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, however, at least we have not yet heard of any adequate scheme for carrying that to the aity whore it would have no other hisborio hills to float it.

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.
