Protection to the Eyes.

Proper care of the eyes is duty no
person sho1ld neglect. As the sight be-
gins to fail it is of the first importance to
procure proper eye glasses A bad pair of
spectacles will do incalculable injury, and
a properly fitted pair will greatly aid in
prolonging the sight For some days past
Prof. Hirschberg of st. Louis, has been
at the Harper House, where he has re-
ceived hundreds of calls from our best
citizens, who have availed themselves of
his thorough knowledge of his profession
to procure such glasses as enables them to
read with all the comfort and ease of
youth. A thoroughly skillful man
In his profession he rarely fails
to ut a person on the first trial,
after he examines the eyes. THE
ARGUS, with its hundred eyes, bears cheer
full testimony to the skill of the Professor,
as well as to the very fine quality of bis
goods. His latest improved diamond
glasses, his own invention and manufac.
ture, are the finest thing in that line we
have ever seen. He will remain at the
Harper House until O'Clock Thursday
evening, before which time we advise those
who want good glasses to give him call

Reckless Shooting.

On Saturday as Mr. Mitchell and Tom
Welcher of Davenport were driving home
from temperance meeting, in the vicinity
of Pleasant Valley, they were suddenly
halted by three men with drawn revolvers.
Having a spirited team they whipped
through the trio who sent seven bullets
through the carriage top, one ball going
through Welcher's arm. The team ran
away, upset the carriage and in the fall
Mitchell broke an arm. They finally sue.
ceeded in stopping their horses, and ar
rived in Davenport badly used up.
The attacking party proved to be officer:
from Dewitt and Lyons, and Mr.. John
son of lie Claire, who were in pursuit o.
Jim Bell, who had escaped from Clinton
Jail, and supposed this to be the party es-
Gaping.
1t will be recollected that on the 18th O

LIVER AND BLOOD DISEASES.
BY r. V. PIERCE, NJ. ID.

BY r. V. PIERCE, NJ. ID.
\ healthy liver secretes each day about
two aud a half pounds of bile, which CON
talns great amount of vast material
taken from the blood When the liver be-
comes torpid and congested,i it fails to elm
mate this vast amount of noxious sub
stance, which therefore, remains to poison
the blood, and be conveyed to every part
of the system What must be the condi-
ton of the blood when it is receiving and
retaining each day two and half pounds
of poison? Nature tries to work off this
poison through other channels and organs
the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc., but these
organs become overtaxed in performing
this labor in addition to their natural
functions, and cannot long withstand the
pressure, but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated
by the unhealthy blood, which passes to it
from the heart and it fails to perform it's
office BEAUTIFULLY. Hence the symptoms of
bile poisoning, which are dullness, head
ache, ineapacity to keep the mind on any
subject, impairment Of memory, dizzy.
sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy fore
| bodings, and irritability of temper. The
| blood itself being diseased, as it forms the
sweat upon the surface of the skin, it is so
irritating and poisonous that it produces
dlscolored brown spots, plmpies, blotches,
and other eruptions, sores, boils, carbun-
cles and scrofulous tumors. The stomach.
bowels, and other organs cannot escape
becoming affected, sooner or later, and we
have as the result, costiveness, piles, drop
sy, dyspepsia, diarrhea. Other SYMPTOMS
are common, as bitter or bad taste in
mouth, internal heat, palpitation, teasing
cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensa
ton IN throat, blOating of stomach, pain
in sides or about shoulders or back. cold
ness OF extremlties, ETC., etc. Only few
OF the above symptoms are likely 10 be
present IN any case at one time. The
liver being the great depurating or blood
cleansing organ of the system-set this
| 'housekeeper of our health at work. and
the foul corruptions, which gender in the
blood, and rot out as it were. the machin-
cry of life, are gradually expelled from
the system. For this purpose Dr. Pierce :
Golden Medical Discovery with very small
doses daily of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purg-
alive Pellets are re-eminently the articles
needed. Great eating ulcers kindly heal
under their mighty curative influence. Vir-
ulent blood poisons that Turk in the system
are by them robbed of their terrors, and
by their perseveriDg and somewhat pro-
tracted use the most tainted systems may
be completely renovated and built up
anew. Enlarged glands, tumors and
swellings dwindle away and disappear un-
der the influence OF these great resolVents.

with cheap inferior baking powders, and

that the Cream Baking Powder does the

Somehow or other the unfortunate
change our city council made in our police
force has brought down upon US horde
of burglars, thieves, robbers, etc. On
Friday some one entered the Office of Dr.
Plummer and took from a drawer and

left an old pen knife on the table. The

for some time been engaged at Gilmore
pork house. He lives in the back part Of

He and his wife retired about ii O'Clock
Saturday night. The sleeping room they
occupy is adjoining the sitting or living
room. and out of this sitting room door
opens to the east with walk to a gate or
Washington street. They left this door
unlocked because their son had gone over
to Davenport to visit young man named
Downes, a comrade of his, both being il
the employ of Mason, Evans Il Co. carriage
builders. Mrs. Williamson had $l6(
sewed in a pocket in an under skirt
When she retired she rolled up the Skin
and placed it under her pillow, Mr.. VIII
hanson had some $40 or $l2 in a tuck
wallet in his pants pocket, which he lief
on chair The wallet had his full name
in it,-also init three small pieces of silver
change and key. In the morning they
found their garments on the back porch
the wallet gone, and the money from thu
pocket of the skirt gone,-the pocket la!
there with the clothes, it having been cut OF
in jagged manner with not very sharl
knife. The door from the sitting room t
the bed room was not locked, and boil
doors were shut when they arose in tn,
morning.
During the night between2 and 3 O clock
there was an alarm of fire which awakene,
Mrs. W. and she got up and looked out
Both doors were shut then, but their so
had not yet returned. She says the rob
berry was committed before that time a
