Marblehead Mammoth Cabbage. 
There being a good deal of seed in the market 
raised from very poor stock, which must fail to 
give satisfaction, having been the original intro¬ 
ducer of the Giant Cabbage, which, when raised 
from the right strain of seed under proper culti¬ 
vation, has been grown to weigh over 60 pounds 
to a single plant, and sixty tons to the acre, X 
now offer to the public seed that has been raised 
by myself, with peculiar care, all of it from extra 
large , extra solid heads. The Marblehead Mam¬ 
moth is not only the largest, but is one of the 
most crisp and sweetest of all varieties of the 
cabbage family, as will be seen by extracts of let¬ 
ters to' be found in my Seed Catalogue, where my 
customers state that they have raised cabbages 
from my seed that have weighed 40, 45, and 50 
pounds each. Pull instructions for cultivation 
sent with every parcel of seed. Seed per pound, 
$5; per ounce, 50 cts. ; per half-ounce, 25 cts.

WHA.T IS 
HEADACHE? 
In nine cases out of ten the source of headache 
is not in the brain but in the stomach. Indigestion 
is the most frequent cause. The digestive organs 
being disordered, they derange the action of the 
liver, the bowels, the kidneys, and the nerves, 
and, the whole secretive and excretive machinery 
being as it were thrown out of gear, the brain 
suffers. Restore the natural tone of the stomach 
and bowels with a few doses of Takkant’s 
Seltzer Aperient, and headache arising from 
this cause is at once arrested. This delightful 
preparation is the best remedy for chronic and 
periodical headache at present known, and abso¬ 
lutely invaluable as a stomachic and gentle 
cathartic. SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS.

Has received the most unqualified testimony from 
physicians, matrons, and mothers of the highest 
character and responsibility in this and other 
countries. 
that this food has attained in this country (the 
sales of which aggregate as much as all other 
foods combined) is due to its intrinsic merit, con¬ 
taining as it does all the elements essential to 
growth and repair either in the infant or invalid. 
It has been demonstrated that multitudes of in¬ 
fants have been slowly starving at a period of in 
fancy when development and growth are so re¬ 
markably active because of inability of mothers 
to furnish the necessary nutriment on account of 
overtaxing the nervous system, and by prolonged 
lactation, thus lowering the standard or health in 
both.
