Attention. Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life of the
average physician is a hard one. He is
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for merely nom-
inal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for us to,
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use of PERUNA.
If he will only add this great remedy to
his list ofmedicincs he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found in the
"Ills of Life," and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
N. ]. Wright, Business Agent Evening
Herald, Erie. Pa, says: "DR. HART
MANI can not but feel it my duty to
express to you my thanks for the great
benefit received from the use of your
medicines, PERUNA and MANALIN.
One bottle of each placed me square on
my feet, after sickness of four weeks,
which confined me to my bed, and then
left me lame and crippled. Three days
from the commencement of the use of

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Ex-senator Stewart spoke upon the
silver question to a large audience in
Carson last Tuesday evening. After Civ
ing q review of silver, its ratio value with
gold, etc.. he said: cit is now proposed
to stop the coinage of silver. 1t is said
that the people don't want it and it
won't circulate. The trouble is the
Secretary of the Treasury is, and has
been in collision with the bondholders,
and won't pay it out in redemption OF
the national debt, as required by law.
Their object is to demonetize silver when
it will have no value, except Tor mechan'
ical purposes. In that case, all silver
mining must stop, for the stock OF silver
on hand is sufficient for those purposes
for the next hundred years. Gold is
diminishing in quantity, and if that
bonded indebtedness of the world must
be paid in gold, a new system Of slavery
more cruel than the feudal system will
be inaugurated. The United States is
the only ground upon which this battle
can be fought. Europe is q military
camp, and the vast armies which are
swelling the national debt, are used to
suppress the complainings of the people.
and exact from their toll and sweat all
that is denominated in the bond. and If
the bond does not suit them, the rulers
can change the obligation Of the bond at
pleasure. The money powers Of Europe
are operating in the United States. the
edict of the R~othschild's is felt in banking
houses Of America. He who discusses it
is sent to Financial purgatory without the
benefit of clergy"

MCDONALD'S
CraniaI OtaCouStiC,

THIS INSTRUMENT IS CALLED THE
l. CRANIAL OTAOOUSTIC, or Ear Trum-
pet. Seeing the disadvantage and bad results
arising from the use Of the ordinary tin
trumpet, has led me to the construction Of an
instrument which would render the assist
ance of 9 trumpet, aud yet could be placed
upon the head. After many trials. the follow
ing instrument has been made for me. It is
Of black vulcsnized rubber, and weighs an
ounce and q quarter. The Otscoustic resem-
bles tho sphenotd bone in shape and relation.
1t is placed on the top of the head. with tubes
running from the sounding-chsmber into the
ears, thereby gaining all the assistance rem
tered through the bones and nerves Of the
head. l have found that when the sound re-
ceiving chamber is in contact with the bones
Of the head the effect of the trumpet as an aid
to hearing is considerably increased, aud deaf
persons can hear much more distinctly than
with the ordinary ear trumpet, the sound-re-
ceiving chamber of which IL distant from the
head. 1t will he seen that the trumpet,
formed as described, is much more conven-
lent than the ordinary form, since II does
away with the annoyance and embarrassment
OF carrying q trumpet in the hand. It can be
wholly concealed by ladies.
