PROM SHOP AND MILL. Representatives of the Various Trades of St. Paul Make Reports as to the State of Work. Maj. Newson Sends the Trades As sembly a Communication on Convict Labor. Tlie Manufacture of Boots and Shoes One of tlie Leading: Industries of St. Paul. «' A Sermon to ahe Masses" by a Min neapolis Socialist- -L.a"\vs to Protect the Poor. THE TRADES ASSEMBLY. A Large Attendance aud a New Start— He port* Irani the Trades. The attendance at the Trades and Labor assembly Friday evening was exceptionally large. The reports of the different trades ■were as follows: Cigaruiakers, fair, with all union men at work; painters, slack; boots and shoes, very good; plumbers, fair; gas fitting, very good; steam fitting, dull; carpenters, slow at present, with indications of improvement in the near future; agri cultural implements, booming; iron mold ers, work fair, all union men at work, and the union the strongest it has ever been, every iron molder in the city being a mem ber; printing was reported dull, but as showing a shade on the improvement side. E. J. Jordan was elected vice-president and James Morrow treasurer to fill vacancies. President Harroun appointed the following standing committees: Press, H. T. Kain, E. J. Murphy, tT.'F. Hourihan; credentials, F. J. Casserly, J. H. Guyett. G. 1). Dowdell; auditing , J. J. Ken nedy, Ed CamcD, Charles Joubert; printing , P. H. Cole, J. P. O'Neil, F. S. Smith; public meetings and entertainments. A. L. Kobiiison, M. T. Kaiu, J. Michels; grievances from locals, E. J. Jordan, F. J. Casseriy, Thomas Ward: arbitration, James Morrow, Kobert Newell, William Henry. A communication from T. M. Newson was read, wherein he stated that he had been misrepresented on the convict labor question, caused probably by some remarks lie had made at a recent meeting of the Labor lyceuni. Among other things he suggested that a solution of this question might possibly be reached by the state pur chasing one or more GRANITE QUARRIES on the Mississippi river, and have the stone taken out in its natuial condition by con victs, and then turned over to honest skilled labor to dress and polish, thus util izing a home product, giving union men work at home and furnishing a means of competition as against the convict dressed stone now being shipped into the state, as well as employing our own convicts where other laborers could not be profitably util ized. Notice was received from the Minneapolis Trades and Labor assembly, by delegates, that a committee of five from that organ ization had been appointed to . consult on matters ot moment to both sides, and a committee of the same number was ap pointed to confer with it. The articles of agreement between the Knights of Labor and the Minnesota Shoe company were read, and considerable satisfaction ex pressed, as this is the first manufacturing concern in the state to adopt the K. ot L. label. It was decided that in the future the business of the assembly be transacted in executive session. LOCAL BITS. A few days ago the employes of John Hart, cigar manufacturer, at 794 Stillwater street, struck. The trouble was In relation to the adoption of the new schedule, upon which Mr. Hart kicked. He is now advertising 1 widely for non-union men. The Typographapbical union at its last meeting decided to raise the schedule to 40 cents cm morning newspapers, 35 cents on evening papers and $16 a week for job work. .No formal demands have yet been made on the employers. The Chicago. Burlington & Northern Rail way company will construct shops and yards near the state tish hatchery below the city. The cigar makers' union has withdrawn its delegates to the Trades assembly and ap pointed a new set in their places. ,■ lhe bricklayers' union has withdrawn from the Trades assembly, saying that it is strong enough to stand alone. The employes of the Omaha shops with their friends picnicked at Prior lake last Saturday. The Knights of Labor picnic at Lake Cal houu Aug. 9 promises to be an immense affair. The Minnesota Shoo company will begin using the Knights of Labor label this week. The West St. Paul iron foundry is running and the brass foundry will start up soon. James Morrow will take a position in Lover ing's shoe store in a few days. BOOTS AND SHOES. Something: About a Growing Indus- Miry in TSiis City. One of the important elements in St. Paul's industrial greatness is the manufac ture of boots and shoes, which has reached the value of millions annually and gives employment to several hundred men, ■women and children. A leisurly trip through a factory is an interesting experience. The Minnesota Shoe com pany is now prominently bsfore the labor world as being the first and only firm in the Northwest to use the K. of L. label. Up in the third floor of this establishment may be seen James Morrow, Mr. Guyett and J. W. Piper, who are well known as prominent in the work of organized labor in this city. This factory has been running three years and is the only one in the North west confined exclusively to womens' and childrens' shoes. In the different depart ments of the work here about 150 skilled men and more or less skilled women and children find constant employment. The second floor is devoted to cutting and to the manufacture of hand made goods. Throughout the whole factory each operative is louud do ing but one thing, and a shoe