INDIANA STATE SENTINEU WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 10, 1833.

"WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10.

The melancholy days are here, but where, O where, is the poet to sing of them? Hon. Sam Randall is not the candidate of Iudiana Democrats for Speaker, and don't you forget it. Hon. James O. Blai.nk is asked to tell how be made a million or two while in Congress, but be won't. Dorsey would as soon confess guilty as a Star Route thief or tell the truth about carrying Indiana. Esgland has determined to send us another beauty a Mrs. Cornwallia West, a widow. It is said of her that "she will take the conceit out of Lily Langtry." Barnum should engage her to travel with Jumbo. It is not best to be seriously alarmed, but nevertheless leprosy has made its appearance ia several districts California, "Wisconsin and New Brunswick. In the latter place the scourge has existed for sixty years, and a lazaretto has been built for the unfortunatei. But yesterday the Minneapolis Tribune publisad a dispatch from "authoritative quarters" to the effect that Mr. Hendricks bad settled his little difference with Mr. lüden, that Mr. Kelly has pledged himself to support tae old ticket, and that Air. Tilden has consented that the old ticket foali be again offered the public in lsst. New York Herald. All of which is bosh, and so says Mr. IlenThe distinguished John Roach is out in a lengthy paper telling what he knows about the American Navy and merchant marine. Those who read Mr. Roach's paper should remember that bis statements are not made Tinder oath. Dceisg the War of the Rebellion thirtj'two English vessels carrying cargoes designed to help the Confederates, were captured while attempting to run the blockade of Southern ports. These cargoes were valued at KSG2,00). The value of the cargoes ranged all the way from $1,000 to 130,- (.. JI'jx. Thomas A. Heskcicks returned from .New York yesterday. His attention was called to a recent sensational dispatch from Minnesota, giving a new, revised and highly spiced version of his visit to Mr. Tilden a lew weeks ago. He said that he recognized but a fragment of truth in it. He had nothing to add concerning the visit to the account which he gave in his Iowa speech. In that speech he told all that had occurred Leiwecn Mr. Tilden and himself. The Boston Tost remarks that "it is a waste of time to warn American mothers against selling their daughters to titled foreigners. They know that there is but one chance in 100 for a happy married life, but they think the empty honor of a title worth the risk. The excessive gallantry of the foolkiller is responsible for much evil." Is it a fact that American motners tell their daughters to titled foreigners? Strictly speaking, probably not, but there is that about the transaction which makes it appear like selling. And when fairly analyzed there is associated with such marriages some things compared with which Mormon poly gamistä are not required to blush. Dr. Parker Mokoan decline to leave tJ.0) as assistant minuter of a Church in Ne York to accept S10.COO as rector of a Church in Chicago. Dr. Ilenrv C. Totter, of Grace Church, acceptM yesterday the office of Assistant BisuoO of tue Uioce of üevr York. Iiis salary will be S'J.ÜO J. Such items, going the rounds of the press, are suggestive. They indicate great financial prosperity in some of the Churches of the countrv. Dr. Tarker Morgan, it seems, is satisfied with $0,000 a year. There are fiftytwo" Sundays in a year. Mr. Morgan now receives $115.33 for his services during each Sunday of the year. If he delivers two serxaons a day he lealizes fr'.QO for each production, or, for the entire 3G5 days in the year he receives $lG.4't per day rain or shine. He seems to be satisfied with that amount "We congratulate him.. Bishop Totter receives $173.07 for each Sabbath in the year, or $24.04 per day for the 305 days of the year. That will do remarkably well. In some localities theology pays still better. "When Christianity pays cash down in such amounts, it may be said that the Churches sre financially prosperous. paij:, all things considered, is the most contemptible Christian(?) Nation on the face of the earth. It has neither cash, character nor credit It is cursed with bull-fights and bigotry, priests and pusillanimity. It has more ignorance to the square yard than an African jungle. It is the land of the stabdirk, death and darkness. It is semi-savage superstition and inquisition. Spain is a ßhame. As a Nation it is a wart, a pimple, an ulcer, a fistula, a sty, a corn, an abomination generally. Its Dons and its donkeys, belles and beggars, are mad because a Faris mob hooted their King a banjo-player and a fandango-dancer, a decorated poodle, who went to Germany and accepted the Colonelcy of & regiment; as much as to say, in future if Germany gets into a fight with France, I fight for Germany. As a matter of course he ought to have been h5oted. The Paris mob had a keener sense of the fitness of things than President Grevy and his Cabinet (Spain proposes now to humiliate France make the Republic apologise, and the indications are that France will come down, beg Spain's" pardon, crawl in the dirt If so, anything in the shape of a Government is better than such a Republic. JoAQris Miller, writing to the New York E'jr from Virginia, tells a good story of the indignation of a grand old Virginia gentleman, who disco ved that he had glucose on Lis table which had btea purchased for honey. "At breakfast one morning," writes Joaquin, "a bottle of honey, so-called, was brought upon the table to be spread on the crisp and smoking corn-cakes.- Well, this honey' proyed to be glucose. Thia glucose Lad been poured in upon a 'honey-comb' which some Yankee had made by machinery. The good and gray old man had just finished saying grace. But he got up. He struck his fist in the air, and I tell you he fairly turned the atmosphere blue. 'In France, sab, that grocer's store would be shut up, confiscated, in ten minutes, sah. lie -would be tried for adultery, sah! Yes, sah; the law of Moses means just that sah. It means that you shall not adulterate sugar, or coffee, or tea, or honey, or any of God's gifts to man, sah! Honey? honey? That's

