Nervous Prostra-
ton, Hysteria, and
SIeepIessness

Any intelligent man or woman can
easily detect victims of nervous troubles
by taxing a ten minute walk on anv of
the crowded streets of our cities or towns
The observer will note countenances full
OF ieverish anxiety, harassed looks. nm
steady hands, faltering steps, twitching
muscles, pallid faces. and startled. anx-
lous looks when unusual n noises are made.
Such people are, without doubt, victims
oil nervous prostration, hysteria, or in
somnia. The whole system sufEers-the
orain' the spinal cord, and the sympa-
thetic system.
IL is unnecessary TO dilate minutely on
the causes OF nervousness Business cares
and disappointments, haste after riches
and honors, social and household W orries
sexual and alcoholic excesses, watching
and anxiety, and loss of near and dear
ones, all contribute to the breaking
down ot the nervous organism of men
and women.
In earnest words we set before this
afflicted class the truth that Paine's Gel.
cry compound affords a speedy and sure
cure Tor all forms of nervous diseases
The great medicine is a perfect restorer
OF nerve force and power; a sure builder
and strengthened OF the weak and debili.
tated system.

thousands in every city and town OF our
land TO renew and invigorate their
health and keep their places in business
and in society. In all large centres whert
nervous diseases are common, the best
physicians prescribe Paine's Celery Com
pound with continued success.
lew bottles OF Ofnature's health restorer

Near Steyensville, King and Queen

up an old shell supposed to have been
tired from a gun-boat during the Civil
War. He did not feel sale in having 1t

powder in it was still explosive or not.
80 he made log fire over the shell, and
then retired. Between 8 and 10 O'Clock
the powder proved that although buried
In the earth for over thirty years, it was
still explosive, and the result was that

To TIRE FREE LANCE:
Discussions may be profitable; contro-
versy may sometimes be helpful. When
it degenerates into a wrangle for trump
over an opponent it is mischievous.
Let us organize Virginia party-a
party that will open up and develop the
vast mineral wealth Of this glorious old
commonwealth-that for years has lain
dormant. Open up her mines, establish
manufactures of all classes, a home
market for all the material, look to your
waters, that flow towards the ocean
and see that navigation is kept open
build up towns on your river fronts
where the farmers may have home mar
kets for the product of their farms
Then you will find prosperity at hom.
and plenty of work for all OF our youns
men-all will be happy.
