THE LEAF OUTLOOK.
W* took the occasion in oar editorial
ot August 4, to say, "KeporU f:om dif
foreol Ithmn markets agree that tbe
prise «f Im/ tobacco has very apprecia
bly improved within the last few weeks.
But we took the fcppoitunity to advise
«nr people in tnis wife, "Donot deceive
jouraelvea, however, into thinking that
thte fitful rise in tbe price of the leaf is
t* be attributed to an inoieascd demand,
•■4 that you will be ablo to sell a 'big
efop', if next year at present
_ M
pnwts
Oar ooatenipora'y, the Salisbury
Mtrald, however, has lately expressed
•a epiaion quita at variance with the
akttt. It aaya:
tobacco crop in North Carolina
•ad Virginia is abort, the crop in the
Waaler n States is almost » complete
failure. " Tobacco will bo high at
least two years on this account Far
mers will do well to prepare to plaut a
big atop next yea, and cure it well, for
good toboooo will bring a good price,
whan poor tobacco will not bring much.
Work ia tobaaco pajs better thau any
othar work."
Now to the contrary, the Soul hern
Takmec» Journal expresses the opinion
liraabaitowed by our editorial last Au
gust wiiea it say a:
"Tlx sentiment t jit prices ar
likely to rale biglifur tiuio come is vc r
l IM is our particular, provided th

plant a abort crop last spring. As sooi

Tb« caaaequence is, the farmers wli

band tar tba coming winter, and in ad
dition will get as luoeli fur tbeir tobacc
a* toey would bad a large crop bf«i

"Now lot* see wliat our friond's advic
would oause were it heeded and oarriei

far • "big crop,'* so soon will prices d
•line—long before a single plant ha
been set. Thus »c sec it would mate
nally reduce tbe farmer's income fron
tba orop already boused. A large crop
if planted—say souii'hing like the 18-1

* Tho Mount Lebanon (New;
York) Shakers arc a quiet com
munity, secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.!
Tliey r.rc widely known, Low
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business, i f>l W f !.
n Tho Shakers believe that na
ture has a remedy for every dis
eased A few have been foiuid— ;
tlie rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by aeci
dent.. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment,
and research. Ur%«v
' Nervous Dyspepsia is a com-1
paratively new disease, growing >
out of the conditions of modern ]
life. It is7l. joint affection of I
the digestive organs and of the l
nerrou3 tysteia. .7 These two
were formerly treated as sepa
late ailments,'and it was left
fur the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that tiie basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli
cation lies chiefly in the disord
ered and depraved functions of
digestion and They
reasoned thus:—"lf we can iu
dueo tho etoir.acli to do its
work, and stimulate the ex'-re
tive organs to drive out of tho
body the poisonous waste matr
tors which remain after the life-1
giving elements of the food l
have been abnorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were light.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup) in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced in
curable—with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
wero ecnniulous'y followed.
Nervous Dyspepma and Ex
haustion is a peculiarly Ameri
can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it—
both sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
so many insane asylums filled
to overflowing, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache; a dull pain at the base
of the brain; bad breath; niui
ceoua eructations; tho rising
of sour and pungent fluid* to
the throat; a 3ense of oppress
ion and faintness at the pit ol
the stomach; flatulence; wake
fulness and loss of sleep; dis
gust with food even when
weakfromthe needofit; sticky
or slimy matter on the teeth or
in the mouth, esj>ecially on ris
ing in the morning; furred am!
coated tongue; dull eyes; cold
hands and feet; constipation;
dry or rough ckin ; inability to
fix the mind on any labor call
ing for continuous attention;
and oppressive and sad fore
bodings and fears.
All tLia terrible grotm
Shaker Extract {Seigel'fl
Syrup) removes bv ite pos
itive, powerful, direct yet
painless and gentle action upon
the functions of digestion und
assimilation. Those elements
of the food tliat build up and
strengthen the system are sent
upon their mission, while all
waste matters (the ashes of life's
fire) which unremoved, poison
and kill, are expelled from the
body through tie bowels, kid
neys and skin. The weak and
prostrated nerves are quieted,
toned and fed by the purified
blood. As tho result, health,
with its enjoyments, blessings
I and power, returns to the suf
ferer who had, perhaps, aband
( oned all hope of ever seeing
another well day. jj 1 A tf»-
