], d. WILCOX.

One of the Oldest settlers in Penna.
j. d. Wilcox was born sixty-seven
years ago ard has lived most of his time
in Olmsville, Tioga Co., Pa, where he
is practical farmer and a successful
country merchant. He is deservedly
popular, known for many miles around,
and by strict integrity and honesty he
has attached to himself host of friends,
and has received from the Government
the Posmastership of his village. He
says: had been weighed down by poor
health for a long time and gradually
grew worse until some four years ago the
crisis came. At that time four of our
best physicians could give me no
encouragement, and some of them
said l would not live a year.
commenced to use DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Cure. My doctors said your remedy
might help me for time, but that
would not be here year hence. took
Swamp Root for nearly twelve months
three times a day, and when the rheuma-
tism set in on my shoulders and arms
used your U. & o. Anointment rubbing
in thoroughly over the affected parts, al
so across my chest, liver and back, warm
ing it in with hot fiat iron. The
rheumatism was so bad for while that
could not get either hand to my face.
My health now is very good; in fact, l
think am as well as most men at my
age-sixty- seven years. give your
Swamp Root entire credit for saving my
life and the good health l now enjoy is
due to its use. have worked some on
the farm of late and do most Of the
chores myself.
This is not written for publication, but
if it will give others confidence in your
great remedy, have no objections to
your using it as best you can. With
best regard l remain, j. d. Wilcox.
This is but one of the hundreds of let
ters received daily by DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
and five thousand dollars will be given
to any one who will prove any portion
of the above testimony untrue. Swamp
Root is beyond question the greatest ais

DRINKING AMoNa woMrN.

In the City Court OF Brooklyn, recently,
two women were examined with the view TO
having their mental condition determined by
jury. They have lived for several years
in their own house in very comfortable cir
cumstances, having ample means for their
support. The legal proceedings thus COM
menced concerning them were instituted by
near relatives whose testimony showed that
both sisters have been confirmed drunkards
for several years, and that they are now
suffering from alcoholic dementia. Even
while in the court it was evident that they
were under the influence of alcohol, and did
not take in their surroundings. Some of the
neghbors testifie that they were seldom
sober. and that they frequently quarrellel
and threw lamps and other missiles at each
other, and have sometimes appeared in the
street but partially dressed. One Of tho
witnesses, physician, testified that on call
ing at the house recently. he foun one of
the sisters lying drunk under the bed, and
money and iewelry scattered on the floor.
In view of these facts, the jury, naturally
enough, found that the sisters were incapa-

Bis Figures About Brooklyn Bridge.

No doubt many people have wondered
what becomes of the millions OF tickets
sold and collected annually by the New
York and Brooklyn Bridge Company.
One who has given some thought to the
subject tells what might be done with
them, and incidentally gives other figures
showing the magnitude Of the traffic on
the Bridge. Here they are just as he
gave them:
"Over forty-one million Of people
crossed the bridge in 1891 on the bridge
cars and promenade. Could all the hands
which have purchased tickets be joined
together at the end of the year, a circle
could be formed 14,112 miles In di-
amcter, or AZ, 1886 miles in circumference;
distance equal to one and one-half
times around the earth. II the grand
chain were suggested, and the fastest
trains and ships employed, it would be
nearly three months before one could
make the bow and return to his place be-
side his partner.
"a solid square Of 20, 634 columns of
1000 men each, covering over three
square miles, or 1000 acres, could be
formed Of the ticket purchasers.
"It would take 6S7, ,S06 passenger
coaches, SLOWING sixty persons to the
coach, or As, S53 trains of fifteen coaches
each to carry this crowd away. II q

without stopping during tho twenty
four hours, it would require over eight
months to count them. II hollow squares
of 300 feet square can be conceived tC

THE rvrrcr OF DRINK on INDUSTRY.

A large factory in London, which employs
1000 hands, has been compelled 70 suspend
business because so many were disabled by
Sunday drunkenness. This caused an an

Iron Company, with force Of $50 men In

Deafness Can't be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and thatfs by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when il Is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the inham-
nation can b. taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be

caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

WHAT appears to be n fake inter-
view with Mr.. James S. Clarkson in
reference to Mrs. Annie Besant is
copied from the Chicago Ecenffg

Now, our recollection is that
Mrs. Besant was ~lecturing in
this country the night the cable
despatch arrived, announcing Nine.

place over a week previously. On the
platform, Mrs. Besant suddenly an
nounced that ''she had a summons"
