lion were promulgated. The government fell
into dsrcpuic among the people, and the
statesman Bismarck to keep control had to go back
10 the viiianous Vaccinations OF tho second French
Empire and get up Two three bogus assassnations.
So II thought by some one, "Stop your bogus,

pretty we'll peppered, and Bismarck was sailed.
Assassination must be stopped and tho man who
