OUR ANCESTORS' NERVE.

The Secret of Their Uinioal Vigor Explained and Hew It Can Be Acquired. There was somethin* about the sturdy vigor of former generation* that challenge* the admiration of every man, woman, and child. They were no epicure*—those ancient fath. ere. They lived simply, and successfully met and overcame difficulties that would have discouraged this age and generation. The rigors of the frontier were supplemented by the savages, wild beasts threatened their enterprise, and poverty was a oomraon companion. Yet they bravely encountered and resisted all thoso things and laid the foundations of a land whose blessings we how enjoy. Their constitutions were strong, their health unsurpassed, and yet they were forced to expose themselves continually. There certainly must have been some good and adequate cause for all this and for the physical superiority of that age over the present. It is well known to every one oonversant with the history of that time that certain home compounds of strengthening qualities were used almost universally by those pioneers. The malarial evils and exposure! to which they were subjected necessitated this. When their bodies became chilled by cold or debilitated by the damp mists of a new oountry they were forced to counteract it by the use of antidotes. Medicines were few in those days, and doctors almost unknown. Hence the preparations above re f erted to. From among the number, all of which were compounded upon the same general principle, one wns found to be more efficient and benfce far more popular than all the rest. It was well known through the Middle and Western States, and was acknowledged as the best preparation for malarial disorders and general debility then known. The recipe for compounding this valuable article was handed down from one family and generation to another, was known to the Harrison family, and is used aa the'basis and general formula for the present “Tippecanoe,” the name being suggested by the battle in whioh Gen. Harrison was engaged. The manufacturers have thoroughly Investigated this subject in its minutest details, and are certain that for assimilation of food, dyspepsia, tired feelings, general debility, prostrations, malarial disorders, and humors In the blood, nothing can exceed in value “Tippecanoe,” which was the medicine of our forefathers and seems destined to be the most popular preparation of the day. “Tippecanoe” is prepared and given to the public by Messrs. H. H. Warner* Co., of Rochester, N. Y., proprietors of the famous W arner' s Safe Cure, which is now the most extensively used of any American medicine. The wellknown standing of this house is a sufficient guarantee of the purity and power or this preparation, which soeks to banish one of the greatest banes of the ninteenth century—-mal-ass mllation of food. Any ono who experiences trouble of digestion; who feels less vigor than formerly; whose system has unquestionably “ run down, ” and who realizes the necessity of some strengthening tonic, cannot afford to permit such symptoms to continue. If the farmer finds that his threshing machine does not separate the grain from tho straw he realizes that something is wrong and tries to repair the machine. When the food does not sustain the life; when it fails to make blood; whon it causes the energy to depart and ambttlou to die, it is a certain sign that something is wrong and that the human machine needs repairing. it is not a question of choice; it is a matter of duty. You must attend to your health or your sickness, and nothifig will sooner overcome these evils than “Tippecanoe,” the medicine of the past, a safe guard for the present, and a guarantee of health for the future.
