Facts for the People to Consider.
Immediately after Senator Voorhees, of
Indiana, delivered his speech in tho United
States Senate on agricultural depression,
we furnished the readers of the Si'ECTatob
with a synopsis of it. Contiuously since,
the request has been made for il in all its
length and excellence, for it conoerns not
only farmers and wage-earners, but all
classes and ail pursuits engaged in adding
to the comfort of the people and the pros
perity of the country. The request for its
publication is an approval of the estimate
we placed npon it, and, in complying, state
that it is the fulfillment of our previous
purpose. It hasbeei divided into four parts,
and will appear in as many issues, commen
cing to-day.
Last week we published extracts from a
letter of Senator Vest, of Missouri, which
flrst appeared in Bradstreet's on the 36th
of March, on tbe subject of agricultural
depression, which is worthy of taking high
rank in the discussion going on and to be
continued as the leading minds and teach
ers of political eoonomy shall pursue it.
Tariff reform and a relief from the bur.
dens which tbe high p.otective polioy
places upon all soil-produoing End wage
earning interests of the country are now
virtually the absorbing political topioß, and
tbeir discussion will oontinne witb increas
ing interest till tbe people will bave the op
portunity of rectifying the ruinous policies
which now prevail is tbe legislation and in
the administration of tbe affairs of the gov
ernment.
The speech of Senator Vo >rhees is al.
ready a campaign document before party
organisation bas the opportunity ot dis
seminating it, and bis private means have
been heavily taxed io meet tbe requests of
the people who have importuned bim for it
in pamphlett form. We render good ser
vice to our people in circulating it, as we
have now commenced to do, and it should
be preserved and read often with the view
of enforcing its truths and reasoning and
conclusions touching the vital ■ atters dis
cussed witb great eloquence and ability.
Tragedy in New Kent.—Last summer
the daughter of Mr. Walter Ball, who lives
near New Kent Court House, Va,, in
formed her father that sbe had been se
duced by R. T. Barbam, a clerk in tbe
Richmond and Danville office at West
Point. The father and mother immediate
ly went to West Point, pulled Barbara, out
of bed and conveyed him to Washington,
where be was made to marry the girl. He
never lived with bis wife, and later had
Ball arrested for aesaulting Wan in his
room on the occasion of the aforementioned
visit. Tbe case went to trial and Ball was
acquitted. Barbam went to Point Rock,
N. C, acd remained away until a few
weeks ago. Last Wednesday, the 16th,
the two men met in a public ro:;d. Ball
rode up from behind, and drawing a pistol
opened fire, and hit Barham in tbe thigh.
Barbam returned the lire and shot his
father-in-law twice in tho head, killing him
instantly. When the exposure of Barham
was made b.9 was about to marry a yotiDg
lady of West Point, Virginia, and was the
cornmissioußr of the revenue of the county.
Ball was about 50, while Barham is about

A Terrible Conihston.—Mansfield
King was arrested in St. Louifi on Tuosday
last while trying to dispose of 3 stolen
horse. At the Four Courts he detailed
how seven years ago in Perry, Ralls
county, Mo., he had waylaid a man named
Carter, shot him and robbed him cf $110.
King said he threw Ihe body into a creek.
Tho memory of bis crime has haunted bim
ever since. He has tried often act! ngaiu
to commit suicide, but was foiled each
time. Once be put on a mask and held np
his uncle, J. W. Scobee, hoping the latter
would shoot him. Finally, to get rid cf
the pursuing Nemesis he concluded to
change his mode of life. He married a
nice girl, but failed to find the ranee be
was looking for. Three weeks ago, at the
Eagle Hotel, Chicago, he swallowed a dose
of laudanum, but was promptly pumped
Out. King claims he stole the horse mere
ly to get arrested, and professes to be will
ing to plead guilty to all the charges in his
own indictment.

Sympathetic Insanity - .—Jos. Th una*,
a respectable farmer of Burnsville township,
N. G, lost his mind suddenly last week and
has become a raving maniac. No oiuse can
ba given for bis misfortune except, tbat hia
mind baa been overtaxed recently. Ho has
been in the habit of reading until vary late
at night after working all day and thus not
giving his mind time to reouperatr-. He
was carried to Wadesboro' aad placed in
the county jail until arrangements c :u';d be
made to carry him to the asylum. But tbe
strangest part of this sad story romaius.