the work of honest bees, sah? Its glucose, glucose G d sticky, stinking gl ueose, Sah!' " 0 WOnder the piOUS Old Virginian got mad. The idea of asking a blessing upon such a fraud as "glucose-honey" was too great a strain. Topreserve perfect equanimity of temper and maintain unexceptional propriety of speech pious pater familias must not investigate the groceries.

THE .ELECTIONS. The point of greatest interest yesterday was the Ohio election, and we have the ex ceading pleasure of announcing to the readers of the Sentinel this morning that Judge Hoadly and the entire Democratic State ticket have received majorities ranging from 5,000 to 7,000. This is a great victory in view of tbe fact tbat tlia Republicans have been claiming the State by not less than ten thousand, and Governor Foster said it might reach 30,000. It is impossible at this time to give any Intel lizcnt ooinion as to the comp exion of the Legislature. "With such a decided Democratic majority in the State, we may hope for the best, however. The election in this, city passed off quietly, and the very oest results were noticeable in regard to the workings of the new police system. The Metropolitans attended strictly to business, and there was an entire absence of the old-time bulldozsrg of Democratic voters. For the first time within at least two decades the two parties stood upon an equal footing at the poll?. This is demonstrated by the meager majority received by the Republican ticket. Instead of the usual 1,500 or 2,000 majority the "grand old party" has had its back completely broken, and, if it is saved at all, it will be by a very trifling majority. Mr. McMaster will probably pull through by something near 100, while if Mr. Fattison gets through at all it will be by about twenty-five votes. Tbe Treasurer and Assessor on the Republican ticket will have much larger majorities than McMaster. The Democracy made a gallant light for the Council and have secured twelve out of the twenty-five, with the Fourth Ward a tie. The Aldermanic Board will stand seven Republicans and three Democrats. Taking everything into consideration, therefore, we claim this morning a decided victory for the Democracy. We are in splendid shape for the Presidential canvass, and in view of the result in Ohio, it looks as if the question of 1S4 was already settled in favor of the nominee of the next National Democratic Convention. Lokp Coleeidue, Chief Justice of England, gives Mr. Gladstone credit for making him what he is. He says: "My professional success, such as it was. I did not owe to him; but all of public distinction, such as it is, that has ever fallen to my lot is entirely owing to the persevering and the undue kindness of Mr. Gladstone for me." Lord Coleridge is not the only distinguished En glishman who owes all the public-distinction tbat has fallen to their lot to favoritism, and the United States have their tull share of such great men. Tewksbit.yism in Massachusetts is giving the Republican party in that State a deal of trouble. A curiosity in the shape of a skinticket, an imitation of tanned human skin, with the names of the Marshes on it, as Re publican candidates, is a feature of the But ler campaign. Tewksburyism is likely to kill Republicanism in the old Bay State. a-liUSONLi'J. The Brooklyn Eagle sajs that Mary Andcrsou is twenty-seven. V iix Carleton contributed to the newspapi.-s when only a boy. The richest man in Michigan is John R. Bagley, son cf the late ex-Governor. Mw Teksysos, it is said, has a face like the Santa Monica of Ary Serieller. TnE finest stables ia Lowell, Ma's., belong to General liutlfr, where nine thorougnbrcds are kei t. One thin; about Mary Anderson she, hasn't any English Gebhard toxins around alter her, anyway. Babtholomew Tarxev, of Eath, Steuben County. X Y.. ignalized his 100th birthday the other day bv walking three miles. Mrs. Ccrxwalus West, the English beauty who is coming to this country to tike tbe conceit out Cf Lily La eg try, is a widow. Mary Anderson is described in the English newspapers as a young lady of eighteen. Those English journalists are always behind the age. I.oso Jens We.vtworth tells Uostonlans who ask him how lonz he really is that ne hasn't been measured for ever so long, but he's getting along, nevertheless. John Gycmber, the famous Hungarian sleeper Of Ailentown, fa., was married the other day, and his chances for another seven months' nap are extremely doubtful. Will Cakletox, the popular ballad writer, is six feet tall, quite sleuder. bas an aquiline nose, blue eyes and hair slightly Kray. He could easily be mistaken for a young clergyman. Mr. Thomas Corns, an Englishman 130 years oil and his wife of eighty, have just emigrated from Michigan to Washington Territory, where the old gentleman expects to find gowd shooting, Lord Kof.beby, now in this country, is blonde, short, and handsome, while Lady Rose be ry, who was Miss Hannah Rothschild,' U tall, thin, and elegant, with a Jewish cast of countenance. Hon. David Davis has "retired from politics." Another evidence of the good effects of marrying a good woman. David will no longer wear out his best pants ou the top rail of the political fence. The funeral of Lucy Fish Curtis, who died at West Randolph. Vt, at the aje of about 100 years, was attended by all her six children, tne youngest being fifty five and the oldest cijhty-tlrce years of age. Op tbe Booth children, originally ten in number, only four survive-Kosalie, Edwin, Joseph and Asia S., wife of John S. Clark, the comedian. Tbe mother is also living at the age of four-score years. The Washington Capitol says Anna Dickinson took the first mule to the top of Pike's Peak. Just like that obstinate woman. Ever since that tlnvj the mules have taken the women to the top of the mountain. THEgallant Captain Rhodes has decided that he will not swim as yet. He has bou;nt a bolMoi for $15 and will send tbe brate through the rapid first If the doz survives, the Captain says be will make the attempt; if the dog U drovrned he will

