He., be * came abstracted. He laid down his pen and marched to the window. He looked out, but it was doubtful. whether he saw anything.' He was thinking. ? Again the demand, j It had.come upon p. bim ; once before. He could not by . any stretch of complaisance delude himself into an opiuion that thAmarriage hod been satisfactory. The husband might have been better than ho was. Flighty,,im? pulsive, too fond of mW rjfuftfoQi .%y|)|ngbus|)ana Sfdyiee^edtftefforil in season and had taken remonstrance ill. The colonel had almost relief when the regiment was ordered for foreign service, ?though .placed the wide - sea*- de?tfben him^nnd-hjsdaT^irig. -Tfewas never- to see ; her again. Oceana?true child of the foam, atom of life to be fostered by alieas? to live through bufletings, to accept wiflu out murmur, and as if quite natural,, the passing .from hand ' to hand, until, orphaned, she found herself under, the roof of a taciturn, but doting grand? parent. , How the child became part of his being, until he began to apprehend'the . wrench it would be to part with her, and to dread the appearance of the wooer whV would seek to deprive him of his treasure. The colonel's soliloquy was almost au? dible. 1 'He shall not marry her; She can afford to wait a year or two. Time will prove him, and she w?l be in' a'Detter position to judge. She shall ee$ a little more of the world, There's her father's . -kin, they have expressed a 'wish to see more of her. They are in the world. If she goes among them, she will see some* thing of'sodety; be presented.'" tf-Wl It was what ho didjnot lite, sending her among them. - He bad "an uneasy jealous feeling,-wbat'if: over'her"they were to exercise some subtle influence, and her Tmdivided affection be no longer his. , TJn-; divided*. Matters could not be more irri? tating thou they were. The; colonel returned to his table, took up his pen, and, after a vicious, prod in the ink well, resumed his task. A tap, and the library door again opened. Oceana- again presenting herself, the scratch of the colonel's pen became moro vigorous. "You are busy yet, grandpapa?" There was disappointment. The pen was stayed. _V'What is it, Oceana?" The colonel laid "down his pen to wheel round his chair. "The post has just brought me a note from Arthur." "Well?'* The.tone was notruokind, but unenconraging. The colonel foresaw that the unwelcome argument was to be re? sumed, ;,- ;. . - Tho young girl ^advanced; approaching1: tho old man, she sank on her knees bef ore - him. . There was appeal in her eyes?im ploration. .?ml; ? "Grandpapa, Arthur will be here this afternoon. He will wisb to speak to you. You will not be out of the w?iy; you will receive him?" ; "If you wish it, eertainly.,> "Grandpapa, he wishes to ask your con? sent tobcr- cngagement-Krar marriage." "I can only say to Mm what I have said to you. Too young, too young. Marriage i& a serious matter, not to be lightly un? dertaken. What safeguard is there? He may not have sown his wild oats"--? "He may neter begin to sow them if he man-tea." The colonel almost .frowned. He was not in the mood to be amused with equivoque. "I am glad you have advised me; I shall have time to ponder, over my an? swer." "But you will not refuse?" "My dear, I must think for you. I ust be guided by what I judge will be best for your future welfare." I \ < The girl: arose from her knees,. to stand at the mantel, to toy with a bronze Indian idol. She was wounded. The old man's eyes rested upon her with, on intensity of love and admiration. She was beautiful?her face was classic,, her arm was a model for a sculptor. No, he did not wish to torture her; but to part with her?would life, so desolate, so solitary, be worth living? * "Ocy, fe it that you ore tired of living with on old man?" "No, grandpapa,?' she answered him, qtUfkly, with a tremulous lip and with an earnestness that was almost reproach. "What is it then?" he'asked her, need? lessly. "I like Arthur, very much," she fal? tered. ."Likehim?" "I love Arthur, grandpapa," her voice Arm, but her color rising. "He has said that he loves yon, I sup? pose, and it is sympathy. Here, he has hod everything his own way, with never a rival. Possibly, if you were to go out in the world, it might moke a difference; you might find yourself less certain. I -think I have been to blame, leading a se? cluded life; it has been unfair to yon. I ought to have thought of that." "I have been happy; I have never de? sired change." "You have desire now? Ah, I thought I heard wheels. Well, .1-will give the matter my most serious consideration. Why yes, it is Hartshorn and a constable, a vagrant between them." If the .colonel had any animus against any genus of man, it was the professional-j tramp. The shiftless nomad who was young and lusty had no excuse; there was the'queen to serve?under the colors, a man is fed, clothed and kept respectable. Fourteen days; it ought to be fourteen | years with such, a ope, a severe punish? ment would have a deterrent effect on the whole clan. A room that was bizarre in its adornment served as "justice room." Arms, barbarian weapons, maps, hunt whips, ? fishing rode gracing the wills, fishing tackle and garden? ing tools- the wfcnersr fitoweo" under the tables were 'croquet ?nd lawn, tennis boxes.

