temperance.

The people of this county, as well as those
of other localities. are becoming aroused on
the temperance question. and active meas
ures are being devised to abate the evil of
intemperance We believe that Michigan
has one of the best laws for the regulation
of the liquor traffic. of any state in the
Union. and that it will be found TO be more
etectual than any prohibitory statute. 1t
will be we'll for the cause of temperance if
its advocates do not neglect the means which
the Legislature have placed within their reach.
while following after some visionary or Chi
merical scheme that may not result any
more fayorably for the temperance cause than
did the twenty years of prohibition which
we had from 500 To 1875. All who remem-
Der those years know that there was, prac-
ticslly, no restraint OH the traffic. that the
prohIbitory law was a dead letter OH the
statute books, wholly unenforced, except
spasmodically, i'll now and then some small
village. II is possible that prohibition might
succeed now better than il did then, but the
experiment, if tried. will. at best, be of
doubtful erpediency and utility.

A BRAVE LADY.
She Endures the Pam of Severe Surgical
Operation Without Taking Chloroform.
(From the Courler.)


Mrs. Shoemaker, OF Greek Locks, Ulster Co.,
N. Y, had the misfortune to entirely lose the
sight OF one OF her eyes, through an accident,
and endured painful iuhammatory action there
in for two long years: the other eye finally
becoming alphabetically affected, her general
health seriously suffering: indeed she was
mere wreck, q walking skeleton. In this terri
BILE strait che consulted DR.. David Kennedy.
OF Rcndout, n. Y, who told her at once that
the injured eye must be removed. She quietly
but firmly said: "All right, Doctor but don't
give me chloroforp. Let my husband sit by
my side during the operation, and will neither
cry out or STIR" The work was done, and the
poor woman kept her word. Talk OF soldierly
courage! This showed greater pluck than it
takes to fire a hundred guns. To re-
store her general health and give tone aud
strength TO the system, DIR. Kennedy then
gave the "Favorte Remedy" which cleansed
the blood and impaired new life to the long
suffering woman She rapidly gained health
and strength, and is now well. The "Favorite
Remedy" Is priceless blessing 10 women. No
family should be without it, Your druggist
