What is ScrofuIa

lis that impurity in the blood, which, accumu-
lating in the glands of the neck, produces un-
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to humors"
1t is a more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines tho worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient
it Is the most general of all diseases or affections
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured By taking Hoods Sarsa,
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequalled, and some of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful If you
suffer from serofua in any of its various fori,s,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla a trial

Dr.. W. c. Doane of Williamsport Pa, who is
q stanch personal friend Of Gov. Foraker Of
Ohio, received a letter yesterday from that
gentleman, in which he expresses himself on
the result of the election.
The governor says: Il do not need be con-

that brought it about, yet am accepting the
situation with fortitude and complacency

conscience and leaving record behind me

ton

PRINCETON COLLEGE.
The Course I'm Electrical Engineering
Receives Much Attention.

President Patton Of Princeton, in his report,
says: 1.-The number of students is considerably
increased, there being 75s. as against 676 last
year. Since the last meeting the college has
been provided with ample equipment for the
department Of electrical engineering. concern
ing which Prof. Bracket makes report and
recommendation substantially as follows: Two
buildings have been built-a magnetic con-
servatory and a dynamo building-connecte d
by large copper conductors, that they are
mutually supplementary. These buildings are
supplied with all the necessary instruments and
suitable devices for the most advanced and ac-
curate scientific work in electricity. Tho
course of study embraces: First, theory of
electricity and magnetism automatically pre-
scented; second, practical course in electrical
measurements; third technical course in APP
plications of electricity The course as sketched
will occupy for a man OF fair knowledge OF
mathematics and physics two years. 1t was
recommended by the trustees that the degree
of electrical engineer be granted to students
following out the course. Revisions have been
made in the curriculum of the John c. Green
school Of science to allow for the change made
in the division of the collegiate year. and for
several essential changes, all tending to elevate
and lberaliZe scientific work.
