A LESSON WITH A MORAL.

'when Will Our Eyes Be Opened to This Great National Calamity? The year 1886 played sad havoc with many prominent men of our country. Many of them died without warning, passing away apparently in the full flush of life. Others were sick but a comparatively short time. We turn to our files ana are astonished to find that most of them died of apoplexy, of paralysis, of nervous prostration, of malignant blood-humor, of Bright’s disease, of heart disease, of kidney disease, of rheumatism, or of pneumonia It is singular that most of our prominent men die of these disorders. Any journalist who watches the telegraph reports, will be astonished at the number of prominent victims of these disorders. Many statements have appeared iu our paper with others to the effect tnat the diseases that carried off so many prominent men in 1886, are really one disease, taking different names according to the location of the fatal effects. When a valuable horse perishes, it becomes the nine days’ talk of the sporting world, and yet thousands of ordinary horses are dying every day, their aggregate loss is enormous, and yet their death creates no comment So it is with individuals. The cause of death of prominent men creates comment, especially when it can be shown that one unsuspected disease carries off most of them, and yet “vast numbers of ordinary men and women die before their time every year from the same cause. ” It is said if the blood is kept free from uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis, nervous prostration, pneumonia, rheumatism, and many cases of consumption, would never ba known. This uric acid, we are told, is the waste of the systam, and it is the duty of the kidneys to remove this waste. We ara told that if the kidneys are maintained in perfect health, the uric, kidtay, acid is kept out of the blood, and these sudden and universal diseases caused by uric acid will, in a large measure, disappear.’ But how shall this be done? It is folly to treat effects. If there is any known way of getting at the cause, that way should be known to the public. We bel eve that Warner’s safe cure, of which so much has been written, and so much talked of by the public generally, is now recognized by impartial physicians and the public as the one specific for such diseases. Becans j public attention has been directed to this great remedy by means of advertising, some persons have not believed in the remedy. We can not see how Mr. Warner could immediately benefit the public in any other way, and his valuable specific should not be Condemned because some nostrums have come before the public in the same way, any more than that all doctors should be condemned bacause so many of them are incompetent It is astonishing what good opinions you hear on every side of that great remedy, and public opinion thus based upon an actual experience has all the weight and importance of absolute truth. At this time of the year the uric acid in the blood invites pneumonia and rheumat.-sm, and there is not a man who does not dread these monsters of disease; but he need have no fear of them, we are told, if he rid the blood of the uric acid cause. These words are strong, and may sound like an advertisement and be rejected as such by unthinking people, but we believe they are the truth, and as such should be spoken by every truth-loving newspaner.

THE JOURNALIST.

George Parsons Lathrop, in the Chautauquan: The chief requisite for beginners in journalism may be summed up thus: 1. A good English education. Learn first to write English; I mean plain, straight, quick Saxon, sturdy and lithe as a sapling. Let your Latin and Greek adornments come in afterward. Study the history of the world, of the United States and Great Britain and Ireland; and study everything else that you conveniently can. Drill yourself in writing swift, sharp, vivid, yet graceful accounts of everything that comes under your notice, putting it picturesquely, but never at the cost of clearness and brevity. 2. Common sense. 3. Good judgment of the relative importance of subjects. 4. Obedience, patience, punctuality. 5. In spite of attaining to all these virtues, don’t be a prig. However much knowledge your brain may hold, never do or say anything which will lead the wise to charge you with being touched by the malady known as “big headconceit, the wise call it.

Physicians Have Found Out

That a contaminating and foreign element in the blood, developed by indigestion, is the cause of rheumatism. This settles upon the sensitive sub-cutaneous covering of the muscles and ligaments of the joints, causing constant and shifting pain, and aggregating as a calcareous, chalky deposit which produces stiffness and distortion of the joints. No fact which experience has demonstrated in regard to Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters has stronger evidence to support it than this, namely, that this medicine of comprehensive uses checks the formidable and atrocious disease, nor is it less positively established that it is preferable to the poisons often used to arrest it, since the medicine contains only salutary ingredients. It is also a signal remedy for malarial fevers, constipation, dyspepsia, kidney, and bladder ailments, debility, and other disorders. See that you get the genuine.

KNEW HE HAD BEEN BOBBED.

The postoffice door opened with a » bang, and a brawny, gigantic man rushed in>to the room. “Look here,” he shouted, “I’ve been robbed of SSO by this office.” “Why, my dear sir, I think not,” said Mr. Speer, gently and calmly. “But I have. I sent a money order a week ago, and the party hasn’t received it. Here’s the receipt.” He threw down a paper on the table. Mr. Speer looked at % it, and looked into the face of the irate man, sadly and sweetly. “That’s the money order itself,” replied the Postmaster.— Denver Tribune. _____________ Dr. Gross, physician at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Baltimore, Md., considers Red Star Cough Cure perfectly harmless, being purely vegetable and entirely free from opiates, poisons, and other narcotics. Other professionals also indorse it as prompt, safe, and sure. Price, twenty-five cents a bottle.

Important.

