s,oxmrd,y Assaults.

When n candidate for high Office IL so
we'll liked and SO popular with the masses
as 10 make his defeat difficult in fair and
honorable fight, mean and cowardly men are
not wanting who delight in manufacturing
lies and slandering his good name. There
are also those whose selhshness promPt
them To prostitute their honor, pervert
truth, and ignore right, for the sake OF
iniuripg competitor in business, whose
prosperity they envy, and with whose
business ssgacity they have not the talent 10
successfully compete in an honorable way
These thoughts are suggested by the mean,
cowardly attacks made upon me and my
medicines, by those who imagine their
pecuniary prospects injured by the great
popularity which my standard medicines
have acquired, and the continued growth oil
my professional practice. Narrow.minded
practitioners OF medicine, and manufacturers
of preparations which do not possess suf-
ficieDt merit to successfully compete Tor
popular favor, Jhave resOrted to such cow
urdly strategy as to publish all sorts oil
ridiculous reports about the composition Oh
my medicines. Almanacs Receipt Books,
and other pamphlets, are issued and scattered
broadcast over the land, wherein these
contemplate knaves publish pretended
analyses of my me dicines, and receipts for
making them. Some Of these publications
are given high.sounding names, pretend to
be issued by respectable men of education
and position, for the good of the people, the
more completely to blind the reader to the
real object in their circulation, which is to
iniure the sale of my medicines. "The
Popular Health Almanac" is the high
sounding name of one of these publications,
which contains bogus receipts, without a
grain of truth in them. Not less devoid Of
truth are those which have been published
by one DR.. L., of Detroit, in the Michigan
Farmer, and by other manufacturers OF
medicines in several so'called journals OF
Pharmacy, They are all prompted by
jealousy, aud utterly fail in accomplishing
the object of their authors; for, notwith
standing their free circulation, my medicine
continue to sell more largely than any other
manufactured in this country, and arr
constantly increasing in sale despite tn,
base lies concocted and circulated by tuci
knaves. The people find that these medi
cines possess genuine merit, accoulpns'
what their manufacturer claims Tor them
and are not the vile, poisonous nostrum
which Jealous, narrOw-mIndcd physician
and sneaking cOmpOunders OF competiD
medicines represent them to be. Anon
the large number of pretended analyse
published, it is q significant fact that no wv
have been at all alike, conciusively provln
the dishonesty of their authors. 1t J
enough for the people to know that Will
tho sands, yes, may truthfully say million'

, cured. no one has ever received injury froI
, their use. R.V. PIERCE, NJ. d.,

Germany is preparing to mobilize two
army corps for the purpose of watching the
Polish frontier. This is in accordance with
the statement made some time ago that in
the event OF war, Germany would aid Rus
STA by taking care OF Poland. Perhaps a
more significant statement is that Austria
Is collecting munitions OF war at SemliD,
opposite Belgrade, preparatory to seizing
the Servian capital in the event OF Russian
| occupation of Roumania. Ii is announced
that Sir Edward Thornton, present British
Minister to the United States, is to replace

AT meeting held less than two years

six thousand men stood for three hours
to hear Mr.. Moody preach. The scene
is thus wildly described by the late DR..
Arnot: Nothing was seen but mems

merged in water, and only their heads
protruding. So close was the mass that
