Druggist and Physician.

A physician, complaining bitterly about
dull times, went TO his druggist to find out
the reason why, at this season Of the year,
his practice was not so extensive as form
eriy; also, 10 find out what Inducements
his brother medicos offered to attract away
his patients. He was startled when his
druggist answered as follows: Doctor,
coughs aud colds are very prevalent, but
every one is purchasing HALE's HONEY Or
HoREHoUND AND TAR, and RECEIVERS so
rapidly that there is no necessity for calling
10 physician. Again, the reason that Dr.
f., on til street, is having SO many pa
tents is owing to the frankness he adopted
10 prescribing in every case of coughs,
colds, etc., a bottle of HALE's HONEY OF
HoREHoUND AND TAB, and indingit sue.
cesstul, he has concluded 10 future
that all his patients. when troubled
with any disease of the lRDgs, shall imme-
date " commence taking HALE's HONEY
OF HoREHoUND AND TAI"
The druggists advice was snapped, and
the almost discouraged physician DOW is
considered successful practitioner. His
claims are based upon the virtues of the
medicine he adopts. which in all cases is
HALE's HONEY OF FOREGROUND AND TAR.

Beautiful Hair.

FROM ]. A. TYNEs, A WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C,-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with a
kind of dry letter, which kept the scalp
covered with dandruff, and caused her
hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London
Hair Color Restorer," the letter was
cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. By
telling of the effect it had Oh the head

ASKING tor More.

AS predicted by THE ARGUS, the men
who expect TO make something out of the
third party and their republican conferrees
have caused the national executive COM
mittee Of the greenback party to issue an
address to the deluded men who have been
coaxed into the movement, under the plea
that the party would oppose the corrupt
old republican party, urging them to keep
up the organization. Last nights tele-
grams, published elsewhere 10 this paper,
outlines this address 10 which it IS claimed
that the only hope for. relief is through the
third party organization. The relief these
men desire is to relieve the republican
party of the onward march of the demo
cratic party, and to elect men to congress
who shall relieve the republicans in con-
gress upon all political questions by their
votes, as was the case where all the green
hackers voted as directed by Garfield in
the contested seat from Florida, on the
second day of the present session.
We doubt very much if this repub-
lican plea to keep up the third
party organization will have any effect up
on democrats in the third party, or those
who believe that the republican party are
responsible for the evil legislation which
the honest greenbacker desires to reform,
especially In view Of the fact that the men
whom they have elected to congress have
thus early in the session shown their ale
glance to the republican party by voting as
directed by the republican leaders. VI
course the Organ in thisScity,twill echo
this republican demand to keep up the
third party organization, and endeavor, by
lying and the false assumption.that relief
cannot be obtained through the democratic
party to keep up the organization. Its OBJ
ject of course is to make all it can cut OF
the party. To this it will only
be necessary to point to what the
democrats in the house of representatives
have already done, viz: reduced the ex-
peudituTes $30,000,0OO year. since they
have had majority; remonetised silver,
making the poor mans money equal in
purchasing value to the bondholder' S
money; checking the further retirement OF
greenbacks by Secretary Sherman, thus
affording relief to the business interest Of
the country. And again what the demo
Gratis further propose, that the revolution
airy measures by which the republican
party hopes to continue itself in power
shall be repealed, thus making it impossi-
bic to use the army and the peoples money
for the furtherance Of party interests
These things are more potent than any
sophistry that can be used to keep up q
third party OrgRnization--an organization
that was Intended and came very near en-.
sbling the republicans to orGanizs the pres
eut house of representatives.

dissolved, and therefore not being liable to accu-

aperient quality.
This solution OF Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing eedative and aperent, In all
cases of irritation acidity of the stomach febtile

An ounce. or two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn aerid eructations and sourness,
irregular digestion,
The solution is Of itself an aperient, but Its axa

with 1t, or directly after ii, little lemon Juice,
| mixed with sugar and water, even with cream
| Of tartar! in this manner very agreeable efer-
yescent draught can be safely taken at any time

The antisceptic qualities of this solution, owing
to the presence Of so much carbonic acid, have
been found very valuable in putrid and other fe-