When you visit or leave New York City, save baggage, expressage, and $3 carriage hire, and stop at the Grand Union Hotel, opposite Grand Central Depot 613 rooms, fitted up at a cost of one million iollars, $1 and upwards per day. European plan. Elevator. Restaurant supplied with the beet Horse cars, stages, ana elevated railroad to all depots. Families can live better for less money at the Grand Union Hotel than at any other first-class hotel in the city.

THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE.

A story is told of a groceryman of the shrewd old Yankee stock who, on several occasions, was surprised to find sums of money in his sugar. Where it came from was a mystery. It may have been hidden by slaves for a purpose, but for what it would be hard to say. The storekeeper, being too conscientious to keep the money without trying to find an owner, and likewise being very loath to give it up, hit on this plan to satisfy conscience and keep the money: Going to the merchants of whom he purchased the goods he inquired whether they were responsible for the sticks and stones and things in it. “No, sir,” was the reply, “you must take the sugar just as we receive it; we are not responsible for anything in the barrels.” It is needless to say that the storekeeper did not press the matter.— Boston Record.

The magical effects of St. Jacobs Oil in removing soreness and stiffness make it invaluable at all times. Rheumatism and Neuralgia promptly yield to it.

STONW ALL’S HALLUCINATION.

Stonewall Jackson had a number of strange idiosyncrasies. Among these was an idea he persisted in entertaining, notwithstanding his physician’s declaration to the contrary, that one side of his body was heavier than the other. This was his right side, and he used to carry weights in his pockets on the opposite side to preserve his equilibrium. He consulted many doctors in regard to this fanciful malady, but was never rid of the delusion to his dying day.— lndianapolis Journal. * * * * Delicate diseases of either sex, however induced, speedily and permanently cured. Book 10 cents in stamps. World’s Dispensary Medical Association, 663 kfain street, Buffalo, N. Y. A glance at the plumber's bill is sufficient to satisfy one that they who do not dance are sometimes compelled to pay the piper.

The Demand for Samples

has been very large in consequence of the advertisement of the Chicago Ledger offering free sample copies, but the supply has been equal to it. Results have been so gratifying to the managers that the offer is continued, and a free sample copy of the great family story paper of the West will be sent to any one sending name and address to the Ledger, 271 Franklin street, Chicago. The circulation of that popular periodical has been having a veritable boom the past winter. Send for a sample copy, and, if you like it subscribe. It is only $1.50 per year, half the price of the Eastern papeis of its class.

Are You Making Money?

There is no reason why you should not make large sums of money if you are able to work. All you need is the right kind of employment or business. Write to Hallett & Co., Portland, Maine, and they will send you, free, full information about work that you can do and live at home, wherever you are located, earning thereby from $5 to s*2s per day, and upwards. Capital not required; you are started free. Either sex; all ages. Better not delay.

He Thanks His Paper.

Mr. Editor: I was induced by reading your good paper to try Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic for debility, liver disorder, and scrofula, and three bottles have cured me. Accept my thanks. Jos. C. Boggs.—A’x. “Hough on Dirt’’ whitens clothing yellowed by careless washing or use of cheap washing compounds. Washes everything from finest laces to heaviest blankets.

A NURSE'S FOOLISH NOTION.

A foolish notion prevalent among the lower classes in several countries is that a babe at the breast can be insured againss colic by being made to taste everything which the mother eats. The writer was once surprised to find her nurse about to give her baby cold slaw on this principle; the girl defending herself on the plea that her mother always did it, and that it was good for the child.— Cor. Boston Globe. The lips that spend their wisdom unawares Help many a wit to climb the golden stairs.

A Prize in the Lottery

Of life, which is usually unappreciated until it is lost, perhaps never to return, is health. What a priceless boon it is, and how we ought to cherish it, that life may not be a worthless blank to us. Many of the diseases that flesh is heir to, and which make life burdensome, such as consumption (scrofula of the lungs), and other scrofulous and blood diseases, are completely cured by Dr. R. V. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” after all other remedies have failed. Dr. Pierce’s treatise on consumption mailed for 10 cents in stamps. Address, World’s Dispensary Medical Association. 663 Main street, Buffalo, N. Y. It is proper that the man who breaks the law should be compelled to keep the piece.

“All Men Are Liars,”

Said David of old. He was probably prompted to make the above remark after trying some unreliable catarrh remedy. Had he’ bwn permitted to live until the present day and tried Dr. Sage’s Remedy, he might have had a better opinion of mankind. We claim that no case of catarrh can withstand the magic effects of this wonderful medicine. One trial otit will convince you of its efficacy. By druggists; fifty cents. ~ Distance lends enchantment. Who would like to borrow? A Sobe Thboat or Cough, if suffered to progress, often results in an incurable throat or lung trouble. “Brown's Bronchial Troches" give instant relief. No sensible man will admire a woman’s waste.

Purify the Blood. We do not claim that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the only medicine deserving public confidence, but we believe that to purify the blood, to restore and renovate the whole system, it is absolutely unequalled. The influence of the blood upon the health cannot be over-estimated. If it becomes contaminated, the train of consequences by which the health is undermined is immeasurable. Loss of Appetite, Low Spirits, Headache, Dyspepsia, Debility, Nervousness and other “little (?) ailments” are the premonitions of more serious and often fatal results.
