The Spirit of Truthfulness.
Philadelphia Ledger.
One important stop in all moral pro
gress is that which leads from the ob
servance of a law or precept to the in
fusion of the spirit which contains the
law. Indeed, it should hardly be called
a step, for Hie distance between the
1 wo is sufficient to demand many steps.
This is strongly exemplified in the case
of truthfulness. There is a long dis
tance between the repugnance now
happily felt by a large majority of the
community towards the actual uttei-
ance of a lie and that spirit which loves
and rejoices in the truth for its own
.sake, and delights to discover and dif
fuse it. After one has reached the for
mer point he has a long ways to travel
before arriving at the latter. People
usually considered truthful are scatter
ed upon that road at various stages of
progress.
Some there are so little advanced that
although they would not tell a lie they
would not hesitate to act one. If they
can avoid the literal utterance of an
untruth they are quite willing to con
vey the same by evasive statements,
deceptive silence, and even a quibble of
words. If personal interest, party feel
ing, or any other motive induces them
to desire a false impression to be made
upon the minds of others, they will not
hesitate to minister to this desire in
any way that does not actually involve
a verbal falsehood. They will even
pride themselves upon their shrewd
ness in avoiding this literal sin, while
accomplishing the same results it would
have done. “I have said nothing but
what was true,” is a common justifica
tion made by these persons when ac
knowledging that they have success
fully deceived or misled their neigh
bors. That such self-delusion should
be possible shows in what crooked and
subtle ways the mind can be induced
to work when evil desires force it into
alliance with them.
There are others who would not thus
debase their common sense, who per
haps have no wish to deceive, and who
would not by any underhand methods
create a false impression; yet, who are
far from cherishing the spirit of which
we speak. They will loosely hold
opinions, of the truth of which they
are in more or less doubt, content that
they are the views of the party or
clique to which they belong. Or hav
ing become convinced of some truth
which others do not share, they hold it
in silence, especially if it is unpalatable.
Or when their convictions and their
interests seem to be opposed, they de :
dine to sacrifice the latter to the for
mer. They have a certain respect for the
truth, but it is not very dear to them,
and, while they would not wish to for
feit or injure it, they are not ready to
make sacrifices for it. They bow to its
laws but are not infused with its spirit.
There are many who heartily em
brace the truth in certain directions,
and cleave to it joyfully, whatever it
cost, while to other portions of it they
are cold and indifferent. There are
men who gladly devote their lives to
searching for and promulgating the
truths of some technical science, yet
are careless about the truths which un
derlie government, or the principles on
which character is formed. There are
those who seem to be the soul of honor
in every private capacity, who are yet
unfaithful to the truths which should
guide their public relations, and others
who are loyal to truth everywhere ex
cept in their homes. But whoever is
imbued with the spirit of truthfulness
springs to receive it, to learn from it,
to practice it, and to diffuse it from
whatever quarter it may come, and
whatever be the lesson which it brings.
It is so precious to him that, whatever
stands in its way and hinders its ap
proach is willingly surrendered, what
ever personal loss he may sustain. lie
is loyal to it, not only holding it firmly
and courageously, but obeying its be
hests. Every truth has a mission of its
own, and regulates the lives of its faith
ful adherents, improving and elevating
them. To believe aright is much; to
act up to those beliefs is more; while
he who does both joyfully manifests
the spirit of truthfulness.
How this spirit may be infused into
those who possess it not, and how it
may be animated and strengthened in
all,, are problems worthy of thought.
Probably nothing could have a more
powerful effect upon social, domestic
and individual welfare than the wide
spread diffusion of this spirit. It un
derlies all honest and faithful work,
all social confidence, all right fulfill
ment of relations, all independence and
self-respect. For he who is faithful to
the truth is faithful to himself and
others. The more these effects can be
and that can only be infused by
those who are themselves inspired by
it. St. Paul tells us that “charity (or
love) rejoicetli in the truth.” May we
all strive to attain that love and that
joy.
She Knew Him.
Detroit Free Press.
“You know the defendant in this
case, do you?” asked a Kansas lawyer
of a female native of the soil.
“Know which ?” she asked.
“The defendant, Jake Lynch.”
“Do I know Jake Lynch ?”
“Yes.”
“You want to know if I know Jake
Lynch ? well, if that ain’t a good one.
Why, mister, the Lynch family an’—”
“Can’t you say yes or no ?”
“Why, Jake Lynch’s mother an’ my
step-dad’s father was once first cous
ins, an’—”
“Then you know him ?”
“Why, Jake Lynch? Me know Jake
Lynch ? You’re a stranger in these
parts, ain’t you ?”
“That has nothing to do with the
case. If you know Jake Lynch, say
so.”
“If I know him ! Lemme tell you
that Jake Lynch’s birthday and my
brother Hiram’s is on the same day,
an’ ”
“You know him, of course, then ?”
“Who—Jake Lynch? Ask Jake if I
know him ! Ask him if he was ever in-
terdooced to Betty Skelton.”
“I don’t care to ask him anything.
I simply want to ask you if Jake Lynch
is known to you personally.”
“Pussonly ? "Well, I don’t know
what you mean by ‘pussonly,’ but if
you want to know if I know Jake an if
he knows me, I can tell you in mighty
few words. Jake Lynch s fathei an
my father ”
“Xow, 1 want you to say ‘yes’ or
‘no.’ ”
“Thought you wanted me to say if I
knew Jake Lynch.”
“That’s just what I do want.”
“Well, then, lemme alone an’ I’ll
tell you all about it. Jake Lynch was
born in Injeeany an’ I was born in the
same county an’—”
“And of course you know him?”
“Who—Jake Lynch ? Do I know
Jake Lynch, when the very hoss he rid
here on was one he traded my man a
span of young steers for ? Why, man,
Jake’s wife was Ann Elizy Skiff, an’
her an’ me is the same age to a day
an’—”
“That will do. I see that you do
know him.”
“Know him? Know Jake? Why,
man—”
“That will do.”
“Why, I was married on a Chewsday
an’ Jake was married the next day, an’
his oldest boy an’ my oldest girl is most
the same age, an,—”
“That will do.”
publican, he turned himself loose and
uncorking the vials of his wrath, began
a lurid arraignment of Christianity for
its superstitious teachings and unfound
ed claims to divine origin. “What has
Christianity ever done for Illinois?” he
demanded of his astonished, but elec
trified, fellow-passengers.
Hardly a moment intervened be
tween the question and the cutting an
swer, which came in a shrill voice a few
seats away: “It kept Bob Iugersoll
from being Governor of Illinois,” said
the voice, which belonged to a little
woman whose quick wit and boldness
at once won profoundest admiration.
The great infidel was crushed. The
answer was too painfully true for him,
and he dignifiedly sought the seclusion
of another coach, followed by the
laughter of the passengers.
The little woman was the hero of
the hour.
Democratic National Convention.
The first Democratic National Con
vention met in 1832. Previously to that
time each party informally selected its
most conspicuous man as a candidate
for the Presidency, or a choice of nom
inee was made by a caucus of the par
ty’s members in Congress or in the va
rious State Legislatures. In 1S32 the
the system of delegate conventions was
put in operation, and this principle, in
its leading features, has been in opera
tion ever since among the prominent
political organizations. The following
table shows the dates of the national
conventions of the Democratic party,
the places at which they were held and
the candidates they put in the field.
The date and place of the conventions
are appended:

