At the request ©f several country people who are unable to be present at the recital of M. Gerardy this evening, efforts are being made to induce the celebrated virtuoso to give a second performance to take placa on Tuesday evening.

That the child is father to the man," physically as well as mentally, is one of those troths that can never be too often insisted upon, and the thoughtful parent will be careful above all to see that her child bas the proper nourishment to establish its constitution. A good constitution is a rock on which alone success and strength can be built. Among the various foods that science commends in these days for this purpose, none holds a j higher place than Nbavks Food fob In- j f\nte And Invalids. Vccording to tne best me lical testimony, an'), what ia perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of happy mothers, this food containt all the essential elements of strength, ani while it is pleasant to the taste aid eagerly taken by children, it may alsi b« used by persons of all ages with decided benefit. It i a a bone-building, health-sus-taining product that cannot be t"o warmly recommended and wo gladly add oar words of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts tha* have recommended it. Nkavh's Food should have a prominent place in the diotary of every house whero there are children or iovalids.—Advt.
