We do not often make any editorial mention
of the proprietary medicines advertised IN
our columns, but we believe it to be duty
we owe to our readers to call their attention
to the advertisement of DIR. J. c. Ayers Ague
Cure which appears in this issue of our paper
We know from sad experience that nothing
is more disheartening than the insldlous ap,
proaches and periodical attacks Of malariai
and miasmatic disorders. The remedy pre-
pared by DIR. Aver & Co. has been IN use
many years, and has proved positive
antidote for disorders of this nature. 1t Is,
withal, safe and harmless one to take. being
composed entirely of vegetable ingredients
without either quinine or minerals. unlike
other so-called Ague Cures, and consequently
incapable of producing the deplorable effects
which follow the use of these drugs Our
Western people owe debt of gratitude to
DR.. Aver for tine production of this valuable
medicine. Its timely use will save much
suffering, and we recommend it with the
greatest confidence in its ability to do all
that is promised for it.-4tkins, Ark, News.

FROM NEW YORK.
The Feeling in This City in Resardin
The Presidents Condition.
Short Interview With DIR. Hamilton.

New YORK, August %. The Telegram
extra prints the following from Washington
this morning:
As soon as the President awOke this morn
ing, a hot poultce of flax seed was applied
to the neck. There is great desire low tc
prevent suppuration Of the parotid gland.
The effect of abscess upon the brain is much
dreaded. Already during the night there
was a slight alteration of the mind, appar-
ent in muttering, while awake.
The pulse when last taken, about A. M
had fallen to lO2. Pepticised beef in very
small quantities were administered through
the mouth at ) A. NJ, and was retained. The
Presidents mind when he awOke at that
hour was clear, but his mental and physical
lassitude was greater than at any time in his
long struggle for life.
The same dispatch says there seems to be
the conviction in the minds of all in this
CITY, that the long struggle of the President
for life will soon be brought to close. His
mind wanders, his stomach rebels, his
blood is poisoned by the intiamed parotid
gland. Sleep was denied him last night
Crowds were around the hotels and in the
neghborhood of the White House all night,
and at an early hour this morning. The
anxiety Of the people became feverish to-day
anu tUeTe Is very lutelllStHCc VI
character to encourage any brighter feeling
People on the streets this forenoon wore
very gloomy cOuntenances as they read the
morning papers account of the President:
condition. There is an increased anxiety
observable in the crowds who gather around
the bulletin boards.
Extras have appeared on the streets with
gloomy dispatches from Washington, and
the public eagerly buy them. There does
not appear to be any undue excitement, but
their faces have grave expressions. Or
Wall street the money stock market is said
to be downward.
DIR. Frank Hamilton said that the symp
toms of the President this morning are un
favorable, but while they are serious
they are not of such character as to indi
cate any immediate danger. The vomiting
DIR. Hamilton said, is caused by flow OF
mucous from the salivary gland into the
throat, and not from any gastric trouble or
blood poisoning.
In your opinion Doctor, what is the out
look at the present?
think the President improved little to-
day. He has taken and retained his nour
ishment.
Well, what particular kind Of nourish-
ment are you giving him?
Same as heretofore. Kroumiss and mill
porridge?
Does the patient appear to relish it?
Oh yes; he asked for it this morning, yol
know.

DIR. Bliss, at 4 P. NJ, said to the represen-
tative of the Associated Press that the Presl-
dent has had much more favorable after
ternoon than yesterday and was doing fairly
we'll. He continues to swallow nourishment
in the shape of milk porridge and koumiss
without difficulty and has in the opinion OF
the surgeons had food enough to-day to sus-
tain his strength. He suffers no further an
noyance from the secretions of mucous IN his
throat and is entirely free from pain tie
asked Dr. Bliss this afternoon what he
thought of his condition and the doctor re-
Piled that if he could keep down nourish-
ment enough he would go through all right:
The President the inquired how long it would
be, if he should make favorable progress,
before he could take a trip on steamer or
90 to Mentor The doctor could not, how
ever, give him definite reply None OF the
Presidents symptoms are worse this after
noon and some of them are better. His con-
dition continues critical but his attendants
thinks there is more reason tor encourage
ment.

II has been estimated. with an approx
nation probably to accuracy, that the rail-
road system of the entire world embraces
i05. 900 locomotives. representing $4,000,
900 horse power. The steam engines,
stationary, in vessels. and others. are es-
timated at $4,000. 900 horse power. II
we admit that the nominal steam horse
power corresponds to the effective labor
of three draught horses. and that the
draught horse produces the labor Of seven
men. we shall find that the steam engine
actually represents the labor Of n thous-
and million Of men.

1t has not occurred at any other time and

The swelling of the parotid gland remains

that there is no greater cause for alarm now
