JUDGE JOHN VINSON BAN.
QUETED.
Complimentary Tribute to th e
Sterling Character and Abilities
of Associate Judge John T. Vin
son, by the Frederick Bar Asso
ciation, Upon His Retirement
from the Bench.
The members of the Bar Association
of this city tendered an elaborate im
promptu banquet to Hon. Judge Viu
sou, of Montgomery County, Associ
ate Judge of the Circuit Court for the
Sixth Judicial District, at the Carliu
House, last Friday night, as au evi
dence of the high esteem in which he
is held by all for his sterling qualities
of miiid aud heart, and also to com
memorate his retirement from the
beuch, which he has for many years
adorned with so much dignity and
power. Judge Vinson has reached the
extreme age limit allowed by the Con
stitution of the State of Maryland—7o
years—and although a petition was
presented, to the last legislature by
prominent persons in both Frederick
and Montgomery Counties, for au ex
tension of liis term, that body refused
to pass favorably upon the measure.
Everywhere the news of this action
was received with regret, especially as
Judge Viuson is as hale aud hearty as
a school hoy aud possessed of every fac
ulty to enable him to administer jus
tice in the highly creditable manner
which has always been characteristic
of him.
On Thursday afternoon last, a com
mittee appointed at a meeliug ot the
Bar Association got together aud fig
ured upon a bauqueut to be given the
next night, Friday, aud alter much
difficulty urrauged matters satisfactor
ily. The committee consisted of
Messrs. C. V. 8. Levy, F. J. Nelson
and Glenn H. Worthington. Consid
ering Hie time in which everything
was prepared, the event from start to
finish was a highly delightful and en
joyable one, as the hour at which ad
journment was made fittingly proved.
Mr. P. E. Long, the proprietor of
the Hotel, was a most efficient caterer
to the varied tastes of ibe thirty guests
who gathered around the long; well
lighted table, adorned with spotless
linen, dainty ciiina, beautiful eul aud
potted flowers and a repast fit for the
palates ofkiugs, passed the liouis iu
mirth, good cheer and saying most
compliuiedtary things, right to the face
of their hollered guest. Haudsome
menu cards, as souvenirs, were placed
at each plate, and the outside contain
ed the following inscription:
“The Frederick Bar Association to
Hon. John T. Vinson, Juuuary 4tn,
1895."
The president of the Association, F.
J. Nelsou, presided and acted us toast
muster. Alter the delicious viauds had
been disposed of and the banqueters
lingered over their wine aud cigars, the
toasts were proposed and answered.
JUDGE M’SHERRY’S SPEECH.
To Chief Judge James McSherry,
the associate of the retiriug judge for a
number of years, was assigned the Hon
or of responding to the toast, “Our
Guest." The following girt of his elo
quent anil highly complimentary re
marks a ill interest our readers:
Mr. Chairman aud Geutlemeu: The
committee lias assigned to me a most
delicate task. If I could speak of the
judge as I would sneak of the imper
sonal court, my labor would ha less dif
ficult; but standing face to face with
one who has been officially aud per
sonally associated with us and whose
honorable judicial career is about to
eud, it is no easy undertaking, with
out seeming to he fulsome, to say .the
things one would most wish to utter.
But 1 must not falter, aud closing my
eyes to his personal preseuee I am go
ing to give voice right before him to
the same sentiments that I have often
expressed behind his back.
This gathering of the bar is au emi
nently fitting tribute to Judge Vinson,
which is alike richly merited by him
aud highly credituble to them. The
close aud intimate relations which
hind the bench and the bar together
ought ever to be most cordial. The
mission of the judge aud Lite associate
is the even-handed administration of
tile law. In the great, onerous and
exacting task the absolute indepen
dence of tile advocate should never be
invaded by assumed prerogatives of the
judge aud the bonds of the latter’s del
icate and trying functions should be
scrupulously regarded by the former.
Then each iu his appropriate sphere,
without encroachment on the rights of
the other, will with mutual respect
aud becoming deference, perform his
allotted part in the orderly dispensa
tion of justice.
For more than thirty, years 1 have
with just prnle noted, that amongst the
distinctive characteristics of the Fred
erick bur have been its manly inde
pendence, its high character, its intel
lectuality aud its respect for the
judges who have occupied seats upon
tiie bench; and this assemblage empha
sises iu a marked dtgree the trutli of
these observations. Iu honoring Judge
Vinson us you have, you do much cred
it to yourselves. He has been a faithful,
iiouest, upright and considerate judge.
