made the largest and most expensive

that its members will find some trouble
in defending the extravaganza of the trip

and examined two hundred witnesses.
The committee visited the Yosemite val

that the whole history of their travels
has been but the history Of a carouse.'

Horehound and Tar.

It Invariably Cures Coughs, Colds,
Uoarseness, Sore Throat, Asthma, Group,
and other Affections of the Breathing Or
gans.
Its soothing influence upon the irrita-
ted lining of the air passages, is due 10
the fact that its ingredients are the most
cflicacious pulmopio simples known 10
medical botany, the basis of the article
being the HONEY OF the HoREuoUND
PLANT, chemically united with the me-
dicinal principle of the ABIES BAISAMEA,
or Balm of Gilead. There are besides,
five other botanic elements which give
additional efficacy to the first named two.
Those who have used it, say that HALE :

where the organs of respiration are aHSc'-
ed, but also that its action l. unusually
rapid. a few doses frequently serve 10

tains nothing that cen disorder the stOm-
ach, fact that can be alleged with truth
of but few Cough remedies; it has an eX-
tremely agreeable flavor, and IS sold ut

limited means to avail themselves OF It's
virtues.
1t is simple madness to tGitie with

tritling and easily conqueraole difficulty
in those organs to-day, may i'll few weeks
develop into Bronchitis or COnsumpuon,
two diseases which carry more victims TO

list of bodily disorders.
A Cough may be fifty termed the Pre-
liminary Stage of Consumption, a maiady
of which HALE's HONEY OF HoREuoCNp
AND TAR is the surest known preventive.
Those, therefore, who would arrest the
