Ladies, Read s!
CUR ID!

BUXTON, Texas, January 10, 1884,
We have sold several kinds Of female tonics
and bitterS, but believe that
MOEALER'S BERLINRR TONIC,
Or BLACK HAW BITTERS,
Is better than any other kind OF toni or bit
tiers put up for Female complaints. We know
of three cases where BERLINER TONIC eff
fected a sure cure after other preparations OF
milar kind had failed; and we know OF one
case where a lady had been suffering for two
years. employing the best doctors, but without
any relief even. After she had used the first
bottle of BERLINER TONIC a mar. cd
change for the better was noticed, She has
now used three bortles. and is in a fair way OF
recovery.
We believe that BERLlNER TONIC Is the
best preparation of its kind of all kinds for Fe
male Complaints in the world, and we canno'
recommend 1t too highly to the sufferi G
female sex.
We make this statement, unsolicited, for the
benefit of suffering humanity.

POIygamy Increasing.

Times-DemOCrat
There is said to be quite boom in po-
lygamy noticeable in Utah. A great
many Congressman have opposed any in
reference with the MOrmons, on the
ground that if left alone poIygamy will
die out itself in time, but instead of this
being the case, it is decidedly and rapidly
on the increase among the MOrmOns.
The bishops and the elders of the church
are preaching it and working earnestly
to persuade the saints to take more
wives. 1t was laid down as one of the
main principles of the religion at the late
conference in Salt Lake City to be as
much married as possible. In fine, a
new revival of polygamy is under way
in the Church of Latter Day Saints, and
plural marriages are more numerous than
ever.
The explanation of this is easy. The
mass of the Mormons are homogeneous,
having only one wife apiece, because they
cannot afford to support more. 1t is the
elders who keep houses full of wives, the
rich old bishops that have accumulated
large fortunes out of the church tithes,
and who can afford this luxury.
1t is because they have a superabund-
ance of wives, because they have violated
the law, that they are trying, after the
manner of the fox without a tail, to per-
suade their homogeneous brethren to fol-
low in their footsteps. They contem-
secutiOn; they see that there are troub-
lous times ahead for poIygamists, and
fearing that they may be sacrificed, they
are providing for their own safety by in
cruising the number of law-breakers,
Congress might feel inclined, they think,
to put down the polygamists if there
were only a thousand of them, but if
there are 10000 Brigham Youngs in
Utah the task would be all the more diff
ficult, and Congress would be less dis
posed to legisIate against polygamy.
And thus the law is being openly VIC
lated, Congress defied and morality in
suited. The bOldness of the Mormon
Church, in the face of the unanimous
public sentiment of the country, is really
extraordinary. 1t proves that the time
is at hand when some lesson must be
taught the saints. Their game to in
crease and spread polygamy should be
met by even more stringent and ener-
getic legislation against them. 1t will
be great mistake to allow the Mormons
to strengthen and fortify themselves. as
they are proposing to do, by making
every Mormon a breaker of the laws,
and, therefore, compelled, for their own
protection, to oppose them. They should
be met now, and morality and civiliza-
ton indicated.

Gov. Drew takes emphatically the
position which had been ascribed to
him with reference to Gov. Blox-

lengthy interview in question sets
the matter at rest, we hope, forever.
