A BAPTIST MINISTER'S EXPERIENCE.

Il am Baptist minister, and before

tice for my present profession, forty years
ago. l was for many years sufferer from
quinsy. Thomas Eclectric Oil cured me.

Thomas Eclectric Oil always relieved me.
My wife and child had diphtherla, and
Thomas Eclectric Oil cured them, and if
taken in time it will cure seven times out
of ten. | am confident it is IA cure for the
most obstinate cold, or cough, and If any
one will take small teaspoonful and half
fill it with the oil, and then place the end
of the spoon in one nostril and draw the
oil out OF the spoon into the head, by sniff
fling as hard as they can, until the oil falls
over into the throat, and practice 1t twice n
week, don't care how offensive their head
may be, it will clean it out and cure their
catarrh. For deafness and earache, 1t has
done wonders to my certain knowledge. 1t
is the only medicine dubbed patent medi.

Several inquiries have been made of us
as to the law governing peddling and
hawking in this county. The act of 1916
provides that
"No person shall sell or expose TO sale
within the county of Schuylkill, as hawk
er, pedder, or travelling merchant any for
eign or domestic goods, wares or merchan
disc, under penalty of fifty dollars for eacl
and every offense, to be inflicted in the
manner provided by the act of 9th April
1883" This mode of procedure is by war
rant from Justice of the Peace, bind
ing over to court, and indictment in the
Quarter Sessions.
This act was extended to Columbi,
county by act of March 81, 1S48.

Mr.. f. B. Hartman has been secretary Of
the Agricultural Society for the past four
years. For eight years prior to that he
was assistant secretary. His duties were
always performed promptly, accurately.
conscientiously and satisfactorily, and his
many friends regret that his present situa-
tion compelled him to decline reelection.
To whatever he applies himself, he brings
intelligence, and integrity, and these with
his aifability, have made him deservedly
popular with all who are thrown in con
tact with him. Mr. Hartman is one of the
young men of the county Of wnom we ex

A new question has been raised in court
by a motion to strike off the name OF Dr.
Bower of Catawissa, from the Medical Reg
lister. The Act of Assembly requires that
any physician coming from outside this
State must get an endorsement OF the fac
ulty of medical college in the State as to
his qualifications and the .genuineness OF
his diploma, said endorsement to be made
by the Dean of the Faculty. DIR. Bowers
diploma is from Missouri medical college
and he has certificate from the Secretar!
of the Faculty of the University of Penn
sylvania, as to Its genuineness, but not as
TO qualifications. The secretary telegraphi
that the certificate given by him is intend
ed as compliance with the law. Whether
IL is or not is the question for decision.
