That Nasal Catarrh, THROAT and LUNG DISEASES Is no Longer a Matter of Doubt. COMMON SENSE. Modern System or Coro as Originated and Adopted by SR. CONMOGHTON, 403, Brady Street, Davenport, lowa. ESTABLISHED A. D., 1878. Has stood the test for nearly a quarter of a eentury. and proves to be the most rational ns well as the most successful method yet Instituted in the treatment of All Eye and Ear, ■That Nasal Catarrh, the (treat Forerunner of Throat, Bronchial and Lung Diseases, including Consumption, can be radically cured, is no longer a matter of doubt, as has been time and again demonstrated by Dr. Connaughton. He can refer to eases he treated ten to fifteen years ago which, have remained permanently cured up to the present time. CATARRH in the HEAD. To what the Disease Finally Lead—The Throat and the Lungs become Affected and Death Ultimately Endues. t'OXSUMPTIOX CARRIES OFF MORE PERSOXS A XXA I'LL Y Til AX THE PLAGUE , CHOLERA OR YELLOW FEVER—THE DIS EASE ALA RMIXGL Y PREVALENT THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE AXD WESTER X STATES. Tbe constant occurrence of anythirnt in the physical world renders the people utterly indif ferent to such an event. We see this fact notably demonstrated in the case of a certain disease. For instance, when the plague starts from tbe junjrles ot India on its desolating 1 march, the whole C hristian world is alarmed: when the cholera commences l'.e ravages in Asia or Eastern Europe, every avenue is closed as far as possible against its progress westward: and when Yellow Fever is brought into a single port of our Southern cities, the Hoards of Health everywhere are alarmed, and the people are admonished to look to their sanitary conditions. And yet there is a disease always present—always in our midst—silently but steadily removing from the social circle, the cheerful fireside, from private and public life, many, very many more annually than the grav est or worst epidemic that ever visited our fair country. This ever present, ever existing disease. - sparing neither the young nor the aged—and incident to all climates and to all seasons of the year—is Consumption. A nasal catarrh or “'cold in the head,” as well as a simple angina, or “sore throat,' is notun- Irequently the forerunner of bronchial irritation and cough, and as each of these diseases have an invariable tendency when neglected or badly treated, to involve the delicate tissues and st ruc tures of the lungs, and terminate in a destruction of those organs of vitality, they should claim the prompt attention of a skillful physician. Of all diseases which aiUict the human family, tuberculosis, phthisic, or pulmonary consump tion is the most dangerous, as it occurs more or less in every q jarter of the globe, and occasions a larger proportion of deaths than any other disease. One-Fourth of the People Die of It. Statistics show that among the enlightened nations of the earth the deaths from Consumption are about one-fourth of the whole number, and that of the people inhabiting the globe three mil lion die each rear of this disease And observation shows that no period of life is exempt, ana the most talented and useful members of every community are among the ilrst victims of tnis •eourge of the human family. This precarious state of society arises mainly from the fact that the patient or his friends are inclined to regard liis affection as a Catarrh, or that the disease is only in the Throat, and that it will soon pass away, or that it is only a Bronchial affection, and re quires a little patience. Ac.; and yet all these ailments, unimportant as they are regarded, are as links in the great chain that lead to Consumption, but which are rapidly curable in their several stages by the medicated inhalation combined with local and constitutional r. medics prescribed by I>r.

The extraordinary success which bas attended Dr. Connaugbton’s modern scicntiflc method of treatment has made his name cele brated throughout the countrv, and his cures of the most obstinate chronic <liseasos, after the long-continued efforts of well-inow n physician* have failed, have furnished the strongest possi ble proof of his great skill and ability. Before his treatment the worst forms of disease give way and the most delicate and debilitated constitutions become strong. His vast knowledge and experience enables him to attack the sqpt of disease at once, so that recovery is surprisingly rapid. Diseases of a Chronic and Obstinate Character. Especially such esses as have for years or a life-time, resisted the ordinary modes of treat ment. are the class of maladies in the treatment of which UK, CONNAUGHTON has become pre eminent all over the North-West, as weli as throughout the Union, and by his suocess has achiev ed for himself an enviable reputation.

