By an immense praectice, extending through/ ‘period of years, having within that time treata’ many thousand cases of those diseases peculiz to woman, I have been enabled to perfect. a most potent and agreeable medicine that meets :the indications presented by that class of diseases with positive certainty and exactness. To designate this natural specifie compound, I have named it - : . y v . 3 . .. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. - The term, however, is.but a feeble expression of my high nppreciat{on of its value, based upon Ny own ‘)crsonul observation. As a close ob=server, I have, while witnessing its Fositi\\e results in the few special diseases incidént to the | scparate organism of woman, singled it out as the climax or crowning gem of my ’nedlcal caroer. On its merits, as a posiive, safe, and eftectual remedy for this class ° of discases, and one that will, at all times and : under all circumstances, act kintlly and in harmony with the, laws whieh govern the female “system, I am willing.to-stake my reputation asa physician.. Nay, even more, so confident am I * that it will not disa‘{)point the most sanguine - | expectations of a single invalid lady who uses it

. - - . - From a Distinguished Physician. NO; sln@ﬂh digease has entailed more suffering or ‘AN hastened the breakh;g up of the constitution than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of taste, of sight, of hearing; the human voice, the mind,one or more and sometimes all yield to its destructive influence. The poison-t distributes throughont the system atacks every vital force, and breaks up the most robust of constitutione. fgnored beennse but little understood by mustphysicians, impo,!eml{ assuiled by quacks and charlatans, those suffer nﬁ from it have little_hope to be relieved of it this side of the grave. It is time, then, thatthe popunlar treatment of this terrible disease By remedies within the reach of all passed ito hands at once éompetent and trnstworchg. The new and hitherto untried method adopted by Dr. Sanford in the preparation ofhls RADIOAL CURE has won my henrt( ugproval. I believe it likely to succeed when all the usnal remedies fall, becaunse it stri%es at theroot of the disease, viz., the (rc(dﬂﬂed blood, while it heals the ulcerated niembrane by directapplication to the nasal pas?{ages. ‘Hsaction is based on certain fixed rules, and unless the vital farces are too far exhausted, muss, in the great majority of cases, effect 8 cure. o s GEN.

) THE GRUMBLER’S CURE. . “The old story—the coffee cold, fire ‘nearly out and the room full of sti[ﬂing smoke.” ; ; o i - Mr. Grumbler drew his chair up to ‘the breakfast table as he spoke with she face of a martyr. 9 ~ “The coffee is only just made, dear,” said Mrs. Grumbler, a pretty, timidlooking woman, with soft blue eyes, ‘and brown braids, “and I do n’t think the room is very cold. As for the smoke, I am sorry, but the man promised to have the chimney seen to yesterday.” “Of course he did, nobody ever keeps promises to us,” groaned Mr." Grumbler. “If it had been Smith, now, the chimney would have been seen to long ago. Do give me a piece of the steak that is at'least warmed through. We are not cannibals that I know of, to eat our meat raw. But that’s always the way—we never had a cook that nndareiood homsaddanitons [ Stoak.” ; i | i

- “Bat, my ﬁear,” g’aid Mrs,Grumbgz L “Don’t tell me,” uﬂemytedg r. .Grumll}le_r,’ “I"know just how t lings ought to be done. - The paper hasn’t come yet, I suppose? No, of course not. I really wish somebody would enlighten me as to why my paper is always half an hour later than anybody else’s. If that baby don’t leave off its crying, I shall certainly go crazy. | i ! Lo “Its teeth 'trouble it,” sighed Mrs. Grumbler, leaving the breakfast table to walk up and down the room with her fretful little charge. ) “Oh, nonsense!” said Mr. Grumbler, sharply, charging at a slice of toast with his fork; “you coddle it too much, that’s all.” Mrs. Gruibler@hought of the general commotion into which the house had been thrown about a mouth previouslv, when Mr. Grumbler had the toothache. But she nestled the bady’s head against her shoulder, and said nothing—woman’s way of disposing of a greal many liftle martyrdoms. - “Now, then, where’s my hat?” demanded Mr. Grumbler, rising and look-. ing around. “Very singular that hat is never in its place.” “It is just where you hung it yourself, papa, in the hall,” said little Harry, from behiud his spelling book. ~ “Children:should n’t talk so much,” said Mr. Grumbler, tartily. “My dear, that rent in the lining of my top coat is not mended yet; why did you not see to1t?” : - “I intended to'do sO,” said the wife, apologetically, “but you know we had company last night, and the baby slept so badly that I rose rather later than usual this morning, but—"’ G “Always some excuse,” interrupted her liege lord. “I really don’t understand the reason that nething is ever done in time in this house.” : He gave the front door rather an emphatic slam as he went out, and little Mrs. Grumbler, instead of rebelling against her husband’s iron rule, just sat down erying. - Oh! those comforting tears; how many grievances float into oblivion upon their blessed tide; how many hBart wounds are healed by their balmy drops. Woman may lose their privileges, one by one, but as long as she can cry, there is'some consolation remaining to her. Mr. Grumbler wasn’t by any means a'bad husband. He really loved his wife, and believed himself to be a pat"tern of conjugal amiability; only he had, somehow or other, falléninto the "habit of fault-finding; and, like many other individuals, wheneve: he could not find anything else to do he grumbled. Lerd ’ a “Crying ‘again, Bessie!” exclaimed her brother, coming in an hour ortwo later. “Now, that’s too bad. I sup-~ pose Henry has been treating you to another domestic growl? I've agreat mind to tell him now how uncomfortable you are made by his little eccenfricities. Shall 1, Bessie ?” “No, no; I wouldn’t have you breathe a syllable to him for the world!” eagerly ‘exclaimed Mrs. Grumbler, hurriedly drying her tears. “He has the kindest heart in the world, and I know he loves me.” “l dare-say he does,” says young Mr. Carlton, “but why is he freting and fault-finding hour after hour? I think it is an oversight in our laws that there is not one to punish married men who scold.” d What was Grumbler’s surprise, on coming home that evening, fully primed for a tirade on ‘the subject of a button which had drifted from his shirt front during the day, to find his especially easy chair, and corner of the fire, occupied by an asthmatic old man, | whose head and face were enveloped in a silk handkerchief, and whose feet were in a tub of hot water. He stopped short in amaz&ement and horror. “Thislis Unecle" Tomgpkins, Harry)”’ said Mrs. Grumbler, who was busy warming a basin of gruel over the fire, and the gentleman extended one finger, ~without turning his head, and said in a cracked voice:. = . R “I wish, nephew, you would shut' the door.: Nobody thinks of shutting a door /in this house! What’s that noise up stairs ? I beg, niece, that your: baby won’t cry the whole time I am’ here. Is tea ready?

