Either advertising means something or it doesn't That's
true as preaching Now do think house means wat
says when keeps repeating from day to day that 1--WE sell
that closing out at less than cost anything No
a ale lie and everybody knows t-and lies don't pay
We are advertising on different plan, namely, that Of
truth Now listen We tell you in cold type eve can sell you
can That's business amt III Further, eve sell you
better Boys Suit Tor Three Dollars than anyone in Wheeling
can for Five"
Now that means something, because it says something
the prices Of its goods in the papers afraid have its prices
known.
We have come to stay Notwithstanding the rumors Our
competitors tell the people but travelling Such

DEMAND FOR OLD RAILS.

The Pittsburgh Dip1tcA OF yesterday
says: The scarcity Of muck iron has
cansed an increased demand for old rails
in this city. During the past week fully
5000 tons OF o!drails have been purchased
by Pittsburgh firms. The price has ad-
vanced somewhat this month and old rails
nre sailing at from SO TO $40 SO per ton.
There are no more objections raised by
the puddlers to working old rails as they
receive an advance Of ten percent over
the price for working pig iron. Theirs has
been very little bad work in boiling old
rails during the pastfew weeks.

St. Landry democrat., 1885-04-18

me that about six weeks ago, his
mother, lady of eighty-fve years
of age, Well-known to me personally
told him that she had lately been
reading one of General Clingman's
articles on tobacco cures and adj
vised him to try it. He therefore
wrapped his thighs with wet tobao-
co leaves, and found, on the next
morning, that the swelling had been
much reduced.
He then applied it to his legs be-
low the knees, and found still great
er relief, and in a few days all the
symptoms Of his dropsy disappear
ed. He said, 81 was the poorest
man you ever saw seeming to be
only skin and bone, but gradually
recovered my strength. y
When I saw him he had travelled
about twenty miles from his home,
and was going forty miles further to
see relatives in Rutherford county.
He also said that his sight had been
almost gone, but that, after putting
tobacco on his eyes he could read
very well. There was a bad sore
on one Of his nostrils, but a plug of
wet tobacco pressed into it cured it.
After he was well of his dropsy, he
also cured himself of hemmerhoids
by applying tobacco, though he
had peen previously much of
sufferer.
These three last cases were such
as many persons have made since
the publication Of my first article,
but the curing Of dropsy is new
and remarkable thing. About a
year ago I argued an old friend in
Washington, Attorney Crawford,
who was pulled up with dropsy, to
try it, but he, under the advice of
his physicians, declined, and soon
after died.
I regard the cure Of dropsy as
due not merely to the sedative eff
fects of tobacco on the circulation
of the blood, but mainly to the fact
that it is a most powerful tonic. 1t
was this quality which I think by
stimulating the nerves greatly ena-
bled his system to throw off the
liquids which pulled him up over
his entire body. I have found it
difficult to induce physicians to adj
NIT this, but it is nevertheless true.
I ought to say that in all cases
where tobacco has been given hogs
for cholera generally in buttermilk)
as far as I have been informed, it
has cured them. I trust that you
will succeed in bringing it into no
tice in Europe, so that it may be
tried for Asiatic cholera. Even if
not a remedy for that, however, yet
it will relieve the major part of the
causes of human suffering.
I trust that you and other liberal
minded editors will be able, by re-
peated publications, to make the
virtues Of the tobacco remedy
universally known.
Respectfully yours,
Z. Il. CLINGMAN.

A Qacstion of money.

Kingston, New Hampshire, is consider
ing q nice question. Edward S. sanborn,
who came of good family, made money in
Boston in the business OF a brothel keeper.
He founded an academy in Kingston,
added public library, and gave money 10
churches without regard to denomination.
To the academy which he founded San
born has left the greater part Of his estate
of nearly million Of dollars. Heirs are
contrasting the will.
In case the will stands, there is ques-
ton OF retaining for the academy money
gotten rs Sanborn's was. 1t ought not TO
take long to decide such question. II
ill.sotten money cannot be put.to good
purposes it can only be put to bad pur-
poses or destroyed. A little practical
common sense might suggest that since
nothing is to be gained to society by des-
troying the money, some Of the harm that
sanborn did in accumulating it may be
counterbalanced by the good it is capable
Of doing If properly handled. When the
test comes Kingston will no doubt see her
way clear to hold fast to the old fellows
money.
