Is it Right
For an Editor to Recommend Pat.
ent Medicines?

From sylvan Valley News. Brevrad, y. O.
1t may be a question whether the edi-
tor Of a newspaper has the right 10 pub
licly recommend any of the various pro-
prietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as preventive of suffering
we feel il duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine in our family
for twenty years and have always found
it reliable. IN many cases a dose of
of this remedy would save hours of suf-
fering while a physician is awaited.
We do not believe in depending implic-
ity on any medicine for cure but we
DO believe that if bottle of Cham ber-
lain's Diarrhea Remedy were kept on
hand and administered at the inception
of an attack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the
presence of physician would not be
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by Bivins * Rhodes.

The Conditions.

II is known that Secretary Hay will
demand these conditions upon which
the president will accept the grave re-
sponsibility that would be imposed
upon him by the emperor:
l. That the Picking government fur
nish absolutely incontrovertible proof that
the foreign ministers and their suites are
not only alive. but that they are at lib
erty TO perform the functions Of their
several Offices without interference.
2 That the imperial government is pre-
pared TO maintain law and order and
protect foreigners and all Christians from
massacre.
3. That the Boxers shall be suppressed
and their leaders arrested and punished.
4. That the murderers of Christians,
whether the victims were officials of for
eign governments or only citizens or SUBJ
jects. shall be apprehended and punished
without delay.
5. That the several governments, in
Guiding the United States, Which have
troops and ships in Chaese jurisdiction
shall be accorded wide latitude either in
the work of assisting the imperial gov
eminent 10 restore order or in protect
ing their own countrymen from murder
and outrage.
6. That disloyal and revolutionary Off
Gals who are responsible for the exist
ing uprising shall be dealt with in such
a manner as to insure future peace.
There will be other conditions, but
they will be of a minor character, and
relate to the details of carrying out
President Mckinley's policy.
