The Revolution Complete.

Twelve months ago public opinion was
devided as to the merits of the various
advertised medicines for Coughs and
Colds. All doubts upon this important
subject seem to be now at an end. The
unparalleled success of HALE's HONEY oF
HoREHoUND AND TAR has settled the
question. 1t is in evidence that in upward
of five thousand cases of Lung and Throat
Com plants it has not failed in "a single
instance to effect cure. The result is a
demand for the article that has no prece-
dent 10 the history of proprietary medi
cines. Sold by all druggists at so cents
and 81. Great saying by buying large
size.

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, at first local, and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach of mere local remedies
B. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thgs poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhoea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoea
and Consumption,
3. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations, and
lnsoluble snuffs, cannot possibly remove in
fectious infammations from the organs named
6. That an Fantidote ior Catarrh must pos
sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.

Hon j. A. Bently. Commissioner of Pen
sions, has completed his annual report to
that on the 30th of June last there were
242. 755 persons In the United States re-
ceiving pensions from the government.
The pension list Is now larger than at
any previous time. The present list is
composed of l25. $50 army invalid
pensioners. 81 ia army widows, children
and dependent relatives. l,S44 navy in
valids. ,772 navy, etc.; | 62l surviving
soldiers OF the war of 1912, and 81, 1874
widows of deceased soldiers Of that war.
During the year 81 ,346 new names were
added to the list, and 908 names. which
had previously been dropped from the
rolls, mainly from failure for three years
20 claim their pensions, were restored
l3, ,497 were for various reasons drop
ped. The aggregate amount of one
year pension to all pensioners on the roll
| is $25 493, 1918 but the actual annual
payment exceeds that sum by several mil
lon dollars. This arises from the fact
that nearly all newly admitted army and
navy cases have several years accured
pension dues at the time of admission
which is paid at the first payment dur
ing the year. The first payment to
new pensioners amounted to $5. ,758,
of which 81, 375 174 was paid TO army and
navy invalids. widows, etc. and 81. .388,7ll
to survivors and widows of the war OF

as nearly as can now be estimated. as
follows: So, 900. 900 on army pensions and
$50 600 on navy pensions, which should
be provided for in order that pension:

HOWEVER willing the people
might be to surrender corporations,
and all the aiders and abettors of
corporations, to the revengefnl pas
sIons of the Sand Lot, there are
two conspicuous surrenders to cor
porations in the new Constitution
on which we propose to comment
at some length. We allude to the
chapters which relate to cities of
over one hundred thousand inhabi-
tants and which create the Board
of Railway Commissioners. The
fiction involved in employing the
plural number when special and
demagogic legislation with regard
to San Francisco was contemplated
was unworthy of any legislative
body. There is only, and there is
only likely to be, one city of one
hundred thousand Inhabitants in
California. The chapter on cities
was intended as sop to the Sand
Lot Cerberus, and we think we can
make apparent the fact that tre-
mendous and disastrous innovation
on existing institutions is cloaked
by il.

Not Symptoms, but he Disease.

1t would seem TO be truth appreciable
by all, and especially by professors OF
the healing art, that to remove the dis
case, not TO alleviate its symptoms,
should be the chief aim of medication.
Yet in how many instances do we see
this truth admitted in theory ignored in
practice. The reason that Hostetter's
Stomach Bltters is so successful in so
many cases, with which remedies pre-
viously tried were inadequate to cope, is
attri butable to the fact that 1t is a medi-
cino which reaches and removes the
causes of the various maladies to which
IL is adapted. Indigestion, fever and
ague, liver complaint, gout, rheumatism,
disorders OF the bowels, urinary atiec-
tions and other maladies are not palliat-
ed merely, but rooted out by 1t. 1t goes
to the fountain head. IL is really, not
nominally, radical remedy, and 1t en-
dcws the system with an amount of vigor
which is its best protection against dis
eQSe.
