eemard for it, and it's wonderful success have induce ed
great number of persons to initiate in various ways
upwards Of fifty different mixtures have been got
up in imitation of it, which is convincing proof OF
its being medicine of great value. Some are selling
Sarsaparils and other syrups, imposing them on the
ignorant for the Panacea other, mixing the genu

out of one; thus retaining Of it, virtues others
arc using the genuine Panacca in their bottles to per-
form cures, obtain certificates to give their own

SIn-fhe present practice of your office. in regard
10 the amount OF property which, under the law of
May LIST, 1890, shall dis1uay person from recev-
ing pension is deemed to be unequal in its operation
on different classes of applicants Po correct which
inequality, the following rules will hereafter be OBJ
s,,rved:
The Object of the pension law is to provide for the
absolute wants of the poor, but nortorous soldier of
the Revolution; and the highest rate of pension is
supposed to be the smallest sum that viii afford IA;
comfortable support 10 individual. In accordance
with this principle, the following rule has bceh adop-
ted by the Department and is hereby continued VIZ:
LIST. w hon the whole property OF the applicant con-
slsts IN yearly or fixed income (such as an annuity
for life, bequest, rent charge upon lands or any
other !ncorporea right which is not convertible into
capital, ne shall not be deprived of pension unless
such yearly income exceed the full yearly pension Of
soldier.
In addition to Which, the following rules correspon.
ding IN principle, are hereby established g When
'e applicant property consists in money, stock hou-
scs fahds, or such other property he can at plea
sure convert into money or capital it shuII not do,
prlve him of the right of pension unless its yearly BRO
cceds, estimating them ut ten pen. cent OH its total
value shall be equal TO the amount Of full pension
s.. When the applicants property is mixed, and
consists OF both species, he shall not lose his pension
unless their aggregate income, estimating by tho ,,r
cedlng rules, shall amount to full yearly pension
As the Pension laws of 1919 and 1920 are not pre-
dicateu on any existing engagement of the Gov
ern1nent but were intended gratuitous provision
for the support of uged Individuals for the time be,
the two last regulations will not be considered as re-
Prospective in their operation.

regulations, III every where claim has beer, re-
