The learned doctor says: "Keep some
kind of a tonic medicine always In the
house, and If any one feels unwell, make
free use of it. But first be sure that il is
both harmless as well as meritorious. Put
no trust in alcoholic preparations; their use
will lead to incompetence; neither be par
tal to any remedy that produces severe
cathartic effect, for prostration of the nory-
Gus system and digestive organs is sure TO
follow, The mildest and best medicine ever
invented for strengthening every part ofthe
body and restoring impaired or lost organic
functions to their normal condition, and one
which is having an unparalleled and rapidly
increasing sale in eastern states, is Browns

for you ifyou request him to do so, espcci-
ally when he finds you cannot be persuaded
to take some substitute. II does not con-

United states Treasurer Denies a Rumorod
Statement.

WASHINGTON, Nobember ga story was
circulated here this morning to the effect
that United States Treasurer Gillfllan had
said that there were counterfeit bonds in
the treasury representing many millions of
dollars, and that they were being counted
with view to selling them Mr.
Gillfllan when questioned about
II tonight denied emphatically that he
had ever said anything of the kind, He
said that during Secretary Boutwcll's adj
ministration the government had paid 500
900 for great mass of Confederate archives,
and that among them there were many
bonds which are now stored away in room
devoted to captured and abandoned
property. He did not think any one IN
nected with the government had any. right
to sell them without authorization OF con-
gress. His impression was that the bonds
were not unsigned, although he was not
positive, not having seen any OF them in
years. No examination has been made of
the bonds, papers, etc, stored away IN the
room referred to, and Secretary Gllhllan
says he has no means of knowing whether
there are few or many cupon bonds of 1867.
