eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can

fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the

How :: &C. Ga" CURED

By taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some OF these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
EVERY spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, sores breaking
out on them in various places. My little boy,
three years old, has been terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass Of sores from head
to feet. Twas advised to use Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and we have all taken it. The result
is that all have been cured of the scrofula,
my little boy being entirely free from sores,
and all four Of my children look bright and
healthy" W. B. ATHERroN, Passaic City, Nj.

The Reason WhV

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave any i'll
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf.
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States.
where arrangements Of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. d. w. Baine, New

A CONVICT PARDONED.
VIM. lanes to be Released from
Joliet Prison.
In 1884 Sentenced to Ten Years
for Theft.
The Piteous Appeal of the Dying
Convict.

Acting Governor Shannon yesterday
pardoned VIM. james, a Wyoming con-
vict in the Joliet p~enitentiary. James
vas sentenced to ten years imprisonment
by Judge Parks at Green River, in 1884.
He was convicted OF the illegal selling of
three-quarters of a beef, and all agreed at
the time that the sentence imposed was
altogether too severe for the offense.
The convict's letter to the governor is a
remarkable composition. In it the writer
impresses one with the idea that he has
given up all hope and realizes that he is
utterly friendless. The unaffected SIM
plicity of the production imparts a flavor
of truthfulness. There is a volume in
every crude sentence. After humbly
apologizing for inflicting his troubles Upon
another he plaintively states that he has
amply atoned for his boyish indiscretion
and convinces the reader that his entire
life was wrecked by the commission of an
unlawful act in his eighteenth year. He
regrets financial inability to employ coun-
sci to plead his cause, and while earnestly
praying for pardon expresses but a single
wish-to 'die among friends" His
statement as to the precarious condition
of his health is verified by the prison sur
geon and warden, both of whom say that
the unfortunate convict's life will soon be
brought to a termination by incurable
lung troubles. He cannot live more than
a few weeks.
As a matter of course the prisoners
name is not james and he steadfastly re-
fused to divulge his identity, saying that
he would prefer death in the prison to a
knowledge of the fact that his father
and dear sisters were aware that he oc-
cupied a misdemeanant' cell.
Before granting the pardon Acting
Governor Shannon made a thorough in
vessigation of the case. He first corro-
borated James statements as to the ma
ture of the offense and learned that the
sentence had all along been regarded as
unwarranted in the premises. and that had
the case been properly presented the pen
! atty would have been much lighter.
From Col. Luke Murrin, e~x-peniten-
tiary commissioner, it was learned that
James had been slowly dying for more
than a year. Upon the occasion of the
colonel's last visit this convict was unable
to leave his cot and frequently bled at the
lungs.
In pardoning James Secretary Shannon
has been enabled to perform a charitable
and merciful official act. Subioined is
the gentleman's letter to James:
SEcRErARY's OFFICE, juno l, 1885,
Wns. Jones, Illinois State PRISON: Upon
the representations of Mr.. McClaughey,
warden, of your general good conduct
and obeyance, your p~erilous state of phys
ical health, and moved by your piteous
appeal, your unstudied and palpably sim
cere avowal of contrition, | feel con-
strained to favorabIy consider Your petit
ton for pardon, and have granted it, that
you may go home and. die among
friends" yet with the sincere hope that
you may live among them long years, and
by honorable conduct henoeforth merit
and retain their esteem and respect.
S. D. SHANNON, Acting Governor.
