PREVENTIVE
OF Typho- Malarial Fever and Our
for Rheumatism at Last
Discovered

biSCOVereQ
BY the firm of Hughes Bros, manu-.
featuring chemists of Dallas, Texas.
This enterprising firm have for the
last five years been engaged in the
manufacture OF baking powders, wines.
cider, vinegar, etc. DR.. +. Il. Hughes.
who presides over their laboratory,
has for the last forty years been en-.
gagged In the study and practice OF
medicine and chemistry. They also
have Ia their laboratory Prof. Geo. C.
Calhoun, who has for many years been
teacher OF chemistry, also Mr.. J.
Price Warrick, graduate OF chemistry
In the University Of PHILADELPHIA.
These gentlemen in manufacturing
the various articles already mentioned.
have found 1t necessary to combat ex :
cessive lamentations, whether yinous.
acetous or alcoholic, which have ever
stood IN the way OF successfully man
ufacturing wine, vinegar and alcohol
In our Southern climate. The expert.
ments have resulted in the discovery
OF an agent which completely obviates
this difficulty. This agent is the ex-
tract OF the bark of tree indigenous
to the state OF Texas. Carving their
experiments still further, they have
ascertained that this same extract
as completely controls the only re-
naming fermentation known to the
arts and sciences, viz: Blood fer
mentation, which Ia the cause OF Re.
vers as well as Of rheumatism. This
agent they have combined with the
extracts OF ginger and lemon, thereby
rendering II most efficaclous as well
as delightful and palatable beverage.
IL is not only one OF the best tonics In
Its effects, but the use Of it effectuallv
prevents typho-malarial fever. AT the
same time II is sure cure for rheuma-
tism. DIR. Hughes Extract OF Lemon
and Ginger is put up in cases OF two
dozen bottles, and can be found at ali
hrst-class drug and grocery stores.

MALCOLM HAY died in Pittsburg at
six o'clock Tuesday morning, after a
lingering and painful illness. The
death of Malcolm Hay will be mourned
by more than those who had personal
acquaintance with him. While he had
only reached middle age at the time OF
his death, and not until within few
months holding public office, Mr. Hay
has for dozen years been among the
best known men in the State. Always
a Democrat, he was also always for
better political methods, and he did
much in his own quiet but manly way
to bring about improvements. He was
thoroughly conscientious in all things,
and added character and dignity to any
thing which he undertook. Mr. Hay
has been a familiar figure in national
and State conventions of his party for a
number OF years, and his opinions al
ways commanded respect from those
who did not agree with him as well as
from those who did. Ten years ago,
when he. hal only reached the age Of
thirty-three, he was prominently named
as a Democratic candidate for Governor.
He has uniformly declined public place
until the election of President Cleye-
land. He will be greatly missed in the
councils of his party in Allegheny
county,
