DANGER JUST AHEAD
A Prominent Professor Speaks About
the Threatening Things Abroad
at This Time of the Year..

sit is surprising how many people are
suffering today from so-called coughs, colds
and influenza"
The remark was made by a very promi-
nent professor, connected with one of the
leading New York hospitals. Continuing,
he said:
ct is not these things that are troubling
people, but it is an advanced form of our
old enemy, the grip. People feel out of
sorts, sneeze, have pains in the muscles and
bones, have no appetite, lose all interest in
the world and wonder what is the matter.
1t is the grip, nothing else.
Now, all such symptoms need to have
prompt treatment. The attack must be
met and repealed at once, or it is certain to
run into something serious. | know of but
one way to certainly avoid these troubles
which are now SO common, and that Is to
Immediately counterfeit them by using a
good, pure, strong stimulant. Nothing of
the ordinary kind, but something pure and
scientific. For this purpose nothing has
ever equalled Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey,
which is acknowledged today by physicians
and scientific people to be the only pure,
medicinal malt whiskey upon the market"
The words Of the professor are true, and
they carry a wonderful meaning to many
men and women who are suffering with the
first symptoms Of grip, or else grip in its
advanced stages. For all such people we
offer a word of advice, which is to take the
best means to overcome these troubles and
do not permit any dealer to swerve you
from your purpose to ave that which has
proven itself by years of use. to be the best
and purest stimulant in the world.

THE NAVAL BRIGADE
Assemblyman Salinger Introduces a
Bill BY Request.
Specidl to the Jersey City News.

NpcCtIt 10 tHE JEfSt8 Ctlg 4fCUos
TRENTON, Feb. z, 1S94.-Two important
bills were introduced into the House yester-
day, one of which was by Mr.. Salinger and
provides for a naval militia for the protec-
ton of the sea coast and navigable waters of
the State. The sailors are to be connected
with the National Guards, and are to consist
of two battalions, one to be located in the
northern and the other in the southern part
of the State. The bill was introduced by re-
quest. 1t is understood that as soon as the
brigade is formed the United States Govern
ment will supply the necessary arms and
equipments and vessels of war for the per-
Torrance of the duties required.
The other important bill is No. ia, and
was introduced by Mr.. Storrs. 1t requires
the consent of the governing body of NUM-
CAPABILITIES for the construction of street rail-
ways on streets and highways. After public
notice has been published of such applica-
ton, requires consent OF property owners
before poles or posts can be erected, but
Circuit Court can appoint a commission to
appraise damages upon application. APP
peal from assessment damages may be de-
oided by a jury.
The other bills introduced were:-
No. 1lO-Mr. Austin. Appropriates 5000
for the current expenses Of the Bureau Of
Vital Statistics.
No iii-Mr. Denise. Provides for the pay
ment by the State Treasurer of the expenses
incurred by the manager of tha Agricult ural
Experiment Station in printing all letters
issued from the station.
No. 1i2-Mr. Ross. Authorizes courts and
Justices of the Peace of aay county to direct
prisoners to be confined in the jails OF adjoiu-
ing counties In certain cases.

pound has been prepared. New strength new
life, and new health comes to the whole sys-
tenn.
Paine's celery compound is the result of
the lifelong study and experience of one of
the ablest physicians of his day, Prof. Edward
E.. Phelps, M. D., LII, D., of Dartmouth col
lege.
His experience was one of the largest, his
scientific knowledge surpassed that of any
practitioner of this generation.
Prof. Phelps first prescribed Paine's celery
compound, the remedy that gives strength to
the weak, that makes the sick to be well, that
gives food to the nerves, that enriches inn
poverished blood, that cures rheumatism, kid
ney complaints, liver troubles, and all dis
eases that arise from an impaired nervous
system, the remedy that is imcomparably the
greatest in the world.
Thousands it has made well. Here is what
Mrs. E. D Butler of Cleveland, Ohio, says:
81 have used Paine's celery compound for
headache and it gives immediate relief. l
had used several kinds of headache drops
AMI powders, and at last tried Paine's celery
compound which helped me at once. l think
it is the best remedy for the nerves that
ever tried, and l have used several kinds"

MORE BILLS FOR THE GOVERNOR
Special to the Jerseu Citu Meas

kENttAA ~ 80 wy &N
TRENTON, Feb. Z, 1s94.-The House Com
mittee on Passed Bills took some more of
their repealers to the Governor yesterday,
and they met the same fate as those which
were rendered to him Monday night. The
Republicans got into a quarrel among them
selves yesterday afternoon over adjourn
ment. Mr.. McEwan, the leader. at the re-
quest of some of the members, had prepared
the usual resolution for adjournment until
Monday evening. Mr.. Storrs and the other
reformers want a session this morning, in
order that they could pass some more parti-
san wanted-by-the-people bills.
So just before adjournment Mr.. Storrs
usurped Mr.. McEwan's place and introduced
the resolution for this mornings session.
Mr.. McEwan looked very weary as he arose
to offer an amendment. The Speaker ruled
that a motion to adjourn could not be
amended, and much to the disgust of those
who wanted to go home for the week, MI.
Storr's Reform motion prevailed.
The fish and game bill, which proved so
disastrous to Mr.. Storrs in the morning, was
r-econsidered yesterday afternoon and sent
back to second reading for amendment.
Whoever drew the bill, forgot to put in a
section to terminate the terms of the present
commissioners.