"The vermin ? at the cannon's mouth," returned the tramp, v enge fully, his fists clenched and denunciative. "My*wtfe, my darling! Oh,- that t had sent her home to her child!"

"!5*aChaye,xou'TJnne Jwith, your pris? oner?" the butler asked, mystified, sur? prised to see both policemen. "The colonel's let him go." "Let him go? Phew, wonders will never cease! But I haven't seen the man pass my pantry window. What can be the reason; he's so dead upon a tramp?" "An old soldier" The butler nodded sapiently. Harts? horn laughed. "An old hand," he said; "I've seen him before." . ? ? 'You don't thlnjt the colonel's done?'' "I. don't always say what I think," said Hartshorn, grasping his glass with a capacious hand.

In the village, with the colonel's-gratuity, he had been enabled to provide himself with a relay of tobacco. "Whrt larks!" ejaculated he between. whiffs. "If Sodj'er; Bfil. comes tfcitfWay.', and spins his yarn they'll be rough on him. I thought when I sneaked the bit o' paper he Was so choice of, it might come in useful. ; He said there was an old colonel about here that had been in the mutiny, and at Gawnpore when he was (puff, puff). I wish I'd another jug of the old buffer's ale, here (puff, puff). Well, Pin' dashed/ If 1 remembered to give back to the old bloke his cheese parer." The vagrant viewed the pen? knife approvingly, "it'll be a bad job if. I can't get a tanner oh it.' J The colonel returned td the library, but his granddaughter was not -there. He went to an escritoire, and, opening a drawer, took put an old fashioned case, the stamped velvet within, of ? seedy hue, the daguerreotype solarized, almost faded out But, though the portrait was so shadowy, the face was visible to the" colonel, as clearly as on the day when it gave him pleasure to receive it. "My poor murdered darling!" he mur? mured, with a sob. He sat, the portrait in his hand, oblivi? ous of the passing hours. He heard noth? ing, not the tap on the door; he did not hear Oceana open it, or see her when she entered the room. "Grandpapa?" ejaculated she softly. "Yes, child." He closed the case gently, to hurriedly restore it to its drawer. "Did you not hear the gong?" "No. I?the Tact is, I have been a little abstracted." "Ambler tells me yon. have allowed the poor man to go. How good Of you I'' "He was an old soldier, Oceana. He? was* at Cawnpore"?? The colonel's voice had a hush in it. He rose to his feet; he felt them a little unsteady, him? self a little giddy. But he quickly recov? ered himself. : Oceana was observant; she was anx? ious. X "It -has upset you, grandpapa; these cases trouble you.- I-would not attend so regularly. Let Hartshorn go elsewhere.'' ?Yes, I think so; he shall. I think I will rest more." Oceana could not recall a luncheon so dull. If the colonel was not a humorist, he attempted humor, and he talked of something, or drew out Mrs. Manx. But this day he was preoccupied, his face sad. The colonel rose from tie table, Mrs, Maux following suit, .to pass through the door the - colonel held open. But Oceans etlll sat in a reverie, to become concclou? that her grandfather was lingering. "Grandpapa, Arthur .will be here shortly. W?lhe find,a r\ in.th'e library?" She did riW wife her be ,i.-. ? . "Do riot be ?nxfeu? obiW^ bet 'grand? father sarai'6ympatbettbally,'"l shalt'not be hard. I could not be hard with any? one today." Still he lingered.