CONNAUGHION has given the public sufficient evidence to convince the moat skeptical and incredulous that his method of treatment is singularily successful in Chronic diseases, espec ially In such case* as have defied the skill of other and justly celebrated physicians; hence no one who is afflicted with a seemingly incurable disease should despair, but cherish a hope of being re lieved of hia suffering, if not entirely cured, by the Doctor’s successful mode of treatment. lu addition to the hundreds of testimonials which DB.

In the editions of this newspaper throughout the year to come everybody will find: I. All the world’s news, so presented that the reader will get the greatest amount of in formation with the least unprofitable expendi ture of time and eyesight. The Sun long ago discovered the golden mean between redundant fulness and unsatisfactory brevity. 11. Much of that sort of news which depends less upon its recognized importance than upon its interest to mankind. From morning to morning the Sun prints a continued story of the lives of real men and women, and of their deeds, plans, loves, hates, and troubles. This story is more varied and more interesting than any ro mance that was ever devised. HI. Good writing in every column, and freshness, originality, accuracy, and decorum in the treatment of every subject. IV. Honest comment. The Sun's habit is to speak out fearlessly about men and things. V. Equal candor in dealing with each politi cal party, and equal readiness to commend what is praiseworthy or to rebuke what is blamable in Democrat or llepublican. -jv VI. Apsolute independence of partisan or ganizations, but unwavering loyalty to true Democratic principle. Tne Sun believes that the Government which the Constitution gives its is a good one to keep. Its notion of duty is to resist to its utmost power the efforts of men in the Republican party to setup another form of government in place of that which exists. The year IfcSl and the years immediately fol lowing will probably decide this supremely im portant contest. Tbe Sun believes that the victory will be with the people as against the Kings of monopoly, tbe Kings for plunder, and the Kings for inperial power Our terms arc as follows: For tbe Daily Sun, a four-page sheet of twenty-eight columns, the price by mail, post paid, is 55 cents a month, or #0 60 a year; or. in cluding the Sunday paper, an eight page sheet of fifty-six columns, the price Is cents a month, or $7.70 a year, postage paid.

THE DES MOINES MEDICAL Dispensary, FOR THE TREATMENT OF The Throat and Lungs, Catarrh, Kidney and Bladder, Female, and all Chronic and Nervous Diseases. CLAPP’S BLOCK, Entrance on Fifth Street. DES MOINES, IOWA. Dr. FISHBLATT, of the above institution, makes bis next visit to Oskaloosa, January 27, ’Bl, and remain One Day Only, at tbe DOWNING HOUSE. DR. FISHBLATT Has discovered tbe greatest cure in the world for weakness of the back and limbs, involunta ry discharges, impotency, general debility, ner vousness, languor, confusion of ideas, palpita tion of the heart, timidity, trembling, dimness of sight or giddiness, diseases oi the head, tbroa', nose or skin, affections of tho liver, lungs, stomach or bowels—those terrible disorders arising from solitary habits of youth—and se cret practices more fatal to their victims than the songs of tbe Syren to the mariners of Ulysses, blighting their most radiant hopes or anticipations, rendering marriage impossible. Young Men who have become victims of solitary vice, that dreadful and destructive habit which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of young men of exalted talent and brilliant intel lect, who might otherwise have entranced lis tening senates with the thunder of their elo quence. or wake to ecstacy the living lyre, may call with lull confidence. Marriage. Married persons, or young men contemplating marriage, aware of physical weakucss, loss of pro-creative powers, lmpotency, or any other disqualifications, speedily relieved, lie who places himself under the care of Dr. Fishblatt may religiously confide iu his honor as a gen tleman, and confidently rely upon his skill as a physiciau. Organal Weakness, Immediately cured and full vigor restored This distressing affliction—which renders life a burden and marriage impossible—is the penalty paid for Improper indulgence. Young persons are too apt to commit excesses from not being aware of the dreadful conaequeuces that ensue. Now who that understands tbls subject will deny that procreation is lost sooner by those falling into improper habits than by tne pru dent. This abuse occasions nervous irritability, dyspepsia, palpitation of tbe heart, indigestion, wasting of tbe frame, cough, consumption and death. DR. FISHBLATT. Dr. Fishblatt, graduate of one of the most em inent colleges In the United Blates, lias effected some of the most astonishing cures that were ever known; many troubled with ringing in the head and ears when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at certain sounds with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of the mind, were cured immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. F. addresses all those who have injured themselves by Improper indulgences and aollta ry habits which ruin both mind and body, unfit ting them for business, study, society and mar- are some of the sad and melancholy ef fects produced by tbe oarly habits of youth, viz: weakness of tbe back and limbs, pain in tho head, dimness of sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of thenem-t, dysinipsla, ner vous irritability, (}erangement of the digestive functions, debility, consumption, etc. p. g.—Those who reside at a distance and can not call, will receive prompt attention through the mall by simply sending their symptoms, with postage Address Lock Itoz <6, Dea Moines. lowa.

