Nerve Debility
The cause of Nearly All Sickness Per-
manently Cured by a New Method.

The cause of Nearly All Sickness Per-
manentIy Cured by New Method.
Medicine positively cannot directly
cure disease. 1t simply stimulates pro-
notes and restraints action or quiets
disturbance so that the nerves may
correct the trouble.
If the nerves are strong they can
nurse the injured organs and repair
damage without medicine. That is
commonly called Throwing off dis
ease" If the nerves are not strong
enough to correct the sickness when
the organs are stimulated by medicine,
the case is then pronounced incurable
and the victim is told that there is no
hope for him.
Wheeler's Nerve VitaliZer takes
charge of the case and what is the re-
suit? From the first dose it strength
ems the nerves by supplying properties
lacking. Continued use adds perma-
nent vigor until their strength becomes
normal and they nurse the sick body to
health. This is the modern nerve
method of curing disease and will not
fail.
Don't neglect your simple everyday
ills because you cannot get relief from
other methods. Wheeler's Nerve Vital
izer is not like other medicine. 1t
cures permanently

Water in a we'll 100 feet deep at Lit
tleport was frozen during the recent
cold snap. The we'll is on the property
the same condition has existed during
every spell of extreme could weather
since the we'll was drilled. The only
theory put forward to account for the
trouble is that a crevice exists in the
rock the full length of the we'll, and
within a short distance of it., which
permits the cold air to reach the water,
but why the cold air should reach the
water anyt more readily by means of
crevice by the we'll shaft is not sat

While walking home from town Sat
urday evening just before supper, Mrs.
Louisa j. Darnell had the misfortune
to slip when nearly in front of her
house on North Tenth street She was
taken into her house and Dr.. James
called. Careful investigation showed
that she had broken her right hip and
that a blood vessel in the region of
the hip had parted, causing serious
complications. 1t is doubtful If she
will ever be able to walk, at least not
without the aid of crutches, or some
thing similar. *** Monday morning
occurred the death of George Call
aher at his residence on North Tenth
street. The immediate cause of his
death was pneumonia with which he
had been suffering for some time. Mr..
Gallaher was ~ years old and previous
to the past nine years he had made
his home at Moravia where he owned
property.

Sad news has been received here that
Johnnie Porter, who is attending COL
lege at Hopkinton, Iowa, froze his ears
so badly last Friday night that it is
feared he may lose them. AS no trains
were running he started to walk from
Hopkinton to Monticello to spend Sat-
urday and Sunday with his uncle, Rev.
John Innes The distance is nine
miles and it was so cold that his ears
froze so quickly that he was not aware
of what had happened. 1t was late
when he reached his uncle's and being
exhausted from the walk, went to bed
as soon as he arrived, and not until
the next morning when he woke
up did he realize what had happened.
Both ears We're swollen as large as a
mans hand and water was dripping
from them. A doctor was summoned
at once and everything possible was
done to save them. The doctor thought
at first that he could not possibly save
them, but now thinks there is pos
sible chance that they may be saved.
