Massachusetts, Supreme Court, writes
as follows.

Last winter / was troubled with most
uncomfortable itching humor affecting

severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my
appetite was poor, and my system a good
deal run down. Knowing the value of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, by observation of
many other cases, and from personal use
in former years, began taking 1t for the
above-nanled disorders. My appetite. inn
proved almost from the first dose. After
q short time the fever and itching were
allayed, and all signs of irritation of the
skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough
were also cured by the same means, and
my general health greatly improved, until
it is now excellent I feel 81 hundred per
cent stronger, and / attribute these results
to the use of the SARsAPARILLA. which

these facts at your service, hoping their

The above instance is but one of the many
constantly coming to our notice, which prove
the perfect adaptabilty of AYERS SARsA-
PARILLA to the cure of all diseases arising
from impure or impoverished blood. and

If disease has entered the system the only way
to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.
To this end, as is acknowledged by al medical

THE million aires of New Y FORK city

q cent. Some strange freak has come
over these men who carry the govern

deep laid scheme in view it does not ap.
pear on the surface. They think Moth
ing of leaning one another five or ten
millions for pocket change during the
evening after banking hours without
taking a memorandum for its return,
but they will so into the tobacco $ tore
and buy clay pipe for a half cent and
insist upon the shopxeeper making the
exact change. Superstitieus people i'm
agine there is some calamity behind this
but cannot divine what it is. 1t would
be good thing If they would come down
to the plane of the common people in a

out of reach Of the poor, causes many a

The make up of the committee on ways
aud means indicates tedious fight on
the tariff question during the present
session of congress. While the committee
represent all shades of opinion majority
have pronounced views in favor of tariff
reduction and will no doubt, at an early
day, report bill in accordance with their
views. The passage of such bill is By
no means an assured fact, for there are
many indications that party lines will not
be drawn on the vote. The bearing that
the tariff question will have upon politics
is hard to determine. That it will to q
greater or less extent, enter into the ap-
preaching presidential campaign is an
assured fact. 1t may be the means Of
breaking the s'solid South" Or itmay
be the means of splitting the old parties
so that the candidate of third party may
carry off til cprize. The business inter.
csts of the country demand a speedy set
tIement ef the question and it is to be
hoped that the battle will prove short,
sharp and decisive.
