SABBATH SCHOOL CONFERENCE.-The
Sabbath School Association of Lyon
and Chase counties met at the court
house pursuant to announcement. The
attendance by the Friends, who we be-
lieve established this Association, was
good, some of them coming a distance
of ten miles. Several other Sabbath
schools in the country were represent
ed. The attendance from Emporia did
not exhibit very lively interest in the
cause of Sabbath schools, on the part of
the village. There were four persons
present from Emporia. Two of the
Sabbath schools of the town were not
represented at all. In fact, we think the
Sabbath school people of Emporia ought
on such good cause.
The next meeting is to be held at Cot
tonwood Falls on Saturday, the 18th of
September, and the following pro-
gramme was adopted by the committee
appointed for that purpose:

From Rev. Isaac Aiken, Allegheny, Pal

JosErH FLsHIHo, Druggist,
<sr. r No. 81 Market Street. Pittsburgh:
Sir-I take great pleasure in stating that, after
having suffered from dyspepsia for about fifteen
years, at some periods much more than others, 1
have been entirely cured by the of Goes Dys-
pepsia Cure. Ny friends know that of late years
my case has been an extreme one. had great suf
fering from eating any kind of food, and
age, would vomit about third of my meals in a
sour, indgeetible mass. When the severe attacks
would come would lose all strength, aud be utterly
helpless. Some of the attacks would be SO severe
that for days together would not retain any thing
on my stomach save little dry toast and tea For
years knew not what it to pass Eve consecutive
hours without intense pain. From the time l took
the first dose of this medicine ceased vomiting,
gradually all soreness passed away, and flesh and
strength returned, and ever since have been able to
cat kind of food set upon the table. Six months
have now passed without any symptoms Of the
turn Of the disease. Ny case considered by all,
even physicians, so marvellous that for time twas
feared that it might be fictitious; but . m now so
well convinced that have not been merely relieved
but permanently cured that can conscienciously
recommend Cos's DyspePsa Cure to all victims OF
dyspepsia. ISAAC AIKEN,
