NO. XXVIII.

.About the mwMle of July, 1863, John Morgan, the guerrilla, invaded our Btate. There iru great excitement in Terre Hante. Saturday the ll'th, wai a day of excitement here. The results of that day made every loyal man feel proud, leu than twenty-four hours over thonaand men were'aBsemWed,fully equip •d and armed, leady to march in any di_ rection their service* might be required, There was no scare, no panic, nothing but a stern determination to severely chastise the ruthless rebels who were seeking to pillage the southern border# of our state Friday afternoon, in obedience to a dispatch from Governor Morton, Col Thompson aent out to the various1 companies of the legion in the country to assemble at this point immediately ready to march to Indianapolis on the following day. That evening the Liberty Guards, Captain Dickeison, of Prairieton, and the Honey Creek Guards, Captain Lee, came in and were quartered at the court house. During the night the Sanford JBlues, Captain Boord, and the company from Pierson township, Captain Lake, arrived. The next morning brought the Riley Guards, Captain

one-

and the Fayette Guards Captain

Shuey, making six companies froui the country outside of the city. Early Saturday

morning

county battallion,

the Parke

UDder

Captain Budd,

assisted by Lieutenant Colonel Foote snd Major General Steele, came in. The battallion numbered over 600 men, of the finest physical condition. It was a proud day for Parke.

At 9 o'clock, oh the ringing of the Court muse bell, the majority of the merchants closed their doors, and joined the crowd at the Court house sauare. Here, in a few hours, a company for the legion wa» formed, composed of about seventy-five men. They adopted as their name the "Meade Guards,'' and elected the following officers: Charles M, Smith, captain William Durham, first lieutenant Gus Arnold, seeond lieutenmt Roeb llobb, orderly sergeant.

The "Silver Grays," composed mostly of citizens over forty-fi ve, was recruited to about fifty members, and proceeded to the election of officers. Tr. Da L*Mater WAS chosen captain. At this jaactiire a Gre broke out, and almost ev«rvb-dy went to see it. The election of ufficers for «b's company was never taken up again The fire also disorganiz-d a crowd of patriotic citizens who were attempting to organize a mourned company. About 3 clock Col. Thompson received a dispatch from the governor, stating 'hat more men had already oSered their services than he knew what to do with, and ordering the dismissal of the troops here, but to hold themselves in readiness for any future call. The companies were then formed in a solid mass from Second to Fourth street on Main. They were then marched to what was then open grounds, east of the Female college, where they were dismiss-d. The Parke county batallio* returned home in the evening.

THE EIPTKS of the 13th contains the following concerning Col. Thompson: From the first sound of alarm t» the dismissal of tha tsops an Saturday evening, sleep had scarcely visited his eyes. On Saturday he was constantly in the saddle, giving directions and attending to the multitudinousjdaties which devolved *n him in the collection of troops, oaring for thc-ir comfort and putting them in shape to be forwarded to the seat of difflcutlies. So arduous were these duties that his friends could not fail to notioe the careworn appearance he presented Saturday aftermoon, and it muBt have been a feeling of relief when he learned the danger was passed and the troops from this point were not needed.

The assembling of tfoops throughout the state was beneficial in several ways. It showed the importance of home organization for lioMe defense. Before Mor gan invaded Indiana he boasted that he would raise a regiment in this state. He raised several.

War Votes.

Two or three companies of citizens ef Charleston, 111., passed through Terre Haste on the 11th, to assist Morgan in his exit from the state.

A train ef four cars, containing two full batteries of brass twelve-pounders, and twenty-four howitzers, was sent from St. Louis, on the 11th, to Indianapolis, for the reception of John Morgan. They were sent over on a special train from here.

Express, July 11th: A report was circulated on the street yesterday afternoon that the unfortunate Seventy-first had again been captured by John Morgan at Paoli. Col. Thompson telegraphed the adjutant general, and was informed that it was a mistake.

Express July 9th: We regret to learn that Capt. John J. P. Blinn was mortally wounded in the recent battles in Pennsylvania. A braver or truer toldier never lived.

A TRIP TO PRAIRIETON.

