Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr.. David Elaypool, formerly Sergeant
at-Arms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes ihe following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungswe 80 weak raised blood. Nobody
thought could live. My work (ship-
smithing)wa very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
TO the grave. While in this condition
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and II saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get Il in this little place, and
had improved 80 much, stopped taking IL
for time, and the result is that have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishlers Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and / must have q
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and IL any one wants
20 lie convinced of It's truth, let them write
me and I will make affidavit TO il, for I
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhna, dyspepsia, Indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that II contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; a standard medicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists These are four strong points in favor
Of Mishlers Herb Bitters. Mishlers Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price 81 90
per largo bottle. bottles for $500.

to-day will be on deck. Let them be
well trained, for we are going to leave
a big contract OH their hands. Among
the three or four million cradles now
rocking in the land are some which
this nation would preserve for ages as
sacred things if we could know which
ones they are. In one of these cradles
the unconscious Farragut of the future
is at this moment teething. Think of
it and putting in world of dead

justifable profanity over it, too; IN

THREE GREAT MANiF ESTOES.
How, the Mayor is Bringing About
Mighty Reforms.

A long time ago the Mayor said, with
much authority and seeming earnestness,
the fakirs and gamblers must 90. To-day
the city has more of this class than ever be-
fore. They swarm in like flies in a soup
house during a rain storm. The gambling
hells run night AM day, and during the last
forty eight hours two men report having
been done up by local fakirs. There are
Rapids is apparently looked upon as a Mecca
by them. In the second place the edict went
forth from His Honor that the vendors
of hay and wood must no longer congregate
order went forth it has been strict
ly unheeded and the sellers gath
er In the mart, bargain, smoke
and laugh over the chief rulers folly. The
proclamation was then issued TO that part of
the world known as Grand Rapids that
the rude, barbaric music of the Salvation
Army must no longer te heard In the land.
Last evening the army with the band at It's
head paraded the principal streets of the
city. The Mayor lives long distance from
the line of commotion and misery. but II he
wishes TO become renowned, patriotic and
popular. he will show his countrymen one of
his orders, the latter, must be obeyed. The
people can submit, If not gracefully, TO the
fakirs. gamblers and hay market, but To the
music of the Salvationists never. The city
is already making large showing in State
asylums, but the world can little afford TO
see the metropolis of the valley turned into
one va t mad house.
