THE mm ROLE DEFEAT. Tories and Unionists Combine Against Gladstone. The Parnellites Determined to Continue the Fight. A London dispatch of the loth gives the following particulars of the English election struggles: An agreement has been arrived at by Which Lord Salisbury, the Tory leader, accepts Lord Hartington's Home Rule policy, which involves the inainteuauce of the full powers of the Imperial Parliament. By it the powers confericl on local councils in li-eland are delegated, not surrendred, by -Parliament, which body reserves the right to control and revise the action of the CUUUCliS. IQO uppoiuuueub VI juufctra uuu the legal administration are centred in the Imperial Parliament. l>ord Hartiugton, the Unionist leader, is still reluctant to ioin a Conservative Ministry, although he has pledged himself t > support coercive measures and the general poli.-y of the Conservatives. In Gladstonian circles confidence is expressed that the Premier will resign. The Parnellites say they will never accept Lord Hartington's scheme, aud will light and wait until they have secured the passage of the full G.'alstonian measure. The totals of members elected at midnight are: Conservatives and Unionists, 305; Gladctonians, 24L Mr. Parnell has written a letter in which hesays: "The statements of Lord Hariington that the Irish party aud National League are in union with American Fenians are untrue. I know nothing whatever of any Fenian organisation iu Ireland or America, beyond what I have learned from the newspapers. I have never had any communication with the leaders of such organizations or accepted any alliance with them. I do not even know who the leaders are. No union of the National League and Fenians has ever been proposed, if such a proposal had ever beeu made I should never have consented. I have always successfully endeavored to keep the National League within the strictest bounds of legality. In spite of the unblushing falsehoods which have part a ly and temporarily frustrated the moderate aspiration* of Ireland, the Irish people will continue to maintain a peaceable anil legal aspect, declining to afford any pretext to Lord Hartin^ton or his Tory allies to resort to the brutalities of coercion." At the regular fortnightly meeting of the Irish National League to-day the Treasurer announced that the donations received from the United State; for the Parliamentary fund within the past two weeks amounted to $80,000. Mr. T. M. Healy iu au address said that although Irishmen were disapp Dinted at the result of the elections, thev ,-hould not be despondent. The defeat. he sa d, was only temporary. One million electors had written "home rule'1 ou their polling papers as against the unholy existing triple alliance. A coalition Government, Mr. Healy contended, could not exist three months. SOUTHERN GROWTH. What Hjus Been Done in a Business A*ay In Six Months. In a semi-annual report of the industrial growth of the South, published by the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record, it is shown that there has been great industrial activity in that section since January 1, 18S6. The list of new entarprises organized since then includes thirty ice factories, forty foundries and machine shops, one Bessemer steel rail mill, eight miscellaneous iron works, three stove foundries, fifteen eras works, seventeen electric light companies, seven agricultural implement factories, seventy mining and quanying enterprises, eleven carriage and wagou factories, eight cotton mills, eighteen furniture factories, fifteen water works, twenty-nine tobacco factories, forty-eight flour mills, 218 lumber mills. The amount of capital and capital stock represented by the list of new enterprises, the enlargement of old plants and the rebuilding of mills after being" burned, for the first six months of lb&J, was as follows: Alabama. $4,858,500 Arkansas 11,428,000 Florida 931,000 Georgia 1,399,000 Kentucky 17,220,000 Louisiana 1,202,000 Maryland 5,139,000 Mississippi 457,000 North Carolina 1,4S5,200 South Carolina 538,000 Tennessee 5,297,000 Texas 2,080,000 Virginia 5,553,000 West Virginia 5,123,800 Total $68,617,500 This is $27,000,000 more than the amount invested daring the same period in 1885. A GREAT STORM. Hail, Hurricanes, ami Rain "Work Wide-Spread Damage. Reports have been received of wide spread damage done by great storms of hail and wind. At Newark, Ohio, the damage to on/i orrr.wJnor r-r.v fi 1Q iimfltPil flt $50,000. Tue roofs of several business blocka were carried away. The crops on thirty s ;uare miles of territory in Champaign and adjoining townships in central Illinois were damaged to the amount of $100,000. Thousands of panes of window glass were broken. In Marion, Ind., hail covered the ground to'a depth of two inches and in places corn, oats, and fruits are a total loss. Corn stalks were striped and broken. Oats wero beaten flat on the ground, and fruit wa< beaten from trees. Much wheat in the sho.-k was scattered through the wools by the wind. One hundred buildings in the county were unroofed. At Fort Keo^h, Mont, th?m?rc>ry was 120 degrees in t'.ie shade. No rain has fal ec therefore month.