Mr. Thomas's twin brother, who lives in
Union county, was notified of his brother's
misfortune and immediately went to see
him. He arrived at his bouse on .Sunday
night and by Tuesday he, too, was a rayiog
maniac. The two brothers resemble each
other very much and were strongly attach
cd. It is pitiable to see them and hear their
incibereiit jargon and; wild discordant
laughter. Mr. Ben. Thomas was sent back
to his home, in Union county, while his
. brother was c irried to Wadesboro' as stated
above. Both men are married and have
large families.
Curious Accident.—A young white
man by the name of Miller, a brakeman on
a freight train on the Midland road, met
with an accident at Chatham on Wednesday
in a very Singular manner, which will no
doubt cause bis death. The wind from the
train which was moving at a rapid rate,
caused the rope attached to the lever oa the
water tank to blow ont across the top of
tbe box car upon which Miller was seated.
The rope whipped aronnd his body in a
loop and dragged him from the train. He
fell head-foremost npon the humpers be
tW6en two box cars and rolled off down the
embarkment. He was picked up bruised
and bleeding in an unconscious condition
and carried to Danville on the same train
he fell from.

An Important Letter to President Harrison.
IT STATES DAMAGING FACTS—IT GIVES HAR
BISON AND (JUAY SOMETHING TO THINK
ABOUT.
The author is a prominent and life-loug
Republican. He is not a politician and not
an office seeker. He belongs to a publish
ing house of Philadelphia, and voted for
Harrison, but would not do so again, and
he gives good reasons why he would not do
so. It will be read witb iuterest, and is as
followB:
Philadelphia, April 9.
To the President:
Sib—No graver scandal has darkened our
political history tban the charges brought
against Senator Quay by the New York
World, in its issues of February 10 and
March 3.
It would be useless here to recapitulate
them further than to say that with full de
tails of names, aud places and dates, the
World asserts him to ba a man whose po
litical career has been a successiou of Hi
grantly dishonest acts, including the tem
porary abstraction from the State Treasury
of $200,000. ia one instance, and of $400,
000 in another. No such accusations involv
ing iniquity so varied and so continuous,
and supported by such an array of minute
detail, have ever before, I believe, been
brought against a politician so conspicuous.
If they are true Senator Quay should be in
the penitentiary; if tbey are false he is a
cruelly libeled man. His accuser is a jour
nal of the highest financial standing, and
no jury of his country men would refuse him
exemplary damages that would put him be
yond all future reach of want. Vindication
aod profit both await him as an incentive to
prove bis innocence; but although two
months have elapsed since the gravest of
the charges were made public, neither
solicitude for his character nor desire of
gain bas prompted bim to break the silence.
It is bis own fault if tbe public should re
gard this as acquiescing to the truth of the
charges.
It is true that the crimes alleged against
Senator Quay are connected only with his
career M a PatinayiuanU "boss," but your
close conneotioa with bim bas rendered the
scandal national. You were duly warned
Ia advance from a friendly source of the
dangers of such an alliauce, jet by accept
ing his man, Mr. Wannamaker, as a mem
ber of ynur Cabinet, you assumed responsi
bility for both of them. Io pursuance of
this alliance you have enlarged Mr. Qiay's
importance by vittually giving him control
of the Federal patronage in Pennsylvania,
thus rendering him the dictator of the Re
publican party iv the State. He boasted of
your subserviency to him when, in explain
ing his triumph over Representative Dalzell
iv the struggle for tbe Pittsburgh postoffice,
he publicly said that "the President, though
very anxious to gratify Mr. Dalzell, for
whom he has a high esteem, could not, un
der all the circumstances well avoid com
plying with my wishes." Even Mr. Quay's
remarkable silence under tbe accusations of
the World, does not seem to have lessened
his influence over you. He signalized his
return from Florida, a week or two since,
by capturiDg the Pittsburgh Surveyorship
Customs against candidates urged respec
tively by Secretary Blame and Representa
tive Dalzell. Indeed, his power would seem
to be as great ia Washington as iv this
State, for the party orgaDS now tell us that
he has been endeavoring to buy off a super
fluous candidate for tbe Governorship with
an Assistant Secretaryship of War.
In thus entering into a political partner
ship witb Mr. Quay you must share tho
losses as well as the gains of tbe venture. Il
is not Pennsylvania alone, nor even the Re
publican party only, that bas a right to
protest; every citizen of the land must feel
humiliated at the smirch thus inflicted on
the Chief Magistracy of the Nation.
