This -wonderful Nervine Tonic a1: v. 1. ... f 2..i. A

una y uj uid uicat uuuui viiit'i iuiiii itteuu niu v.umjjiui y , uuei yet lis great value as a curative agent has long been known by the native inhabitants of South America, who rely almost wholly upon its great medicinal powjrs to cure eveiy form of disease by which tlicy are overtaken. 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 ot 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 the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strengthener of the life forces of the human body and as a great renewer of a broken down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the Lungs than any ten consumption remedies ever used on -this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all agea. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic almost constantly for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year.

All these and many other complaints

NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able

to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir, are

dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. 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 the right kind of food is supplied, and

a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which tho vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living 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 is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous

derangements.

OAGO special: t 'World's Colum bian Exposition has been formally opened. Tho series of celebrations consequent upon the dedicatory cxeretaes wns inaugurated in Chicago's streets Thursday morning, ft'hen tho gorgeous civic pageant niarhod beforo Ueliguteil thousands. The command which put In motion tho mighty coiuuui of nearly a hundred th usand opened an event that will go tinging dowu the ages as the most brilliant page In tho history or a great and prosperous nation. No such multitude as surged through tho streets has Chicago ever before seen. Political conventions with their crowds and clamor vera loft far behind, and tho scene on the down-town thoroughfares as the great parade moved off will be long reinen: berod alike by Chicagoans and by tho visitors who thronged tho city. It was oloso to the noon hour when tho vanguard of stalwart policemen spurred thei:r restless horses and wheeled into 1 no. (General Miles and his brilliantly uniformed military aids, and tho more brilliantly attired civilians of his stall', came iuto view, and presently the advance guard of that vast army of ino.OO l men was in motion. Everywhere along the line of maivh the distinguished men a-s well as tho organizations making the most striking displays were greeted with enthusiastic cheering. Though the sun had hid himself behind a bank of clou Is, and tho sky looked down with a lowering face upon tho moving display of uniriation and colors, nothing oould clamp the ardor of tho crowd, and nothing that was worthy escaped their notice. IFrom tho grand stand on the Adams street front of the Government Building. Vice President Levi P. Morton, tho n embers of the Cabinet, tho Supreno Court, and diplomates from all the nationsi of the earth witnessed the grand civic parade as it passed in review. In tho streets there was a mob; it cannot be ci'.lod by uny other name. This wm es sentially people's day in the series of eeromories. AVednesday night's grand ball at the Auditorium was a notable event, but the participants woro confined to tho upper ten in official and social life, for Governors, legislators and diplomats; Thursday night's military ball was for tho same olttfisos.

Friday was tho great Columbian dedication day proper, and on this day tho big programme for which the whole country has been preparing for months was given. Tho day's eserclses began with a salute of twenty ono guns on tho Lake Front. At 9:15 o'clook tho dedicatory parade was started. G n. Miles and "his staff came down the rotilovard at the head of a glittering company of United States troops. The even lines of yellow plumes rising and falling in unison, the steady trot of the horses, the quietness and precision of every movement, was a rovolation to spectators unused to military pageants. Tho staff of 0 n. Miles was followed by tho mounted band. Then eamo troop nftor troop ol cavalry, presenting a solid line twelve deep, extending from curb "irb. Three troops o' -'lry,

