Headache Caused by Poor Ven

Many persons on coming from church
complain of headache. This is caused
by the action of the impure blood on

upon the brain and nervous system is
very aptly illustrated . by the drowsy,
listless attitude of the scholars in a poor

with the bright' and animated appear

It is not always necessary to have teeth

In a case of slight sore throat, let a

tongue, and allowed to dissolve and run
down the throat.

A new and apparently effective
method of treating consumption is now
attracting the notice of physicians.; It
is by injecting remedies directly into the

The needle is passed through the walls
of clie chest, ana it is the aim to bring
the remedies as near the affected spot in
the lungs as possible. Some very good
results are reported, carbohzed iodine
having appeared to work to the best ad
vantage.

Longevity of Famous Statesmen.
- The longevity of famous statesmen is
remarkable. Imagine Lord Palmerston
acting, vigorously as Prime/Minister of.
England when over eighty, governing
the vast- British Empire with 'steady
hand, making speeches three.hours long
in the House of Commons, and rising
next day fresh as a man of forty! Think
of the venerable^ ui/iot, the. French states
man, who, at the age of eighty-seven,
was still writing histories, presidingovet
religious conventions, and carrying on
lively discussions in the French Acad
emy.
The late Lord I.yndhurst made able
speeches in the House of Lords when he
had pas ed his ninetieth year; and his
long-time rival, Lord Brougham, wrote
hh autobiography, in three goodly vol
ume's, when he had nearly reached ninety
years.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, who, as
Lord li,en y Petty, was a leading mem
ber of the ‘All the Talents” Cabinet, of
which Charles Jam/s'Fo x was the chief,
in .180(5, w'a-s still an active member of
the House of Lords nearly sixty years
later, in 1863. and died in that year at
the age of eighty-three.
The Duke of vVellington took part in
public affairs until his death in I8.)3, in
his eighty-third year.
In former generations energetic states
men of advanced years are found thickly
scattered through the pages of history.
There was’ll ! old Marquis of Winchester,
who could remember. Edward I V., the
first York sovereign, and who, when he
died, at. the age: , of ninety-seven, was
holding office under Queen Elizabeth.'.
As to the Presidents of the. United
States, it is a familiar fact that John
Ad ms and Thomas Jefferson, the sec- .
ond and third Presidents, both died the

A Story of the Princess of Wales.
A pretty story is told about the Prin

among other ‘ ■invites,” was a provincial
Mayor, win had the honor of being in
troduced to the pretty Princess. The
tale goes,, and the truth of it is vouched
fo/. that upon his worship asking, against
all' rules of etiquette, the Princess to
grant him a dance, she replied With a
touch Of delicate humor: “I do not
know whether you will not be rather
afraid; some of my children are only