is passed through a great many hands before it is ready fur the case. Hand-made shoes are made inside out, and when ready for finishing are turned like a mitten. With machine-made shoes nearly every step throughout the process is done, by ingenious machinery, which will perform the labor of several men. Bfl ONE LARGE MACHINE sews the soles on machine-made shoes in about four seconds. When it is ready to be heeled by another machine the work is done by a single blow, and in the next wink of an eye the same machine trims and shapes the heel. As the shoe passes from one machine to another it receives a touch here from one. a touch there from another, and by another it is polished or sandpapered. One small machine operated by a lady cuts button holes and works them, completing a row down a shoe in a minute or two. Another small machine sews on buttons at an antonishing rate and along long tables girls sit before various machines, each doing a small part towards the completion of each shoe. There are a great many interesting processes not mentioned, and the system and speed that prevails throughout a factory is admirable. Another shop is employing about 150 oper atives. The same general system and types of machinery before mentioned may be seen in operation here. Perhaps the most interesting machine here is the one which puts in the screws, which now largely take the place of pegs and nails. A brass wire upon which threads are cut is fed into the shoe sole as it passes rapidly along under the wire which is re volving at the rate of 2,400 revolutions a minute and is cut automatically when it has gone far enough into the sole. The business is a growing one and will in the future assume vast proportions in this city. THE DISTRICT ASSEMBLY. Tbe Fleeting- of the State K. of L. Organization at Winoiia. The quarterly meeting of the district as sembly K. of L. was held in Winona last Sunday. The assembly was cordially fvelcomed by the mayor of the city. An address was prepared to the knights throughout the state, counseling them on the course to be pursued in the coining «u.mpal;jn, and demanding legislation as follows; The establishment of a bureau of . labor statistics! laws guarding, the health j and safety of workinguien; provisions 'for legal arbitration; prohibiting the employ- ! ment of children under 15 years of age; four teen delegates were elpctr 1 to attend f - the' next general assembly, ; : ...i the assembly adjourned to meet in Slillwater on the Third Sunday iv September. - "A MACHINE FOR STRIKING'" Charges Against the K. of L. That : Should be Answered. The Railway Master Mechanic of Chi cago in a recent number printed the follow ing attack upon the Knights of Labor, which is quoted for the purpose of afford ing the friends of the order an opportunity of answering some direct charges against it that should not be allowed to pass unno ticed. Whatever may have been the purpose of those who organized the Knights of Labor at the first; whatever may now be the theoretical objects of the organization as they are stated by its official head, the simple, plain fact is that it is a machine for striking. In order to organize and maintain a great standing army some hundreds of thousands of men are fed, clothed, taught to stand straight, to perform • various motions with accuracy and grace, to march in orderly ranks, etc. But if one should explain that the purpose of the stand ing armies of Europe is to feed and clothe the soldiers and to make them stand erect and move gracefully he would talk sheer non sense. Standing armies mean war. That is what they are for, and if no one ever meant I to make war there would be no standing armies. So the machinery of the organiza tion called the Knights of Labor is devised to promote • strikes and to make them so effec ive — is, so injurious to employers — that this object will always be accomplished. §£There are two methods by which employers can be brought to meet the demands of em ployes; by reason and by force. If the or ganization in question really has for its main object the advancement of the interest of the wageworker by peaceful means, then its ma chinery ought to be adapted to this method. But what are the means by which opinions are changed? By what peaceful methods can employers be convinced that they are in the wrong— they are in the wrong— and that the wageworkers are in the right, and that their demands are just and reasonable? It must be by discussion, by argument in news papers, in books, in debates, in conversations. These are methods adopted by our churches, by our political parties, and in all the most important matters of life. But the organization in question does not adopt this method. It has no such ammuni tion in its arsenal. The army is not organized 1 ' for that kind of warfare. It is organized not I to convince, but to compel. Free discussion,., careful consideration, arguments, facts, flg ures,lessous drawn from history — such means of accomplishing their ends are not used by the organization called Knights of Labor. It does not argue, it does not reason, it does not teach— it simply threatens and injures. It says to the employer, "If you do not grant our demand we will stop work. If that does not force you to yield, the employes of all of those with whom you have business relations shall stop work. And while