It is a fact that Bidgway is progressing;
to prove this we will merely mention one of
tho signs that indicate it: Meeting an old

,on his wagon, we asked hiai where he
- bought it. He said he bought it ot Service
at Bidgway. Being surprised that he
should leave a larger town and come here,
we asked him if he could not do as well at
home. lie said that it aniDlv raid him to
; come here expressly for a stove,they beingat
least ten dollars cheaper at Bidgway than
any other place, besides there was a larger
assortment to select froru. Now it seems
to us mat ir it pays outsiders to come twet-
; fy-6'e miles just to buy a stove, that it is
convincing proof of progress, and would it
,npt bp well Jor those living uearer to take
the hint and avail tbemseles of the great

If you are suffering or bave suffered,
from involuntary discharges, what effect
docs it j roduco upon your general
health 1 Do you feel weak, debilitated, ea
sily tired ? Does a littlo extra exertion
produce palpation of the heart ? Docs your

frequently get out of ordet r Is your ur:ne
sometimes thick, milky or flock y, or is it
ropy on settling 7 Or does n thick skum

bottom after it has tond awhile? Do you
havo spells of short breathing or dyspepsia?
Are your bowels constipated ? Do you have
sncus ot iiiutitir. or rusiies ol oiooa to tne
head ? Is your memory impaired ? Is

fines any little thing n;ako you start or

Is the lustre of your eve as brilliant ? The
bloom of your cheek as bright? - Do you
enjoy your-ilf in society as well ? Do you
puisne your business with the same ener

yourself? Arc your spirits dull and flag

not i:ty it to your liver or di::pepsia. Have
you re.-tless nights ? Your back, weak, and
have but little appetite, and you attribute
this to dyspepsia or Hver-cotnpluiut ?
Now, reader, self-abuse, vcneral disease

such men complain of being mcleueholy,
of nervousness, of pa'pataticu of the heart.
They are never afraid they caunot succeed