BaBread Men Who Obey Omeno-The Whit*
Rabbit—A Filet’* Story.
“ Railroad engineers, as a rule, are a
superstitious class of persons,” said an ,
old railroad man. “They have foolish
fancies and attach importance to signs
and warnings; but I know of instances
where hundreds of lives have been saved
by engineers’ fancies and superstitions.
For over thirty years I have been a rail
road conductor, and during that time I
have seen and heard many things that
under ordinary circumstances I would
have discredited. One of the best en
gineers that ever ran on the West Shore
, Railroad was a man named Bronson.
One. morning, just before starting time,
while he sat chatting with the fireman,
the engine bell suddenly rang gut three
times. As neither the engineer nor fire
man, had touched the bell, and as no
(other person was on or around the engine,
the men felt troubled over the strange
circumstance. They regarded it as an
ill omen and both men were filled with
dread. 1 he train started on its journey,
and. mile after mile was quickly traveled,
the engineer meanwhile keeping an
anxious lookout for danger. When
within about an eighth of & mile of a
rocky cut, the bell again, apparently of
its own accord, sounded three ominous
notes, clear and distinct. he engineer
beside himself with terror, exclaimed:
‘ My God, Bill 1 It’s a warning of some
great danger, and I believe it’s our duty
to stop. I’m Mi to shut her down if
I lose my place by it.’ The engine came
to a sudden standstill, and within ten
feeit of the engine, lying across the track
W8is a great rock several tons in weight,
which had become loosened by a recent
storm, and broken away from the great
mass above. A terrible calamity was
averted and hundreds of lives saved.
“ And now I’ll tell you of another in
stance,” continued the same speaker, “of
how an engineer lost his life by not heed
ing a voice of warning. One of the most
careful and trusted engineers on our road
was James Welch. One morning his wife
noticed that he was not in his usual
cheerful frame of mind, and questioned
him about it. He told her that he was
not ill, but he said he had a premonition
that he would be killed during the day.
His wife, being a sensible woman, did
not sneer or laugh at his fears, begged
him to stay at home that day. Welch,
who was a disbeliever in signs and
omens, laughed at his fancies and went
to his death. Two hours later the en
gineer was lying, crushed to death, at
the bottom of a deep ravine.”
“Yes, I know such things to be true,”
said another man. * Silly as it may
seem, I wouldn’t run a tram after see
ing a white rabbit cross the track, with
out first stopping to investigate, if I
were to fee made president of the road.
I remember one dark night we were
scooting across country at a pretty lively
rate, when all of a sudden, I saw a white
rabbit dart across the track just in front
of the engine. The wee thing gave me
such a look in that brief second that
something compelled me to stop the
train. J he conductor and train men
came rushing up to the engine to find
out the cause of our sudden halt, and it
didn’t take long to find ouTeither. Only
a few feet ahead on the track were some
heavy logs.. They had most likely been
placed there and tied down by tramps,
who in the confusion of a frightful ac
cident, such as would have taken place
if l hadn’t stopped the train, would
have robbed and plunderei the dead
and dying passengers.”
Making a Mandarin to Order.
A LEGAL QUESTION.
UaMlIty for Bouts of 8&»o» © »•(•>
Not only is the owner of a dog liable
for its acts, but any one who harbors it
or allows it upon his premises is also
liable. But a person is not responsible
for the acts of a dog which he tries tb
drive away from his premises, or for
those of a dog allowed to remain tem
porarily there, as in the case of one who
keeps boarders and allows them to keep
a dog on the premises; but in that case
the owner of the dog is liable. The laws
with regard to liability for injury done
by dogs to Sheep vary considerably in
the different states. In Vermont, New
York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ohio,
California, Tennessee, Alabama, Minne
sota, Oregon, Illinois, New , Jersey and
Mississippi the statutes expressly pro
vide that any person may kill a dog
found worrying or injuring sheep. In
Michigan any person may without rend
ering himself liable to civil- or criminal
action, kill a dog he ,may see chasing,
worrying, wounding, or killing sheep,
•wine, cattle, or any other domestic an
imal. In Maryland the owner of a dog
is exempted from liability for sheen
killed, if he kills tge dog immediately
on receiving notice of injury, but if he
fails to do so, the owner of the sheep
may kill the dog and recover double
damages. In New Hampshire and Mas
sachusetts the owner of any domestic
animal, and in Wisconsin the owner of
any sheep or lambs, may recover from
the town for any injury inflicted by a
dog. If (he chooses, the owner of the
injured animal may sue the owner of the
dog, instead of claiming damages from
Hie town; but if he prefers to prove his
loss to the town supervisors, ana accepts
an order on the town treasurer for the
amount, the claim is transferred to the
town, which may recover against the
owner of the dog; but the owner of
the sheep cannot thereafter recover
against him. In Rhode Island the first
time a dog worries a sheep the owner
can recover damages from the person who
harbors or owns the dog. If after the
first notice the dog is still allowed to
live, and injures sheep again, his owner;
is liable for double damages, and the
court may order the animal killed. In
Alabama, Ca ifornia, Vermont, and Wis.
consin double damages Can also be re
covered. In Connecticut whoever has
lost by dogs worrying or killing his
sheep must give notice to the town
selectmen, and these may sue the owner
or harbprer of the offending dog, and
unless the sheep owner isreimbtifsed/by
the suit, the town becomes liable for the
damages. To provide a fund to meet
this liability, dogs are licensed, and the
license fees are held to meet such
claims.
When several dogs belonging to dif
ferent owners unite in committing mis
chief, at common law, each owner is
liable only for the acts of his own ani
mal. 'i here would naturally be consid
erable difficulty in ascertaining the ex
tent of the injury done by each dog, but
the jury can adopt any reasonable rule
for ascertaining the damages. If the an
imals are of unequal size, and have dif
ferent capacities for mischief; the jury
may fake into consideration the damage
done by each in approximating the lia
bilities of the owners. By statute how
ever, in Connecticut, Vermont and Ohio,
the several owners of dogs.that unite in
mischief, are jointly (liable therefor;
while in Pennsyl vania, each owner is li
able for f lip vvhoia in jury ill the doing of
which his Gog~ was jointly engaged.—

