The mortality statistics of this country
show that a great proportion of deaths
arise from Heart Disease. But aside from
the fatality which attends it. the incon-
yenience and suffering which even the
first stages bring make it necessary to
take prompt measures for relief. Un-
doubtedly the greatest remedy of mod
ern times for curing diseases of the Heart
is "Sedatine-de-India," which is accom-
plshing such wonderful results and at
tracing so much attention. This great
remedy possesses Ingredients specially
designed tor all the numerous troubles OF
the Heart. The combination is the re-
suit of long and careful experiment, and
1t can be safely asserted that when taken
in time it will cure in every case. Doyou
ever have Nightmare, oppressed feeling
in the side or breast, Irregular Action,
Throbbing, Jumping, Fluttering, Mo-
mentary Stopping, Slow Circulation OF
the Blood? These are all symptoms OF
Heart Disease. Those who are suffering

tonic for the country to the west ofus.
Wooden plows no longer answer the
purpose, and the area Of land in cul-
tivation will soon be double or treble
what il was last year. The vast piles
of lumber shipped west show that
improvements are going on rapidly
for new country, and with the
building of contemplated and as
sured railroads, the whole face of
the country to the west and south
west of us will be changed beyond
the recognition of those who will re-
member it only as they see it now )"

IMPERIAL Germany's finances are
in a bad way. From the estimates
submitted to the Reichsrath it APP
pears that during the past session or

by 100000 marks (the mark is %

cause 1t win remove him from poll
tics. What has Mr.. Lamar been
thinking about all these years that
Grant has been grandly sustained at
public expense? There is a sublimi-
ty, however, about the cheek of these
Republican stalwarts, backed by a few
unsophisticated Democrats, that is
not yet equaled. They have forced
the government to sustain Grant in
all his political schemes and aspira-

him given perpetuity in the polit-
ical field, with right to draw reg
ularly ON the public funds for means
to sustain him in his designs.

that may secure the latter distinc-
