Father, Mother, and Three sisters Dead.

Father, Mother, and Three sisters Dead.
Mr. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
at- Arms OF the New Jersey Senate, ami now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., n. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak raised blood Nobody
thought l could live. My work (ship-
snithing was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition i
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it Eas so
difficult to get it in this little place, and
had improved so much, stopped taking it
for a time, and the result is that i have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and l must have
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced Of its truth, let them write
me and will make affidavit to it, for l
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhGa, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it 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-
ion; endorsed BY physicians and drug
fists. These are four strong points in favor
Of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price 81 90

There begins to be the usual awful Sc
cresy about the presidents message. 1t will
be guarded from the prying eyes of all to
whom il is of any account--the newsgath-
erers of the country. This farce of making
the stupid old document sacred thing till
it can be parsded in manuscript tied up
with superb red tape and be droned out by
the reading clerks Of the two houses of
congress will be carefully and solemnly en-
acted again. Why shouldn't Mr.. Cleveland
finish ii and give ii to the reporters to be
published, and thus let the congressman and
the people have an opportunity to talk il
over little together, if they want to? That
is the only way to have it read. Why de-
moralize the press with the temptation to
steal thing that is not worth stealing?

WOuld IL he funnys

Itwould be funny, wouldn't it, if Cleve-
land should take the New-York and Nir-
ginia victories as an Endorsement of his
proclamation shutting up the White House
to officeseekers?
There is painful rumcr that such is his
self-complacent state of opinion: and il is
given out that he will, with that opinion
running down his backbone. straighten up
against the democratic spoilsmen more per
pendicularly than ever.
II ne should, what howl there will be
even unto Dan. and what an echo back
from the uttermost parts of BeerSheba! We
have notion TO recommend Cleveland to
make this obstacle of himself.
