But the twelfth Indiana Regiment possessed a pet of whom it may be said that he en joyed a renown scarcely second to that of the wide-famed Wisconsin eagle. Ibis was 'Little Tommy." as he was familiarly called in those days the youngest drummer boy and, so far as the writer's knowledge goes, the youngest enlisted man in tho Union army. The writer well remembers having seen on several occasions His diminutive size and child-l ike appeaiadce, as well as his remarkable &kiu ana grace in handling the drum-stick?, never failed to make an impression not soon to fade from the memory. JSoiue brief and honorable mention of "Little Tommy." the pride of the Twelfth Indiana Regiment' should not be omitted in these "Ilecollections of a drummer bov.M Thomas Hubler was born in Fort Wayne, Allen county, Indiana, October Kb. 1SÖ1.

On the outbreak of the "War, bis father, who had been a German soldier of the truest type, raised a company of men in response to President Fincoln's first call for 75. H"j troops. 'Tittle Tommy" was .among the first to enlist in his father's company, the date of the enrollment being April lytb., 1-SoT. lie was then nine years and six months old.

The voices that spoke held laughter in 'their tones The first speaker t-xU off her Lerby with a (lourish, and stood with bare Lad beside Klsie Chapin, who had led her iv bite pony from the -stable near the Academy where fche came every morning, being a day pupil of that somewhat celebrated Ecbool. She lived four miles away, and cantered bark and fortb, 'taking rare of her Meed herself. .She had no riding skirt, and her little plain brown dress fluttered back in the wind as siie looked at her companions, both of them whom were gayly dressed, with flounces Hying and ribbon ends: streaming, their mannish collars tied by square bows. JJriht giri ail of tbem; and is there anything brighter than twirls of fifteen and sixteen arc nowadays? Elsie's wide red mouth and big eyes put on a look of scorn. "As if either of you could put me on Thimble!" she said. 'Try us," cried Marion, "I can at least do as well a lio b AI orris, who fell on his knees in the dust." Then the three laughed ringingly, just from ebecr yoaihtul Mdrit. Marion stepped forward and lent down Willi her two i.anJ-i clasped tightly together. "Give me happiness by making me your rave, O fuirist of the fair!" she cried with a bolenin air. Kate went to the pony's Lead and laid her band on the weather-stained bridle. Elsie put her foot lightiyon the clapped hands and i rang into the saddle. "somebody spiead down a cloak, so that my ponv's feet may not be soiled by tint mud." she laid, as the made sure that the