The discoverer is Dr. Kolischer, a young opera? tor in the clinical department of Professor Albert. -.Dh KoliScber," starting oh Hie assumption that tuberculosis occasionally heals naturally, owing to the tubercles becoming calcined, hit upon the idea of causing artificial calcination by means of hypodermic injections of a compound de? scribed as "calcium phosphoricum" into the limbs of persons affected with local tuberculosis. He made a number of ex periments with a view of testing his dis? covery, and in every case the experiments turned.out successful. At the last meet? ing" of the Vienna Society of Physicians Dr. Kolischer read a paper on the result of his experiments, and introduced to the meeting several persons who had been cured' by his method. He is about to carry his experiments further byjnaking. ? similar experiments upon persons suffer? ing frojn^ tuberculosis of the Jungs.?Lon idqn Chronicle. :, 2 i?i-.-1? Under the World's Heel. How pathetic are the instances of men who arenot only in misfortune, and who have lost all they.once dield, put whose,-* v?ry ntpipsjare Efcfggtten. I .remember 'there was a conductor on the Eighth Ave-' nue railroad, who ran his car between the hours of 11 in tho night and 11 the fol? lowing morning. He was a subject of ? so much talk among the night editors of the morning papers who rode upon his ; line that I once went over at tho request j of one of them one night just to see him. ' > He was as. fine and aristocratic a looking m?h as I have ever seen. No one ever found out his history, for ho could not be drawn into conversation. He did his work in a quiet and respectful way for a year, and then disappeared, nobody knows where. In a like manner I have seen porters in big dry goods houses, clerks and men in almost every lowly walk of life, whose faces indicated a history that was unmistakably pathetic The waifs of the street, the children of the gutters,, the unhappy little ones in boarding houses ana the outcasts of the slums are-more'to be envied than the j gentle, courteous and dependent old men who have been forced under by the iron heel of a world that thunders along at, a breakneck pace, arid from which {hey try to shield themselves by a gentleness that tho rushing world has not time to see.? Blakely Hall in The Argonaut. Two Million Glass Eyes. A German paper makes the astounding statement that more than 2,000,000 glass eyes are made every year in Germany and Switzerland, while one French house manufactures 300,000 of them annually. The pupil is made of colored glass, and sometimes red lines are painted on the inner surface, to simulate the veins. The largest number of these eyes are bought by laborers, who are exposed to fire and aro consequently b'able to lose an eye. An artificial eye rarely lasts more than five years, as the secretions of the lach? rymal glands cloud the surface of the glass. Dr. Magnus, has pointed out that the expression of the eyes is almost solely due to the movements of the upper eye Eds; and that is the reason' that we may see; a-man with a glass eye a hundred times before wo discover his infirmity.?

Here we ha ve philosophy, strikingly taught in fable. The three ' boons conferred by the saint naturally tended to develop self in? dulgence and indolence?a state of things which would make the people an easy prey to the designs of greedy statecraft.

In the sunny clime Btretching along the Medi? terranean coast from Barcelona to Cadiz, the poor can live on a trifle. Theiri clotliing is light and cheap; their open air existence requires but little shelter, and a meal or two per day Of. grapes, bananas, rice and common vegetables, with a small portion of inexpensive claret, with which. the country abounds, amply satisfies their wants. The wealthy and more intelligent classes, as a rule, luxuriating amidst "the-happy physical conditions by which they are surrounded, have no motive to trouble themselves about politics so long as the taxes de? manded by the government are not op? pressive. The result is that political parties are masters of the situation, and are allowed to fight each other and rob the treasury in succession,>without seriously calling forth any such ?ridespread and organized public indignation-' as would be aroused against maladministration if it should ocCjUr und^r similar provocation in coun? tries whose eW el^ire?less propitious, and. whose soil WiE.giflyryieId crops of severe labor.- .