11l the words of Shylock, "It doth ap
r:ur you are a worthy judge.” To this
bear most willing testimony, both us
a lawyer who once practiced before
him and as a judge, who has sat by his
side aud shared his judicial labors.
It is meu of ids high sense of honor
and of his spotless integrity who grace
the noble profession of law and who
give to ils administration a diguity
and a lofty character that command
the public coiffideuce. His patieuce
to hear the fuels, his diligence to apply
the law aud Ills scrupulous desire to do
right iu every case coupled witli his
kindness of heart and nis mercy for
theerriug, and his unrutlled manner
und bearing toward all, have always
beeu those of the cultivated gentle
man.
Huch a man as Judge Vinson wus
bound to win the respect and esteem of
the bur; uud this respect and esteem he
takes with him iu his retirement from
the bench. He takes not only this,
but he tukes, too, lLie gcod opinion and
well-wishes of all his lellow-citizeus,
without regard to their political affili
ations; uud iu behalf of us all I assure
him he leaves us with the highest eco
uium thut any man can earn—a unan
imous judgment without a single dis
sent, Dial lie lias been au honest aud
faithful judge. This is the judgment
of tiie bur and of the people of Fred
erick County. He hap been u typical
judge; yielding not to'the iuliuence of
passion or prejudice, recognizing and
conceding the liberties of the bur and
steadily und persistently setting his
face ugaiust injustice, oppression aud
wrong. We cau ill afford to be depriv

session of all his faculties, full ot honor
aud credit aud with a good name, that

aud his children’s children.
JUDGE VINSON’S REPLY.
At the conclusion of the speaker’s re
. marks, which were most attentively
listened to uud greeted with uuaui
’ mous upproval, Judge Viuson, visi
bly moved at the preceding panegyric,
slowly arose uud iu a clear voice re
plied:
“I consider it a high honor aud
. great privilege to be entertained by the
bar of Frederick. It is peculiarly dis
tinguished for its learning and ability.
■ Mauy importaut legal principles that
. have become the settled law of the
Hiate have originated here. The mau
uer iu which cases are prepared aud
tried by the members of this bar has
• always been a mutter of worthy com
i incut. The ingenuity devised to make
. them perfect shows advanced legal
knowledge. The remarks of Judge
1 McSherry have excited in me tne
t deepest emotion aud my heart throbs
I at your kindness. 1 am not vain
. enough to think that I deserve all
that has been said about me. I rather
take it that it is due to the Judge’s
i warm personal friendship for me. He
, has beeu to my faults a little bliud and
, to my virtues very kind. But 1 am
deeply affected by all this aud am
sure ttiat I am thankful beyond ex
- pressiou tor these lesliinouials of your
I professional respect and personal es
teem.
JUDGE LYNCH’S ADDRESS.
( Judge Lyucli, associated iu like ca
pacity with Judge Viusou on the
1 beuch, replied to the toast, “The Judic
iary.” He said among oilier things:
“It would be strange to you, I know, 111 did
not on tins occasion make a complaint. I com
plain therefore, because 1, being myself a inem
, ber of die judiciary, liave been selected to re
' spoud to inis toast, for what 1 may say must
be applied to myself as well as tiie others.
There are 2) judges iu this state, therefore you
must only p.aee one twenty-ninth of my re
„ murks to tuy credit. Seriously, lire judiciary
of Maryland have always beeu distinguished
- I fir their integrity und conscientious discharge
lof duty. 1 have beeu on the beuch thirty
3 ■ years and in that time I have always found
1 tiie judges oi this State to beuble, industrious
aim conscientious uud all of service to me in
, discharging my own duty. As laird Bacon
I says, “Integrity is tiie proper virtue of a
] judge." And I have found tins true of all the
judges in tnis State. All the ehiei judges
ot our higher court have beeu peculiary dlslm
> guislied men. Ulance over the loug list, and
) you will tlnd that no Stale iu the Union bus
. furnished an abler body of Jurists andcltizeus.”
