If one feels dull and spiritless, in the
spring or early summer, they call it
Spring Fever But there is no fever
usually. 1t is the after effect Of our
winter habits. The nerves are mostly
at fault. Tired worn-out nerves leave
us lanquid, l%ifelcss, and without spirit
or ambition. A few doses of Dr..
Shops Restorative will absolutely and
quickly change all Of these depressing
symptoms. The ReSora OF course won't
bring YOU back to full health in a day or
two, but it will do enough in 48 hours
to satisfy YOU that the remedy is reach
ing that "tired spot. Druggists every
where are advising its use as a splendid
and prompt general tonic. 1t gives more
vim and more spirit to the spoonful than
any other known nerve or constitutional
tonic. 1t sharpcns a failing appetite,
aids digestion, frees sluggish livcrs and
kidneys, and brings new life, strength
and ambition. Test it a few days and
be convinced.

His great life work is now seen in
its true light and southerners now
glory in honoring the man who
failed only because he took upon
himself the most difficult task that
has Yet fallen to an American"
We presume the most impressive
and touching services were those
held in old st Pauls
Church in Richmond Va the
church in which the Davis family
worshipped while living in Rich
mond. The magnificent Davis
monument was formally turnrd
over to the City of Richmond by
Mrs Cornelia Branch Stone, Pres.

ument, memorial windows in St
