A Powerful Indorsement.

Many years ago there was considerable illness in Harrisburg, which was attributed to the waters of the Susquehanna river, then the source of the city supply. One of the members of the legislature for that year, upon his return to his constituents, was Inter-, viewed concerning the plague. He soon settled the question. “Upon my soul, gentlemen,” he declared, “the report of the foulness of the water was a elan dor on the city of Ha rrisburg. I absolutely know the water to be perfectly healthful, for during the session I drank the water on two different occasions, and I never experienced any 111 effect whatever.” —Pittsburg Press.
