DOINGS OF OONGBESS. The Senate made little or bo progress with flio Tariff MU on Feb. 17, slttjough a good deal of talking was done. Mr. Sherman presented a proposition looking to an increase <rf the duties on certain kinds of steel. A very lively debate followed, In toe course of Mr. Beck intimated that the Ohio Senator s snbstitute was inspired by toe steel manufacturers, who three weeks *g° were satisfied with toe tariff that had been substantially agreed on, but now were clamoring that poverty stared them in. the face. Sherman denied toe accusation andeaid that the Senator from Kentucky could not bully him. Mr. Beck retorted that he would see to ft t: at the Ohio Senator should not bully the Senate. There was an exciting discussion in the House of Representatives of the Tariff issue. Mr. Dunnell (Rep.) arose and declared that it had been determined by the Republicans to abandon the bill, and reflected severe]* on his party colleagues for deluding the peoide. Mr. Kasson, in reply, laid the blame of/delaying the Mil on the Democratic strife, which statement was received with derisive exclamations from that side. JII-. Haskell immediately moved that the committee rise; and, the motion being agreed to, moved that all debate on toe pending and succeeding schedules of toe bill be closed in one hour. Mr. Carlisle raised toe point that the moti .n was not in order. The discussion on Carli dc’s i>oint of order was carried on amid a good deal of confusion and excitement The Republicans, led by Mr. Kasson, continued to charge upon the Democratic side of the House the responsibility for delay in the passage of a tariff measure. Mr. Morrison, on behalf of the Democrats, protested against putting through Congress so important a bill without due consideration. “If you will give ns a bill making a. 20 per cent, reduction, exclaimed Mr. Morrison, we will pass it before night." The discussion was interrupted by the Speaker who announced, the hour for special order— the eulogies on the late Representative Shackelford —had arrived. Mr. Blackburn and other Democrats, with an air of defiance, urged Immediate decision of toe point of order, but the Speaker did not yield to their demand, and the prayer of Wellington at Waterloo (for night or Blucher) was touchingly quoted by Mr. Tucker.

