On meeting a friend the first inquiry
is always regarding his health. Why?
Because health is of the first considera-

theatre, regardless of weak lungs and
hacking cough. Discard some Of the

theatre-going, cigar-gmoking, &c1 and

A Great Wrong.

We notice in many of our exchanges
advertisements of Patent Medicines
which profess TO be a cure for yellow f.
yer. This is all wrong, ard mere trif-
ling with human life for gain. Yellow
fever should be promptly treated by a
physician and when possible by one who
who is acquainted with the constitu-
tional characteristics of the patient. 1t
is, however, a well known fact that a
person whose blood and liver are in a
healthy condition are much less liable
to contract the disease than one with
impure blood and a disordered liver.
We, therefore, advise all of our readers
to prevent this dreadful disease by puri-
flying their blood and giving healthy 40.
ton to their liver by timely use of DR.,
Harris Blood and Liver Pills, the best
known agency for the purpose.

anecdote of General jackson. when, as
military commander In Florida during
the administration of President Monroe,
he had tried at drumhead court mar
tial and hanged two Englishmen who
had melted, it was said. an Instruction
among the Indians. President Monroe
feared that Great Britain would make
trouble about this, and summoned the
general to Washington before the cabi-
net. John Quincy Adams, then Secre-
tary Of State, who had INSTRUCTED Jack
son to govern with a lirm hand in Flor
ida, defended him and read long argu.
ment in which he quoted international
law as expounded by Grotius, Vattel
and Puffendorff Jackson listened in
sullen silence, buhin the evening, when
asked at dinner party whether he was
not comforted by Mr.. Adams citation
Of authorities, he exclaimed: "What do
I care about those old musty chaps? p

And feel life wore its highest charm.