As a Republican by conviction, ardently
desiring the success of the party so long as
it deserves success, let me request yon, Mr.
President, to take a calm survey of the
situation and render to yourself an accouut
of jour stewardship. Thirteen months ago.
you entoteu npon the duties of tbe highest
office which lbs world ha 3to bes&aiyi jGur
""party was supreme in tiio control of both
Houses of Congress and of tbe Executive;
everything promised a prosperous and use
ful administration in which you, by simply
adhering to the pledges under which you
were elected, might earn another term from
the confidence and gratitude of tbe people.
The only cloud on the political horizon wan
your acceptance of a Postmaster General
at Mr. Quay's dictation, ostensibly as a re
ward for certain services performed during
tbo canvass. That, c'oud, then no larger
than a man's hand, bas spread till it covers
the firmament. Look back now and reflect
upon your work- You have sedulously de
voted joursblf to the distribution of "pat
ronage;" you have turned out nearly 40,000
Democratic officeholders, and in thiß igno
ble business you have filled vacincies 'hus
rnnde by giving "recognition" to the worst
elements in the party. You have thus de
graded it to tho lowest, level, till it no long
er deserves or enjoys the public confidence,
and its interest, as well as that of the tia
lion, demands its purification by defeat
You have earned for it the denunciation of
the Hebrew prophet: "The heads thereof
teach for hire, and tbe prophets thereof di
vino for money; yet they will lean upon tho
Lord and say, «*is not the Lord am ing us?
N >ne evil can come amrmg us. Therefore
tbail Zioo for your sake be plowed as a field
aud Jerusalem Bhall become heaps."
But it reeds co prophet to foretell tho re
sult. Tne elections of last November were
a warning that the people would not tole
rat" ynur methods.
You Siava refused to heed the lessou, aDd
the elections of next November will em
pbas'ze it. The narrow Republican major
ity iv the lower House will ha swept away,
and your path for the latter half of your
I'dministration will be a path of thorns
You bave rewaided tho magnificent major
ity of 80.000 given to you by Pennsylvania
by livening upon her chains of Qoayism.
You need uot wonder that disaffection is
spreading rapidly throughout ber binders
io a manner that may reader even ber alle
giance doubtful.
The outlook for 1892 is even darker. Were
the Presidential election to take place to
morrow there could scarce be a doubt of
democratic success. Lit me counsel you,
Mr. President, as a friend, to reflect that
this has been your work ia oue short year of
misused power.
If this retrospection should bring with it
repentance and amendment, you still bave
before you three years which m*y be fruit
ful for good. Bear in miDd that "faithful
are the wounds of a friend, but tbe k sses
of an enemy are decetiful."
Discard tbo advisers who are luring yon
to your downfall. Recognize that the truest
political expediency lies in tbe application
of conscience to public affairs, end that you
can serve your party best by stimulating
tue nobler aspirations of the natioa, rather
than by pandering to the baser appetites of
spoilsmen. Cease to expect to gather figs
of thistles, or to touch pitch without defile
ment. Apply to your publio duties the
high standard of morality to which you ad
hers in your private life. Remember that
evil can give birtb only to evil, aod that
you, as Chief Magistrate of 65,000,000 of
freemen, have oa your sool suob a charge for
which you mutt reckon to posterity and to
God. I am, Mr. President,
Your obedient servant,
llknut Chables Lea.

A Cold Mat. —A gentleman who has
been a close observer of the moon for years,
informs us that we will have a oold and dis
agreeable May. He says that when the
April moon lies low in the west, it is a sure
sign that the weather will be disagreeable
until the next new moon.— Lexington Ga
zette.
It is straoge that in this enlightened age
there are so many persons moon-struck, aud
believe that the phases of the moon indicate
what the character of the weather will be.
The palpable absurdity of such a belief is
proved by the fact that tbe moon presents
the same phase at the same time all over
the hemisphere, whilst the weather in dif
ferent parts of it is very different—being
cold at some places an-i «arm at others,
dry at ome pi ice* and a', others, &c.
How any intelligent i erson, who knows
enough of astronomy to kiow what causes
the phases of the moon, can believe they
indicate what th' weather will be, is
"strange, passing strange."
—BTAUINTON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER.—
Quay In a Quandary.
THE "WOBLD's" CHAEGES OP COBKUPTION
AGAINST HIM INVESTIGATED BT THE
"EVENING POST" AND POUND TO BE A
TRUE BILL.