we refuse to work we will see that no one else works in our places. If you dare try to bring us to your terms we will strike — you refuse to accede to our terms we will strike. Yield or be ruined." The evident aim and effort of the Knights of Labor has been to get so many wage workers in the ganization that a strike would be practically irresistible. The leaders have argued that if all who work for wages could be persuaded to join the organization and surrender to the domination of its officers their bodies aud their souls, then, when they "went out" no one could be found to take their places, and manufacturers and railways would be compelled to yield. And they have been amazingly successful. The extent to which workingmen have flocked to this or ganization, surrendered their wills, their opinions and their personal interests is re markable. In their surrender of personal in dependence and their fear of standing up for what they feel to be right, and best, they have become sheep. Their timidity, their blind obedience to officers who know no more than they dj is something new in this country. If the Knights of Labor organization had for its object to discuss the iclations of em ployes and employers to enlighten the igno rant workman, to persuade him to support schools and churches by the hundred instead of saloons by the thousand, and to bring about a condition of things in which the best workman should eet the best pay instead of being kept down in wages to the level of his cureless, incompetent associates, we - might expect It to be a permanent institution. But as it has no machinery for accomplishing such purposes, but, on the contrary, is sim ply organized to frighten and force employers to meet the demands of its members, its ex istence must necessarily be temporary. The world, in the long run, is governed by reason. In spite of temporary outbursts of unspeak able idiocy the conclusions reached by the public mind are correct. And this sober second thought of the public long ago reached the conclusion that law ana order are better than passion and force. An organization whose influence, if not whose avowed purpose, is to bring about disorder and to ignore law cannot last long. All the tremendous forces of business, social and civil life will gradually concentrate to oppose it, and where they oppose resistance is useless. • The Knights of Labor has shown Itself to be a standing army, prompt to create disorder and mischief. It has cost the work ingmen in this country a thousand times more than it has benefited them. It is an army for which a peaceful and free country, in which a man's manhood and capacity are the measure of his value, has no use. * No skillful man who means to rise in life can afford tc tie himself down by membership in such an organization. It cannot help him. No railway or manufacturing company can afford to yield to the dominance of such an organization. And if they will stand firm, the sober second thought of the great public will bring all the most powerful forces of law, order and government to their side. And out of the shattered fragments of this great and dangerous organization, societies and associations may be formed which will uphold by rational and effective method, the dignity of labor, and secure to the laborer large rights and large rewards by making him worthy of them. :«SERMON TO THE MASSES." A Minneapolis Socialist Corrects Some Alleged Untruthful Asser tion*.. To the Editor of the Globe. The Chicago Tribune of July 21 has the fol lowing in its editorial columns: The developments in the anarchists' trial make. a sermon preached to the masses. Here is re-, vealed'the real quality of the socialistic idea (for anarchism is but exaggerated socialism) and the evidence ot the witnesses in this case thus be comes instructive to everybody. Here is the tale of blind reasoning leading into gravest crime. Words cannot express the atrocity and danger of such sermons when "preached to the masses. The injustice of the charge mad by the Tribune and by other leading papers that we, the Knights of Labor, the members of trades union organizations in short, "the masses," are responsible for the existence of the anarchists and anarchism is so great and so cruel as to excite deep feel ing against the authors and publishers of it. Is it npt dangerous to convince one class of citizens that the other and more numer ous is composed of villains and madmen? That they are directly responsible for the existence aud wickedness of men who manu facture bombs for use in crowded streets, and who propose to overturn all institutions at a blow? It is the same old game — a most devilish and dangerous game — that has always failed. Call us "mad dogs" until you get up the hue and cry against vs — is it not possible that we may become mad, indeed, and turn upon our pursuers? There are thousands of socialists who stand high as citizens, writers, ministers of the gos pel and philanthropists. They advocate, in various ways — all peaceable — reforms in 60 --ciety. They do not attack society. They up hold it; they wish to preserve, and therefore to puri fy it. To call such men anarchists is base slander. Anarchy is opposition to so ciety in tvery form in which it has hitherto been seen. To make the readers of the Tribune believe that the masses sympathize with or believe