On Saturday evening, the 16th inst., occurred the public installation and Inspection of Blinn post. No. 393, G. A. at Prairieton, and was attended by the following named comrades of Morton post: Past CemAander R. P. Davis, comrades Lutz, Brown, McElvain, Tomlinson and Henderson and the memory of the royal reception tendered us by the comrades of Blinn post, and the magnificent supper provided by the fair ladies of the village and vicinity, will remain ever in our hearts. God bless the ladies, it was their fidelity and devotion to the cause that cheered the drooping spirit and soothed the pain of those who were stretched upon many a wearv couch, and nerved the arm of those who were battling at the front. They were found by our sides then with their fend touch and endearing words of courage and hope, and we find them there to-day, ready now as then to step to the front and assume responsibilities in the cause of huasanity and justice, from which we of the stronger sex would well nigh shrink. But to return to the bounteous and richly laden supper table it was here that the Terre Haute delegation showed their noble appreciation, especially Comrade B. It may be well to remark here that he is a man of no small ponderosity, and has ample room beneatn his vest to Btow away an elegant supper, and he proceeded at once and without any preliminaries to do so. It was the fortune of the writer, or rather the misfortune to have a neat beside him, and I was struck with the meritorious rapidity with which the delicacies from our section of the table disappeared and when his attention was called to it, he explained by saying that he had boen fasting for two days in order to be prepared to do justice to the occasson. Tbe other five, comprising the delegation, finished their course and remained waiting at the table until pommon deoenc^ forbade, a linger stay

and we retired to thfe reception room where we weft entertained in an admirable manner by the Prairie creek band, After waiting an hour for Comrade B, to put in an appearance, a committee was appointed to investigate as to the whereabonts of the missing comrad/s: and upon their return to the dining hall, he was found in a drooping, and generally disorganized condition with a leg of turkey in one.hand and a thirteen pound sponge cake in the other, supported in his chair by some of' the ladies who were fanning him. The united exertions of the ladies and the committee failed to bring him around iintd one of the Comrades with commendable forethought, shouted bean sohp in his ear which in stantly Revived him. We succeeded finally in getting him over to the church edifice where the impressive installation ceremonies of the G. A. R. were ably conducted by Past Commander Davis, as sisted by the officer of the day of Morton post, after which post 394 was inspected by Comrade Tomlinson. Several of the comrades were then called upon to make a few remarks, among others Comrade T. Now it is well known by all his friends and acquaintances that he is the possessor of an amount of cheek which would put to shame that renowned quadruped formerly known as the Army Mule.

Theaefore, when he arose to his feet, the delegation were paralyzed, individu ally and collectively, by his bare-iaced announcement that he was entirely too bashful to speak in public. We felt as though we had been struck by a Dakota blizzard. It was thought for a time that Comrade Mo wauld not survive the shock, and it is doubtful whether Comrade L.'s respiratory organs have yet regained their natural condition. The proceedings were finally brought to a close, everyone feeling that they had been happily entertained. The delegation arrived at home in due time, with no other misliap than that Comrade B. lost a fifteen cent pocket knife, for which he is inconsolable, The delegation have one regret, however, that was the conspicuous absence of Comrade D—y, for we are well assured that had he had a seat at the table the services of the field hospital nurses with a stretcher would certainly have been brought in requisition to -remove him. Nevertheless, we are sorry he did not stand in with us on that occasion. H.

INVOLUNTARY REPORTERS.

L. F. Perdue: "There is plenty of coal in the city, and no immediate prospect of a raise in prices. In fact, I do not thin* prices will go any higher this winter."

Joseph McChesney: "I quit the show business because I was satisfied no money could be made conducting a respectable Bhow, and I would associate my name with no other. A variety theater would make money here."

D. W. Henry: "I shall do my duty as yublic prosecutor, in all cases of the liquor aws violated. There are some instances, however, where there are very plainly circumstances that are extenuating, and which ought not to be hastily prosecuted."

James J. Mitchell: "Considering the present depressed condition of the industrial interests here, I honestly consider Terre Haute to be, proportionately, as driving a business center as any locality in the state. It is a good town for insurance."

Charles J. Kantman: "The German society of Terre Haute is largely musical, and the new Msennerchor, which has in its membership numerous good yoices, is doing much to develop a good musical taste. The music studied is of a high order, and the society is doing well—very well."

Dr. J. R. Crapo: "The accidents which have recently crowded upon the medical fraternity of Terre Haute are alarmingly in excess of any past figures for the same length of time. And the surgical character of the cases we have had within the past four weeks has been bad—very bad. The general health of the city, however, is remarkably satisfactory."

