ANOTHER INVESTIGATION. A Special Grand Jury lak s Up the Cronin l a e. i Another extensive investigation of the murder of Dr. Cronin at Chicago has been begun by a special Grand Jury. At a pieliminary conference lutw^en the State's Attorney and the grand jurors it was determined to make the inquiry a wide one; to hear, in the secrecy of the grand jury room, the testimony of a few witnesses heretofore held in reserve by the State, and to direct the search not so much against Alexander Sullivan, Coughlin, Woodruff, and P. O’Sullivan as against five or six other men. the friends of Alexander Sullivan and members of Camp 20 of the United Brotherhood. The jury will take at least a week to perform its duty. The testimony will of necessity overlap that brought out by the Coroner, but it is inti nded to utilize a considerable part of the stenographic report of proceedings of .the inquest instead of orally examining the witnesses. A TOWN IN ASHES. Forty-three Buildings Burned at Grinnell, lowa. A dispatch from Grinnell, lowa, says. “A tire which was discovered in the cupola of F. S. Treat. & Co.’s grain elevator spread so rapidly that Brooklyn, Marshalltown and Newton were wired to rend aid. In less than an hour nearly every business building south of Fourth avenue and east of Main street was on fire. The goods saved were rapidly carried to the City Park and the militia was ordered to guard them. Efficient aid was furnished by the Grinnell, Brooklyn and Marshalltown fire companies. The estimated loss is $150,000, hardly half of which is covered by insurance ” BASE-BALL BATTERS. Standing of the Clubs That Are Contending for First P’w.

Over Seventy Lives Ldit by a Train Accident. Several cars loaded with excursionists, part of a train in which were 1,200 person -, chiefly Methodist Sunday-school children and their teachers and relatives, were wrecked near Armagh, Ireland, and seventy-two lives were lost. One-third of the others in the wrecked cars were hurt, and many of these will yet die. All of the bodies have been recovered, and sixty-four of the victims have been identified. Only about a dozen of thtm are children. The majority of the victims were about 20 years of age. LYNCH LAW IN INDIANA. Two Hundred Men aUt'orydon Execute Two Murderous ^Burglars.

To quiet the fears of those who expect Ihe outbreak of rome fearful epidemic the health authorities of Johnstown, Pa., have issued the following bulletin: The general condition of health in Johnstown and vicinity is excellent. No epidemic disease of any kind prevails, nor is it expected that any will arise. The whole region has been divided into convenient districts, and each placed under a competent sanitarian. The State Board of Health is prepared to meet all emergencies as they arise. The air is wholesome, and the water generally pure. If the good people of tho devastated district will go on as they have so nobly done for the last week in their efforts to clean up the wreckage, good health will certainly be maintained. George G. Gross. By a furious storm which pasted over Po t Leyden, N. Y., the steeple of the Catholic church was blown down. One house was picked up and carried about 100 feet, and an old gentleman and lady living therein injured. Trees and fences were overturned and crops destroyed in a wide territory. In Port] Leyden the buildings and sheds of the iron-works were totally demolished. At Phinney settlement, six miles from Port Leyden, Mr. and Mrs. Phinney were seriously injured. They were carried in their house about thirty feet, and were ' injured in trying to escape fiom the building in its progress. A special from l f’amden says that Mrs. Spain, who re- ’

sided in tho town of Florence, was killed : by her house falling upon her. Patrick Curley', Reese Lloyd, and Richard Williams, three miners in the Lehigh and Wilkesbane Coal Company, were instantly killed in the Nottingham mine at Plymouth, Pa., by a fall of coal and rock. The men wore engaged in eating their dinner at the time the accident occurred. Matthew Davis, another , miner, who went to their assistance, was also fatally injured. In the trial of William O. Howard, at New York, for defrauding tho stock- ’ hohbr-i of the defunct Electri’ Sugar Company of $6,500 under false pretenses tbe prosecution called three wholesale sugar dealers to the stand from whom the defendant and Professor Freuud purchased tho refined sugar which was used to blind tho stockholders as the sugar that had undergone the electric process These sugar dealers* testified to the purchase of the sugar by the defendant and the Professor. F. A. Gray, Postmaster at Herkimer, N. Y., has disappeared, leaving no trice behind. An examination of his accounts shows a deficiency of $2,250. It is feared that he has committed suicide. An active search is being made for the missing man, and a warrant has been sworn out for his arrest by the United States Postoffice Inspector. Near Meridan, N. H., Lucien Freeman killed his mother and a man named John Morgan wit’ an ax. Fr eman is a maniac, and had been considered dangerous. Three men jumped off a freight train on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, near Suter, Pa., just as an empty engine p issed in the other direction. Two were killed and one fatally injured.