Her husband pricked up his ears, a little uneasy. : , “Accustomed to-it—” What did she mean? It was not possible—it could not be possible—that he was like that odious;,,.ol(zl Uncle Tompkins. And yet he wished that Bessie hadn’t spoken that way. It made him feel very uneasy. i Day after day passed away, Uncle Tompkins growing more and more intolerable the. whole time, while Mr. Grumbler improved the occasion by making a sort of mental looking-glass ' of that worthy old gentleman. = *“Upon—my—word,” said he to himself, “I must have been a perfect nuisance all these years.

Obsérvations on Church Amusements, MRr. Eprror:—l have heard the -question agitated considerable in regard to Christmas trees and other ‘amusements in churches, as to ‘whether they were right or not, and I have had the question propounded to myself what I thought of those things. By your permission I will try and answer the question through your noble paper, THE BANNER. And'l will say in the first place, that what is not of God is sin, and the -next question, Are those things of God or are they of the world? And again, Does God approve ‘of such things as Christmas- trees, oyster ‘suppers, and strawberry: festivals in the house that has béen built and dedicated to” God ? I will answer the question by saying Tthat God does mot approve oF ansuch,

'things as these, gnd‘i‘;yilti tryand'profeq it. lln the first place I will say we can’t worship God and the Devil at 'the same time. Let us see what the Son of God says in the 15th chapter of St. John, 7th and Bth verses: | “Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, this people draw- | -eth nigh unto me with their mouths, and honoreth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.” - i And in the 9th verse he says: : “But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” P Let us look in the 2d chapter of St. John and part of the 16th and 17th ~verses, and see what Jesus says about those things: . o “Make not my father’s house a house of merchandise.” And His disciples remembered that it was written, , j “The zeal of thine house hath eaten mea up.” And now let us see what the Lord says. In St. Luke 19:46 it is written: ‘ “My house is the house of prayer; ’ but ye have made it a den ot thieves.” ~ And in the 11th chapter of St. Mark and 17th verse: ‘ : “And he taught, saying unto them, is it not written, mny house shall be called of all -nations the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.” ’ e Thinking these are proofs enough, let, me say in the language of St. Peter: “Repent therefore of this thy wick- . edness, and pray God,if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee, for I perceive that thou art in the bond of iniquity.” I coula cite a great many more proofs if necessary, but let those suffice for the present. And now, Mr. Editor and friendly readers' of THE .BANNER, allow your humble servant to offer a few thoughts on the subject under consideration; but before I of“fer anything of my own I hope the readers of this will keep in mind what Jesus says concerning those things or the house of God. I will begin by asking a question or questions. Mr. Editor, what do you suppose the result would have been had the Apostles made an oyster supper in the temple at Jerusalem and bid Jesus to the feast? Or, suppose that the same Apostles had erected a Christmas tree ‘in the temple and had that tree laden with all manner of little trinkets, such as tobaceo, clay pipes, candy, doll babies, dress patterns, hobby horses, and all this kind of things, and then invited the Savior to preside over the affair. Here, Brother John, here is a ‘smoke pipe for you; and heref, Peter, is some tobacco foryou;and here, Brother James, here is a hobby horse for you; and here, Mary, is a new dress for you; and here, Martha, is a geld ring for you; and so on. Well, one may say Christ is not here. True, He is not here in person as He was then | in the flesh; but if the Savier would not engage in 'such things neither ought His followers. But some will say perhaps this is charity; it is done for the benefit ot the poor. Well, if it is, the Scriptures teaches me that ‘when we do alms not tosound a trum- - pet as the hypocrites do, but we shall ‘not let our left hand know what the right one doeth. And again, wpere our heart is there will our treasure be also. - OBSERVER. o § T —— - : Mar’s Moons. w When the telegraph announced the ~discovery by Prof, Hall that our neighboring planet had satellites, and the dispatch was read the next morning at ten thousand American breakfast tables, what think you was the effect upon the hearers?

