IT IS A FACT ESTABLISHED and well known that the Arabians attained a height in the knowl edge of medicine which caused the whole world to wonder and admire. With them the science of chemistry had its birth, and it Is, therefore, not at ail strange that a people so eminently successful In the healing art, and eo persevering and daring in character, should, by actual and untiring experi ment, discover remedies far surpassing in efficacy all others, for the cure of those diseases Incident to them from their mode of life. The greater part of their time being spent In hazardous and bloody warfare with the different tribes, they were subject to th" most violent attacks of rheumatism, paralys i, ucursigic pains, ana various innammatory CIS eases, as also the most bond wounds, sprains brui ses, tumors, swellings, diseases of the joints, etc. All these diseases they were so surprisingly effi cient in curing, that the uninitiated looked with wonder ana attributed their skill to the powers of magic. H U. FARRELL'S ARABIAN LINIMENT is a composition of oaisams ana oils, irom rare plants peculiar to this country, and it was by the use of the articles composing this great remedy that not only their physicians, bnt even the wild Arabs of the desert were enabled to perform such miraculous enres. Tne Arab steed is world-re nowned for his beautiful symmetryof form, bis unsurpassed tpeed and agility, and the incredible fatigue it is capable of enduring. Why Is it? Be cause from the time of his birth his limbs are care fully watched, and upon the first appearance of disease the magic lotion is applied, and such things as confirmed sweeny, poll-evil, fistula, ringbone. scratches, spavin, lameness, etc., etc., are unknown. The same result will follow in all cases where H. O. Fan-ell's Genuine Arabian Liniment is used in time.

They realize the uncertainty of republican conventions, and can only console themselves with the remark that, "I knew it. They have done it to us again, as they always do." Rock Island has plainly saia, by reluctantly giving them the coroner, that we will trust ourselves tn Moline s bands after death, but not while we have our sense,1 and this arouses their just indignation. They think that, inasmuch as the county has to come to Moline for a republican majority, they should have a pull at the teat. But they are slowly learning that they must take a back seat in conventions, nurse their wrath for a few days, and at election march up to the polls and vote for whoever Rock Island dictates.

This cold brought on a severe attack of Catarrh, which I battled with every known remedy for four weeks without avail and was finally obliged o give np a most desirable position and return home unable to sing a note. For three years afterwards I was nnable to sing at all. The first attack of Catarrh bad left my nasal organs and throat so sensitive that the slightest cold vould bring on a fresh stuck, leaving me prostrated. In this way I continued to suffer, fbe last attack, the severest I ever had, was terr.ble. I suffered the most excruciating pain in my head, was so hoarse as io be scarcely able to speak, and coughing incessantly. I thought I was going into quick consumption, and 1 firmlv believe that had these symptoms continued wlthont relief they would have rendered me an easy victim . When la this distressing condition, I commenced the use of Sakford's Radical Curb for Catarrh, very re luctantly,! confess, as I had tried all the advertised remedies without benefit. The first dose of this wonderful medicine gave me the greatest relief. It is hardly possible for one whose head aches, eyes ache who can scarcely articulate distinctly on ac count of the choking accumulations in his throat, to realize bow much relief I obtained from the first application of Sakporo's Radical Curb Under lis influence , both internal and external, I rapidly recovered, and by an occasional use of the remedy since have been entirely free from Catarrh, for the first time in twelve years.

Your Collins' Voltaic Plaster is a wonderful remedy. I have snaered with a weak and uatnful back more than eight years before I sent for your Collins' Vol taic Plaster.