The Senate devoted nearly thirteen hours to the Tariff bill on Feb. 19, being in session from io o'clock a. m. till two hours post midnight. The whole time was given up to two or three items in the metal schedule. The effort to give tlie bill such form that it could successfully run the gantlet between the extreme hightariff men on the one side and the low-tariff men on the other resulted in a sort of compromise that was not very satisfactory to either side. Mr. Sherman’s amendment raising the dutv in steel was modified and adopted by a vote of 30 to 28, a strict party vote, except that Mr. McPherson voted with the Republicans and Mr. Van Wvck with toe Democrats. Mr. Cameron of Pennsylvania made a vigorous speech favoring protection. In the House, Mr. Kelley made a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill to reduce internal-revenue taxation being the House Revenue bill of last year, with the Senate amendment reducing the tax upon tobacco to 8 cents per pound. Mr. Springer raised the point of order-that the bill had not been before the Committee on Ways and Means, and that, therefore, it was beyond the* power of that committee to move to suspend the rules and put It on its passage. The Speaker overruled the point of order. In support of his motion, Mr. Kelley said every line in the bill presented iiad received the approval of the Senate and the committee which he represented; therefore, he believed, while doubt and uncertainty might prevail as to tariff legislation, there was an opportunity offered to mitigate our excessive revenue to the extent of $40,000,000. Mr. Morrison said the people were paying into the treasury $80,000,000 of Impost tax under war rates and twice $80,000,000 in bounty to manur facturers. The internal revenue had been reduced one-half, and to-day, twenty years aftcthc war, impost taxes remained as they were. Notwithstanding this, here was a bill brought to relieve the banking capital of the country and tobacco chewers at the expense of the people. It was offered here in order to give a quid of tobacco to some people with every likelihood of their biting at the bait. Mr. McKinley asserted that the surplus revenue in the treasury could be with safety reduced $80,000,000. Every one admitted, whether the tariff were revised or not, this internal revenue must, be reduced. Mr. House called the attention of the country to the spectacle presented to-day. For the last month, day and night, the House had been discussing the Tariff bill; and now came back to the same old propositions of the last session, the old scapegoat which had been expected to bear the sins of the Republican party into the wilderness. That party had gone before the country with that proposition, but the people had thrown Its bank checks In Its face, burnt its matches and broken Its bottle “ready relief” over its head. Let the Republican party go before the country, if it dared, with this bill in answer to the demand made at the last election for relief from taxation. The motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill was defeated —yeas, 162; nays, 92—not the necessary two-thirds in the affirmative. After six weeks of consideration, the Senate passed its Tariff bill at 2 o’clock on the 20th inst. No bill is remembered by old Senators as having consumed an equal amount of time. The bill finally passed by a handsome majority —42 to 13. Mr. Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, was the only Republican who voted against it, but he would have been joined by his colleague, Don Cameron, had not the latter been paired. Thirtv-threc Republicans, eight Democrats and David Davis voted for it. One Republican and eighteen Democrats voted against it. The last day of the debate was far from interesting. The day was consumed by various last efforts of Senators to amend the bill into the form t hey wanted it to assume. Mr. Sherman failed by a large majority to get the duties on wool raised, though there were on his side three Democrats —Brown, Camden and Pendleton, and Senator David Davis. Except ■Sewell of New Jersey, and Mitchell of Pennsylvania, all the Republican votes came from the Northwestern ana Pacific coast States. In other words, Senators from the sheep-raising States voted with Mr. Sherman, and Senators from the woolen-mill States voted against him. Galvanized iron was leveled up to W t cents a pound. April 1 was fixed as the date when the sugar duties were to go intp cffcct.and an amendment offered by Mr. Windom adopted, wh-reby i< is provided that the bill shall not interfere with any existing treaties, but when the tr-aties expire the bill shall become operative. A reduction of duty on common bottles was made. The House devoted the day to consideration of the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill in committee on the whole. The River and Harbor bill was handed in from the Commerce Committee.

The Army and the Fortification Appropriation bills, and the joint resolution Great Britain of the desire of the United States to abrogate the fishery clauses of the Washington treaty, were passed by the Senate Feb. 21. Mr. Edmunds called up his Supplementary AntiPolygamy bill, and some progress was made with it. The House discussed the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill in committee of the whole, when Mr. Bcltzhoover proceeded to make a very bitter attack upon Gen. Hazen and the Signal Service Bureau. Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, in reply, defended Gen. Hazen’s integrity and criticised Mr. Beltzhoover’s action in making an assault upon that officer in a speech which was not openly delivered, out was printed in the Uecc rd. The resolution offered by Mr. Garland for the appointment of a special committee to examine and report upon the methods of improving the navigation of the Mississippi river below Cairo was adopted by the Senate, Feb. 22. The Naval Appropriation bill occupied the attention of the Senate during the remainder of the day. The bill was practically completed. It was dcided that the limit of repairs to be made to old wooden vessels should be 20 per cent, of the cost of new vessels of the same size and material. Republican members of the Senate held a caucus at which it was informally agreed to take up the Shipping, Pension and Bankruptcy bills, and those providing for the division of Dakota Territory and to give precedence to the appropriation bills. In the House the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill was considered in committee of the whole, and an amendment offered by Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, cutting down the appropriation for the Geological Survey, was rejected after a spirited debate. Mr. Pound, of Wisconsin, offered an the pre-emption laws altogether, with all laws authorizing the filing of declaratory, statements for entry of public lands by agent or otherwise. The amendment was adopted, after Mr. Washburn had been given an opportunity to denounce the land-sharks and adventurers who had abused the laws so as to shut out actual settlers from the privilege of entering Government lands. A caucus of House Republicans was held in the evening, at which eighty Representatives voted to non-concur in the Senate tariff measures.

