Triumph fer Anti -Toxine.

BLAIBsvIILE, Pa, March l5.-Dr. !. p.
kiingensmith to-day pronounced as con-
valescent and out of danger four diphthe-
ria patients he has been treating with
anti-toNine. This makes the fifth recov-
cry here, the first one occurring month
or more ago, when anti-toXine was for
the first time used i'm Western Pennsyl-
vania by Drs. Rutledge and Klingen-
smith. All these eases were of the typical
order and such as usually result fatally.
The results obtained by the use of anti
toXine here are such as to cause physi-
clans to regard it as a specific for the
dread disease. What adds TO the interest
of these cases is that it is supposed to he
the most thorough and satisfactory test
that this remedy has yet received in the
United States.

4. pa ,OO6, with a value of SG6, ,6S5, 767.

Cooper for Free silyer.

PHILADELPHIA, March i5.-Ex- Repub-
lican State Chairman Thomas V. Cooper
has come out boldly for free silver, and
ind0rses Senator Caneron's views entire
~ on the money question. 1t is regarded
here as an Endorsement of Cameron for
President. In Il pabiic lecture on the
subject, THE silver question from the
CameroniaH view" he said:
"Senator Cameron his given his ideas
in three notable speeches. He advocated
the financial Independence Of the United
States. Il was a proclamation of freedom
i'll finance as in politics, and it made its
impress upon the world. The Cameron
view has been accepted with slight modi-
iications 10y such statesmen as Reed, Ne
kinlcy, Lodge and Boutwell, i'm the Unit
ed States by Balfour, England's greatest
thinker, and by every teacher of political
economy in the universities of England.
What nonsense, then, for captiOus enmity
at home to liz its hand in denunciation.
Since 1872 our people have consumed one
third less than they did before. 1 didn't
want To consume one third less. | would
rather consume one-third more and have
the fan of it. Silver is as sensitive a.
gold. When demonetized and ont of use,
it is reduced 10 commodity subject to
the law of supply and demand. Coinage
will make the needed command. rs il has
always done, and restore its value to par
iiy with gold. The Bland silver dollar
has more intrinsic value than any other
coin OF the same nominal value in the
world. The cranky thoughts uttered by
Cameron three years ago are vi.a!.zci to-
day, and the world hastens to gather
their fruits, So far as more abundant
currency is concerned. We are in happy
accord with the movement, and will have
it with the rest of the world ifit so please,
and if it don't we will have it anyhow
and supplement il with tariff which
will make gold, silver and abundant gov
ernmental revenue impregnable.'
