MANY DOLLAR formerly spent on
expensive Sulphur Baths is now saved
by substituting therefore GLENN S
SULPHUR Soar, which is just as bene-
fetal but infinitely cheaper. Local
diseases of the skin. rheumatism and
and gout are all relieved by this stan
dard remedy. Complexional blemish-
es are eradicated by it, and it imparts
to the cuticle pearly whiteness and
and velvety softness which greatly
enhance the effect of female charms.
Its soothing, antiphlogistic action con-
stitutes it a prime remedy for sores,
ulcers, cuts. sprains, scalds, bruises,
and in fact every abnormal condition
of the cuticle attended by infamma-
ton, swelling or itching. Ladies
moving in our best society speak its
beautifying properties in enthusiastic
terms, and give it decided preference
to cosmetics which merely conceal but
do not, like GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP,
eradicates defects of complexion. The
use of ointments for eruptive com.
plants is to be deprecated because OF
their having tendency to clog the
| pores and in some cases to aggravate
rather than remedy the disease. They
are, besides, seldom thorough enough
in their effects to prevent the recur
renee of eruptions of all inYeteratt
type, and have the disadvantage oil
soiling the linen of persons who us,
them. GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP, Oh th'
contrary, shll further recommend
itself on account of its cleanliness. |
lis besides, an admirable disinfectan
of clothing which has been worn b,
persons afflicted with diseases of con
tagious nature. AS a specific proven
tive and promoter of general health i
presents advantages of the most un
equivocal description.

THE RAILROADS.

SARATOGA, Aug. %. AT the opening
OF the examination of President Jewett
before the Railroad Committee this morn
ing, he was asked if the Receivership of
the Erie Railway Company did not termi-
nate when the new company was formed
with himself as President, This Mr..
Jewett declined to answer and con-
troversy arose. which caused something of
sensation in tie committee rooms. Mr.,
Jewett. in declining to answer, made
statement relative to his understanding of
the character of the investigation He
charged that the counsel Of McHenry was
present and that it had been announced in
the newspapers that this counsel was en-
gaged to assist in carrying on the invests
CATION. This fact, and the statement
made earlier in the day, that the commit
tee and counsel were in accord as to the
scope Of the investigation, led him Jew
| etD to infer that other motives than that
OF obtaining information for the LegisIa-
| ture were actuatiDg them. He said he
should decline to answer such questions
as tended to elicit information that could
be used to his detriment in the suits pend
ing with McHenry. The heated language
10 the controversy drew to the apartment
crowded audience Hepburn took occa-
sion to defend the object of the invesuga-
tlon and to explain why counsel had been
employed to assist the committee. Ia the
end Jewett answered the Objectionable
question by saying 10 substance that the
court had not seen fit to discharge the re-
ceiVer.
