Against His Physicians Orders,

LONDON, Oct Tin this city particu.
larly the news of Parnell's death came
down like a thunderbolt upon clubs
and in political circles Nobody so far
as at first known, was even aware he
was indisposed and consequently when
it became known the Irish leader was
dead the first idea formed was he had
committed suicide. As the day wore
on, however, it leaked out from state
ments of his intimate friends that Mr..
Parnell had complained to them
recently of not feeling as well as
usual, but it was not thought by
anybody that there was anything seri-
Gus in the symptoms referred to by the
late member for Cork city, though he
was last year. The last time Parnell
appeared in public was at Creegs, in
Ireland, September %, when he deliv-
cred lcpg speech upon the attitude
and alleged Inconsistencies of Dillon
and O'Brien. Upon that occasion Mr..
Parnell stated he was speaking in de-
tiance Of the orders of the doctors who
were attending him and who had ex-
pressly ordered him to keep his room.

A St. Louis gentleman whose afliction was

effected by joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, that he
called 1t to the attention of relative, who hap
pened to be none other than DR.. F. A. Barrett,

differed from the potash preparations in that 1t
was purely vegetable, and becoming interested
in it, began a series of investigations, and in Q
subsequent letter candidly admitted its curative
properties, and says:-
Wishing to test its virtues further, used 1t
in my own family, and prescribed it for patients
who required a general system regulator. As
result, can say it is almost absolute cure for
constipation, biliousness, dyspepsia, indiges-
ally come from a disturbed condition Of the
