MlNNIhIN Mint TONIC.

One year ago to-day l placed on
the market my preparatiOn-Mouu-
tain Mint Tonic. | advertised in
The DAILY News" for a period 81
six months. Prior 20 this, the medi-
cine was unknown ~ the public
I-p to date. I2Oi bottles have been
sold. The Tonic has made friends
wherever it has gone, and practi-
cally no one has complained that 1t
is not eXac Is as represented.
Recently / have made valuable
addition to its composition enhanc-
ing its value very much. This has
been done at great expense to me,
while the price to the public remains
the same. namely: One dollar per
bottle. six bottles for five dollars.
The addition spoken Of above j.
directed especially to the relief of
indigestion in its varied forms.
With proper diet the Tonic will
cure the worst forms of this tor
menting affiiction with its hundreds
of obscure symptoms. .:Often referred
to other organs than the stomach.
By this addition, its virtues as a
general tonic and invigOratOr and
blood purifier, are not impaired IN
the least. No better medicine can
be found for the relief of those dis
eases that are so prevalent IN the
spring months.
take this opportunity to thank
my friends for the support they have
given this Tonic. and promise that
Mountain Mint Tonic. as improved
will give still better satisfaction.

contingent fund appropriation, the
expenses of the office have been paid
out of the school fluid, either princi-
pal or interest, besides the payment
of the salary of clerk in the office
of the commissioner of agricul-
ture, part of the time at SO
per month and part of the time
at 300 per month; which salary
has not been included in the state
ment referred to by the Times
Union and Citizen as haYing been
published in THE NEWS.
For the six years of Mr.. Sheats'
administration covered by the pub
lished records, the item of miscel-
laneous expenses, amounting to
sS,34S.56, comprises postage, $3.50 81,
and printing, stationery, Office equip
ment and incidental expenses, 81
4 362. "a. These are all grouped to-
gether for the reason that in the
/ record of warrants paid by the treas
urer, only the name of the drawee is
given, the account for which the
warrant was drawn, showing what
/ it was for, being fled in the comp
/ troller's office. An investigation
thereof would disclose the items of
the account.
If Major Russell's expenses were
greater than appears by the state
ment above referred to. a diligent
search through the treasurers' re-
ports fails to disclose the fund from
which they were paid.
THE NEWS again protests that it
has been drawn into the discussion
OF these matters by reason Of its at
tempt to defend the memory of
Major Russell from the innuendOes
of a contemporary, made in the in
terest of Mr.. Sheats, and seriously
rejecting upon Major Russell's ad-
ministration of the office he so long

in, he left word for him to come at

some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come, as
the child was much better. The

me a number of anecdotes of her IA

and notable character for good many
years. Among them was the follow

The battle between the Chesapeake
and the Shannon took place just off the
Massachusetts coast. and a sailor in
some way got ashore and hurried to
Boston with the news. 1t was in the
night, and he went straight to The Cen
tinel office, where he found Major Rus
sell, to whom he told the story, includ-
ing the death of Lawrence.
What were his last words?" said the
major.
Don't know" said the man.
didn't he say, Don't give up the

Don't know" said the man.
ooh, he didr' said the major. "I'n
make him say it." And he did-so