After brietly eulogizing such menus Judges
' Benjamin Kumsey, Towuiey Chase, John Bu
. cliaoiian, Stevenson, Archer, Dorsey, Bowie,
f Bartol, Alvey and the present Chief Judge of
the Appeals Court, John M. Robinson, lie paid a
r glowing tribute to Judge Miller aud Judge Me-
S cherry. ‘ Notwithstanding," he said, tnat we
I i think so highly of these gentlemen who have
occupied tire chief places on Hie bench, there
= liave been many opinions written by associate
1 Judges, now lying crumbling among the ar
> Chives, that shows eminent ability, talents,
' and sound law. “i’he opinions aud decisions
1 of the Judges of Maryland, assisted by the
t members ot the bur, iiuve given tone to ttie
[. State. The judiciary of Maryland has, too,
been noluldy pure. There has never been a
- case of the impeachment of a judge in this
1 commonwealth. Again quoting from I<ord
. Boco:i,u goodjudge isajudge who gives a pa
tient hearing to ail eases, ‘he uot an overs peak
ing judge. 1 So I will obey that injunction, but
> before 1 sit down I want to say that all Judge
.McSherry lias said about Judge Vinson is true
’ in word uud letter. I have beeu ou tiie bench
with him twelve years. I liave always found
him industrious, faithful, conscientious und
. fearless in the discharge of his duty. There
I can he no greater quulitleution for a judge than
uprightness and fearlessness, and botli of these
s he lias. No one regrets liis leaving the bench
i more than I do. My assouiations with him
h ive been most agreeable. May he long live
• toeujoy the blessings of this life.’’
The Hon. Milton G. Urner wittily
, replied to tiie toast " The President of
1 the United States,” aud his remarks
- were received with many plaudits of
r approval.
Mr. Charles W. Ross had quite an
- amusing time interpreting the elastic
meaning of “The Bar,” which toast
2 he was scheduled to reply to. His re
t minks teemed with a keen sense of
2 humor and liis tribute to Judge Vin
- son was in keeping with all that had
- been said.
1 Dr. Charles Hoffman responded to
- the toast “Our Country,” iu place of
2 Mr. Motter, who was absent, and as
J usual delighted liis hearers with a
- wealtli of bright sayings aud anecdotes.
2 The toasts “Our Boys,” and “Our
• Girls,” were cleverly replied to by
t Messrs. Frank C. Norwood and Ed
- ward S. Eichelberger.
J At tiie conclusion of the regular

SHOOKSTOWN.
. Jan. 8, 1895.
, As we iiave bid farewell to the dying
■ year, let us enter upon tiie new with
s brighter hopes aud stronger resolutions.
Let us day by day gain iu knowledge
aud virtue, and although it may seem
but little, yet when tiie end of the pres
ent year approaches, we will scarcely
realize what a storehouse of knowledge
we have founded, and how well we are
rewarded for every kind act. Sellish
ness has grown to be the monster of
the present age, and by tracing back
we will find it to be the cause of every
difficulty. If people would be kind
' aud love each other as neighbors
• should, and let “equality” stand aloft
, as their ruling star, by the time we are
■ about to enter upon another year we
, would find happiness reigning every
where, aud our needy poor well cared
, for.
The weatner at present is simply tei
rible. Continual raiu aud thawing
snow make our couuty roads very
much like a river bed. Nevertheless,
pleasure is always costly, and alter eu
. joying a few weeks of excellent sleigh
ing, how unjust we would be to mur
mur against a few rainy days. Ice has
been very plentiful, and our farmers
liave stored away a supply. Ice had
i readied the thicknessof about otic foot.
■ Some ponds were completely frozen
i through during that wintry blast.
Miss Katie Barton, of Thurmont,
spent a few days of last week at the
home of your correspondent. Owing
to the unpleasant weather, she was un
able to enjoy the interesting features of
your city and surroundings.
Mr. J. F. Summers left Frederick for

spent the holidays with ills daughter,
Mrs M. J. Haelbeck. He returned on
Thursday last well pleased with his
visit.
Mr. George McKinzie, who was
thought to have been seriously injured
iu the B. &0. Railroad accident, near
Mr. Grove's lime kilus, lias greatly
improved and is able to walk about
again. A full account of this accident
has already .appeared iu the Citizen,
so it is needless to state more concern
ing the affair, excepting that our black
smith, Mr. Edward Staley, is repairing
the wagon and is finding it in a worse
condition than was expected. Suffice
It to say, that they were very lucky iu
getting off even as well as they did
witii this accident.
Our public school has resumed its
studies, us usual, after the holiday fes
tivity. We have a large number ou
the roll, about as many as one teacher
cares to mauage.
Mr. Emanuel Eckenrode and son,
of Mt. St. Mary’s. Md„ paid a brief
cal l at the home of your correspondent,
Friday evening. After visiting some
of their friends at this place, they re
turned Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs E. L. Summers, of this
place, spent Friday last with friends
near New Market. Md. They returned
in the evening well satisfied with their
trip, but most frozen by their drive.
