HEREDITARY
SCROFULA.

A RE you aware that In your blood the
~ faint Of scrofula has prominent
placer This is true of every one. 1t Is LA
BILE at any time, on the slightest provocation,
TO develop itself in some insidious disease.
Consumption and many other diseases are
outgrowths of this impurity of the blood.
HOODS SARsAPAR1LLA has a wonderful
power over all scrofulous troubles, as the re-
markable testimonials we have received
Enthusiastically prove.
MEssRs. G. I. HooD & Co.: Gentlemen
Ny youngest son has always been
troubled with Scrofulous ilumor; sores In
his head dischargng from his ears, and a rum
ming sore on the back OF his ear for two
years. his eyelids would tester and ulcerate,
discharging so that was obliged TO wash
them open every morning, his eyelashes
nearly all coming out; he was exceedingly
dainty, most of the time eating but two slight
meals a day. We We're unable to find any
thing that had the least effect upon him till
last spring, 1876, we gave him two bottles of
Hood's Sdrs0pDrHd. Hisappetitc improved

In saying word for HOODS SarSaparlla.
Sarsaparlla has been known as remedial
agent for centuries and Is recognized by all
schools of practice as valuable blood puri-
fer. 1t is put UP in forms of almost infinite
variety, but Messrs. Hood & Co., Q.owell,

value. Certainly they have vouchers of
cures which we know to be most extraor.

In last weeks Issue OF the SEN
TfNEL, the Wame of DE-. G. A. Bour
geois, of ThibOdaux, was authorl
tatively placed in nomination oe
fore the. primary election, as afcanI
didate for the Office of Coroner.
This is a n office for which Dr.. Bonr.
geois is peculiarly qualified. He
was, for two years, u resident stu
dent of the celebrated Charity Hos
pital kof New Orleans, whore the
greatest variety of surgical opera
tioDs are constantly performed by
the best surgeons in the South,
and where, besides every character
Of accident and disease are brought
for attention and treatment. The
experience gained 10 such a school
is Invaluable to a medical practitiou
er. But besides this practical study
of his profession at the bedside OF
suffering and bleeding humanity.
DIR. Bourgeois took Il three years
course in addition to medicine and
graduated in the schools of pharma
cy aud chemistry, his instructor in
the latter branch being the emf
nent President of the State Board
of Health. DR.. Bourgeois has al
ready acquired a fine reputation
for the many delicate and difficult
surgical operations which he has
successfully performed since his
settling in ThibOdaux. The voters
of the Democratic party will honor
themselves by supporting this able
aud conscientious physician for the
Coronership Of the Parish.

Great efforts are being made
by some smart Alexis to impress
upon the minds of the thoughtless
that this TRADE about the Tariff ION
Sugar is a Democratic measure.
When the Republicans had the
President and both honses of Con
gress with large majorities they
passed a law admitting Sugar from
the Sandwich islands free, in spite
of the opposition of the Democrats.
In their reign during 1888 they
lowered the tariff on Sugar.
The Mexican treaty by which So
gar is to be admitted free from
Mexico is a treaty framed by Gen.
Grant, approved by . Republican
Senate and now enforced by . Re
publican President.
Every cent that has been taken
off Of Sugar since The war has been
done by Republican Congresses
and approved by Republican Presi
dents.
Men must be not far removed
from insanity who strive to make
this reduction Of sugar tariff . De-
m~0cratic measure.
Let no Democrat or friend of
Sugar culture lay any such non
sense to his soul.
Read the history and learn the
facts Of the reduction of the Sugar
Tariff and then SIND such silly ar
guments to the Winds.

oh, yes, We remember the land
grabs and land steals very we'll.
But Governor McEnery had moth
ing to do with them, and they have
not been proven upon him by Dem
ocratic or any other evidence.
The men connected with those in
famous transactions have NO voice
in the Democratic party to day.
Tho difference between the two par
ties is, that whilst the Democratic
party has sent its planderers to the
rear. the Republicans always try to
maintain thri,s in front aud make
heroes of them.
The Democrats lay no claim to
perfection, but they can. purge their

SENSIBLE CoNCLUsIoN.-Men very often
during election times, especially Presiden
tial make some very reckless wagers, and
do some exceedingly foolish things. On
the day before the Presidential election in
1864. when Lincoln and Mcclellan were
opposing candidates, William Baker, a
wealthy Missouri farmer, was in St. Louis.
He was a strong Democrat and an ardent
admirer of Little Mac He bet several
thousand dollars on the election, and when
he could get no more bets ne called for 4
Notary Public and in the presence of a
number of friends and ncighbors took IA
solemn oath that he would never wear
hat until u Democrat was elected President.
In consequence of that foolish oath he has
been going bareheaded for the past twenty
years. At each recurring election he would
work and pray for the Democracy to win,
and when the news would come that the
Republicans were victorious, he would re-
mark, Well, | will wear hat after the
next election Several years since he came
to California, and settled in this county
His constantly being without a hat when at
home or i'll the city, rain or shine made
him an object of curiosity, and his eccen-
| tricity was remarked upon by strangers and
Others in ways very annoying to his family
Last Friday one of his sons was in the
city and returning TO the ranch informed
his aged father of the result of the Chicago
Convention. The news almost paralvzed
the old gentleman. He exclaimed: What
do you say-Blaine and Logan, too? This
is too much. There is no longer any hope
for the old man. Hitch up the mare-go
to the city and buy your old father a hat
If any one asks you what's the matter with
me, tell them the old man says he has been
making id fool of himself for twenty
years and now he is going to wear hat
and vote for Blaine
