EVAPORATED CREAM is quite useful in the household if you get the right kind. The word Borden has become a synonym‘of excellence, HOUSE OF MERCY. In a circular signed by Bishop Paret and Gistribuied among the Episcopal churches of the city there are-high words of praise for a local institution. “The circular says: | “The House of Mercy, Washington, D. C., was established in the year 1885, since which time it has ever been doing its work, quietly and faithfully. The house is a re- treat for women who have fallen, but de- sire to reform. It is impossible to go into details of work of this nature, yet we are not without proof of its usefulness and of the urgent necessity for its continuance. We earnestly desire to awaken more gen- eral Interest in this particular work. Many Tegard it as useless, which idea could be readily dispelled by acquaintance with it. They would learn that from this house have gone forth those who have been re- covered, and today are living industrious lives, thankful for the home that sheltered | them in their time of need. From thes: come letters expressing their gratitude, and thereby encouraging us. The number it ean be accommodated is thirty-five. No one is received for less than six months, and in almost all cases a much longer stay is deemed necessary. None are permit! to leave until a home is provided for them. While under our care they are instructod in sewing and general housework, which fits them for service. And of those whom we have sent out come such reports as make us feel that the institution has a very Feal place in church work. “We desire to make this house a refuge for those who have known the comforts nd influences of home, as well as ihose who are utterly friendless. This work is entirely dependent upon voluntary contri- butions and @ small appropriation from Congress, which are inadequate for :ts maintenance. Therefore, we feel it is nec- essary to awaken the interest of the church at large, and especially in the diocese of Maryland. This is the only church institu- tion of its kind south of New York. If cach parish would cortribute an annual 3um, even small in the aggregate, it would be of much assistance for the continuance of the work, which without such help must languish. We must strengthen the hands of the sisters who have come to us, and now have this work in charge, and who are so earnestly interested in its success. ‘The sewing is done most satisfactorily, and im quite a source of revenue to the house. A talk with those in charge would soon convince one that theirs is no idle work, but most necessary and helpful to those in weed. Are there not some who wouli wish to make a thankful offering to God for their own mercies? Surely no better way could be found than to help this work, Whose object is, as our Master's, to seek and to save the lost. We ask of you not only money, but your prayers for our suc- cess, that God may bless all to His glory. Contributions may be sent either t» the treasurer of the house, 2408 K street, Wash- ton, or to the bishop. the Trustees of the House of Mercy: “Your noble work has my hearty approv- al.

LOOK OUT FOR IT! Physicians Are Expecting a Great Epidemic. WHAT DR. EDSON SAYS. Be on Your Guard if You Value Your Health and Happiness— Where to Find the Ounce of Prevention. Dr. Cyrus Edson, ove of the greatest physicians fa America, states positively that we may ox- pect another grip epidemie before the spring months begin. fis reason for thinking so ts that We have bad about the sort of weathe~ for grip, imeluding changes of temperature, muggy atmos- phere, heat and cold. There are also other sure Signs. People everywhere are complaining of coughs, colds and chills. They ara sneezing con- Unually, feel weak and run down.

It ts only by exercising the greatest care that tiese dangers ap be avoided. But, you ask, what is the seerst of avolding them? There is but one secret, and that i by Keeping the kidneys and liver in good working order. When these great orgsus do net act Properly grip and other deadiy diseases can easily take a tirm hold upom us. When they do act properly grip can be kept at pay It is now admitted vy ibe best physicians, pre- fessors and advanced thinkers the world cver that nothing has ever been digcove-wl that can ac- complish this purpose of keeping the kidneys and | liver in perfect condition except the great remedy | Kuown as Warner's Safe Cure. This great prepa- | Tation has been tested thoroughly for the past twenty years and has never falled to prevent the coming on of grip, pneumonia and the terribl angers which follow in their wake. Thousands of names could be given of those who have found this to be true, aud it has become so wonderfully popular entirely upon its merits.