The lawsuit of Mr. Wickless vs. Gon
o. of this place, causes much comment
at present. Quite a variety of ideas
are expressed concerning the contest,
many of which are as vague as others
are noticeable.
Through these dismal winter months
we liud it very hard to furnish news,
but when tiie bright days of spring
once more arrive, then we hope to find
items that will be more interesting
than those of my present letter.

The rain and warm south wind
which have prevailed since last even- ]
in have spoilt the sleighing, which j
was most excellent.
_ Nearly everybody has his ice-house
filled; in fact, we never knew of so
much ice being gathered in so short a
time.
We are glad to know that Mr. Eli
Waugh, a cierk in S. B. Ferris’ store
of this place, who has been ill from
djphtheria, is again out. This dreaded
disease is still lingering in our neigh
borhood. Five of Mr. Morningstar’s
children, here in town, were sick with
the same disease, but all are now bet
ter.
The remains of the dear little daugli
er of Mr. Oliver Norris, living about
three miles west of here, were brought
to Beaver Dam Cemetery, near here,
on Wednesday last, for interment. El
der G. K. Sappington officiating. He
had been her teacher in the public
schools for several years, and while
little Emma was but 13 years of age,
he said she was undoubtedly the
brightest child he had ever taught in
his long school experience. She leaves
a kind father and mother with many
friends to mourn her loss.
THURMONT.
January 9th. 1895.
After nine days of good sleighing—slush,
well, who cares; nine days in a stretch of real
good sleighing is something to brag of any
how.
A very heavy shower of hail, just at the
dawn of day, on last Sunday morning, proved
to be a preliminary to an all-day rain, and an
ideal day of rest, which, unqualifiedly it was.
Mr. John C. Weller isconilned to the house
with an attack of pleurisy.
Mr. Christian Harman is spending the
winter with Mr. Samuel J. Scott’s family, in
I’hilipsburg, Pa.
Mr. and Mrs Win. Six are spending the
winter with Mr. and Mrs. Howard Schneur,
Selinsgrove, Pa.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shipley- are wintering
in Baltimore.
Levi Boring, aged 80 years, whose death
occurred at the home of his son-in-law, Mr.
Prank Webb, in the vicinity of Eicholtz’s
mill, was buried in Kminitsburg yesterday.
Soon as the snow and frost round about
town disappears, there will he available for
sale, low, 2,0110,090 perches cobble-stones.
Our roads up here will not need recoating un
til the year 1973
Should the Western Maryland R. R at any
time become snow-bound or otherwise dis
abled, and, likewise the county roads, there
might occur a flour and teed famine in Thur
mont. We might, in connection herewith,
mention that a good flouring Jmill located
here would be highly appreciated by our people.
Owing to our monied citizens not seeing
their way clear to subscribe to the stock of
the American Signal Co’s. Works, which are
located here, or owing to their tardiness in
doiug so, this very desirable industry will
most likely soon be classed with the already
long listof obsolete industries of this section.
Hail, rain and snow, alternately aud mixed,
characterized Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and
to-day in thisvsection of country, and the end
seems not yet.
How to Pass Pleasantly the Long
Winter Nights.
After the pleasures of the Christmas
season, give some thought to your lit
erary eutetainnient for the rest of the
winter i.ouths, when nights are long
and dreary without some means of
passing away to some purpose, the
lingering hours from the cessation of
work until bed time. A good book af
fords diversion and profitable pleasure
to young and old, and is a necessary
auxiliary to any weil appointed house
hold. Without reading, one’s miud
becomes s a “run down field,” incapa
ble of cultivation and a useless pos
session. These days of cheap books,
no one should be without a large and
carefully selected library. You owe it
to yourself, your ctiildren and t lie gen
eral welfare of the nation. Tiie Citi
zen Premium Library coutains the
gems of standard literature and at a
price almost incomprehensible. Just
thiukof the best works of the great writ
ers of poetry and prose selling for ten
(lO)cents. You or anyone can get them
by sending to this office one coupou aud
ten (10) cents for every book you se
lect from the list published each week
in tiie Citizen. Save your nickels
and dimes, aud provide a proper quali
ty of reading material for your homes.
We iiave never had a complaint about
the books, and one order always means
many more. You should become a
subscriber to the Citizen Premium
Library.