Mrs. Langtry' will continue arother week at McVicker’s Theater, Chicago, without change of bill, “Esther Sandraz” having proved profitable and successful. At the end of Mrs. Langtry’s engagement, MeVieker’s will be closed for a week, pending preparations and lehiursals of “Ti e Tempest.” The Chicago police have arrested a man who is employed in McGuiness’ icehouse, in Lake View. He is not wanted for complicity in the Cronin murder, so far as the police know, but he is wanted as a witness in the case, as it is supposed he c n tell a good story about P. O. Sullivan and the men who rented the Carlson cottage. The man, for weeks before and after Dr. Cionin was murdered, loafed aiound Sullivan s hduse and barn, and it is claimed he was seen on several occasions talking with the men in the cotta ~e. The police refuse to divulge the prisonei ’s name. At St. Louis the Iron Mountain passen- , ger train was rounding the last curve before reaching the Union Depot when the engine jumped the tra k and dashed into an adjoining building, doing considerable damage and instantly killing John Gebhard, aged 27, of St. Louis.

Harper, who is in the penitentiary for wrecking tbe Fidelity National Bank, is being extensively signed by merchants and bankers of Cincinnati on his wife's theory that he can in a couple of years pay evt rything and ledeem himself. It just transpires that Emma Bond, : the pretty school teacher, whose terrible sufferings at the hands of villains at Tay- ’ lorville, 111., in the summer of 1882, aroused the indignation of the whole country, is a married woman, and has been for several months the wife of C.E. Justus, a young wool merchant of Hepler, Kan. The fact was accidentally discovered by । some relatives of the young lady through a misplaced letter. It appears that in 1 1887 Miss Bond visited frienas at Hepler. Kan., lecame acquain'ed with Justus, and the friendship soon ripened into love. In Oc'ober last they came to St. Louis and were quietly married. For reasons of their own they decided to keep the affiir a secret, but now that the truth has leaked out they have begun living ! together. Six prominent railroads were fined SIOO each by Chairman Abbott, at Chicago, ■ under the new agreement, for violation of the clause relating to advertising. The funeral of Leonard Swett took > place at the Third Presbyterian C Lurch, Chicago. Dr. Withrow and Dr. Thomas I conducted the services, and the church was thronged with mourners.

Scanlan, of Chicago, Dr. Cronin’s most intimate friend, has ' recently made several visits to Pres dent i Harrison, and it is said the recall is to : give Mr. Egan a chance to testify in the > Cronin case. ; The President will leave Washington : the latter part of this month for Deer । Park. Md., where a cottage has been prepared for his reception. Tbe length of his visit has not been settled. Mrs. Harrison and her grandchild)en will leave Washington the latter part of tbe present week for Cape May, where they will remaih until the President is read)’ to go to Deer Park. The President will make one or more short visits to Cape Maj' during Mrs. Harrison's sojourn there. INDUSTRIAL ITEMS. Carnegie, Phipps A- Co., who have demanded a reduction of from 25 to 33J | i per cent, in the wages of the 2,530 men ; employed at their Homestead, Pa., steel- ! ; works, have given notice that all xvbo 1 did not sign tho scale could consider

