and proprietor and manager of Hi
Henry's famous minstrels, has been en-
tirely cured of run down condition,
and put in a healthy condition by the
use of "Blood Wine" Mr.. Henry's
words should carry weight, as he Is a
very conservative, sensible, successful
man and the one great thing that counts
most toward these characteristics is
good health. The following is a word
for word copy of Mr.. Henry's letter:
81 have been asked so many times
lately the cause of my good health and
general improved condition, that / feel
like letting you know that it has been
brought about by the use of your Blood
Wine which consider most remark
able remedy.
The remedy is one of sterling virtue
and all devoid of that nauseous or
drug taste one expects to find in medi-
cine, 1t being what might be termed
very pleasant beverage, while its moder-
ate cost places it within the reach of
ALL"

and was gradually growing weaker when
my attention was called to your remedy.
Without much faith in its efficacy
made trial of 1t, as / had previously
done with other remedies. My trouble
was general debility, loss of strength
and wasting of body. About eighteen
months ago purchased my first bottle
of your Blood Wine and took it steady
thereafter. After taking three bottles
began to improve, and that improve
ment has continued down TO the pres
ent day. During this time have
gained twenty-five(2 5) pounds in weight,
and good health which l formerly en-
joyed has entirely been restored.
have hesitated somewhat about sub
scribing my name to a testimonial which
might be used for advertising purposes,
but my sense of duty to other sufferers
placed as l was has overcome all scruples
in that direction, and you have my per-
mission to use this testimonial any way
that is likely to benefit the public"

the DwindIinE Majorfties.

Paris, Nov. 3.-Premier Combes has
not yet noticed the reports that he is

reason to believe that no decision has
yet been reached, and if the Premier
finally decides to retire it will not be
for some time. 1t is said that NJ.

recent reduced majority of the gov
eminent in minor votes in the Cham
Der of Deputies, but that he is appre-
hensive that the Socialistic group will
not support Some of the governments

scented in December and January.