A. Fa'senthal: "The divorce system in this state is one that is decayed. It is wretchedly lax. Divorces are entirely too easy to procure, and marital relations, in a multitude of instances, aie in conse-

?or

4th of February. The only business of importance to come up that I know ol now will be the election of one or two additional teachers for the summer term, and the inspection of the heating apparatus. The building is not insured. The state will not pay all the insurance, but it is willing to pay a portion if the city would do so. If the building was to burn, Terre Haute might lose tbe school. The state now owns the lot in fee simple, and if the state was to abandon it as a school site it wonld not revert to the city."

A well kiibwn citizen: "To any one Who circulates among the people (of this city, the fact will be painfully impressed upon the mind that there is much suffering among our laboring classes of almost all grades. Many mecanhics who never loose an hour when work can be had, have been short of work during the whole spring, summer and fall just past, and were unable to lay up a dollar to Support their families through the hard winter now upon us, and know of more than one family of this class who are in absolute want, and never having been brought to such a pass before, cannot bring themselves to beg. Some may have little homes, but they can't eat them or burn them to keep warm. The Ladies Aid society and township trustees are taxed beyond their power to help by "regulara" and can do nothing for the classes spoken of. I am not a member of any order, but I respectfully suggest that all of the different orders in the city— Masons, Odd Fellows,Knights of Pythias, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Hibernian Benevolent Society, St. Stephen's Brotherhood—in fact, all societies of every kind, appoint committees for conference, to organize a plan of action. Let these committees appoint other com mittees, whose duty it shall be to look up those who are worthy and help them until work can be had. First, however, appoint committees to solicit funds, another committee to purchase supplies at wholesale, get a room to store them in, put a couple of good men in charge, whose duty it will be to issue provisions and coal to persons recommended by the in vestigatmg committee, who should be appointed from among mechanics who have een more fortunate in a financial sense. Let these men in charge keep a book and charge each family with what they get, with the understanding that if they choose to consider it a loan rather than charity, and want to pay for it when they get work, they may do so such money so "d to go to some of the charity organizations for the benefit of widows and_ orphans. I believe that a united movement of this kind, upon the part of our benevolent orders, would meet with most gratifying success, and certainly much suffering Could be relieved among those who are "too proud to beg and too honest to steal."

THE DISTRICT TELEGRAPH.

[uence maintained with too little regard tbe good of private life or society. The laws should be thoroughly made over."

County Commissioner Black: "County expenses must be cut down. There must be lopping off here and there. It has been customary for the county to pay the gas bills in the county offices. There is no law to compel the county to do this. The officers accept the office with all tne burdens, and the gas bill is one of them. I am not in favor of paying their janitor hire. We must reduce expenses."

Mr. Crawford Fairbanks: "While it was eighteen degrees below zero here a few weeks ago, where I was in Mexico it was so warm that I ate meals out doors in the shade. The climate is very pleasant. It rains for about four months of the year, and the other eight months it is dry. After one passes beyond the border it is safe traveling. At the towns along the border it is unsafe for a man to go out after night."

W. H. Brown: "The express business is larger than at this time last year, although freight traffic is dull. It is not generally known here that we carry many thousands of dollars' worth of costly rases and flowers to Chicago from this point. A Chicago firm put $20,000 into a hot-house plant east of the city a couple of years ago, and every night we take boxes of flowers to Chicago, where they are sold to the trade. Some of these boxes are marked valued at $75. They contain Mareschal Neil roses and the more costly varieties."

County Commissioner Dickerson: "The commissioners are considering the petition of R. J. Smith for the right of way along the river bottom grade. Mr. Smith desires to construct a track across the bridge, and we do not know what steps to take. The track across the bridge will be for passenger purposes only. He will erect coal dumps at the west end of the bridge, and haul his cool across the bridge in wagons. The commissioners will consider the question carefully before final action is taken."

Judge Mack: "Applicationscame to me almost every day to induce me_ to send boys to the reform school. Various pretexts are worked up by those wanting to et rid of boys to have them sent there. I tave refused and shall continue to refuse to send any boy to Plainfield, except where he has been guilty of some ciiminal act and it is my judgment that he would be benefited by confinement at the school. Why, there are not verv rare instances, where step-mothers who have grown weary of having boys about have induced fathers to apply for the commitment of their own sons to the reform school when there was not a shadow of a reason for snch a csuree. I want it understood that I shall not accede to such unnatural demands in any instance."