themselves discharged, the discharge to take effect on July 1. Until the latter , date the old wages will be paid. But | few of the men have signed. A big strike is expected. FRESH AND NEWSY. The Rev. Charles Hudson, who mysteriously disappeared from Dorchester, I Mass., April 9, has been found in San ■ I rancisco in a demented condition. The Chicago Tribune’s review of the i crop situation stuns up the outlook in this J i way: I U here cannot be much said either cue way or । ; the other aliout tlie spring wheat crop more ! , tlian this: that so far the country has not re- ! c.ived any intelligence of “a 99,000,00)" crop, | which is generally looked for just after the I wheat is seeded and before it shows a single spear out of the ground. As to winter wheat, | everything depends now on the weather of the : next thirty days. The prospects are pointing to a wet harvest. Drouth and Hessian ily are not showing their work early in the sett- | son. Harvest will be no earlier than usual, and p rhaps a little lat r. It will not be general I much before the 20th of June. An excellent stand of corn has been cultivated once. Fields that are clean need no more ruin for twenty I days at least, and upon the advent of warm i weather ought to make rapid growth. Tho low price of corn is causing farmers Lo hold buck their surplus. Several lives were lost aud property was greatly damaged by a recent storm which prevailed throughout New England. Mrs. Anna Quirk, of Holyoke, Mass., was struck by lightning and instai>tly killed. At Belknap Fred Pierc?. a grocery clerk, was fatally injured by a bolt and Policeman Stevens was knocked down in the street and is not expected to live. At several places houses xvete struck and the occupants slightly shocked. . The arrest is announced of Ulric Dulace, chief of a band of outlaws, who has I een a terror to the towns and villages on 1 the Ma ne-Canadian border. The Canadian extradition bill will probably be ratified by the Imperial Government. Law officers consider it retroactive, but it is said the Dominion Executive will not enforce it in this respect. R. G. Di n A Co.’s weekly review of trade says: The flood disasters have entirely change 1 the situation in tho Eastern lumber trade, the coal, ir, 11 and steel trades Producing eompnnios of th fi s importance have suddenly ceased op- , eruthns. and their orders must be filled by | others or delayed. Tho flood ng of manv coiil mines cuts on supplies of fuel for many ihantifae<uiin,< works, and the stoppage of the Cum- । briu mills and furnaces, which produced yearly over 3J0,00> tons of iron in vaiious forms, will affect the trade for some time. The destru Niou 1 of more than forty bridges, al out half of them ' on tho Pennsylvania Railroad, besides manv I locomotives, cars and miles of tra k, creates a 1 sudden demand which is felt in all iron and I steel markets. Pig iron does not change as yet, the production previous to tho disaster having boon much in oxcohs of consumption. In anthracite coal the tone is stronger. Ahmy soft coalmines are cut off for the present. Wheat and oil have been lower, but in other speculative markets the general tendency has been toward higher prices. Coll<e is u quarter stronger. Sugar has been advanced a quarter, anil the statistical position is considered strong. Some grsdes of leather art a little stronger. Reports from the interior show a fair volume of trade in progress, except where disasters have interrupted it. Uolliadions are backward at Mil waukee and lint moderate nt New Orleans. The money markets are well supplied and easy, with active demand at Cleveland and Detrois. The business failures number 225, as compn.vd with 215 last week and 22'3 the week previous. For the corresponding period of last year tiro failures were 235. THE CHOSEN FEW. President Harrison Makes Known Ills Choice for Varlont Offices.

LEONARD SWETT DEAD. THE EMINENT ATTORNEY SUDDENLY EXPIRES. The Friend of Abraham Lincoln Stricken Down with an Attack of Kidney Disease from Which lit' Never Rallies A Notable Career Closed. The death of Lecnar.l Swett, a Chicago lawyer, which occurred on the Bth inst., removes from tho ranks of Chicago’s | prominent citizens one who was closely j ideutitied wt;h stirring national events. । The bar of Illinois is also robbed of one of its ablest meiub: rs and brightest ornaments. Mr. Swett had been ailing for a couple of years past, but not until within a month

LEONARD SWEIT.

I or two ha I his health I given serio is cause for anx'ety. He was out driving on Thurs- । day last, and went for | a short walk 1 riday , aft rnoon. Ea r1 y ’ J Saturday morning he was attacked with diabetic coma and re t ained partially unconsious until hist d?ath. Just beforoi his last conscious in- ’ terval his son, Leonard Herbert Swett,