in, the doctrines of the Spies, Parsons & Co., is to prepare those readers lor deadly work. Cowards, with arms in their hands, are as dangerous as fools who do not know when their guns are loaded. They may commence bad work that brave men would shun. If we, the masses, are ready for anarchy, then are Republican and or Democratic insti tutions a failure. It a century of experience has resulted in the majority being willing to give up law and order, and ruin the work, then there is no hope. "If the blind lead the blind, shall not they both fall into the ditch." We, the masses, have been advised by able editors to "hang the anarchists," in mob style, to vindicate ourselves! God help us when such folly is offered us as a chunk of that wisdom^which Solomon considers bettor than so much gold. Vindicate ourselves from a charge that is at once a he, a slander and a gross insult, and that, too. by violation of law, order and maybe, of justice. It would be more justifiable to hang the fellows that urge us to do wrong in this way. We are not "them asses" that these stupid or shameless column-fillers consider us. We have some common sense left yet. We arc law-abiding citizens, and intend to be so; but if blood comes, we shall have the power and .*gg-ST: : PAUL DAILY GLOBE. STHTDAT MOBmSTG.

They will be, in' a large degree, responsible for arraying ; class against class — and the bloodshed— let it be on their beads, calling unto God and man for vengeance. Minneapolis, July 23. A Socialist. LABOH|GUARD£D. The Need of Laws to Protect the . .: .. . . . Poor. To the Editor of the Globe: . Although the time for the next meeting of our legislature is yet way off, we may never theless be Justified in touching upon a ques tion or two in regar d to which some near future will hare to bring new developments. As far as the labor question hitherto has been attended to, the heaviest strain has been brought to bear upon the standard of wages, Shorter hours of 101 l and abolition of contracted prison labor as a competitor with the production of freemen. It goes without saying, that all these issues are important enough to make them the advance points ou thepiogram. But everybody who is a little posted about the progress of time will know that every question connected with the promotion of the right of man, bears in itself the tendency of perpetual evolution ar.d that with every point gained comes a new one to band to be ob tained. This fact cannot be applied more forcibly to any cause than to the labor ques tion in our country. Beyond the three issues mentioned above, there are numerous points to be settled in order to subuue the greed of speculative capitalism and elevate the classes, who are the foundation to all our progress — lv order to right wrongs, which no improve ment obtainable in wages and work-hours can mend, at least for half a century to come. Foremost among those points we will mime a legislation establishing more security for lives and health of laboring men aud women at the hands of their employers. When we read about shocking mine accidents, frequently brought about by neglect or lailing on the part of the management to provide sufficient menus of safety, when we see laborers car ried home killed or crippled by cracked scaf folds and tumbling buildings, where the cause lies with similar negligence* on the part of the contractors, superintendents, inspect ors'or owners, we are touched to — all of us. But going further into those cases and knowing how difficult — for not to say impos sible is for sufferers to get any sort of just compensation for themselves if only in jured, or for their surviving families in case of death, this slate of things must needs be come a great source of indignant vex ation to everybody who looks upon the life and welfare of fellow men with any sort of humane feeling. we repeat that with our present legislation it ,'is .practically next to impossible for a laborer $r| his family to obtain justice in cases of Tjuch inj urjous or fatal occurrences. Investi gations in most instances prove themselves of little avail, and then there is nothing left for the sufferer but private proceedings In court. And then — even if the complain* party has got money enough to secure legal assistance, or a lawyer may be found benevo lent enough to take the case on his own haz ard, it is ten to one that defendant has got more money than complainant has got or the lawyer cares to invest, and thence it goes wrangling with hearings and appeals from one court to another until finally the complaining party runs out .or tires out. The injury then becomes an outrage, and wholesale outrages like these ought to be stopped by this time. The com munity ought to be relieved from the humili ating knowledge that yet it harbors so much of barbarism. What at present pertains more to Eastern states, but is coming here with our growing manufacturing business, is the less judicious location and ventilation of factories and large shops, where male and female employes often fall into failing health and lingering disease from impure air and overexertion. In regard to these points we think that our next legislature has got a just cause for action, and a fair opportun ity .to make itself renowned and blessed by the far greatest part of humanity. It is — at least at present intention to try and