Consumption

cone year ago | was apparently
so far gone with Consumption that
my life seemed only IA question of
days rather than months. With
my faith in the ability ofphysicians
to help me all gone, | tried almost
every known remedy, with no APP
parent benefit Finally, as a last
resort, | was induced to try DR.. r.
g. Flowers Lung Cordial. The
very first dose gave me relief, and
with the first bottle | took new
lease of life, and can honestly say
to-day thatone spoonful of this rem
edy is worth more to the sufferer
from Lung troubles than a gallon of
any other known remedy. A bottle
of it is now one of my choicest po-
sessions, and at the first symptom
of IA cough or cold | fly to it for the
relief it never fails to give"
DIR, FLOWERS LUNG
CORDIAL is without question
the most wonderful Lung rem
edy ever discovered. 1t eradi-

Silver Question,

The House took up the Bland bin to
provide for free coinage of silver, and the
debate continued to Thursday night The
bill allows any holder Of silver bullion to
take it to the mint and have ~ cents
worth of silver at present prices coined
into silver dollar. This is n big thing
for silver mine owners. The opponents
of the bill took the ground that the gov
eminent and the people ought to have
whatever profit aCcrues from silver coin
age, and not holders of silver bullion
The opponents of this free coinage bill
say that either the coinage law should re-
main rs it is now, or enough silver be put
in the dollar to make the bullion in il
worth rs much as gold, In which case
coinage could be made free; or measures
taken to bring about an international
agreement on coinage ratio of gold and
silver which would probably bring the
two metals together and secure free coin
age for both.
ON Thursday the bill for the free coin
age of silver was defeated by the crafty
ing vote of 1876 to lGl.