A Sleighing Accident.
What might have proved a very ser
ious, if not a fatal accident, occurred
last Saturday afternoon late, whilst
Mr. E. D. Grove and wife were enjoy
ing the delightful sleighing on 'the
North Market street road, near this
city. Tiie bit in tiie mouth of the young
horse they were driving, by some unac
countable means broke, frightening
the auimal and causing a runaway.
Before much headway hud been gain
ed, Mrs. Grove safely jumped out and
a moment later her husband lauded on
tiie snow-covered ground in a differ
ent manner; tiie sleigh being upset
and the driver thrown out. Neither
one was in any manner injured, and
but for a slight shaking up, are none
tiie worse off for their experience.
The sleigh was only slightly damaged
and the horse ran to his stable at the
Lime Kilns, near town, with only a
few straps of harness remaining Intact.
Two Middletown Weddings.
Says the Valley Register: On Thurs
day night, the 27th ultimo, a pretty
home wedding occurred at the resi
dence of Mr. Win. L. Guyton, at Ar
lioldstown, about four miles southwest
of Middletown. The contracting par
ties were Mr. Ohrmn A., sou of Mr.
and Mrs. John H. Kepler, of near this
place, aud Miss Lovelta C., daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Guyton The cere
mony was performed by Elder David
Aushermau. Tiie groomsmen were
Willie Guyton ana Samuel Zeclier,
aud the bridesmaids Miss Daisy Flunk
and Miss Angeline Mullendore. After
the nuptials a delicious dinner was
served.
THE “ PHILIES ” FEASTED.
Proprietor Long Tenders the Mem
bers of the Philharmonic Orches
tra an Excellent Repast —The
Fame of the Proverbial “Feast of
Reason and Flow of Soul” Ex
ceeded by the Delicious Deli
cacies and Liquid Refreshments.
The banquet board at the Carlin
House, could it give utterance to the
thoughts hid beneath its snow-white,
damask bosom, would speak in various
language of the joy and frolicsome do
ings of the past seven days, and others
which have gone before. Last Friday
night was celebrated a complimentary
dinner by the members of the Freder
ick Bar Association, to Judge John T.
Vinson, upon his retirement from the
; bench, and Wednesday evening a jolly
I crowd of Philharmonics (our well
| known amateur musical oaganizatiou), j
and their friends, as guests of Mr. P.
E. Long, the “prince of entertainers,” |
as he was aptly termed in one of the 1
short but eloquent after-dinner talks, i
made merry the tleeting hours and did '
justice to the plentiful provisions pro- '
vided for their well known appetites.
Many times before have the same gen
tlemen been placed under similar cir
cumstances, and each time they have 1
carried their colors through the lines of j
gastronomic abundance to a safe dis- i
tance beyond. “Governor” Rhodes, at 1
the request of the host, gracefully pre
sided over the festive gathering, and ;
called upon each person in turn to lur- ,
nisli their share of wit and sparkling
impromptu oratory, which makes such
occasions especially delightful. By the
time the cigars were handed around,
quite a number of the hoys were hardly
able to deliver tlie little speeches they
had, of course, prepared, (although
none of them would acknowledge it),
on account of a fullness that pre
vented clear and distinct delivery;
a peculiar sense of hushfullness, too
overpowering to be easily thrown off;
the sudden awakening to the fact "that
they were no speech makers,” and not
a few simply “reiterated' 1 what had
been said by others. But it must lie
understood that some made clever ad
dresses, among them being “Secretary
Miller,” “Flutesy Rhodes,” “Doc Ea
der,” “Doc McCurdy,” the surgeon of
the orchestra, and Clias. Wertheimer,”
who told about how lie lost his knife,
and other stories. Folger McKmsey
read an original poem, “When’er
the Philharmonics Play,” which was
highly enjoyed by all for its appropri
ateness. Mr. F. J. Nelson made a short
address, and Proprietor Long, after a
few witty remarks, cut ins discourse
“short” upon a call of “Sit down
Smith.” But Prof. Smith would come
up, and the way he sang delighted even
“the savage breast.” Upon repeated
encores he turned the tallies upon the
assembly by singing in sweet accord
that gem of modern madness, "Sweet
Marie.” This brought down the house.
After all the short talks were finished,
the boys lingered at the table many
moments, chatting pleasantly oyer their
bumpers of beer (no wine this time),
relating amusing reminiscences of the
past on similar occasions, and hoping
that no very long time would elapse be
fore another spread is held at the Car
lin House. Among those present were:
Messrs. F. T. Rhodes, E. D. Grove,
Clias. Wertheimer, Harry Grove, C. E.