outline in detail the measures to be taken, but the culpability of an employer, through carelessness or mercenary motives neglecting the safety of the employes, must be brought to bear more stringently upou the capitalistic element, and must be put down as criminal cases. Added to this, a step should be taken providing for the laboring classes and the poor in general a full free legal assist ance whenever a just cause required their going to law about differences with oppres sive employers or greedy capital. The ap proach to justice ought to be made open to all, and even more smooth to those who in all times past have had the lesser share of it. Minneapolis, July 23. T. MINNEAPOLIS KED HOTS.. The removal of the office of the district master workman. Knights of Labor, to St. Paul, while regretted by members of the order in Minneapolis, was recognized as a necessity. J. P. McGaughey, the district master workman, had more than he could attend to, and found it impossible to keep up with the great amount of correspondence that came pouring in on him. *** The projected building to contain suitable accommodations for the meetings of various labor organizations will no doubt be erected this fall. The enterprise is being enthusias tically supported. Stock subscriptions are being taken rapidly, and a number of enter tainments are being gotten up by the various organizations in different parts of the city for the purpose of raising funds. *** The building association will give an ex cursion and picnic at Lake Calhoun, Monday, Aug. 9, the proceeds of which are to go into the building fund. It is expected that Henry George will be present to deliver the princi pal address, and there will be speeches by Frederick Turner, secretary of the geueral board, K. of L., and others. The occasion should be made a general holiday tor the workingmen and their families. *** The various trades should not forget to re port at the next meeting of the Trades and Labor assembly upon tho condition of the different crafts in Minneapolis. *** In another column are presented some Statements concerning the Knights of Labor by the railway master mechanic, the publica tion issued at Chicago, which is perhaps bet ter known to many as the "Railway Purchas ing Agent," this being the name it has gone by until recently. The charges made in the article quoted are certainly worthy of refuta tion. While members of the Knights of Labor know their untruthf the general public. does not. 0.-;ll.-i i a'uiuiio .. *** J; -A;pothfcr ( speci.m len1 en of fallacious reasoning from ■• ; also premises is made by the same paper , as follows: "If it Is right for all the employes of all the railways or all the manufacturing estab lishments in a large district to strike because one of their number has been wrongfully dis charged, is it not right for the same railways or manufacturing establishments to lock out all their employes if one of the latter wrong fully breaks his contract by refusing to work for the time agreed on? Suppose a skilled workman agrees to finish a piece' of work by a certain time, but in the middle of it goes on a spree and does not return to the- shop. In this case a 'brother' — the employer. Is in jured. Is it not the duty of his brethren, that is all neighboring manufacturers, to 'stand by' him and refuse to give work or pay wages to any employe until the offending workman comes back and pays for all the loss he has caused? If Knight of Labor logic does not lead to that conclusion we shall be obliged to any one who will point out the reason why." MINNEAPOLIS MILLERS. The Knights of Labor organization has done considerable active work among the working millers of Minneapolis of late, and the con verts to the order are stated to be quite numerous. In some of the mills, it is said that there are very few of the men who are not already members. The millers have no separate assembly of their own. but join one of a mixed membership. The mill operatives say that in enterinir this organization they do so, not because they have any grievance, but cause they believe in the principle that labor should be organized, and that there are in existence monopolies whose interests are in conflict with labor and should be opposed. They recognize that their employers, with perhaps isolated exceptions, have treated them with liberality and fairness, and in their present course think that they are not with out the approval, in numerous instances, of the mill owners. — Northwestern Miller. About a year afro George Beleau, an em ploye of the Cataract mill, had the end of a ' thumb taken off in a bran duster. The acci dent had almost passed from memory, ' when on Monday it was revived in a peculiar man ner. While attending a set of rolls one of the millers discovered the severed portion of the thumb In the hopper. It had become lodged in some part of the mill and remained there for a year. , \1: • William Humason, formerly head miller of the Zenith, has been secured by A. D. Ells worth to take charge of his mill at Minnesota City, vice C. W. Newell, who go to Shakopee to run the Strait mill. While some of the mills now have orders ahead to keep them in motion for a consider able.length of time, some of the best posted millers express the belief that the flour out put will soon fall off. ' . ; The total output for last week was 