ooh, if had only received it before, |
am confident it would have cured me-"
These impressive words were spoken by 4
gentleman in the last stages of Consump-
ton, who on his death bed, had received
a bottle of IIac's Honey of Horehound
and Tar, and had taken only part of it,,
when he found he could breathe with al
most perfect ease; his cough had left him,
but not having commenced the article in
time, his constitution was broken, and he
had not sufficient strength leftto overcome
the disease. Therefore, the public will
see the necessity of keeping this article
constantly in the house, ready for imme-
date use, as it is certain cure for all
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Difficult
Breathing, and all Affections of the Throat

hard, dry cough with its usual acconpani-

ing my nervous system, and producing
such debilitated state of health that, at
ter trying medical aid to no purpose,I had
given up all hopes of ever recovering, as
had also my friends. At this stage Of
matters | was prevailed upon through the
influence of a neighbor to try WISTAR'S
BALSAM though with no belief whatever
in its truly wonderful curative properties
and before using two bottles the effect was
magical. My cough entirely left me, the
night sweats DIES 9rted me, hope once more
elevated my depressed spirits, and soon
had attained my wonted strength and Wig

t.bies were removed, seats arranged, we
wsre all called into the main hall again.

A New VIEW OF DIsRAELI AND ENGLAND
England is governed by romance. An Ori-
entail chap, very much of the mental COM
position of Oakey Hall, has got into power
there by a lifetime of servility to the more
ignorant political party. He survived long
enough TO control. He will live long
enough, perhaps, to ruin. England sbeing
led into costly and conscienceless warfare
in Asia from no higher motive than jeal
ousy-jealousy of the logical and Chris ian
course of Russia which is expanding on
her own lines of progress. spreading >nt-
ward and redeeming Asia from her op-
pressive theocra ic institutions Every lie
lost or taken by England in Afghanstan is
murder. The pretense of his war is as hol-
low as Louis Bonaparte's when he invaded
Germany because Prince of lIohenzollern
had been suggested to rule Spain. The
time has come when war, like any other
grade of manslaughter, must be indicIed
England and Austria are the two reactiona-
ry powers of Europe. The arstocratic SEN
timent is equally barbarous in them. The
operations of England in Asia have been
unattended with a single moral victory, and
there never was shadow of right in Eng
lands possession there at all.-LGraphic.