hemp satchel of books was securely fastened to the pommel. "Now you ask to much," replied Marion. "Jly lioi'es, my heart, my life, you may have, but not this lovely new plaid wrap," Lugging the article closely about her. "Adieu, then, until to morrow," responded Elsie, gathering the reins more securely in her hands. Thimble danced a little, which wJU his way of saying he was more than ready. His mistress shook the lines and be started, his "banged" fore-too flying backward, his snowy hogged mane standing up very thick and straight. The two girls watching could not help envying Klsie the fleet Texas pony which she had ridden constantly for more than a year "You know we can't afford to have him," I.lsie had said in confidence to Marion; "but father consented to buy him if 1 would really wear myoid dresses and hats, so that Thimble could have the money for his food. J promised, and now if I get so shabby you areasbamed.ofjme, why, Ishall have tobearit. that's all. But I wouldn't give ud Thimble; he knows more than all of us put together." "I believe it," Marion Lad said, standing with her nrm over the pony's neck. "His eyes are not as bright as that for nothing. And as for being shabby, why, I'd rather wear blue gingham all the rest of my life and have such a love of a beastie!" and she kissed him on the end of his soft nose a Carets Which he bore with calmness, evidently having his own opinion about the Usefulness of girls in purveying him goodies. Jsow as Elsie rode" out of the yard the northeast wind came sweeping full in her face, beating with it a fine storm. But what cared she.' Her blue jacket was buttoned tightly across her chest, and her hat pulled firmly" down over her forehead. "You'll have it full upon you," called Kate Ana Marion put her hands to her mouth, and shouted, "Elsie, 'ware the marshes of Saugus." The rider turned and Taved her hand, and then the ponv settled down into his quick lope, and in o moment Elsie and Thimble were out of sight, shut in on the long, straight road by the thick storm, which came on with that sudden sweep which characterizes one phase of a northeast storm on the New England coast. It did not rain; it was a thick mist, and smelled as salt as though the ocean were tossing up its .spray just the other side of the road. It had been a short of "dry storm" all day, and the ocean had been moaning loudly. The two girls turned and strolled toward the large boarding house which stood at the farther end of tho academy yard. It was almost dark, but there was going to be a moon. A side door opened suddenly, and Miss Monroe, the principal, appeared. "Elsie Chapin has not gone?" she asked, quickly. "Yes, a few moments ao." "I am sorry. I intended to ask her to stay here over night The storm is coming on furiously' It was only yesterday I spoke to her mother, telling her not to be anxious when it was very bad weather, for I should keep Els!e It is too late in the fall for her to go so far when it is not pleasant." The kind face looked so worried lhat Marion said, with the earnest ncssjof conviction, "Miss Monroe, the pony will take her home safely; he will get there in less than half an hour; you've no idea how fast he can go." Out m the increasing storm Elsie was sitting her pony with her head bent down, and her leu hand holding the bridle loosely. Thimble's small feet clattered swiftly over ihe stony road, and every time he feft the bridle shaken on his neck lie dashed forward stid faster, the darknesi thickening all the time Their way lay along a wide stretch of salt marsh, and the road was only a few feet aliove the level of the low held which stretched out for hundreds of acres. In such a storm one might wander here for days even and not find Iiis nay, nor see a sight save the fog. nor hear a sound save the swash of the sea far Jown at the shore, and the cry of wild birds w ho were hurrying to their Southern homes. Far ahead or it looked far in the dark mist Elsie suddenly saw the gleam of a light; it shone palely in the watery atmosphere. It seemed to be on the road, and the girl rapidly approached it. pulling up her pony a few minutes later as she saw it was a market wagon which went by her home tw ice a week. The man was walking by his horse, and swingings lantern as he went. "Hullo!" he cried, spying the white anin.al. "De you 'Liab Cha pin's darter?" "Yes, sir."

"I was about sure of it from the pony. I never calkilated to see you, but there s a mighty row down to your house." "What?"' said Else, sharply, her mind gOiri instantly to her mother, whom she loved With all the faith and aticctiou of a loyal, upright nature, and who had been an invalid so much of the time that Elsie always felt a kind of care for her. "Yes," went on the man, with that curious satisfaction in telling unpleasant news that is so marked in some people. "You see. Miss Chapin she was sent for 'bout nine o'clock this morning to go to Bill Karter's on the marsh end 'cause his child was sick The child died, so they tell me. and Miss L'hapinYer own mother, ain't it?'' "Yes! yes!" said Elsie, breathlessly. "Wa'al, she started about two o'clock to come home, and she ain't got there yit. Yer father he happened to see some one that knew she started' and now there's a parcel of men gene oat to find her. They think she's got bewildered in the fog, ye see. Elsie's voice was high and strange as she asked : "How long ago? --did they start, I mean!" "Cioin' on two hours." "Did they take the dog with theni?" "Don't know; guess not; I didn't see no dog." Elsie's mind ran riot for a moment without her having the least control of it. She turned Thimble so that the cart passed on ; but instead of allowing the pony to go on, she checked him, and lie stood Impatiently shaking his handsome head, switching his square-cut tail, and putting back one ear, as if to ask what was tne meaning of this. The light the market-man carried was soon swallowed up in the darkness; and now Eisie looking before her, knew that if her pony had not been white she could not have seen its head, so dense was the atmosphere that encircled her. Not for many seconds of time did the girl hesitate. "There's small chance of finding her unless they went after the dog," she said. "I can find her with Max." She knew that Max had gone home with a cousin of hers who lived a mile beyond her own home; he frequently staid there for several days at a time. "I can find her; I will find her!" she cried. "Go, Thimble go as you never went before!" The pony jumped forward, neighed shrilly, and then settled down. Elsie knew he could do bis mile in four minutes well enough, and she had no uneasiness concerning the way, for Thimble could have gone blindfolded, and in fact he was utterly blindhd by the darkness and the storm. But he did not flinch; he leaped through the darkness, the thud of his swift hitting hoofs being the only sound in the noise of the wind. That motion had in its rapidity something inspiring and triumphant. In a few minutes she saw, close by her. a light shine from what she believed to be her cousin's house. Almost at the same instant the gravel of the road was scattered by scratching feet, and then she heard the deep bay of welcome from Max's throat. Her pulses gave a bound "Thank Heaven!" came unconsciously from her lips. Here w as her ally, and without her having to lose a moment in tinding him. "Come, Max," she called, and wheeled her hone She could not see him, but she beard him cantering along abreast of her as she rle, aiui the sound gave her courage, she. must trust all to her pony aud dog, for no human