IMPURE BLOOD.
A Case in Florida Cured by li. B. B.

Railroad Superstitions.
Buffalo News.
“Talk about superstitions! Railroad
men are as superstitious as they make
them,” remarked an old engineer as lie
was oiling his engine. “I have as much
faith in my machine as I have in a hu
man being, and she acts as crankily
sometimes. Oh, yes, she has her spells.
Sometimes she will make steam like a
daisy. At other times she won’t steam
at all. I can’t account for it. There’s
lots of superstitions among the boys,
and you can bet they believe in them
strongly. Take that which gives three
accidents following one after another;
everybody believes that.
“I’ll tell you a peculiar circumstance,
though. On the Erie they had an old
engine years ago known as the 222. She
had the reputation of being the worst
man-killer on the road and hardly a
week passed that she didn’t have an ac
cident to add to her record. The men
became so much afraid of her that they
refused to work on her, and the officials
were in a quandary. At last in despair
they sent lier to the Susquehanna shops,
rebuilt her, changed her number and
turned her loose on the eastern end of
the road. She kept up the same capers
until she got as bad a reputation as
she had before. Men refused to work
with her, and one day it leaked out
that she was the old 222. That settled
it; nobody cared for a place on her. A
short time afterward she was ditched
and injured so badly that, she was al
most in pieces. No effort was made
to put her together again, and she was
consigned to the scrap heap. Her
brasses, etc., were gradually used up
until the mere shell was left, when she
was sold as old iron.”
Don’t Experiment.
You cannot afford to waste time in
experimenting when your lungs are in
danger. Consumption always seems,
at first, only a cold. Do not permit
any dealer to impose upon you with
some cheap imitation of Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds, but be sure you get
the genuine. Because] he can make
more profit he may tell you be has
something just as good, or just the
same. Don’t be deceived, but insist up
on getting Dr. King’s New Discovery,
which is guaranteed to give relief in
all Throat, Lung and Chest affections.

