M RS. MARY LEWIS, wife of a promi
nent farmer, and well known by all
old residents near Belmont, N. Y,.
writes: “For twenty-seven years I had been
a constant sufferer from nervous prostra
tion, and paid large sums of money for doc
tors and advertised remedies without bene
fit. Three years ago my condition was
alarming; the least noise would startle and
unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, bad a
number of sinking spells and slowly grew
worse. I began using Dr. Miles’ Restorative
Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first
the medicine seemed to have no effect, but
after taking a few bottles I began to notice
a change; I rested better at night, my appe
tite began to improve and I rapidly grew
better, until now I am as nearly restored
to health as one of my age may expect- God
blessDr.Miles’Nervine."l

Will Send to Suff :rers, Three Free
Bottles of His N rwly Discovered
Remedies to Ci re Consumption

Nothing could 1 e fairer, more phil
anthropic or car v more joy to the
afflicted, than th .* generous offer of
the honored and distinguished chem
ist, T. A. Slocum. M. O., of New
York City.
He has discovered a reliable and
absolute cure for consumption, and
all bronchial, throat, lung and chest
diseases, catarrhal affections, general
decline and weakness, loss of flesh
and all conditions of wasting away;
and to make its great merits known,
will send three free bottles of his
newly discovered remedies to any af
flicted reader of the Ledger.
Already his “new scientific system
of medicine” has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless
cases.
The Doctor considers it not only
his professional, hut his religious
duty—a duty which he owes to suffer
ing humanity—to donate his infallible
cure.
He has proved the “dreaded con
sumption” to be a curable disease be
yond a doubt, in any climate, and
has on file in his American and Euro
pean laboratories tliousand of “heart
felt testimonials of gratitude” from
those benefitted and cured, in all
parts of the world.
j Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles
lead to consumption, and consump
tion, uninterrupted, means speedy
and certain death. Don’t delay until
j it is to late. Simply write T. A.
! Slocum, M. C., 08 Pine street, New
i York, giving express and postoffice
address, and the free medicine will bo
' promptly sent. Please tell the Doc-

' The most vigorous workers have spells of
“tired feelings” now and then. This feeling
is caused hy derangement, in the stomaeli,

Are You Wcakt
Weakness manifests itself in the loss of
ambition and aching bones. The blood is
watery; the tissues are wasting—the door is
being opened for disease. A liottle of Browns’
Iron Bitters taken in time will restore your
strength, soothe your nerves, make your
blood rich and red. Do you more good
than an expensive special course of medicine.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.

Ought to Receive Commendation.
[Greenville Mountatneer.l
The State board of control took
action last week upon a matter for
which they ought to receive the com
mendation of the State. True, the
Sympathetic finshands.
The sympathetic tenderness of a lov
ing husband is everything to an expec
tant mother, especially during her first
ordeal. George Layton, Esq., a promi
nent druggist of Dayton, O., gives the
following case:
A customer of mine, whose wife has used
four bottles of ■* Mother's Frien-i” before con
finement, says, after seeing the effects of the
remedy, that if she had to go through the ordeal
again, and there were but four bottles oa the
market and the cost was $100 per bottle, she
would have them.
“ Mother’s Friend ” is a scientifically
compounded liniment which affords cer
tain relief in the various ailments pre
ceding childbirth, and assures proper
elasticity to the cords and muscles in
volved in the final ordeal.

upon a petition signed by three hun

and this is the only dispensary

Several petitions have been ignored
heretofore, but the board of control
has at last listened to the voice of
the people, and we congratulate the
public upon the progress that has
been made. Other communities
might profit hy this example, and
