This new and valuable South American medicine possesses powers and qualities hitherto unknown to the medical profession. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, and diseases of the general Nervous System. It also cures all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the Great Nervine Tonic qualities which it possesses and by its great curative powers upon tho digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfullv valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and
strengthener of the life forces of the

NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every clas3 of Nervous Diseases, iio remedy has been able
to compare with the Nervine Tonic, all its effects upon the youngest child
ual. .Nine-tenths ot all tne ailments to which the numan lamuy is heir, are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when tho right kind of food is supplied, and thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As tho nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of tho body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want 0f perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a rafficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of Eving and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This recent production of the South American Continent has been found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue iB formed. This accounts for its Euagic power to cure all forms of nervous derangements.

Ho took the ice box, cortainlng the lco end wator, out into tlio court aud emptied it on the ground. Three colored children residing In the court, Charles Burk, I;;uatlus Burk and Mary V.

It Is reported In Ottawa that the captain of ono ot tbe British Columbia sealing vessels seized by tho Iiussiaus In Bohrlng Sea is there for tho purpose of furnishing tho government with affidavits of his soiztire and information as to others; also that he makes the following statement; Having been in the Baltic he understands the Russian language, and while a prisoner.

The contingency Is certainly contemplate! oi a war botween Russia and Englond, aui If these seizures and consequent v:olntloi.s of tho treaty of 1S23 between liuisia.aii.1 England are regarded as a casus belli, with the United States assisting Russia, the possible consequences to Canada itro very serious DECLARED THE ACT INVALID. Deolslon of the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the Apportionment Cas'9. Tho Wisconsin Supremo Court lias rendered a decision declaring tbo apportionn ont made by tbo extra session of tbe Legislature Invalid. Justice Winslow dissents, Another session will doubtless to called and the LorUlaturo will make another attempt to conform to the ru lings of t lie court The court hold that the order gn mini leave to the relator to bring this action on behalf of the State was properly made. Hence the motion on behalf of the defendant to vacate iho same and dismiss tho action must bo denied. Tho court further holds that the complaint states focts sufficient to entitle tho State to tho relief demanded therein. Venco tbe motlcn on behalf of the Etato to strike out the demurrer to tho complaint as frivolous and lor judgment must bo granted. Such detormlnail n of those- motions in effect ovoriulos tho demurrer t tho complaint, Thjgonoral view of tho situation I-1, that tho court practically docides that tbo Legislature has no discretion in making apportionments so far as population Is concerned, and that tho law is practically declarod invalid.

PECK MAKES A REPLY.
rho New Vork Labor Commissioner Gives Ills Pledge of Secre.y. Labor Commissioner Peek was in court at Albany to show cause why h 3 should not allow an exnmlnatioi:. of I ho tariff circulars received from New Yorit city manufacturers, on which the cimniii.sioner based his report of tie eff : ct of tho tariff on labor and wages, Mr. Pock's plea was that all correspondence conducted by him with em ployes and employers was under a sr sonal pledge of eoerory, without wh c'l no llguros could bo obtained. Tho earn cuatu.es p. feck. (net hod prevailed In other Sts.tos, t.nl tho returns ho id received wero his own proporty and not that of tho State-. Hence no call upon him for the basis cf a is reports should bo honored, .uio case went over until a later dato. Tho affidavits on which the mandamus a askod wore made public at tlio institution of this proceeding at Kingston son o time ago, and allege a demand by 'he relator to see tho circulars; t ii.it thoy aro public papers, onu thai; his demand was refused. Peck Makoi Affidavit Mr. Hoegan read an affidavit of 3Jr. Peck, In which ho sa'.d: The law really specified no detalh for the performance of my duties or the method tc be in rmed iu obtaining the information it 'rss lesiimed to secure for the Legislature of the State. In order to obtain the information rupilred to moke annual reports it v-as n-'oe-mi-v that I should obtain the conlldenc f oil employer and employe, the business nea md the laboring ooonle of the Stata. At tie ?er outset I was obliged to make a rule, put lelj announced by mo. that all inlormatlun Atis to be rseelved In the strictest (onfldenre is to all eoirespoudeiita and informants, ind 10 r..ames of Dersotis. emnloves Or tmftlovsn. except by xprefs permission, should apiiear n any nepi nmeni report or oe oinerwise given .11 her to individuals or the public, and tUa to apr containing or relating to intoruial ion eotived 0:: used by mo in discharge of the iut:.es of ny office shotildever be placed on tile :n my office or be made a matter of rccorc , or e considered other than the private property f the commissioner for the protection of the senders of eomniunloatlons, and I havenfver considered it my duty to preserve tlic same. Every tluc I sent out circulars asilna for .nformatioa I invariably gave pledges of ss-n-,?ey to my correspondents, and have done mo tunially, Tho practice pursued by me in lsi md ism w-ns no departure from th. uniform mm-sp of prior years. I found in tbo law ersiting my oftioe provision authorizing me to cxunlue witnesses, but with the condition i.ht jo "witnens shall, against his will, be comDt lljd to aiswer any questions respecting his piivate affslrs." This restriction rendered It ;nu ticully Impossible to glvo effect to the iu:nt of tho Legislature unless the coufidc noe f the people or the State could be secured arid re tnlnod and their private affairs voluntarily iisclosed. Repeated refusals came to me from nus iness men, and besides the cire ilars ne:it ut each year I have written and ttent thoa9an,ls of letters giving personal assurances to 'he wrf tern that no use would be made of thi ir ionfldonce, and every communication would be !ield to be sacred and denied to a:iy one, In9l tiding rh als In the same branch of Industiy. By iueh legitimate mesns and by s ich honcrabl..' pledis only have I been able to dlsjhanre the responsible duties of my office and o render to the Legislature tin; data, annually transmitted to it In my annual report. In twenty-seven States of the Union that have labor bureaus it has been f o md nec s?ary to g: vo to all persmstae pl idge of tejurltv and confidence given by me during the several ye irs of my official life. These pledges relate to aad cover eases of employers and cmploves ar,9 labor organizations. The summary which was issued by me In 1R95, and about wblh the proceedings have arisen, wts Issued anc published by me at the -:ime usual for the pt bllcation of reports of ether State oftt oers, ai d about tho same time I have published mv report every other year, and every year in w ileal have made ur:. a report to the Letislatuie I Invariably published beforehand In or about Ansust of each your a summary as I have published lu 1S02. I have not deviat od from the i:sual course aud practice of my cfttee, nor have I in ISM departed from toy custom of my ofllee with respect to my report. The attempt made to establish the theory 'hat my report was given out to lnriuence fie pending election is false, as the compilations were all made before any Democratic nomination was made, and the data wero oltained before any one could tell who the nominees of iny party would be. The communications and letters upon whioh my preceding annual reports were based were never ftlel nor made a record iu my office and were never t'.-e propertv of tho State, but were private le;t?rs. and whatever propjrty exists in them is divided between this deponent as the receiver and the several senders of the leter?, aud am advised by my counsel that under the decision of Woolsey vs. Jttdd aad Uutr. 37. and other kindred cases, lujunotlrm would He against me if I attempted in any wty ',o make public tho matter that I guaranteed should beprivare matter and held as secret aad ocfidentiiiL As the bend of the department In inestton 1 am of the opinion and so represent to this hotiorable court that the publication of -he names and addresses of the persons aad ;orporstfons who have furnished lata upon which my report Is based, would be grect'.y lurlous to the public interests.