INJUSTICE CORRECTED.
0nv)Mli| Terlflcatton of Widecast Fubllo
Statements.
To tub Readers of this Paper.
In common with many publishers and
editors, we have been accustomed to look
upon certain statements which we have seen
in our columns as merely adroit advertising.
Consequently we feel justified in taking
the liberty of printing a few points from a
private letter recently received from one of
our largest patrons, as a sort of confession
of faith to our readers. We quote:
“We have convinced ourselves that by tell
ing what we know to be true, we have pro
duced at last & permanent Conviction in the
public mind. Seven, years ago wo stated
what the national disease of this country was,
and that it was rapidly increasing. Three
years ago we stated that a marked check had
been given it,
“The statistics of one of the largest life in
surance.companies of this .country shows that,
m 1(883 and 1884, the mortality from, kidney
disorders did not increase Over the prev ious
years ; other companies stated the same thing.
It is not presumptuous for us to claim credit
for checking these ravages.
“Seven years ago we stated that the condi
tion of the kidneys was the key to the condi
tion of health; within the past five years all
careful life insurance companies have( con
ceded the truth of this statement, for, where
as, ten years ago, chemical analysis to deter
mine the condition of the kidneys was not
required, to-day millions of dollars in risks
are refused, because chemical examination
diseovers unsuspected diseases of the kid
neys.’
“Seven years ago we stated that the Rav
ages of Bright’s Disease were insignificant
compared with other unsuspected disorders
of the kidneys of many misleading names ;
that ninety-three per cent of human ail
ments are attributable to deranged kidneys,
which fills the blood with uric acid, or kid
ney poison, which causes these many fatal
diseases.
. , “The uric acid, or kidney poison, is the real
cause of the majority of eases of paralysis,
apoplexy, heart disease, convulsions, pneumo
nia, consumption, and insanity; over half
.the victims of consumption are first the vic
tims of diseased kidneys.
“When the recent death of an honored ex-
official of the United States Was announced,
his physician said: that although he was suf
fering from Bright’s Disease, that was not
the cause of death. He Was not frank enough
to admit that the apoplexy which overtook
him in his bed, was the fatal effect of the
kidney poison of the blood, which had eaten
away the substance of the arteries and
brain; nor was Logan’s physician honest
enough to state that his fatal rheumatism
was caused by kidney aeid in the blood.
“If the doctors would state in Official re
ports the original cause of death, the people
of this country would Lie alarmed, yea,
nearly panic stricken, at the fearful mortal
ity from kidney disorders.” -
A Merited Rebuke.
John Jacob Astor was determined to
send a ship to China in spite of the em-
bargo of 1807-9. The astonishment ol
the ship owners of New York, whose
vessels were lying idle in the docks,
may be imagined when they read in the
Commercial Advert «<?>• of August 13,
1808, this piece of shipping news:
“Yesterday the ship 1 eaver, Captain
Galloway, sailed for China.” •
Everybody knew that the ship Beaver
was owned by John Jacob Astor, The
other merchants of the city were natu
rally- indignant when they heard that
Mr. Astor had been so highly favored.
At last it was discovered that he had a
“special permission from the President
of tne United States for his ship Beaver,
navigated by thirty seamen, ostensibly
to carry home to Canton a great Chi
nese mandarin.” It was said that
Astor had picked up a Chinaman in
the park, dressed him to fit the man
darin story, secured the presidential,per
mit, and despatched his ship before the
story got abroad. A rival merchant
wrote to President Jefferson, informing
him that the Chinese mandarin was
no mandarin SK all, but only a com
mon Chinese dock loafer. The writer
further suggested that, if the govern
ment had given the permit under a mis
understanding, the error should be cor
rected, and-the honor of the adminis
tration vindicated by punishing the
offender Mr. Aster’s friends called up
on him th t night and Congratulated him
upon the success of liis enterprise, and
they had a hearty laugh over the affair.-
He could well afford to laugh at the
result of his brilliant coup, for the
Beaver made so successful a voyage
that she returned to New York the fol
lowing year with $2,000,000 more than
she carried away. —Boston Commercial

She was a decently dressed woman, but
apparently of humble station, and she
carried several, clumsy bundles, which
were evidently a -serious; annoyance to

no effort to conceal her vexation, but in
the most conspicuous manner showed the
passengers arounaher that she consider
ed it an impertinent intrusion for the
new-comer to presume to sit down beside
her. In a few moments the old woman,
depositing her packages upon the seat,
went across the car to speak to an ac
quaintance she discovered on the oppo
site side of the aisle. The lawyer leaned
forward to the offended young lady and
courteously asked if she would change
seats with him. A smile of gratified,
vanity showed how pleased she was to

diminished deference of manner; “its

but the old lady’s.”—Bo..ton Record.
The writers of the above letter give these
facts to the public simply to justify the
claims that they have made, that “if the
kidneys and liver are kept in a healthy con
dition by the use of ’Warner’s safe cure,

and America, many a life would be pro

ent diseases because It and it alone, can re
move the uric acid from the blood through
the kidneys. ”

