MEDICAL AUTHORITIES have announced
that not less than one-ffth of the entire pop
ulation of the United States are afflicted
with Neuralgia in some FORM Surely the
man who can safely remove such vast ag
gregate of pain is great public benefactor.
Such is Doctor Turner, of Boston, in Massa-
chusetts. His Universal Neuralgia Pill'' is
pronounced, on all hands, to be sa entirely
harmless and perfectly certain remedy for
this most torturing of all known Diseases.

they kindly inform US that at the last "grand
drawing in aid in aid of the soldiers or
phans," the number of our share was 454,-
1913; our premium is valued at 5000, and as
the assessment on this is FIVE por cent, or
$40, if we will forward that small amount,
they will forward the premium. These gen.
tlemen are kind, indeed, and from their con-
nection with the Soldiers orphans" are I'M
doubtedly, "srooly loil," but, inasmuch as we
never subscribed for a chance in their be-
nevolent and honest scheme, the only propo-
sition we can offer them, is, that they for
ward $3.50 and call the thing square. They
can forward the money by express at our

ORACULAR.-The London Times, in no.

dowment, thus summarizes what may be
said for and against the measured:
The great Protestant deputation which
waited on MIR. Disraeli q few DAVIS AGO
modestly requesting that the Established
Church In Ireland should be let alone. that
the grant to Presbyterian ministers should
be increased, but that the old rule of wrong
toward Catholics should be persevered in.
met with very encouraging reception from
the premier. His answer, to quote the
Times, - had in it the true ring of mo sur
render, and might well have elected a
round OF Kentish fire." But the same iour-
nal very fairly says that programme of
the Protestant Defense Association {" ia the
one programme which public opinion will
never ratify, outraging, as it does, both
equity ana common sense. There is much
to be said for Lord Russelrs ORIGINAL
scheme for endowing all three religious de-
nominations in Ireland out of the 1.-THE rent
charge in the proportion of their numhers
There is much to be said for Mr.. Glads tones
plan of disendowing all impartially, with
due security for vested interests There is
something to be said for leaving things as
they are, though a more favorable opportu-
NIFTY for settlement is not likely to occur.
There is nothing to be said for retaining ali
the revenues OF the wealthiest communion.
and increasing the revenues of the next
wehthiest, while the Church of the moor ia
pot only to be left unendowed, but to be
Informed with contumely that Protestants
Will never listen to any plea in its behalf"
