Mr.. j. r. GRINsTEAD, Sonora, KY,
says: My children have sometimes had
boils and other signs ofblood impurities,
with loss of appetite, ETC., at which
times | have found Swift's Specific
most successful remedy, in no instance
failing to effect speedy and permanent
cure.
'SwIFT's SPECIFIC is a great blessing
to humanity" says Mr.. P. E. Gordon, of
725 Broad Street, Nashville Tenn, ''for
it cured me of rheumatism of very bad
type, with which had been troubled
for three or four years S. S. S. cured
me after l had exhausted everything
else.
Mr.. RUSSELL MYRICK, of the firm of
Mvrick & Henderson, Fort Smith, Ark,
saws he wishes to add his testimony to
the thousands which have already been
given as to Swift's Specific. He says he
d rived the most signal benefit from its
use to cure painful boils and sores result
ing from impure blood.
WHEN taken for few days, potash
mixtures impair the digestion, take away
the appetite, and dry up the gastric
Juices which should assist in digesting
andsassimilating the food. Swift's Spe-
cifc has just the opposite effect; it i'm
proves digestion, brings appetite, and
builds up the general health.

Sad if True.

An article in last Mondays N. Y.
Sun gives what purports to be the real
condition of the finances of Johns Hop.
kins University, Baltimore.
According to this writer, John W..
Garrett wrecked the B. & O. railroad
and in so dong ruined the University,
whose chief endowment consisted of one
and one.half millions of b. & O. rail-
road stock: that the trustees of the
University wished to cell the stock
when it was quoted on the market at
more than one hundred per cent pre-
MUM, but that John w. CARROTS IN
huence with them was sufficient to
defeat any outright attempt to sell the
stock that the reason why Garrett was
unwilling to have this stock sold was,
that, he, knowing the real condition Of
the railroad was unwilling to buy it
himself and knew that if so large Il
holding of the stock passed into hands
that he could rot so easily control as
the University trustees, that his man
agement would be looked into and the
true state Of affairs of the railroad dis
covered that upon the elder CARROTS
death. the son Robert attained the
presidency Of the railroad and having
neither the ability nor the courage Of
his father, staggered and fell beneath
the load. the real condition of affairs
became known, the fancy ten per cent
dividends ceased and the University S
resources failed.
Every one who knows anything con-
corning the matter knows that the main
fact, the loss of revenue, is too true,
but that the elder Garrett was so di-
rectly responsible for it, all will be slow
to believe. Yet this article, evidently
written by one intimately acquainted
with the facts, renders it difficult
thing to doubt the accuracy of the facts
stated and the justice of charges laid.

Fruit Packing in Maryland.

Last year the pack in Maryland
amounted to 100000 cans, of which
100000 were of corn, 100000
were of tomatoes, and 100000 were
of peaches and miscellaneous small
fruits. The pack this year for Mary
land, at the highest estimate. will not
amount to more than 100000 cans,
of which 100000 will be corn, 90
100000 tomatoes and 1O,OO0,0r0 peach
es and miscellaneous small fruits.