The sermon was preached last Sun day by Elder Cornell assisted by Elder Reynolds. Mr. Lunt has the prayers and sympathies of the entire community. Mr. Isaac Whaling of Osceola with his good wife have been visiting their many friends of this place and have returned to their home. Mr. Van Hauten, one of the best Hol landers in this township, is in your city on the Graud Jury.

School is under full headway now at this place, with Miss Hattie Dickey of Lee county and |Miss Laura BramanofNew Sharon, in charge. The Sunday-school at this place gave a festival in the M. E. church on Christinas eve. They also had a Christmas tree in connection with the festival. Everything passed ofl pleasantly during the evening and we cleared something over fifty dol lars. The Sunday school intend purchasing an organ for their own use soon. Dec. 31, 1880. R. Eds. Herald.— All quiet in this neck of woods. Since Christmas it is no trouble for us to keep cool. Our school at Buckeye has commenced again after ten days of vacation. The teacher and scholars set m to go at their work with renewed energy. Our friend and neighbor, John I.

Well John, while we are very sorry to lose you as a neighbor we wish you a good success in selecting another home. John, nothing so bad but somegood may come out of it. While we lose you as a good neighbor we are as sured by those that know Mr. Barnes, that we will get a good neighbor, so we say fare-well John, may peace and pros- perity follow you. January 4, 1681. Eds. Herald.— The writer would say we are generally in fair condition consid ering the state of the weather. Stock seems to be doing well where the proper attention is given them. Water is a very needful adjunct to successful stock handling; all animals should have daily access to pure water. Our swine have mostly gone to the markets, but there must be near 500 cattle feeding in this township and a half of Ma haska, on this side of the Dcs Moines river. An occasional sheep goes the way of their unfortunate predecessors; is torn to death by some worthless canine. I see by my Ohio paper that the sheep interest there has remuneration when their flocks are destroyed. Why is lowa so slow to protect one of her best interests? lowa is a better sheep state than Ohio ever wi s—at least, that is the writer's observ ation. Good tame grass will winter sheep here in lowa where we have so little snow. Bro. Ketner knows how to ralse’good calves, let others go and do likewise. Dec. 30, 1860. J. T. MUCUAKINOCK. Eds.

We rejoice to write that Mrs. Garret son has so far recovered from her severe illness as to be able to sit up again. Robert, son of Joseph and Mary Eliza beth Hawkins died January Ist, at 11 o’clock p. m., aged 6 years, 5 months and 18 days. He was a bright little boy be loved by all who knew him. Before his death he talked with gladness of seeing his brothers and sisters who have gone from this world. Not long since he said he had rather die and go to Heaven than live here where he coaid not go to Sun day school. A sweet, happy smile now rests on his lifeless features.