arrived home from Cornell university and was recognized by his father. Drs. | Lyman, Johnson, Davies and Westcott i were in attendance during the last h urs but their services were unavailing. | Leonard Swett was born in Oxford county, Maine, in 1825, his father being a farm r. He was educated at North Yar- , mouth academy and AVaterville college. i He studied law with Howard & Shipley, । Portland, Me., and went South, intending |to practice. Tho Mexican war was then raging. Young Swett enlisted in the Fifty-seventh Indiana regiment as a private and went to Mexico. He was taken ill at A era Cruz, an I was brought to New Or- i leans on a vessel filled with sick soldiers. Alter much suffering and deprivation he started for his home in Maine, but was . again taken ili at Peoria, 111. His physi- | cian advised him to go back from the river. in July, 1848, ho arrived at Bloomington, TH., which was his home tnereaftor until his removal to Chicago. । He began to practice law in Bloomington in 1849, and was on tho same circuit . with Abral/ im Lincoln, Stephen T. Logan, and other prominent lawyers. He also ( took an active [art in politics, and joined ; in the formation of the Republican party. | History will probably accord to Air. Swett ! the major share in the combination of political in'luences which led to the nomination of Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency, Ho was a guiding hand in the convention that mule the nomination. After Lincoln’s election Mr. Swett went to AV ashington to urge the nomination of Judge David Davis to the Supreme court bench. He was in AV ashington during most of the war, and held intimate and confidential relations with the President. Mr. Swett held no office under the Government, al- I though valuable foreign missions xvere offe e 1 to him. He accepted however, so eral delicate and important missions in this country of a confidential nature In 18*i5 Air Swett removed to ( bica o, . having formed a law partnership with | Judge Ann 11. Higgins and Col. David I Quigg, and soon assumed a leadership at j the local bar. Among the prominent eases with which Air. Swett was identifl "! were th? Sullivan murder trial, the Jo' Mackin case, the celebrated insurance conspiracy cases, and many noted civil suits lie l>ecamo identified with the defense of the Anarchists n t r their ease >vas carried to 1 the United States Supremo court. Air. Swett was married twice. His first, | wi e was Aliss Laura R. Quigg, a sister of ’ his former law partner. She died in I'B 5, ; and in 1887 Air. Spelt manied Miss Marie , Decker, who was his eoufidential secretary for n any years SENATOR SABIN DIVORUED. nt ropular Auiikoil of Habitual | l>ru nkeri ne**. S n.i.WATKK, Minn t June 10.—Dwight M.

step as a last possible resort. | Several months ago he served notice on several firms in St. Paul, Stillwater, and [ Washington that he would pay no debts of her contracting. It is asserte I that Mr.-. Sabin had for some time prior to her marriage been an invalid, ami during that time became ad acted to the use of morphine. The habit, it is i . imed, has been indulged in to a greater or less extent ever since, and in later years she has added to it the use of intoxicating liquors. It is stated that during the absence from home of Mr. Sabin she oe asionally indulged in liquors and drugs to excess. At the close of Mr. Sabin’s Senatorial career, Mrs. Sabin was placed at her own i equest in the asylum for inebriates at Flushing, R. 1., where she is at present and in utter ignoran e, it is asserted by her friends, of the scandals which are going the rounds of the press. CON 1) IHONOFGR AIN CHOPS. The Prospect for Wheat, Coin, and Oats in the Western States. Chicago, June 10.—The following crop report will appear in this week’s issue of i the Farmers’ Review: i The latest reports from our crop correspondents show no improvement in the con- ; dition of winter wheat. Kansas maintains , the high average of two weeks ago ml ' Ohio and KentucKy a correspondingly low one, the condition of these States remain- I ing about the same from week to week. In Illinois mid Michigan there has been a ’ slight decline and in Indiana a falling oT of about 10 per cent. The condition of spring w heat is comparatively unchange I in Nebraska, lowa, and Minnesota, but has improved in Dakota about 5 per cent and declined in Illinois about 8 per cent. The condition of the oat crop has improved ' slightly in lowa and Missouri and ccnsid- ' erahly i i Indiana. In Illinois it has de- ’ I dined a few points, while in Ohio, Michi ■ I gan, Minne ota, and Dakota it averages 1 1 about 8 per cent lower. In other States it j is practically unchanged. Corn promiseswell in Kansas. Kentucky, ' lowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Dakota, particularly in the three I tates last named.