instinct could guide her in such a time as this. Leaning over from her saddle, she spoke to Max, who was nosing around among the Hubble. Then she drewout the silk handkerchief from her pocket; it was her mother's; she had only taken it from her that morning. The dog smelled of it. "Find her." cried Elsie, and there was a pathetic entreaty in the command. Max simile" again, then gave a quick bark as if asking a question. "Ishc is lost here on the marshes. Oh, Max, I bballdieif we do not lind her!" The dog's instincts had been sharpened by training, and he would show HOW of what he was made He started ort' Elsie heard him rustling in the brown grass She felt the pony Quivering under ner; he t09 Was getting excited. Far away on his native Texan plains he had hunted many a day, and the baying of dogs and the crack of rides were inspirations to him. "Oo!" said Elsie, not thinking of her own safety, remembering nothing bat that her mother, who was so far from being strong, was en this desert, buUeted by this merciless storm, vainly trying to get on, as one in a nightmare struggles to find the right way Thimble leaped across the narrow ditch that separated the marsh from the road, and the next moment Elsie felt as if she were Hying through unlighted space, the salt air cutting her face and thrashing her wet, unfastened hair about her. She dared not think of her mother; she must banish from her mind every memory of that tenderness which made her mother so dear to her. Was it yesterday that she had sung with such a care-free heart, "The blinding mist came down and hid the land?" The words went like a knife. "Ob, mother! mother!", she moaned aloud. Farther off Max barked, and Thimble made Idbger leaps, splashing in pools of salt water, the sharp, still grass cutting his legs, his chest wet with his own foam and with the chilly water. But he did Dot slacken nor pant, hardy, long-breathed fellow that he was. Was that the report of a gun, dulled, deadened by the dampness? The sound gave a new terror to Elsie; she did not think that it might be a signal. She knew that, earlier in the season, men prowled about for coots and geese, but why should they shoot at such a time as this? Such a shot might hit her mother; the girl never thought that it might hit herself as well. Far off she now heard Max barking frantically. "Thimble, go on," she shouted, and the brave little animal needed not to be told a second time. He dashed on like a wild thing, straight over sedge and pool, and Elsie's breath came heavily, for the wind that rushed by her face she still heard confusedly the sound of the dog's furious bark An exultant throb was tiow in Elsie's pulses. Already, in her mind, she had slipped from her seat and was holding her mother fast and close; a sob rose in her throat Not yet must she give way to such imaginings; yet longer she needed ner strength. Wild and high came the roar of the sea. Was Thimble moving? Would he never get to where Max barked in such a victorious note? Elsie rose in her stirrup, her fingers clinging around the pommel. "Mother! mother?" she called, "are you there?" "Is it you, Elsie?" responded a faint voice from out the mist, and there came the sound of some heart-felt thanks Trembling, and now at last panting, the pony made the little remaining distance between the daughter and mother. Just as Elsie slipped from the saddle another shot sounded, and this time close to them not the shot of a gun A prick, as of a needle going through her flesh, Elsie felt in her side, but forgot it instantly. She did not notice that the pony swerved oddly to one side as she withdrew her fwot from the stirrup She was groping in the fog for the owner of the soft voice that now called her again. "Dear El?ie! Ii is you who have found me!" Now her mother's arms held her, and Elsie could bear the choking in her breath, knowing that the work she had set out to do was done. In a moment she said, "I will put you on Thimble, and I will go by Iiis head; the dog knows the way home even if the pony does not. If you are only not ill after this! it you do not have pneumonia again! Here is Thimble, noblest fellow in the world! He shall have sugar and apples all his life. You don't know what a darling he has been. Oh!" The last word was uttered with such horrified shrillness that Mrs. Chapin started aud grasped her daughter's hand more closely. But before she could speak Elsie had flung away from her. and was down in the mud by the side of a white shape that lay on the ground. She gathered the lovely head into her arms; she felt again the soft dark: nose she had so ofted kissed. The iiony's breath Came distressfully; he was lying on his side. At that moment the fog was pierced by the rays of a lantern, aud steps were heard among the hedge. "Hullo, here! I say, I guess I've got you!" cried a man's voice. "Don't shoot any more or I'll use my own pistol!" Elsie heard, but she did not care to look up from the head she held, and which she could now see by the light of the lantern. Mrs. Chapin. without moving her eves from her daughter, asked, "For whom are you looking?" "That fellow accused of murder over there

