AN AGED BAPTIST MINISTER.
Two More Important Cases.

Your agent being in Columbus Ga, few
days ago, and meeting the venerable brother
J. Fl Campbell, we asked him for the news
His reply was, II have two more important
cures effected by Swifts Specific to report. u

half OF the poor of Columbus. 1t will be re-
M mbered that the Swift Specific Co. has
donated quite an amount of their famous
medicine, to be distributed by Mr.. Camp
bell among the poor of the city; hence his
remark. He said:
II have just seen lady who has been
greatly annoyed by a letter in one of her
hands 1t had given her much trouble and
pam. She said she had been treated by
several physicians during the past three or
four years with the old remedies but with
out giving any relief. l suggested Swift's
Specific. and she took four bottles and is
now apparently perfectly well. Her hand is
smooth and not single sign of the disease
left. 1t is marvellous how this medicine
renovates the system"
What about the other case?'
We'll, that was lady also. She had been
affected with the eczema for four wears.
Her face, hands and arms, as well as her
body, was covered over with sores and
scaos. 1t was one of the worst cases of this
terrible disease that have ever seem The
suffering OF the poor creature was beyond
expression. She tried every remedy at COM
mand, including mercury and iodide of
potash, but she only grew worse. She was
in this condition when first saw the case.
soon had her taking Swift's Specific, and
she has now only taken two bottles, but
every mark of the disease has almost en-
nrely disappeared. Her strength and general
health have greatly improved. 1t is one of
the most 'emarkable cures that has come
under my observation"
"Mr; Campbell, you have had long and
varied experience in mingling with men,
and observing their Affections and the
remedies used-what is your opinion as to
the merits of Swifts specific?"
In ministry of sixty years I have
mingled with every class of Society, and have
observed closely the variety Of diseases
which atfiict humanity. Blood diseases are
the most numerous and the most difficult to
remove. It is my deliberate Judgment that
Swiit's Specific is the grandest blood
purifier ever discovered. There is nothing
comparable to 1t. There is nothing too good
to say about Swift's Specific"

France and China.

LONDON, March 2O.-St. James Gazette
says: The French government init
mated to the Chinese minister at Berlin
that it considers a renewal of peace ne
gotiations desirable. The minister re-
piled that China would never pay the
Langson affair. In view of this reply,
the Gazette concludes that If negotia-
tons for peace are resumed they will be
on the basis of the complete cession OF
Tonquin to the French China, the
Gazette says, will not permit the tempo,

The Husband Liable for the Wife's
Debts.

A few days ago THE HERALD pub
lished the particulars of the suit of
Mrs. Kinda Mckee VS.. Mr.. Wilcox, a
suit instituted to recover the value of
a cloak sold Mrs. Wilcox one day before
her marriage. Yesterday morning Judge
Zane decided in favor of Mrs. Mckee,
for the value of the coat, SIS, and
interest thereon, and the costs. The
Judge held that under the common law,
in force in this Territory, and which had
not in this particular been modified by
the Utah statutes, the husband was
liable for the wife's debts, for the reason
that all her time and earnings were his
from the date of the marriage.
