The SfOch Journal contributes this in
teresting bit of information regarding the
recently appointed territorial veterinarian:
DIR. Holcombe is a native of the state
OF New York and graduated at the Amer
lean Veterinary college, New York City,
in the class in 1876. During 1879 he was
state veterinarian for New jersey, where
he had an extensive experience in the
stamping out OF pleuro-pneumonia, At
the same time he occupied the chair of
professor of cattle pathology, or diseases
of cattle, in the American Veterinary
college, perhapsthe best institution OF its
kind on this side of the Atlantic. In
1882 he was appointed TO the position Of
chief veterinarian IN the United States
army, stationed at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, which position he filled SIC
cessfully until Kansas enacted FER SAM
tary laws in 1888 when he accepted the
office of state veterinarian, which position
he has filled up to date, and which he
now resigns for the Wyoming appoint
ment. The term OF appointment in
Kansas is two years. and it is to the credit
OF the doctor to say that upon the expira-
ton of the first term he was promptly re-
appointed We understand his r~esigna-
ton there was made to take effect upon
the 9th, and thus allow him time to
reach Wyoming and quality upon the
proper date early in April"

INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES.

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with a
virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies falling, we called our family physician,
who attempted to cure 1t bnt it spread with
almost Incredible rapidity, until the lower por-
of his back down to his knees, was one solid
rash. ugly, painful, blotched. and malicious. We
had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally
we were advised to try the CUrICURA RENE
DIES. The effect was simply marvellous. In
three or four weeks IA complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as
white and healthy as though he had never been
attacked. In my opinion your valuable remedies
saved his life, and to-day he is a strong, healthy
child. perfectly well, no repetition of the disease
having ever occurred.

sPECULAToRs' MISTAKE.

Two or three years ago a great specula-
ton took place in the raw fiber, and
thousands of bales were imported and
held with the expectation that it would
figure largely in mattress stuffing and
kindred uses. This was not realized,
owing to the hber's lack of elasticity, and
spectators lost heavily. 1t is said that
the French are beginning to make cut
raises of it for their ironclads, as it offers
more resistance than steel to a cannon
ball, and a greater value may be put upon
1t in the future.
Other articles of seldom
heard of come from this far off shore.
Cus-cus, a fragrant root from which
sachet powder is made; citronella and
lemon grass oils, also used in perfumery;
the button like seeds of nux vomica, con-
tanning the principle of strychnine; carda-
mons, cinchona and turmeric, a yellow
root used in dyeing, and which is said to
be used in the adulteration of mustard.
Eight white people and 10000 natives
compose the population of Alipee. About
seventy-five different castles are repre-
sented. The climate is tropical, but
healthy. Melting eyes and well favored
forms are reported to be characteristics of
the Hindoo females. These are possibly
enhanced by the limited inventory of ap-
parel, a palm leaf or two covering the
whole body. The sailors are not proof
against their seductions, and rigorous
measures have to be taken for their re-
straint. The mate of the Strathay, q

How sDyiingChild
Was Saved !!

CICERO, HAMILTON Co., IND, Sept, 10, 1851
The following Is a true account of what your
g. S. s. has done for our little daughter, Hazel,
now four years old. When 12 months old
lump appeared on her heel, which slowly grew
larger. The family physician thought ikwas
caused by piece of broken glass or hfsaIe,
but failed to bring anything to light. The
child became feebler all the time seeming to
lose the use of her leg. and finally quit walk.
ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb :
Of eitherhand became enlarged, the flesh be-
coming hard. The hip joints became involy
ed, so 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, 1886
We took the child away not knowing what
to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were
over-peBuaded by friends to try lone bot
tie" of SwIFT's SPECIFIC, which we did, and
before 1t had all been taken we saw change
for the better in her symptoms. We keptit
up, and have done so to this day, and will
keep it up, il the Lord wills, for many days
to come, for it 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 now blithe, cheerful, hap