A New York special to the Pittsburg
Post says : The Evening Post of this city
to day prints the following : —
Tbe New York World nearly two m nths
ago printed a series ol accusatious of a very
serious character against Matthew Stanley
Quay, United States Senator from Penn
sylvania. The story filled between 15 and
16 columns of the World, and was in eight
chapters, the first seven chapters being
printed on February 10 and the last chap
ters on March 3. It was apparently a com
plete history of the Pennsylvania poli
tician's life from hia birth to tha present
time. Specific charges of criminal conduct,
embezzling tho moneys belonging' to the
State, bribery and airempte.l bribery were
made against him. Particulars -vere. given
to the stolen money being restored through
the generosity of United States Senator
Don Cameron, and of Quay's being thus
saved irom the penitentiary. Numerous
other charges of general political corrup
tion, troaohery.druokenness and debauchery
were made nt great lenglb. In conse
quence, however, of the generally untrust
worthy character of tho World's stories,
little or no atteution was paid to the mat
ter; the newspapers throughout the coun
try barely mentioned it.
This and other influences led us to make
an independent investigation of the cbargas
preferred against Quay by the World, and
we have found on unimpeachable testi
mony (ii many cases the testimony of
Quay's own fiiends) that these charges
were substantially true. A.s to the charges
of embezzling moneys, and the use
of S f ate money for speculation, the evidence
in detail of guilt is overwhelming. The
main facts contained in the World story,
therefore, together with other essential de
tails, are accordingly reprinted in the
Evening Post.
The Evening Post then goes on to fill six
columns with the details of its investiga
tion of Quay's record. Commenting on
this expose, the Pittsburg Post says :
Wo can add one or two important dis
closures to what, has beer, uncovered by the
World and the Evening Post. The gentle
man who found Quay in tbe Lochiel house
at Harrisburg in the early spring of 1880,
desperately drunk aDd threa enin » suioide,
with a treasury defalcation of $260,000 star
ing bim in the face, and who bore Quay's
confession to Senator Cameron at Washing
ton, and at the Senator's request returned
to Harrisburg and verified the default by
an examination of the treasury books, was
Mr. C. L. Magee. of Pittsburg. At tbat
time ho and Mr. Q lay were closo personal
and political friends, but it is due to Mr.
Magee to say that he had no part or inter
est in the treasury speculation and defalca
tion of Quay and Walters, and know uoth
ing of it until tho drunken confession was
made to him at Harrisburg.
Meutiou is abo made of "a well-known
lawyer, a gentleman of distinguished repu
tatioa aad who once filled a cabinet office,"
who was engaged by Senator Cameron to
arrange the settlement of the embezzle
ment, the repayment of the stolen money
and receive fiom Quay such securities as
be owned. This gentleman was no other
than Wayne MacVoagb, ex.attorooy-gea
eral of the United States, sdc! brother-in
law of Senaior Cameron.
Mr. Lea, iv his recent letter to the Presi
dent urging him to unload Quay, said : "If
the accusations are true, Senator Qiay
ought to be in the penitentiary. If they
are false, be is a cruelly libeled man; his
accuser is a journal of the highest financial
standing, and no jury of bis cinhtrjmen
would refuse him exemplary damages that
would put h;m boy ad all future reach of
want." Tho well known and eminent
gentlemen we have
the wiitffSj/Vfasds—<tnoiTidconviet QilrVyT
anjWierein we have the reason the Republi
sh boss declines the invitaiion to go into
court and vindicate his character. He re
lies on a muzzled Republican press, of
which the Pittsburgh Gazette and Phila
delphia Press (well knowing his guilt) are
typee, and idiotic choff and dust for the
people as that tbo exposures are born of
free trade to damn protection.
A Negro Postmaster's Letter.
in a letter to the Clarion LeriVyrer.Tbomas
Richardson, the negro postmaster recently
appointed at Port Gibson, Mississippi, by
President Harrison, says :—
"I row give public notice through your
paper that tbe present Democratic incum
bent-will soon hava to step down aud out,
and I will show ber no more courtesy than
she did ma when I had to turn the t ffice
over to ber under Cleveland's short and
wicked rule. Many times I have had to
use policy with the pale faces becaua- I
could not well get along otherwise under
Democratic rule. But, thank God, the
bottom rail baa again made its appearance,
and, I hope, will again get to the top if the
politic il fence in the native State of old
Jell' Davis, who ought to have died before
he helped to bring on secession and t_e
war.
