Senator Call denies that he ever used his senatorial knowledge for a land deal, and stands pat after saying that even the punctuation in CoL Chipley's pamphlet is false. Col Chipley has the Call now. The participants in a duel at Louisville, Ky., who selected a cemetery as the "field of honor” on which to settle their differ ences over a woman, evidently chose that secluded place believing that dead men tell no tales. Senator Morrill charges that Senators Teller and Jones have been inflating his tory. They have been trying so long to inflate silver currency that they naturally inflate everything with which they have anything to do. Boss Quay’s son Dick is a candidate for the legislature of Pennsylvania from Beaver county. He is only 26 years old, but it is said that he is almost as goed a politician as his father. It is to be hoped that he will not follow in the footsteps of bis father in all things. It is proposed to reduce the college course at Harvard to three years. The proposi tion has been approved by the faculty, and only awaits the approval of the board of overseers. It is also proposed to reduce the time now given to athletics and to painting the town red. The people of the south will be sorry to hear of Congressman Roger Q. Mills’ illness, which will necessitate his absence from Washington just at a time when his services would be of great benefit to the Democratic party. It is gratifying to learn, however, that his malady is not of a serious nature. It is gratifying to learn that the crop prospects all over the country are very en couraging. According to tbe last report issued by the weather bureau the recent frosts did not do as much damage as was feared. Crops are much improved by favorable weather in Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina, but in South Carolina and Mississippi excessive rains did gome damage, and in the latter state cotton is dying in many sections. That was a bright suggestion Congress man O’Neall, of Indiana, furnished the re publicans for getting rid of the surplus and rewarding the poor, neglected old soldiers when he introduced a bill to pay to each man who was mustered into the service during the late war, and to each man who was drafted and furnished to the govern ment an acceptable substitute, a sum equal to the bounty being paid by the govern ment at the time for volunteers. In a speech at Worcester, Mass., Col. W. 8. B. Hopkins of that place said: “The man is mad who thinks the south wants another war. * * * There is not a hand ful of men in the whole land who wish or hope the flag a moment’s harm. * * * Sectional feeling is almost dead.” CoL Hop kins wouldn’t think so if he had read Ingalls’ speech at Gettysburg, Clarkson’s speech at Boston, Reed’s speech at Pitts burg, and Firebrand Shepard’s seditious editorials in the New York Mail and Ex press. As long as these men are the mouth pieces of the Republican party sectionalism will be kept alive. That’s the method of their madueas. Sectionalism is about doad in the south. The Bosses of the Machine. It is well understood in political circles that the men who are the bosses of the republican machine are Senator Quay, CoL Dudley and Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson. They are members of the executive com mittee of the national republican committee They control the executive committee, and that committee - controls the national com mittee. Three abler,* shrewder and more conscienceless political man agers could hardly be found. They believe in success and are not nice about tbe means of attaining it. They wil 1 have much to do with the management of the next national republican campaign and will exert a marked influence in naming tbe next republican candidate for President and in shaping the next national republican platform. They are ambitious men and they are dis contented with the present administration — at least Dudley and Clarkson are. Clark son has gone on a trip to the Pacific coast in a private car for the alleged purpose of looking after postal matters in the west. It is believed, how ever, that his mission is a political one and has nothing whatever to do with the post office department. Why should he bother himself about postoffice matters when he has announced his intention to resign within three or four weeks? He has never taken any particular interest in the im provement of mail facilities since he has been in the postoffice department. This alleged zeal, therefore, in behalf of better mail service is suspicious to say the least of it. He has never been satisfied since he has been in Washington. The thought that has been uppermost in his mind is that the President treated him shabbily in not giv ing him a cabinet appointment. He con sented to be a subordinate of a shopkeeper in order to serve his friends, and having done all he could for them he purposes to cut loose from the administration. Tbe whole country knows that Dudley has a grievance. He was one of the Presi dent’s closest friends until the