NOT DISHEARTENED, An Irish Home Utile Leader Upon the English Elections. Mr. Thomas Power O'Connor, a leading Iri-h Homo Rule member of Parliament, says in an interview: "We are not at all disheartened, and can afford to wait for what must certainly come. This is not a defeat, but ouly a check, and borne rule will come soauer than some pejple e*fe -t. "The Tories are capable of anything while in office, but this time th ir pledges are too recent and altogether too distinct to permit th?ir dabbling in home rule legislation. If they did they would be unable to propose a measure that would satisi'v us, and we won't accept anything less than Mr. Gladstone offered. "Another six months will complete the j work which needs to be done, and we shall try acain. The Lilo. als are not yet sufficiently educated, hence their fatal abstention from the polls; but we will educate them, and theu wo will have home rale. The Irish c'e.tors in fJreat liritniu have voted loyally for the Liberal candidates and the polling lists show that 97 per cent, of them exercised their ri^ht of suffrage. ?ome of the successful Liberals would have been in a pretty predicameat had it not been lor tne irisn votes cast tor them. "The organization of the Conservatives is superior to that of the Liberals, and their discipline is exellent. Speaking of the Conservative organization, I may tell you that I intend to introduce in the next House a blil to suppress $he Primrose League, which, with all its patriotic pretentions, is really a league formed for purposes of the most disgraceful intimidation of electors, and whose objects are faithfully carried out" Spaik expects to get her navy rebuilt by the proceeds of a sale of about sixty wullo , dollars' worth of forest lauds. _ ( A WARNING. All Hxccntive Order Against Improper Political Work. Th.? following Executive Order lias been issued by the President: Executive Mansion, ) "Washington, July 14, 1S8C. f I To the Heads of Departments in the Service of the General Government: I deem this a proper tiuie to especially warn all subordinates in the several departments and all office holders under the General Government against the use of their official positions in attempts t? control political movements in their localities. Office holders are the agent* of the people, not their masters. Not only is their time and labor due to the Government, but they should scrupulously avoid, in their political action, as well as in the discharge of their official duty, offending by a display of obtrusive partisanship their neighbors who have relations with them as public officials. They should also (distantly remember that their party friends, from whom they have received preferment, have not invested them with the power of arbitrarily managing their political affairs. They have no right, as office holders, to dictate" the political action of their party associates or to throttle freedom of action within party lines bv methods and practices which per vert every useful and justifiable purpose 1 of party organization. The influence of Federal office holders should not be felt in the manipulation of political primary meetings and nominating conventions. The use by the-e officials of their positions to compass their selection as delegates to political conventions is indecent and unfair, and proper regard for the proprieties and I requirements of official place will also prevent their assuming the active conduct of political campaigns. Individual interest and activity in political affairs are by no means condemned. Officeholders are neither disfranchised nor forbidden tho exercise of political privileges, but their privileges are not enlarged nor is their duty to the party increased to pernicious activity by office-holding. A just discrimination in this regard between the things a citizen may properly do and the purposes for which a public office should not be used is easy, in the light of a correct appreciation of the relation between the people and those entrusted with official place, and a consideration of the necessity under our form of Government of political action free from official coercion. You are requested to commuuicate the sabstnnca of these views to those for whose guidance they are intended. GKOVER CLEVELAND. mCANIO_ERUPTION. Destruction of Life and Property In new ?iuaiauu? The steamer Alameda, which has just ar- J rived at San Francisco from Australia, ! brings particulars of the fearful volcanic ' eruptions in New Zealand last month, and j which are among the most destructive in the world's history. The first reports of the volcanic disturbances came from Tauragua, in the Auckland lake district. The natives of that village were sharply awakened from sleep at 2 o'clock in the morning by repeated vivid flashes of lightning, which continued at rapid intervals up to four o'clock, when a tremendous earthquake occurred, followed quickly by othei s. The shocks were so violent that the people jumped from their beds, and, paralyzed with terror, fled for their lives in their night clothes, making no e.Tort to save or take with them anything except their childreu. Tho oorf.h'itifll'oc r?nntin?Ar1 tr% fnllnw nnft another in quick succession up to 7 a. m., when a leaden cloud was