Kissing Hie Duchess. That a kiss has been of importance in history wo all know, and that women’s kisses have made and unmade kingdoms, says the Louisville CourierJournal. The most famous of kisses always seemed to me that one, or that । many, given by the Duchess of Gordon j when she recruited an entire regiment, | (he Gordon Highlanders, better known I as the Ninety-second, by having each man take the “ Queen’s shilling ” from lietween her teeth, so that he had, if he Avanted, a good opportunity to kiss her. It is almost unnecessary to say that the gallant laddies who fought so xvell at Waterloo did not resist the charm of a lovely woman’s mouth. However, remember the kiss in vogue aud just remember this, too: “You will find, my dear boy, Unit the dearly prized kiss, Whicnwitli rapture you snatched from tho halfwilling miss, Is sweeter by far than the legalized kisses You give the same girl when you've made her a Airs." This is slangy, but it’s the sad, sad truth. An Indolent Organ. When the liver is indolent, as it must necessarily bo when it fails to secrete tho bile in sufficient quantities to meet the requirements of digestion aud evacuation, it should be set at work । with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Tho healthful stimulus to activity imparted by this incomparable alterative, speedily evinces itself in a । departure of the uncomfortable sensations in the fight side; the nausea; fur upon tho tongue; indigestion, and sick headache consequent upon inactivity of tho liver and tho diversion of tho bile from its proper channel. Irregularity of the bowels is always and painlessly reformed by tho corrective indicated, which is infinitely to be preferred, both because it is safe and more efficacious, to blue pill, calomel, and drenching purgatives of every class. It cures and prevents fever and ague, and rheumatism. Simple Dress. In the matter of dress, the habits of both ladies aud gentlemen are more quiet aud less pretentious than fifty years ago. Men’s business suits are on a pattern brought dow n to abso- । lute economy in expense aud fitness for work. Nor are dress suits characterized by any of the superfluities of the last century. Clergymen have given up not only the wigs and bands and cocked hats ‘of a hundred years ago, but the tall hats, the invariable black and w hite tie of fifty years ago. The judges no longer wear scarlet, faced with velvet. Wigs, stocks, powders, pomatums, are less and less important. A gentleman of 1800, when he went abroad, must appear in satin embroidered vest, a xvig and satin small clothes with white silk stockings. Culture does not lead in the direction of elaborate adornment of the person. Happy Homes. Here’s a health to the wives and tho mothers I Who sit in our households to-day ; Who are glad when they brighten for others The hours that go drifting away. May their eyes keep the light of the gladness, ' 1 heir hearts hold the fullness of bliss , That banishes shadows and sadness And what need we ask more than this.? But how cun this happiness bo kept? , What shall protect vhoso wo love—those ' who make a heaven of the home—from the ravaq;os of disease that isolten worse than death -that is. iu faet. a lingering death? The question is easily answered; Dr. I’leree's Favorit« Prescription—the standard remedy ( for all of those peculiar disoases to which . women are subject—is what must be relied | ou to preserve tho ho ilth of wives and | mothers. It inerents those diseases, and it ' cures them. It is a blessing to women, I amt there'ore a national blessing, because it gives health to those about whom tno I happiness of home centers, and the strength ( of a nation is in its happy homes. j Dr. Pierce's Pei.lets, or Auti-bilious I Granules; in vials, 25 cents; one a dose. A Victim to ( iiility. A good smuggling story comes from the Belgian frontier. A newly married couple were retmniug to Germany after a tour to Brussels. As the train | approached the frontier the bride grew uneasy, and presently coafessed that she had a quantity of finest Brussels | lace in her bag on w hich a high duty | would have io be paid. “Put it inside I your hat," she pleaded. This was done. । The custom-house officials looked ! through the boxes of the elegant young i lady, knowing by experience that such ; are the most daring of smugglers, but i found nothing. The chief officer, charm- | ed by the amiable manners of the husband, accompanied the couple to the ' train, when the wretched husband, forgetting his secret in the joy of having escaped, raised his hat to the officer, and was instantly enveloped in a roft w hite vtil.

The prisoner’s counsel asked for a mitigation of the sentence on the ground that the prisoner's health was very poor. “Your Honor,” said he, “I am satisfied that my client cannot live . out half that term, and I beg of you to change the sentence.” “Well, under l those circumstances,” said tho Judge, .“I xvill change the sentence. I will make it for life instead of seven years.” । The prisoner chose to abide by the original sentence, w hich the Judge per- । mitted him to elect. The Hostetter Stomach Bitters People Score Another Point. In the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of Now Y'ork, Judge Shipman handed down an oppinion a few days ago in the suit of tho owners of tho trademarks covering I Hostetter's Stomach Bitters against Arnold ’ Theller aud Cornell Theller, tho compounders, located on Vesey street, New’ Y'ork City, in which ; it was decided that, although tho defendants made use of thrir own names on the labels affixed to tho bottles containing bitters prepared by them, vet as they were evidently designed to imitate tne Hostetter labels, they were infringers, and a perpetual injunction w as granted and tin accounting of damages ordered, together 1 with tho costs of the suit. It is tho evident intention of the Hostetter people to protect their I valuable trademark against all infringers, and ' the granting of the above injunction will encourage them to renew their efforts against the ravishes of the omnipresent infringer. | Patient (meeting doctor on the street) —Say, Doctor, w hen is the best time to drink?

