Ayer’s Cathartic Pills wore designed to supply a model purgative to people who had so long injured themselves with griping medicines. Being carefully prepared and their in¬ gredients adjusted to the exact necessities of the bowels and liver, their popularity was in¬ stantaneous. That this popu¬ larity has been maintained is well marked in the medal awarded these pills at the World’s Fair 1893. 50 Years of Cures.

My Dear Sir:— I have ju.si learned from the last papers that i am indebted to von for the in¬ troduction in tire house of repre¬ sentatives of the resolutions ex¬ tending In me the thanks of con¬ gress for the naval engagement of Manila 1. 1 need hardly to tell, you that lam most sincerely grateful to you as ihe author of the resolu¬ tion, bringing as it does the high : est honor that can come to an A merican naval officer in his pro¬ fessional career, But if is a great pleasure to acknowledge my debt of gratitude and to thank you in unstinted measure for the part you took in obtaining for me the great distillation. It is a source of additional pleas ure to me, a Vermonter, that the mover of resolution Was not a man from the Nort h, but one from the far South. This is one of the' good signs of the times, In the hour or danger there is no South, no North, but one one united conn t ry. May we never hear of section¬ alism again. There are no lines drawn in the navy. I need not say it may interest you know that my Mag lieutenant, Lieut-. Brumby is a Georgian by ’birth and ap¬ pointment thanking . Again you most cor¬ dially, I remain very gratefully and sincerely, “George Dewey.” KNOB LOCALS. Weal'd glad to boo the beautiful sunshine again.