EAST OSKALOOSA - DES MOINES TOWNSHIP. HI.ACK OAK. HOG CHOLERA” AGAIN. Eds. Herald.— l am not in the habit of writing for the paper, but having noticed an article in the paper of December 23d, want to notice some of the points Mr. Wallace sets forth on the treatment of this disease. As I have just had a round with it I know whereof I speak I dont know whether Mr. Wallace ie a farmer or not, should rather judge not, but will venture to say that he knows nothing of the hog cholera from experience, nis aiticle sounds very 6picy, and to the point I suppose, to those who have not had a trial with the scourge, hut to one who has lost about all his herd and spent about all fall treating it, say nothing about the expense, it rounds a great deal as though it insinuated that the cholera is a disease that strikes only a few indif ferent farmers who were not up to the standard of the class ingeneral. He says, “its your farming my friend, that needs doctoriDg and sometimes it is useless to attempt to doctoi that.’’ I will admit, there is a great deal of poor farming done, but I can’t see what that has to do with hog cholera. I dont profess to be the best farmer but am vain enough to believe that my farming will compare favorably with the average. Other men in this community who have lost largely from the cholera arc some of our best practical farmers, so that I think that kind of doctoring would be rather weak medicine. It would be a great relief to the farmers if we could find out what would prevent this disease. I will give about the treatment my hogs had during tho summer. They run in the pasture with my other stock, and when the water dried up, I watered them out of the well, gave it regularly and plenty of it The fore part of the sea son I gave them corn, with com and oats chopped together in equal quantities for swill; they had all the salt they wauted. Then as soon as new corn would do, cut that and fed it; my hogs took the disease they were yet on grass. If this corn diet” is the cause of it, Ivion’t see why the stock were not extinct a long while ago. Feeding corn to hogs is no new idea, people fed corn to hogs at far back as I can iemember. lam 60 for tunate as to have the Agricultural of 1877 which gives a complete history of the disease, so there is no question about that. He says “turn the well ones out and drive them a mile or two.” It is a question whether that would do any good or not. It would be like running a horse that had the colic; would be inhuman say the least of it, for the well ones are affect ed more or less, and then according to his last proposition would be scattering the disease. I will agree with him about setting the dog on the “stink pedlers.” Let the farmer market them himself and he will realize about three times as much for them. Now for his last proposition which is the main point at issue. He says “see to it that the next Senator and Represen tative you elect are sound on the question of prohibiting the traffic in diseased hogs.” Now I believe that when a hog is dead and cold, the disease is dead. For proof of this I will refer Mr. Wallace to the Gegner Brothers for their experience. They raise hogs every year. One of them told me that they raised 70 head one year and they run in the field where the dead ones were and have never lost a hog yet with the cholera. Now if hogs will take the disease from the dead ones, i chy dont hit take it. I know this is contrary to the theory in general, but fine spun theories must give way to practical lesults. Look at the value of this traffic. Gegner says they have enough hogs to make one bun dred barrels of grease. This is but one firm See the grett amount of cheap grease this makes. No doubt but xce got tlu> benefit of it, but 1 am not posted as to the way it comes. And then they pay fioai one-half to one cent per pound for dead hogs, which will amount to no small sum in a large lot. Now Mr. Wallace, after you have lost about three hundred dollars worth of hogs I guess you would rather like to get forty or fifty dollars for the old carcasses. In consideration of the value of this traffic, and that the disease is not communicated in that way, I expect to oppose the election of your men on the same ground that you favor them. In conclusion I would advise the farmers W cultivate red peppers for their hogs anc give them good {strong tea occasionally especially when they are coughing. Very Respectfuly, C. E. Crozikr WOMAN’S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION CONVENTION. The Mahaska county Convention of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was held at Oskaloosa the 28th and 29th of Dec., 1880. The convention opened in City Hall, Tuesday evening, with prayer followed by an address on “Constitutional Amendment,’’ by J. P. Pinkham, of West Branch, lowa. Prof. Carpenter in the