blocks of five letter was made public. The action of the President in shutting him out of the white house filled his heart with a desire for re venge. It is true that he has propered, not withstanding the loss of the President’s favor.; Indeed, the scandal of their broken friendship has put money in his pocket. Nevertheless, he is a proud man, and he doesn’t like being regarded as an outlaw. If he ever has an opportunity to make the President repent of his conduct toward him he will Certainly improve it. It ts true that Quay has the President’s ear and controls the Pennsylvania patron age, bqf he Is not a coutented man. The charges against him have not been dis proved, and he has a feeling that the finger of ecarnlis Sometimes pointed at him by honest men. To smother this feeling he gives hi whole time to political plotting and scheming. His aim is to secure his party’s success, and through it bis own suc cess Th? country’s wdlfare does not con cern hyp.greatly. These three men are the ones who control the political machine of the Republican party. They are responsible largely for its political methods. Is a party controlled by such men a fit one to have control of the government? Progress In Electricity. Recent practical and successful tests leave no room for doubt that electricity will be the motive power of the future. This is made more apparent daily by the increased uses of electricity in every branch of engineering and manufacturing. Sci entists have demonstrated the wide utility of electricity, and it is no longer a mere curiosity. No less an authority than Prof. Elihu Thomson said that in the not very dim future the problem of getting electrical power direct from fuel, without the intervention of steam, would be solved. This assertion is based on some very promising experiments made quite recently. Again, he predicted that railroading would be so far improved that with electricity as the motive power a speed of from 100 to 150 miles an hour would be attained with safety. He' went still further, and expressed the idea that the application of electricity to chemical work would not only facilitate op erations now carried on by old methods, but might ultimately result in the manufacture of food products from what may be called raw materials. Prof. Edison shares these views,and while he is not as enthusiastic in bis prophecies as his learned confrere, he is confident that what now seems improbable to the untu tored In the science of electricity will be accomplished. Some idea of the extent to which electric power is being used for passenger transpor tation purposes may be gained from the statement that there are now nearly 200 electric railways in operation in the United States, which are carrying passengers at the rate of 216,000,000 per annum. When it is remem bered that only two years ago there were not over twelve electric roads in the coun try, and several of them experimental ones, it will be seen that the electric railway businees has had a most phenomenal de velopment in that short time. In other directions wonderful progress has been made. Not only is welding done by electricity, but also soldering and cementing. In these processes, after the parts are put together and properly shielded, the electric current is applied, and under pressure the parts are fused together, the heat being applied just where it is wanted. This is an age of electricity, and in the light of all these wonderful achievements may not Prof. Thomson’s prediction be realized soon? Ragnhill Larson is the most infantile im migrant who ever came to this country without a natural protector. She is 2 years and 1 month old and landed at New York the other day. She came alone all the way from Stockholm, Sweden. She is an orphan and was sent for by her aunt who lives in Newark, N. J. At Stockholm she was placed in charge of the stewardess of a steamer bound for Hull, Eugland. At Hull a railroad conductor took charge of her, and saw her safely on a steamer at Liver pool The steamer was the Britauniac, the stewardess of which vessel looked after her until she reached New York, where her aunt received her. She is quite an experi enced traveler. Ex-Speaker J. Warren Keifer, now a hired lobbyist, has been watching Speaker Reed’s way of running the machine in the national House of Representatives, and he is no doubt convinced by this time that the way he used to do things is no more to be compared with that of the man from Maine than the gleam of a June bug to the glorious effulgence of the noonday sun. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1890. The Call-Cbipley Issue. As bas been already announced, Senator Call has agreed to meet Mr. Chipley in debate at any time and place that the peo ple of De Soto county, Florida, may indi cate. It may reasonably te ex; eeted, therefore, that these gentlemen will tell tbe people of Florida at an early day all they know about each ether’s record'. It is quite certain that Senator Call isn’t afraid to meet Mr. Chipley on the stump, and it is evident that Mr. Chipley isn’t afraid to meet Senator Call The pamphlet which Mr. Chipley bss issued. In which be reviews the public record of Senator Call, has attracted con siderable attention in Washington, and also from northern newspapers. Doubtless Sen ator Call will also issue a pamphlet, iu which he will deal Mr. Chipley some pretty heavy blows. Indeed, It is understood that he bas already prepared the matter for a pamphlet, and it will be in print probably before long. There is no foundation for saying that this wordy warfare Messrs. Call and Chipley will injure the democratic party of Florida. There is uo reason why the Democratic party of that state should suffer injury because two of its prominent members quarrel with each other. Their quarrel dees not involve the party in any respect. It is a personal quarrel. Senator Call has friends and so has Mr. Chipley, but the friends of the two gentlemen are not going to try to break up tbe Democratic party of Florida because their principals are endeavoring to bring about each other’s poli ical death. Mr. Chipley makes no charges against the party. Neither does Senator Call. How, then, can the party be harmed by their quarrel? There are those, of course, who insist that the quarrel, if continued, will hurt the party. They ought to disabuse their minds of that idea. The quarrel isn’t settled by any means, and it isn’t likely to be before Senator Call’s successor is chosen. Senator Call may be chosen to succeed him self. Whether he is or not the quarrel will terminate when the question of the senator ship is disposed of. Doubtless the republicaos of Florida would like to see the Democratic party dis rupted by the quarrel. They will not have that satisfaction. The democrats of Flor ida are too level-headed to permit a per sonal quarrel to interfere with the harmony of their party or its success. Mischief-Maker Shepard. There does not seem to be any reason to doubt that Col. Shepard, the editor of the New York Mail and Express, is a bad man. Besides being a hyDocrite he is vicious and unprincipled. In order to achieve a little cheap notoriety he would gladly stir up ill feeling and strife throughout the entire country. To accomplish his purposes he does not hesitate to publish falsehoods. And yet this man pretends to be a Christian gentleman, and at the head of his editorial columns prints each day a text from the Bible. Last Sunday the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., who occupies the pulpit of the Twenty third street Baptist church, New York, denounced CoL Shepard’s paper as "a national curse and a disgrace to Christian ity.” If this is the opinion which is enter tained of CoL Shepard and his paper in the city in which CoL Shepard lives, what must be thought of them where they are not so well known? The Rev. Mr. Dixon, speaking of the Mail and Express' utterances relative to the Richmond celebration, said; “The Mail and Express so distorts and falsifies the facts as to make it appear that the only flag to be seen was the confederate flag. This was done with the deliberate purpose of deception. The paper deals in vitupera tion, abuse, epithets. It assumes a pious whine, nauseating in the extreme, and poses as a representative of Christianity. It could not live without the assumption of some moral force: it would not be toler ated, and so it steals the livery of heaven. In the name of God and of truth, of hon esty and of integrity, I, for one, repudiate this so-called newspaper as in any sense rep resentative of Christianity. Keep such pa pers from your homes as you would a pest. If you want vicious literature, use the bald vulgarity of Swift or the naked realism of Zola. It will be less dangerous than the hatred and bigotry and malice and false hood of such a sheet wrapped up in a scripture text,” Public sentiment in New York does not now support Col. Shepard. It simply tolerates him. A good many people read his paper for the purpose of seeing what he has to say. Very few, indeed, agree with him or sympathize with his utterances. He is looked upon as a crank, and hence his power for doing harm is very little. If ho could get a following, however, he would be more dangerous than an anarchist. He would create any amount of trouble for the mere sake of getting himself talked about. He has no principles, his sole object being to gain notoriety. After the disastrous experience of French investors in the Panama canal it is en couraging proof of pluck to learn that a number of French capitalists will under take the construction of tbe Delaware and Maryland ship canal The canal will begin at the mouth of the Sassafras river, thirty nine and and a half miles above Baltimore, on theCheaspeake Bay, following the course of the Sassafras sixteen and a half miles to the head of tidewater, and then strikeing across to the Delaware Bay at Liston’s Point, a distance of fourteen and a half miles. The heavy excavation on this route would only extend seven and a half