WONDERFUL AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE
OF RHEUMATIsN0 wENTY YEARS STANDING.

Never in my life had SO much pleasure in do
ing any thing asi giving this certificate to the
world, and hope, may be the cause of thousands
Of my fellow cre,f ures being relieved from that
dire ,rheuG atism. My wife has been afflicted
with 1t for twenty years, most OF the time suffering
excruc1ating pa in every part of her body. Hav-
ing no appetite hatever, she was reduced to al
most q Skeleton So violent were the pains that
she seldom con sleep without taking large doses
OF opium. EVeIX joint was swelsd very much, and
her knees, hands, and neck, covered with large
Jumps. She could do no kind of work, the sinews
and muscles being so hard and contracted that her
limbs were drawn together so that she was obliged
TO be in bed constantly In this condition she had
been for twenty years, without ever getting
lief from every thing she used. until she com
menced the use of II. G. FARRELL'S ARABIAN
LINIMENT, the first bottle OF which produced q
great change She has now used five bottles, and
the swellings have nearly all gone down pain has
entirely left her; she sleeps well and soundly; is
more tleshy than ever she was in her life; has an
excellent appetite, aud spins and sews all day
By the use of few bottles more she mnst be as
well as ever she was. If any one doubts this won
derful cure, he has only to call at my residence
near Peoria, and learn the circumstance from my
wifes own lips, he can further inquire OF any or
my neighbors.

CLAMORING FOR A DIVIDEND.

The 20 600 policy holders and other claimants in
terested in the settlement of the affairs Of the Conti
mental Life Insurance Company have been endeavor-
ing for time past to compel the receiver, Mr..
John r. O'Neill, to declare q dividend out OF the
81 900 cash assets in his hands Mr.. Tobias the
representative of the receiver, when requested to
state what steps had been taken toward dividend.
:-It is not through any fault of the receiver
that the affairs Of the company not hquidated
long since. Application was made to the courts to
authorize the declaring of dividend. but, through
the exertions of small army Of lawyers. vex-
atious delays have been interposed from time to
time. These gentlemen represent persons who have
brought suits against the company for the amount of
their claims and of they afraid that if the
assets divided rata among the policy holders
there will not be sufficient amount left in the hands
OF the receiver to pay their claims There other
considerations which have also tended toward
tarding settlement with the creditors They relate
for the most part to questions of law and the policy
of insurance companies, and are:-
FUst-Whether death claims arising before the in
solvency OF the company was known should be pre-
ferred fog the face value of the policies issued?
.Second-Upon what basis shall the reserved value
be made: whether upon the Northampton Carlisle
tables Of mortality. which are on the basis Of four
and half and six per cent respectively?
Th,rd-Whether persons who died since the insol-
vency of the company reentitled to dividend upon
the face value of the policy or dividend the
served value?
Until these points are passed upon by the Court of
Appeals there will be no dividend paid any of the
claims the receiver has been enjoined from do
ing In this connection the following notice has
been sent TO the creditors:-