In North? ampton the entrance of a bee into a cot? tage is deemed a certain sign of death, and if a swarm of bees alight on a dead tree or a dead branch of a tree, there will be death within a year. In York? shire there is'a custom Of inviting bees to the funeral. These were doubtless originated-' #cdn lan-observation of the fact that bees are attracted by the scent of fresh varniBh, working on superstitious minds. It is said by some that bees will never dive. in a quarrelsome family. What C bleaert g if among beekeepers such an idea would quell all ? rising feelings of difference in the family; Some think they will not thrive if stolen, while in other places it is consid? ered unlucky to purchase bees; that the onl/ ivay to get them is to have them given, catch a wild swarm, or to steal them. Acting on this silly superstition, we have known good people to go to a neighbor'6 house, take a hive, of bees without his knowledge, and leave in pay? ment ..some, other goods, thinking that "ill luck" would follow them if money be paid. In this superstition there is a shade{of truth. Among such people bees are^gqt?fiom! their nearest neighbors in summer, when bees 'are flying' freely, and carried quietly home. Of course the old bees return to the old stand the next day, and the removed hive is "unlucky," ?because weak in bees for some time until it can recuperate. If the colony has already swarmed, as is often the case, the remaining bees are too few to build it up in a good swarm that season. The observation of results without a knowl? edge of the cause or the method of pre? venting it gave rise to the superstition in minds already inclined thereto. The Geor gicsof Virgil contain common supersti? tions at that early period. This writer, with others, attributes the virtue^bf "tanging" to attract bees to qualities .implanted in them by Jupiter that distinguish them from solitary bees and other insects.? Rev. J. W. Shearer in Beekeepers' Mag? azine. Human Beings Turned into Trees. The principal part played by tree* in popular mythology is in connection -with transformation scenes, there being obvi? ously no greater difficulty in conceiving the sudden conversion of a human being into a tree than, into a rock or a star. In the Tyrol you may still see an Alpine rose which sprang from the blood of a girl who in the defense of her innocence lost her life. Then there is an Austrian tale of a girl whom, for falling in love with a soldier, her mother cursed into a maple tree; her body became rough, her skin turned to bark, her hands to branches and her hair to leaves. Near Nuremberg are three trees which were originally maidens who decoyed strangers to a wood and there robbed and mur? dered them; they were at last struck by lightning and turned into trees, and their cries may still sometimes be heard after the evening's bells have ceased to ring. In a certain state of culture there is nothing incredible in this kind of occur? rence, i \ I* j All through the middle ages stories of conversion .into trees abound. An Al? satian girl, praying constantly to the Virgin that she'may remain unmarried, is turned into a limo tree which stands near a church dedicated to the Virgin. Or, again, Charlemagne, having de? feated and slaughtered a number of Sara? cens, wishes to bury both friends and foes, yetto seiiarnto?the Christians from tho infidels", *in*his perplexity he prays earnestly one night, and the next morn? ing lxmolds the body of the enemy changed'info thorn trew.?Gentleman's Magazine. The Clover Neapolitans, A friend of ours residing in Naples brought with him nn excellent Capri cook who had answered every purposo at Sorrento; but ho was found to be quito useless in Naples because he was always l>eing "done" in his marketing.

In England that institution cnTled tlio drawing room Has in it about as much rationality as may be foithd iii tiny fat hi of .fetich w?r'ship' among the savages of Africa. In the piercing east winds of March hundreds of delicate young, girls, of middle aged ladles, and tottering old dowagers bare their arms and necks half way to the waist, put on trains to which the peacock's is a dusty joke, aud set out in broad daybght to spend an hour or so - in their carriages; waiting their turn for presentation or simple attendance.

