Is becoming very common in every community,
and the sudden deaths resulting warn iIls TO seek
some relief. The disease assumes many different
form 8, among which we notice Palpitatton, In
largement, Spasms, Ossihcation or Bony Forma-
ton Of the Heart, rheumatism, General Debility,
Water about the Heart. Sinking OF the spirits pain
IN the Side or Chest. Dizziness, Sluggish Circula-
ton of the Blood and Momentary Stoppage of the
Action OF the Heart.
These forms of Heart Disease have been cared
by DR.. Graves Heart Regulator, and we do
hesitate to say II will cure them again. Any form
of Heart Disease will readily yield to Its use, and
we have yet to learn OF any where the Heart
Regulator has been taken properly and the party
not received a marked benefit.
Onr agent ola application, VIII furnish you with
our circu lar ,gIvins full description of the dis
ease and Al 50 a number of testimonials of cures
and If you would like further proof from the par
ties who have given the tcs.mo mails, write them
and see what they say.
We have sold many thousand bottles OF the
heart Regulator and the demand is sti increasing
We are confident we are doing the public benefit
and not trying to impose ON them worthless
preparation.
The price OF the Heart Regulator is ONE Dol
LAR per bottle, and can be obtained of our agent.

The BROOKLYN Revelations.

The robbercs of the Brooklyn Ring ap-
pear larger and larger with every days
report. They not only stole from the pub
Ii treasury, hut from private persons who
had trusted their property in their hands.
The amount Of all their larccnics and
frauds it would bc dihcult now to state.
Men of unblemished reputation aud credit
were concerned in these crimes. For in
stance, no one bore faircr character than
ErHELRERT : Mills up 10 the time of his
suicide; and yet 1t is now proved that he
was great villain, II thief, and Il swindler.
The transactions of the Brooklyn Ring
resemble those of the TWEED Ring of New
York and OF the CooKU and SHEPHERD
Ring in Washington. The amount OF
money stolen does not appear to be so
large rs that pluudcrod 10y TWEED and his
associates i'm tn, city or by SHErHERp and
his confodtrntas in arlington; but the
crime in BIoollyn is darker, because con-
ldencc was more ounniugly violated, ana
smooth, pious hypocrisy more shamelcssly
practiscd.
And what is the cnuse Of thi. immcns,
and almost universal manifestation of de-
prayity, Of this collapse of honesty ant
hunoig Doubtless thyrcurc various causes
but the most immediate and pregnant o.
them all is the example set 10y the Pre,i
dent Of the United states ana MS approva
aud endorsement 10y the Republican party
His appointment of pro-cnt-giycrs to hi@l
places; his appropriation of Offices belong

family; his scon for honesty and right

Jay Cooke & Co.

The circumstances attending the stop
page Of this conspicuous banking house
nrc fully reported in another part Of this
paper.
The credit Of the house has been deeply
impaired 10y the implication of Henry d..
Cooke one Of the members, with the inn
menso frauds of the Washington Ring.
That was enough to break down anything (;
but along with THIS the chief cause of JAY
COOKIES failure is the attempt 10 build the
Northern Pacific Railroad. That enor-
nous and ill-considcred undertaking was
sufficient TO exhaust the strongest re-
rources. It's downfall we fear will in
volvc thousands of widows, orphans, and
conhding people Of limited means in last
ing poverty and embarrassment.
1t is long since we had such financial
storm as now RACES. But when it clears
OF the air will be more wholesome. There
will be less reckless speculation; fewer
railroads will he built on credit alone
and let us hope that Credit Mobiliers, plum
dering Rings offcial corruption, bribC
giving and preseut taking Viii be thing:
OF the past only.
