How He Might Have Been Treated Under
Gertmin Nnteh Gnnhitinna of Lha Past

Certain Noted Conditions of The Past.
New York Evening Post, March gin.
Mr.. Dana is determined TO prepare
Judge Brown for his case which comes
before him in a week or two, and is ac-
cording!y making that officer fully nc.
Quaintcd with the reflections upon it of
the rural journalistic mind all over the
country. To-day tAcre is an article in the
Tribune, undoubtedly furnished or inspired
by the defendant himself, showing the
monstruslly of dragging him to Wash.
lEgtOn. II appears from this learned
commentary that the law of libel in the
District Of Columbia to-day was started by
the infamous court of star Chamber
and by it transmitted to Lord Holt and
Lord Mansfield, who under it convicted
several eStimable men. That is the law
in the District Of Columbia to-day, and
consequently numerous articles on
hawaii, sugar Trusts and so on, which
are lawful and proper criticisms in
other states, would be criminal libel in
the District Of Columbia. Consequently
II Mr. Danna be dragged to Washington,
we may any of us be dragged for lawful
and proper criticisms. Cnhappily for all
tins learning the libel on Mr. Moves
would Dc libel in any State in the Union
II WAS AS follows:
The corporation ths Associated Press, IL
organized under the Illinois state law, and tho
provisions OF that salute respecting the per
sonal liability of directors are amusing, We

No lawful and proper criticism here.

Washington in a diniug-room car, and fed
on 'Marengo chicken" and ginger ale,
and logged IN hotel. he would have been

close to the head. Under Lord Hol. or
Lord Mansfield, he would probably have
been put in the pillOry, and pelted with
rotten eggs, stale Cabbages, and apple
cures--a sight piteous TO behold. The Old
man must not try TO persuade US that the

The Sacrifices Made by the National GUARD
Medical Alen.

Medical Men.
y. Y. Medical journal.
From an officer of one of the reGi-
ments we have received u letter in which
he says that it seems to him that ut this
time it is very appropriate to have some
mention made in the medical journals OF
the medical officers Of the National
Guard. He does not think that the gem
cral public is aware Of the sacrifices they
have to make-unless it may be their
patients whom they have to neglect dur
ing their absence. lie says that in his
experience he has found the surgeons
particularly attentive, not only to their
medical duties, but also to their military
duties.
They are always, he testifies, exceed
ingly faithful, and their moral support
to the commanding officer is much
greater than is supposed. There is no
member Of the staff, he adds, to whom
the commanding officer can so readily
appeal AS to his surgeon. The surgeons
help him in the discipline of his com
mand, ami of course in the sanitary and
commissary departments they are in
valuable. Every article of food is passed
upon by the surgeons, the cleanliness Of
the posts comes under their observing
eyes, and they share with the rest of the
command every danger.

Oycrwork, worry and nervous
excitement is running the health OF
thousands of women. The cares
of the household, tho toll in the
shop and behind the counter, the
late hours which social duties inn
pose, each of these tends gradually
to undermine the constitution, de-
pletc and poison the blood, weaken
the nervous system and leave the
victim unfit for work or pleasure.
Especially is this time in the
spring, when, owing to impure and
impoverished blood, pale and
dcbilitated women look at each
other in sympathy and dismay, and
wonder whence help is coming.
Something is needed to purify
the blood, and build up, strengthen
and sustain the entire physical
system. Pure blood is required to
feed the nerves, a good appetite
and digestive strength are de-
manded to keep the body strong
and vigorous, and sound and
refreshing sleep must be supplied
to restore the exhausted energies.
BY its power to respond to all
these needs Hoods Sarsaparilla
has proved itself the greatest friend
of woman. Thousands write that
they have been given health and
strength by its use. IL is the
great blood purifier, and conse'
quently the true nerve tonic. i
possesses exactly those invigora'
ting, building-up and sustaining
qualities that tired and nervous
women need. Hoods Sarsapa
rilIa makes pure, rich blood

When morning came, however, the

strongly advised by friend, who had
suffered somewhat similarly, to try
Hoods Sarsaparilla. She said it had
cured her and would no doubt cure
my wife. So we tried it, and to say
that its effect is wonderful is only US
