SIX MILLIONS About two years ago,
DR. j. Walker an old and prominent ply
stefan of California, discovered, by actual
experience upon his own system, a medi-
cine which may honestly be termed "a
boon to suffering humanity" Being a
combination of herbalistic extracts. pung-
ent and sour to the taste, and yet possess
ed of gentle cumulative characteristics
although entirely free from alcoholic
named it VINEGAR BTTTERs, and despite
the prejudice existing among his profess
sion, against all patent medicines, he deter
mined to brave the jeers of his brother
practitioners and give to suffering human
ity the benefit of his accidental discovery
He did so, and the benefits from its use
became known. The demand increased,
and immense quantities were sold, at a
merely nominal price. Its merit is told in
the fact that in two years over SIX MIL
LIONS of bottles have been sold )" and still
the demand increases. Surely such man
should be ranked among the benefactors of

Another Id1ot Who Didn't Know it Was
Loaded,


A telegram to the Boston Herald says
that sad occurrence took place in Cor
nish Maine. on Sunday. A young man
named Sargent on coming home Saturday
night, hung up his overcoat, in one peck
ct of which was loaded revolver sun
day, his sister Maria, bright little girl OF
s years, found the coat on the floor, and,
as she was hanging it up, the revolver
dropped from the pocket. She picked 1t
up to show her father, and he, not know
ing it was loaded, pointed it at her, cooked
and fired it. The ball entered the girls
side just below the heart and she fell to
the floor and expired almost instantly.
| 1t might be dangerous experiment to
invite ex-Confederate soldiers to army re-
unions, but it would be graceful thing to
do, and it might result in good. The OBJ
| lect of these reunions is not to rejoice over
the killing and wounding of Southerners,
but to traternlze with old comrades. Why
should not our soldiers help to finish the
war in which they fought by making
/ friends with the foeman who have already
won their respect? Gen Sheridan speech
against the plan seems i'll advised. We
have had enough of sectional separation.
The men who saved us from physical can
now, perhaps, save us from mental disun-
ion. 1t so, it will be their nobiest victory.
