Once Used, they are Always in Favor.


Assist Nature little now and then, with
a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby remov-
ing offending matter from the stomach and
bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver
and quickening its tardy action, and you
thereby remove the cause of multitude of
distressing diseases, such as headaches, in
digestion, or dyspepsia, biiiousness, pim-
pies, blotches, eruptions, boils, constipa-
ton, piles, fstula and maladies too nuner-
Gus to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels, they would have less frequent
occasion to call for their DOCTORS ser
vices to subdue attacks of dangerous dis
eases.
That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are unequaled, is proven by the fact that
once used, they are always in favor Their
secondary effect is to keep the bowels open
and regular, not to further constipate, as is
the case with other pills. Hence, theirpreat
popularity, with sufferers from habitual
constipation, piles and indigestion.
They absolutely cure sick headache, bill
business, constipation, coated tongue poor
appetite, dyspepsia and kindred deranee-
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels

The mass meeting to be held in the Opera
House, Ravenna, at o'clock p. NJ, Friday,
March %, is attracting wide attention and
arrousing large expectations. The question
to be considered is highly important to every
citizen. The relation of the Saloon to the
business prosperity of Ravenna is question
that caunot be too carefully considered.
People want to know whether these institu-
tions are helpful or damaging, and they have
a right to know. Addresses will be made by
Rev. Geo. 81. Vibbert and Wayne B. Wheeler
All want to hear Mr.. Vibbert, and Mr.
Wheeler is said to be young David, skill
full in the use of his sling-arguments for
the truth and right. Opportunity will be
given for anyone to ask questions, or to ex-
press any honest reason for the perpetuation
of the saloons. If saloons are help to
legitimate business let the fact stand in open
public. If they are damage then do not
try to conceal this fact. Let the fact be
known. Let every citizen, especially every
business man, arrange to attend this most
important meeting.

Last Thursday forenoon John T. Retzel
appeared before Justice Beatty, ready to
answer to the cherges made in the case of
Ohio VS. Roetzel & Shanafelt, the leading
merchants at Sufield Center, for selling
adulterated vanilla. The defendants were
represented by ]. II. Dussel, Esq. of this
city, and the State by Hon. s. P. Wolcott, of
Kert. The case was brought during the
preceding week, by Deputy Food Commits
sioner Hurd, on the supposed authority of
an analysis made by State Chemist Smith,
of the Case School, at Cleveland, by virtue
of which specimen of the goods in ques,
ton was alleged to contain less than one
per cent. of pure vanilla. The defendants,
however, had another specimen of the same
goods analyzed by State Chemist Webber, at
Columbus, who pronounced the article pure
and unadulterated. Prof. Smith subsequent
ly concurred in the analysis made by the
Columbus chemist, whereupon the Deputy
telegraphed an order for the dismissal of
the case, which was accordingly done.
While we thoroughly endorse the spirit of
the pure food law, we are of opinion that
beneficial modification of the statute would
be to throw the responsibility for the i'm
pure products made in this State entirely
upon the manufacturer. The primary object
of the law is, of course, to protect the public
and it seems to US that the original makers
of the goods, who of all parties handling
them, are better situated to know their true
character, were alone held amenable to the
law, its purposes would be more satisfacto-
rily realized. The most efficient blow is
always at the root of an evil, and by pro.
viding sufficiently heavy penalty against
the original offender, SO as TO make it un-
profitable for him to send out the spurious
stuff, the middle man, or retail dealer, would
have comparative small opportunity for Or
dering bogus goods, even were he SO dis
posed. But as matter of fact, the moral
guilt is to be traced in nearly every instance,
to the manufacturer, and as matter of sim
pie Justice between him and the dealer, the
former should be made to pay the penalty Of
whal, nine times out Of ten, is his sole mis-
demeanor Protect the dealer and you will
most effectually proteca the public. 1t is the
best results to the public that guage the sal.
utary character of any law. OF course such
modification could not apply to manufac-
turers outside of the State. A general Fed
eral law would be still better.

Among the choice literary contributions
to the March PETERSON is a finely con-
ceived and we'll executed specimen of prose
pathos from the pen of a talented writer,
Emily D. Mcbride, wife of Dr. NJ. G. Nc
Bride, of this city. The story sketch from
the life of "a Little Maid of Shakertown" is
charmingly, because naturally told. 1t fur
nishes a delightful glimpse of the beautiful
simplicity and sincere plety of a single
minded. austere sect, at the same time index
ing the inevitable, ever present struggle with
the promptings of the human heart confined
within the rigid walls of such moral prison
house. The picture is necessarily a quaint
one, but it has rare setting and is faithful
portrayal. The dainty delineation has re-
ceived high praise from eminent critic au,
thority and certainly evidences superior
genius for the authoress.