The dredges will therefore be put to work about Feb- ruary 15. The canal will be dredged as deeply as possible, in order to allow the free passage of heavy cargoes. Boatbuilder Mertins is being swamped with orders for new boats, as are others along the line of the artificial river. The dockyards, too, ‘are all activity. Things, the canal men say, are going to have a boom next season in shipping circles. It is believed here by | some of the leading ones interested in the canal that the oil trade is going to become | extremely significant in the commerci:l business of this section. The new boats or- dered will be constructed, it is said, with the view of converting them into electrical | Propellers at almost a @uy’s notice. Over 100 men are now spread along the canal making repairs and improvements, and at every turn private parties are scen calking the sides of canal boats and im- Proving their outward appearance with paint. j Chevy Chase Railroa The Chevy Chase Railroad Company have borrowed from the Chevy Chase Land Com- pany $100,000, and given a mortgage on all the corporation possessions to secure the Payment of it. This $400,000 is a part of the $1,000,000 borrowed by the land com- pany from New York capitalists a few days ago. A Labor Complaint. The Georgetown citizens say that some of their laborers should share in the laying | of the main on 32d street. At the present time over 1 men are employed on the work, all of whom are from the eastern: sec- tion of Washington. Certainly, the citi- zens say, Georgtown’s work should be part- | ly done at least by Georgetown laborers. Many, it is said, have applied for work on | the main, but been refused. Plumbers say, | too, that to their own knowledge the.appii- cants, or most. of them, were some of the hardest working and most steady laborers obtainable anywhere. The Horse Conquered. The Chevy Chase Club's success in the world of sport has had the tendency to make many young men here spire to equestrianism. Yesterday a new owner of an animal started out in a neighboring | subdivision to astonish the building sites | | and sign posts with his feats of horseman- ship. nowing that he wasn’t quite up to the mark attained by some old regulars in the business he wanted to be surrounded by an audience that would not jeer. He Was an ambitious fellow, this one who started out, and deserved to shine brilliant- ly before the trees, the muddy roads and their kindred. But he didn’t shine a bit. how the horse and the man had not know each other long enough to become friendly. At any rate they didn't get along beautifully over hurdles and ditches. The animal exhibited on every occasion his dis- like for his attendant, a dislike that was both disagreeable and hurtful. One hour later he wh ted out to become a cir- cus rider was seen to come slowly toward town with bent head, vanquished looks and a bedraggled appearance. The clothes he wore looked as if they had been 4d through the “slough of despond.” Sticking from his pockets were noticed a pair of broken and knotted stirrup straps. One hundred feet behind this wreck of ambition came a grinning colored boy lead- ing a triumphant looking horse. At every step the boy stopped and jingled on the nearest stone a shining silver dollar. Some Notes. A colored man named Cole while engaged | in an altercation last night in the section | known as “Boston” was badly injured about the head by three colored boys, aged | about fifteen, seventeen and nineteen. Officers Hall and Maher rested them all on a charge of being disorderly. Cole will probably charge his alleged at- tackers with assault and battery. The concert given at Mt. Zion Church last night was an event of artistic value. A chorus of sixty splendidly trained voices rendered Millard’s “Gloria” and “Kyrie” in @ manner that brought forth spontaneous applause. The Aeolian Glee Club, the Em- erald Quartet, Charles Champ, the tenor, and Prof. John T. Layton, the well-known basso, did the rest toward making the pro- gram one of excellence. Mr. J. W. Harry of Tenleytown has lost his wife, mother and daughter all within @ week. The latter was Mrs. Andrew J. Riley. Death came to all suddenly, though its cause has been attributed to grip. Mr. Harry himself is but just recovering from a serious stroke of paralysis and is scarcely able to get around yet. Mrs. Riley leaves several small children. Mr. John Beall, son-in-law of Maj. Geo. Hill, and father of Mrs. Mattie Jackson, died this morning at the home of his daugh- ter on Prospect avenue. Mr. Beall had been in poor health a long time. For a long