THE NEWS EECOBD. SUMMARY OF A WEEK'S HAPPENINGS. The Ncgrat Smith. Hu-ed and Burned at Roanoke, Va Another Train Robbery A Bad Accident Ina Mine Canted by Care lessness Killed by the Care. HANGED AND BUBXEO. The Hob Finally Got Possession of the RtfTD Smith and Hnmr Him. Roanoke (Va.) special: A squad ot twenty men tooK tnenesrro Smitn from tho police just before 5 o'clock Friday morning, ana n&nged nun to a mckory limb on Ninth Avenue, in the residence section of the city. They riddled his body with bullets, and left a placard on it saying: "This is Mayor, Trout's Friend." A coroner's jury of business men was summoned and viewed the body of the negro, and rendered a verdict of death at the hands of unknown men. Thousands of people visited the scene of tne lyncning 'between daylight and 8:50 o'clock, when the body was cut down. After the jury com pleted its work the body was placed in the hands of officers who were unable to keep back the mob. Three hundred men tried to drag the man through the streets, Dut Key. ur. Campbell, of the jftrst Presbyterian unnren, ana tjapt. H. a. Moorman, with pleas and by force of strength, prevented them. Capt. Moorman hired a wagon and the body was put in it. It was thon conveyed to the banks of tho KoanoKe, about one nuie irom the scene of the lynching. Here the body was dinar or ed from the wagon and burned. Pi' es of dry brush wood were brought and the body was placed on it and more brushwood then piled on, leaving only the head bare. The pile was saturated with coal oil and a match applied. The body was consumed within an hour. Tho cremation was witnessed by several thousand people. At one time the mob threatened to bury the negro-in Mayor Trout's yard. There is much indignation against Mayor Trout and the militia, and many thi-eatsof vengeance have been openly made. Capt. Bird, the commander of the militia, has left town. Mayor Trout has also disappeared, and President Bucknot, of the City Council, is acting mayor. Excitement is running high now. The citizens are now talking of holding an indignation meeting, and it is rumored on the streets that threats are being made to burn the town unless satisfaction of some sort is rendered. Crowds throng the streets and all the public places. There is an immense crowd in front of Oakey & Woolwino'st the undertakers, where seven of the dead bodies lie. The take Shore Bobbers. Defiance (Ohio) special: The excitement created here over the rumor concerning the Kendall villo train robbers who were believed to be in hiding east of this city, has abated somewhat, although the investigation by Superintendent W. H. Snyder and W. P. C. McQuilkin, of the United States Express Company, developed a number of facts which only deepens the mystery surrounding the identity of the three strange horsemen seen in the neighborhood of Midway a few days since. Two, as least, of the strangers visited this city during their stay in this vicinity and wired money orders to friends in the West. Whoever the strange horsemen were they are no longer believed to be in this section and are doubtless working their way North. ' Carelessness Causes Bad Accident. Wilkesbarre (Pa.) special: By carelessness of the mine foreman an explosion of gas was caused in Plymouth mine, killing five men and injuring six. All the injured will recover. The accident occurred in Lance No. 11 colliery, of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company? at Plymouth, two miles from this city. Assistant Mine Foreman Lightly descended into the main shaft to inspect some work. He had a naked lamp in his cap. The lamp ignited the gas and an explosion resulted. A Strike Predicted. Terre Haute (ind.) special: Grand Master Sargent, of the Firemen's Brotherhood, who has returned from - Cincinnati, where he attended the fruitless conference with President Ingalls relative to revoking the cutwages order, says he believes there will be a general strike of all federated employes on the road. A Prominent Business Staa Goes Wrong;. St. Paul business and social circles were shocked beyoDd measure recently, upon learning that Jules H. Burwell, Vico President and Treasurer and General Manager of the Mast, Buford & Burwcll Carriage Company, was charged with misappropriating 60,000 of the funds of the company. Killed by the Can. Patrick E. Collins of Chicago, was killed by the Cincinnati and Chicago fast train, at Kokomo, Ind. He was a relative of Hon. Pat A. Collins of Massachusetts. Another Train Bobbery, A train on the Newport News and Mississippi Valley Railroad, was held up at Fulton, Ky., by train robbers. The engineer, fireman, and two passengers are reported killed. The Penn Hardware Works at Reading, Pa., employing 500 hands, has resumed operations on full timo. The works had been working but four days a week. India Not to Borrow. A dispatch from Simla says that there Is no truth in the report that the Indian government Is about to Issue a loan of 8,000,000 pounds sterling lo London. The Indian government. It is added. Is only Issuing a certain quantity of debentures. the amount depending upon the sale of council drafts. Nothing like the Issue of 5,000,000 pounds is contemplated. Fatal CbDbjioa oa a Race Track, Oscar Gbristenson, of Lanes boro, Minn. . was killed in a collision on the Tracy fair grounds track, between Kitty, a running horse, and a trotter from Pipestone, driven by E. Link. Both horses were killed. It Is alleged that Link was driving lnthi wrong direction and ran Into Christonson. Cave Himself Op to the Police. At Boston, learning that a warrant wa out for his arrest, William V. Bwan, SO years old. entered the Inspector's office and gave himself up. He Is charged with the larceny cf I topertj valued at St, KM) from George L Boblnson Jr. Co. Bwan was the conedential clerk.