ill Ncrley. Of course you've heard about him. We've tracked him all the afternoon, and got him to this horrid place. It was he that tired. I declare! lias he killed that little horse? Lucky he didn't hit anything else!" The barking of Max had by this time given notice to others on the marsh who were looking with ilr. Chapin for his wife. In another moment two more men with lanterns bad come, but Elsie neither saw nor heard them. She was sitting iu a pool ot water, the pony's head held last, but gently, tenderly in her arms, while her gaze was watching the li-ht go out of the briiliaat eyes that looked up at her. In the heaving, muddy side was an ugly bullet hole which dripped blood. It seemed to her that plainly the pony asked her to help him. Did be reproach her fi r the pain he was suffering? Did he toll her that he had done all, given all to her, and why did she not help him? Lbie felt her heart bound tightly with steel bands. She could not breathe. She saw the spirited eyes glaze, but their blinding gaze was still on her face. A shudder went over the shapely white form. Then Elsie knew there was no sight any more in the eyes. With a broken cry the girl bent her head down on the pony's neck. She did not know her mother' sjannlwasover her shoulders Presently stronger arms were put around her; her father had come, and he took her up Not until they had reached Dill Karter's which was thought to be the nearest house did they find there was blood on Elsie's dress. her own blood mingled with Thim ble's and then, on being asked, Elsie be came conscious that her side was sore. She had been stooping over in such a wav that the pame bullet that had killed Thimble had given a flesh-wound to his mistress, "Let it comfort yon to know that you saved your mother's life." the doctor said to the girl, after he had dressed her wound, and she was lying on her own bed. "She could not possibly have borne a long exposure. You did well to take the dog with yon." "Your father says," said Marion to her. a few days later, as she sat by the big chair where Elsie was reclining "Your father saya he is going to sell that Jersey cow, and get you another Texas pony from Mr. Nolan when ne comes North with another lot in the Spring." "No! no!" cried Elsie, with energy. "I never waist another pony. Theie was but one Thimble." Her voice broke, her eves filled. Marion bent ovrrnnd touched her cheek gently, not y;ug anything.

