Typhoid Fevor. Typhoid is now admitted by all scientists to be caused by a venom microbe that swarms by the million in the tissues r>( the small intestines, producing fever, delirium, extreme prostration, putrifaction and death. The medical profession has earnestly sought a reliable antidote for this mortal plague and found none. Hence it is a bold, au almost startling claim, (a claim never before dared to b* made for any remedy,) that Brazilian Balm, alone, will positively cure Typhoid

TYPHOID SACILLCS. Fever in any stage. This great discovery was the result of a woman’s faith. Mrs. L. B. Brad way, of Wilming ton, Del., believed the Balm would do almost anything. Hence she gave it in 6 drop coses, every three to five minutes, to a vouug lady in the last stage of Typhoid, fehe had been given up by the doctor, who said she could not live half an hour. To the surprise of all she quickjy revived and recovered. Since then it has been used by laymen, nurses and physicians with uniform success. How it cures was then a mystery; but it is now fully settled that it promptly destroys every Typhoid bacillus in the system. It staunches the hemorrhage, heals the whole alimentary track, and, instead of the slow, tedious convalescence, restores to health and strength with surprising rapidity. In short, it fills every condition of aperfect antidote for Typhoid. Treatment: Give 10 drops every 15 minutes while the fever rages, end once an hour when the fever is off, and give nothing else. During convalescence give 3 or $ times a day. To preuai,t Typhoid give every hour.

PUBLIC SCHOOL. Monthly Report* for the Different Druries. J Percent*, and Averages. The enrollment in the schools to date is 775, the enrollment 714, tl^e [average attendance (3(il.2 or 1)6.4 percent, the number not absent noi tardy 376 or 54.7 percent, the eases of tardiness 45 or 3 4 percent. Kx- | eept in the high school there has been a decided gain in the amount ot tardiness, there being but two cases in No. 1, four in No. 2, and live in No. 3. By grades the tardiness is distributed as follows: Grade 1, 0, grade 2, 0, grade 3, 0, grade 4, 1, grade 5, 3. grade 0, 0, grade 7, 1, grade 8, 0. In seyen rooms out of thirteen below the high school there was not a single case of tardiness for the whole mouth as shown in the following statement: Miss Adams 100, Miss Hammond 100, Miss Jones 100, Miss Jordan 100, Miss Ragan 100, Miss Black 100, Miss McCoy 100, Miss Williajns OR'.). Miss Stone 98.8, Miss Miller, 98.8, Miss Ridpath, 98 0. The reports of those not absent nor tardy is also good: Miss Alspaugh 70 8 percent, Miss Ridpath 62.3, Miss Jones 02, Miss Miller 00.9, Min Williams 50.1, Hiss Hammond 56, High school 55.3, Miss Ragan 54.5. The per cents of attendance are as follows: Miss Alspaugh 98.1, Miss Ridpath 97.1, Miss Hammond 96.8, Miss Adams 96.6. Miss Jones 96.1, Miss McCoy 95.9, Miss Resor 95.5, High school 95.5, Miss Black 95.2, Miss Williams 95.1, Miss Pagan 95. These records would not be possible were it not for the fact of excellent health in general among the children and a sincere effort on the part of parents generally to co-op erate with teachers for the best in terests of the schools. While there have been reports of the closing of schools in many places on account of contagious diseases, Greencastle has escaped, and indeed not only j this year but usually we have great j reason to be thankful that the| heath of the children has been so good.

NOTHING NEW.

In the Bryan Murder Case. Excitement Quieting. There are no new dcvelopmenis in the Bryan murder case. The telegraph news from Cincinnati shows that the mutter is getting into a decided tangle there. Cranks are beginning to develop and letters without end are pouring in upon the police. It is hard to believe anything that is heard about this now celebrated case. The prinei pals who have been arrested have told enough to show their connec tion with the case hut they steadily refuse to divulge anything further. In the meantime the preliminary examination will occur and then the ease will be outlined. What the outcome will be is still a matter of conjecture. The Cincinnati newspapers are working the case for all there is in it, but there is being nothing new developed. The preliminary trial may show some thing additional but it is doubtful. The subscription papers started in Greencastle to aid the Bryan fami ly in their great bereavement have been liberally signed and they are being continued. There is sympathy here for all concerned in the horrible affair as it is a blight upon our entire community. The news is bad enough without any more fakes. Notoriety seekers should be suppressed.

Tired, Weak, Nervous Hood’s Sarsaparilla Restores Strength and Bodily Vigor. The cause of that tired, weak, nervous condition, in which so many people find themselves, is the failure of the blood to properly nourish the nerves and tissues.