Howard, E. C. Marked, Bert Eader,
Albert Wallis, Robert Tyson, Grayson
fioilbrs, Clias. Keefer, T. 3. Eader,
George Edward Smith, F. B. Rhodes,
Elias Ramsburg, Samuel Duvall, I. J.
McCurdy. Folger McKinsey, F. J. Nel
son, E. A. Grove, Dudley Page, Gregg
Miller, Frank Eisenhauer, J. E. Doll,
P. E. Long, Elmer Waltinan, C. E.
Moberly, Jr., and C. F. Baughman.
Before retiring the boys gave three
cheers and a tiger for their hospitable
host, and it is needless to say they were
:• given right heartily.
f Another Effort.
, Another effort is being made by the
citizens of Middletown Valley to resur
rect the corpse of the Electric Railway
’ proposition, which, like the Democratic
party, was so completely snowed un
der, witli some prospects of success. If
the chances of the future of the railroad
j were as bright as those of the political
t party referred to, we would expect to
ride next summer to “Braddock
.. Heights,” “Middletown,” and on t >
. Hagerstown. A little confidence is all
| that is necessary. If euougli money is
t subscribed ttie projectors will guaran
tee the success of the enterprise.
i
Ice For the B & O.
Mr. John T. Best, our progressive
. farmer, was engaged recently in fur
i nishing ice for tlie Baltimore and Ohio
. Railroad Company, cutting the same
from Bush Creek, which runs for a
t great distance parallel with tlie tracks
, of the above road. The ice was at
, least ten (10) inches thick and of re
, markable clearness and solidity. (Jude
a number of cars were loaded witli the
chrystalized liquid, and it is probably
the first time the company has placed
an order in this county.
Froze to Death.
- On Tuesday last, William Molton, an
■ aged colored man, who Inis been doing odd
* cores for farmers in the neighborhood of Point
r of Rocks, this county, was found dead in a
1 Held on Mr Edward Pry's place, near Wash
r ington Junction, last Tuesday. Thesupposi
’ tion is that being in an intoxicated condition,
[ he sank down from sheer exhaustion and froze
I to death. Some whiskey and a small quan
; tity of money was found upon his person.

To Help the Poor.
In the vicinity of Point of Rocks,
this county, exist a number of cases of
destitutiou aud pitiable want. The
great ueed seems to partake of the na
ture of clothing, and the local minis
ter, Mr. Trapueil, has called upon Rev.
Osborn lugle, of all Saints Episcopal
Church, this city, to render whatever
assistance was in his power. Public
attention was called to the matter, and
a large box of supplies was forwarded
for distributiou. It is to be hoped that
every effort will be made in all places
to help aud succor the poor aud unfor
tunate, especially in this season of cold
and discomfort, for the Lord save
“Blessed is he who giveth in My
name.”
Electric Bitters.
This remedy is becoming so well
known and so popular as to ueed no
special mention. All who have used
Electric Bitters sing the same soug of
praise. A purer medicine does not ex
ist and it is guaranteed to do all that is
claimed. Electric Bitters will cure all
diseases of the Liver and Kidneys, will
remove Pimples, Boils, Salt Rheum
and other affections caused by impure

Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, 111., was told by her doctors she
had Consumption aud that there was
: no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr.
King’s New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her
1 life. Mr. Thomas Eggers, 139 Flor
ida street, San Francisco, suffered
from a dreadful cold, approaching
l Consumption, tried without result
everything else, then bought oue
bottle of Dr. Kiug’s New Discovery
and in two weeks was cured. He is
naturally thankful. It is such results,
of which these are samples, that prove
tlie wonderful efficacy of this medicine
in Coughs anti Colds. Free trial bottles
at Garrott & Pearre’s Drug Store. Reg
ular size 50c. and SI.OO.
“Old, yet ever new, and simple and
beautiful ever,” sings tlie poet, in
words which might well apply to Ay
er’s Sarsaparilla—the most efficient
aud scientific blood-purifier ever otter
ed to suffering humanity. Nothing
but superior merit keeps it so long at
the front.
Tile best anodyne and expectorant
for the cure of colds, coughs, and all
throat, lung, and bronchial troubles, is
undoubtedly, Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
the (inly specific for colds and coughs
admitted on exhibition at the World’s
Fair.