with tanned and beirded faces; a troop of Indian cavalry, copper-colorod and e.xprobsionless, and a traop of colored cavalry, black and fimiliug that ;J3 the way thoy eamo. After the cavalry was another aouittod band, and then appeared artillerymon, who rattled over tho uneven cedar blocks about 12i h st reet at a smart trot. The regular artillery wore followed by a battery of tie National Guard. The volunteer boys were not so smart as the regulars, but they looked very businesslike and full of xjwc or. Tho escort v-as not yet finished, for smoothly and silently came a troop mounted on wheels the Toledo cadets. Tho people gave tlui sixty men a cheer as they passed, whieh seemed well deserved, for their soldierly appearance and tho even mar nor in which they handled, their iron steeds were very noticable, Tho brilliant ;scott which had passed was none too brilliant for the array of power, wealth, and lntelleot which was now to follow, 'vhen the Governara of the country and the men who havo directed tho aifairs of the Exposition rode and drove in publio parade "jo the dedication of th 9 World's Fair. First In the .ine of carriages whieh followed the troops was the highest representative of tho Government of the United States, Vice President Morton, and escort. In com pany with the Vice President were President Palmer of tie National World's Pair Commission and ex-President Baker cf the World'n Fair. Then followed the Governors ot the different States and other notablen, with their olds and attendants, the whole making a glittering e.nd imposing spectacle that will be ro:ncmbered as long as the dedication ceremonies shall hold a place in history. Tho parade marched down tho gayly decorated boulevard to Washington Park, where tho military review occurred. Starting tor the Buildings. After this eve at was over the eivalry procession as t.n escort started from the Washington Park reviewing stand, marching up Palmer avonue and through Midway Pliisanco to the entrance of the grounds. The route along tho whole lino was rich with decorations of every description, the colors of all nuttons being thrown to the breeze in great profusion, with the flags of America and Spain tho most prominent. At the junctio:i of Cottage Gkmo avonue and the Plaisance a squad of police under Lieut. Powers was stationed; at the Woodlawn intersection was Lieut, liehm with another squad of police, while between tho forces of Powors and Ilehm there was a space of about half a mllo in whieh tt.ere were no police. Into

this gap the crowd n shed witliou t hindorance and so mi b ieame unmanageable. All was confusion and the crowd threatened to inter.ero considerably with the progress of the prooessicn. But everything was later put to rights by tho appearance oi the troops, which had been held Ir reserve at tho grounds to welcome tho parade. Tho coming of tho troops Boor restored ordot among the crowd. The people obeyed with great good humor when the soldiers, who had been formed in line down each Bide of tho road ordered them back. In a few minutes the whole stretch of road unprotected by tho police was picketed by tho troops. After the procession had passed the sole iers fell in behind and formed a rear guard to tho parade. When tho military parade entered the grounds over the viaduct it made an almost ontiro circuit before dispersing at the end of tho park. Then the dignitaries and invited guosts began to, enter tho big .Manufactures Building and tho great procession was over. Within the .ttumifucturoii Building. Tho seeno in the great hall, as viewed from tho platform at 1(1 o'clock, was thrilling. It was a spectacle that hi omlnir years will mtirk an croch In the march of the nations of tho iarth. And when away on in the time that is to oome American history shall bo written, no man In the chill of calm thought will b able to paint with words the dedicatory scene. Docs ono who was not present gain any notion of the moaning of fifty aeres of packed humanity? Does he got an Impression of vas.tnesc. when lie knows that St. Peters at Borne might bo put within tho greit structuro and with room left? Whit does it mean to say that 10(1,000 persons may be comfortably seated and room left for 75,000 more? The ehief decorations in the groat buildbig were at the rear of tbe grand stand and arched over the broad, carpeted aisle through w hich tho dignitaries sought tholt places on tho platform. From the roof s ;reanii;rs of bunting of yellow and red and white drooped down from tho iron girders to the sides of the great iron archeii. Ti ere was a background of great Hags with tho stars and stripes drawn smoothly at points and tastefully drapetl in others, while in the center an eagle carved in stone formed tho nucleus ot it glorious standard of colors. On ono sido of this setting, hanging from away upon one of the iron arches, depended tho banner of Spain. There was also displayed for the Hist time on a near-1 y arch the official banner of the World's Columbian Exposition. Out upon the great, vast floor, under tho arches and the depending Hags, a forest of chairs had loen placed, and when tho crowd had como in and tho people had gatl ered, a great, nervous, moving soa of humanity moaned with ebbing hum and buzz of talk and comment. Tho gallery up among the arches of iron and surrounding the entiro building was filled and blackened with humanity. Imagine 00,00t human faces in a bunch in the center 3f n great Held about whom are sturding nearly as many more i ersons. I'.ee tho stand filled with tho singers am; distinguished guests and hear the preliminary blaro of tho brass iustrunioii' s, which are being put through preliminary operation for the music which is :o come. Diffuse over this ent ire scene the growing murmur, which at times mounts to a roar, and u faint idea of the scene may be pictured on the mental vision. To one who has nivor seen the behemoth buildings in Jackson Park, it may bo impossiblo to give an adequate idea of the colossal magnitudo of the groat spectacle. National conventions h'lvo boon accepted us great assemblages, yet several national conventions could have been held in the lobbies without interference with the people in the main room.

