Brewers in Session.

The United States Brewers Associa-
tion were in session in Milwaukee last
week. President Obermann made a re-
view OF the brewing interests in both
Europe and America. Referring to
Prohibition he said:
Judging from present indications
public opinion appears TO have grown
tired OF the unreasonable haranoues
OF those more or less interested par
ties who strive TO represent our trade
as the source OF all evil. Rational
views eagendered by experiences dia-
metrically opposed TO the theories Of

ground. and we NAV confdentiallv
look forward to the time-in the near

being on the alert and prepared to
fight external enemies, may turn its
energies wholly TO internal affairs. per-
fecting industrial and commercial
methods in a N and by means
that viii rebound to the benefit and
credit of all.
When that time shall have come the
brewers of the country will not only
be in a position to ~cheerfullv acqu:esce

regulate the saloon business and ridd-
ing communities objectionable places
but would no doubt be pleased to take
the initiative in such movements.

The board are seeking a location
whore they can procure a large tract
of good farming land and an abundant
supply Of pure water. What county
in the state can furnish land at
reasonable prices comparable to the
fertile prairie farms of Grant county ?
Our present poor farm is the envy
of other counties in the state and we
have more land in Lancaster Just as
good.
That the Griswold spring supplies
the purest water in the state in guam
titles sufficient for a half dozen cities
like Lancaster seems to be an assured
fact.
This combination OF fertile land and
pure water makes this Immediate
vicinity an ideal location for the new

which the Lancaster Business Mems

attention without delay.

SEAT OF OUR HEALTH.
Things that DR.. shoop has Discovered
About our Nerves. How
They Control Disease.
Our Two Sets of Nerves. which set Makes
Us Feel Sick. and How 1t Can be Cured.

Onr Two Sets of Nerves. which set Makes
Us Feel Sick. and How It Can be Cured.
The seat Of health is the nerves.
The brain is not the seat OF our
health.
We cannot wiU ourself well even ii
we wish to.
Then how about the nerves; are the
nerves not controlled BY the brain?
There are two sets OF nerves. One
is controlled by the brain. The other
isn't.
This other controls our internal or
gans and is called the sympathetic
nerves When we are sick. if we
can cure this set of nerves we will
thereby cure II sickness.
Our stomach, ourliyer. our kidney,
our heart are all kept in working or
der by our sympathetic nerves.
That is, when they are well. When
the nerves are sick, the organs are
not kept in order. This is the cause
of sickness.
DIR. Shoop treats the cause.
II DR.. Shoop said he could cule the
sickness, he might be doubted. So
many people have tried doctors and
failed.
But he doesn't trouble about the
sickness. He just cures the Cause.
That is enough, is it not?
If the cuuse is cured, the sickness
viii 90 OF itself.
Ii a worm is gnawing at the root OF
a tree, you can't cure the tree by
spraying the branches.
You must remove the cause, the
worm.
This is just exactly what DR..
Shoop's Restorative will do for Dys-
liver complaint, kidney dis
ease, etc.
1t cures the sympathetic nerves,
are at the root OF the trouble.

his eight brothers and father We're like

presence of DR.. Johnston, Il commission
err, Admiral Child and several other
respectable gentlemen, as follows: At
a. m. he breakfasted ON four pounds of
raw cows udder: by 1880 he finished
five pounds of raw beef, twelve tallow
candles of pound weight, and one bot
tie of porter; between / and & he made
way with FIVE pounds of beef, one pound
of candles and three bottles of porter.
His skin was cool, his pulse regular and
he was in good spirits. 1T is also to be
observed that the day was hot, and not
having his usual exercises in the yard, it
mayt.be presumed he would have other

danced, smoked his pipe and drank bot
