MEDICAL.
PROBABLY NEVER

In the history of proprietary medicines has
any article met success at home equal to that
which has been poured upon HOOPS SARsA-
rARILLA. Why, such has been the success
of this article, that nearly every family In
whole neighborhoods have been taking it at
the same time. Every week brings new evi-
dence of the wonderful curative properties OF
this medicine.

impure state of the blood.
To cure these diseases the blood must be
purified, and restored to a healthy and

for over forty years been recognized by emil
nent medical authorities as the most pow
erful blood purifier in existence. 1t frees
the system from all foul humors, enriches
and strengthens the blood, removes all traces
of mercurial treatment, and proves itself
complete master of all scrofulous diseases.

with the least disturbance to the whole sys-
tenn. In fact this preparation is so well bal
anced in its action upon the alimentary
canal, the liver, the kidneys, the stomach,
the bowels and the circulation of the blood,
that it brings about healthy action of the
entire human organism, that can hardly be
credited by those who have not seen the re-
markable results that have followed its use.
If the Sarsaparilla does not prove sufficient
ly laxative, take a few doses of HOODS VEG

GENERAL ORDERS,
Through the magnanimity and self

signed that might be his successor, and
by the too generous preference of the
honorable the members of the Board of
Supervisors, | return to my old post,
where so many years OF my life were
spent. To-day, assume command of
| the Louisiana State University and
| return with only good feeling and
| kindly wishes for all. / come back with
a determination to do my best for the
Institution, and with the fond belief
that all will give me hearty official
and personal support. With every ones
soul in his appointed work, ana with
brotIerly kindness and charity animat-
| ing us all, we should not fail: and the
University should go forward prosper
ouslyin its noble object of educating
the youth of Louisiana. We are sery-
ing a great State and great people let
MS all do our best. In humbleness of
spirit, let us work with will; and we
shall succeed.
And may we not ask the people of the
State to rally to the support of the Uni
versity True, there is noW a large
number of cadets but the number
should be much larger. We have a
good organization and an able Faculty.
Let every one give US fair chance, and
say kindly word for us among the peo-
pie; and all will he well. An active
sympathy and working interest will be
aroused that will fill the halls of the In
stitution with young men eager and
anxious to learn-striying for the light
that comes from on High.
To the alumni and ex-cadets do. we
especially look for sympathy and sup
port in our difficult charge. Without
their favor, failure awaits us. Nor do
We deserve success, if those who know
us best-our own fOster-children, have
no faith i'll us-do not love us. When
the cadets lose confidence in u.s.. the
people should condemn us. By that
standard, let us be judged.
The University has done good work
for Louisiana in the past. Hundreds of
her best citizens have been educated
within it's walls-and all devotedly at
tached to the Institution. Shall the fu-
ture differ from the past ] think not;
believe not; hope not.
] congratulate the people of Eouisi-
ana upon their good fortune in retain
ing the services OF my aOle predecessors.
One has been called to the high and
honorable duty of shaping the destinies
of the Tulane Uniyersity-he will do it
well. The other remains here with us,
to bless cadet and University alike with
his wonderful mathematical abilities
an inestimable benefit to the cadet and
a crowning glory of the University.

Precautions Against Cholera.

The Post Office Department has been
informed by the italian Government
that in view of the outbreak of Asiatic
cholera in France mails from this coun-
try intended for delivery in Italy must
be closed in tarred sacks. This appecau-
ton is regarded necessary because the
Italian mails from this country pass
through England and France by rail
way. The postmaster at New York has
accordingly been instructed to inclose
the mails in creosOted tarpaulin sacks
until the supply of tarred sacks can be
secured. Superintendent Crawford, of
the Foreign Mails Bureau, said that he
did not believe there was any danger of
an importation of cholera III the direct
mails from France, because the quaran-
tine officers at New York could be relied
upon to inspect them carefully. The
greater part of the French mail for this
country, however, comes via England,
and the department was not informed
that the English Government had
adopted precautionary measures against
the dissemination of the disease through
the mails.-Washington Post, June 30.