This does not include any calculation as to the loss from the suspension of business and trade, as the manufacturers cannot get to work for a month after the water subsides Over six thousand residences are either swept away or desolate, and thirtyfive thousand people are dependent upon charity for food and clothing. The damage at Louisville, Ky., he estimates at >1,000,000, and at Cincinnati at twice that amount.

The water at Memphis was eight inches below the danger line, but the interior was being flooded by old breaks in the levee at Trotter’s Landing. The Cincinnati Flood Relief Committee, having resolved to use funds sent from abroad only for the relief of neighboring cities, issued a circular stating that they had all the money they could judiciously use for such purpose. Liberal contributions were made in the larger cities, both East and West, for the benefit of the flood sufferers.

WASHINGTON.

President Arthur sent to the Senate the names of the Civil Service Commissioners, as follows: Dorman A Eaton, of New York; John M. Gregory, of Illinois; and Leroy D. Thoman, of Ohio In the star-route trial at Washington, Feb. 21, the defense attempted to offset the confession of BerdeH by quoting from affidavits made by him last July, in which he furnished Dorsey and Brady with a clean bill of health. The witness declared that he made the affidavits under duress, Dorsey having threatened to prosecute him for perjury and to expose his relations with certain women if he declined to sign what Dorsey had prepared.

FOREIGN.

Carey, the informer and participant jn the Phoenix Park murders, sent Miss Burke the first letter of condolence she received after the assassination of her brother. The announcement comes from St. Petersburg that no amnesty to political prisoners will be extended on the occasion of the Czar’s coronation and no constitution proclaimed. Alexander and his advisers are determined to defy the Nihilists and the dynamite brigade, and will make no concessions whatever. In the British House of Commons Ex-Secretary Forster made a bitter attack on the Land League, which for a time created great excitement He charged Parnell with heading the organization which started an agitation that promoted outrages and incited murder. Parnell had reaped advantages from the agitation. He did not plan the outrages, but connived at their commission. O’Kelly shouted, “It’s a lie!” several times. He was named for suspension, and the suspension ordered —305 to 20. Forster, resuming, reiterated his charges, quoting from speeches in which Parnell said murder was unnecessary. The wretches who committed the Phoenix Park assassinations had not acted on the letter but according to the spirit of these speeches. Until Parnell expressed regret and repentance he could not communicate with him. There were loud cries for Parnell, after Forster had concluded, but he remained silent Gen. McAdaris, who is now in Paris, enters a denial of the charge of connection with the murder of Cavendish and Burka

The very Worst of American snakes.

Ordinarily the jingle of a handful rings is not an unpleasant sound, but when it happens that these rings are fastened to six or seven feet of serpent as thick aa a man’s wrist, and that serpent is armed with the whitest and sharpest of fangs, nearly an inch in length, with cisterns of liquid poison at their base, the music doesn’t seem cheerful or inspiring. The snake family are known to have but little regard for the doctrine of moral suasion, are apt to be rash in their conclusions and hasty in their actions, ae well as profoundly indifferent to argument or apology, reason and politeness being entirely wasted on them. Only distance or brute force suffices to restrain their insane propensity to probe every living thing within reach of those delicate needles of worry. As the “big Indian” among his lesser braves, so » the diamond rattlesnake of the Southern States among other American serpents, Dressed in a brownish-colored coat plaided with lighted lines in diamondshaped blocks, and with dignity and independence stamped on every curve and motion, the sleek, oily-looking rascal glides slowly through “hamok” and “scrub,” a terror to man and beast, turning aside for none, nor going out of his way to attack any unless pressed by hunger, which seldom happens in this climate where animal life abounds. As he moves quietly along, his wicked little eyes seem to emit a greenish light and shine with as much brilliancy as the jewels of a finished coquette. Nothing seems to escape his observation, and on the slightest movement near him he swings into his fighting attitude, raising his upper jaw and erecting his fangs, which, in a state of repose, lie closely packed in the soft muscles of his mouth. This snake is not as active as his copperhead cousin of the North, nor so quick to strike, but one blow is almost always fatal. His fangs are so long that they penetrate deep into the muscles and veins of his victim, who has little time for more than a single good-by before closing his eyes forever. The writer has measured these fangs; in one instance fofind them seven-eighths of an inch in length, and, though not thicker than a common sewing needle, yet perforated with a hole through which a greenish-yellow liquid could be forced in considerable quantities, and in the case above mentioned each of the sacs contained about half a teaspoonful. The fangs are only pierced about twothirds their entire length, and are always double, a smaller pair lying immediately under the others and ready for use in case of accident to the principal ones. — Toledo Blade.

