DESPERATE KICK AGAINST THE RESUMPTION
From ~ Washinqlon Polt.

There is no reason to suppose that the re-
peal OF Resumption Law would postpone the day OF
actual specie resumption though IL might indeed in
terfere with joan Shermans plan for fictitious re-
sumption by artificial at an arbitrary date What
the country needs is relief from the asRhyxating
pressure OF law which originally devised for the
purpose OF bung the credit OF the Government at the
expense Of every private interest as wen In the land
The repeal Of the Resumption Act would simply loosen
the long bony fingers Of John sherman from the throat
Of his country, and that is the reason why 1t would be
q beneficial measure.

william Grace.

As general inquiry OF "What is Graces
Salve, and who is its. originator? =" may seem to
be a question worthy of being answered, we
have been induced to give the following brief,
yet truthful account of its history: This Salvc
is vegetable preparation, invented in the sew
enteenth centuty BY DR.. William Grace, who
was surgeon in King James army, and who
from that time always used it in his profess
sional practice, whenever soreness or intlama-
tion presented itself. As medical agent for
the cure of wounds, it was followed with
great success, land thousands Of the veterans
that were wounded in the campaign Of 1858
and 1859 owed to this sal :he salvatien of
their lives. Col. Richar Grace, who was
King James chamberlain, introduced this
Salve into the royal palace, where it was used
with the greatest success, and highly es-
teemed for its virtues in the cure of sores. At
the siege of Athlonc, Col. Grace ordered it to
be administered to his compatriots who were
wounded during the memorable day of the
battle; and it was used with such success
that the head surgeon of the army at Augh-
rim orle. ed DR.. Grace to manufacture 100
gross, and distribute it among the hospitals
before the battle. On the sad defeat at Augh-
rim after Ginkle's army took possession of the
been abandoned by the retreating army, wei c
und to contain sealed cases of the Salve The
English surgeons tested it upon their wounded
and ascertained its value, and thus were both
of the contending armies befriended by it.
Both DR.. William Grace and Col. Richard
Grace died in the campaign Of 1691-the form.
er OF disease, the latter killed in the intrench.
ments of Athlone, with the flag of his country
wrapped around him, cheering his men on to
victory. After the death of Dr.. Grace, the
Salve was not used much outside the family,
until the rebellion Of 1898, when William
Grace, grandfather OF the subscriber, applied
! its virtues, at the battle Of Ross, to his brave
comrades who fell wounded while fighting for
| the rights of their country. This salve was
quite extensively used in certain localities OF
Ireland, being furnished gratuitously by the
subscribers parents until 1913, when they left
the land of their nativity and came to this
country, bringing with them the secret OF the
Salve they received from their ancestors
They continued to make the Salvc as before
for their neigbors free OF chage, until the fall
Of 1851, when the freouen' calls for it, and the
serious cases cured by it, induced the sub
scrber to bring it into more general notice,
and to charge small price for the article
that has received the Recommendation Of pa
tiiots upon the battle-fields of yore, as well as
from persons of the present day.-Toronto
