Helping the Right Side.

To help the right side is not only com, mendable in general point of view, but is judicious and prudent when that help is enlisted in behalf of the right side oi the body, just over the lower ribs in the region of the liver. The most efficient help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an anti-billious medicine of in comparable efficacy. Inaction of the liver is accompanied by constipation, sick-headache, furred tongue, nausea, occasional vertigo, an unpleasant breath yellowness of the skin and ball of the eye. The author of these symptonms, liver complaint, routed by the Bitters is accompanied by them in it's flight. Fever and ague, which always involves the liver, dyspepsia, rheumatism, debil- ity and kidney troubles are all maladies to the early relief and final cure of which this standard medicine IS adapted. Do not use it by fits and starts, but syste- matically, that it's full effects may result in a perfect restoration of health.

There are some peculiar characters in every community. St. Johns even is not exempt from this general rule. If one will stand around on our streets, and keep his ears open, he will hear our officials accused of dishonesty. corrup- ton, malfeasance, misfeasance and non- feasance. Hear them abused for rob- ping the people at every turn; and then if he will examine the delinquent tax roll, he will find that these selt same individuals have paid no taxes for the past three or four years, and would never pay them, unless compelled by the strong arm of the law to do so; while others, equally loud-mouthed in pro- claiming misrule and corruption, their names do not appear on the tax list at all. They are muchly interested, bow ever, in the manner in which our off cials handle the money of their neigh b0Ts, and are in some instances, aspi- rants for official preferment, and we doubt not will be telling the dear people ere long that they can take their money and handle it much more judiciously than is being done at present, or has been done in the past. In comparison government mule has no cheek and an itinerant lightning-rod peddler is a model of modesty.

Cure of Cancer and Ulcers,

Judge T. C. McLondon writes to the Swift Specific Co.,: "About three yearA ago, Jerry Bradley, had a cancerous sore on his face, near the right eye. Ii caused him great deal of pain, and he lost the sight of the eye, but was finally cured by the use of Swift's Specific. This case is well known in Wilkes O., Ga, where he lived.''
 Mir. l.. Cox, of Arkabutla, Tate Co, Miss, writes: 'T suffered great deal from old ulcers for years. Your medi. cine was recommended, and after using six buttles I was completely cured. Your medicine does even more than you claim for it. have known it to cure eases which were thought hopeless."
 Mrs. A M Goldsmith, No. 674 W Warren St., Brooklyn, N. F., writes: "I com- menced using s. S. s. about three years ego. Ihad suffered with . sore throat for over e year. used . great many other remedies with no good results My little girl, also, had sore fingers; it commenced from the quick, and then ths nails would come oil.

Our present Sheriff has announced himself as candidate for reelection, and from the announcement we gather that it is not his intention to submit his name to any convention, but intends making the race as an independent can didate, whether he receives any nomi- nation or not. As he has opened the ball, it is now in order for others who are public spirited and patriotic to de- clare themselves as willing to serve their in whatever capacity they may think themselves best quali- lied. The more the merrier, and the moie aspirants there are in the field, the greater the number of disappointed ones after the 9th of November. We believe there are only ten positions to fill, including legislators, so there can only be ten elected-the rest will be left, and we think some of them badly left.

When a wooden pavement was desired outside St. Paul's cathedral, Sidney Smith said: ''If the canons will simply put their heads together the thing is done !! They were not half so wooden headed, however, as it would be to deny the merit of Dr. R. V.
