From Rev. John Gregory,

ton, Luserne County, Pa.
My Dear Sir-Having at various times, personally,
and in my and other families, tested the great
value Of the medicine called PERUVIAN SYRUP,
or PROTECTED SOLUTION OF PROTOXIDE OF
IRON, most cheerfully recommend it, especially to
those who suffering from dyspeptic and nervous
disorders. AS reliable and powerful Alternative, it
is, think, unsurpassed; and as tonic, free from
all the Objectionable features of alcoholic remedies.
it is a most efficient auxiliary to the temperance
cause. One of the greatest hindrances to the tenn
perance reform at present is. think, the medical
use of alcoholic stimulants. Whatever may be ar
gued as to their necessity in certain cases, have
in the PERUVIAN SYRUP, a safe and efficient sub
sttute for those dangerous remedies. This testimo-
ny is given unsolicited, with the hope that some who
are not yet acquainted with the valuable properties
of the medicine may be induced to give it trial.
Yours truly,

WHAT DID the COUNTY AND CITY AUTHOR
TIES DO WITH 50 VAST \ SUM OF
MONEY
Elsewhere we give figures which show
that the taxpayers Of Alexander county have
paid into the county treasury, during the
ten years ending in 1877, the enormous
sum of $30l 900. What became Of the
money! is Il question that will readily sug-
gcst itself to the intelligent taxpayer, Less
than $4,000 were used in liqudating the
court mouse debt; and it il not believed that
any considerable sum OF the money was
stolen. In what manner, then was the
100000 expended? Contemplating mat
tiers rs they now cyist-a Jail quite empty,
and paupcr bills reduced to few hundred
dollars per quarter, it doesn't seem possible
that, with no roads or bridges, no public
buildings, nothing to show for it, that the
$?90,O0O could have been honestly cXpCnd-
ed. The thing looks that way but the man
who searches the county records with the
