A BELL. PUNCH TAx-Mr. Brooks
offered in the New Y ork Assembly
a resolution intended to substitute
the Mottett liquor law of Virginia
for the law Of 1875 in New York
city. Tt is tho opinion of the
author of the resolution that since
S;G0,000,000 worth of liquors are
alleged, on competent authority, to
be sold over the bars of New York
city yearly, a tax on every drink
registered by the Moffett punch
would yield an immense annual
revenue to tho city treasury, and
operate bcneiicially in other ways.
Hc thinks tho law would be popular
with liquor dealers, inasmuch as it
requires consumers to pay cash for
every glass at the time when it is
drunk, and that would tend to kill
off low grog shops whore poisonous
liquors are now sold at low prices,
which would be increased by the
tax.

Never In my life have had so much pleasure in do
ing any thing as in giving this certificate to the
world and hope it may be the cause of thousands
of my fellow creatures being relieved from that
dire disease, rheumatism My wife has been afflicted
with 1t for twenty years, most of the time suffering
excruciating pains in every part of her body Hav-
ing no appetite whatever, she was reduced to al
most skeleton. So violent were the pains that
she seldom could sleep without taking large doses
of opium. Every joint was swelled 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 anyre-
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 a
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 fieshy than ever she was in her life; has an
excellent appetite, aud spins and sews all day.
By the use of a 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 further inquire of any Of
