Ihe Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind cf Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his certificates the first bottle, and a'perfect cure Is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. Read the label. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first. No change of diet ever necessary’. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it. Dose, one tablespoonful.in water at bedtime. Sold by all Druggists. W. L. Douclas CUA? ISTHEBEST.

Where Titov Will Be Worst. The year 1894 is a peculiarly unfortunate one for the farmers, in that it i* ! the year for the appearance of both i the teventean-yeir and the thirteenyear locusts.

BAPTISTS IN SESSION. Enthusiasm Manifested When the Conven- J tion Was < ailed to Order. The Baptist Young People's Union’s ! fourth annual convention met in Ma soy Hall, Toronto. The hall is a magnificent structure, capable of seating 5,00:) people, and was a gift to the city from H. A. Massey, one of Canada’s wealthy manufacturers. The building was taxed to its utmost capacity. At least 8.000 people tried to get into MasseyMusic Hall, when it could only hold 5,000. The consequence was that the Metropolitan Church-was pressed into service in order to accommodate the I overflow. The first sign of enthusiasm I was when the Maryland delegation. ■ nearly 200 strong, entered the hall

Ho reviewed the work of the past year and congratulated the delegates on the splendid success attained. Addresses of welcome were presented on behalf of Canadian Baptist societies by I). E. Thomson, Queen’s Counsel Toronto, and Rev. Dr. Elmore H rids’ of Toronto. President B. L. WhitmaT Colby University, Waterville, Me., responded. The speech was full of declarations of undying good-will between Canada and the United States, sentiment* which were vehemently cheered. Rev. Dr. Erank 1..

I hope no excuse Is necessary for my earnest appeal to you that in this crisis you stienuously insist upon party honesty and Kixnl faith, and a sturdy adherence to Democratic principles. I believe these are absolutey tecessary conditions to the continuation of Democratic existence. 1 cannot rid myself of the feeling that this conference will present the best It not the K>e ot true Democracy. Indications Its act ion as the reliance of those who B genuine fruition ot Democratic efr.itnilment of Democratic pledges redemj tion of Democratic promises opie. To reconcile differences In tho >mprioed In the fixed and well-defined ^rfncii'le will not be the sole task of ■rence. but as it seems to me its mem--1 also have in charge the question whether Democratic principles themselves are to be save 1 or abandoned. There is no excuse for mistaking or mlsappreheuding the feeling and the temper of the tans and file of the Democracy. They are downcast under the assertion that their party fails in ability to manage the government, and they are apprehensive that their efforts to brinj about tariff reform may fall, but ther are much mote downcast and apprehensive In their fear that Democratic principles maybe surrendered. In tkese circumstances they canuot do otherw i-e than to look withconfldencetoyon and those who with you have patriot! ally and sincerely championed the cause of tariff reform within Democratic lines and guided bv Democratic principles. This confidence !• vastly augmented by the action, under your leadership of the House of Representative* upon the bill now pending Eren- true Democrat and everv sincere tariff reformer knows that this bill, in its present form and as It will be aubmitted to the conference, falls far short of the consummation for which we hare long labored, for which wo nave suffer'd defeat without discouragement. which In its anticipation gave ne a rallying cry tn our day ot tiinmph. and which in its premise of accomplishment la so interwoven with Democrat c pledgee and Democratic «tir *as that our auanJonment of the cans* or the principles uimn which it rests means pat tv peril iv an 1 par tv dishonor.

I confess to sharing in lhl» feeling, and yet it seems to mew. oUzh’. if possible to sufiiclentb free ourselves from prejudice to enable us coolly to weigh the considerations which la formulating tariff legislation ought to gui e out treatment of sugar as a taxable article. While no tenderness should b entertained for trusts, nnd while I an. det :edly opp" ed to grunting them under th>‘suUe tariff taxation, anv <>ppu:inn!’y to furtiv r their peculiar methods I suggest that ee ought not to be Irtven awav from the !lemocratic principle and poller which led to the taxation ot sugar by the fear, quite likely exaggerated, that In carrying out this i r uciple aud policy we may indirectly end inordinately encourage a eombliistio’i of the sugar refining Interests 1 know tha: in present conditions thia :* a d’- .cat'- U 'ject. an I 1 appreciate the depth an I strength ot the feeling which Its treatment ha* an ns- d 1 do not believe we should do evil that good tnay come, but It seems to me that we shon d not forget that our aim is the completion of the tariff, and in taxiuz sugar for j toi er purposes and within reasonable bounds, whatever else may be said of our action, we are in no danger ot tunning counter to Democratic principks. With all there la at stake there must be in the treatment of this article some ground upon which we are nil willing to -tami. wnere toleration and <-one.ha: ion may be allowed to solve the problem w itbout demanding the entire surrende: ot fixed and conscientious convictions. 1 ought tot to prolong this letter. If what I have wiilten Is unwelcome, I beg you to believe in u y good intentions. In the conclusion* of the conference touching the numerousgtems which will be considered, the people are rot afttiid that their interests will be - "gi,’ee-ted. Thev know that the c. m. forts T J ° , and to insure better at compensation to those who toll. know that a tariff lawcovering all the varied’ interests and conditions of a country as va‘t a- ours must of necessity be largely the.iesul: of honorable adjustment and compromise. I expect very few of us can say, when our measure is perfected, that all its features are entirely as we would prefer. You know how much 1 deprecated the incorporation in the proposed bill of the income-tax feature. Iti matters of this kind, however, which do not violate a fixed and recognized Democratic doctrine, we are willing to defer to the judgment of a majority of bur Democratic brethren. I think there is a general agreement that this is party duty. This Is more palpably apparent when we realize that the business of our country timidly stands and watches for the result of our efforts to perfect tariff legislation: that a quick and certain return of prosperity waits upon a wise adjustment, and that a confiding people etill trust in our hands their prosperity and well-being. The Democracy of the i land plead 1 most earnestly for the speedv i ccmpleiion cf the tariff legislation which their representatives have undertaken, but they demand not less earnestly that no stress of necessity shall tempt those they trust to the abandonment of Democratic principle. ; Yours very truly, Grover Cleveland.

Uv VV <i. I,- I Him. , The inlered shown in the drop do in.<Xs and annisii g observation* of little Il Uh is proven by th,, success of re- । cent works on the subject. Most of us have some line or other, heard cbilj dren come out with as conical things as any, invented or otherwise, that we see chronicled. Not iong since a correspon lent sent a provincial paper an anecdote of the kind referiea tc, of which his (’-year old boy was the hero. He says: “1 keen a shop, and se’l fancy goo is. A gentleman came in to buy something. It was early and my little boy and I were alone n the hou eat the time. The gentleman gave me a sovereign. and I had to go upstairs to my cash-box. Before doing so I went into the little room next to the shop and s i d to the boy: ’Watch the gentleman, that he don't steal anything,” and I put him on the counter. As soon as I returned he sang out: "Pa, Ie didn't steal anything—l watched him.” You can imagine what a position I wa* in. XUsrlity !• the Truth: And It will prevail.

Efforts made by irresponsible dealers to compete with it by indirect means have and will continue to fall upon the heads aud, it may bo added, the pocket* of thus* making them. Through the length and breadth of the American continent it is the acknowledged household remedy, reliable and prompt. It relies upon facts, upon public exi>erience. and upon the emphatic commetdatlou of the medical fraternity. 11l - Oldest Timber ill the World.