They press close, fmtteningt;tbe^rioses against.the gloss, making brutal."remarks and passing round little jokes.' The show is for them as well as-for- the immediate actors, and they are not minded to lose the benefit of it. The pretty young girls have to run tho gauntlet of an admiration that is more offensive .than flattering. The plain bnes hear a few unvarnished words which moke no pretense of gilding. The stout old ladies with their quivering acres of flesh displayed according to the rules, and -the thin quinquagenarians, bronchitic,. nervous, anaemic, ore saluted with derision ond criticised without mercy. Only thot certain kind of opulent beau? ty, which is radiant witb health apd des? titute of nerves, enjoys the;admiration, which to others sounds more like insults than praise; and this kind sits well for? ward in the carriage, with a white hand and arm and.polished shoulder generously ' displayed; find the roughs are not un? grateful. This is the first of the clay's ordeals to be gone through by those who attend the drawing rooms on their own account or to present their daughters, as o kind of fetichistic dedication on their in? troduction to society ond the marriage market. Within tho palace tho crush is even more painful than has been the slow transit, semi nude, in broad daylight, in a biting wind and through the gross tongued crowd. A well dressed mob strives for front places and first moments as stren? uously as its ragged brethren in the streets. Its language is more choice-, and its fists are not so free; but its elbows are as sharp, ond it knows how to use them; while pretty feet, daintily cased in silken stockings and satin shoes, prove that high heels ore by no means inefficient pestles. There have been o!raw^ng rooms where tho struggle has been'severe indeed, so that the floor has been strewn with flow? ers ond ribbons and jewels, as the wrecks and spoils of battle; and whence the fair flesh of the sweet faced combatants has carried away,.scratches and bruises as tokens of thtfeontest. And oil for what i To pass, in one rapid moment, before the queen and her court, standing in a semi? circle a little behind her pirate ond mo? tto) ss as so many wax figures at Madame Tussaud's. There is no* kindly conversa? tion, no"pleasant speeches, as.in the eveu ing receptions in Italy, say, where the queen receives the same as any other lady, and her dignity as queen ' enhances her sweetness as hostess. It is 0 mere lifeless form, out of which every fragment of hu? manity aud common sense., has been ab? stracted.

The habit of taking off the hat while talking to ladles is falling into disuse; thot is, tho uncovering ih public places like tho post office, elevator, theater lobby, expo? sition, etc. Tho reason is found in the in? creased practicalness of the age. Men do not fancy sacrificing their good looks for the sake of gallantry, and that's what they would do nine times out of ten should they doff in a hurry. They would reveal a mussed up head of hair (for how long will a man's hair look nice?j or, in these days of baldness, a shining pate. So, by keep? ing on his cephalic covering, he doesn't have to grasp either horn of the dilemma. And then another fact that weighs heavily, too, is the presence of women everywhere now, in oil the busy places where once women were never seen. In shop, factory, store, they are employed to such an extent that it is difficult to give to the sex that chivalrous attention which once was accorded them because of the infrcquency of their public appearance.?

That it has been seen so bttle in public places of late years is perhaps as marked a tribute to the strength of fashion's hand as to the culti? vation of good taste among all grades of people. Savages, as we have said, have been known to part with all they had, even to their children, for tinsel gewgaws and cheap jewelry. Bunko men say that in going through the country to swindle and cheat people out of money, nothing so tickles tho senses and rouses the desire of possession in the majority of peoplo like cheap jewelry.

