SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, &C.
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly 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, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tions usually ascribcd to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it IS the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely FREQ from it.

Chicago VIII Probably Howl

A special to the New York Recorder says il is
expected there will be q wild howl from Chi
cago when she learns that Indiana may ask for
and receive slice OF land twelve miles wide
of the eastern portion Of Illinois to justify a
claim that will be made on the next Illinois
legislature. Should the claim be held valid it
will include the great S25, 100000 stock yards
as well as the present site Of the worlds fair.
The immediate basis Of the claim results from
an Ohio claim filed against Indiana for a
tweive-miie strip Of land on the eastern bound
AIRY. As Indianas western boundary line was
originally fixed by measurement from the
eastern boundary and as recent surveys seem
to indicate that Ohio's claim is correct In
diana's boundary would take in that part Of
Illinois in which the windy city is situated.