By the time the cheering and waving of handkerchiefs, had ended the speakers' stand and seats behind were embanked with the most notable gathering of dignitaries and liigh ofOcials ever seen in this soantry outside tho national capital. Chief of these, of course, was Vico President Morton, who in his capacity a representative of tho President and of the Government had tho seat honor, directly In tho front of the center. Next to him on his right wero Bishop iPowler and Dr. McCook, while Director General Davis, master of ceremonies, ivas on his left. In a semicircular row behind the Vico President were Mrs. Sarah Cowell LeMoyne, who was selected to road a portion of Miss Monroe's dedication odo; Gen.

Widener, chairman of the Committee on Ceremonies of tho National Commission; Mrs. Gillespie, who was President of tho Woman's Hoard of the Centennial Exposition, and is tho granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin; Mrs. Potter Palmer, President of the Board of Lady Managers, and Hen :y Wattorson, the dedication orator. Across the lisle in a corresponding semi-circle were Mayor Washbtirno, Miss Monroe, who wreite the ode of tho day; Chauneey Depew and Cardinal Gibbons. Director o Works Burnham had a place next to Mrs. Leijioyno, but was too busy to maintain it for any length of time.

Hia address was a briof recital of national triumphs, closi ng with a concise statement of the purpose for which the exposition had V, A rt! 4-S N t f7 4 ' " IN THE GREAT BUILDING. been inaugurated. The simplicity of t ho words and the exalted thought shey convoyed found a quick response in his hearers, bringing interruptions of applause and a volley of vocal approval at the close. Mayor Washburne wast than introduced to deliver an address of wolcomo iind tender the freedom of the oity. His tones, while locking in resonance, were enunciated so clearly and with siuch s uprising strength that his thought won the ear of the guests of the day to whom ho addressed himsell'. Citizens of Chicago, too, responded enthusiastically when he declared tho city's greatt ess and wealth of promise. Following tho Mayor came readings by Mrs. Sarah Cowell Le Moyne, of New York, from Miss Monroe's dedication ode. Tho reading comprised, only a. fragment of the poem, alternating with verses sung by the chorus from ntisle. composed by G. W. Chaclwiek, of Boston. As Mrs. LeMoyne finished reading Director General Davis pre sen tod her with a wreath on behalf of rjho women of Chicago. This was a simple affair of laurel leaves bound with yellow and terra eotta ribbon. The cheers that followed this act brought Miss Harriet Jlonroe, the author, to her feet, and she a lso was presented with a liko memento, which she acknowledged by a graceful low and smile. Director of Works Burnham formally presented the designers, painters, and sculptors of the Exposition with comnonioratlve medals. Mr. Burnham' s voice is not calculated to reach the ,gallorles, and ho made no attempt in that direction. As he took his seat he was met by the usual cheer, taken up in the galleries and echoed by tho Individuals banging from the girders well up to the dome. Mm. Potter Palmer's addnjss, "Work of tho Board of Lady Managers" was enthusiastically received. Sho was introd toed by Director Genera.; Davis and received with a standing salute, in viiiict the dignitaries joined. Tho President of the Board of Lady Managers acknowledged this reception by a modost bow and proceeded at on se with her report, looking down upon the waving of handkerchiefs and snilliag, expectant faces. H. N. Higlnbotham, President of the Chicago Directory, made tho presentation of the buildings of the Columbian Exposition to President T. W. Palmer ot the Columbian Commission.