observed advancing from the south, spreading out until it covered the sky. When still moving it burst with the sound of thunder, and shortly after showers of fine du>t began falling. Accounts from other points statu that Mount Taramera was the first volcano to break forth, and hardly were flames seen issuing from its crater than the entire Paersa range of mountains belched forth in sympathy, hurling flames of burning lava and stones over the surroundiug country. For the first time in tradition tbe extinct volcano ot Ruapeha was awakened into activity. The entire country over an extent of one hundred and twenty miles long by twenty in breadth was nothing but a mass of flame and hot. crumbling soil, which in pla.es rose-to the height of four thousand feet, capped at the highest point by the Tekopha Geysers, said to have been the grandest in the world. During all this time showers of dust continued to fall until it en riimvA na tn mntn rlnv rfftrk nn night, and not until the second day did the dust cease falling. It was noticed that tha dust emitted a strong sulphurous smell. Numerous small native villages were totally destroy?. 1. Wairsa was covered to the depth of ten feet with dust and ashes. Ralitomahana was completely engulfed, as were also some other small villa.es. Twenty-one persons arc known to have lest their lives,among whom were several English residents. The loss of cattle starved to death from tho destruction of pasture by dust is very great, and great distress exists throughout all the Auckland La'ce district. One old Maori chief at Ratarna was dug out alive after having been buried in ashes 101 hours. Every effort was made to save the lives of others, but iu mcst cases where bodies were found they were dead. At the date of the departure of the Alameda from Auck'and the volcanoes were still very active and the tcmperaturb of the hot lakes was increasing. NEWSY GLEANINGS.

The pillow may be made of any material desired to match furniture or drapery, but if this is not wished, Turkish toweling will look well witn anything or in any chair. Make the lining for the pillow of stout cloth or drill, twenty-four inches long and fifteen wide: fill with curled hair and fasten the ends securely. Work two strips, four inches wide and fifteen long, of cloth or felt in any pretty design, and chain-stitch them on the right side of the pillow. If embroidery is too tedious, cut cretonnc flowers and baste them on the strips, and embroider over a portion of them with silk of the same color, button-holing the flowers around the edge.?The Home. How to Get Rid of Dirt. One of the easiest ways to get rid of dirt is not to invite it to come in. How? By not having any woolen carpet?, especially those that have a cotton or linen back, like Brussels or tapestry carpet-;. There being no way for the dust to sift through on the paper or floor below, it is constantly flying up when disturbed. A three ply carpet is a good thing to catch the drift, as it gets into the m.ddle ply, and it is almost impossible to sweep or beat it out. Two-ply are easier to keep clean, but why have any? What! would you have the bare floors? Not just that ?I would compromise. Have less carpets and more rugs, that can be taken up xveekly, put on the line out of doors and beau n. ine "an squuies, ?.uujr <mcallcd, furnish a carpet good enough for most people. They conic in good quality, light or heavy, small or large sizes, so fitting different sized rcoms. woven in quite tasteful colors, with borders and fringes. What can be prettier or easier kept clean f In carpeting a floor the first thing to be considered is the t!oor itself. If your floor is slightly uneven anywhere, if there is nothing to prevent, whatever kind of carpet you have is sure to wear through on the uneven places first. It is "pen:iy wite and pound foolish" to put hay or stray under a carpet because it cannot be put down evenly; unle-s it is fresh it will make your room 6mell close ?nrl af-.nflfv. Leave the hay in the barn. The wise womau begins at the foundation by putting down the best carpet paper she can buy; the firmer and thicker the better. The best I have found is a plain, heavy paper that is made on purpose. That with i otton stitched between soon goes to pieces when cleaned, unless very carefully handled. This paper is carefully fitted around door and window casings to keep out moths, also cold. It covers all inequalities of the boards, keeps out cold, and when cleaning day come; and the carpet is taken up you will find most of the dirt on the paj-er, which can be rolled up and carried out of doors, and your floor is leftclean.?GoodHousclceeping. Recipes. Fritters.?Three eggs, one and onehalf cups of milk, three teaspoons of baking powder, and flour enough to make thicker than batter cakes; drop in hot lard and fry like doughnuts. Sauce? one cup of sugar, two tablespoons of butter; fiavor with lemon and boil till clear. Beep in Ragout.?Cut one or two 6lices of salt pork into dice and fry until brown; pour in a little stock or water, in which cook four potatoes cut in slices, a sprig of parsley, thyme, pepper and salt. Half an hour before serving put in picces of cold roast beef, adding a little vinegar. Pressed Corned Beef.?While warm chop up