Prntnct the Dead.

1t is little known to the people of this country
that a system of grave robbing is carried on to q
very large and remarkable extent throughout all
the States, and such is The demand for sub
jects' that it has become a business which is
now followed by professionals whose system of
operations is reduced to a science. The almost
daily reports of their devastations which we see
in the public prints are fully verified by the
CHASTITY annual statistics which tell of the thou
sands and thousands of graves that are every
year d~espoiled in almost all parts of the United
States; and when it is considered that these ac=
counts cover only the robberies that are discov-
cred and become advertised to the public, and do
not touch the almost numberless cases that re-
main for a time or forever undisclosed, matter
for the most serious consideration is presented.
The number of medical colleges now scattered
throughout the country is very large, and what
few bodies the poor-houses furnish these colleges
are a very small proportion of what they use,
and, besides, medical students are not satisfied
with pauper subjects. No community is secure
from the grave-robber. No grave, however
humble, or however distinguished, without re
gard to location, is free from the hands of the
despoiler, and especially is a grave in danger if
the occupant died of any peculiar disease.
Graves will be robbed so long as there are medi-
cal colleges, and there are plenty of ghouls
always on hand ready TO undertake the job.
The only absolute protection from this nefarious
business is a grave vault that will meet all the
requirements. Such a vault (of which you see a
cut on another page of this issuel is now manu-
featured and sold very extensively by the
Springfield Manufacturing Company, of Spring
field, o. These vaults, wherever introduced,
have become very popular. They are made of
iron, are a trife heavier than a metallic casket,
and the bolts and locks are all concealed, so that
when once closed no grave-robber will ever open
them. A branch house has been established by
the manufacturers in Indianapolis, at u North
Illinois street, and any one calling there can see
and examine the vaults for themselves.

their officers three times in the short session of
sixty days. Before the election they pledged the
people that they would submit certain c%onstitu-
tional amendments, some of them Of great inn
portance, to the people, but they violated their
pledges. For years the people had been crying
out against the exorbitant fees allowed officers in
some counties, and had, by an overwhelming
ton giving to the Legislature the powor TO regu-
late these fees. Not a move did the Democratic
Legislature make toward carrying into effect this
expressed will of the people. These things have
not been forgotten by the people, nor will they
be soon.

Three more members of the Berner jury

Indiana has just tried a Democratic Legisla-

be In haste to try another. It's record still
stinks in the ~nostrils of the public. For sixty
days it did nothing but scheme and plan to get
control of offices that party workers might be
awarded. The very first bill introduced was for
that purpose, 1t made the the benevolent insti-
buttons a trading post for spoils. Law after law
was enacted legislating men out of office that
their places might be filed with party henchmen
Nothing was safe from their greed. To make
places for party bummers they robbed Indian
apolis of her right to choose her own police men.
To do this they reeklessly sacrificed the appro-
~priation bills and all other necessary Legislation.

ARE DREAMS PROPHETIC?
Some Instances in Point-HowP Predictions
Nav be Defeated!

Ten days before his death Lincoln
the White House, "killed by the hand of
an assassin" When his wife heard of the
tragedy she exclaimed: His dream was
prophetic!' The majority of dreams, how
ever, are never fulflled-fhey are too fam
tastic, or they are solved by contrary
events. People are often possessed of the
idea that they shall soon die. They find
themselves the subject of strange feelings.
They know they are not what they once
were, and as they approach certain ages
they are quite sure they will not "be long
of Garth" These impressions Us a rule are
the result of an Imagination disordered by
disease, but they can be shaken off by
prompt and thorough measures. We are
vented; indeed, half the deaths are said to
be p~reventable! Hence the Importance Of
always acting promptly in every personal
emergency.
These thoughts find apt illustrationi in the
case of Justice William Moul, of West
For years he was plagued by forebodings
that he was doomed to an early death. He
had dull and fitting pains in various parts
of the body, his complexion vas bad, his
appetite was variable; he felt weary with
out known cause, was constantly consti-
pated, his tongue was heavily coated, and
frequent feverish disorders appeared. He
struggled manfully but in vain against
what seemed to be a certain doom. Then
follOwede extreme tenderness and pain in
the back, great lassitude, gravellydeposits
in water, which was dark, frothy and odor-
Gus, all indicating liver and kidney disor-
ders. These developments alarmed him,
especially since physicians did him no
good. About giving up in despair, he fol-
lowed the counsel of one of the Supreme
Court Justices to use DR.. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy (of Rondout, N. Y.,) as
an experiment. He did so and the fore
bodings vanished! 1t scattered all his bad
feelings, revived his appetite, restored his
liver and kidneys, renewed his blood, in
creased his weight by twenty pounds, and
to it alone he gives the credit of saving his
life.
Dreams and warnings and forebodings of
early death need not always be fulfilled if
proper measures are promptly taken to de-
feat them.