Deputy Countjr Clerk John Warren: "An unusual incident happened to-day. It never happened before to my knowledge since I have been connected with the clerk's office. A man came in and began to growl because there were not more fees charged against him. He said there was too much work for the pay. He was perfectly sane, and not a lawyer." An attorney, who was standing near, said: "That is equal to my case. I have been dodging a man for some time who is anxious for me to sue him. He is looking for a law suit, and anxious for one. WTiy don't I sue him Well, he has a claim that will more than offset the one I have against him."

The Manner of its Workings—How Ten Signals Can be Used.

The district telegraph will be in operation in a short time. The boxes are being put in. The wires, which were strong last Bpring, have been repaired, tested, and found to be all right. Three hundred subscribers have been secured, and the company is confident that the num-, ber can be increased to 400 and possibly to 500. During the first month no charge will be made for the use of the boxes, the object being to demonstrate to the subscribers the practicability of the service. The central office will be at the Board of Trade, where the wires have been run and connections made. The workings of the telegraph are exceedingly interesting. Every subscriber is furnished a "box" or instrument, or as many as he wants for fifty cents a month for each box. The box will be placed in residences, business houses or. offices the same as a telephone. The faceof the box is circular and has a moveable hand something like the hand of a clock. Ten numbers are indicated on the face of the box. Each subscriber tfill be furnished with the numbers arranged: 10 ....Fire

To assure the subscriber that the call has been heard, the call is answered by riuging the bell attached to the box of the subscriber. The subscriber leaves the name of the family physician at the central office, and if the doctor should be desired the hand on the box is moved to 3, the button pressed, and the signal is given at the central office. The operator finds that Dr. Blank is registered as the family physician, and dispatches a messenger boy to tne doctor's office and informs him where his services are desired. Nos. 4,5, 6, 7 and 8 are left blank, and the subscriber can fill them out as he pleases. If it is desirable to have the grocer called the hand is moved to No. 4, and the grocer is informed in the same manner as the doctor. If the husband is compelled to remain late at his office, No. 5 rssji be made to mean "come home." The sp nal numbers can be made to say, bring a btj£ steak home, a bottle of medicine, or that the baby is worse, etc. The subscriber must inform the office where the person desired can be found. If the person has a telephone he will be informed in that manner if not, a message will be dispatched. This class of messenger service will be free. When messengers are desired to run errands their services will be charged for by the hour. At theheadquarters of the fire department an indicator will be placed andsignals arranged. The city will be divided into five districts and each district will be numbered and given a signal. If the subscriber's house should catch fire, an alarm can be sent in by turning the hand on the box to ten, and pressing the button. A gong is soundea at the fire department. If the subscriber lives in fire district sixteen, the gong will strike one and then pause, and then six strokes

If the police are wanted the police signal is given and a telephone message is sent fror? the district telegraph office to po'l-je headquarters. No. 2, the test call, should be used every few days to insure the perfect working of the instrument.

Milwaukee Journal: It is Btrange what stories will get circulated abroad. For instance, it has long been crcaked about the country that Milwaukee is not a good newspaper town. And yet it is a custom in Milwaukee upon each holiday for a brewing company to leave a keg of beer at each daily newspaper office. And there are thirteen breweries in Milwaukee.

Maud S. is quietly passing the winter in Mr. Bonner's stables on Fifty-first street, near Fifth avenue, says the Turf, Field and Farm. She has been let up, and care is taken to keep her feet dressed to a perfect balance. In lieu of halffrozen grass she receives carrots every day, and these keep her cool. Mr. Booner thinks she does better on them than she would on any winter grass outside of Kentucky. She is full of play, "rd is walked every day on the uncovered path around the stable. She is very fond of hsv, but the allowance is somewhat restricted, as it is not the desire to have her, to use a stable phrase, belly down. The groom who leads her carries a small bundle of hay under his arm, and she nibbles at it, and thus it is kept quiet. Were there nothing to attract her attention she might injure herself in one of her frolicsome bounds. There is less danger from cold in this kind of treatment than there would be in turning tbe mare out to shiver on the bleak hills back of White Plains. The idea is to introduce as much of nature into the stable rest of the Queen as possible. About February 10th she will wear harness again and slow jogging will begin. The muscles will gradually be hardened, and the gteat chestnut will be ready for the sharp work of the trainer in May. The task before her of cutting down her own record of 2:08f is a great one, but who will drive her when the supreme moment arrives is a riddle which the future alone will so

Joe Cotton, the. king of the Derby course, is looking lusty and strong, and barring accident will be a wonderful performer this season.

