From Cold to Cure.
No relief in other remedies.

There are many medicines that palliate
asthma. There are few that do more than
relieve for time the oppressed breathing
of the sufferer. There are few diseases
more troublesome aud more irritating
than asthma. 1t interferes alike with
business and with pleasure. 1t prevents
enjoyment of the day and makes the night
a terror. A remedy for asthma would be
hailed by thousands as the greatest posi-
BILE boon that could be offered them. There
is a remedy for asthma DR.. J. c. Ayers

its efficacy from those who have tried the

THE WORD "YANxEE."
An Examination OF Several Theories 81
to Its Derivation.

An Examination OF Several Theories N
to Its Derivation.
AS the word Yankee frequently ap-
pears in the dispatches relating to the
difficulties with Spain the Indianapolis
News has been looking up the subject
and finds that the common story of it's
origin is that Yankees is variation
of YANKEES. or Yangees, or Yaunghees,
a name said to have been given by the
Massachusetts Indians to the English
colonists, being. it is supposed, an In
dian corruption of the word English,
or as some think, Of the French word
Anglais. The word is said 10 have been
adopted by the Dutch on the Hudson,
who applied it to the people Of New
England in contempt. The other the
DRY is that it was derived from the
Scotch word yankie, as applied to the
English settlers, as if English articles
meant necessarily excellent articles,
and others see the origin in the appli-
cation of the definition of excellent and
smart to the English colonists. This
application is held by good authority
to be untenable. James Fenimore
Cooper thinks it came from the corrup-
ton Of the word English by the In
dams. At all events, Yankee has come
| to have an implication of smartness or
ineentiveness-as applied in Yankee no.
tons, for instance And doubtless there
is some connotation of smartness as
we'll as unscrupulousness in the term
as applied to us. It is not altogether
simple appellation, as used today. 1t
is something of term of reproach; that
is, it is not like the term John Bull, as
applied to the Englishman, or Brother

sccution OF the Middle Ages.

which King Charles Albert, as he is
called, conceded to them complete civil

says the Pail Mall Gazette. In review

one is struck by its sacrifices and its
astonishing resistance to prosecutions
1t was founded in 1850 by Pierre Valdez,

lold Of Brescia and Savonarola, re-
nounced the good things of the world
to preach against the luxury Of the
church. the domination of the priest
hood and the temporal powers of the
pope, hoping thereby to restore the
church to its original simplicity. The
prosecutions of the Waldensians, begun
in 1854 by the king Of France, the prince
of Piedmont and the pope, continued
with more or less severity until the
middle Of this century The members
of this sect astOnished the world, and
even their enemies, by their resistance,