The Allentown (Penn.) Register tell*
this story:—A well-known manufacturer
of this city—it isn’t necessary to give his
name—finds it necessary to employ a
double team to do his hauling. For
several years he kept two horses, and
while they did their work well he sud
denly concluded to dispose of them and
buy a pair of mules instead. He says
that after the horses had done their
day’s or week’s work he was continually
annoyed by some of his friends or em
ployees asking for the use of the horses
to take pleasure drives. (Not caring to
offend them he frequently acceeded , to
their requests, while all the time his better
judgment told him that it was rough on
the horses, which by their honest work
were entitled to their just rest. This
thing went on for awhile and our friend
was pondering by day and by night how
he could bring about a phange. It oc
curred to him one day that mules were
not very popular for pleasure driving
purposes, but that they answered every
other purpose of horses—in fact were in
several respects preferable for his own
use. So be concluded to sell his, horses j
and get a mule team. ( His plan worked j
admirably, and the other day he informed i
us that since he got the-mules he hasn't i
been asked,(Once for their use by his j
friends or employes.
Something that will Interest the Afflicted.
(From the Weekly Record, Dundee, N, T,)
There are many people in this country who j
are suffering untold agony from the ravages
of diseases, who have been medicated until j
the very sound of the-word “medicine” sends j
a thrill of horror through their sensitive !
organism, and yet they are still looking— j
looking for something that will prove a bene
fit to their shattered constitution and restore
to them their health. To this.class of sufferers
the Record, without solicitation, desires to
say a few words, not with the intent to ad
vertise a man who to-day is. doing more for (
this class of sufferers than pen can describe,
but because we know, not only from personal
experience, but from the experience of
others, that what we are about to
say in regard to Dr. Kilmer, of Bingham- ,
ton, N. Yi, and his Herbal Remedies are
facts, and it is a pleasure to let the sufferer
know that there is a Medicine that has done,
and is still doing so much lasting benefit to
the afflicted. Dr. Kilmer has been repre
sented in the advertising columns of the
Record for over two years, and during that
period we have received many communica-
tionp asking if hisl Remedies were as repre
sented, and have always felt that we could
safely recommend them. Dr. Kilmer is one
of the best-read Physicians of the present
day. He probably (has the largest practice
and examines and treats personally more pa
tients at his large and fully equipped office
in Binghamton yearly, than any other phy
sician in the country.
These Herbal Remedies which he sends out
are prepared and prescribed by him in his
own private practice. Their component parts
are carefully selected from Nature’s great
laboratory, and are compounded in a scien
tific manner so as to be especially adapted to
the different forms of diseases for which they
are used. They are the result of years of
hard, patient study of the science of medi
cine.'
There seems to be at the present time a ten
dency toward a great many Kidney, Liver
and Bladder troubles with the people of this
country, and we wish to speak more particu
larly about Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Cure. \Ve will say
on the outset, we are not writing sensational
“gush” for Dr. Kilmer, but knowing person
ally as we do, of many important cures,
wrought from the use of this medicine, we
believe it to be our duty to the afflicted to en
courage them to avail themselves of the uss
of this valuable Remedy.
We know a Mr, Chas. E, Roe, of Union-
ville, Steuben Co., N. Y/ who had Bright’s
disease, and was told by the best Physicians
of Hornellsvilie, N. Y., that there was no
hope for him, who was prevailed upon by
a friend to try Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root
Kidney Cure. He did so, without the least
idea of being-benefited,. but; the., result was
most; gratifying to himself and family, .for
he Was cured. Saved from death by (that
dreadful disease. / Another’ case,' that of
Russell S’andford, of ./Wayne, Steuben Co.,
who had a terrible bowel difficulty which
would not yield to the medical skill of good
doctors, who, at our own solicitation, tried
Swaittp-Ryot, andhe told us after using sev
eral bottles his trouble was removed, al
though he had no control over his bowels for
a year previous to using, the medicine and
had been told that he would never be any
better, and that his earthly career was
limited. Our , druggists here in Dundee
tell us they have sold hundreds of bottles
of this medicine and in no instance
have they ever heard aught but praise
from the persons using it. We might men
tion sqores of similar cases that, to our own
personal knowledge, have been helped out of
serious trouble by using Swamp-R6ot. We
hope it will help some one, and we have no
fears of the result of a trial, by any one who
is suffering with a Kidney, Liver or Blad
der trouble. “It is Worth its weight in gold.”

If you have made up your mind to buy Hood’s Sar
saparilla do not be induced to taka any other.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is a peculiar medicine, possess
ing, by virtue of its peculiar combination, proportion
and preparation, curative power superior to any
other article of the kind before the people. Be sure'
to get Hood’s.
. “I had been taking Hood’s SarasaparUla for dys
pepsia, and in one store where I tried to buy a bottle
the clerk tried to induce me to buy their own In
stead of Hood's; he told me their’s would last
longer; that I might take it on ten days’ trial; that
if I did not like it I need not pay anything, etc* But
I told him I knew what Hood’s Sarsaparilla was, I
had taken it, it agreed with me, I was perfectly sat
isfied with Hood's Sarsaparilla, and did not want any
other. I am always glad to speak a good word for
this excellent medicine.”—Mas. Ella A. Gow, fl