J v pon a Subject of Vital Interest, Effecting tlie Ytelfare of All. The following remarkable lottor tm of the leading and best known scientific writers of the present dav is sneciallv sig nificant, and should be ot unusual väli'.L to ull readers who deäiro to Lthe march of modern discoveries and events: A general demand for reformation is one o- Ihe most distinctive characteristics of the nineteenth century. The common people, as well as the mere enlightened and relined. cry out with no uncertain voice to be eman cipated from the slavery of conservatism and superstition which has held the masses in grois ignorance and superstition during a large portion of the world's history, and in the time of the "Dark Ages' came near obliterating the last glimmer of truth. Dogmatic assertions and blind empiricism are losing caste aiiiong all classes of all countries. i eopie are beginning to think for themselves. and to regard authority much less than ar gument. Men and women are no longer willing that a few individuals should dictate to them what must be their sentiments and opinions. They claim the right to solve tor themselves the great questions of the day and demand the general good of humanity shall be respected x As the result of this general awakening, we see. on every hand, unmistakable evidences of reformatory action. People who, a few years ago, endured suffering the most intense in the name of duty, now realize the utter foolishness of such a course. Men who were un der the bondage of bigoted advisers allowed their health to depart; suffered their constitutions to become undermined and tinallv died martyrs to a false system of treatment. There are millions of people filling untime ly grave who might have lived to a green old age had their original troubles been taken in time or properlv treated. There are thous ands of people to-day thoughtlessly enduring the first symptoms of some serious malady and without the slightest realization of the danger that is before them. Thev have occasional headaches; a lack of appetite one day and a ravenous one the next, or an un accountable feeling ot weariness. sometimes accompanied bv nausea, and attribute all these troubles to the old idea of 'a slijrht cold' or malaria. It is high time that people awoke to a knowledge of the seriousness of these matters and emanci pated themselves from tho professional bigotry which controls them. When this is done and when all classes of physicians become liberal enough to exclude all dogmas, save that it is their duty to cure diseases as quickly, and as safely as possible; to main tain no other position than that of truth honestly ascertained, and to indorse and recommend any remedy that has been found useful, no matter what its origin, there will be no more quarreling among the doctors, while there will be great rejoicing throughout tho world." "1 am well aware of the censure that will be meted out to me for writing this letter, but I feel that I can not be true to my honest convictions unless I extend a helping hand and indorse all that I know to be good. The extended publications for the past few years. and graphic descriptions of different diseases of the kidneys and liver have awakened the medical profession to the fact that these diseases are greatly Increasing. The treatment of the doctors has been largely experimental and manv of their patients have died while they were casting about for a remedy to cure theni." "It is now over two years since my attention was first called to the use of a most wonderful preparation in the treatment of ISright's disease of the kidneys. Patients had frequently asked me about the remedy, and 1 bad heard of remarkable cures effected by it, but like minv others I hesitated to re commend its use. A personal friend of mine had been in poor health for some time, and his application for insurance on bis life had been rejected on account of Bright' s disease. Chemical and microscopical examinations of his urine revealed the presence of largo quantities of albumeq and granular tube casts, which confirmed the correctness of the diajnosis. After trying all the usual remedies, I directed him to uso this preparation, and was greatly surprised to observe a decided im provement within a month, and within four months no tube casts could be discovered. At that time there was present only a trace of albumen, and he felt, as be expressed it, 'perfectly well,' and all through the influence of Warner's Safe Cure, the remedy he used." Atter this 1 prescribed this medicine in full doses in both acute and chronic nephritis (Bright's disease), and with the most satisfactory results. My observations were neither small in number nor hastily made. They extended over several months and em braced a large number of cases which have proved so satisfactory to my mind that I would earnestly urge upon my professional brethren the importance of giving a fair and patient trial to Warner's Sjafe Cure. In a larse class of ailments where the blood is obviously in an unhealthy state, especially where glandular engorgements ana inflammatory eruptions exist, indeed in many of those forms of chronic iddisposition in which there is no evidence of organic mischief, but where the general health is depleted, the face sallow, the urine colored, constituting the condition in which the patient is said tobe 'bilious,' the advantage gained by the U3e of this remedy is remarkable. In liright's disease it seems to act as a solvent of albumen ; to soothe and heal the inflamed membranes; to wash out the epithelial debris which blocks up the tubuli uriniferi, and to prevent a destructive metamorphosis of tissue." 'Belonging as I do to a branch of the profession that believes that no one school of medicine knows all the truth regarding tho treatment of disease, and being independent enough to select any remedy that will relieve my patients, without reference to the source from whence it comes, I am glad to acknowledge and commend the merits of this remedy thus frankly.