Each Captain Was Killed. Advices from San Bote County, L T., confirm a report of the killing of two Choctaw and the wounding nf a third. Those killed were Lewis Lucas and Moses Wooldredge, captains of the opposing teams In a native ball game. "i -

RAGING FOREST FIRES. Northern Wisconsin Is Suffering from a Terrible Visitation. The report of the burning of Harsh field. Wis, by forest Arcs was exaggerated, but Northern Wisconsin Is one smoldering furnace. The line of fires ravaged tbo forests between Marshfield and Lake Superior. Where they will end no one can say. Unless there Is rain In Northern Wisconsin soon even greater disasters than have already occurred may be expsctod. Many families are bomeles and donltuts. As yet no one has been able to confirm the reports of losiei ot llf:, but that some nottlon have been cut off by the flames and killed U very probable. So far all who have been reported as missing, however, havo been located. Many persons escaped death only after adventures of a most thrilltnu character, an l some of the Rtnrlc. of ths rcfaTccs aro dramatic The fire la tho greatest since that of 1871. The extent of tho damage cannot bo estimated owing to tho fact that the fires have cut olf telegraphic communication with most of the smil lor towns. On timber the losses are the heaviest and Fr.ink McMillan, of the McMillan Lumber Company, In an Interview said tho km to Wlscinstn forests would probably amount to between $3,000,000 and 6,000,000. 1 his represents a vast amount ot pine as well as hardwood timber, covering a land area which oven those most familiar with the forests ot Wisconsin cannot estimate.

TO PUNISH TRAIN ROBBERS. BepreMntatlve Caldwell Proposes to Slake the Punishment Fit the Crime. The bill which Representative Caldwell, tt Ohio, has introduced Into the House to break up tho Increasing practice of holding up and wrecking railroad trains provides: That any person who displaces or removes a railway switch, cross-tie or rail, or injures a railway track or bridge, or does or causes to be done any act whereby a locomotive, car or train ot cars Is stopped, obstructed or injured, with Intent to rob or Injure tho person or property passing over any railroad engaged In Interstate commerce, and where in consequence of such acts any person is killed, shall be guilty of murder. If the attempt does not result In murder the guilty person on conviction shall be Imprisoned at hard labor for from one to twenty years. The same penalty Is made to attach to conviction of a chargo of throwing anything against a train or causing anything to fall upon it with intent to rob any person or property on such train. Circuit and district courts of the United States are given jur'dlctlon nf all cases arising under the act; The bill has been referred to the committee on Interstate NINE ARE KILLED, Knot-Bound Bis; Foot Trains Collide en the Illinois Central, The second section of the Big Four express. No. is, south-bound, crashed Into the rear end of the first section at 0:20 o'clock Monday night, near Manteno, 111, on the Illinois Central Nine persons were killed and twenty severely injured. The engine of the second section ran dear through one sleeper and two coaches. The accident was caosed by the colliding section running so close to the first that a flagman could not signal It In time to stop, The passengers were all from West Virginia and Central Ohio, en route borne from the World's Fair. The wreck was the aorst that; has occurred on the Illinois Central system for tweo ty years, Severn! of the Injured art beyond recovery and it is probable that the list ot fatalities will be swelled to fourteen. 1 he citizens of Manteno threw open tbelr doors, nd temporary hospitals were fitted up all ever the hamlet Everything that could be done was accomplished to alleviate suffering. .. CASHIER BAIN AN KMliEZZLEK. Confesses to the Directors of the Home Bank That He Lost In Speculation. The Home Bank, at New York, has been robbed of $16,183 in bonds by Its cashier, Howard L, Bain. Bain has confessed to the directors of the institution that ho lost the money in speculation in Wall street The discovery that tho bonds had disap peared from the safe was mane three weeks ago. The defalcation was kept quiet, however, until It leaked out through an unguarded statement of an officer of tbe bank to one ot the depositors. Bain has not been arrested. He sent In bis resignation, but was not discharged. He was bonded for 15.000 by the Fidelity Casualty Company. The latter has agreed to pay the full amonnt of Its bond to the hank. The rest nf tbo defalcation, SI. 183 has been made good by the director Thieves in Queer Placet, Into the temples tbe usurers went In tbe days ot old to ply their questionable Calling, and now it comes to pass that into the places made sacred by the gatherlnx Of the champions of every creed that claims a votary men with lamblike faces and nimble fingers have gone and departed with other people's property.

