A Leading Professor Speaking
of Sensible People.

DR.. S, the prominent Eastern
medical lecturer says: every day
sensible people come to me complain
ing of their health being broken down
the answer to my INQUIRIES always
are-what I surmise-nature's laws
have been totally disregarded; conse-
quently the blood, the stream of life,
becomes northumberland as a re-
suit of this blood poisoning, 1 find
dyspepsia and disordered functions of
the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys,
accompanied by headache. nervous
debility and other impaired organic
portions often verging on paralysis.
In order to keep the digestive organs
in proper health and strength, 1 and
my friends in the profession have rec
commended Browns Iron Bitters. They
act so mildny and soothingly, never
leaving any unpleasant after effects,
strengthening the organs of digestion
and permanently removing every
symptom of i'll health, languer or de-
bility. No remedy in the East sells
so fast or gives such good satisfaction
as Browns Iron Bitters, and any of
our druggists can procure it for you.
Don't be pursuaded to use substitute
because this remedy contains no al
cohol, and is the only preparation of
Iron that does not blacken the teeth.
This is a worthy recommendation of
so valuable a medicine, our readers
who are sufferers should try it.-Sun.

Let us strive to gain that blissful shore
Where parting tears will be no more.

Guiteau continues to assert that
when Mason fired at him he was stand
at the cell window with his elbows
resting on the window sill. The cell
window is so narrow that in such a
position his body would have filled
the lower part of the window through
which Mason's bullet passed to the
mark on the wall of the cell made by
the ball in striking, shows that
the ball would have passed
directly through his body, had
he been in the position he claims. 1t
is thought, therefore, that he makes
the representation mentioned for the
purpose Of creating sympathy for him
self as being in some sense a martyr.
When the course of the ball was traced
Guiteau held one end of the line in
his cell, placing it upon the bullet
mark, while the deputy warden placed
the other end upon the hole in the
window. Guiteau asked Warden
Croker recently if there had been
any demonstration against the Jail.
mo, said the warden; "the city is
perfectly quiet, and the jail is very
quiet spot on its outer edge" II am
glad to hear you say SO, said Guiteau
Il believe myself that I am safe
"Have you fixed upon council yet?'
asked the warden.
NO. was the reply. II have
thought of several lawyers, but fixed
upon no one. will select a good one
however, and in connection with my
self l think we will win the case.
There is no reason why man should
be convicted of murder who has had
no malice aforethought in his heart.
What | did was a sacred act dictated
by Heaven, for which | am not blame

not be convicted. I feel sure that