chair. Wednesday Morning, Ist M. E Church, AAer devotional exercises, the conven tion was called to order by the President, Mrs. S. J. Kemper of Oskaloosa, when Mrs. W. Marriage was nominated Secre tary for the convention. A- J - It was moved and carried that all pres ent be considered members of the conven tion. Tbe following committee was appointed on “Organization and Plans of Work,’’ J. P. Pinkham, Mrs. E. J. Wright, Mrs. Dickson, Prof. G. T- Carpenter, Mrs. Anna Palmer, Dr. Coxe, Mrs. M. J. Cook, and Mrs. F. M. Davenport. Mrs. E. J. Wright gave an account of the Band of Hope’s work in this city, and spoke of the state of Maine as an example of the great results of thorough Band of Hope work, and urged the desirability of Temperance text-books being used in our common schools. Mrs. Palmer stated that 12,000 children had been banded together for Temperance through Mrs. Goode’s efforts, and that the work must be regarded as for education and not merely for entertainment. Tem perance schools in some places are work ing very successfully. The liquor dealers have said then must have the children or their business will be used up in about ten years. Brother Simonds also urged tbe neces sity of prosecuting the work more earnest ly among the children, and alluded to the parable of Christ feeding the five thousand where the Lord told the disciples to use what they had, but he did not tell them to wait till He had made more of It. Allu sion was made to seeing boys on Christ mas day going In and out of saloons al though the law forbade saloon keepers al lowing boys under age being in their places. J. P. Pinkham said it was our right as citizens to enforce the law and that if we stand by and see it violated without en forcing the penalty, we are'gullty of break ing It. Mrs. M. J. Cook in a verbal report ol the W. C. T. U. of this city, stated that it met weekly and that temperance literature had been largely circulated, and the mem dership of the Union augmented. A committee of two was appointed to solicit subscribers for the Prohibitionist. The time having come to close the con vention adjourned to 2 o’clock. Afternoon Session Having been opened with prayer the minutes of the morning session were read and approved. A report of the Union at Tracy was read. Mrs. Jackson read a paper on tem perance literature. It was moved and carried that the paper be sept to the Pro hibitionist that its words might have a wider range lor good. Mrs. Davenport then brought before the Convention various items of information respecting the legalized liquor traffle, which was also directed to be sent to the Prohibitionist and our local papers. Mrs. Palmer urged the need of thorough organization; we must not only arouse the conscience of the people, but light must he poured in among them, that they may become more intelligent. Temperance prayer meetings are a ne cessity. We must teach temperance from a Bible stand point. J. P. Plnkbam urged the necessity of jnojre Temperance home reading. The committee of “Organization and Plans of Work” submitted the following report which was accepted by the conven tion : “That Mrs. S. J. Kemper be President of the county organization; Mrs. Daven port, Corresponding Secretary; and Mrs. E. J. Wright, Treasurer; with Vice Pres idents in each township; and further re solved that each township Vice Pres, to do all in her power to create temperance sentiment by holding temper ance meetings, tracts, solic iting subscribers for temperance papers, particularly the Prohibitionist, and raising funds to assist the Prohibition clubs in sending speakers into the respective town ships ; and that to accomplish this work, she appoint an assistant in each school district and correspond with the county president to exchauge plans and report progress; and, in view of the fact that so many are under the power of strong drink, many having signed and broken the pledge, wc feel the necessity of holding up the Gospel to the perishing masses, to recom mend that a place be given our Evaugelis tic work, looking towards gospel insti tutes for the purpose of training workers for the future, - and holding gospel meet ings in conjunction with our amendment work, holding quarterly county conven tions combining the Evangelistic and Amendment work. A motion was made and carried that the Secretary send the minutes of the conven tion to the Prohibitionist and our local papers. After some earnest remarks by the President, the time having come to close, the convention adjourned to 7 o’clock. Evening Session Opened with prayer, after which Mrs. Palmer addressed the audience on “The Evangelistic Plan for Temperance Work,” which was listened to with great interest, and it was felt that the convention, though small on account of the inclemency of the weather, was a success. R. W. Marriage, Sec. A Letter from