A Garfield Reminiscence.

Gen. Garfield was very anxious to see the world during his college life, and the first time he went to New York he haunted all parts of the city in the strangest manner. Everything was new to him, and he would walk along the wharves, putting his hands on the great ocean steamers and going upon them, thinking, no doubt, of the stories he would tell at home of his visit to the great city. One day he entered an auctioneer’s shop, where a brawny man with his sleeves bare was pounding and hammering away in tones of thunder to half a dozen straw men. It was jewelry that he was selling, and when Garfield entered he at once singled him out as a victim. He directed his talk to him and offered the goods at ridiculously low prices, aiming to get a bid. Garfield looked at him with his great eyes, and apparently was regarding him as a new study of the genus homo. The auctioneer pounded away, but, finding he was making no impression, and that all his sarcasm, bantering and coaxing availed nothing against the honest stare, he grew very angry and jumped down from the box, saying he would thrash the fool who would not take good goods as a gift. Garfield was standing in a corner. His hands were hanging by his side, and he fixed his eyes sternly on the auctioneer as he approached, swearing and throwing his fists in true boxing style. The man came a little closer, but Garfield did not move. He still looked at him with those eyes of honest, stern determination. The man could not understand it. He quailed finally and slunk back without striking a blow. Had he not done so Garfield would have crushed him, for he was young then, and his frame was iron. He said afterward: “I was ready for the man, and, had he come within reach of my arm, I intended to give him one blow straight from the shoulder. I thought I was strenger than he, and I had no intention of being whipped without a vigorous physical protest.”— Cleveland Leader.

Meerschaum Statistics.

The place most productive of this mineral is known to be near the town of Eski-scheir, in Anatolia, Asia Minor. A recent account by Herr Adler states that the preparation of 100 boxep of meerschaum there takes twelve to fifteen persons two months, and costs about £l2O. In Eski-scheir the average price of the box of mercantile ware has varied since 1873 between about £6 to £lO (last year it was about the former), Refuse ware can be had at about an eighth of the price. There are ten qualities, aed each is to be had in four sizes, there being twenty-five to forty pieces of the first size per box, and 450 to 1,500 pieces of the fourth (the box is thirty-six inches long, eight inches broad and fifteen and one-half inches deep). In the last two decades the export of meerschaum has considerably increased; from 3,000 boxes in 1855 it has risen to 11,100 in 1881. In Constantinople the trade is managed by about fifteen firms—Austrian, Bulgarian, Greek, Armenian, Turkish—who bring their wares into the Vienna market. The large importation into Vienna may be said to date from between 1850 and 1860, when the production of pipe-bowls and cigar-tips was greatly increased for export to England, France and North America. In 1860 a considerable export of pipes to San Francisco was first developed, while large quantities of cigar-tips were sent to America and Australia via Hamburg. Since then the conditions of the trade have altered much, chiefly in consequence of the high duties imposed in America. In that country arose, with the aid of emigrant turners from Australia, a home industry, which has successfully competed with the Vienna pipe manufacturer (for the product of which America was previously the best customer). With France and Germany, the United States obtains the raw product mainly from Austria.— London Times. _ '

Sanded Up in Egypt.

