No wonder that it fred the blood

In the Corcoran gallery at Wash

country's enemies.
What lesson in this tragic story.
Two hundred. nay. five hundred thou

Methods are quite as murderous
and inexhorable rs men, and they

have been allowed to die and as many
more killed by unjustihable blgotry
and by bnngling;
But the age is lettering. Men and
methods are improving. A few years
ago it was worth ones professional

:, are not two physicians in any town
in this country who do not regularly
prescribe some form OF proprietary
remedy.
