A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
SorofuIous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"when five years old my little boy had
scrofula ON his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form Of red pimpaes
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break ont again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. bfy
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and 1t has never since returned" !"

Van Wyck's Huge Power.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The Herald
says: "More than 900 persons will
directly or indirectly draw pay from
the city in the first administration OF
the mayor of Greater New York. The
salaries of 81, 900 Of these, whose names
will be actually on the city's pay roll,
will aggregate 33 million dollars. Part
of this amount includes the salaries
and patronage of the other officers
elected on Tuesday, but this is COM
paratively small, most of the total
representing the patronage Of Greater
New York's mayor, Robert A. Van
Wyck. A conservative estimate OF
those who will draw pay indirectly
from the city through city contracts
and the like, Is $4,000. Mayor Strong,
at the time the greater city charter
was passed, estimated this force as
equal to, IL not exceeding, tho actual
number of all Office holders. Second
only to the President OF the United
States in the value Of his patronage,
the first mayor of the greater city
is first in the significance OF this pa
tronage. With his colleagues elect OF
the same political party as himself,
Mr.. Van Wyck can lead an army OF
office holders and those indirectly
employed by the city as great as the
army of the Potomac"
