SPECIAL NOTICES.

1T IS A FACT ESTABLISHED and we'll known
that the Arabians attained height in the knowl-
edge OF medicine which caused the whole world to
wonder and admire. With them the science Of
chemistry had its birth, and it is therefore, not
all strange that people eminentIy successful in
the healing art, and so persevering and daring in
character, should, by actual and untlring expert
ment discover remedies far SURPRISING in efficacy
all Others for the cure OF those diseases incident
them from their mode of life. The greater part of
their time teing spent In hazardous and bloody
warfare with the different tribes they were subject
to thu most violent attacks of rheumatism paralys
is, neuralgia pains, and various inflammatOry dis
cases. also the most horid wounds, sprains brui-
ees tumors, swellings diseases Of the JOINTS etc.
All these diseases they were surprisingly eff
cient in curing, that the uninitfated looked with
wonder and attributed their skill to the powers OF
magic. H G. FARRELL'S ARABIAN L1NIMENT
plants peculiar TO this country and il was by the
use of the articles composing this great remedy
that not only their physicians, but even the wild
Arabs OF the desert were enabled to perform such
miraculous cures. The Arab eteed is world-re-
nowned for his beautiful symmetry OF form, his
unsurpassed speed and agility, and the incredible
fatigue it is capable Of enduring Why Is it? Be-
cause from the time OF his birth his limbs care
fully watched, and upon the first appearance OF
disease the magic lotion is applied and such things
as confirmed sweeny, pollev1l, hstula4 rlngoone,
scratches SPAWN, lameness, etc., etc. are unknown
The same result will follow in all cases where H.
g. Farrells Genuine arabian Llniment 1s used II

supply of it. for every dollar spent in it will save
you twenty, and great deal OF suffering, II moi

A Learned Mans Opinion of Our Public
Schools

New York, Sept 10 st. Patrick
Leonard pastor of St. Johns Catholic
church. Newark, yesterday made an attack
upon the public school system of the coun-
try. O1e evidence Of the baBelul Influence
of / public school teaching, he said,
might be observed nightly when young
girls of loose character peram buIated
the streets Of Newark. 1t parents
permitted their children to go to pub.
lie schools he would avail himself of his
privilege and publicly denounce them from
the altar, and if their children were mem.
bers of the Angels Society of st. Johns
he would have them expelled. He would
not permit them to associate with the
other children of the parish and church as
he feared their contaminating influence
He had taken his stand and under no con
sideration would he recede from it.

Says Secretary Evarts is Another

New YORK, Sept. l0.-Cyrus W. Field

of two months He states that the declara-
tons made by Secretary of State Evarts

cable, permitting them to land it anywhere
on the American coast except the shores
of Florida This franchise was sold to
Siemeus & Co., contractors for laying the
the cable, who in turn disposed Off to the

attorney general, giving his opinion of the
legality of the act and the power under it
to land cable on American shores.
