mistaken for Consumntion.

We have known persons to doctor
for years for consumption, all to no
effect. Though they had a cough,
felt pains in the lungs, were depressed,
weak, with many other symptoms
tending to that disease, yet there was
no structural unsoundness of the
lungs. These symptoms were all the
painful offsprings of a torpid and dis
eased liver. We could fill volume
with testimonials Of thousands so af-
fected, who were permanently cured
by taking Simmons Liver Regulator.

4 Smile Of Satisfaction.

This from the Cleveland (Ohio)
Penny Press, carries its own sugges-
ton: Recently meeting Mr.. HI. G.
Keffer, treasurer Of the Cleveland Her
aid, our representative inquired of
that gentleman, after stating his mis-
sion, if he knew anything about the
Great German Remedy, ST. Jacobs
Oil. A smile played across Mr.. Kef-
fer's expressive face and his eyes
twinkled merrily. as he replied in the
affirmative, | will not refuse to state
my experience with it, and you may
use it as you think BEST Four years
ago | sprained one of my ankles, an
accident which, as you are aware, en-
tails much suffering and sometimes
leaves the limb in a condition to re-
mind one frequently Of the old hurt
Unfor unately this result ensued.
Whenever the weather became damp
or my system absorbed the slightest
cold my ankles panied me. This went
on at intervals for over three years,
and [ could not obtain relief. Last
winter | applied the st. Sacobs Oil
and it completely cured me. I have
not since felt return of the pain.

The following extract from
the Virginia Spirit of the Valley
is most sensible and true:
mot only in Virginia, but in
the whole South, the people
have done too little relative to
pub ic affairs. They have been
content to leave all matters of
government to "ruling class"
and this class has governed ac-
cording to its own arbitrary will,
for the preservation of its own
power and ascendancy, without
regard to the rights, the wants
and the interests of the masses.
The time of this class rule in
Virginia is, we trust, forever
ended; and we hope ere long to
to see the rule of the people, so
auspiciously begun in Virginia,
extending everywhere in the
South. The great need of the
South is for the people to come
to the front, and for their Bour-
bon masters to go to the rear.
The grand idea of the equality
of opportunity" must be made
prominent and permanent, and
every poor boy in the South, no
matter how lowly and humble
his position, must be taught to
know and feel that to him all the
avenues to wealth and position,
to place and power, are open,
and that by energy, industry
and sobriety he may walk there
in. That hereafter manhood,
with all the word implies, and
not class or caste or blood, is to
be the passport to success, to
fame, position and honorable re-
cognition; that manhood is to be
the great ruling power of the
future.
