A Groat Feature.
The Chicago Exhibition is going to be
notable chiefly for its "features." Those
features are eharaateristia of the people
whose celebration it ie, a people noted
for its inventive genius, and for its
singular mixture of iconoclasm with
veneration for things sacred and historic!.
No one cares ao much for bile relics of the
past as does rho American, but his interest
generally takes the forte of whittling or
plundering them. No one sets so much
store hyrank and title, and yet shows these
so little respect. There is no historic shrine
that has not been thought of for a feature.
The Columbus ship, Shakespeare's house,
John Brown's fort, the Libby prison, even
rho Coliseum, declared by the oroole to be
the talisman on whose continuance whore
it is depends the continuance of the Eternal
City, have all been selected as features, and
501110 of them are to be there. In fact, the
United States will have to do up her Amer-
ican shrine worship this year, as henceforth
some of her centres of pilgrimage will be no
more. She will still have Bunker 1ii11,

It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk.
This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced
into this country by the'iroprietors and manufacturers of the Great
South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative
ngent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians„
who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the
general public.
This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system, It is
also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of Gelling health from,
whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities
which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive'
organs, the stomach, tho livor and the bowels. No remedy compares,
with this wonderfully valuable Norvino Tonic as a builder and strength-
ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a
broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in.
the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption,
remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nerv-
ousness of females of all ages. Ladies who aro approaching the critical
period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine
Tonic, almost constantly., for the space of two or three year's. It will
parry them safely over the danger, This great strengthener and cura-
tive is of inestimable value to the aged and infirrn, because its great
energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten
or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has beers
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most:
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges-
tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is 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 nerves recover. 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 con
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. , F
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied..
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-
rangement.