J. S. Campbell pays. Carrington, the [ockey, $2,500 for his services this season, lesidee allowing him the privilege of taking outside mounts.

The noted grey gelding, Phil Thompson (2:16i), is said to have made more money last year than any of the other years of his career on the turf.

Bonita, 2:18}, arrived in New York from California a few t*ays ago. She is a tidy little mare, and everybody that has seen her perform says "she is as fast as the wind."

Secretary Wade, of the St. Louis Fair Grounds association, Bays that the entries in the stakes for the Spring meeting are quite large. In fact, there are fully 25 per cent, more entries than there were ast year.

his off

Stonybatter, by imported Highlander dam Countess, bjr Kentucky, was strangled to death in an attempt to drench him with a dose of oil. Stonybatter was a first-class 2-year-old and his loss is a great one to his owner. The accident occurred at Nashville last week.

H. C. McDowell, of Lexington, Ky., lost last week his fine trotting mare Iolanthe, record 2:39}. She fell into a well, the inclosure around which had been torn away by some miscreants. She was sired by King Rene, dam Crepe Lisse, by George Wilkes, and was valued at $8,000.

George Grimes, who is handling the trotter Joe Davis, is authority for the statement that the winnings of the gelding, as reported, are incorrect -'The amount, including purses and matches, should," states Mr. Grimes, "be $33,000, instead of $23,000, while his net earnings, including pools, ar^70,000."

George W. Nelson, of Brooklyn, a wellknown horse-dealer, who had an extensive acquaintance with sporting men generally, was found drowned in Wallabout creek, January 6th. There were no marks of violence upon his body, and it is supposed that the unfortunate man accidentally fell from the pier.

The famous Lizzie Dwyer, now in the aged class of racers, that met with the misfortune of being cut down at St Louis early last season, is entered for the Washington Park cup, a race for all ages entries $100 each, with $2,500 added, of which $300 to second and $100 to third.

Mr. W. L. Simmons writes to the Turf, Field and Farm: "The cause of Early Dawn's death was undeniably poison. The symptoms, progress of disease, death and condition of internal structure, as shown by post-mortem, all undoubtedly indicated arsenic. Many people believe

A deputation from the board of trade waited upon the minister of customs at Ottawa, Canada- last week, to urge upon him the desirability of admitting free of duty American trotting horses that will participate in the approaching races at Ottawa. The minister said the_ arrivals would be admitted free, provided they were entered at their nominal value, 10 per cent of which would have to be put up as a deposit He stated that the amount would be refunded on th& horses returning to the American territory.

An able editorial in the Chicago Horseman, on the work laid out for the meeting of the National Trotting association which assembles in Chicago on the 10th of next month, calls attention to the irregularities and abuses of tbe trottipj? track, and adds that the public have resented these irregularities and abuses by staying away from the meetings, and finally concludes with the following truths: "The public are just as fond as ever they were of the trotting horse. As long as human nature exists, good, geunine racing will always di*w, but the

pablio wast to motive value for their

money—they want what they pay for. We believe the efforts of the united wisdom of the associations will be in faver of progress and reform, and that the result of their deliberations will advance and perpetuate the popularity of the great national sport."

THE LIQUOR LICENSES.

The New Baling of the County Commissioners Starts a Discussion.

It is raid among lawyers at the court house thai complications are likely to arise regarding the. action of the county commissioners in refusing to grant liquor licenses, when notices of intention had not been published the required time next preceding the first board meeting of any regular term. Many retail dealers have deposited their license fee, but according to the above n$med decision of the com missioners will be unable to secure licenses until the first Monday in March. In the meantime if they continued selling liquor they became violators of law and are liable to be prosecuted. The public prosecutor, it is said, will in most cases prosecute these cases and saloonkeepers who "have their money up," but no license, will be compelled to fall in with the rest. Several saloon proprietors, it was said yesterday, announced their intention of putting the matter to a test in the courts.

A NEW VENTURE.

A Valuable German Compound for lessening the Danger From Boilers.