An inconvenience to travelers on Egyptian railways is being “sanded up,”. The sirocco piles the fine sand on the tracks in mounds, and no amount of energy or engineering will relieve the train until the wind dies away. “Sanded up” is about the same as being snowed up in America, with the exception that the temperature is much more satisfactory and the delay much longer. The Council of Public Health, Paris, after studying into the question of digestive powers of children, report that cod liver oil and other such fatty preparations are of disadvantage to, young children; that they impair the digestive functions and, being of no nse, are in the way. 2 The sausage is the only species of ground-hog that does not hibernate in the winter.

A Good Word for the Next Letter.

The Trey Times says of the late Congressman Selye, of Rochester, that one of his idiosyncrasies was a fondness for rhetorical flourish and for -words which he thought would imply learning, though on ordinary occasions his language was plain and blunt to the verge of brutality. One evening he was sitting in the editorial-room of the Rochester Chronicle, which journal he then owned, and accidentally overheard a conversation between two members of the staff as to the proper construction of a sentence. They agreed between themselves that a certain expression might be considered tautological. Instantly Mr. Selye’s attention was aroused. “What’s that?” he demanded. “Taut—taut—what in blank did you say ? Let’s hear that word again. ” The word was repeated and he inquired its meaning. He was told, and then with an air of incredulity insisted upon hav ing it looked for in the dictionary. This was done, and adjusting his eye-glasses the old gentleman studied it intently for some moments. “ Humph—ha—hum,” he slowly ejaculated, “blanked good word; blanked if it ain’t. Then, taking a lead pencil, he painfully copied this new linguistic acquisition upon a piece of paper, whiuh he thrust into his vest pocket, exclaiming with increased emphasis, “That’s a blank blanked good word, and I’ll be blanked to blank if I don’t use it in the very next letter I write!”

WONDERFUL REVELATIONS OF THE MICROSCOPE.

