Tiage relation. In all nations where it is toll
erated, it simply legalizes prostitution. No

been made to enforce the law, the committee
says the fact Is humilating. If this is in

NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of Line of Telegraph, located with
n view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns are now with
out any Geographic communication whatever, and
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases. disconnected, following cir
cultous routes, hundreds of miles out of a direct
course, causing yexatious and unnecessary delays
to business, by reason of numerous repetitions,
and the frequent Interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts are borne in mind that the
liability of a telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the same proportion as its
length, and that the repetition of a message dou-
bles the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages of direct
route over the crcuitous now in operation
can readily be seen.

a GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE

DR.. Maggielis the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfesble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexss
of his matchless saIve. gag
DIR. Maggieps Pills and Salve have ushered in
n new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of Maggiels Pills rectifes
the dsordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
marvellous.
Intact Maggieps bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-

of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infallible.