miles, and the cost of the work is estimated at $6,000,000. This water route will shorten the distance from Baltimore to Philadelphia and other northern ports at least 200 miles, and will also shorten the route from Balti more to Europe. The New York Press says: “Riches do not necessarily brine happiness. Since William Waldorf Astor became the richest man in America his former cheerfulness has deserted him, aud he is described as one sad and gloomy. Responsibilities bring a long train of trials.” The American Banker estimates Jay Gould’s income at $7,446, Cornelius Vanderbilt’s at $15,249, John D. R ckefeller’s at $18,715, and William Wal dorf Astor’s at $23,593 per day. The latter’s income is equal nearly to SI,OOO an hour, or about sl6 75 every minute. He ought not to lose any sleep over that. The latest addition to the ranks of the nineteenth century messiahs is G. W. Flowers, an ebony-hued prophet of Chicago, who says he is riding the white horse of salvation. He predicted that there would be no rain on this part of the earth (or forty days, beginning Junel to July 10. Mr. Flowers must be mu h distressed by this time about the perversity of the weal her. He is evidently riding the wrong horse. PERSONAL Mrs. Cilia Thaxter, the New England poet ess whose home cn the Isles of Shoals has been one of the grandest attractions to visitors there, is seriously ill of a combination of nervous dis eases. George W. Calle has returned to Boston from an extended tour through the south, where he has been gathering material fora new novel. M. Rochefort's purchase of Sir Francis Grant's portrait of Ijndseer. as a gift to the British nation, is considerable of a surprise to Englishmen. John c. Wood, who is an active member of tbe life-saving rrew at Atlantic CitY, is reputed to be worth $2,000,000, inherited from a rich uncle in Paris. Emile Blanchard, president of France's Academy of Science, announces that he can make silk straight from the material of the mulberry leaf without resorting to the silk worm. Miss Ethel Chase Sprague, who it was re cently announced had given up all idea of going on the stage, made her debut in F.ufTalo last Monday evening, and U said to have made a hit. Du Maurier, Punch's well known caricaturist, lives in elegant leisure at Hampstead. He oc cupies there a big house that is filled with his wonderful collection of old engravings and pictures and with his wonderful library. Miss Dolores Marbourg, the author of one of last year's popular novels, bas gone to Europe for a prolonged residence and literary work. She has just finished anew novel writ ten in collaboration with George Cary Eggle ston. , If there is any one thing in particular which Cyrus W. Field, the well known millionaire, detests, it is the smell of tobacco smoke. Cigars, and even pipes, he thinks bad enough, bui the fumes of cigarettes he positively ab hors. M. Dumas, the younger, is 66, hale, vigorous and broad-shouldered, with gray hair, the ample forehead of a thinker, and a shrewd, satirical express.on about his mouth. He is very neb, and lives with his books and his grandchildren in the Avenue de Villiers, Paris. King Humbert is a prudent monarch, and does well to be so in the present state of the kingdom's finances. Last year the civil list for the royal household was 15,350,000 francs, aud the king spent 15,349,999 francs, leaving a cent and three-quarters to his credit for the ensuing year. John H. Krause, a retired wholesale grocery merchant of Philadelphia, offers to give $20,000 toward the providing of a hospital at Potts town. Pa., if the King's Daughters, who now nave $4,000 toward it, will succeed in getting contributions amounting to his proposed gift. In addition he will give $5,000 in trust, the in come of which is to furnish a free bed in the hospital as soon as it is completed. Stewart William, who died in 1882 in India, bad married the daughter of a Begum and adapted her religion. He was afterward re converted to Christianity. His widow and son have a claim on the Gardner peerage in Eng land, and the London World thinks there will be an interesting suit some and y to settle the succession to the title, although it is not worth a shilling. The new-Ticdborne claimant might turn his attention upon this opportunity. James Whitcomb Rli.et recently wrote to a magazine editor who had offered him a large price fora poem: “I’d like to engage to write such a poem as you outline could I see a clear way to its conception. Like engagements, 'old, Old, centuries old,'are slowly making .me hon est enough with latter patrons to tell them frankly that my soundest promises won’t hold shucks! 1 mean well, but seem helplessly per verse in the righteous fulfillment of all orders. By this you are most justly to infer that my poetry, however poor, is belter than my word. The verse must go, therefore, a* I turn it loose —first come, first served, with great liberal landscapes of allowances.'' BRIGHT BITS. A tear upon his eyelash played, His features wore a frown.

