In the communication signed FLATS
in our last issue, an error occurred by
which the sense of the writer was des-
troyed. The meaning of the writer
was that allowances were sometimes
made to members of families and were
used, while the allowance lasts, to sup
port other members Of the family than
those for whom it was appropriated,
who are able to, but refuse to work,
depending to some extent on the poor

shows the encroachments which the latter has
been continually making upon our free institu-
tiens, and how these attacks have been frustra,
ted by the spirit OF independence and the love
of religious liberty which form such important
elements in the American character. In this
work will also be found a full description of tho
causes which led to the war OF 1912; debates on
the subject, and selections from Mr.. Clay's mae.

cure for termination of Blood to the Head
Elias Hope, one Of the most celebrated advo-
Gates OF ,teIpPeranea, in the Union, admits that
he suffered more than any one he over heard of
from termination of blood to the head, although
he was most abstemious both in eating & drink
ing, also in taking rest yet he was so bad at
times, that in the midst OF his most eloquent
discourses, he was compelled to leave off ad-
dressing his auditors, and on several occasions
has been carried away from meeting completely
senseless. Having scientific good effects of Hoi-
loway's Pills, he was induced to give them
trial and, to use his own words, they acted like
magic. L; is fourteen months ago since he com
menced taking the celebrated medicine, which
completely cured him in TWO months, and he ha S
not had any return OF. this Complaint since
These Pills are wonderfully eicacious in all dis
orders of the stomach and bowels. @ ss
