REPEAL or HOG LAW.

The repeal Of the hog ordinance is
causing considerable discussion at this
moment, There are those who make the
contention that 1T is time TO free the
city from hog pens and the filth and
stencil they bring, while there are 9th.
ers who are as vigorous in advocating
them. ut the city council has settled
that question. 1t did it at its last meet.
Ing, when it instructed he ordinance com.
mitee to prepare an ordinance repeating
the hog ordinance. The committee has
nothing to do but draw that sort of an
ordinance and submit it to the council.
The latter will do the rest, and, of course
the hog law will be repealed, if the same
unanimity OF opinion prevails on the
subject as at the last meeting. The or.
dinance committee will. of course, draw
such an ordinance, Just as it was in.
structed to do, and the question will, in
all probability be disposed Of at the next
meeting of the city Lawmakers.

The Doctors Statement.

St. John, HANS, Nov. l6th.-This town
has a genuine sensation in the case of a
little boy, the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Mcbride. DR.. Lines, the attending
physician, says:
Scarlet Fever of a very malignant type
brought this child very near to death and
when the fever left him, he was semi-para-
lyzed in the right leg and right arm. He
also lost hearing in his right ear and his
mind was much affected.
"His parents tried another treatment for
q time and when I was recalled I found
that he was having spells very like Epilep.
sy and was very bad and gradually growing
worse. I advised the use of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and in a short time the child be.
gan to improve. Inside of a week the
nervous spasms or epileptic seizures ceased
altogether"
MI. and Mrs. Mcbride have made a
sworn statement of the facts and DR.. Jesse
L. Lines has added his sworn statement
saying that Dodd's Kidney Pills and moth.
ing else cured the fits.

ALUM, FLINT N
aSULPHURIC ACID.

1t is reported that in many localities
houses are Infested by peddlers trying
to sell or introduce so-called "cheap"
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon a grocer.
In most instances deception is used,
and it is claimed that the article is a
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits Of a pure article.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are well known to be
detrimental to health. In England and
in some sections of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale of food contain
ing alum in the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DR.. S. w. Johnson, for instance,
Professor of Chemistry at Yale Col
lege, says: BREAD made with a bak-
ing powder containing alum must
yield a soluble alumina salt with the
gastric juice, and must, therefore, act
as a poison"
1t is we'll known that these so-called
cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One of
them was recently analysed at Yale
College and found to be one-quarter
sharp pointed grains Of ground flint.
Others are filled with sulphuric acid,
and salts of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get a
reputable ~well-known cream of tartar
brand. and never buy from peddlers.