They bad gone to the opening unprepared for such a tremendoui rush as occurred, and were mainly those who had depended on the trains to take tbcm luto tho strip, but I ho trains were outdistanced by the hor omen and wheelmen, and they got to tbe hoart of the promised land only to find every claim pre-onipte J and every town lot (one.

Tt Is tho general belief that the bombs belonged to the Maspeth eang of anurchlsls who vero arrested last sprlnz and who were found to have manufactured bombs In an old v. biting factory In Maspeth. Fatal Result of a Practical Joke. A practical joko perpetrated on a young man named Plnyarcl, at Denton, Kan., cost him his life. Plnynrd was Induced to visit a melon patch, und It was arranged to follow tbe younx man and fire a levroiver off to scare Mm. Tho report of the plitol so frightened Plnyard that he jumped through a barbed wire fence und has since died. He Robbed the Mint. Remarkable discoveries were made In the old stono I ousc of Henry A Cochran, the man who robbed tho Philadelphia mint, at Darby. There wero many secret hiding places between walls, concealod by trick panels, but the most surprising dis

covery was tbo last, In the cellai

of the pretty home of the man who robbed the gold vault at tho mint was found a tunnel leading from tho southwest corner of the cellar to tho end of the grassy lawn overlooking Woodland ave nue, and It was Intended to servo as a means of escape for tho dishonest bullion guardian should he bo surprised while at his crucible melting the stolen gold. PANIC IN A THEATER. Material! Used in a Reallstlo Flay at Can ton, 111., Explode. Tho new Canton, III., opera house was completely destroyed by fire Tuesday even Ing and In the excited scramble of the panic-stricken audience to escape from tbe burning building one man was fatally burned and as many as twenty-five othor persons sustained burns and severe bruises as they were jouled and trampled upon. The Batdwln-Melvlllc Company presented "Michael ftrogolT." Ahout 0:30 o'clock soma fireworks used In tbo play exploded with terrific force and blazing brands were burled in all directions. Tho In flammable material surrounding tbe stage quickly Ignited and In an Incredibly short time tho building was doomed to complete destruction. Panic soiled tho audience, who wildly fled from the burn Ing building, but fortunately and most miraculously those In tho parquet, dross circle and balcony escaped serious injury. though many wore trampled under foot and seriously bruised. Tho actors were all burned, some of them quite badly. They had scarcely time lo escape them selves and lost all their belong Inns. The exploding fireworks were hurled Into the second balcony and many of the jeople there were badly burned before they could escape. The money loss Is fully 8100,000. THE PRESIDENT IS ANGRY Mr. Cleveland Getting Tired of the Delay in the Senate. Tho President Is angry, and the Senators are the cause. Mr. Cleveland, according to a Washington correspondent, believes that patience has now ceased to bo a vir tue, and that the time has arrived to settle the question physically. This will be done by a continuous session unless the anils in a very few days permit a vote In his speech at tho Centennial colebratlon thoro was a sentence tbe significance of which was lost to all but a few wltbln the sound ot his voice, As he reached tho sentence ho turned abruptly from tbe