wish to add my testimony TO the wonder
full curative properties OF your Alt. Ext,
or Golden Medical Discovery. l have
taken great interest in this medicine
since first used it. Twas badly afflicted
with dyspepsia, liver deranged and an
almost perfect prostratiou OF the nervous
system. So rapid and complete did the
Discovery effect q perfect cure that it
seemed like magic and perfect wonder
to myself, and since that time we have
never been without bottle of the Dis
covery and Purgative Pellets in the
house. They are solid, sound family
physician in the house and ready at all
times to fly to the relief of sickness--wlth-
out charge. We have never hada doct or
in our house since we first began the use
of your Pellets and Discovery. i have
recommended the use of these medicines
in several severe and complicated cases
arising from, as / thought, an impure
state Of the blood. and in no one case
have they failed to more than accomplish
all they are claimed to do. | will only
mention one as remarkable, Though
could give you dozens) Henry Roster,
furniture dealer, of this place, who was
one OF the pitiful creatures ever seen,
his face swollen out Of shape, scales and
eruptions without end, extending to his
body, which was completely covered
with blotches and scales. Nothing that
he took seemed t. effect ii a particle. l
induced him to try few bottles of the
Golden Medical Discovery, with daily
use CT the Pellets, assuring him it would
surely cure him. He commenced its use
some six weeks since, taking two Pellets
each night for week, then one each
night, and the Discovery as directed.
The result is, to-day his skin is perfectly
smooth, and the scaly eruptions are gone.
in all, and considers himself cured This
case has baffled the skill of our best
physicians. Messrs. Dunsford g. Co.,
druggists, of this place, are selling large
y of your medicines and the demand
teadily increases, and they give perfect
abstraction in every case.

ALASKA TO LET.


After all the efforts OF local societies
for the encouragement of immigration
II must be admitted that Of least one
portion df our republic has more popu.
lation than Is necessary. Alaska, the
newest OF our territorial acquisitions,
has too many people. II might be
said that Alaska ought to have moro
or less. But there is no human proba.
bility that il will have larger number
Of white inhabitants than Il now has.
Therefore, il should have less. In fact
IL should have none. When Russia
sold Alaska TO the United States the
people then living in the region werc
offered their choice between the pro
lection of the American Bird of Free
dom and that of the Russian Bear.
The Muscovites, with one accord went
back to Russia, evacuating the premises
as completely as their government did.
The natives, who for most part are
whisky-drinking, candlc-eating and
stolid race could not make up their
minds whether to go OF stay. They
were not sure whether they would like

There are between twenty-five thous.

that an invasion of newspaper CORES.
pondents, which preceded the formal
annexation of the territory, would
alarm the timerous Aleuts, who might
fancy that American citizenship meant
a transformation of themselves into
such beings as those who raced about
the land without cause or provocation,
continually asked questions, were de-
voured with insatiatc curiosity and
generally behaved like lunntics. But