"If Mr. Harrison is re-elected and we can
get, possession of the State offices, as wo ax
pect to do under tbe leadership of Messrs.
Chalmers, Hill, Lynch, and Ketnoghan, wo
will show the world that tbe colored people
have sime rights even in the State of Mis
sissippi, anc: my wifo and the wives of
other colored men wili travel iv the same
coach and dine at the ..uc hotel and our
children go to tho same school along with
the white women and children; and colored
men will stand shoulder to shoulder with
white men in every respect.
"We Lave the numbers, acd I am as
sured by my warm personal friend, Mr.
Kercoghan, that if he is seated in prefer
ence to tbat old fraud Hooker, he will ase
every means in his power to have a fair
election, if it has to be done at the point of
the bayonet, which, iv my opinion, is the
only way to get a fair election in Missis
sippi, especially ia Claiborne county.
"I do not, fear the white people of Port
Gibson. They may blow & great deal, but
they have too much personal i terest at
stake to bring on a raca confl ct. All I
have to fear is tha white trash from the
country, who may be put up to harm me
by some prejudiced cawards who re3ida at
Port Gibson
"To all whites in'erested in the Port
Gibson poßl< ffiae I have simply to say thai
it would be just as obnoxious for you or
your wives to deliver raul to myself or to
my wife as it may be for us to deliver mail
to you or your wives or your children, as
we are your equals In every respect.
Respectfully,
"Thomas Richirdson, P. M."
Le > XIII has granted the Njw York
Herald corrfspondent it ltwne a private
auiiet.ce; iv other words, he allowed him
self to be interviewed. As the correspon
dent says: 'Thi3 is an uuparalled evoLt in
the history of tbe Vatican, and indicates
not only a profound desire ou the part of
the Pontiff to win th 3 confidence and esteem
of tbe American people, regardless of sects,
but bis faith in the fairness and dignity of
modern journalism." Well, taking the
Herald for an example, the Pope wou'd
naturally have faith in the fairness aod dig.
nity of modern journalism, for it is habitu
ally clean, fair and dignified. Among other
things that tbe Pope said to the correspon
dent was this: "The mor: 1 condition of
both the workingman and his employer
must be raise'!. I intend to have commit
tees formed in every diocese in the world.
Eacb committee shall have the bishop at
its head and shall conßist either of wot king
men or those wbo sympathize and associate
with them. Ou fast days and whenever
there is rest from labor these committees
will call the toilers together, discuss their
duties and teach and inspire them with true
morality. Sound rules of life must be
founded on religion."

Tlia McKinley Bill to Increase the Surphis.
The treasury statistici in employed by the
mays and means committee to calculate tho
effect of the McKinley tariff bill on tbe
revenue estimates that, it will increase the
revenue by 112,000,000. This farcical an
swar of ihe committee to the country's da
maud ior lower taxes would be uproariously
fuuny in opera bouffj, bat to tha average
housebokiar, overburdened with the cost, of
living, it must scorn heartlessly cruel. It
is at the 3ame time a blunder, it appears,
resulting from the ma 'mpaiency of the
fanatical protectionists ou the CiUi.nictee,
Although they hive for months been devis
ii-g new duties and putting old ones higher
they were of opinion when they hud com
pleted the first draft of their bill that il
would reriuco the revenue to the extent of
$60,000,00) Further tinkering, consequent
up v funiar interviews with the tariffljrds,
brought down tbeir esimate of the reduc
tion to bo affected to $20,000,000. Now, it
appeals, liter an cumin ition uf the bill by
suexpsit, that instead of a reduction of
revenue, there will be an increase which
nil!, at the outset, reach $12 000.000, and
a year later may double that figure. The
cutlery and glass schedules, being extreme
ly complicated, are not included by the
statistician in his estimate, It is hird to
tell just what effect the new jngijliog wirh
ciassitiaiticos and rites r. ill Uave, but as it
wa* dictated by the manufacturers it is safe
to assume that it wi'l add to he Dew sur
plus. Tbe effoc; of the 120 per cent, it
crease oo t.n plate would be to increase the
revenue by. over $7,000 000, but this is also
omitted fr>in the es r imato, as tbe duty on
tdis article would notgointoeffeci til! July,
1891. Ao'riing these omiited items, the
bill, if it in its present shane
wdl add ■ -i-sr $20 000,000 t.o tha annual r-ui
plus. C.'tctr'g mit does at a time vther
•very bod 7 is expecting a redaction of taie>
this nun' loeasary iucreune mu-ii strike the
public with am izemoot. The unwisdom oi
ths t'tetiS by whioii it was reached is appir
c it. The new revenue is to be raised put
ly from icif taxes on ra-v materials—tv
plate, wool, hides, flix, hemp, hops aur
tobicco—aud partly from higher db
the necessaries of life, such as woolen goods
cotton gooas, linen cu'lery irlawware,

A Hollow Sham.