Discovery es tao Moat Deadly Enemy «i Mankind—Tike Bacillus and Ita Rava*es. The scientific world has been greatly startled and agitated of late by the discovery with the microscope of the most dreadful enemy of mankind in the form of myriads of little death-dealing parasites The air we breathe and live in fa charged with these deadly little growths in proportion as it is infected from various noxious sources. Haring by recent experiments and research been shown to be the most fruitful cause of disease known, and the welfare and health of every individual depending so largely on the freedom from their destructive ravages, it is but natural that the reports of recent investigators in this field of scientific inquiry should be widelv read, and that every phase of these astounding discoveries should be subject to universal discussion. At first received with some suspicion they have at length been thoroughly proven, and are now receiving the unqualified indorsements of the leading scientific men throughout the world. But little else is talked of in the schools and clubs of science, and the medical anti scientific journals are crowded with the testimony that is being added corroborative of the value of the marvelous discovery which is pronounced the greatest advance in medical science of modern times. To L Pasteub, the eminent French scientist, who by his learned investigations has saved to France so many millions of dollars, is probably due the honor of first pointing out the power of these terrible germs. In recognition of his great service, the Government has recently voted him from the public treasury #IO,OOO, with which to continue his experiments. He has described several varieties of these parasites, some comparatively harmless, others extremely dangerous. One form he proved by a series of vaccinations and other conclusive experiments was the cause of death of many thousands of animals and herds of cattle* another the active agent in the death of fowls by cholera Acting upon the knowledge he had gained of the nature of these germs he pointed out a means of relief that speedily prevented a spread of the disease and ended their devastation. Tyndall, with the aid of other eminent English investigators, made a number of examinations of the floating particles in the atmosphere, and found numbers of living spores capable of producing disease. In dry and healthy localities, but few germs were found, and these of the harmless varieties, while in low, damp places, crowded houses, and unhealthy cities, the posionous germs were extremely numerous everywhere. Dr Rudolph Koch, of Wallstefn, Germany, a man whose work in connection with the organisms of contagious diseases has made him a recognized authority upon the subject, by exjperimenting after the methods of Villemin, has discovered and published an account of one of the most-dangerous varieties, to which it is proven more deaths are due than to any disease incident to the human race. He describes it as a simple cellular organism belonging to the same order as the bacteria. When dried, the germs may, without losing any vitality, endure great extremes of temperature. Being as fine and as light as dust, invisible to the naked eye, they may be blown any distance by the wind or carried upon the clothing or body. Like seeds, they may lie for months or years undisfcturbed upon the furniture, floor, carpets, curtains, walls, or in the bedding, and only requiring a proper degree of warmth, moisture and food to waken into life, develop and grow. They thrive and live in the blood, lymph, mucus and secretions of the human body. When the system is unhealthy or weak they attack the cells that make up the animal frame. Any albuminous fluid will furnish them with food for growth, and a single drop is sufficient to contain hundreds. Examined with microscopes of great power, which enlarge them so that they can be seen and studied, they have the appearance of minute rod-Uke bodies, having, when active, some power of motion. They bend in the middle like a bow and straighten with a jerk that sends them a few times their own length. At the temperature of the human body they are the most active. Their power of increase or reproduction is remarkably great One germ, in a few weeks’ time, under favorable conditions, will give rise to millions. The process is by simple growth and division. Cold des.roys or prevents their growth, and this is why refrigeration prevents decay of meats and other animal foods. Exposed to warmth these small organisms attack and eat up the albuminous tissues leaving a foul mass. The odors so common to this process are given off by these minute organisms, and Is about the only indication of their presence. This is the warning of nature and it is an instinct to avoid all such smells. The foul breath, bad odors of old sores, etc., leads men to avoid these germs in a great measure. The danger of their presence in the body can be imagined when their rapid increase is considered. A few germs may be readily absorbed into the system by breathing air containing them. They are thus drawn into the interior of the body through the long and narrow respiratory passages of the throat, chest and nose, which are lined with soft membrane and covered with sticky mucu". In this fluid they find ready lodgment and favorable conditions for development, increase and growth. The “cold” or catarrh, ozaena or chronic catarrh, hay fever, etc., are common manifestations of the effects of one of the least harmful of these germs or microzymes. In the discharges from the respiratory passages at such times thousands of the living animalculae are found. The fever, debility, pains “in the bones,” loss of appetite, etc., are indications of their depressing effects upon the vital organs It is from germs of slower development, however, that the greatest danger follows To the one most fully described by Koch is due more deaths than to any other known cause. According to the researches of Cutter, Flint and Dejebine over eight million people die every year from this cause alone. The annual deaths in France, England, Germany and Russia from their destruction was over one and a half millions.- In the United States and Canada over three hundred thousand persons perished in the last year from the bacilbui alone. The most-common disease resulting from it is consumption of the lungs, but other organs of the body are liable to be affected as they develop slowly but surely in any organ that may be in a weak or unhealthy state. If active and healthy, the liver, kidneys and bowels have to a wonderful extent the power of expelling these deadly animalculse or parasites from the system And this fact furnishes an important indication for the successful treatment of all the long list of maladies caused by these para-ites as will be hereinafter shown.