fat and lean together, and stir in enough dry mustard to flavor it; put in a long baking pan and place over it, right side up, another of the same size; put into this three flatirons for a weight and let stand over night. The next day it will turn out in a good loaf." Water Cress Sandwiches. ? Well wash some water cress nnd then dry it in a cloth, pressing out every atom of moisture as far as possible. Have a stale loaf of bread and some fresh butter, and with a sharp knife cut as many thin slices as will be required for two dozen sandwiches; then cut tlic cress into small pieces, removing the stems; place it between each slice of bread and butter, with a slight sprinkling of salt; press down the slices hard and cut them sharply on a board into small squares, leaving no crust. To Bottle Plums or Other Fruit.? Make a syrup of one pound of sugar to each quart of water. When cool put in as much fruit as the syrup will cover. Scald, but take off the fire before the skins break; using a spoon, quickly but gently fill the bottles?which should be warm?with the fruit quite up to the neck, add syrap to within half an inch of the corks. Then put in a quarter of an inch of best oil or melted lard, cork and wax at once while hot, and be sure that all air is excluded. Will keep until the fresh f. uit is ready, The fruit would better not be quite ripe. Onion Soup.?I am indebte d to an old French peasant woman for thi-i recipe, says au exchange. It is delicious and healthful: Put into a saucepan a bit of fat from the top of soups, or sweet dripnin<r the size of a walnut. If you have not either of these use butter, but never lard. When it is very hot, put in three large onions sliced; stir until turning red; add half a teacup of flour, and when this is red also (take great care that it does not burn), pour in a quart of boiliny water and simmer for an hour. Season with salt and pepper, and just before serving a'ld a pint ot boiling milk. Put picccs of toasted bread cut in diamond shape in the tureen, and pour the soup over. You can make it richcr by using more milk anrl less water. A tnblespoonful of chopped parsley and cives sprinkled in a moment before it is taken from the fire is considered a pleasmt addition by many. Witty Whipple. Dr. Hartol, in a eulogy upon the late Edwin P. Whipple, the noted Posfon essayist, gave a couple of instances of Mr. Whipple's quickness of repartee. A friend having ask d him "what would be his idea of a public library if lie had half a million to build it with: " If I had the hnlf millinn" rrtnrned Mr. Whipple, "I shouldn't have the idea." In a debate which may have irritated him a littte, his opponent at length said roughly: "Von have certainly lost your understanding!" ,4It is very evident," Mr. Whipple retorted with cool keenness, "that you have not found it." When the IFon. P. T. Barnum was younger than now, he was infccted with political aspirations and securcd a scat in the Legislature of Connecticut. Ilis efforts as an oiator were less succcesful than liis es ays in the show business harl been, and the Legislature could not be made to yield him a hearing. ''What do you suppose is the reason," some one asked Mr. Whipple.

"YANKEE DOODLE." 17 A mo US VERSIONS OP THE FA MOUS SONG'S ORIGIN. Written Originally to Satirize Oliver Cromwell?Afterward Used by the British to Polce Fun at America.n Recruits. m the "Centennial Collection of National Songs," published in 1876, the following account is given of the origin of "Yankee Doodle:" "In the summer of 1775 the British Army, under command of General Abercrombie, lay encamped on the cast bank of the Hudson River, a little south of the City of Albany, awaiting reinforcements of militia from the Eastern States, previous to marching upon Ticond eroga. During the month of July these raw lions poured into camp company after company,each man differently trmed, equipped und accoutred from his neighbors, the whole presenting such an appearance as was never equaled, unless by the celebrated Army o5 Jack Falstaff. Their appearance furnished great amunement to the British officers. One Dr. Shamburg, an English surgeon, composed the tune of 'Yankee Doodle,' and arranged it to wo-ds, which were gravely dedicated to the new recruits. The original words, which we take from 'Farmer and Moore's Historical Collections,' published in 1820, we have not, however, met with before in many years." With thA npprlfnl histnrirn.1 porrp.ntieins that the attack on Tconderoga by Absrcrombie took place in 1758, and not 177/5, and that Dr. Shamburg did not compose the tune of "Yankee Doodle," the above as quoted is generally correct. Another authority states that the scng originally appeared in a Boston newspaper in 1775, under the title of "The Yankee's Keturn from Camp." This version of the famous song appears in the Historical Collections of jtfew Hampshire. The first verse and chorus of this version are as follows: Father and I went down to camp, Along with Captain Gooding, Ard there we ;?e the men and boys, jis thick as hasty pudding. Yankea Doodle, keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy, Mind the music and the step. And with the ;;irls be oanay. There are fifteen additional verses in this version of the song. There