Congressman Hanna’s: Plain Talk on e |: Finance. : ‘ GREENCASTLE, Ind., Jan. 6th.—On last evening a large number of Hon. - John Hanna’s fellow-townsmen of both political parties assembled at the court house to hear his views on the living issues of the hour and an account of his brief stewardship in Congress. Mr. Hanna proceeded in his usual vehement manner to express his -views on the financial measures pending in Congress. He showed that the steady - appreciation of greénbacks since 1865 has been caused by the industry and prosperity of the people ° and not by legislation. He denounced forced resumption as unjust, impoli- - tic and impracticable; that the enactwent of the resumption law had disturbed and greatly injured the business interests of the country, and that to its existence on the statute is attributable the financial distress and bankruptecy which is blighting, blasting and destroying the prosperity of = .the people.: - He said that the demone=

Mmenf. silyer was a fraud upon: tlzat?l. S ey u‘t‘: "l}_f-';! hahd‘ag-‘hiﬁét it TemonevlZation 18 : -guilty of a species of scoundrelism;” ‘that the silver dollar of 4121¢ grains standard silver, if restored and made -a legal-tender, .would be worth as much as a gold dollar, that then the bondholder would be the last. man to say it was not worth a dollar. ‘He said further that it was the taking away of the legal-tender quality of silver which had enabled those who ‘were seeking to “rob the debtor,” to “slander and hound. it down by the aid of a:subsidized press.” and that there had:been no real depreciation of its value. In speaking of the United. States bonds' he said that they shoald be paid aceording to the letter of the contract; that the 5 20s were made payable in any lawful money, and might have been paid in legal-tender-‘notes; that the others are payable in coin,and that the holders have nofight ‘to demand payment in gold only, He ‘acknowledged that national legislation for years had discriminated'in favor of the ereditor class; that, as a result, good and true men are being daily “ruined throughout the land; that “he who strikes down a good business man in a community is a robber of that community.” He said the re--publican party came into power by advocating principles that were near the people, but of late the interests of the masses had not been considered, ‘and that the people had been betrayed by their representatives. In‘short, -Mr. Hanna’s speech was a bitter castigation of the financial policy of his; party, and was hugely enjoyed by Democrats. He was frequently applauded. e 4 ’ 5 ettt} <O BRE— e S _ .The Sentiment of the Great West. * Chicago Post. - 7 “-A few unimportant newspapers in the West combat the remonetization of silver, and assert that the majority of the people do not want that metal restored to its formver legality as money. Mr. Wendell Phillips tells a different story. Ie says that duringhis late tour he lectuwag over fort;%v‘_fmg;’,}es, traveling as far West as Omaha, anathat *“the wish to have silver remonetized is as nearly unanimous /as any political question ever is. I found _more than nineteen men out of twenty in favor of that idea.” Again, after remarking that the South is a unit. on this question and can, by the aid of the West, carry the measureagainst. any Presidential yeto, he says, “The . West is so much in earnest that, un-. 185 gratified by some concession on “that point, they would seem likely to -smash either or both parties.” Now “Mr. Phillips is not that sort of :a man who misstates facts which he has calmly studied; and in this manner he ¢onveys to the East a dispassionate account of public feeling in this section of the Union, and so answers the statements of newspapers conducted in the interests of the creditor class. ‘As he says, also, the people are in earn‘est in this matter. Perhaps Congressman 'B]ar?}i was not badly out of his reckoning when he made his Bismarckian reply fo the delegation of New York bankers. We shall see. .

So wild and reckless have the bogus news mongers become that today reports were current on the street “that two or three of the staunchest of Chicago’s jobbing houses liad suspend- | ed or would suspend, and that one of - _the heaviest of New York firms was on the verge of bankruptey. The rumors were: followed up, and not one authenticating fact was discovered,— ‘These efforts to break down ecredit _ are doubtless put forth by financial wreckers, who hope thus to b%ar .the prices of real estate, produce and provisions, and to' make a handsome speculation out of the results of their crime: Public sentiment is becoming ‘aroused on the subject, and summary punishment will be meted out to the mongers of false reports, should they be discovered, without the interven-. tion or delay of the law.
