!" Has been more destructive to human
health and life than war, pestilence and
famine e~olnbined." so said a distinguished
writer many years ago, and 1t is as true to-
day as then. The poor victim OF Blood
Disease is drugged with Mercury to cure
the malady, and then dosed with iodides to
cure him of the Mercurisl Poisoning; but
instead of any relief, the first breaks down
his general health and makes him a cripple,
and he other ruins his digestive organs.
To those afflicted in this way Swift's Spe-
cifc is the creates boon on earth, and is
worth mJre than its weight in gold. 1t an
tidotes this Mercurisl Poison, tones up the
system, and brings the sufferer back to

means take a thorough course OF this
remedy.

Mn. PARNEIL was interviewed at
Paris by a newspaperman q few
days ago. He declared on his
honor that three out Of the ten
men recently executed in ireland
were entirely innocent Of the
crimes laid to their charge. He
said he had no hope that the
Gladstone government would suc-
ceed in pacifying ireland, events
snch as the Phoenix park murders
and the recent dynamite explo-
sion having SO excited the public
mind as to prevent any peaceful
solulion of the difficulties. Mr..
ParneIl declared that the land
leagne was as innocent Of the Lon
don explosion as Of the Phoenix
park crime, and ascribed both TO
the rash and wicked action of men
who were in reality the worst enc
mics Of the Irish cause.

THE EcHo haa received an ap-
/ peal to the public for aid 10 Tie
Charity Hospital At New Orleans.
This aid is not asked for the ordi-
mary expenditures or general run
ming expenses ol the institution
Ebut to increase its accommodations
and capacity for the care Of the
sick, BY adding another story to
the present building and to make
absolutely necessary sanitary in-
provements. The doors OF this
institution are open at all times to
the sick, the lame and the wound
edof oil nations, creeds and colors
without distinction. The hospital
Is now overcrowded and patients
are constantly arriving, so that it
necessary to enlarge the building
Of turn away the distressed. There
are charitably disposed people all
over this portion Of Louisiana who
will certainly respond to an appeal
Tor such an object as this. Re-
mittances may be made to George
Nicholson, Of the Picayune; Numa
Dnfour, Of the Bee; Or to Jacob