the Editor of the Edu cational Column. Des Moines, la , Dec, 30,1850. Eds. Herald. —The present session of the State Teacher’s that will adjourn to morrow Corning has been one of the most interesting and faithful meetings it has ever been our pleasure to attend. This, the twenty fourth annual session, has-been the larg est that was ever held. Two hundred and nine teachers and superintendents enrolled as active members. Many oth era in attendance that did not become members, and all are returning to their homes satisfied that the zeal of the teachers of lowa is not flagging. We will givejbut a general description of the work of this association, hoping our readers that are particularly interested may secure the Jauuary and February numbers of tbe |lowa Normal Monthly aud read the entiro proceedings. On tho evening of the 28th inst. C. A. Dudley, Esq., of tho t ' capital city, deliver ed a very appropriate aud entertaining address of welcome. 11 was not full of platitudes flattering the teacher's work and profession as is too much the cus tom but contained a complete summary of the great questions agitatiug the po litical and educational world, with, the admonition to make the powerful influ ence felt that tho school master possess ed. A brief happy reply was made by the President of the Association, then A. L, Frlabco oi' M win co Julit’DrpH an excellent addres*. So closed tho first evening. On tho following morning a critical and exhaustive paper was read by Dr. Poppo of Burlington in “The Right Use of Text Books.” He claimed that tho text books should not be in the bands of the primary pupils, and that the teacher should Lo tho source of all information. He regarded the text book as injurious to correct mental develop ment in these schools and deplored the extensive use that had become so gencr* al in American schools. His views were very earnestly combatted en several dif ferent points when the conclusion was reached that the gentleman looked at tho text book from a German standpoint and did not give a fair criticism of the right use of books iu the schools of this coun try. “The Quiocy Methods” were discussed in an able paper by Supt. Henry Sabin of Clinton which brought forth a pointed and earnest discussion on tho same. It was pleasing to observe that so many persons seemed able and ready to vent i late their views on this all absorbing sub ject of the press and the educational convention. The conclusion reached was that there wero no such thing as “Quincy” methods and tint the furore and gencval excitemont provoked by the pen and tongue of Chas. Francis Adams Jr. wfts entirely uncalled for. The annual address of tho president of tho association was a logioal and thoughtful paper which created whole sale and, animated thought on the live questions of tho hour. It is impossible to indicate here the interesting argument of the address. In the evening Prof. A. F. Parker of tbe State UnHers ty delivered a scholar ly and exhaustive address on the advance of the educational work in the domin ions of Johnny Bull, showing how much credit was due to tho Commons, the Ministry and the Queen and how little desert should be given to the House of Lords in all this progress. He charly showed that the democratic element in English polities was tho author and pro moter of the educational reforms while the aristocratic element repressed hud oppoond all attempts to iducate theebild ren of the poor. On Thursday Prof. J. Piper, a man of whom Mahaska county may be proud gave au instructive talk on The Work of Normal Schools. He desired that sev eral more state uormal schools should bo established and recommended that di dactic instruction should be extended to all the teachers of the s’.atc by thisagen cy. The editor of this column road a pa per on the Relation of Superintendents to Teachtrs which was in keeping with his views on this subject as is shown by his dealings with the teachers undir his charge. L. T. Weld of C’rcsoo, gave a vtry fine plea in favor of sensible and systematic teaahing of the English language. lie depreciated the teaching of technical Grammar in the ordinary schools and would substitute therefor such exercises as would lead to a practical and critical knowledge of the use of English. Reports of committees were then ro ccived, resolutions adopted, an education al oouncil oreated and new officers elect ed. Harmony in everything character ized the entire session. With the dis cussion of a few topics pertaining to the Normal Institute, the w.ork of the year will be over. The new year will be ush ered iu and the grand army of cduoa tional workers will be tented agaij.st ig coranco and vico. Theso annual meet tags aro the times for conference aud dis cussion preparatory to making a more ad vanced movement in the direction of pub lic interest and education. H. 11.