is a mistake somewhere, for "Yankee Doodle" in both words and music, has a linenge that dates farther back than either 1775 or 1758. In an old newspaper, The Columbian Gaiet'e, published in Georgetown, D. C., duiing the earlier years ol this century, appears a letter from a correspondent telling of his having seen, in the collection of a gentleman in Cheltenham England, called "Musical Antiquities of England," a song entitled "Nankee Doodle," one of the verses of which ran as follows: NankeoDoodle came to town, Upon a little t>ony, With a feather in hit l-r.t, Upon a Macaroni. The song was written after the restoiation of Charles It., and the verse givan is a satirical allusion to Cromwell's goiig to Oxford, on a horse, with his singli | plume fastened to his hat by a small ! knot called a ''Macaroni." Watson, in his "Occurrences of thf I Revolution," nays: "Before the Revol'i- | tion, under another name, 'Lydia Fisher* J ('Yankee Doodle') was a favorite Nen j England jig. the custom boing to siu? it with impromptu words, such as: Lydia Locket lost lier pocket, Lydia Fssher found :t, Not a bit of money in it, Only binding round it, which, instead of being an imprompt* verse, is part of a song from Fay^s "Beggar's Opera, "first performed in 1727. Mls? Clayton, in her "Lives of Celebrated Singers," asserts that from that open the tune was derived; but the fact ii that it was only one of the many popu lar airs of the time that were incorpor ated in the opera. During the Revolu tion, when arms and ammunition were carried from Boston into the country it carts, ostensibly loaded with manure, the British officers adapted the following words to the tune: Yankee Doodle came to town, For to buy a firelock, We will tar and feather b im, And so we will John Hancock. "Watson, in his "Anntds of Philadel phia," says that John Carr, who opened the first music store in Baltimore, in 1797, had a book of tunes, one called an "Ail from Ulysses," an Engligh opora,written for Lincoln's Inn Field's Theatre,London, about 1731, by John Christian Smith, which wits indentical with the air ol "Yankee Doodle." Wataon giveus th< first verse of the original American song Yankee Doodle keep it up, Do it neat and hand; The boy to flog the British troops, Is Yankee Doodle Dandy. Clearly all patriotic Americans should feel proud of "Yankee Doodle." Writ ten originally to sntirize the dead Protector, Oliver Cromwell, by some friend of the newly-returned Stuart, Charles II., nearly a century later it was still popular enough to be U6ed in the greatest dramatic success of the age; a second time it appeared in opera, and then crossed th< Atlantic, where it at once became favorite. Although used by the British aa a meaas of poking fun at the recruitu in the army, in less th in fifty years the song was uBed by the descendants of those recruits as a battle cry when chasing th? British out of the United f-Hates. The song of "Yankee Doodle" truthfully represents the spirit of the nation, and long may Yankee Doodle keep it up. And dc> it neat and handy. whatever he undertakes.?Will M. Clemens, it. the Current.

For the same re ison that the muscles of the blacksmith's arm become'* nlarged ?unwonted work, that increases the hlood-suunlv and the nower to assimilate nourishment. In one cusc of the disease, an enlarged heart weighed nearly three pounds?the common weight being rather less than three-quarters of a pound. What is the cause of the heart's undue action ? Some obstacle to the circulation which compels the heart to work h :rder to propel the blood. A small increase in the force of each heart-be.it involves immense additional work. What are the causes of the obstruction ? The following are the most common: (1) Disease may have narrowed some one or more of the heart-valves, so that the heart ha? to force the blood through a smaller opening?in ex'treme cases not larger than the diameter of a quill. (2) A valve may have become so affected that it leaks, and the contraction forces the blood backward as well as forward, the backward flow thus distending the rear cavity, which is meanwhile tilling from the valve in the other end. The latter cavity must do extra 1- A 1 Al J wurK 10 propyl tue au| eruuuua uiuuu. r (3") A certain condition of the lungs, | or of the arteries leading to tLern, may constitute the obstruction. (4) Obstructions may be due to tumors, or to aneurisms, pressing against a large artery. (5) The obstruction may be due to a roughening ef the internal surfaces of. the arteries?a condition not uncommon in old age. ((>) Bright's dise;seisapt to be followed by cardiac enlaigement. How it comes about is not certainly known. (7) Such enlargement may be due to over-physical exertion. All long-contin ied muscular strain results in it, as in case of soldiers' from long-forced marches. Boating and some other pme contests are a frequent source of enlargement. Enlargement of the heart is not in itself an immediate evil. It is that by which nature overcomes a serious obstacle. But the enlargement tends to go on increasing, until it results in a dilation and thinning, at some weak point, of the walls of the heart, in which case some slight extra exertion or excitement may cause a fatal rupture.?Youths' Companion.

