Loss of Vitality Known to be the Parent of this Dread ‘ Disease-The Method of Cure th: t Has Proved Most Successful. c From Che Republican, Scranton, Penna. t The most common of nil human ailments j is deranged ib/estiun: the most aggravating j disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In ! sidious in its nature, varied in its forms it tortures its victims, baffles the skill of phy sicians and the power of medicine. The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack of vitality: the absence of nerve force; the loss us the life-sustaining elements of the blood. It is a truism that no organ can properly perform its function when the source of nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one hand and over-taxed on tha other. When the stomach is robbed of the nourishment demanded by nature, assimilation ceasesun natural gases are generated, the entire sys tem responds to the discord. A practical illustration of the symptoms and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the case of Joseph T. A andyke, 440 Hickory St., Scranton, l‘a. In telling his story Mr. Vandyke says : “Five years I wns afflicted with a trouble of the stomach, which was very aggravating. I had no appetite, could not enjov myself at any time, and especially was the trouble severe when I awoke in the morning. I did not know what the ailment was, but it became steadily worse and 1 was . in constant misery. “I called in my family physician, and he , diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach., He prescribed for me and I had his prescrip- , tlon filled. I took nearlv all of the medi cine, but still the trouble became worse, ’ and I felt that my condition was hopeless.

After I had been suffering several months, and had secured I no relief from any of the many remedies ] which I had taken, a friend of mine, by the name of Thomas (.'ampbell, also a resident of this city, urged me to try Dr. AVilliams’ < Pink Pills" for Pale People. I told him il would be a useless waste of money to buy them, as I was convinced that nothing could i do me any good. “I was finally persuaded to buy a box and began to use the pills according to directions. Before I had taken tha second box I began to feel relieved, and after taking a few more boxes J considered myselt re stored to health. The pills gave me new life, strength, ambition and happiness.’ An unfailing specific is found in Pr. At il -1 jams’Pink Pills for Pale People for such I diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St A itus’dance, sciatica, neuralgia rheuma tism nervous headache, the after eflect of la trrippe palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, that tired feeling result ing from nervous prostration, all diseases re sulting from vitiated humors in the blood, such ns scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities I and all forms of weakness. In men they effect 1 a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever I nature. These pills are manufactured by the I Dr. AVilliams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, 1 N Y and are sold only in boxes bearing the l firm’s’trade-mark and wrapper at 50 cents a i box or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold in bulk.

I dituß : Some year- ago I took an t idea that land was the safest investment i that a man could m ike in Georgia, and as j a consequence, lam now land poor; have ‘ more than I can profitably make use of, ’ and consequently want to get rid of some, ' or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best lor j cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost rne over $3,000 to i build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre-saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 t r another, according to his ability to psy for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee <>f gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a i iir chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their nt >ney, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost. The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to market gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a tine opportunity lor a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best ■: pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low. The titles to the land have been in the posses sion ot one or two parties t >r years, and have never been questioned and are as good as gold. lam rot particularly wcddel to this plan of getting rid of m v lands, but only Bit 'gest the idea—any better plan would j ba thankfully substituted. 8.