Tne studies of LanciscA, an eminent Italian, and Wood, ForAad and others are interesting, as showing the large variety of chronic diseases as heretofore classified, that result from these germa Among the most common were “liver complaint.” biliousness or torpid liver, dyspepsia or indigestion lung affections, bronchitis, kidney diseases, chronic diarrhea, spinal complaint, fever-sores, white swellings, hip-joint disease, rheumatism, malarial diseases, such as fever and ague or Intermittent fever, general and nervous debilities, female weaknesses, chronic catarrh of the head or ozsena, many forms of unhealthy discharges from internal organs, and all the various scrofulous affections of the skin, glands, bones, joints, etc., including consumption, which is but scrofulous disease of the lungs. In this large catalogue of apparently widely differing diseases, but really all depending upon a common cause, and therefore naturally to be successfully treated on the fame general principles, examination of the blood and secretions revealed large numbers of these parasites, and curiously enough the number bore a direct relation to the severity of the disease, a comparatively small number being present in mild cases and a very large proportion in bad cases Under the use of the specific treatment which they give, and which is substantially the same as that described and recommended later in this review, the number was seen to steadily diminish from day to day until, with the restoration of health ana bodily strength, they could not be found at all The greatest variety of symptoms were found to accompany tJieir presence, due to peculiarities of the constitution, the part of the body most seriously affected, and the efforts of the different organs to rid the system of these germa Among the most common were frequent headaches, neuralgic pains, nausea, constipation, poor or variable appetites, diarrhoea, bad breath, hectic fever, cough, night sweats, cold extremities, dyspepsia, catarrh, sore throat, sore eyes, etc., while where the skin was affected, saltrheum, boils, carbuncles, scurf skin erysipelas, St Anthony’s fire, and other symptoms were common, and all gradually but with certainty were cured by the same means. The hectic fever so often met with In consumption, with the hacking' or tearing cough, night-sweats, diarrhoea, and other symptoms due to the efforts of nature to throw off and expel these germs were also readily controlled and cured in the same way as were the old sores, abscesses and ulcers in the lungs, liver ana other important organs The corrosive acids and mineral poisons are found to possess the power of killing these germs, but the dangerous nature of such powerful agents prevents their internal use. For the purpose of expelling the germs when once within the system it is necessary to resort to vegetable remedies in order to cleanse the blood of the germs without injury to the patient. An American physician of large experience in the treatment of all forms of chronic diseases, now conclusively shown to be caused by parasitic life, for many years devotdd much time to the investigation of the causes of these affections, and in the treatment of many thousand cases developed and thoroughly tested a combination of vegetable agents which he used with marvelous success in their cure. In cases of wasting diseases, such as consumption, or scrofula of the lungs, and other organs, and in all cases attended with great

weakness, it was found to exert the most wonderful tonic and restorative Influences, beside its nutritive properties far surpass and quinine bear no comparison to it in building up the strength of the debilitated. The recipe as advised by him his been used for years with the greatest success in a vast and most successful practice. The written experience of the many sufferers who have been cured, and who express in terms of the highest praise their indorsement of Its great value, are sufficient to fill volumes. Living witnesses are everywhere, monuments to modern genius and scientific progress tn the healing art Sufferers from “liver oomplaint,” giving rise to “bad biod,” consumption, scrofula, and other affections and symptoms, the results of blood poisoning from the ravages of the deadly parasites or disease germs so briefly referred to, find in this remedy prompt relief and a permanent cure. The great and increasing demand for this G odgiven and peerless remedy for so many apparently different but really kindred, wments, led to ita preparation in pure and convenient form under the name of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.. It can be obtained the world over at drug and general stores, and full directions for its use will be found in the pamphlet that surrounds each bottle. It exerts the most wonderful stimulating and invigorating influence on the liver, that greatest gland of the human system, which has been notinaptlytermed’the “housekeeper of our health.” Through the increased action of the liver and other emunctory organs of the system, all poisonous germs are rendered inactive ana gradually expel ed from the system with other impurities. In-some cases, where there are unhealthy discharges, as from the nostrils in cases of either acute or chronic catarrh, the use of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, a mild and healing antiseptic lotion, should be associated with the use of the Discovery. It is also advisable to use this lotion in other local manifestations of disease of mucous surfaces By this means the germs of disease are destroyed and the membranes cleansed before any of the poisonous bacilli are absorbed into the blood. In sore throat, quinsy or diphtheria, the Catarrh Remedy liquid should be used as a gargle, and the Golden Medical Discovery taken freely. In women where weakness of special organs is common and almost certain to-be developed, attended by backache, bearingdown sensations and other local symptoms, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, in conjunction with that of the Discovery, speedily restates the healthy functions ana assists in building up and invigorating the system. In any case where the bowels have been costive and are not regulated and acted upon sufficiently by the mild laxative properties possessed by the Golden Medical Discovery, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets flittie liver pills), taken in small doses of only one or two each day, will aid materially in establishing healthy action, and in expelling the disease-producing germs from the blood and system. At the risk of repetition and by way of recapitulation, we may truthfully say that Golden Medical Discovery cures all humors, from the worst scrofula to a common blotch, pimple or eruption. Erysipelas, salt rheum, fever-sores, scaly or rough skin, in short, all diseases caused by disease germs in the blood, are conquered by this powerful, purifying and invigorating medicine. Great eating ulcers rapidly heal under ita benign influence. Especially has it manifested its potency in curing tetter, rose rash, boils, carbuncles, sore eyes, scrofulous sores ana swellings, white swellings, goitre or thick /neck and enlarged glanda “The blood is the life.” Thoroughly cleanse this fountain of health by using Golden Medical Discovery’, and good digestion a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength iffid soundness'of constitution are established.

