Able Testimony.

With a case of Humphreys Specifics
at the expense Of few dollars, every
family may have in their hands source
of relief and help in any emergency,
and may not only render themselves
comfortable, but in thousands OF cases
effect an ultimate cure. The following
unsolicited testimonies are TO the point
and convincing: Frank A. Fry, New
port, Pa: "There is much virtue in
Humphreys Specifies, which have
been revelation TO our family,
myself included. often have our
family said, as we administered
doses Of the precious stuff 10 our little
children, sit is worth its weight in
gold There is not a piece OF furni-
ture more highly priced IN our bedroom
than our neat Humphreys Medicine
Case. | could write a volume about
Humphreys Specifics" V. {. Wass,
Centrevllle, S. Oak: 81 have used
Humphreys remedies in my family for
the past six years, and always with good
results. Individually l can say that l
have never found anything to equal
Humphreys Specific number 10 for
Catarrh. 1t always brings speedy
and lasting relief. You may
refer anyone to me for
recommendation of your remedies" A.
G. Earnshaw Il Co., West Superior,
Wis: Il have used Humphreys Spe-
cifcs for eight years, and find they are
rs necessary in my family as bread and
butter. / have induced all my friends
to use them, and they are always reli-
able if used in time" D. Stewart
Elliott, Coffcyville. Kas.: 1--WE have
found Humphreys Medicines to be in
valuable in the family, and no reason
able amount of money could induce US
to part with our Case if we could not
ret another"

No, indeed. The REGISTER has ex-

The Supreme Court decided simply

Congress to adopt whatever rules it

The gag-rules OF the infamous Billion

by a Democratic House and that body
restored to what REED boosted it was

gardless Of the position of the present dele
CATION from the State of New York. The
West and South may possibly get together

be Mr.. Cleveland again. The Republican
nominee has been settled upon for some
