Quite q number Of our citizens are in
Chicago, probably 10 attendance at the
trial of John Gregg, IN connection with the
McArthur-post-offce affair. Gregg's con-
nection with the affair seems to haYe been
more one of negligence of the lawful rules
Of the department than of acriminal char
acter and to have he been used by the.realy
guilty parties. Among those of our citi-
zens vino went up on Thursday night were,

Advice to Consumptives.

The celebrated physician, DR.. Paul Me-
meyer, gives the following valuable sug-
gestions to persons suffering from lung
affections: The patient must with scru-
pulous consclentiousness insist upon breath
that the air of closed rooms is always more
or less bad. No man. however
uncleanly, would drink muddy. dirtv
water. A party which occupies a room for
hours, breathing the same air, might be
com pared to party of bathers drinking
the water in which they battle. The patient
must keep the window of his bedroom
open. Night air is fresh air without day
light. In close, crowded rooms, the patient
suffering from lung complaints breathes
consumptively." By taking these precau-
tons and using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, fully one-half of the cases Of lung
com plants would be cured In six months.
For cough and irritation OF the lungs do
not always indicate the presence of con-
sumption although it may result in that
disease, and if consumption has already
become deeply seated in the system, this is
the most efficient course of treatment that
can be pursued outside of any institution
that provides special facilities for the
treatment of this disease. DR.. Pierce's
celebrated Invalid's Hotel Is such an insti-
tuition. Send stamp for descriptive PAM
phlet containing also q complete treatise
upon consumption, explaining it's causes,
nature and the best methods of treating it,
together with valuable hints concerning
diet, clothing, exercise, etc., for consump-
tives. Address Faculty of IHValids' and
