NlALARlAL POISON.

The drouth in Southwest Georgia
last spring dried up the wells, and we
were compelled to use water from the
creek on the plantation. The result
was that all were troubled with chiIls
and fever. I carried with me several
bottles of Swift's Specific, and as long
as took it l had perfect health. AS
soon as I ceased taking it, like the rest,
was afflicted with chills. When re-
sumed its use I was all right again. We
have used it in our family as an anti
dote for malaria poison for two or three
years, and haye never known it to fail
in q single instance.

Rev. ID. Henderson, Of the Congregational
Church, then spoke. Following is an abstract
of his remarks:
1t is nearly four years since the body of the be-
loved President Garfield was committed to the
tomb. The nation SOrrOWGd then over a star 80
carly set; il life tnti!ncy closed; but this feeling
OF incOmplcteneSS does not exist today as we
mourn over Gen. Grant. His lie suggests ac-
compishmcnt and completion He finished the
work given him to do. He quel!ed with unpar-
allcled energy and military skill the rebellion
which threatened the unity and very life Of this
country. He filled with acceptance during two
terms the presidential Office. the man for the
place and the times Released from public cares
he finished i course Of travel, making il tour of
the world and was everywhere being received
with the greatest regard and enthusiasm. The
literary work Of his life he brought to atcrnina-
tiOn. holding the pen rs he had held the sword.
in the very face Of death: and lastly hi; peace
was made with God. Descended it is said from
the ancient and renowned clan Grant, he eXhib
tied in an extraordinary degree the quality Of
mind, indicated by the motto Of that clan, 'Stand
Fast" He possessed invincible courage, imper-
turbable GOODNESS and tenacity Of purpose He
was endowed with great common sense and was
also strong in faith. He believed in himself, his
soldiers. his country and in an all-wise Provi-
dence. Passed away fgOm earthly strife into
the Invisible world, Gen. Grant will evernlOre be
remembered as the savior OF his country In the
time Of peril.
