MR.. j. Il. HARRIS,
DEAR SIH:-My en~
gagements r such that | have not
time to call the attention of medi-
cal profession 10 the cases that
might be collected from the mass
that have accumulated during
the thirty.eiGht (3S) years of
constant IS of the waters of Your
Lithia Spring. The waters of
the Lithia Spring are odorless and
cOlorlcss, free from salinary taste,
rather palatable. When taken in
Il considerable quantity they do
not nauseate, purge or produces
any feeling of discomfort. L find
from. aneanalysis Of the waters they
contain cloridc sodium, carbonate
potash, carbonate soda, carbcnatos
lithia, carbonate iron and Suiphatc
magncsia. The waters act directly
upon the mucous coates of tho
stomach md alimentary canals
they arc powerfully Alternative
and tonic. They are soothing to
intiamed or irritatcd surfaces.
They react upon the blood, chang.
ingm it from acid to alkaline.
In Indigestion. catarrh of stom-
ach and gastralgia, supplemented
with Il proper diet they are n err
tain cure. The action upon The
Kidneys is marked. The sodium,
potash, soda and lithia are the best
solvents of uric acid, all calculi of
an acid character, whether bileury
or ciptic are steadily dissolved, L
am confident that tho profession
will find it very useful in cases
where this class Of water is re-
quircd. Respectfully, gS

HALF.DOLLARS AS TICKETS.
Worlds Fair Managers Have to Guard
Against Chicago Dishonesty.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Fifty cents
will be the price of admission to the
Worlds Fair. The admission ticket
will not be a slip of paper or a card
board ticket that might be sold one
day and counterfeited the next, but
a silver half dollar, Or its equivalent
in coin from the minis of the Unit
ed States. The Exposition Direc-
tors are not taking any chances on
losing money at the gates by spuri-
Gus tickets.
They have learned a thing or two
from the managers of charitable ell
tertainments i'll Chicago, who say
that every time tickets are put on
sale in advance Of a performance
large numbers ofspurious cardboards
find their way to the box-ofice. No
matter whether the entertainment
is for the benefit of the helpless
widows, orphaned children or inirm
policemen, bad tickets always turn
up, and these interfere with the box
receipts. Honest people from out
side Chicago must be ciassed as
thieves in order to guard against
home dishonesty.

THE Detroit Free Press of this
week says: For years drunken
ness has been looked upon as an
evil not cuiable, except by the ex.
ertion of magnificent will power on
the part of the person who INDUCES
in the evil. AT present there ap-
pears to be some truth to the
claim that drunkenness is q disease
susceptible of cure by medical
treatment, but l saw a case yester-
day which, il I was the physician
in charge, would call for a good,
sound, personal thrashipg of the
patient. 1t was the case of a man
who blatantly acknowledged that
he had been cured by the chloride
of gold treatment and that he had
been a sober man over six months.
"But I Am tired of it," he con-
tinued. II had rather have the
fun of getting drunk and fooling
the doctor, than of staying SOBER"
Then he proceeded to fill up,
boasting of his smartness.

tents /; they should express their

ing in its benefcent influence, that

Missouri, by virtue of authority in
me vested, do hereby designate

IT WILL be borne in mind that
the annual meeting of the Trotting
and Pacing Horse Breeders Asso-
citation of Missouri will be held in
this city on tuesday Dec. sth, and
that it is necessary to make some
arrangements therefor. 1t is pos
sible tina. there may be three or
four hundred guests here at that
time and 1t is necessary to provide
for them ahallin which tomeet and
such an incidental welcome as Is
customary ON such occasions. Mex
leo has been particularly favored
by the association, it having held
its first two trotting meetings here
and all of its annual meetings since
the first, which was held at Sedalia.
The trotting and pacing horse
breeding industry is we'll repre-
scented in Audrain and contiguous
counties and is likely to be more
so as the seasons pass; for our
FAIR Association is second to no
one In the State for enterprise and
push. Our fair is acknowledged
to be the best county fair in the
State and our dealings with
owners and exhibitors have been
prominently honorable and sati-
factory. 1t is to be hoped that
every horseman within fifty miles
ofMexico will make it a point to be
present to assist in doing all that
may be done to promote the cause
of good horse breeding, developing
and racing.
