IN REGARD TO THE EFFICACY OF
DR.. McKann's Cough Syrup,
the following testimonials speak for themselves:


Moline, ILL.,, Jan. 10th, 1885.
Mr., THOMAS, Rock Island, III.
Dear Sir: My daughter has been suf-
fering for over two years with severe
cough, We tried several cough remedies
which relieved her more or less, but did
not cure, when friend recommended us
to try DR.. McKann's Cough Syrup. We
did so, and after taking three bottles she
was entirely well. We think it the best
cough syrup made and recommend it to
any one troubled with cough or cold.
Respectfully,

The apparent paradox that the most trans

by simple experiment. Partly fill glass

Irishmen and the Sea.

Anthrepologists say that as a race
Irishmcn have never taken kindly to the
sea and never will do 50. This may be
libel upon an island people, but there
are some curious facts in support of the
accusation, if such it be. Irishmen make
better soldiers than sailors, and if they
possess the Greek gift of oratory they
hardly add to 1t the gift of seamanship.
Whether such a generalization be i'm.
perfect or not, it is singular that Irish
fishermen do not strike people as sue
cessful, thrifty, and enterprising. The
sea is with them in calm and storm, if
there were romantic tendencies to be
stirred by it. But the fisheries languish.
The men want boats, nets and piers, it is
said, as well as good markets and
lessons in the art of curing. They are
also hampered by the fish royalties
claimed by the shore-owning landlords,
about which we do not hear half as much
as we ought to do. Possibly it has been
part of British policy to prevent de-
Telopment of the Irish fisheries. and what
we witness to-day is not racial defect
but a repressed iastinct.-R9 Mall