THE WORLD CHALLENGED. -
To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Remedy,. B. B. B., we make bold to
claim the following special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market: 1. That it consists c
0 f the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies has never
been equaled in any medicine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can be felt sooner than by the use of
any other remedy. 4. It takes less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are
willin'* for B B B to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood
remedy we simply invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it.
They are eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say : Inquire of your
neighbor who has tried our great remedy. Here are the certificates :
A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years With Rheumatism
and Now Entirely Well. ,
I have been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; had, gotten so I could scarcely
walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At
aight could not sleep for the excruciating
pain. The bone in one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and I feared that amputation
would be necessary. After trying many dn-
ferent patent medicines claiming to cure
rheumatism and other complaints, I was al
most discouraged until about two weeks ago,
when 1 had to give up business, Mr. W. J.
Willingham, of vour city, hearing of my com
plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and
assured me of his confidence in it as a cure
for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot
tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having
much faith in it, or in anything else; but,
thank God, I am very muen relieved, and I
firmly believe I will get entirely well. The
swelling has gone down and I am in no pain
whatever. Am at work again, and have been
tor several days. Can run up and down the
stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever. 1
thank you for this earthly salvation to me.
I write without your solicitation, or any
knowledge of you, except through your med
icine. I write because I feel grateful for what
has been done for me. 1 am yours, very
truly, W. A. Moore,
Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn.
If anv one should doubt a« to my being
cured, or as to my statements, I refer them to
the firm I am with and have been with for
many years; Mr Phillip Young, of Chatta
nooga; Mr. Hamilton, foreman of carpentry,
with W. L. & Co., Chattanooga; Dr. Acre, of

SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE.
Clover Bottom, Sullivan County Tenn.,
June 20,1887.—Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, (Ja.—
Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you
forsome time to let you know of the wonder
ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself
and daughter. She, a girl of 16 years, was
taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I
used about 30 bottles of other medicine to no
purpose. The doctors said the only remedy
left was amputation. That we all were op
posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan
uary, 1887, and while buying a bill of drugs
called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Chamberland & Co. recommended
the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot
tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using
three or four bottles, my gin’s leg was entire
ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore
on tlie calf of my leg and one bottle cured it,
after trying all other remedies. I wish you
much success, and I do hope that all suffering
humanity may hear and believe in the only
true blood purifier. I have tried three or four
blood purifiers, but the B.B.B. is the only one
that ever did me or mine any good. You can
use my name if you wish. I am well kuowu
in this and Washington county, also all over
Virginia. R. S. Elsom.
BLOOM TAINT FROM BIRTH.
Booneville, Ind., January 27, 1887.
I shall ever praise tlie day ttiat you gentle
men were born, and shall b'ess the day that
your medicine was known to me. I had Wood
poison from birth, and so much so that all
the doctors of my town said I would be crip
pled for life. They said I would lose my low
er limb. I could not stand in my class to re
cite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your
Balm cured me sound and well. You can use
my name as you see fit. Iu my case there
were knots on my shinbones as large as a
hen’s egg. Yours, Miktle M. Tanner.
A GOOD EXPERIMENT.
Meridian, Miss., July 12, 1887.
For a number of years I have suffered un
told agonies from the effects of blood poison.
I had my case treated by several prominent
physicians, and recived but little, if any relief.
1 resorted to all sorts of patent medicines,
spending a large amount of money but getting
no better. My attention was attracted by th:i
cures said fo have been effected by B. B. B.,
and I began taking it merely as a experiment,
having but little faith in the ultimate results.
To my utter surprise I soon commenced to
improve, and deem myself to-day a well and
hearty man—all owing to the excellent qual
ities of B. B. B. I cannot commend it too
highly to those suffering from blood poison.