stay out. Under all the circumstances it would be better, perhaps, to tend the Captain through and gire the $45 dog a chance. Mns. Saetoeis, nee Nellie Grant, is la Warsaa, the County seat of her father-in-law, near Southampton, where ahe was recently joined by her busband. Ehe laughs to scorn the thought of Sartoris' disloyalty. At a reception lately given in Newport by Miss Catharine I Wolfe, whose Income is Bali to he only $4.000 a day, the dining-room walls were covered with wild grapevine, to which hot house grapes were cunningly secured. A letter received from General Sherman mentioned that Justin Gray had ridden over 300 miles on horseback on consecutive days without fatigue. As the Justice weUhs about 275 pounds it would be interesting to know how the horse got along. LiectesantGreely's wife is a very beautiful woman, being tall and well made, with tbe complexion of a tea rose, black hair and deep blue ejes, with long lashes. She 13 very cultivated, and although a CalUoraian, belongs to the New England Nesmitns. MES. JCLIA GaEDNIR TYJ-ER, the Widow Of exPresident John Tyler, and Mrs. Sarah Childress Polk, the widow of ex President James K. Polk, are each paid their pension by the Knoxville Agency. Tbeir pension is 85.000 a year each, payable in quarterly installments. Hr.. Frank Leslie is alleged to have cone to Europe to marry a Du.e. but changed her mind and bought a pair of diamond earrings worth f 25,000. She showed sense. The earrings can not put on airs over her, and tncy don't have to be fed on terapin and champagne, and they can't sneer at "this blarsted country don't you knaw," and it won't cost anything to keep the earrings in fast horses, and they will not want her to buy a yacht A Duke would have been a nuisance. Mr. Liscouf, the Secretary of War, was forty years old upon the 1st of last August. lie is a man slightly above the medium height. lie 1 well rounded, and inclined to be stout. He almost invariably dresses fu black. Iii head is square and full. Iiis luxuriant mustache and full short beard are light brown, several shades darker than his thick, short-cropped hair. His complex

