Blood Purifier.

RICHMOND, VA, October I, 1886.
To a0hoM 1t may 60nce7N:.
Tor twelve months I was fearful suf-
ferer from chronic eczema, during
which time I was III the hands of a most
skilful physician, faithfully using his
remedies, internal and external, with
ont deriving any benefit whatever. I
suffered night and day with the most in
tolerable itching, continuous headache,
loss of sleep, appetite ard strength.
My kidneys ard nervous system were
fearfully deranged, and my body was
covered with innur1erable boils. BY
taking three (3) bottles ofJOHNSTON' S
VEGETABLE NOLANDINE l have
been restored to perfect health. Ire
gard Nolandine as the best blood puri-
fer, ard the most powerful tonic ever
compounded, and I am not alone in
this belief. Very respectfully yours, &c,
II. B. GRUBBS.

If you wake up in the

bad taste in your mouth,
Languor, Dull Headache,

ton, take Simmons Liver
Regulator. It corrects
the bilious stomach,
sweetens the breath and
cleanses thefurred tongue.
Children as well as adults
sometimes cat something
that does not digest well,
producing Sour Stomach,
Heartburn, Restlessness,

dose Of Regulator will
give relief. So perfectly
harmless is this remedy
that it can be taken by
the youngest infant or
the most delicate person
without injury, no matter
what the condition Of the
system may be. It can
do no harm if it does no
good, but its reputation
for 60 years proves it
never fails in doing good.

THE HlADIN VI A@sHr
The stumbling block in the way Of o
settlement Of the State debt, even Win
n ,he terms laid down by Governors
Lee aad Mckinney in their respective
messages. IL Misunderstanding OF the
true meaning Of the word burden %
which has become associated insepara-
blv in the mind Of the public with the
idea of the principal Of the debt, which,
The Governors insist, must not be IN
creased beyond the terms Of the Rid
dlebsrger bill. With great respect to
orr Governors, this appears to be bad
6nsnciering. Il would, indeed, be 3
burden to carry out the terms 81 the
Riddlsberges hill, in that it provides as
we have recently shown, not merely o
per cent. intsrest upon some twenty
millions Of debt, but also for sinking
fund Of 2i per cent. more aggreEahns
over sf,lO0O0O annual charge. This
wonld DO n burden indeed upon our
present resources.
The folly is in undertaking. or pre-
tending to undertake, to pay OIL the
principal Of a debt which neither the
State is able to pay nor payment Of
which is demanded by tho creditors.
A bond for fifty or one hundred years
or a bond irredeemable, save at the
Measure of the Commonwealth, bearing
such rate Of interest as the State could
well afford to pay after providing
for the support Of the govern
ment. would make the annual charge,
which is all that weare concerned with,
far lees than that which the terms OF the
Riddlsberger bin require. We desire
earnestly to emphasize histruth' when
seems TO work go slowly into the minds
of our legislators. namely: that 1t Is i'm
material to Us if we assume the princi'
nal OF the entire debt, as claimed by
the bondholders. provided the liquida-
ton Of that principal Is deferred for
very remote period or at the State 8
own pleasure, provided only we are not
required to pay greater annual sum