The other on the contrary cried: "He is helped whom the King helps." This they did every day,and the Emperoi heard it so often that he had a loaf of bread baked and filled with gold pieces. This gold-filled loaf he 6ent to the blind man who appealed to the Emperor'a help. When he felt the heavy-weight of the bread he sold it * to the other beggar ns soon a- he met him. The blind man who bought the bread carried it home. When he had broken it and found the gold he thanked God, and from that day ceased to beg. But the other continuing to beg through the city, the Emperor summoned him to his presence and asked him: "What hast thou done with the lUttl 1 I1UC1J Sl-llb JUU.

At his left is a frame filled with drills made of steel wire and of all varieties and shapes. The ends of the drills are covered with diamond dust ground in olive oil.

One day last summ?r while the troop? were being brought into Fort Reno, Idaho Territory, to be ready to suppress an outbreak amon<? the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes, they found a great many snakes in the prairie grass. In one day the soldiers kil.'ed thirteen large rattlesnakes. A young ca\alry othcrr gave his experience with un unusual specimen of the snake fam ly. After going into camp about dusk he started for the spring in a 1'ttle ravine near by. When not far from the ravine he saw the object, which was a'-oat an inch in diameter and of a sl'my green color, dragging its length aero>3 his path with a rapid movement. Quick as a flash he drew his sabre nnd slashed it in two. This only had th? cffect of quickening it in its mad race for the ravine. He made another and another flash, cutting oil two or three feet a number of times, out still \va* not able to find its head or check its speed until he got to the e lge of the ravine, when he saw, just below him, one of the company horses, whose iariat he had been chopping.?GlobeDemocrat.

For a long time we steadily refused to publish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion of the public generally, the great majority wore manufactured to order by unprincipled parties as a means of disposing of their Worthless preparations. That this view of the case is to a certain extent true, there can be no doubt. At last, several years ago, we came to the conolusion that every intelligent person can readily discriminate between spurious and bona title testimonials, ana ueiernunea to use as advertisements a few of the many hundreds of unsolicited certificates In our posseslion. In doing this, we published them as nearly as possible in the exact language used by our cor- i respondents, only changing the phraseology, in j some cases, 60 as to compress them into ? smaller space than they would otherwise ! occupy, but without in the least exaggerating , or destroying the meaning of the writers. We are glad to say that our final conclusion was a correct one?that a letter recommending an article having true merit finds favor with the people. The original of every testimonial published by us is on file in our office, an inspection of which will prove to the most skeptical that our assertion made above, that only the facts are given as they appear therein, is true. But as it would be very inconvenient, if not Impossible, for all of our friends to call on us ; for that purpose, we invite those who doubt (if 1 there be sucn), to correspond with any of the j parties whose names are signed to our testimonials. and ask them if we have made any j misstatements, so far as their knowledge extends, in this article. In other words, if we have not published their letters as nearly ver- 1 batlm as possible. Very respectfully, " H Tti r??T fmvrw Cj. i. Proprietor Piso's Cure for Consumption and Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. We append a recent letter, which come to ns entirely unsolicited, with permission to publish it: Dattow, Ohio, Jan. 12, 1888. Ton may add my testimony as to the merits of PiKo's Cure for Consumption. ' I took a severe cold last February, which settled on my lungs. They becamo ulcerated and were so painful that I hod no rest for two dayB and nights. I got a bottle of Piso's Cure for Consumption, and was relieved by the time I had taken half of it. Since that time I have kept Piso's Cure in the house, and use it as a preventive, both for lung troubles and croup, for which I can rccommend it as the best medicine I ever used; and that is saying agreatdeal, for I havo used at least twenty ethers, besides about as many physician*' prescriptions. Piso's Cure for Consumption has never failed to give relief in my family. A. J. GRUBB, 87 Springfield St A Most Liberal Offer!
