THE BEST REMEDY
FOR
Diseases of tie Tbroat and Lungs.
A V T7 T5 n diseases of the pvrt-
a a a - - monary organa a nam
and reliable remedy is
invaluable. Aveb's
CnEiutv Pkctoral is
such a remedy, and no
other so eminently mer
its the confidence of
the public. It is a sci
entific combination of
the medicinal princi
ples and curative vir
tues of tbe finest drugs,
nlioinirnllv milted, of
such power as to msnro
M pfflci(?ncv and uniform-
rr"PAnrn ity of results. Itstrikes
rL'Aj 1 jktiU, ot tlo fniind:itioil of all
pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief
and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients of
any age or either sex. Being very palatable,
the youngest children take it readily. In
ordiuarv Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, lufluenza, Clergyman's
Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Ca
tarrh, the effects of Ayek's Chkmit Pec
toral are magical, and multitudes are an
nually preserved from serious illness bv its
tinielv and faithful use. It should be kept
at hand in every household for the pro
tectiou it affords ia sudden attacks. In
Whooping -congh and Consumption
there is no other remedy so ettacious,
soothing, and helpful.
Low prices are inducements to try some or
the many mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap
and Ineffective ingredients, now offered,
which, as they contain no curatire qualities,
can afford only temporary relief, and aro
sure to deceive and disappoint the patient.
Diseases of the throat and lungs demand
active and effective treatment; and it is dan
gerous experimenting with unknown and
cheap mediciues, from tbe great liability that
these diseases may, while so trifled with,
Income deeply seated or incurable. Lse
AVer's Chkuky Pectoral, and you may
confidently exject the best results. It is a
standard medical preparation, of known and
acknowledged curative power, and is as
cheap as its careful preparation and fine
iuTedient will allow. Eminent physician,
kaowing its composition, present it in their
practice? The ttst of half a century has
,roven its absolute certainty to enre all pul
monary complaifiU not already beyond ti.e
reach cif human aid.

We must not tear tbe close-shut leave apait;

Kendall's nabrativis continued.
In answer to tho question as to tho Btate
of feeling in New Mexico regarding our ftp.
proach, they could give us no information
upon this point they knew nothing. Ihey
had been absont for rnontha irom tho set-
tloraents, and were trading with tho Caygu.
yas when the unfortunate Hall and his par
ty were killed, although they had no part or
lot in that massacre. They also told us that
they were in the main camp of the Indians
when the murdering party returned, bring
ing the dead bodies of eleven of their war
riors, among whom was the principal chief.
The cercmonioa and performances on the
occasion the wild dances of the warriors
around the scalps of their victims, with the
painful penance of the women in token of
their grief for the loss of the warriors of
the tribe were described by our new ac
quaintauces with eraphio effect. The wo
men smote and cut . their breasts, and ran
naked through thorns and prickly-pear
bushes, to show the intensity of their offee
tion. ,
We next asked the Mexicans the distance
to the Palo DurO, or rather tho spot where
our main body with tho wagon encamped.
They said that a good mule could travel ho
distance easily in four day si Upon our tell
ing them th route we had taken, , and that
we had bcou thirteen days on tlie road, they
expressed the greatest astonishment baid it
was wonderful that wo had been abl3 to
cross the immense chasms and mountains at
alL They sail that if we had taken a course
directly west on starting, we would liae
avoided the deep canoes altogether, and had
a good, smooth road the whole distance. In
addition, they informed us that Carlos and
his companion had passed them in the morn
ing, completely worn down with hunger and
fntin?. By this it would oeiu that the
runaway guide had taken course too nmch
to the north, and fallen into the Mint errors
which had canscd us bo much trouble.
As regards provisions, the Mexicans were
aluiofit as Ladly off as ourselves. thir stock
being nearly exhausted. Thy pave the

The Mexicans, after receiving full inslruc-

set out on their journey across the immense
prairie, and, as wo afterward learned, were

had occupied us thirteen.

St. Louis, Aug. 10, 1883.
Editor Free Press: A case of the his
torical "pound of flesh" occurred t before
Judge Noonan yesterday, the details of which
converted the large audience into an exas
perated mob. OneD. H. Evans,' who bo,
longs to the class of "money brokers" was
on trial for larceny; and the ' evidence U
closod the fact' that' Mr. and', Mrs, Perry
mortgaged their f uruituro to, Eun 1'or tho
pittance of $29, and in tho space; of throo
inou.ths Evous had trebled the amount of
tho loan by a sjtitom of duplicatlnjr inJ
triplicating the aiortgago snd notes, nnd by
charges, intoreHt and every conccivablo kind
of fraud and deceit, actually brought tho
original loan of $21) to the sum of njnety
throe dollars. "When tho victims LuiltA in
their dosperato e Sorta to meet these charges,
Evans supplemented all his villainiots by
stripping them of every vefitigo of furniture,
clothing and personal effects, and all with
out replevin or any writ of authority of jaw
Evans was committed to appear before the
September term of the Criminal Coart.
These "nwney lookers" of St. liOUiVhavo
thrived in a course of theft and villainy that
wauld make the meanest pick-pocket blush
to the cars, ,aud it is high time that these
sharks bo bronght to condign puniriJimont.
Well, the Sunday law is in full force and
effect, and ono thousand new warrants were
issued for tho arrest of lust Sunday's vio
lators of tho luw, but tho prosecution seems
to bo in bad shape. The ealoon 'keejers op
pear to bo slightly ahead. Tbe politicians
have taked hold of the matter, and tho sa
Icon keepers in St. Louis cna always rely on
the ave'rago politician for tbe moKt unquali
fied support. The saloon keepers of this
city .are defiant, ntwl (he authorities thai be,
are slightly weak-kneed and a little uncer
tain as to what course to pursue. They, the
authorities, recognize the law and acknowl
edge the evil, but they are slightly averse to
heroic remedies, and your correspondent is
of opinion that the three thourftnd etdoons
of Ht. Louis will continue to keep their por
tals open wide open on Sunday, and this
will give rise to new and oomjiifcatcd politi
cal problems, and by the time I send Diy
next Letter to tho Free Press I w ill have
consulted some of our local statesmen and
will then give your readers a clear idea of
the outcome. Carl Smiths.'
