Startling Discovery.

The discovery by the inhabitants of a
locality hitherto unvisited by the pestii-
ent sscourge Of fever and ague, that it ex-
lists IN their very midst, is decidedly
startling. Such discoveries are made nj
every season, in every part of the Union,
subsequently, when II is ascertained, as
II invariably is at such times, through
the valuable experience ofsome one WHO
has been benefited and cured, that Hos.
letters Stomach Bitters is thoroughly
eiicaclous eradicator of the malarial
poison. and a means of certifying the
system against it, feeling of more Sc.
ct,urity and tranquility reigns throughout
the whole neighborhood. Besides the
tebrile form of malarial diseases. dumb
ague and ague cake are removed by the
potent action of the Bitters, to which
science also gives its sanction as aremedy
ior rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipation,
liver complaint, debility, kidney troubles
and all diseases imparing the organs of
digestion and assimilation.

The Philadelphia Times is correct
about the discussions of tariff and
protection. Secure a speaker for
protection, who will show its beauties
and benefits and a speaker on a re-
duction of the tariff, to show that
the people are unnecessarily taxed,
etc. When a man has only one
view of the question, reads only on
that issue, believes only in that issue,
he may go wrong.
Hear both sides. If you are un-
able to attend meeting when the
questions are discussed, read the
papers and if you read carefully you
will soon fully understand the two
questions. Don't allow yourself to
be fooled by some blantant politi-
clan. Know these things yourself
Don't vote blindly, but as an intelli-
gent man. You may hear some
speaker, who will place figures and
supposed facts before you, but that
is not all. What has the other side
to say.

A Horse who Can Talk +!

Everybody has heard of 'horse
laugh" but who has ever seen an
equine gifted with the power of
speech? Such an animal would be
pronounced a miracle but so would
the telegraph and the telephone have
been a hundred years ago. Why,
even very recently a cure for CON
sumption would have been looked
upon as miraculus, but now people
are beginning'to realize that the dis
ease is not incurable. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will cure
it, if taken in time. This world-re-
nowned remedy will not make new
lungs, but it will restore diseased
ones to healthy state when all the
other means have failed. Thous-
ands can gratefully testify to this.