crowd In front and faced tbo Senators, ills faco was clouded and very stern as be said: "If rep resentatlves who here assemble to make laws for tbelr fellow countrymen forget the duty of broad and disinterested patriotism, and legislate lo projudlco and passion, or in behalf of sectional and selfish interests, the time when tho cornerstone of our Capitol waft laid and the circumstances surroundinr It will not be worth commemorating.'' He paused for an instant as ho finished. Those who had heard blm applauded, ftnd thoa he faced the crowd again and finished his speech, SLEW FIVE PEOPLE. Whole Family Chopped to Pieces by a Fiend Near Glendale, Ind, By far the most atrocious and sensational murder that has been committed In that section of the State took place Tuesday morning one and one-halt miles west of Glendale, Ind. It was tho slaughter of Dettnlson Wratton, a well-known farmer, and his family. consisting ot bis mother, wife and two children. Tho deed was done by somo ono who knew all about the family and know that, the women had no mean with which lo defond themselves, as the only man about the bouse was very sick and they were too far away from any neighbors to call help. No evidence that would point to tho guilty parties has yet been secured, as tho have thoroughly covered their tracks. The only weapon u?ed. it is thought, T as a hatchet, as all the gashes are very nearly alike. A pack of bloodhounds have been sconrlug the Immediate vlelnliy, but have thus fat been unable to track down th' assassins. Patterson, Ohio, Is in Ruins. At 4 o'clock Sunday morning tho flooring mill at Patterson, Harding County, Ohio, caught Bre, and before tho flames could be checked over a third of tbo town had been destroyed. Ten business blocks burned, six residences, the postofflco building and all its contents, the total loss being 60,000, with but 10,000 Insurance Housebold goods wore all destroyed and a child of John Bamer Is missing. W. 8. Streeter Arrested. W, 8, Streeter, vico president of the Insolvent Guaranty Loan Company at Minneapolis, was arrested oa a warrant sworn out by J. H. Burke, Tbo complainant charges the prisoner with having declared a dividend when tho company was Insolvent. Burke bos posed for some time as a financial reformer and has long been following up the Guaranty Loan Company. President Cannot Attend. By direction ot the President. Private Secretary Thurber has written Presidont Peck, of tho World's Fair Board of Directors, that In view of the pressure of official business it will be practically impossible for Mr. Cleveland to visit tho World's Fair on Chicago Day, Oct. 9. Fatal Explosion of an Oil Tank, By the explosion of a partly filled oil tank at Canton, Ohio, having a capacity of fifty barrels, Henry Mellke, a foreman, was almost roasted allvo and died three hours later. Eight workmen were severely bnrned at the wrought iron bridge com. pany plant Many Lives Are Lost. The town of Vllia-Canos, In tbe province of Toledo, Spain, has been devastated by floods and a large number of lives have been lost. Heavy rains hare fallen in tbe provinces, and tbo town, whlcb Is situated on rather low ground, was Inundated. Died In Their Beds. A small house In the Whltochapol dls. trlct ot London was burned the other morning. After tbe fire was extinguished a search was made of the ruins and the bodies of a man and four women were found.

A KATI0FS JUBILEE.