145,800 i barrel? — averaging 24,300 barrels daily ; against 121,830 barrels the preceding week, and 46,140 barrels for the corresponding time in 1885. ---...' The Anchor will probably shut down next Saturday for the overhauling of its belting system, and the Galaxy the loth of August for repairs. MINNEAPOLIS COOPERS. The coopers' annual picnic was attended by 500 people and was highly enjoyable. In the foot race the entries were D. D. Konklin, hardwood storasre shop; C. H. Washburn, Hennepin: Joseph Velat, Stevens and C. J. McGonagle, Sixth street. The race was 100 yards for prizes of $3, $2 and $1, and they were won in the order the contestants are named. There were five oarsmen to start in the skip race, viz. N. Haverstock, North Star shop; Peter Peterson, hardwood storage: E. Bruno, Stevens; C. Lund, Sixth street, and F. J. Curren, Hunnepin. The Hennepin man was not used to loose oarlocks, and fare up alter getting- a few rods from shore. The others continued the race to the finish, and Haverstock was an easy victor, with Peter son second and Bruno third. The prizes were the same as in the foot race. The business of the shops was last week raised to a point much ahead of anything they have had for a long time. The manu facture was rather out of proportion to the sales, but due to a considerable extent to the shops all being shut down Saturday for the coopers' picnic— Northwestern Miller. The management of the co-operative store held a quarterly meeting last week, and its affairs were shown to be in a prosperous con dition. There are now 112 stockholders and they have paid in $1,458, A majority of the store's customers are non-members. John Millett, a cooper, employed in the Sixth street shop, on the 12th inst. cut his right wrist quite badly with an adze, sever in? an artery, and has not been able to work since though he soon will be. The Stevens cooper shop recently destroyed by tire is to be rebuilt, aDd the full length of building will be made two-stories high. Tem porary sheds have been erected under which the men can work in mild weather. Most of the shops are now buying stock as they manufacture it into barrels, and this causes quite a movement, though prices are unchanged. Some of the mills are experimenting with one-stave barrels with round hickory hoops. Charles Miller has withdrawn from the Acme Barrel company. JTIINrVEAPOMS LABOR NOTES. The committee of the Trades and Labor as sembly appointed to meet the St. Paul Trades and Labor assembly,- will hold their joint meeting at Minneapolis to-day at 2:30 p.m., with a committee of the latter organization. The purpose of the meeting will be to formu late a demand on the state legislature for the passage of legislative reforms in the interest of the labor inovemerit,and bring about a con certed action on the part of St. Paul and Min neapolis. They will, it is more than likely, give some attention to the demands formu lated by the Minnesota Protective associa tion at Winona last Sunday. The following officers were elected fcr the ensuing term at the last regular meeting of Northwestern Lodge No. 82, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen: Frank X. Holl, master; Fred U. Morse, vice-master; William T. Nickel, secretary; YV. E. Richmond, financier; trus tees, Charles H. Delanieter, Ed Barry and Thomas F. Mea. Frank X. Holl was chosen delegate to the thirteenth annual convention, to be held at Minneapolis Sept. 20, 1836. D. Leonard Pratt has been elected medical director and Ed Barry magazine agent. Final arrangements have been made for the re-opening of the Minneapolis bottle works, which were shut down because of a lack of financial support. A new company will be organized, with ample capital, and the works will be opened Sept. 1. There will then be 125 men employed, and the works will run full time: Some time ago the Bakers' union prepared an agreement embodying consent to its de mands in the matter of hours and wages.. This agreement was circulated among the bosses, but there was great difficulty In se curing signatures, and the matter is at present at a standstill. Lucien H. Smith-has been appointed special agent of the national bureau of labor for Minnesota, lowa, Nebraska and Dakota, with headquarters at Minneapolis, with a salary of $1,100 per year. 3ftf|i The Retail Grocers' association has decided to close the stores of members at Bp. m. each evening, except Saturday, during June.

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is a highly concentrated and powerful medicine. It is an anodyne expectorant, and, if promptly taken, in cases of Coughs, Throat or Lung troubles, soothes and heals the irritated tissues, and quickly allays all tendency to Consumption. Six years ago, I contracted a severe Cold, which settled on my Lungs, and soon developed all the alarming symp toms of Consumption. I had a Cough, Night Sweats, Bleeding Lungs, Pain in my Chest and Sides, and was so com pletely prostrated as to be confined to my bed most of the time. After trying various prescriptions, without benefit, m 7 physician finally determined to give me Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I took it, and the effect was magical. I seemed to rally from the first dose of this med icine, and, after using only three bottles, am now as well and sound as ever.— Rodney Johnson, Springfield, 111.
