Talking Of patent medicines

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some of
them are between you and US.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
s0e,yt/ilng and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
stuff, you lose faith in e0eyy-
thing.
And. you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, n. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what Their
makers say they'll do-you
get your money back.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 21-The preIimin-

has ended. Both sides. while confess
sedIy considering only the torn @of the

of the accused. But inasmuch as the
real trial upon the indictment, the pro-
duction of testimony and the argument
upon it is yet 10 come, it is strange that
so much time is consumed on the pre-
liminarieS. ei @sr 4
That deep feeling exists in the pres

Prof. Smith had concluded his reply 10
the argument of the committee, fully
half all hour was wasted i'll motions,
suggestions and points of order con-
corning how to take the next step. The
prosecution wanted vote taken on the
sufficiency of the first charge. The
other side wanted the vote taken OH
motion declaring the objections to the
hrst charge sustained and dismissing
the charge. The moderator ruled that
the motion to dismiss the charge could
not be coupled with the others, and finally
it was agreed that the motion should be
that the objections to the full charge
were sustained Argument upon that
motion by members of the court will be

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-There APP
pears to be more than usual interest at
tached to the Forthcoming annual report
of the commissioner of pensions. for the
reason that the pension appropriation
figures cOnSplcuouily i'll the annual
budget OF the government. Ii has been
pretty we'll understood for some time
past that the estimates for the next us
ca. year would show large increase
over any previous year. This eXpecta-
ton was based Oh the fact Of the large
issue of pensions during the year con-
Bequent upon recent pension legislation
which admitted to a penS0nabie status
a very large number of soldiers who
were not penSiOnable under the former
laws.
In few days the report of Gen.
Raum will be completed, and full
statement of the condition OF the pen
sion office will be presented. The state
ments have been made that the amount
that will be required for ptnsio rs dur
ing the next fiscal year will nearly reach
the enormous sum Of $4,000. 900. The
work of compiling the figures is, how
ever, sufficiently advanced to show that
this estimate is in excess of the
Actual Requirements.
Since the passage of the disability
b Ii there has been a rapid increase III
the amount needed to pay the pensions.
For the year 1890 81 the total approprla-
ton on account Of pensions WAS about
Sl29,0O0,t00. Last year there was an
increase to $l44.000,O00. But. as Gen.
Baum will state in his annual report,
this amount fell short of the actual de
mandS by about SIS, 100000. so that there
is deficiency OF that amount. Con
gress will be asked to make an appro-
priation OF about SlSO,000,0U0 for
the coming fiscal year, about
blS,000,000 of which Is in an
ticlpatlou OF an increase of thai
amount over the actual expenditures OF
last year 1t is the judgment OF Gen.
Raum that, while this amount IS likely
to be increased next year or two. yet he
feels confident that the maximum limits
are nearly reached. 1t is argued that
the great bulk of the pension apprOprl-
alton at present is used in making hrst
payments, carrying arrears, and there
fore, as soon as the great rush OF appli-
cations uuGrr the disability act Is over
a rapid decline in first payments VIII
occur. 1t is understood that the first
payments last year aggregated over
$4,000. 600, which covered the back pay
in the 81 900 eases allowed.
