ANOTHER CURE OF sCRoFULA

The following striking and, as Will be seen, per-
manent cure of an inveterate of scroiua, COM
mends itself to all similarly afflicted:
SOUTHPORT, Conn, January /, 1913.
Messrs. SAND5-G ntlemen: Sympathy for the
afflicted induces me to inform you of the remarka
BILE cure effected by your Sarsaparilla in the
OF my wife She was severely afflicted with the
scroiula different parts of the body; the glands
OF the neck were greatly enlarged and her limbs
much swollen. After suffering year, and
finding no relief from the remedies used, the dis
ease attacked one leg, and below the knee suppu-
rated. Her physician advised it should be laid
open, which was done, but without any permanent
beneht. In this situation VIC heard of, and were
induced to use, SANDs' Sarsaparlla The first bot
tie produced decided and favorable effect reliev
ing her more than any prescription shc had ever
taken, and before she had used six bottles, to the
astonishment and delight of her friends she found
her health quite restored. II ia now over a year
since the cure was effected and her health remains
good, showing the disease was thoroughly eradI-
knowing to these facts, and think very highly Of
Sands Sarsaparla.
Yours, with respect, JULIUS PIKE.
Extract from letter received from MIR. ~ w
Harris, gentleman well known in Louisa county,
Virginia:
''GEsTLrMEN' have cured negro boy of mine
with your Sarsaparia, who was attacked with
scrofula, and of a scrofulous family.
"Yours truly, n. w. HARRIS.

SANDS SARsAPARILLA.-It seems almost unne-
cessary to direct attention TO en- article so we'll
known, and so deservedly popular, as this prepa-
ration, bat patients often who wish TO use the cx-
tract Of Sarsaparla induced to try worthless
compounds bearing the name but containing little
none of the virtue of this valuable root; and We
think we cannot confer greater benefit our
readers than In directing their attention TO the adj
vcrtisement Of the Messrs. Sands in another col
umn. The bottle has recently been enlarged TO
hold quart. and those who wish really good ar
tcle will find concentrated in this all the medicinal
value of the root The experience of thousands has
proved its efficacy In curing the various diseases
for which it is recommended; and at the present
time more than any other, perhaps, is this medicine
useful, in preparing the system for change of
son.-Home Journal, Sept. ls4s.

EARL OF Observation-Disclosures letters from Nova
Scotia intimate that the Earl of Dundonald is about
to visit New York in his flag ship, the Wellesley,

Ger here, where he will probably find many who
have known him in different parts of the world I'M
der his former title of Lord Cochrane. These let
tiers speak in the highest praise of this officers at
teDtion to the duties of his appointment since he
has been the naval commander on the station. The
zeal with which he has applied bis active mind to
colonial affairs, and his simple minded and disin
terested patriotism, qualify him. in the opinion of
correspondent, for the higher post of governor
of of the provinces. Good governors, it is said,
make good citizens, and the British Ministry may
perhaps act wisely in consulting the wishes of the
coonists in such a matter.-N y. Com. Aduertiser

ENcoURAoINo FROM THE MINEs.-Accounts from
the North Fork OF Feather river very satis!ac-
tory. We hear OF some who have made "big
hauls," and the current reports are, that all who
are at work are making remunerating wages.
A Mr.. Steel who left this city for Feather river,
on the 9th OF July, returned last week with two
thousand six hundred dollars Of the shining dust.
A gentleman from Louisiana, who is now at work
on the Mississippi bar of the South Fork of the
American, is working lead which pays him at the
rate of twenty cents to the bucket full of earth He
employs two hands, by whose assistance he washes
over a thousand buckets full every day-his ma
chine being worked by horse power He says it is
difficult to ascertain from miners correct state
ment of what they are doing, but thinks that some
are doing very well, while others not more than
paying their board.
An instance of remarkable good fortune is related
to having occurred on the North Fork of the
American, and the from which we derive
our information leaves room to doubt it's
curacy. 1t appears that an old man from Salem,
Massachusetts, who came out last spring, has been
at work for four dollars a day. but at length, his
services failing to give satisfaction to his employ
ers, they discharged him. Thrown out Of employ
ment, the old gentleman thought he would try the
mines 50 his own hook" accordingly he located
his claim and went TO work. At the expiration of
a week he had amassed, the proceeds of his indi-
vidual labor, the comfor table sum of s 000 and
offered $4,000 for his claim, but refused to
accept 1t.

MAYOR BIGELow.--We are glad to learn that the
symptoms of our afflicted Mayor are decidedly inn
proving. One of his attendant physicians, Dr.
Billings, informs that the wound has COM
menced :" sloughing," and that all the circum-
stances attending that process are at the present
moment favorable. In the brief conversation
were permitted to enjoy with Mr.. Bigeow last
evening, we found him very cheerful, sanguine Of
recovery and as firmly as ever devoted to the pub
lie interests. The loss of such magistrate at this
emergency would indeed have been public evil,
and We fervcntly thank Heaven that he has been
spared.

Compensate for the grief thy long delaying,
Costs the fond heart that signs TO have thee here'
Linger not long. How shall watch Thy coming
AS evening Shadows stretch DER moor and dell;
When the wild bee hath ceased her busy humnIng
And silence hangs on all things like spell
How shall watch for thee when fears grow stronger
AS night grows dark and darker on the hi'
How shall weep when can watch no longer
Oh! art thou absent, art thou absent sun!

Gazeth through tears that make its spendor dull
For OH sometimes fear when thou art with me,

Haste, as bird unto its peaceful nest!
Haste, as skif, when tempests wide are swelling,
Flies to its haven of securest rest.