A very prominent Virginia Republican,
who used to live iv the interior of New
York Si ate, has recently been visiting his
old home, acd stopped over in Wash ngton
last week on his return long enough to call
on tho President. His errand was to lay
bofore Mr Harrison and other party leaders
the condition of things pnlitnal as he sees
it in ih» two States. He says that the
"nee iiriißperous acricultinal districts in
Ne» York where bo us-d to live are lieavi
ly debt ridden; the farmers in many cases,
iv spite of tho exerciss- of all sorts of petty
econ imie* have iot paid a penny of inter
est on their m oteages fur the last, two
years, and are despairing of d'»ing any bet
tor for the present. They are disposed to
attribute their condition to the protective
DOlicy to which the Itapnblicans cling with
such tenacity. Not merely soros, but
hundreds, bave, to his knowledge, sworn
that tbey have voted the Republican ticket
for tho last time. In Virginia the farmers
are feeling the same way, be says The
defeat, of Mahone last fall he attributes to
the disttuat felt there of Senator Sherman,
for whom Mahone was understood to stand.
They conßide ed that the Senator repre
sented everything which w s most obnox
ious to the farmer. What both the New
York and the Virginia recalcitrants cannot
grasp, he says, is how an oconomic system
which benefits the farmer, as protection is
alleged to do, leaves tbe poor fellow out at.
the elbows aud down at tbe ii- el, while a
handful of millionaires are living on the
fat of tho land and building palaces for
their tamilies to dwell in.
Ho was at the last National Republican
Convention, and was there assured by tbe
leaders of the party that the tariff revision
plank in the platlorm meant somethiug,
and on the strength of that assurance be
went back and so informed his people.—
They and he have now found tbat this pre
tense was a hollow sham. Not only that,
but he cannot find a Republican newspaper
which will allow him to tell tho truth of
the situation through its columns, and
wheu he comes to Washington, tbe Presi
dent treats his arguments as the ravings of
a oraey man.
This Virginia Republican is not the only
member of his party who realizes with
mortification and disappointment that all
the pretences of his party iv tbe direotion
of good government and tha general wel
fare are nothing but bellow shams. The
trouble with him and all Republicans of
like views is that they are in the wrong
pew politically. They might as well ex
pect repose in Bedlam as to expect tariff re
form from the party of monopoly, ex
travagance and high taxes. — Lynchburg

Many a Life
HAS been saved, by the prompt use <.f
Ayer's Pills. Travelers by land or
sea are liable to constipation or other
derangements of the stomach anil bowels
which, il neglected, lead to serious and
often fatal consequences. The most sura
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. Tho pru
dent sailing-mastor would as soon go to
sea without his chronometer as without
a supply of these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in operation, Ayer's Pills
leave no ill effects ; they are purely
vegetable and sugar-coated ; the safest
medicine for old and young, at home or
abroad.
" For eight years I was afflicted with
constipation, which at last became so
bad that the doctors could do no more
for me. Then I began to take Ayer's
Pills, and soon the bowels recovered
their natural and regular action, so that
now I am in
Excellent
health."—Mrs. C. K. Clark, Tewksbury,
Massachusetts.
"I regard Aver:-, Pills as one of the
most reliable general remedies of our
times. They have been in use in my
family for affections requiring a purga
tive, and have given unvarying satisfac
tion. We have found them an excellent
remedy for colds and light fevers."—
W. R."Woodson, Fort Worth, Texas.
" For several years I have relied more
upon Ayer's Pills than upon anything
else in tlie medicine chest, to regulate
my bowels and those of the ship's crew.
These Pills are not severe in their ac
tion, but do their work thoroughly. I
have used them with good effect for
the cure of rheumatism, kidney trou
bles, and dyspepsia."— Capt. Mueller,
Steamship Felicia, New York City.
" I have found Ayer's Cathartic PilU
to be a better family medicine for com
mon use than any other pills within my
knowledge. They are not only very
effective, but safe and pleasant to take
— qualities which must make them
valued by the public." — Jules Havel,
