j sas City. He lectured at the African

Methodist Episcopal Church on 1 Ho emigration to Africa of American negroes. He told his people that In America a nogro may lo a citizen of a State, but he is not a citizen of tho United Stat os. As long us he slays with the white man and bears tppi ession, he must bo at the best a menial, but if tho negro possesses the ability which lie believes ho does, ho should found a nation of his own, and have his own institutions. Liberia is a small country, and by no moans a strong one, ho said; but it has a government of its own that Is roeosnUod, and a Llberian negro has rights which are respected In this country, whero the rights of an American-born negro are trampled upon.

StomaehtLiver Cure The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of tho Last On Hundred Years. It Is Pleasant to tho Taste as the Sweetest Noctar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful NovvinG Tonio has only recently been introduced Into this country by tho proprietors and manufacturers of tho 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 havo not brought its merits and value to tho knowledge of tho general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of tho cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of tho general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value iu the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by tho great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its gr'',-t curative powers upon tho digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonio as a builder and strcngthener of the lifo 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 tho lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent It is a marvelous euro for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, fur 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 now 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 tho remedy each year.

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 ell'ects upon the youngest child or the oldest aud most delicate individual. Ni!:e tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insuflieient 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 rijht kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As tho nervous system must supply all tho power by which tho vital forces of tho body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of tho 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 ia formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the euro of all forms of nervous de