Senator Voorliees Thinks His Own State Will I'renent the Presidential Candidate. New York World. Oct. 1. Senator Daniel W. Voorhees. of Indiana, who has come to this city to argue a lawsuit in New Jersey was seen at the Clarendon Hotel yesterday by a World reporter. In answer to a question as to what he thought of the next Presidential election, he said: "I think that the people are fully convinced that the Republican party has been in fiower long enough to become very corrupt and that tiiey will insist on a change. Indeed. I am very sanguine that the Democrats will be victorious." "Who do you think will receive the nomination?" "Well. I am inclined to think that McDonald will be nominated, as he is a very strong man, honest, estimable and pare. Indiana will give him a solid support. Of course that is assuming that Mr. Tilden will not run, as if he did I think he would make a very formidable antagonist for the Indiana mau. I don't think that he will enter the field again. He should have been renominated in 1880, but now I am of the opinion that it is too late." "Are there any other persons who have a chance of being'noniiuated?" "Hancock is a very strong man, but there are any number of them who might be named." "Who do you think will be the Republican nominee?1' "Oh, Arthur, I think; and he will receive the support of the whole party." "Who is likely to be nominated for Vice President with 'McDonald?" "That is rather hard to predict, but it will very likely bo some Eastern man. Mr. Andrew Lungquist. Logansport, was entirely cured of Bad Stomach.

New Castle Democrat 1 Albert Gallatin Porter says if there is need of an extra session of the Legislature one will be called Then he goes on Vi say that the appropriation bill was held back in the' legislature by the Democrats last winter as a menace to him to ciinse him to send in his veto of the Metropolitan Police bill. That he was very busy, too busy to considerthc police bill without holding it to the last '. minute. Mr Porter evidently forgets that he had his veto message all ready and was going to send it in two days In-fore he did That in fact it was on the bulletin at the Indianapolis News office that he had sent it in, but he was prevented from doing so at the last moment by Senators Henry, Bundy, Graham and others, who were in the conspiracy with Lieutenant Governor Hanna to defeat the bill at all hazards. Covern or Torter forgets the revolutionary methods employed by the Lieuteuaut Governor and the Republican Senators to defeat the will of the majority in the last Legislature. He forgets that the appropriation bill did pass, and would be a law to day if the Lieutenant Governor had not iu violation of his oath, and contrary to all precedent, refused to sign it. Mr. Torter probably forgets all about it. But there is one tiling we will guarantee that he and Lieutenant Governor Hanna both do remember, and that is that they come out of that contest last winter with the marks of the brogans of the Democrats oil over their posteriors. Thev undertook to ride, over tho majority in the Legislature, and got trampled tinder foot There is no need of an extra session for the benevolent institutions, for there is a continuous appropriation as to them. There is no need for one as o the Judiciary, nor as to any Department of the State Government, However, they do ray that there is no- provision as to the contingent fund of the Governor out of which be paus the fellows who build fires for him and brush his clothes. This we admit Is sad. and probably ho ought to call an extra session. '

FRITZ'S DOG.

The Death of n St. Bernard by Which Mr. aud Mrs. Emmet Set Great Store. New York Sua. Mr. and Mr?. J. K. Emmt have lost their St. Bernaid dog. Bayard. He was reputed to be the handsomest animal of his kind in the State. He measured" seven and one-half feet from tip to tip. was thirty-four inches high, and weighed 175 oiinds. Mrs. Emmet first saw Bayard at the bench show in this city about two yean ago. He was then a year and a half old. He was valued at $5000 on the catalogue. She asked her husband to buy the dog He saw the ow ner and purchased the animal for "jJ.SOO. Mr. Emmet told the dog's history to the reporter last evening. "He was my wife's guardian and her constant attendant," he said "He became her friend and protector the very afternoon that I introduced him tO her in ny dressing room at the Grand Opera House. No one ever dared to come near her while Bayard was hy her side. Our family physician could not even feel her pulse without asking her 'o order Bayard to allow it. One night while I was playing in Cincinnati in "Fritz Among the Gypsies." my wife be came violently ill with "neuralgia. She lay down in the dressing room and moaned because of the pain. Bayard put his face against hers and howled in sympathy. I came in, and Bayard then toy down and dropped into a sleep. While he was sleeping I had my wife taken to her hotel. I then went on the stage. Presently I beard a perfectly agonizing howl, and Bayard came boundinir in on the sceue. The actors stood stock still with amazement, and there was not the faintest sign of a snigger in the audience. The dog looked wild. He ran around the stage and smelled each actor, including myself. Then be fastened his teeth in his own side, howled piteous!), and bounded off the stage again. The curtain was rung down. Bayard had scented out the circuitous route my wife had taken to get from the dressing room to - the stage exit When he reached the door he threw himself npainst it with all his force and nawed and yelped. I got my manager. Mr. Wilton, to take the dog to the hotel. He put the collar around Bayard's neck, and away they went. Presently Mr. Wilton came back, out of breath 'Did you take the dog to the hotel?' I asked. 'No,' said he, 'the dog took me.' " Mr. Emmet said that Bayard would restore umbrellas to their proper places, bring his mistress her shoes, and do everything ehe except talk the English language. The dtg was buried in Albany on Tuesday in Mr. Emmet's garden. A monument with a lifesi.e statue or Bayard will be erected over the grave with the inscription, "True dog, 1 love thee."

