SALEM, Mass March 23, 1891.
''When at Stuttgart, Germany, during the win
ter of 1sS1-82, was suffering from severe
attack of bronchitis. which seemed to threaten
pneumonia. met at the Hotel Marquardt,
Commander Beardslee, of the United States
Navy. In speaking of my sickness, he re-
marked Doctor, you can cure that chest
trouble of yours by using an ALLCoCK's Po-
RoUs PLASTER That may be true,' I an
swered, but where can get the plaster?'
Anywhere in the civilized world and surely
here in Stuttgart. Whenever have a cold
always use one and find relief I sent to the
drug store for the plaster, and it did all that my
friend promised. Ever since that I have used
it whenever suffering from cold, and have
many times prescribed it TO patients.
"The ALLCocK's PLASTER is the best to be
had, and has saved many from severe illness,
and undoubtedly if used promptly, will save
many valuable lives. Whenever one has Sc
we're cold they should put on an ALLCoCK's
PLASTER as soon as possible. 1t should be
placed across the chest, the upper margin just
below the neck; some hot beef tea or milk will
aid in the treatment
'This is not patent remedy in the objec-
tionable sense of that term, but a standard
preparation of value. The Government sup
plies for the U. S. Army and Indian Hospital
Stores contain ALLCoCK'S PLAsTERs, and the
medical profession throughout the world are
well aware of their reliability and excellence.
I shall always recommend it, not only to break
up colds, but as useful in allaying pains in the
chest and in the back. 1t is preparation
worthy of general confidence"

A SCURRILOUS ATTACK.

In the course of his remarks here
the others evening, Ignatius Donnelly
alluded to John Sherman as "the arch
flend of American politics." and de-
clared him to be ''worse than all the
people who have been in the peniten-
tiaries put together" How such re-
mark must make an anarchist dance
and howl with glee, for it is right up
on par with anarchistic frothings.
What an example to set before the
youth of our land-the holding up OF
one of Americas greatest statesmen,
as worse than all the murderers and
other Williams ever confined in the
penitentiaries. What Informed views
of life such statements are apt to
give them. 1t leads them to look up
on all public servants in high or low
positions as rascals. 1t is inculca-
ting spirit of discomfort and breeds
a feeling to look upon every man as a
rascal, but Yourself, and be very au-
tious as to the ideas you hold to your
own honesty. He who reasons and
thinks will at once note them as but
mouthings of political demagogue
who seeks to float himself upon the
political tide of discomfort.
John Sherman stands as one of the
worlds great financiers, and to him
perhaps more than any other Ameri-
can, belongs the honor Of preserving
the nations credit, by the resump-
tion of specie payments. His name
connected with financial affairs has
for years been guarantee for honest
money. Probably no man is more
hated by the advocates of a cheap,
dishonest currency, than is he. But
his record and character is such that
their mud and shafts of malice fail to
mar it. Such attacks as Donnelly's
can do John Sherman no harm, for he
towers too for above the cryptogramist
to be reached by him. The harm of
such reckless statements comes from
their effect upon the general public,
by stirring up a spirit of discomfort
and destroying their confidence in
their public servants.