Sea Birds Still the Troubled Waters. “Oil on troubled w aters” has proved to be so efficacious in smoothing rough seas that mariners have begun to provide their ships w ith cans of fish oil and oakum bags to be used in times of I great storms against the buffeting of I thewaves. Science might hax r elearned I lessons fiom Dame Nature ..‘enturies lago, and utilized oil for the safety of all men who “go down to the sea in ships.” Lieut. Gibbons, of the navy, referring to the use of oil at sea, said a tew days ago: “To close observers of sea-birds on their own (dement during bad w eather it must have been shown that, how ever rough the ocean may be, w here there? are birds resting on the sea there is scarcely a ripple to disturb them. All fisli-eatiug birds, cape pigeons, petrels, etc., eject oil from the month when captured; and, doubtless, they adopt a similar expedient to aid them in stilling the waves when searching for food in the sea. In the South Atlantic and the South Pacific oceans I have frequently witnessed sea-birds floating in spaces of seemingly quiet waters, when the sea around was rough. The unusual smoothness of the water where the birds floated was evidently induced by the quantities of oil deposited by them upon the xvater, either voluntarily or involuntarily.”— New York Ti ibune. COUNSEL OF EMINENT PHYSICIANS. The People of Oakland County Wild with Excitement. Pontiac. Alich.. March 1(>, 1887. On tho 10th day of December. 1886,1 camo from Orion to Pontiac to visit my parents, mid was taken suddenly ill. Dr. Gal'jreith, of this place, was calle I, and alter making care.'ul examination of my case, desiieda council, and named as councilor. Dr. McGraw, of Detroit. Tin y met in council Dee. 15th, made a careful examination, and pronounced my disease as Cancer of tho Liver, and stated that there was no hope for mo. and it was impossible to cure me. The pain was very severe and Dr. Galbroith continued his visits, administering quieting powders. A swelling or bunch had formed upon my right ribs almost as largo as my list, and I had given up all hopes of recovery. But having heard of Hibbard’s Rheuma'ic Syrup, I sent. Feb. 1. 1887, and bought a bottle of tho Syrup from Air. Petor Schmitz, a druggist ol this place, and took it as directed. About March Ist something broke and the swelling commenced to go down, until it has almost disapp ‘arod. Up to this date 1 have taken two an I one-half bottles of tho Syrup, mi l have so far recovered as to bo able to visit my neighbors, and am truly rejoicing that I am last being relieved of such terrible pain, and desiring to acknowledge the benefit I have received in using your Syrup. I send you this statement. hoping you will use it so that others who are afflicted may be benefited and relieved from pain as I have been. Very truly, Charles A. Spier, of Orion. Alich. Pontiac.

From time to time many inventions and devices have b.-eii placi d upon the market claiming to cure catarrh, neuralgia, bronchitis, etc., many of which are said to contain electric or magnetic curative' powers. It. Palmer is gentleman ?vho has devoted a life ot stud? to the subject of catarrh and diseases of the head, throat, and lui gs, and some time since he l ommenced a series ot experiments with a view to determining wlv-ther any combination could be 1 tormed which would kill tbe parasite aud act as a healing power at tin- same time, and at length sueccvded in determining tliat menthol, when combined with magnetism, would do so. but how to arrange these seemingly •pp.isite agents so as to render their us- convenient aud effectual was a question of io difficulty. \t length lie succeeded iuconfining within a vulcanite tube three inches long and about three-quarters of an inch in diameter a perfect magnetic battery in the form of a coil ot steel wire. In I the interior ot this battery is stored a fine gradeot imported menthol. 'Die ends of the tube are closed b> niclu l caps, which, when removed, admit ot the tree iiilmlatimi ot the electro mentholized air. The menthol acts ;s a germacide, while the magnetoe ectric force stimulating tho weakened nerves of the diseased parts into healthy action tonus av» dertul iiealing power, thereby successfully stopping any further depredations. The t umes when inhaled are refreshing and cooling. and tor the immediate relief and speedy cure of catarrh, cold in the head, hay lever, headache, neuralgia. । atarrbal deafness, etc., it is uuequaled. It cures headache in live minutes. Sore throat is one of the diseases immediately affected by the Inhaler. Commencing colds can be broken up in 21 hours by a tew inspirations from this little benefac- ' tor. To dear the throat ami head, and produce sound ami retr< shing sleep at night, it has no equal. The inspiration is pleasant amt effect wonderful. Nothing like it has ever been placed on the market I efore. I’s price is moderate. Its working is marvelous. mid no family can afford to be without one of these inventions. Beware of imitation, as there are unscrupulous I persoi s ei gaged in the manufacture of a spurious inha er that strongly resembles the genuine. Full directions, te timonials, etc., sent with each instrument. If you are afflicted with Catarrh, send Nri.oo and get a Magni tie Inhaler, which is certain to ass rd 1 instant relief aud a permanent cure. Address E. A.