AKT AND ARTISTS The portrait of the late Governor Stephen, of Georgia, for the Representative Chamber will be painted by Mrs. J. R. Gregory. Frank IUssell Green, of Chicago, has painted a Urge "Death of Juliet." in which the "Juliet" Is Miss Mather, the actress, and the "Romeo" is Salvini. A London man who owns a portrait of Washing ton, and a aword once used by the Father of his Country, sends a request for a piece of timber from Mount Vernon with which to make a frame or cate for the relics, Mr. Bla-kheld has painted for tbe opera singer, Mi.-s Cary. a decorative work in several panels containing figures from various operas in which she has been a popular favorite.. "I Favorita," "II Trovaiore." "Aide." "Faust." and "Lohensriu" yield male and female characters. The Art Institute of Chicago will buy from the Exposition in that city "Les Amateurs," by Alexander Harrison. It was shown at the List Salon in Paris and costs 2.000. Last year the institute bought for the same price the "Beheading of Joha the Baptist," by Charles Sprague Pearce. Princess Louise lias given to the National Gal lery of Canada a large and well-executed copy of the famous paintiug of the death of General Wolfe "Tbcyfly! Wholly? The enemy. Then I die happy" by Eenjamiu West. The original belongs to tbe Duke of Westminster and is in his Cheshire Gallery at Eaton. Fol r very ancient pictures of saints, worked on velvet, have been sold at Ersindjan, Asiatic Tur key. to a French archrcoloztst, by a member of the celebrated Armenian Monastery at that place. The price was 111, It appears that be had no right to dispose of them, and that they are priceless. Tho randal who so dlgraccd his Monastery is named Kara bet Kurdian. The pictures are said to be now in Europe, and little hope is entertained of their recovery. The statute to Lafayette at Le Pur is tbe first erected to him la Fruuce. It Is bronze. lie stauds drcsed in the uniform of the Garde Nationale, with his chapeau in his left hand and holding up in his right the trl-color cockade which denoted by its three colors the Orleauists.

There were 1,200 applicants for the post of public executioner made vacant by the death ot Marwood.

A HOOSIEIi HANGING.

