Magic Oil is ''death on Fits. ;.
Magic Oil is delicious. thank Renne for this
All pain it cures quickly for mother or miss,
Goes right to the trouble rubbed IN with the palm,
As sure as your faithful 1t works like charm.
The directions please folIowb but use your own skill
In, Sprains and Neuralgia, but battle with a will.
Used outward and inward it never does harm.
In Headache or Colo 1t works like charm.
Sore throat from Catarrh, from Cold In the Head
Or ChiIls from Cold that would keep you in he'd
Magic oil performs wonders, and acts like balm
For Gargling, Swathing 1t works like charm. y
The .'toot horn of fame" most usually lies,
So the Magic oil cures took the folks by sunrise
The claims that ii made caused wondro1s alarm
The trial now shows that 1T works like cnarm.'
II cures you So nicely, 1t makes yeu feel brave.
So thar ordinary pain is luxury to have
Magic Oh IN Dyspepsia gives feeling SO calm
The stomach In glee says 1t works like a charm"

A number of ladies connected with the
Progressive Temperance Association, made
a call at Q Brien saloon in Forrest block,
on Perry street, yesterday afternoon, and
had an interview with the proprietor. They
were received politely and treated with
respect. The subject of conversation en-
braced the propriety of Sunday law, a
pledge not to sell spurious liquor, and kin
bred topics, and was of nearly an hour s
duration-but no pledges were obtained
Mr.. Q Brien announced, several days since,
that the business of his saloon would be
confined to ale, beer and wine, and that he
was willing to close on Sundays The ladies
had an earnest conversation with him, were
urgent in their appeals. and no doubt left
favorable impression as to the object OF
their mission DdU Gaz. 18th

THE LATEST CARTOON,
THE TEMPERANCE PEOPLE BURLEsQUED.
DR.. Plummer and Rev. Mr.. McCalister before
the Foot Lights.

A new and rather ingenious cartoon has
been gotten up for the purpose of burles-
queing the temperance movement The
picture has been photographed and quite

s inches Itrepresents DIR. Plummer and
Rev. Mr. McCalister on a stage, near the
foot lights. The DR.. sits on a keg with
faucet in it, labelled ''Quack Medicine

placard which reads as follows:

The Sunday law must be enforced

Behind the figure of DIR. Plummer looms
up tall, ungainly looking fellow intended
for Mr.. McCalister. He holds aloft pla-
card which reads as follows:

I've sold my hardware
And taken to gospel teachlDgi
I've nothing TO do
But to look after yOu

The pictures are both pretty fair likeness.

DR.. wears full beard, frock coat, velvet
collar, turn-down shirt collar, etc. Mccall
lister has a swallow tail coat, or cut-away
style, like a preacher, round whiskers,
clean shaved upper lip, and has very large
ears. Both wear penitentiary pants, and
shocking ugly brogans In the rear of
McCalister is a well defined figure of a
jackass Over the whole, in large letters,
are these words: ''This Saloon will be
Closed on Sundays hereafter, until fur

large letters by order of the Fanatics. y
The imprint is 9Th. Nasty"
DR.. Plummer has secured one of the
pictures, had it framed and hung it in his
Office, where all can see it who wish. He
laughed right heartily over it, and said that
the only thing he objected to was reduc,
ing the price of prescriptions to so cents

tested against so niggardly sum- GLOW,

"A good many of the Davenport sa-
looms were closed on Sunday, and the Rock
islanders who went over there to indulge
in Sunday spree were few in number, and
growing beautifully less. Z
Judge Peasants has decided that cities
cannot charge over $500 year for saloon
license-this being the limit fixed by State
law. This makes Moline back down and
lose 800 year on her saloons besides
unless the Supreme Court reverses the de-
cision
A woman was in town from Hampton
the other day for the purpose of procuring
legal advice on proposed prosecution
against saloon keeper who has sold liquor
to her usually we'll behaved husband until
he is induced to repeatedly enact the role Of
dangerous domestic brute. She brought
along pair of we'll shaded eyes as sam
pie of his work and it is probable that the
dispenser of the stimulant which produced
this result will be compelled to pay fol
this work. He has already offered hel
twenty-five dollars to settle, but she puts 6
higher price on her beauty.

A cold in the head is an expert
ence we suppose many of our read
ers are familiar with. Just now
they are unusually prevalent, to
judge from our observations on the
streets. Those thus afflic' ed are to
be pitied, for they suffer almost
without hone of speedy relief.
while the misfortune Is aggravated
by the everlasting string of reme-
dies that are suggested by their
friends. Hot baths for the feet,
cold water bandages for the heal,
hot rum for the stomach, an extra
quit on the bed, or a combination
ofall four specifics, arc usually the
most frequently offered. Mean
while the sufferer nurses his ILL
used nose in a disconsolate man
or, and wishes the member at
the bottom of the sea, while he
watts for nature 10 do l.t beet or
worst, as the case may be. That
IL the best way after all.