WE DO NOT CLAIM that Hood's Sarsaparilla will cure everything,' but the fact that on the purity and vitality of the blood depend the rigor and health ot the whole system, and that disease Of various kinds Is often only the 6ign that nature is trying to remove the disturbing cause, we are naturally led to the conclusion that a remedy that gives life and vigor to the blood, eradicates scrofula and other impurities from It, as Hood's Sarsaparilla. undoubtedly does, must be the means of preventing many diseases that would occur without Its use; hence the field of its usefulness Is quite an extended one, and we are warranted in recommendintr it for all derangements of the system which are caused by an unnatural state of the blood. Why Suffer with Salt-Rheum ? Messes. C. L IIood & Ca, Lowell, Mass. Gentlemen I was a great sufferer from Salt-Kheum on my limbs, for a dozen years previous to the summer of istc, at which time I was cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. The skin would become dry. chap, crack open, bleed and itch intensely, bo that I could not help scratching, w hich of course made them worse At the time I commenced taking Hood's Sarsaparilla (in the summer of 1876) they were so "bad that they discharged, and I was obliged to keen them bandaged with linen cloths. The skin was irawn so tight by the heat of Uie disease that if I stooped over they would crack open and actually bring tears into my eyes. The first bottle "benefited me so much that I continued taking it till I was cured I used one box of HoodTs Olive Ointment, to relieve the Itching.

A YOUNG MAX'S CASK. Mr. a S. Ilodgen. Jr., of No. 117 Pjrk 'eeet. Lewiston. Me., relates the follow ing personal narrative, May II, 1SSI: "About ß ft ecu months sines I had a severe attars of typhoid fever, and vai very lame, ana confiueu to my bed for eleven, weeks, and when the fever left me I was in a very debilitated condition. My back and loin feencl to have no strength, an 1 1 had no vitality or appetite. I tried various kinds oi medicine recommended by my friends, but found tht they did not improve my condition. Iwasinlucei to try Hunt's Remedy, which has beeu used with such gnat success here in Lewlston that it has a very enviable reputation of being a most reliable raeJlcinc. I turchase4 one bottle, aud caa date my improved health from the time I commeacel using it, and ray progress continued very rapidly; I gained In strength, aud experienced loss pain in my back, my appetite increased, and after using three (3) bottles my pains were all gone, an i my health entirely restored, and I can most heartily recommend Hunt's Remedy to any who may ueed a true remedy for debility, kidney or urinary troubles." A GOOD MECHANIC. Mr. L. J. Jones, of No. 10 Charles Street . Porllan 1 Ne., writes us these convincing facts. May 11. 1SS3. "I have for several years been troubled with liver complaint and indieestion, and have suffered at Uuits terrible dislre and have tried mauy di :Tereut cures, so-eallcd, that have been recomnen del Irom time to time. I one day noticed iu one of our papers the testimony of a person who had used Hunt's Kemedy aud been cured of diseases similar to mine. I purchased a bottle of one of our drug stores in Portlaud. aud before I had used the first bottle found that I was improving beyond ray expectation: have used in all six bottles, and I have no trouble from indieestion, no distress or palnin back as I formerly had; aud since I have been cured my wife has used it for kidney trouble, and thasenredhcr. We can both Fay that Hunt's Remedy is a blessing to any that are troubled with kidney or liver diseases, or indigestion. We gladly recommend it to our fiiends or to any sufferers from liver or kidney diseases, and you can use this letter as your may choose for the best interests of sufferinc humanity."