CELEBRATION OF THE CAPITOL'S CENTENNIAL. Anniversary ot the Laying of the Corner Stone at Washington a Memorable Event Clvlo and Military I'arntle and Patriotic SpeechesHistorical Observed with I'nmp. The contonnial nnnivoi-wiry of tho lay inn of the corner-stone of. tho Capitol was celebrated, solemnly and impressively, on tho broad plaza that stretches out from the west front, of the Capitol. Ono hundred years before, to the day and hour Washington, -!io first President of the republic, as grand master of the Free and Accepted rdor of Masons, wearing an apron and sash woven by tho wife of Lafayette, laid the foundation stone of the great marble pile that it is now tho .admiration of the world. Tho ceremonies wei o as simple as those ol Sept. 18, 171)3. and fully as impressive. Then Master Mason' Georpe Washington laid the corner stone with all the pomp and detail of the Masonic ritual. The services consisted of throe principnl features: First, a civic, military and naval pa; ado, followed by appropriate ceremonies at the Capitol, and, third, an evening entertainment in and about the Capitol, consisting of a reception or Martha Washington party in the rotunda of tho rapitol. under tho auspices of the Dames and Daughters of the American Revolution, with representatives from all tho States and Territories: an illumination of tho building and grounds, and a grand vocal and instrumental concert at the oast front of the Capitol. The program- a'; tho Capitol was as follows: Adress, President Grovor Cleveland; oration, William Wirt Henry; address, for the House of Representatives. Speaker Charles Crisp: address for tho Supreme Court of the United States, Cliief Justice Fuller; address for the District of Columbia, I'NITEl) STATES CAPITOL AT Hon. John W. Ross of tho Hoard of Commissioners. The 'corner stono of the original building, which remains undisturbed where it was laid with imposing Masonio rites by Master Mason George Washington, on the 18th of September, 1793, ia located under the Law Library, in the basement beneath tho rotunda. No record has over been found of tho impressive ceremonies attendant upon this function, and no really authentic account can bo given or tho dooks, papors, jewels, or rocords that may have beon deposited within thot stone. The building, as we now seo it, with its massive wings, noble dome and un equalled expanse of marble terrace, Dogan witn wnat mignt won oe tormou a small beginning, and has boon over a century in course of construction, and yet is not complete. The Burning nf the Capitol. During the war with Knglund was witnessed tho burning of the Capitol, August 14, 1814, ono of the most tragic events in all American history. The invaders under Gen. Ross and Admiral Cockburn, flushed with vietoryt made their way to the Capitol. Several volleys were fired through the windows and a regiment of rod coats marched upon the floor of the House of Representatives, now Statuary Hall, with fifes and- drums, playing the British Grenadiers. Tho passageway between the two wings was formed of lioards pitch pine at that. These wore torn from their places. The library of Con gress was sacked of its books and papers, which wero scattered over the floors. The great paintings adjoining tho Senate chainlier, in which the Su preme Court now sits, were cut from their frames with sabers, and the whole mass of combustible material set fire. The citizons who looked on from without with blanched faces and beating hearts suddenly beheld a mass of flamo and smoke pouring from tho windows of tho Capitol, and heard SIAT1 BOtTSE, PHILADELPHIA. IThe first National Capitol. the British shout in brutal triumph as thev watched tho llamas and sent army rockets through the roof to make air for tho lire. In a short timo the great, structure was every whei o ablaze and apparently doomed to destruction. Tho wooden corridor aud the interior work wore already a victim of the flames. Tho British waited only long enough to see their work well under way, when they left the blazing Capitol and marched up Pennsylvania av nuo to apply the torch to other public buildings. Had they waited the Capitol would have been hopelessly destroyed, but they had not been gone more than ten minutes whon a heavy rain fell, which continued all evening tin I quickly put out the lire. Hopeless as tho destruction seemed at first it was found on investigation that the foundation was : t Hiding, and Latrobo began to erect walls on it. Latrobo was succeeded by Bulfinch, the architect of tho Hoston State House, in 1817, who carried through his designs and reported their completion to ConirrcxH in 1827, i-'o far the Capitol had cost tho government $2,43.'l,814. It was not until 1850 that Congress mado provision for the addition of the Senate and House wings, its they now stand. Previous to that tl o 1 louse"! Representatives held its sei-sions in tho chamber now known as Statuary Hall, and tho Senate met in the rooin now occupied by tho Supreme Court. As tho membership of these august liodios increased with Ihe growth of the nation, the necessity for more room became apparent, and then it was that the comprehensive conception of to-day was born or brought into light. Changes were made in maiiv respects, improvements and rvmodcliugs, the present cramped lilirary-1-in 111 added, the now dome built, anil, in short, between that date and the present, with tho exception of a few months during the civil war, the process of rebuilding practically rebuilding the Capitol has been going on. The corner stono of the extensions, or th? "enlarged building," as it was d scvihed at tho time, was laid by President Fillmore, .luly 4, P-M, at which time Daniel Webster, then Si-i retaiy of Stale, delivered a characteristically grand and

