MEXICAN ARMY
REFORM.

Great concern is noticed in
military and private circles
over the proposed reorganiza-
ton of the Mexican army. One
of the reforms under contem-
.plation by the secretary of war
and which has caused consid-
cradle speculative talk is the
compulsory service, such as is
in vogue in many European
countries. The idea meets
with the approval of all the
leading generals of the repub-
lie, as it will do away with the
method Of conscripting an un-
desirable element in the army.
Weekly meetings are being
held in the artillery bureau war
department. where the subject
is debated under the Presiden
cy of Gen. Alatorre. .
The subject of amalgamat-
ing the army into twenty bat
talions and ten regiments, each
to be provided with 1000 men,
is also being carefully consid-
ered.-Two Republics.

every thing else and a 'new thing
frequently sells for a short time
simply because it is new. But in
medicine, as in nothing else. the
people demand and will be satisfied
only with positive,' absolute merit.
The fact that Hoods Sarsanarilla
has stood its ground against all COM
petition, and its sales have never
wayered but have remained steadily
at the top, demonstrates. beyond any'
doubt, the intrinsic virtues of this
medicine. The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
