SUPERIORITY. Not Equality, but true Superiority over all other Blood Remedies. Mercury enters into the composition of many blood medicines, while with others iodide of potash is the principal ingre dient. Both these substances are poisons, and while in some instances they lessen the severity of the ravages of blood poison, their use in the end are more hurtful than otherwise. Bear in mind Dr. John Bull's Sarsaparilla is strictly a veg etable compound, yet its effect on blood DON'T USE filled with poisonous germ matter is like water on the forked tongues of a flaming fire. It subdues the evil instantly, even when other medicines have failed. Again, Bull's Sarsaparilla is frequently used after the system has become poisoned by the use 'of mercury and potash. It quickly eliminates these mineral poisons from the system, thus preventing and curing mer curial rheumatism, potash sores, etc. In all syphilitic and scrofulous affections, Bull's Sarsaparilla is a true panacea. The sequnel of blood poison, such as salt rheum, emma, king's evil, scald head, boils, carbuncles, itch, sores, rheumatism, neuralgia, etc., all permanently disappear if the use of Bull's Sarsaparilla is con tinued a sufficient length of time. MEROURY W. A. Smith, Paducah, Ky., writes: "I was down sick with malarial fever for over a month. The doctor gate me too much calpinel and mercury, and when I begat to get better rheumatism set in, and my left leg was made crooked. j thought I would be A cripple for life, but an acquaint ance got me to use Bull's Sarsaparilla,which gave me strength and cured my rheuma tism, and now my leg is nearly straight again and I walk on it very readily." AND POTASH. R. B. Walton, Cairo, Ill. writes: "I ex perienced the horrors of blood poison for four lopg years. I had three running sorbe on i oy as large as wy hand that would ievar Beal, and over a dozen smaller ones. My hair and eye-brows and whiskers all came out and I looked like a perfect scare crow. I became discouraged trying medl cine, but at a last bipe tried gull's Sarsapa rilla. The use of 28 bottles made me well; but there are scars on my body that look like they had been burns." SW Children like Dr. John Bull's Worm Destroyers. They taste good and never fall to remove worms if there are any. Price 25 cents. Try them. W "The demand for Smith's Tonic Syrup is unequalled by any other chill medicine made. My sales are immense." P. J. Dreher, Leesourg, Ill. Jonx D.

BUR Proeedings of the Parish Democratic Committee. OPE.OUSAS, Feb. 6, 1892. At the hour appointed M. L. Swords, chairman of the parish Democratic execu tive committee, called that body to order. On roll call a quorum was found present. On motion of J. B. Bergeron, J. J. Thomp son was unanimously elected secretary. The chairman then explained the object of the meeting, which was for the purpose of appointing a campaign committee and for such other business as may be deemed proper. On motion of J. B. Bergeron the tollowing gentlemen were appointed on campaign executive committee: T. S. Fon tenot chairman, A. L. Fontenot, E. B. Du buisson. M. L. Swords and J. J. Barry. Mr. J. J. Barry offered the following resolution: Resolved, That this committee empha tically approves of the declaration made by':lon. E. B. Kruttschnitt Chairman of I)emocratic State Executive Committee in referrence to the letter of Jno. A. Morris, declaring that he will not accept the Lot tery amendment if adopted by the people, and~ with W. V. Kruttschnitt we regard the same as intended to hoodwink the people into the belief there is no long any lottery issue in this campaign. Resolved further, That in our opinion it is the fixed purpose of the Lottery Com pany to control the election of governor, and a majority of the Legislature, so as to secure an extension of the existing charter from the 31st day of Dec. 1893, to the 31st day of Dec. 1894; which may be done by the Legislature now to be elected. Resolved further, That we firmly be lieve, should the lottery secure control of the State government in the pending elec tion, they will call a constitutional conven tion and without submitting their work to the people adopt the same; thereby secur ing another Lottery charter more favora ble than the present amendment. And we warn our people not to be misled by this new false pretense of the Lottery, and to keep up the fight unremittingly until all lotteries shall have ceased to exist in the State of Louisiana. On motion of J. B. Bergeron, M. L. Swords, J. J. Thompson, Dr. H. Chachere, J. J. Bar ry and J. B. Bergeron were appointed as a committee on address to the people of the narish of St. Landry. On motion the CLAR ioN, New Orleans Delta and all papers fa voring the Democratic party, are hereby earnestly requested to publish same.

DESCOIIPTIOT. . MILAN WILKES (formerly George Wilkes Jr.) is a handsome blood bay, twelve years old this spring, just 16 hands high, black mane and- tail., star and white points: He is lengthy but symmetrically formed, fine head and ear,.large bone and heavy mus cle. For style in harness or under the saddle, he has no superior. He drives kindly, either single or double, and is perfectly quiet and submissive in. any position. Ladies drive him on my track without any fear. He is descended directly from Old George Wilkes, sire of more trotters in the 2:30 list than any other horse that ever lived, and sire of double as many in the 2:30 list as any other Hambletonian that everlived; anid the number to his credit is increasing with every year's training, having added twelve to his list in 1886. Lyle Wilkes, the sire of Milan Wilkes, is thought to be the best forimed-colt that t1d George Wilkes ever got, more closely resembling in his general make-up old Hamble tonian, the founder of the family, than any other of his long and and honorable line of descendants. MILAN WILKES, having been actively in the stud since his third year, 'has been speeded but little, but has shown a 2:40 gait over our track.- - PEDIG-1%Ed. SMILAN WILKES was foaled in the spring of 1880, the property of Richard' Lowell, Lexington, Ky. He was sired by Lyle Wilkes, he by 01d George Wilkes, and "he by Rysdy 's Hambletonian, the father of the most fant us f¶nily of'American' trotters. Milan Wilkes' dam was Lizzie, by Bowman's Warfield Jr., who-was' never beaten in the Kentucky show rings either for style or speed; second dam, Lizzie Harris, by Faulk ner's Americus; third dam, thoroughbred mare, raised by.; Wm.:JA Marbly, of .Mason county, Kentucky. TERMS--$25 the season, with usual return privilegee. These High-Bred Trotting Stallions Will stand the present season, at my stable in Bellevue, 5 miles south of Opelousas, commencing Feb. 1 and closing July 1. They will be in the hands of an " experienced groom, who will at all times be found at his post, and who will politely and promptly attend to the wants of all patrons. Pasturage and attention to mares from a distance,. $4 per month; feed on grain, $8 per month. I will take same care of mares from a distance as of my own, but will not be responsible for accidents or escapes. These horses should stand at $100 the season ;their breeding justifies it. But to en courage the improvement of horse-flesh in Southwest Louisiana, I have put: the price down where none can complain who are inclined to improve theequality of their stock. It affords us pleasure to show our stock to admirers of fine horses, whether breed ers or not, and we cordially invite an inspection at our stable, or on our farm, on any day.

Mambrino Patchen's sire, Mambrino Chief, was descended on both his sire's and his dam's side-from Messenger. An article on the American Trotting Horse, by Ellwood Harvey; )M. I., says: "A modern family, that rivals the Hambletonians, is composed of the descendants of Mambrino Chief. His sire was Mambrino Paymaster, by Mambrine, the best -aOn of Messenger in the trotting line. His fast progeney is very numerous and very famotis, and includes Lady Thorn, Bay Chief, Mambrino Pilot, Ericsson, Mambrino Psathen, Brignoli, Kentucky Chief, Ashland, &c."
