A Journal reporter had curious
experience at Franklin county hotel
few nights ago. He arrived ct the
place after long stage trip in the
night. Every one was asleep but the
clerk, and he took the lamp and led
the way up stairs. After trying vain
ly to get into one room and after
much rafting Of the keys in the lock,
he suddenly recollected that the new
cook had been located there earlier
in the evening. The proprietor was
called from his slumbers, but he
couldn't appear to locate the key.
Then the clerk remembered a box of
insists, and after series of expert
ments on the lock, got the door open.
As he babe us good night and wiped
his perspiring brow he said apologet.
ically: al hope you will eLcnse me
for keeping you waiting 80 long,
Bnt you see / tend bar here and I'm
so bnsy that / don't find much time

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION!
Too High Pressure.

In these days Of keen competition in every
line, when the business man is compelled To
bend his intellect and every energy TO the
success of his business; the clerk, book
keeper, professional man and laborer, to
drive themselves at a terrific rate, there can
be but one result-an explosion, which, if
not resulting in immediate death, leaves
them with shattered brains and bodies
They are running at too high pressure.
The strain is too great. Something must
and does give way. This is equally true Of
women. Though their sphere is more
limited, they have their daily burdens, fretS,
and worries, and the results are the same as
with their stronger companions.
This condition is growing worse every
day. The rapidity of its increase is awful
to contemplate. Our homes hospitals, and
insane asylums are full Of these unfortunates,
and are being crowded still further. There
is but one solution Of the matter. Recog-
nize the Importance Of the situation at once,
and take the necessary measures TO over
come it. If you have failing memory, hot
flashes, dizziness, nervous or sick headache,
biliousness, irritability, melancholy, sleep
'lessness, fainting, nervous dyspepsia, epi-
lepsy, etc., know that any one of them is but
symptom of the calamity that may befall
you, and even though you have used So
called remedies and treated with reputable
physicians with little or no benefit, give DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine trial. II is
the only remedy that may be depended
upon for nervous disorders.

Neryine with marked benefit, and later induced

sicians, to try It together with Dr.. Miles Nerve