Consumption, which is scrofulous disease of the lungs induced by the deadly disease germ bacilun, is jpromptiy and positivelyarrested and cureaby this sovereign remedy, if taken before the last stages of the disease are reached. From its wonderful -power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this now world famed remedy Jo the public, Dr. Pierce thought favorably of calling it his “consumption cure,” but abandoned that name as too restrictive for a medicine that from ita wonderful combination of germ-destroying, as well as tonic, or strengthening, alterative, or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, diuretic, pectoral and nutritive properties, is unequaled, not only as a remedy for consumption of the lungs, but for all chronic diseases of the liver, blood, kidneys and lungs. If you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have sallow color of skin, or yellowish brown spots on face or body, frequent headache or dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat or chills, alternated with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy forebodings, irregular appetite, and tongue coated, you are suffering from indigestion, dyspepsia and torpid liver or “biliousness. ” In many cases only part of these symptoms are experienced. As a remedy for all such cases Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has no equal as it effects perfect and radical cures. For weak lungs, spitting of blood, short breath, consumptive night-sweats, and kindred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. In the cure of bronchitis, severe coughs and consumption, it has astonished the medical faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce it the greatest medical discovery of the age. The nutritive properties possessed by coa liver oil are trifling when compared with those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It rapidly buildsup the system and increases the flesh and weight of those reduced below the usual standard of health by wasting diseases. The plan of treatment that we have so br.efly outlined in this article for the large class of chronic diseases referred to has long been acknowledged to be the most successful, based as it is upon the belief shared by the most skillful medical men of the day, that the only way to get rid of the noxious disease-producing germs in the blood and system is through the liver, kidneys and bowels, and therefore that those * agents which are known to act most efficiently in restoring healthy action of these organs are the ones most to be relied upon. For this purpose the Golden Medical Discovery is pre-eminently the agent that fulfills every indication of treatment required.

THOUGH SALT RHEUM

Does not directly Imperil life, it is a distressful, vexatious and resolute complaint. Patient endurance of ita numerous very small watery pimples, hot and smarting, requires true fortitude. If the discharged matter sticks, itches, and the scabs leave underneath a reddened surface, the disease has not departed, and Hood’s Sarsaparilla, in moderate doses, should be continued. FAMOUS CASE IN BOSTON. ■My little four-year-old girl had a powerful eruption on her face and head. Under her eyes it was regular scalding red and sore, like a burn. Back of her left ear we had to shave her hair close to her head. Five or six physicians and two hospitals gave np her case aa incurable, save that she might outgrow it. When it began to maturate I became alarmed. In three weeks, with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the sores began to heal; two bottles made her eyes aa clear aa ever. To-day she ia aa well as I am.” JOHN CAREY, 164 D Street, South Boston. ATTEST: I know John Carey. He is an honest, good man, whose statements are worthy of entire credit.
