OUR ANCESTORS’ NERVE.

The Secret of Their Unusual Vigor Explained and How It Can He Acquired. There was something about the sturdy vigor of former generations that challenges the admiration of every man, woman, and child. They were no epicures—those ancient fath. ers. They lived simply, and successfully raei and overcame difficulties that would have discouraged this age and generation. The rigors of the frontier were supplemented by the savages, wild beasts threatened thelt enterprise, and poverty wgs a common companion. Yet they bravely encountered and resisted all those things and laid the foundations of a land.whose blessings we now enjoy. Their constitutions were stroug, their health unsutpassed, and yet they were forced to expose themselve i continually. There certainly must have been some good and adequate cause lor all this and for the physical. superiority of that age over the present. It is well known to every one conversant with the history of that time that certain home compounds of strengthening qualities were used almost universally by those pioneers. The malarial evils and exposures to which they were subjected necessitated this. When their'bodies became chilled by cold or debilitated by the damp mists of a new country 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 referred to. From among the number, all of which were compounded upon the same general princione. was found to be. more efficient and hence 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 as the basis and general formula for the present “Tippecanoe,” the name being suggested by the battle in which Gen. Harrison was engaged. The manufacturers have thoroughly Investigated this subject in its minutest details, and aro certain that for malasslmi'lation of food,dyspepsia, tired feelings,— general debility, prostrations, malarial disorders, and humors in the blood, nothing can 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 Warner’S Safe Cure, wlj.ich 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 of this preparation, which seeks to banish one of the greatest banes of the ninteenth century—-mal-ass mllation of food. Any one 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 ufford to permit such symptoms to continue. If the farmer finds that his threshing machine docs not separate the grain from the straw he realizes that some- . thiiyf is wrong and tries ..to repair the machine. When the food does not sustain the life; when it fails to make blood; when it causes the energy to depart and ambition 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 nothing will, sooner overcome these evils than “Tippecanoe,” the medicine of the past, a safe guardfor the present, and a guarantee of health for the future. The difference between snuff and plug tobacco is that snuff causes a sneeze, while the plug makes a-chow. —Texas Siftings.