'Wm Mil

1

appropriate oration. Mr. Thomas N. Walter, another Philadelphian, was selected to 1k the architect, and held the position until lKi;,r, when Mr. Kdward Clark, tho present incumbent, was appointed. No one lias over attompted to classify or characterize the stylo of architecture of this wonderful building as to place it cnioiifr any of the recognized ancient or modern types. In foot, it is composite, or rather, of itself peculiar and alone. Prof. Goldwin Smith described it "as a most majostic and imposing pile." Tho total cost of the ontiro structure tip to this writing cannot lo positively stated, but the figures given in tho appropriation bills up to recent date show that quite $2UO(l,000 have been expended upon it since its erection was begun in 17111. DIRTY, TIRED AND SORE. Iloomers Returning by Train Loads from the Cherokee Ktrlp. The story of t he rush into theCherokeo Strip of men and women seeking homes or tovn lots already has been told. That great strip of territory which Saturday morning was comparatively a wilderness by night of tho same day was covered with a hundred thousand people locating farms or ttaking out town lots. It was a stirring spoctacle, but it had al-10 its pathetic features. Thousands who mado the rush aw now returning to their homes partly bec iuso they could not get farms or town lots and partly bacauso when they got their land they wero disappointed In it. This was but natural. There was not land enough t go round, certainly far from enough good land. Still others aro stranded. They neither have tho land they hoped to got nor the money with which to got back, so that they aro in dangor of becoming a burden upon ti e new communities, where farmers can get nothing from tho land for a year to come, and where there will lie no work in tho towns. Those who succeed in returning will fare better than many of those who remain and who will find it difficult to get food and water. Southern hot winds are drying up all vegetation. Prairie fires are consuming the

WASHINGTON, KAST FRONT. gra?s. Sand storms are raging. Nearly every claim in tho strip is contested and sanguinary personal encounters aro liable to ensue. Thieves and thugs are infesting tho new towns. Tho land is anything but a Canaan. To add to the miseries and disappointments of tho rushors it is stated that those who started at tho linos with their papers found when they reached tho county seats that "soenors" in collusion with tho soldiers had arrived boforo them and grabbed everything worth having. They hud picked out the liest lots und farms, and wero already on the ground when tho people came up. This is certainly outrageous. It is a fraud which ought not to bo tolerated. RAILROADS IMMENSE BUSINESS Constant Streams of Humanity Pouring: Into Chti-aeo frmn All .Slden. At till the Chicago railroad stations a steady increase in passenger traffic was reported. Sundav tho Pennsylvania Company's Columbia express was divided into nine sections, each heavily loadod. This was an unusual occurence for tho first day of the week. This train e mes through from NewYork and Philadelphia. Monday is generally a lighter day than others ol tho week, but" Monday's arrivals were perceptibly larger at the Union depot as well as at all stations than those of a week ago. Tho St. Paul Road brought in an extra from the northwest of eighteen cars. The Northwestern Road was compelled to split ono train up into throe sections, and all others wero taxed to their utmost. The Michigan Central brought in 115 cars, averaging fifty pasfen'-ors to thecal. Two specials came from Jackson, ono of th irk on cars carrying 047 passengers. These two trains alono carried alvout I.OK) persons. Tho 3:10 train out for New York and the cost was In two sections, ono of six cars and ono of eleven. The 4:20 train out had fifteon ears. All o( thes- wero well filled. No "dead" coaches are hauled either way. The Illinois Central's Dubuque and Cairo trains were in two sections each, tho southern train especially being mi; usually heavy. The Big Four's 5:40 train came in"in three sections. Dearborn Station was filled with people as usual. One train tin the Id ie was in seven sections, ono on the Wabash in two, ono on the Monon in three, and another en the Monon in two.

THE GREAT SOUTH AMERICAN

-AND-

Stomaehrf Liver Cure The Most Astoiiishinff Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently Tieen introduced into tiiis country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of tho general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of tho general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its gTt 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 consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to uso this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strongthenor and curative is of inestimable value to tho aged and infirm, becauso 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.

NEKVOUS DISEASES As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with tho 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 insuflicicnt supply of nerve food in the blood, a ueneral 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 ia supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the 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 South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to tho cure of all forms of nervous de