From the Philadelphia Times (Did.). Before a man is married and he has asked the fatal question he sometimes hr to beg her to break through her shyness and only give him one little word. But he never has occasion to beg for a word after marriage. Quay Should Jump. From the Boston Herald ( Ind.\ Mr. Depew is very eloquent in his praise of the Yale oarsman who jumped out of the boat, after becoming disabled, in order to relieve it of his dead weight. There is a parable here that would apply to Chairman Quay and his party, but probably Quay will fail to see the point. In the Year 5001. From the Birmingham (Ala.) News (Dem.). We wonder whether the next governor of Alabama will be a Jefferson or Clinton to make Birmingham a greater city than New York by compelling the centralization here of the rail way systems of the continent, a consummation acnieved when the sea laves the skirts of Bir mingham, or when the Warrior or the Alabama becomes an extension to Birmingham of the Nicaraugua canal. Where Reform ia Needed. From the Xashville American (Dem.). A barrel Is found floating in the river. In the barrel is a human body. A coroner summons a jury of seven. None of them can identify the body and none of the crowd of curious people who come up can tell anything about it. . The coroner writes out his verdict, “Cause of and ath unknown," the jury sign the paper, the body is hastily put iu the ground, and the coroner makes out his claim for his fees. The country pays for the sham and maybap a murderer, re lieved of the fear of detection, blesses the offi cial negligence which gives immunity to crime. In advanced age the declining powers are wonderfully refreshed by Hood’s Sarsa parilla. It really does “make the weak strong.”— Adi\ ITEMS OF INTEREST. A stone coffin ia a tomb in Canterbury ca thedral on being opened was found to contain the body of an ancient archbishop fully vested. It is thought to be that of Cardinal Stephen Langton. who sided with the barons in extort ing Magna Charta from King John. Although buried six centuries ago, tbe features Mere Mtill perfect and the tssTiui ni quite sound. Eagle Rock, between Oil City and Tidiout*. U the most notorious place in the United States for rattlesnakes. It is said that there is a den of them among the rocks, and on sunny days hundreds of ths reptile* can be seen basking in the sunshine. stx me* from Oil City captured ten live rattlesnakes and killed seven. The bides of the reptiles ars converted into neokties. A bottlh was picked up on tbe Coney Island beach the other day in which there was a mes sage reading: “For heaven's take, send help! My wife has pulled nearly all tbe hair out of my bead and threatens to brain me with tbe poker before night. Send at lrast four strong men to overcome her.” As the poor man. who has doubtless been brained era this, did not give his location, no help was sent. Two lawyers have arrived in Cleveland from Amsterdam in quest of Hubert von Bamber, whose brother recently died, leaving to Hubert an estate worth 6,000.000 marks. They have as certained that Bamber adopted the name of Edmonds in this country and settled in Cleve land Edmonds died in the Infirmary last Feb ruary from eonsumpton, and hyt body was turned over to a medical college for dissection. A New Haven man placed a pigeon on a nest of eggs a short time ago. A week later a hen flew into the nest, drove the pigeon away and, after destroying tbe eggs, laid one of her own. The pigeon returned and kept the hen's egg warm for twenty-four days, and a day or two ago a little white chicken was found in the nest. As tbe pigeon found some trouble in feeding the chicken, it was placed in a brooder, and now the pigeon Is heart-broken. A journal in Chicago some time ago offered prizes for tbe best projects for emphasizing the success of the world’s fair in that city. One inventor contemplates the building of a tunnel of thick glass far out into the lake, so that the effect of an immense aquarium be secured. Another mventor proposes the erection of two towers, each about 400 feet high, at a consider able distance apart, and the construction be tween them of an aerial electric railway. An ingenious prisoner at Karius, Bohemia recently constructed a watch, three inches in diameter, with no other tools or materials than two needles, a spool of thread, a newspaper and some rye straw. The wheels, staffs and pinions are all made of the rye straw, which, it is well known, is quite coarse and tough. It runs six hours without winding, and keeps good time. It is now in possession of the prefect of Karius, who considers it the greatest marvel of the nineteenth century. While boring for water, near Bowling Green, Ky., Ebenezer Cathcart struck a well of fragrant oil It is so clear as to be nearly transparent, of a beautiful pale-pink color, and. while en tirely odorless when cold, if heated emits a most delicious odor, resembling somewhat attar of roses. An experiment was tried with a small quantity to test its burning properties, wnen it was found to burn slowly but steadily, giving a sift, clear flame, shedding a faint rose colored light, and filling the air with a pene trating fragrance. No worm or insect is ever found upon the eu calyptus tree, or in the earth whore Its roots permeate. A row of trees planted through an orchard or