Their stories are widely differ

Commission at the outset of its

that the record of malfeasance

The special taxation bill of

to induce men of wealth to go

We have profited by the les

Nearly thirty MmbyA'jftg
years ago, an -T# 3 **
institution was
founded in Buffalo. N. Y., known as the
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute,
which has since become one of the most
famous institutions in the world for its
enormous benefits to the sick and suffering
all over the United States. Thousands
have come there for treatment and tens of
thousands have received professional ad
vice by mail with suggestions for inexpen
sive home-treatment, whereby they have
been cured of severe, and in many in
stances, apparently hopeleas diseases.
A Massachusetts man. Mr. John Brooks, of
Boylston. Worcester Co., writea " About a year

After taking it four months I heard of your
'Golden Medical Discovery,’ and wrote to you
for advice. I have taken your medicine aud it
saved my life. I felt so sick when I wrote to
you that I thought I would not live through the
winter. In the morning 1 raised an awful lot

chest. My Bowels would not move more than
once or twice a week; my strength was nearly
gone; I could not do a whole day's work Now,

more pain in nty chest. I feel a geeat deal

those which are aggravated by constipatioq.

TO CURE A COUGH.
Horace Greeley said: “The way
.to resume is to resume,” arid the
; Augusta Chronicle Hiys “the way
i not to cough is i>< t to cough ”
I “Everyone has noticed.” says the
! Chronicle. “how the coughing of
one person iii church, cr in any
other assemblage, starts everybody
ehe who has a semb ance of a
cough. Misery loves c< iupany,bai
will not stand competition, and
when our neighbor in church
coughs we immediately follow sui'
ito see how our cough compares
with otr neighbor's. A, B and C
do i be atiine thing, each one plum
i ing himself on the merits of his
own cough, and pretty soon the
speaker finds himself talking
against a coughing match, and
trying to get in his effective son
tencr.s in the intervals of silenc"
between coughs. This 's especial
ly noticeable in a school, children
manifesting as much rivalry in the
volume of their coughing as they
do in they display of i-oro toes or
cut sing <rs .
•“In his own family circle and
in the Bunday school with wlr'ch
he is associated the writer has fre
quently directed children to swal
low when they feel the impulse to
cough, and pretty soon it will leave
them, while it they cough it will
simply make necessary another
and another. This was a theory
evolved from his own observation
and experience, without medical
authority, but the writer is glad to
seethe following endorsement of it
from the Scientific American:
A physician who is connected
with an institution in which there
are many children, says: “There
is ncthing more irritable to a
cough than coughing For some
time I had been so fully assured
of this that I determined for one
minute at least to lessen the num
ber of coughs heard in a certain
ward in a hospital of the instution
By the promise of rewaids and
punishment I succeeded in induc
ing them simply to hold their
breath when t-mpted to c ugh,
and in a little while I was my sell
surprised to see how some of the
children entirely recovered from
the disease. Constant coughing i*
precisely like scratching a wound
on the outside ot the hody, so long
as it is done the wound will nut
heal. Let a person when tempted
to cough draw a Jong breath and
bold it until it warms and soothes
tvery air cell, and some benefit
will soon be perceived from this
process. Th» nitr-gen which is
thus confined acts as an anodyne
i to the mucuos membrane, allaying
! the desire to dough, and giving
the throat and a chance to
heal.
This is a common sei.se sugges
tion. and if our ministers would
make it occasionally to thei r cough
it g congregations they wou'd so
cure a much more peaceful and
pleasing service. Not only is it a
good thing to practice in a crowd,
but it is useful as a personal ex
periment. If you have a cough try
it.