For the Citizens of Tyler and Smith
County, as Uttered by John M.
Adams, of the Firm ofMcCay
& Adams, Druggists.
I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for
a number of years, and in that time have had
occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect
of nea rly all! he Ixi ghly recom mended prepar
ation-or patent medic nes on the market, as
I h ive suffered untold misery myself, the past
number of years, from a severe form of in
flammatory rheumatism, and could find
lmtliing to cure or relieve me. I had almost
drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines
were more or less frauds until about one year
ago, I was induced by a friend now living in
Tyler to try a preparation known as 3 B., or
Botanic Blood Balm, and after a long per
suasion on his part, I finally made up my
mind to make one more effort to rid myself
of the terrible affliction; and now it affords
me the greatest pleasure of my liie to state to
the citizens of Smith county that l am entire
ty cuv^d, with no traces of the disease left,
and all effected by the magic healing proper
ties of B. B. B., which I consider the grand
est, purest, and most powerful blood remedy
known to man. I have been subject to in
flammatory attacks since ten years of age,
and up to the present time have had four, j
The last spell came on me in November, 1885, j
over a year ago, at which lime I was confined J
to my bed for eight weeks, passing the nights
in misery, with no sleep except when produc
ed by narcotics and various opiates. Tne
week previous to using B. B. B. up to that
time 1 had only r eaten six meals and could
scarcely sit up without support; but after us
ing three bottles I was able to relish my
rneals aud to walk up town, andaftersix bot
tles had been ifeed, thank heaven, I was en
tirely cured, aud not the slightest pain felt
since that time. When I returned to business
in February my weight was 145 pounds, but
gradually increased until my regular weight
was again attained, 210pounds. The noticea
ble fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is,
that this unparalleled and remarkable dis
covery B. B. B. cured me in mid-winter, at
the very time my sufferings and misery were
tlie greatest. I lake it on my'self as a practi
cal druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as
conscientiously, recommend this glorious
blood remedy to all sufferers from rheuma
tism or bicod troubles, ami not only myself,
but the firm of McKay & Adams, who handle
it. will cheenully indorse its superior merits.

IT REMOVED THE PIMPLES.
Round Mountain, Tex., March 29,1887.
A lady friend of mine has for several years
been troubled with bumps and ; impleson her
face and neck, for which she used various
cosmetics in order to remove theffi and beau
tify and improve her complexion; but these
local applications were only temporary arid
left her skin in a worse condition.
I recommended an internal application—
known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have
been using and selling about two years; she
used three bottles and nearly all pimples
have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth
and her general health much improved. She
expresses herself as well satisfied and can
recommend it to all who are thus affected.

‘I GAVE UP TO DIE.’
Knoxville, Tenn., July 2, 1887.
I have had catarrh of the head for nearly
six years. I went to a noted doctor and lie
treated me for it, but could not cure me, lie
said. I was over fifty years of age and I gave
up to die. I had a distressing cough; ray
eyes were swollen and I am confident I could
not have lived without a change. I sent and
got a bottle of your medicine, used it, and
felt better. Then I got four more, and thank
God! it cured me. Use this any way you
may wish for the good of sufferers.

TBIED FIVE DOCTORS.
Hawkinsville, Ga., Feb. 26, 1887.
This is to certify that my wife has been in
bad health for eight years. After trying five
doctors and six or seven different patent
medicines, six bottles of your B. B. B. has
cured her. James W. Lancaster.
Alapaha, Ga., June 22, 1887.—B. B. B.
Company, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen : I had
suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia
for over fifteen years, and during that
time tried everything I could hear of, and
spent over three hundred dollars in doctor’s
bills, without receiving the slightest benefit,
Indeed, i continued to grow worse. Finally,
after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend
recommended B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm)
and I began usingit; not, however,expecting
to be benefited. After using half a bottle I
was satisfied I was being benefited, and when
tlie sixth bottle was used I felt like a new
man. I would not take $1,000 for the good it
has done me; in fact, the relief that 1 derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would
have died had I not taken it.
Respectfully, THOMAS PAULK.