Editors Constitution: On behalf of the management of the Inter State Farmers' Summer Encampment, to be held at this place August 2d to Oth proximo, the writer desires to give a few points of in? formation to the people of Atlanta and of Georgia in regard to this enterprise. 1. They desire it distinctly understood that this encampment is not local in its management or in its alms. It is the property of, and is under the direct man? agement of, an inter State board, com? posed of five commissioners from each State of the five States of Georgia, Ala? bama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, appointed by the Patrons of Husbandry of said States. This place was selected as the location, because of its central position with regard to the five States interested. . 2. This encampment of farmcs is not a thing of one year only; but it is to be permanent, having been established by the committee for a period of at least twenty years. Thus any party erecting a building on the grounds has a place of his own for twenty years. 3. The encampment ground* are abun dant for a'l purposes, lying immediately on the line of the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line Eailroad, one mile West of Sparenburg. The railroad has abun? dant accommodations in the way of side tracks and depnta, and a lr>ng side track will penetrate the grounds for the deliv? ery of heavy articles and machinery. Wooden buildings are already built all over the grounds for exhibitions, private displays, horse and cattle pens and stalls, eating bouses, and many others are con? tracted for. The State of South Carolina has erected a very neat and strong build? ing for State purposes, and it will be the great effort on the part of the entire management to induce Geori*ia (the State, I mean) to erect a similar building alongside of South Carolina's. The same effort is to be made with regard to the other States, and we predict that in the very near future each one of the five States will make an annual exhibit under the direction of its agricultural depart? ment. The managers have reserved the most desirable sites on the grounds for these State buildings, and the sites will be deeded free of any cost whatever to each State. So that at a cost of not more than ?1,000 Georgia con have a building erected, and the property will remain her own and at an annual outlay of two or three hundred can make an exhibit that will and ought to compete with her sister States. Georgia's Governor and Commissioner of Agriculture and Master of State Urange, and other prominent farmers will occupy prominent places on the programme of speakers at the com? mencing session of the encampment. 3. The cost of this encampment to ex? hibitors and to visitors is phenomenally small. All exh. jits will be transported by the railroaas free of charge both ways. Excursion rates to visitors will be given. The charge for space is very small, being regulated by the value of articles exhib? ited. There is no charge whatever for farm and household products, fancy arti? cles, etc., not for sale. 5. The military feature of this encamp? ment will be an important one. Suita? ble grounds are reserved for companies desiring to go into camp. Many com? panies have already made their arrange? ments to go into camp here in August. The Adjutant General of South Carolina has ordered one regiment to encamp at this time and place, and companies in other regiments are coming. It is ex? pected there will be at least 500 soldiers encamped on the grounds during the week. 6. Remember, this encampment will be open just at the time and directly in the line of the summer travel from the lower parts of Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina, and from Florida. Thousands of people will make their plans to stop at this great agricultural show on their way to mountain reports and springs. The mauagers are sure of large crowds of people and are preparing for them. It is sure that manufactures from Atlanta could not possibly make a safer hit than to be represented at this exhibition. 7. One of the permunent and most substantial benefits to tbu farmers of the States is the location of the South Caro? lina experimental station, under the management of the Slate Board of Agri? culture. This farm of 200 acres is in 200 yards of the encampment grounds. This experimental farm will bo in its glory, as to maturity of crops and tho practical evidence of crops, just at the very time the encampment is in session and every farmer visiting the encamp? ment will have the additional advantage of personally inspecting the experiments under the supervision of the manager of said farm. This alone is worth the ex? pense of the whole trip to any farmer, Thus, Mr. Editor, tho writer1 has en? deavored briefly to give to you and your readers a few points of information in regard to the object and aims of this great enterprise. Georgia and Atlanta are interested in it, if tbey still profess to claim the Piedmont region as pecu? liarly their own territory. Any information concerning the en? campment can be had by application to Mr. Warren Du Pre, local secretary, Spartanburg, S. C. We hope to see At? lanta well represented. C. H. Carlisle. Excommunication. New YoitK, July 9.?The Catholic News to morrow will have the folllowing: To the very Reverend clergy and faith? ful laity of the Archdiocese of New York: "Be it known that on the 4th day of Muy, 1887, the sacred congregation of the propaganda admonished Rev. Dr. McGlynn, late Rector of St. Stephen's Church in this city, that he had already rendered himself liable to ecclesiastical censure by the disobedience of the posi? tive command of the Sovereign Pontiff, given January 17. Wishing, however, to deal- leniently with him, the sacred congregation refrains from inflicting cen? sure, and offering him further opportunity to be heard in his own behalf, gave him a final and peremptory order to present himself in Rome within forty days from the receipt of the letter containing such an order, under pain of excommunica? tion, to be incurred ipso facto et nomina tim. This letter was duly delivered to Rev. Dr. McGlynn, and as he allowed the days of grace to pass unheeded, it became our Bad duty to notify him that be bad incurred by bis own act this penalty of excommunication by name, whereby he is cut off from the communion of the church ; from its sacraments and partici? pation in its prayers; and, should he persevere in coutumacy, deprived of the right after death of Christian burial. It has become also nur duty to declare to the clergy and laity of our charge, which we do by these letters, that the Rev. Dr. Edward McGlyuu is excommunicated nnmiuatim, with all the penalties attach? ed to this censure by the canons of the church. (Signed) MICHAEL AUGUSTIXF, Archbishop of New York. O. E.

