REMARKABLE CURE OF HIP DISEASE.

New York, July Goth, 1913.
MeSsrs. SANps-Gcnt. Ally daughter, aged
six years, was attacked with the hip disease when
two years old, and since then she has been grow
ing gradually worse uuti recently aud her suffer-
| ing at intervals was most'paniul to behold, and
battles all description. The head of The hip bone
was thrown entirely out place, after which mat
ter or puss formed in the socket Of the joint, and
for many months in succession she was entirely
deprived OF all natural rest she was reduced TO
mere skeleton aud very often exclaimed, "Oh,
mother wish it might please the good Man
above to take me TO himself 1t was my !eryent
prayer her suiIerings might be terminated and my
anxious Sears removed.
The Almighty has promised to be with us in
six troubles, and in the seventh he will no, leave
us nor iorsake US, if we put our trust and conf
dencc in Him; and truly can say it has been
verified in the present case Through His bless
ing and your instrumcntaIty, my child livcs-yes,
Is restored to perfect health, and is living monu-
mcnt OF the efficacy Of your heolth-res,orlng Sar-
saparia We had tried all the remedies within
our reach, had the hone once set, had ii blistercd
and purged, without effect. she commenced the
use of the SarsapaIilla in April last, and in less
than week there was an evident improvement:
discharge came out from the hip joint, and in a
few days it commenced healing and in less than
two weeks was entirely closed. during the ume
of using the Sarsaparilla she passed large quant-
ties Of Worms, which aided materially in hasten
ing the cure. She rapidly improved in health aud
strength, her appetite increased, and she is now
entirely restored, and wholly so 10y the use of your
Sarsapara. With the grateful feelings Of mo-

league, Mr. Young.
Mr. McRoberls said:
II wish 10 call the attention OF the
Senate TO The present amendment. II
imposes no obligation upon any State,
bu. simply provides that so much oil
any ordinance Of Congress. as ex-
empls land from .axolion for fre gears
from the sale shall be repealed, as to
future entries Of land, as shall by leg
islalive enactment agree thereto. :
We offer this to the consideration
OF the Gazette, with the advice thrt II
should hereafter, reason more and pld.
die less.
We can here tell the Gazette, that so
long as the distribution act remains in
force, we shall advocate without fear
or hesitation, such ordinances OF Con.
gress. So long as Is per cen. of the
nett proceeds Of the public lands sold
within her limits, are granted to the
State of Iowa in expectancy to make
good the consequent, decrease Of her
revenue, we shall oppose all efforts,
lie. them come from whom they may,
to tax the land for five years after their
entry. We shall be the { asl friend of
that ordinance of Congress, SO far at
least as Iowa is concerned, because The
Is per cent will cover all deficiency in
revenue. No new State, even with
the gran. Of per cent, ever complain
ed of it, until wild and visionary
schemes of internal improvement had
crushed their energies, and it became
necessary to bur,hen the people with
taxation, TO pay the cost and extrava-
gance. Illinois never attacked it until
she was stricken down with $l30OO,-
600 of public debt. |, is jus. and
equitable for the States to receive the
bounty Of the General Government,

In short, we undertake to say. plain
ly and unequivocally, tina, there is not
IN eristence an "ordlnance" such as
the democrats in Congress are charged
with making an effort to repeal, viz:
"exemp,ing the settlers land from
taxation for five years after purchase,
Gazette, April 18Th.
We alluded in our last paper, for the
second time, 10 an amendment offered
by Mr. Young, of Illinois, to the Dis
tribnlion Act, and the unanimous vote
of the locofoco Senators in favor of it,
which we then declared, and still de-
clare to be in our opinion, injurious TO
the interest of the settlers. Tha, "a
mendmen, was Intended s'to authorize
the States to tax land from the time Of
purchase from the United States. -
We stated ,ha, the locofocos voted 10
repeal an ordinance Of Congress, which
eXempts the settlers land from taxa.
ton FOR FIVE YEARS after purchase,
AT this the Gazette runs off in an eNtasy
OF JOY, and not only defends the meas,
IRE, but tells as in the language we
have quoted, there is no such erdi,
nance in existence, The editor of,hat
paper says .hs, the ordinance Of 1857,
relative 10 the North Western Ter,
nsery. is the only ordinance that
ne has any knowledge Of, and is
pleased 10 inform rs, that il was with
GU, aeaes the ordinance in our mind,
when we peaaea our article Ia this
as IN a grea, many other things af
more political importance, he is mos.
sadly mistaken, We were well aware
tina, the ordinance OF leSe, had no
bearing upon the subjects nor can we
at this momen, pu, our hands on any
ordinance of Congress of general
character, which does exempt the
the land from taxation. But we know
wha, is certain; tina, the lands in the
new States, TO which title is obtained
from the United States, subsequent to
their admission into the Union, are ex.
empt from taxation, and that too, for
five years. We know further, that the
five per cent. allowed to the new
States upon their admission into the
Union, by virtue of compacts with
the government, upon the nett pro-
ceeds Of the public lands, sold within
their limits, is intended to make up to
them any deficiency in revenue, in con-
sequence ofthat disability. And again,
we know that the additional ten per
cent granted to them by the first section
Of the Distribution Act, was a further
bounty for the same purpose. We
!, know tnese Facts, and whether 1t IS a
general or special ordinance Of Con-
gress, which exemp,s the land from
taxation, is to us, however, great i'm
portance the Gazette may attach to it,
E a matter Of the smallest moment.
General or special, i, is still an ordi-
nance. else there was no necessity for
: Mr. Yonng's amendment? The very
admission Of new State into the
Union, is done by an ordinance Of
Congress, and by tina. ordinance. il
S none other, the humble settler receives