vineyard will cause insects, worms, aud caterpillars to vacate that region. The branches of the eucalyptus used in the rooms or wind ws or as decorations in dwelling rooms! will cause musquitoes, moths, fleas, and flies to leave tbe premises, and when the leaves are placed beneath a carpet around the border of the room when the carpet is laid, is an insur ance against the moth, and branches placed beneath the bed pillows, a protection against fleas. Dr. Lancaster, a London physician and sur geon, recently analyzed a man and gave the result to his class in chemistry. The body operated upon weighed 154.4 pounds. The lec turer exhibited upon the platform 23.1 pounds of carbon, 2.2 pounds of limo, 22.3 ounces of phosphates and about one ounce each of sodium, iron, potassium, magnesium and sili con. Besides this solid residuum. Dr. Lancaster estimated that there were 5,595 cubic feet of oxygen, weighing 21 pounds; 105,900 cubic feet of hydrogen, weighing 15.4 pounds; andi2cubic feet of nitrogen in the man's body. Allot these elements combined in tbe following: One hun dred and twenty-one pounds of water, 16.5 pounds of gelatine. 1.32 pounds fat, 8.8 pounds fibrin and albumeD, and 7.7 pounds of phosphate of lime and other minerals. “The Gray Haa Conquered Now.” Lyon Leroy in the Detroit Free Press. Comrades, ’tis many years since ran Our young blood hot and free, Beside translucent Rapidan And turbid Tennessee. Long since war’s whirlwind fiercely swept O’er mountaiu, vile and plain, Since, battle torn, we weary slept, ’Mid dying anu the slain. Since cypress wilds and slopes of pine, With martial camps were white. And since the foeraan's distant line Gleamed dimly through the night. Old comrades, life has changed since then, Since march, bivoiuic and fray, When we were strong and buoyant men. And fought the gallant gray. To us the evil days have come, With age’s hoary signs, And now Time beats a muffled drum Along our thinning lines. A stern old, unrelenting seer Writes round the soldier’s brow, In solemn letters, year by year; “The gray has conquered now.” • The hero of the fiery blast Of shell and leadeu sleet— The first in deathful charge, and laSk To linger in retreat. The supple boy, who daily ran Undaunted to the fore No less than he the brawny man. Who brunt of battle bore. Of these, both file and rank. Time steals bis subtle way: Nor center deep, nor solid flank. His sly approach can stay. His silent, but his sure advance No strategy can ward; He scorn's the picket's vigilance And passes every guard. ATe fears no rampart’* shotted guns, No sentry's watchful tread; No lines of serried anna he shuns To mark each comrade's beau. But right and left, and up and down. Around the soldier's brow. He writes, on raven locks and brown: “The gray has conquered now.” The Tintype Did It. One day a inan came over to our mine, which was about seyen miles from Virginia C.ty, and told ns that a photographer had just opened up in the town, says the New York Sun. Next day being Saturday, a lot of us knocked off at noon and went up to have our tintypes taken. Among the crowd was old Bill Lawson, who was the homeliest man you ever set eyes on. He was not only lop-shouldered and hump backed. but a bear had clawed his iace and a fight-r had bitten his nose and blinded him in one eye. It was a matter of remark that his looks would scare a panther, and we had know n of meu coming six miles to look at him: but, as the ola man would never look into a glass, he couldn’t realize how homely be really was. lie might never have realized it had he not con cluded to sit for a great big tintype—the largest the artist could make. When a finished picture was handed him he stared at it in blank sur- Srise; then he scratched his head and rubbed is good eye, and looked again. Then he came over to us and asked in a faltering voice: "l’ards, who is this chap in this picture?” “That’s you. Bill.” “Looks like me?” “Exactly." “Can’t be no one else?” “No.” “I’m as homely as that, am I?" “Worse, if anything.” “You don’t sav 1 Look a-hyar, boys, how long hev you known this?” "Two years.” “And never let on! Well, that was white of you and no mistake. Can't be any other feller, can it?" "No.” “That’s my mug— my blinker, my nose, my mouth and chin?” “Yes.” “That's enuff. Good-by, boys.” "But where are you going?" “Back to camp. Ses you later.” But he Dover did. He started for camp alone, and at the halfway spot he sat down on a rock and suicided by a bullet into his head. On a flat atooe lay the tintype, and with a piece of clay be bad written on the stone: “Uoue to to get a decent looking mug.” MEDICAL.

A PHYSICIAN’S OPINION. '' “I have been practicing medicine for twenty years and have never been- able to put up a vegetable compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regulator, promptly and effectively move the Liver to action, and at the same time aid (instead of weak ening) the digestive and assimilative fowrrs of the system.” ..

Drowsiness, Distress after eating, Pain in the Side, 4e While their most remarkable success has been shown in curing SICIC Headache, yet Carter’s Little Liver Pills are equally valuable in Constipation, curing and preventing this annoying complaint, while they also correct all disorders of the stomach, stimulate the liver and regulate the bowels.
