CANCER CURED.

About twenty years ago I discovered
little sore on my cheek, and the doctors
pronounced it cancer l have tried a num-
Der of physicians, but without receiving
any permanent benefit Among the num-
Der were one or two specialists The med
lcine they applied was like fire to the sore,
causing intense pain. l saw statement in
the papers telling what S. S. s. had done
for others similarly afflicted l procured
some at once. Before l had used the sec
ond bottle the neighbors could notice that
my cancer was healing up. My general
health had been bad for two or three
years-l had a hacking cough and spit
blood continually. / had a severe pain in
my breast. Alter taking six bottles of S.
5. ) nay cough left me, and grew stouter
than | hal been for several years. NV
cancer has healed over all but little spot
about the size of half-dime, and is rapidly
disappearing. ] would advise every one
with cancer TO give S. s. S. fair trial.

NERVOUS DEBILITY CURED.

For several years past my wife's health
has been exceedingly fceble-a general
breakdown of the nervous system from
malaria. She was greatly reduced in
flesh. No remedy seemed to do her any
good. In the spring of 1888 l induced
her to try Swift's Specific The first bot
tie gave her hope, and twenty bottles pro-
duced wonderful results She gained
thirty pounds in flesh, and it renovated
her whole system. 1t is certainly the
greatest tonic in the world

Months ago had occasion to publicly
testify TO the rare curative properties of
Swift's Specific in the treatment of rheu-

testimony to the virtue Of this famous
medicine in the treatment of another and
quite different disease.
During my late visit to the North was
striker down with malarial fever, and at
times my recovery was extremely doubt
full. At this period of my sickness, how
ever, copy of an Atlanta paper came to
hand in which was a certificate from some
person who had used with success Swift's
Specific in similar case. Having bottle
with me, Immediately commenced taking
1t, and am proud to say that good results
followed at once. | then procured a few
bottles from Boston, and continued to take
three doses daily until | recovered nv
health perfectly, a result largely due to
that valuable preparation, $. s. s.

The Mississippi State Horticultural
Society will hold its fourth annual meet
ing at Crystal Springs, on Friday and
Saturday, Goth and S0th Of this month
In addition to the usual essays and dis
cussions of common interest to all en-
gagged in horticultural pursuits, the i'm
portant subject of transportation will be

certaining an approximate estimate of
the volume of our business, and also the
better and safer methods of transporta-
tion.
The time has come when the extent
and the important bearings of horticul-
tural productions, demand improved and
safer methods OF transportation; and as
the officials of the |. q. r r, Co. are
now moving in earnest on this suhjec t,
and have asked an early and full ex-
preston of the views of producers along
the lines of their roads through this
State, with view to meeting their wish.
es as far as practicable, it is Of first i'm
portance that all engaged in horticul,

Are U. s. Bonds Payable in Silver.

In the U. $. Senate, on the 9Th, Mr..
EUsTIs, of Louisiana, offered concur.
rent resolution, which was referred to
the Committee on Finance, with pre-
amble setting forth that the act of Con.
gress of 1873 declared the silver dollar a
iegal tender for all debts, public and
private; that by the act Of 1860 the
faith of the United States was solemnly
pledged to the payment, in coin or its
equivalent of all public obligations not
bearing interest, &c. that, by the Re
funding act of July, 1879, the principal
and interest Of the debt were made pay
able in coin OF the then standard value
that since the enactment of those laws
i. had been the unvarying practice of
ahe Sec ,etary of the Treasury to pay
the bonds and interest in gold coin and
that the Secretary Of the Treasury had
issued a call for $4,000, 900 of bonds
payable on Feb. |, 1886.
The resolution Is to the effect that in
the opinion of Congress said bonds OF
100000 payable ON Feb. /, 1886
should be paid in silver dollars, "such
payment being in strict compliance with
existing law, and in aid of the financial
policy established by the legislation of
Congress"
MIR. EUsTIs expressed the hope that
the committee would report on the reso,
luton at an early day, that it may be
determined whether or not this practice
of paving the United States bonds and
interest on them exclusively in gold
coin was approved or disapproved by
Congress.
No sooner was this resolution intro
duced than it was cabled from Europe
that 1t had caused a depreciation of
United States bonds and created panic
among the holders. This is simply n
part of the programme to frighten Con-
sress from its propriety, The authors
OF this stupid trick seem not to remem-
Der that in February, 1878, both Houses
of Congress passed resolutions, by more
than two to one majority, that the bonds
were payable in silver, as well as gold
and, in so doing, they simply reafirmed
the letter of the contract between the
Government ami the boLdholders.
