GENERAL PENSION LAW SUGGESTED

TO me EditOr OF The Tribune
SIR: Will you permit me to say word about
the pension lawsi Nearly fifty years after the Revolu
ionary war Congress granted pensions the
Of that war; and few years ago to the survivors Of the
war Of ls2l6 and there Ia effort being made
pension the SURVIVORS Of the Mexican war I would
suggest and hope you will advocate general pension
law, for the following reasons:
The soldiers. who were ddleaged men, In the British
wars had ALL nearly all of them, died before the pen
sion laws we're enacted. Men who have families make
greater sacrifices in joining the army than single
do aud generally poorer ut the close OF the
than they At the beginning.
MY idea IL that every VINO serves the In
time Of war, either In the army navy should, when
he arrives at certain say 90 years be entitled to
pension. Under such q law a soldier who WAS IS years
OF age In 1861 would begin drawing pension In 1916.
while VINO IS years OF age at that time would
reach the pension age 1886 and those who rs
years Of In 1861 would reach the In 1896.
and The older men would die before the
younger men became pensioners, and as only small
nuBber Of men reach the age OF 90 years. there would
not be many pensioners at any one tlme w.AP.

Heat and Sickness.

During the hot and sultry weather an unu-
sual amount Of sickness prevails in every COM
munity especially among females and children,
caused by the fermenting miasmi, gas or nj
trogenous matter floating in the air, arising
from decayed vegetation. This bad air affects
everything we eat, and engenders in it semi
fermentation which when taken in the system
is like leaven, and operates on the whole;
starting in the bowels and soon producing a
violent fermentation, causing diarrhea and
dissentery. 1t has been fonnd that the use OF
Speer's old Grapee Wine of New Jersey has
an extraordinary effect in checking this fer
mentation and restoring the system to its or
iginal strength and vigor, and when used in
time it prevents these complaints altogether.

the most nutritious and strengthening tonic in
the market, and the greatest help in resisting

phere. This wine so long established has be-
come the standard wine upon which physi,
clans rely as the most rich in body and genu-
inc in character, containing the greatest
amount Of medicinal properties with the least
intoxicating qualities. Speer's vineyards
promise larger yield this year than usual,
and he has reduced the price of his WINE that
any one can now purchase it of druggists fol

until it is four years old.-Gazette.

The '.Medico-C -Chirurgical Society of East
ern Ohio" held its regular meeting in Bellaire
City, Tuesday, October 9Th. President Jun
kins in the Chair-and in the absence of the
regular Secretary, DR.. A. H. Hewetssn was
appointed Sec'y pro ten.
In addition to Belmont county members, a
number of medical gentlemen from Steuben,
vile and Wheeling were present.
Several new members were received into the
Association, and indications of prosperous
and useful existence appears to open out be-
fore it, in the immediate future.
This meeting was Of unusual interest. A
large portion of the afternoon was occupied in
discussing very able paper read by DR.. Sat
terthwait, of Bellaire City, upon the subject
of ''Hydrate ChloraL" The discussion was
engaged in very generally by the members, and
was quite interesting and animated.
The propriety and advantage of having some
fixed place Of holding the meetings of the So
ciety was mooted. The probabilities are it
lies between Bellare and Bridgeport.
The next meeting is to be held at Bridge
port the first Thursday-instead of Tuesday,
as heretofore-of next month.
The Chair appointed Drs John E. West, A.
II. Hewetson, and J. Cook to report upon the
subject of Typhoid Fever; and Drs. T. o. Ed
wards, Of Wheeling, J. T. Judkins, of Barnes
vile, and Barker, of Bellaire, upon Pneumo-
MIA, at the next meeting.

out all the discussions, all appearing to desire
the promotion of the true interests Of scientific

end of this township, was driving his team
along the road leading from the pike to Lewis
Mills-coming down the steep hill east of Jas.
McMillen's residence, the bit in the mouth
of one of the horses broke, and they became
unmanageable, and dashed down the hill at a
fearful speed. At the foot of the hill, and
near the residence of Samuel Hogue, the wag-
on struck stump at the side of the road and
threw Mr.. Wilkins with great violence some
fifteen feet, to the ground, upon his head
and breast He was taken into the house Of
Mr.. Hogue, in an unconscious condition, and
Drs. Estep and Porterfield at once summoned
but he was beyond medical aid, and neither
spoke or recognized any one afterward. HI

and died at ten o'clock the same evening
His funeral took place on Wednesday, and hi
remains, which were inferred in the Presbyte
rian Cemetery Of this place, were followed t.
their final restingplace by large number o
friends and relatives.
