Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from pain or ache; to know that no poisonous or putrid matter deflles the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not, through it's veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is to undermine and destroy is indeed a blessing beyond all other human enjoy ments To purchase immunity from such fate should be the object of all afflicted. But those who have tried many remedies and physicians despair of relief or cure.
 Sanford's Radical Cure meets every phase of Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most loathsome and destructive stages It is local and constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent in curing, safe, economical and never-failing.

How a DyingChlld Was Saved ;!

CICERO, HAMILTON Co.,, ISD., Sept, 19, 1ss7.- The following Is true account of what your s. 8. s. has done for our little daughter, Haxcl, now four years old. When 12 months old c lump appeared on her heel, which slowly grew larger. The family physician thought 1t was caused by piece of broken glass or needle, but failed to bring anything to light. The child became feebler all tho time, seeming to lose the use of her leg, and finally quit walk ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb of either hand became enlarged, the flesh be- coming hard. The hip joints became fnvolv- ed, TO that when seventeen months old she could not stand, having lost the use Of leg and arm Partial curvature of the spine also followed. The nervous system was wrecked, muscles contracted, and there was general wasting of flesh and muscle. At eighteen months of age she was placed under the treatment of a prominent physician of Bos- ton, Mass, but at the end of ten months she had declined to such degree that she was in dying condition. This was in April, 1866. We took the child away not knowing what to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were over-persuaded by friends to try |" one bot tie" of SwTFT'S SPECIFIC, which we did, and before 1t had all bean taken we saw a change for the better in her symptoms We keptIt up, and have dore so to this day, and will keep it up, if the Lord wills, for many days to come, for 1t has brought our dying Hazel to life, to vigor, to strength and health again. The ashen hue of her cheeks has changed to arosy tint. She Is able to walk anywhere, her languor and melancholy have passed away, and she is row blithe, cheerful, hap py romping child. Should you wish to in- crease your testimonials of proof of the virtue of s. s. S., names and what we have said is but portion of what we owe to you, should you wish to use them.

YOUNG REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
State Convention April

State Convention April 10. To the Young Republicans of the State of Connecticut:
 l The Young Republican league of the State of Connecticut will hold its annual session | for the election of officers and the transac- | tion of other important business at Loomis' | Temple of Music, New Haven, on Tuesday, | the 10th day of April, 1888. The league is composed of delegates from the organized clubs of young Republicans of Connecticut, representing in the aggregate
 over 5000 young men. eagerly at work pre- pairing for the impending fray. | The duty of the league is to promote the l growth of Republicanism, and to stimulate and assist in the organization of Young Re publican clubs in every town or city of Con- necticut where no such organization exists. | With this object in view the league invites the young Republicans of every town in the | State to appoint delegates to young Repub- | lican convention to be held in the city of | New Haven at o'clock p. n. on Tuesday, l April 10, 1888, where addresses will be made l by the Hon. Joseph L. Barbour of the Young | Republican club of Hartford, the Hon. A. E. Beers of the Young Republican club of Bridgeport, and Prof. William K. Townsend, ex-president of the Young Republican club | of New Haven.
 Plans for the organization of clubs through out the State will be discussed and measures | adopted for securing their immediate forma- tion.
 Every town will be entitled to send five delegates to this convention, and it is hoped l that every town in the State will send it's full quota.
 Delegates, upon their arrival in New Ha- ven, will report and secure tickets of admis- sion of J. F. Gaffey, secretary of the league, at the Hoadley building, 49 Church street, opposite the postoffice, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 1 p. No tickets to the con- vention will be issued after this time.
 Young RepubIicansl don't wait for others to move first in this important matter.
 Assemble yourselves together (excluding no live Republican, whatever his age) in such numbers as may be possible and convenient; appoint chairman and secretary, select your delegates, taking care to choose such as will attend, and furnish them with certificates of their election.
 The convention will make such arrange ments as will enable delegates so desiring to return home on the early evening trains.
 Prompt and effective work in every com- munity cannot fail to arouse general inter- est which will give powerful impulse to the cause of Republicanism throughout the State.
 On behalf of the State league,
 JAMES A. HowARTH, President. J. F. GAFFEY, Secretary.
 This convention will under no circum- stances name, indorse or in any way suggest any candidate for any office whatsoever.

Saloon keepers who have heretofore had means of communication between their bar rooms and private apartments will have to have such openings closed up as such is against the law. Prosecuting Agent Fowler intends to see that the rule is enforced. In case of the second complaint to the connnis- sioners of such openings between saloon and living apartments the dealers will be liable to prosecution and to have their license re- voked.
