The book Of Health and HUI NOR and
Family Calendar for 1885, now being
gratuitously distributed by the Charles
A. Vogeler & Co., of Baltimore, as a
means of advertising their famous medi-
cines-St. Jacobs OIL and the Red Star
Cough Cure--is very different from the
cheap productions printed and issued by
many other houses, a. its contents in
clude original copyrighted productions OF
all the leading humorists OF the country,
for which Vogeler & Co. paid literally.
The engravinRs and typographical appear
ance are in every way superior. In their
immense establishment in Baltimore
about twenty fast presses are kept going
night and day, while upward Of 200
folders, binders, and helpers are kept con.
stantly at work finishing and packing
them for shipment The demand for
their medicines, which are advertised in
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, keeps
growing daily, and, strange as it may APP
pear, their sales in foreign countries-in
Europe, India. Australia. &o.-are snOr-
nous The ST. Jacobs OIL has won Its
way to positive favor, while the later pro-
duction (the Red Star Cough Cure), free
from opiates, poisons, or narcotics gives
prompt relief, aud effects a permanent

Comparatively Little Destination Reported,
but Some Cases Needing Immediate Aid.
The severe weather passed through this
winter doubtless caused good citizens to re-
member the poor, thus countcracting much of
the incident suffering, The strenuous efforts
of the charity organizations, relief associa.
lions belonging to churches and beneficial so
cieties, and the vigorous Investigations of the
police added much to prevent the destituiion
tnnt otherwise would have prevailed. In.
quiry shows that though great suffering had
been felt by many yet 1t was no,
TO the same extent az existed last
winter. There have been quite Il number
of applications made for relief Gt the different
police stations, but when they are ierreted out
many cases are
FOUND TO BE UNWORTHY.
Mai. Dye stated last night that the destitu-
ton was not as great as II was at this time
year ago, and whenever applications are sent
TO police Headquarters they are attended 10,
The appropriation for reliet is qnite smull, and
hence care il taken that only meritorious cases
are aided II was discovered that in few in
stances great distress prevailed, and imme-
diate aid was given by the police, but 1t was
only temporary.
AMosd THOSE COMMENDED
by the officers to the public is that of widow
living at 1906 Pennsylvania avenue south
range from . months to years, Her husband
died OF consumption about four n. onths ago.
The youngest child is now dying OF consump.
ton. Want has plnched the face and frame OF
the young mother, and from u woman of %
years she Is changed to one double thar age In
appearance. She Is esteemed as awOrthy per,
son, one willing TO work, and her needs de-
mand attention.
ANOTHER CASE
is that OF a widow of an ex-naval officer, living
N A fran al - an Gixfh ar hot y
and l. streets southeast She Is 50 years old,
and has three little grandchildren, aged from
TO 10 years, living With her. She has tried to
help herself along by making quilts at 10 cents
apiece
A well-known butcher and his wife, living
within a stones throw of the western end of
the Baltimore and Potomac tunnel Navy
Yard, have been found in needy circum-
stances. These cases, though temporarily re-
lieyed by the police, appeal to the sympathy
OF the public.
