Winchester Presbytery.

The Winchester Presbytery, which
met in this place last Wednesday,
closed on Sunday night. We note
the following business attended to
since our last issue:
On Friday morning an interesting
discussion of the Memorial of the
Ladies' Foreign Missionary Society
of Martinsburg, took place, and the
answer presented by the committee
on Foreign Missions was adopted.
Rev. j. w. Wicker preached at IL
a. m. and DR.. Fl. M. White discuss
ed the subject of organization Of
churches in the foreign land.
The following resolution intro
duced by DR.. G. w. White was
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The last General AS
sembly appointed a committee of
Inquiry to ascertain definitely the
points at issue with reference to
Organic Union with the Presbyter-
ian Church in the United States Of
America, and whereas the result OF
said inquiry gives no encouraging
hope of such a Union as would pro-
mote the harmony, unity and purity
of the church,
RESOLVED, That in the opinion Of
this Presbytery it is inexpedient
for the Assembly to take any fur
Their action on the subject, and fur
ther, this Presbytery hereby over
lures the General Assembly to this
effect.
On Saturday, Mr.. H. F. Graham
was examined as a candidate for Ii
censure, and his examination sus
tanned as satisfactory, and taken
under the care of Presbytery. Ar
rangements were made for holding

THE FUNERAL MONTH OF
MARCH.

An obsefvant metropolitan barber
says that he can tell ones physical
condition by the state of the hair!
The Bible tells US that with his
hair gone Samson lost his strength.
The Romans considered badness a
serious affection and julius Caesar
was never quite satisfied with him
self because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open
book and one can readily trace in its
various expressions, lines, changes
and complexion the state of the sys'
tenn.
The eve that is unusually bright
and yet has pallid brightness, the
face upon whose cheeks nature
paints rose of singular beauty and
flush, more marked in contrast with
the alabaster appearance of the fore
head and nose and lower part of the
face, is one of those whom the skilled
physician will tell you will some day
dread the funereal month of March,
because it is then that consumption
reaps its richest harvest. Consump-
zion they tell us is caused by this
that and the other thing, by micro
hes in the air, by heterogeneous
in the blood, by deficient nutrition,
by a thousand and one things, but
whatever the cause, decay begins
with cough and the remedy that
will effectually stop the cause OF
that cough cures the diseases of the
lungs.
That is all there is oft.
The cough is an evidence Of
wasting. To stop it effectually, a
remedy must be used that will
search out the cause, remove that
and then heal the lung and do away
with the cough. This is the power,
special to itself, possessed alone by
Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption remedy. This is no new
tangled notion of narcotics and poi
sons, but an old-fashioned prepare
ton of balsams, roots and herbs,
such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago the formula of which
has been secured exclusively by the
present manufacturers at great trou
BILE and expense. 1t is not mere
cold dryer. 1t is system searcher
and upbuilder and a consumption
expellant. Where others fail, it wins,
because it gets at the constitutional
cause and removes it from the sys-
tenn.
j. w. Hensaw of Greensboro, Pa,
on Jan. Is, 1888, reported that she
had derived more real benefit for the
length of time, from Warmers Log
Cabin Cough and Consumption rem
edv than he had for years from the
best state physicians"
III YOU naVea cough, nlSuI s"eaeS,
positive assurance in your own
mind that you, oh-you, have no con-
SUMPTION" and yet lose flesh, appe-
tite, courage, as your lungs waste
away, you may know that soon the
funeral month of March will claim
you, unless promptly and faithfully
you use the article named. If other
remedies have failed try this one
thoroughly. If others are offered,
insist the more on trying this un-
equaled preparation.
Some persons are prone to con
sumption and they should never al
low the disease to become seated.

Constipation Has Many Victims,

and the endeavor to find relief with
the cathartic, the injection, the
aperient and laxative are distress
inc. These are resorted to time
and again, until the sufferer is al
most in despair, as he gains only a
brief respite.
BY taking Simmons Liver Regu-
lator, the bowels will be gently
moved as naturally as ii no medicine
had been taken. Regularity in tax
ing the medicine will soon effect a
permanent relief.
