Hay Fever.
A discovery for This Malady at Lasi--Re-
lief at Your Own Home.

No one but the sufferer from hay fever
knows the agony that attends this tor,
| turing malady. A continual round OF
sneezing, eyes that are weak, watery and
ifamod, nose that runs without cessa-
tion. and grows more soro every b our
inability TO breathe, nights that become
hours of torture, days that are long
drawn out and full OF su6ering-and all
this continues uutil the sufferer Is
obliged to pack up and 60 to some
locality where this disease does not
thrive. Formerly it was considered that
the only way hay fever could be relieved
was by a change of climate. the noun
tains of New Hampshire being noted for
this purpose. Now II is known by ply
sicians aud patients alike that sufferers
from this trouble can be relieved at home
py the use OF X-Zalia. The preparation
is an entirely new discovery 10 medicine,
its merits for the relief Of hay fever
only becoming known within the last year
or two.
XZalia is made from the sap of a GER
tain tree, combined with other vegetable
ingredients found in New Hampshire,
and contains the necessary medicinal
properties that have made New Hamp-
shire air famous for the virtuous quail
ties ii contains for tho cure OF this dis
ease. Many sufferers who were sceptical
have tried X-Zalia, and, to their surprise,
found relief. Among those who may be
referred to are Mr.. w. +. Lakin, Manager
Consolidated Sto-e Service Company,
Fiske Building, State street, Boston;
Mr. George E. Armstrong, OF the hrm of
Clark, Ward q Co., Bankers, Equitable
Building, Boston,; Mr.. &. II. Stevens,
Phillips Building, Boston; Mr.. Walter
l.. Frost, Congress street, Boston; Mrs.
William T. Richardson, IL Elm street,
South Framing ham, Mass. United States
Senator j. IL Gallingor, New Hamp-
shire.
II is expensive to take long trip to
the mountains for relief. II ooes not cost
you much TO try X-Zalia right here ut
home, and be convinced as to whether 1t
does what is claimed for it or not. Ask
your druggist for X-Zalia. IL he does
not keep it, send Il to The X-Zaiia Com
pany, No. Beacon street, Boston, Mass,
and they will send one of their largest
bottles, express paid, anywhere on line

Washington, D. c.. Feb. b
Minister Carlos, of Ecuador has
received a cable dispatch from
the Secretary Of State of Ecna-
dor stating that the Central
American government of Qua
.emala, Nicaragua, Salvador,
Honduras and Costa Rica had
accepted the invitation to join
in a convention Of American
republics with a view to unity
ing them. This is the first at
firmative step toward the con-
vention, which is designed to
bring a common understanding
of North, South and Central
American countries on the Mon
roe doctrine. Senior Carlos says
theEcuadorian government took
the initiative in calling the con
vention some time ago, he has
authorized the South and Cen
trail Ministers on the subject
and in accordance with this au
thority he will send to each OF
them at Washington a circular
relating he statement OF Ecua
dor concerning the convention.
The invitation to the United
States was forwarded direct and
it is expected that the answer
will be sent through United
STATES minister. no ReheFai
plan is to have the convention
held at Washington some time
in August, the exact date de-
pending on the answers. Senior
Carlos says he has no doubt
of the success of the convention
as it is responsible to a Univer
sal sentiment among the Latin
countries and is favora BILE to a
general upholding of the policy
enunciated by the United States
upon the Monroe doctrine.

EVENTS OF THE COMING

The coming year will be a
period memorable in the histo-
~ of the world, If but a part of
the plans of the United States
Government and European ma
tons is carried out. In the
United States there will be the
llveliest presidential campaign
ever held, and the Fifty fourth
Congress, now in session, will
furnish exceedingly interesting
debates on the tariff and finan-
cial questions until June. There
will be several exciting State
elections and many great polit-
ical speeches. Everyone will
watch with interest the progress
of the Venezuelan Commissions
inquiry, the results of the wars
in Cuba, in South Africa, in
Turkey, and the outcome OF
other complications now aris-
ing in the Old World.
1t is a remarkable coincidence
that at the beginning of a year

a day. This low price now
places The Republic within the
reach OF everyone. those who
wish TO keep posted on politics

al affairs during 1896 should a
