In the Southern states have been
witnessed many acts of the most
lawless character in the past thirty
years, but it is doubtful if ever a
more barbarous or fendish act of
inhuman brutality took place than
was perpetrated on the negro Hose
in Georgia this week. Hoses crime
was an extraordinary one, but the
law was sufficient to adequately pun
lsh the miserable brute. It seems al
most impossible to believe that civ
ilized men could be found who would
tie the veriest wretch to a tree, then
cut off his ears and fingers and carry
them away as trophies of the
slaughter. Next they poured oil upon
the unfortunate victim, piled fagots
around his body and applied the
torch. About fifteen hundred people
surrounded the unfortunate wretch,
and made, things hideous with their
frlghtful orgies. A band of Com
anche Indians could have done no
worse. The South has made aston
ishing progress in material prosper.

removed from the conditions existing
during the dark ages.

creating a state tax commission

ten years, the aggregate salaries for

DYSP :. PSIA.
Nervous Dyspepsia Caused me Great Dis
tress for Number Of Years. Cured by
DR.. NILES NERVINE.

An active mind. suffering from
overexertiOn, worry, trouble or
the cares Of business, demands
from the body a greater amount
of fuel for the vital fires than the
digestive organism can supply.
1t requires a certain amount of
vital force to operate the human
machine, and when all the avail
able supply Of force is absorbed
by the overworked brain there
is nothing left for the stomach.
1t is easy now to understand
why irritability and dyspepsia
have become almost synony-
nous; why nervous person is
usually SO very particular and
capricious about food. 1t is an
almost undisputed fact that no
marked progress can be made
toward the ultimate cure of any
disease until the mind is put
into that calm, serene condition
which is natural to people in full
bodily health and vigor DR..
Miles Nervine puts the mind in
just that condition. 1t is a brain
aud nerve food and tonic whose
important elements, acting upon
the body and mind with equal
force, possesses remarkable eff
cheney in nervous disorders.
