LAKE CITY, FLA, June "a, 1886.
c. H. Newman, of Lake City, Fla, says
his wife has suffered for seven years with a
complication of diseases, of which Asthma
was the most prevalent. She has not laid
down in bed for seven years. He has ex-
pended all the money his business has made
him in that time for medicines, physicians,
ETC., to obtain relief for her, but without
any success whatever. He was advised by
physicians to try P. P. P. He finally did
so, expecting to derive no benefit, but after
taking less than two bottles eruptions APP
peared all over her and she Immediately
began to improve, and now her skin is per-
fectly clear. She sleeps soundly every
night on an ordinary pillow, and her general
health has not been better in years. Mr.
Newman, who is merchant in Lake City,
is very enthusiastic over the cure, and thinks
it the grandest blood purifier and tonic of
of the age.

preparation will be the standard Alternative or
blood purifier. Some would say, Why do you ex.
pect anything of the sort? Our answer is simply
this: We are Offering Fluid Ectract made from
the Green Roots and Barhs, with the IODIDE OF
POTASSIUM added to them, against teas decocI
ttOns without the iodide of potassium added ia
them. Physicians can see the point, and the
public will soon feel it.
We are truly grateful to the physicians who
have written to us expressing their favor of our
preparation and ordering it to in their prao,
tice, and promise to keep goods up to the high
standard represented, that they may not be dist
appointed when prescribing our remedy.

It is not claimed that the remedy is discovery,
any other than legitimate and well-known
combination, and that any druggist or physician
can make, if they provide themselves with the
necessary apparatus and use green roots and barks
in making up the fluid extracts, as dry roots and
banks of all kinds lose many of their medicinal
qualities. (This fact is now well established

Two years ago had the worst ulcer Of

and my foot were swollen and inAamed.
The bone was swollen and painful, and
discharged a most offensive matter. My
physician said had necrosis Of the bone
and my leg would have TO come off. At
this stage I commenced to take ?. P. P. and
battle my leg with hot CASTLE soap suds. 1t

A Foolish Filing.

Never before in history, it may be
safely said, did the conquered even ina
civil war administer upon the rewards
paid for the services of the conquerors.
This unique spectacle is afforded by the
presence of Secretary Lamar at the
head of the Department Of the Interior.
and consequently the arbitrator of Union,
pensions. Never before in history did
the conquered speak with enthusiasm
of these rewards paid to the men who
conquered him; or declare that they
might we'll be greater, and that they
were the most sacred obligations of the
Nation. Never before in history was
so frank and generous sentiment dis
torted and mutilated by political OPP
ponents who never shed anything more
terrible than ink in such conquest.
This has been done by some of the
Republican organs, one Of which says
of this defense of the pension system
by an ex-Confederate, that sit glows
with all the ardor of an enthusiast who
would like to see it extended to the fell
lows who fought on the other side.
There is not line or word Or a hint
in Secretary Lamar's report, suggest.
ing that he wishes pensions extended
to athe fellows who fought on the Other
I sider. He knows too well--if the Phil
adelphia Press, the author of these
| words, does not-that even if he die

Healthy Ideas.

President Cleveland deserves the
thanks of all sensible mothers in the
United States. As married man the
President; it is acknowledged, would
Re model. In setting the fashion of
early hours at the White House the
Executive has declared war against
pallid compilations, sunken eyes and
prematurely shattered nervous systems.
Turning night into day is a modern
idea. Even in the wild times Of the
Restoration, when Nell Gwynne was
the reigning star, people attended
Drury Lane Theater by daylight. A
hundred years ago society went home
in pattens not later than eleven or al
latest twelve O'Clock. Under the pres.
emit unnatural system beauty sleep IL

orchestra. The President is a man 4oi

Can't Make Him OUT.

The practical politicians" who con-
gregate at Washington find President
Cleveland more and more of an enigma
every day, and confess themselves ut
terly unable after the observation and
experience of nine months, to make
out what manner of man he is. One
of them, Republican Senator, trained
in the school of the. spoilsman-says
that the Presidenti is "either very
big man or a very little one', he is
not quite sure which, but the former
opinion is evidently gaining ground
among Congressman, however careful
they may be about giving it expression.
Certainly Mr., Cleveland has thus far
proved entirely too big man for
any Senatorial syndicate or iunta of

with which he has resisted the tremen-
