My son had a troublesome catarrh of the
head and throat. For more than two years
we sought medical aid in vain. watched the
gradual progress OF the disease with great
deal of anxiety, and while following strictly
the treatment and advice of Leading physi-
clans, saw my son from day to day grow
worse. His hearing became SO badly affect
ell that he could not hear the ticking of q
watch when held close to the ear. Last NAV
l took him to DR.. Prentice, Is Dryades
street, and from that day he began to i'm
prove and continued to grow better, until be
could hear the same watch six feet from his
ear, or could hear it ticking in ais pocket.
His general health has improved and all bad
symptoms have passed away. His hearing
is how so acute that he can distinguish the
fajntest discOrd in music, in which he is
now progressing very finely. In short, DR..
Prentice cured my son of his caIarrh and
deafness. l sincerely feel that can recon-
mend DIR. Prentice as possessed OF the high
est skill and ability, and take the greatest
pleasure in adding my testimonial 10 DR.

The Blind See!

Mr.. L. j. III. Foster, of Crawford, Miss >,
was totally blind for several years with Cat
aract. His eye was operated OH by an emf
nent oculist of New Orleans. After several
weeks of hOrrid suffering his eye run out.
The doctor then said he did not believe it
could lie done uccessfuEy under the
exis ting conditions of Mr.. Fosters system.
But afterward DR.. Prentice operated under
precisely the same conditions, and gave Mr..
Foster sight. Mr.. L. j. II. Fosters ad-
dress is Craw ford, Miss.
About twelve years ago the daylight Of my
life went out and left me in total darkness
Bat ray OF bright hope found its way into
my sha lowed heart six years ago. when l
was told of and taken to the most eminent
Oculist Of Chicago. | was taken to the Ely"
lnfrmary, chloroiorm was gwen me and
both eyes were operated on for cataract.
Well, after several weeks of horrid suffering
one of my eyes run entirely out and the 9th
er remained totally blind. Then all hope tru
ly departed fl ON my life. Never MAS there
an hour from that time that death would
have been unwelcome, Until the oath of De-
cember, SS3, when | was taken to see DR..
Prentice. He at once operated on my re-
naming eye, without giving me chloroform or
anything of that nature, and in one week
from that time, as the first bright sun rose
on the New Year of 1884, the bsndage was
removed from my eye and could see! Thank
God, could see. BENJAMIN HERBAuGs,

A Sad Thanksgiving.

The news of the death of Vice Pres
ident Hendricks reached this city
Wednesday evening about s o'clock,
but. it did not become generally
known until yesterday morning. The
news was so startling that it was not
believed until private kilograms were
received corroborating the report
caught from the wires. The news
was received with genuine regret,
and expressions of sorrow were heard
on every hand. 1t was indeed sad
coincidence that the news of the
great national calamity should be re-
ceived upon the day set apart for
thanksgiving. The political effects
are ofcourse.being discussed on every
hand. There is neither pro temporc
Speaker of the Senate, nor Speaker
of the House and if President Cleve-
land should die before Congress
meets'on Dec. 6, there would be nc
one in the line of Presidential
succession. When the Senate
meets a Speaker will be elect,
ed by the Republicans who would
become Presidentin the event of Mr.
Cleveland's death, An opportunit!
is therefore afforded for Jno. A. Lo
gan to become acting Vice President
in spite of his defeat. Whether thu
Republicans will elect Logan o.
again choose Edmunds to the posi-
ton, remains to be seen.

Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, Vice
President of the United States, died
very suddenly at his residence in this
city at 4:45 o'clock this evening
under circumstances that were par
ticulary distressing to his family and
friends, inasmuch as they had not
anticipated a fatal termination of his
brief illness, and nobody was with
him when the end came. He return
ed from Chicago on last Saturday,
and since then had been complaining
somewhat of pains in his head and
breast, but nothing serious was
thought oft. Last night he and Mrs
Hendricks attended reception given
at the residence of Hon. John j
Cooper, Treasurer of State, returning
home in their carriage about mid
night. Mr.. Hendricks had taken OF
the heavy clothing which he usually
wore and put on a dress suit of lighter
material, and before he got home he
complained of chillness and a certail
degree of exhaustion, but attributed il
to malarial influences. lie sat by
the fire for an hour or more before
retiring, but declined 10 send for {
physician, although urged to do so.
