Talking Of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some of
them are between you and US.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines If
they didn't profess to cure
e0e.ythsng -a and 50, between
the experiments Of doctors,
and the experiments Of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money IN the
stuff" you lose faith IN esvxy-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell : remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the ,7sk Of its doing just |
what it processes to do. !

journal Mr. Enloe objected TO having
been marked present and not voting

that the journal be corrected.

speakers on either side, took the floor

YOUNG Mr. BLAIVgs MISTAKE.
He was Elected from the Floor OF the
House Yesterday.


He was Effected from the Floor OF the
House Yesterday.
NEW YoRK, July 10.-A Washington
dispatch in to days World says "There
is a story a1oat tonight which has a
lingo Of sensation in it, tits to the eff.
feet that Speaker Reed had young
James q. Blaine summarily elected
from the floor of the House to-day.
Young Blaine is clerk to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, Of which Repre-
sentative Hit Of Illinois is chairman,
and as clerk Of that committee he has a
right TO be on the floor whenever any
bill from that committee is under con-
sideratlon.
The story is that to-day he not only
went upon the floor when the Foreign
Affairs Committee had no business be
fore the House, but that he raised q
row with one Of the pages and created a
disturbance in the vicinity Of a mem
Der who was then addressing the
House. Speaker Reed, noticing the
disorder, sent for Doorkeeper Tom
Coakley and ordered him TO remove the
intruder.
"Coakley accordingly expanded his
chest and In the best style Of the art
stepped over to young Mr.. Blaine and
told him It was the Speakers order that
be should get outside Of the Chamber
Young Blaine demonstrated a good
DEAL but he went out II so happened
that the story could not be confirmed
to. night, for both Speaker Reed aud
Mr.. Coakley were out Of town. Young
Mr.. Blaine himself was seen, and he
gave a general denial 70 the story, but
he explained that he had entered the
Chamber in the afternoon under the
impression at the time that bill from
HIS committee was under consideration,
and that finding he had made a mistake
he came out again Immediately.
"He said that he had had some dis
pute with the Doorkeeper as to whether
he had, at that particular time, right
to go on the floor or not The en-
ployes Of the house say that young Mr..
Blaine is very troublesome. that he IS
in the habit Of asserting rights which
do not belong to his position, and that
he acts Ike one who regards himself as
superior TO all rules. Speaker Reed. It
Is said, has had many previous provo
cations to bring the young gentleman
TO order, but that he refrained from
doing so lest his action might be at
tributed to the well known strained re-
lations which have long existed be-
tween himself and Mr. Blaine, sr.
