What People With Diseased Nerves

But There Is Hope.

Him Know Not the Meaning Of Nerves.

No one can realize the terrible suffering
person has to undergo who has diseased nerves.
Everything seems to irritate him, and actually,
everything considered, but little sympathy
should be extended to such sufferer, as there
is no excuse for the existence of this dreadful
and harrassing disease. With pure blood, and
the lOmach in perfect condition, and with the
other organs Of the body working properly,
health alone can be the result, and with health,
nerves are forgotten. Keep the great vital
organs of the body healthy, and the resultis,a
perfect appetite, nights Of refreshing and quiet
sleep and q body that is strong and robust.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is the one and only
greatremedy for weak and diseased nerves. One
instance of the many brought to our attention

CARING FOR TOURISTS.
Wide-Awake Japanese Organiza-
ton to Look After Foreigners.

The largest number of tourists who
in recent years have visited Japan have
added considerably to the revenue of
the country 1t has been calculated
that every visitor spent in his travels
not less than $500, and the aggregate
result of the arrivals from foreign parts
meant between 5000, 600 and $1,000
600 to Japanese breadearners. Most
of this fell into the hands of curio
dealers, who palmed off inferior goods
on ignorant westerners, and of the
guides who acted as their agents.
To remedy this abuse a society was
formed in 1898, on the initiative of a.
number of Japanese noblemen and
gentlemen, assisted by several infiuen-
tial foreign residents. 1t was called
the Ei-hin-Kai, and its objects We're
to extend a welcome to foreign tourists
and to render them every assistance
during their stay in Japan. Its aims
at bringing within the tourists reach
means of accurately observing the fea-
lures OF the country and the character
istics of the people; visiting public
buildings and places famous for scenic
beauties; seeing objects of art, both
ancient and modern; entering into So
cial ard commercial relations with the
people; in short affording them all ia
cility and convenience toward the ac-
compiisnment of their aims, thus in
directly promoting, in however small a
degree, the cause of international in
tercoulse and trade. Arrangements are
