There are many medicines that paiiiate
asthma. There are few that do more than
relieve for time the oppressed breathing
OF the sufferer. There are few diseases
more troublesome and more irritating
than asthma. II 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-
bic boon that could be offered them. There
is remedy for asthma. DIR. J. c. Ayers
Cherry Pectoral has cured hundreds OF
cases of this disease, and testimonials to
its efficacy from those who have tried the
remedy are multiplying with every year.
The cases presented in the testimonials
that follow, may be taken as exemplifying
the quick and radical action of this great
remedy.

ASSISTANT Adjutant General Forces
ter. who stands close to Governor
Bra Hey, says that up to the present
the government has not given any no
tice to Kentucky that this State may
be called on for either men, money or
supplies. In the event the President
calls on the Governor for an appropri-
ation, Col Forester said he presum-
ed the Governor would call the Legs
lature together for this specific pur-
pose. In the event of war Col. For
roster does not think it probable that
the State militia will be ordered out
in a body. Il presume" said he ''that
the officers of companies would be &C
cep:el first, because of the advantage
they would have in drill. The rank
and file of militiamen, of course,
would be preferred over raw volun-
teers, but do not anticipate that it
will be made compulsory on them to
go to the front, as there will be no ne
cessity for long time at least"

On the first day of the present month
THE RECORD reached the ninth mile
post of its existence. Three years of
this has been under the present man.
agement Olly those who know some
thing of newspaper work can appre-
ciate the difficult task of publishing a
newspaper in Lancaster. In the last
twenty years ten different publishers,
some of them old and experienced men,
have tackled and given up the job.
thus The reason is simply because
the job and commercial work which
should be given the home paper is sent
to foreign concerns. A drummer came
here few weeks since and took orders
for enough job work to almost pay the
running expenses of The RECORD for
a month. OK course these business
men have a perfect right to send their
orders to Halifax, if they choose to do
so, but the rub comes in when they
bring their axes to our Office to be
ground. Let some of their relatives
die, and TIE RECORD must spend half
a day studying up good things to say
about them. When little sugar-coat-
ing is ID be done, why I'VE will let
THE RECORD do it, as its the home pa
per-" but giving The RECORD job of
work is a different matter. II we
were not prepared and equipped for
doing job work, it would be different
