What is ScrofuIa

1t rs that impurity in the blood, which, aecumu.
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, caneerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to humors."
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the 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 Sarsaparillai is unequalled, and some Of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. If you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla a trial.

knowing that the Mexican duty was
but piece OF retaliation for our own
high duties charged at the
custom houses on the Rio
Grande. The minister's head is
level, if he does represent govern
ment run on the protective plan.
Indeed, not only are "liberal trade
relations" the proper policy for the
United States towards Mexico, but if
duties on the Rio Grande were totally
wiped out by both countries, the Gus
tom houses abolished and freight
trains allowed to cross that river both
ways as free as passing from one state
to another, would not the United
States and her trade and commerce
be the gamer? Mexico would then
sell her products to rs instead of to
England, as at present, and she would
do her trading in our markets, the
same as Texas farmer buys his sup
plies where he sells his cotton.

WHEN every other agency in town
fails, the newspaper is still expected to
do its duty. To it everyone turns
with his grievance expecting solace,
upon it everyone relies for assistance
towards every imaginable end of good.
Its hands are expected to be for the
assistance of everyone, everything
but itself. If not, it is soulless, mer-
cenary thing, creature for pelf, not
the public good. And yet, abstractly
considered, what real rights have the
public in newspapers? They are pri-
vate institutions and should be al
lowed the poor privilege of conducting
their affairs upon such business prin-
ciples as they think best. Many of
them would profit more by acting upon
Yanderbilt's idea.
