the Conqueror."
Mr.. CHARLES WEEDEN, Of 461 Pine street,
Providence, r. l., says =" During the past
twenty years have been great sufferer from
n very lame back, which supposed was caused
by Rheumatism or Neura lgia. About six
years ago had severe sickness from bowel
disorder, and was obliged to call doctor, ana
while being treated by him he informed me
that he had discovered symptoms of Kidney
Disease, but he gave me no medicine for IL,
and / suffered on from the aches and pains
which were increasing constantly, and for
which l applied plasters and linimonts in un-
limited quantities, but obtained no porma-
nent relief.
about three months since | was complain
ing to friend of my aches, pains, and troub-
les, and he urged me to try Hunts Remedy,
as he knew of some remarkable cures of Kid
ney Diseases effected by its use. decided to
try it, and began to take it, having but very
little faith that it would relieve me, as j am
in my seventicth year. but to my great do
light before l had taken the contents of the
first bottle my lame back was better, the pains
had disappeared, and my health was improved
every way. / sleep better, and have an ex-
cellont appetite, and notwithstanding my ad-
vanced age am able to attend to business daily.
/ greatly regret that / did not take Hunts
Remedy when l was first troubled with the
lame back, as 1 fully believe that II would
have saved me from nearly twenty years of
suffering. / am no believer in patent medi-
cines (or quack medicines, rs most of them
are rightly called), but when such valuable
and reliable medicine as Hunts Remedy is to
be obtained l am glad to testify to its great
merits in the highest terms, and l cheefully
recommend it to all who are afflicted with
Kidney Diseases"

The First General Census I'm India.

The work of tabulating the first general
census ever taken in India is about completed.
In an area of 1,372,5 ,55s square miles, or a lit
tie over one third of that of the United States,
there is a population of 253,s9l, ,S2l, or over
five times the population Of the United States.
There are nearly as many dwelling places in
India as people in this country. The males
exceed the females by about 100000. Much
trouble was experienced in getting the ma
tives to answer questions concerning their
condition, and the military authority
was in some cases called in, but out
of population of over 22S,0O0,O0O there were
found to be 20,93S,6 ,626 confessed widows, the
percentage TO the Hindoo population being
1871, and TO the Mohammedan religion 1888,
The percentage of widows in England is l.22
and in Italy 2.71. The reason of this abun-
dant crop in India is the law that widows
cannot marry again. OF this vast horde Of
people but $4,000, 900 can read and write, and
but A, 300 900 are under instruction. The doc
trine of exclusive salvation with dubious