A Successful Execution at Fort "Wayne. Samuel McDonald Hanged for the Murder of His Companion, Louis Laurent. TUE FATAL DROP. Execution of Samuel McDonald at Ft. Wayne ' the Murder of Louis Lau rent March S3 Iant. Special to the Sentinel: Ft. Wayse, Ind., Oct 9. The execution of Samuel McDonald in this city to-day was a pronounced success so far as the proper working off of the condemned ia concerned, The engine of death was simply perfect in all its details and the death of the culprit was instantaneous. The condemned man assed a restless night, was up bright and ear ly this morning and willingly placed himself under the ministration of his spiritual advissers, Fathers Crammer and Hartman. He ate a hearty breakfast, and an hour before hia death devastated a full grown meal of steak. eggs and potatoes, relishing everything of fered. At precisely 1 p. m. he was led forth from his cell, flanked on either side by a DeDutv Sheriff and a priest, the latter reciting the miserere as they marched to the scaffold, w hich, upon being reached, was as cended by the condtmned man with a steady step and apparently unmoved as far as any outward emotions were visible. Arriv ing upon the platform. Sheriff Shiefer in a clear voice read the death warrant, the condemned man teeming to pay no particu lar attention to this useless formality, but kept his eyes steadily fixed upon the cross held up before Lira by Father Brammer, at the conclusion of which McDonald stepped forward, and, addressing the auditory present, said: "Gentlemen, I have nothing to say, only l hope ood win iorgive me. Then, after a brief hesitation, lie added: "Good-by to ail of you." Not a tremor was noticeable in his voice, nor was there any evidence of weakening. Sheriffs Nel3on and Doyle then proceeded to pinion the prisoner in the usual manner, while the attending priest recited the prayers in extremis. The black muslin cap having been properly ad justed, Sheriff Shiefer stepped upon the spring which released the prop to the treach erous trap, letting the victim fall six feet. The knot originally placed beneath the left tar shifted to the back of the neck; notwithstanding whih fact the neck was dislocated. A few rjuscular contortions of the legs alone ware seen, but it was evident tbat death was instantaneous. Sheriff Shiefer is highly complimented by the excellent manner in which he discharged his enforced yet disagreeable duties, neither he nor any of his assistants having witnessed an execution before. Tbe parents and aflianced of the condemned man had taken their leave of him yesterday, one brother alone staying to witness the terrible finale. The father and one brotherof McDonald's victim were present, and seemed satisfied that justice had been, done, they having generously extended their pardon this morning to the unhappy man. The remains were conveyed to the residence of the parents of the deceased, who will bury them day after tomorrow upon their farm, eight miles north of the city, near the town of Areola, where the traqedy occurred, on the 23d day of March last. It is understood that McDona'd has left a written confession, to be given to the public at the end of thirty days. McDonald murdered Louis Laurert. his cabin companion. He w as last seen in his company on the night of March 22 in the cabin in a clearing. Ou the 'JOlh the body of Laurent was found in th9 cabin frightfully mutilated. McDonald was convicted of murder in. the fist degree on May 22. The evidence was wholly circuiuataiitial, but so overwhelming that no doubt of his guilt existed A full sketch of the crime aud trial was published ia Tuesday's SeulincL '-o A MANIAC IN CIIlßCH. JJe Invnde!JtheXu';it, Draws a Knlfe.nnd Fore the Vi earlier to Tiun for His Life. Eastman, Ga., Oct. 0. Central Point Church, in a remote part of Tike County, numbered among its congregation Sunday a maniac, who 'was so violent in his ravings that a discontinuance of the services Was necessitated and murder at the altar narrowly averted. Tho man, Samuel McAllister by name, made hh first appearance a week ago, but was decoyed from the shrine without much commotion. Yesterday morning he reappeared, and made his presence known by rising in his pew and asking the minister not to preach Upon being requested to keep silent, he shouted: "If you undertake to preach Christ and Him crucified. I am here to make you prove your doctrine." McAllister interrupted the announcement and reading of the first hymn several times, and when two verses had been rendered became so excited by the music that he jumped upon the seat and stood beating time for the congregation and leading the anthem in a TO ice which resounded above all the others After the usual prayer Key. Mr. Jessup commenced his sermon. He had scarcely uttered two sentences, however, when McAllister sprang into the pulpit, and hurling the books to the floor, shouted: "If that is your doctrine, prove it before you go any further!" being asked to be quiet, he said: "Oh, Ican't be quiet God bas sent me to do this, and I came prepared to sacrifice my life on His altar to defend His teachings." With lightning-like movement the man flashed a keen bladed knife into view and held it aloft over his head with one hand while he advanced on the minister with the other outstretched toward his throat The preacher, realizing that his. life was at stake, btat a retre t toward the door, to be followed in a wild rush by most of the women in the Church and a majority of the men. The scene was traffic in the extreme, many of the women adding to the terror by screaming and two others falling to the Moor near the door in fainting tits, thus precipitating a panic of excitement Fortunately, however, some of the men in th crowd retained sutlicient presence of mind to drag the limp forms to one side of the doorway on the sward. In the Church six men essayed to capture the maniac, but dividing their intention, he kept tbeiu at bay with his knife until he pained an open window, through which he sprang and made his escape. Before leaving he taid he would be present at the afternoon service, but he failed to put in an appearance, and as ho had not returned to the hamlet this afternoon fears are entertained lest be lost his life in one of the nogs which are commoiyto the woods in the vicinity.

