A Raleigh, N. C., dispatch of Friday
says: There is much condemnation of
the late legislature for the passage of an
act requiring the use in all public schools
of text books on the effects of alcoholic
drinks and narcotics, this condemnation

requires one-fourth of the contents of
such tcxt’books to be on this subject, and

requirements are owned by the
American Company, which is a trust.
Dispatches of Friday, from Catlett9
burg, Ky., reports that trouble is brew¬
ing between Italian laborers employed by

works. A wagon driver named Wood¬
ward, on Tuesday last, turned on his tor¬
mentors and killed an unknown Italiau.

He sought refuge with the civil authori¬
ties, who refused to hold him, as the kill¬
ing is considered justifiable.

ings, Upon the motion, which alleges

Another dispatch received Wednesday
from Boston, Mass., says: William

his daughter was assaulted by an Italian
mob in Florence, is an electrician of the
American Bell Telephone Company and
well known in Boston and principal
cities of this country. He sailed from
New York for Eogland and tho conti¬
nent about a month since for pleasure
and intended to be absent about five or
six months. He was accompanied by
his wife and two children, both daugh¬
ters; one about eight and the other ten
years old. Mr. Jacques very seldom ex¬
presses any opinion concerning public
matters, and his friends are entirely at a
loss to understand how such a man could
become the victim of a mob. He is a
highly cultured gentleman and was for¬
merly a professor at Johns Hopkins uni¬
versity at Baltimore.

As a curs for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able
to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless iu

dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an,
insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of
the brain, spinal marrow and nerves i3 the result. Starved nerves, like
starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and
a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nervesrecover. As the
nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the
body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition.
Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment
d scessary to repair the wear our present mode ot living and labor impose*
upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be
supplied. This recent production of the South A merican Continent has been
found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue
is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous

every medicine I could hear of but nothing
done me any appreciable good until I was ad¬
vised to try vour Great South American Nervina
Tonic and Stomach and Liver Cure, and since
using several bottles of it I must say that I am
surprised at its wonderful powers to cure the