About two months since Otto Meisel, a German citizen of Terre' Haute, received a letter from a friend in Germany, indicating that the formula of a certain valuable medical compound for removing scale from steam boilers could be had cheap for cash. Otto had no ready cash, and thereupon called on a leading Main street merchant with whom he was well acquainted for pecuniary assistance.. Th.s gentleman became convinced that there

was

"money in the matter," advanced $400 and sent Meisel to the old country. Thursday morning, Meisel had returned from Germany and arrived in Terre Haute bearing the right of manufacture and sale of the compound for the United States, the same having been purchased from the owner,

man of dis

solute habits, and one who failed to appreciate the value of

his

invention.

The Terre Haute merchant who has taken a controlling interest* in the matter, has full confidence in the pecuniary value of the compound as an article of manufacture and will invest more largely. He informed a gentleman yesterday that he was half inclined to abandcn merchandising and enter largely into the preparation of the new compound. He will invest largely in the new venture.

REVIVALS.

A Great Temperance Revival Among Coal Blnff Miners,

The little mining village of Coal Bluff, in Nevins township, is experiencing a great temperance revival. It was inaugurated by Mr. J. E. Martin, president of the Vigo county temperance union, and a former employe of the nail works. The Dorling hall, the largest room in the village, is being utilizM for holding the meetings. Two meetings are held daily. Tne village is reported to have several saloons, all within a radius of 300 feet Out of a mining population of 200,142 have signed the pledge. Several of the saloonkeepers have taken the pledge, and lured out their stock of liquor. Mr. artin will go from Goal Bluff to Fontanel.

The Rev. Hayes, pastor of the Macksville Congregational church, is holding a revival there, and has made several converts.

Religious services are being held every evening at Centenary M. E. church, by the pastor, the Rev. Dr, Towne. Tlw workers feel much encouraged, as great interest is being taken. Eight asked for the prayers of tbe church Thursday night. If the interest continues services will be held throughout next week.

FRATERNITIES.

German Order of Harmgarl.

Allemania lodge, No. 497, was organized in this city in 1858. The first officers of the lodge -were Albert Langthen mayor of the city—as presiding officer, Jacob Steinmehl, U. B. Joseph Fellinger, treasurer Nicholas Katzenbach, secretary Peter Katzenbach, financial secretary William Wagner and Peter Best, trustees.

The lodge as organized had but few members, Dut soon grew to eighty-seven embers, all of whom scattered during the war. Since the rebellion, Allemania lodge has been reorganized and grown into one of the most successful associations of the Harrugari in the west. The order is purely a beneficial order and is confined exclusively to the German citizens. They have an insurance system under which members may be insured at option, from $509 to 3.000.

"Zero" and "Fahr."

Zero on the common thermometer, like the fanciful names on the constellations, is an instance of the way wise men's errors are made immortal by becoming popular. Zero comes to us through Spanish from the Arabic, and means empty, hence nothing. In an expression like '60° Fahr.," the abbreviation "Fahr." stands for Fahrenheit, a Prussian merchant of Dantzic, on the shores of the Baltic sea. His full name was Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit From a boy he was a close observer of nature and, when only nineteen years of age, in the remarkably cold winter 01 1709, he experimented with snow and salt together, and noticed that it produced a degree of cold equal to the coldest day of the year. As tnat day was tbe coldest the oldest inhabitant could remember, Gabriel was the more struck with the coincidence of his little scientific discovery, and hastily concluded he had discovered the lowest degree of temperature knoWn to the world, either natural or scientific. He called that degree "zero," and constructed a thermometer, or ruled weatherglass, with a scale graduated up from zero to the boiling point, which he num bered 212, and the freezing point 32, because, as he thought, mercury contracted the thirty-second of its volume on being cooled down from the temperature of freezing water to zero, and expanded the 180 on being heated from the freezing to the boiling point

Until within the pact two years I have had very bad general health for ten yeasr anl during that time have in no one year btsen without the almost constant attendance of a physician upon myself orr some member of my family, until I became acquainted with Simmons Liver Regulator some two years ago, since which time I have always kepi it aud used it in my family with signal effeot In every instance where the liver has been affected. I have not had a doctor in my famity for the past year, and it is the only year In ten that some member of my family has not been under the doctor's hands, and for this gratifying fact I am positively Indebted to Simmons Liver Regulator.