A party of sportsmen returning from a rabbit hunt in the woods near Chestertown, Warren County, were yesterday attracted to a spot by the barking Of their dogs. They nie to where he was snufhing about a pile of leaves, and discovered the tiny foot of a dead infant that had evidently I been there but a short time. Hastily scattering the leaves the party found the little body perfectly preserved from decay and unmarked bv animals. Tbe news of tbe discover? li.iH 8carcejy attained circulation when two boys huntinir in the woods came across the jroods and pack of a Jew teddler. who had been vending his wares in the vicinity, concealed under a heap of leaves. A number of villagers inspecting the woods found another package containing tablecloths, oilcloths, and a variety of wares usually carried bv peddlers. A trau, appearing to have been made by drawing some heavy body, led from near the place ot concealment to a stream that joins the Schroon River at a point two miles below. A hat, recognized as one worn by tho peddler, was found near the stream. and J jadsto the beliet that tue peddler was murdered and thrown into the water. The presence of the dead child can not be ac counted for. There is great excitement in the neighborhood. 1JKST ON ItKCOKO. Keinarknble Feat of the I'arer JoIinstoH at Cliicngo A Mile He nt in 2:10. Chicago, Oct 'X The great event of the day at the Chicago Driving Park was the beating of all previous records by the young pacer, Johnston, driven by Teter V. John ston. The horse got a warming up in 2:22, and on the second trial paced without a break or skip in exactly 2:10, thereby making the fastest harness record ever known. The feat accomplished by the pacer John ston in eclipsing all records by covering his mile in 2:10 evoked the wildest enthusiasm among the spectators at the track, and es pecially among horsemen present, who held their watches on him. The animal made a line start, and covered the first quarter in without a skip, three-quarters in 1:30, and his driver then, as thoucrh he knew how close he was upon the best time, made by Sleepy Tom, the pacer, and Maud S., the trotter, touched the young animal with the whip, iheenect was noticeable to every close watcher, and, while the pacer showed an accelerated and straining movement, he maintained a remarkable steadiness, and passed under the wire with a tremendous swintr, but moving as evenly as a locomo tive. Horsemen claimed for him 2M, which was the time one of the judges cred ited him, but even figures were scored against him to make sure. CIIAIiLKV M'COMAS.

Lcroy, who left there September 19, for Mexico, to obtain little Cbarlev McComas from the Indians, returned there vesterday, their efforts bein; unsuccessful owing to the death of Ju, the principal Indian Chief, who wai drowned in Casa Grande River while drunk, on the 21st, which Lad demoralized the band, and because of the presence of a large body of Mex ican troops and the in tenerence of Mexican local authorities.

No device that can add to the comfort anil convenience of a dwelling is omitted in our modern architecture, and money is not regarded when the luxury of clothing or beauty of personal adornment is in question. Hence we all live in better bouses and wear Letter clothes than did cur forefathers. by should we not take the same better care of bur health? "Why should dyspepsia, and the train of diseases th.it follow it, almost unknown in the olden time, be so prevalent now? Simply because of the poisonous and indigestable trash which in these davs is forced upon the public as genuine food, or used to adulterate those articles that go to make up the daily bill of fare of every household. Our forefathers were content to make money by plaiu and honest methods; but tbe hot competition of the present day and the strife for rapid riches have called forth all the ingenuity of modern science to devise cunning deceptions that shall enable the avaricious dealer to more rapidly increase his profits, even though he destroy the health of the public thereby. The consequence is adulterated, impure, poisonous and bogus food on every hand. The people buy these adulterated articles of food because they are cheap, entirely ignorant of their poisonous qualities. A few years ago this evil had reached such alarming proportions in England that the public sentiment demanded legislative interference, ai.d Parliament enacted the most severe repressive laws. Dr Small. U. S A., after an examination recently made under the direction of the War Department, concludes that the adulteration of food is as trreat in tli is country to day, and of as dangerous a character, as it was in England at the time referred to. No article entering so penerally into the food of every family has been found more villainously adulterated than bating powder. For the purj-ose of underselling an absolutely pure baking powder ike the "Hoya!" which has become the standard for purity and strength in baking powders hundreds of dealers are putting up baking powders with cheap and adulterated cream of tartar. containing lime, earth, etc , adding . Btrtugth by the free use of alum. These powders are sold cheap, but their me is expensive, for they are one of the chief causes of the dyspepsia from which the American people are suffering. This species of adulteration, at least, can lie avoided by followin the advice of Profes-sor Mott, the chemist to the Government, who recommends consumers 'when purchasing baking powders to select oi.e standard iw.:er, as the 'Royal Biking Powder.'rather than to risk purchasing adventurous compounds put upon the market by persons who have no higher motive than dollars and cents." We hope to see Congress take hold of this important matter in a sufficiently vigorous manner to put an end to the whole ne farious business. In tho mean time, if ieorlc will be as careful to buy the bast and purest food as they are to wear the bet clothes and build the most comtortaMe houses, it will not be necessary to ask so frpnncntlr the oueslion. "Why are we sick?' Every scientific test has proven the "Boval to be pure aud wholesome.