Lebanon Shakera Found?Incident in the His? tory of a Quiet Community. The Mount Lebanon (New York) Shakers are a quiet com? munity, secluded from the fret and wony of the outside world. They are widely known, how? ever, for their strict honor and probity in business. The Shakers believe that na? ture lias a remedy for every dis? ease. A few have been found? the rest are as yet unknown. Many were discovered by acci? dent. Others came to light as the resii 11 of patient exneriment and research. Nervous Dyspepsia is a com? paratively neu; disease, growing out of tlx; conditions of modern life. It is a joint affection of the digestive organs and of the nervo;i-j system. These two were formerly treated as sepa? rate ailments, and it was left for the clear-sighted Shakera to prove that the basis of this terrible and often fatal compli? cation lies chiefly in the disord? ered and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition. They reasoned thus:?"If we can in? duce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate the excre? tive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mat? ters which remain after the life giving elements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dys? pepsia and Nervous Exhaust? ion. And they were right. Knowing the infallible power of Shaker Extract (Seigel's Syrup) in less complicated though similar diseases, they resolved to test it fully in this. To leave no ground for doubt they prescribed the remedy in hundreds of cases which had been pronounced in? curable?with perfect success in every instance where their directions as to living and diet were scrupulously followed. Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex? haustion is a peculiarly Ameri? can disease. To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer from it? both sexes and all ages. In no country in the world are there so many insane asylums filled to overflowing, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its leading symptoms are these: Frequent or continual head? ache; a dull pain at the base of the brain; bad breath; naa-> seous eructations; the rising of sour and pungent fluids tq the throat; a sense of oppresi* ion and faintness at the pit of the stomach; flatulence; wake fulness and loss of sleep; dis? gust with food even when weak from the need of it; sticky or slimy matter on the teeth or in the mouth, especially on ris? ing in the morning; furred and coated tongue; dull eyes; cold hands and feet; constipation; dry or rough skin; inability to fix the mind on any labor call? ing for continuous attention; and oppressive and sad fore? bodings and fears. All this terrible - f*roup Shaker Extract; (Seigel's Syrup) removes by its pos? itive, powerful, direct yet painless and gentle action upon the functions of digestion and assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system are sent upon their mission, while all waste matters (the ashes of life's fire) which unremoved, poison and kill, are expelled from the body through the bowrels, kid? neys and skin. The weak and prostrated nerves are quieted, toned and fed by the purified blood. As the result, health, with its enjoyments, blessings and power, returns to the suf? ferer who had, perhaps, aband? oned all hope of ever seeing another well day. JOHN E. PEOPLES & CO.