time he has been employed in the commission house of J. G. and J. M. Waters and was a man who was widely known. Edward Townsend, a white man, was tak- en suddenly ili on 33d street yesterday, fell to the ground and was conveyed to his home, 3312 Prospect avenue, in the patrol wagon. Ex-Senator Henderson has bought 100 acres of land near Ball’s cross roads, which he proposes to subdivide into bullding and villa sites. Mr. Jerry Fickling has gone south to see a brother-in-law, who was seriously injured a few days ago in a railroad accident. From Harper's Bazar. To the average woman the bargain coun- ter presents a very great attraction, almost a temptation. Here is an article of use or beauty marked down a few cents, or it may be a few dollars, below its usual price. |The matron, intent on a shopping expedi- tion, has carefully made out her list, and j fancies that she knows precisely what she | wants. Her lack of the thing which Is on | | sale “at a bargain” has not been manifest | | to her mind, but the sight of it, disp! in all its cheapness, fires her imagination. | |1t is a divan, one-third less in cost than | the divan she has been intending to set in @ special corner of her drawing room. She purchases it at a bargain, and sends it home triumphantly, forgetting that the | spreads and pillows it will require to make | t complete will bring it to a point far be- | Yond the original cost, and beyond the mod- | est sum she has set aside to cover the en- tire outlay for this article. This {s only one case among many. A bargain in its first estate may be cheap, but in Its last it ls generally dear. The ex- ception is when bargains are bought, not on impulse, but of set purpose, as, for in- stance, when a woman buys clothing for | her family at the turn of the season. It is surprising what a difference in cost there | is sometimes found in the same grade of, goods, the difference being in the fact that |the merchant does not wish to carry his| stock over from one season to another. | But this is not strict bargain buying. It | 1s merely purchasing with forethought, and belongs in the category with the thrift that saves for a rainy day. ‘THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. THE GIANTS MEET. Representatives Cockran and Reed Cross Swords on the Tariff. LIVELY SCENES IN CONGRESS.: Several Members Lose Their Tem- pers and Say Mean Things. THE DEBATE LAST NIGHT. The afternoon session of the House yes- terday was devoted to debate upon the tariff bill under the five-minute rule and the offering of amendments. It transpired that but few amendments were offered, but the time was occupied in some very lively pas- Sages between the leaders of the opposing factions. There was first a protest from Mr. Reed, which was echoed by a demo- cratic member, Mr. Wise of Virginia, against @ proposition to limit the considera- tion of the bill by paragraphs. This merg- ed without settlement into # lively debate, precipitated by an amendment to the tu- bacco schedule, wherein Mr. Marsh of Ili- nols (republican) accused Mr. De Forest of Connecticut (democrat) of inconsistency in supporting a proposition to protect the to- bacco growers of Connecticut and denying protection to other industries of the coun- try. ss A Lively Tilt. At this point Bourke Cockran entered the debate, In the course of a tilt with Mr. Payne of New York as to the causes of the Homestead strike and the effort of the trades unions to maintain wages, he said: “When trades unions sought to maintain those wages they were met by bullets. (De- tisive hooting from the republican side of the chamber.) They were met with bul- lets,” he repeated, when he could make himself heard, “in the hands of the hired assassins in the protective interests.” “A democratic governor,” said Mr. Bou- telle, pressing into the conflict, “sent the militia there.” | “Yes,” Mr. Cockran assented, ‘a demo- | cratic governor sent the officers of the law to supplant the volunteers of anarchy.” @emocratic applai “Did they not carry bullets with them?” Mr. Boutelle asked. “They did,” shouted Mr. Cockran, with an air of triumph, nd they had no oc- casion to use them; for democrats and ail | the people of this country have shown a readiness to submit to law, just as they have shown a readiness to resist invasion | or oppression or assassination at the hands of oppressors.” In the further course of the controversy | Mr. Boutelle expressed his satisfaction at hearing the gentleman from New York | asserting the rights and dignity of the| House. “The gentleman from Maine,” Mr. Cock- ran rejoined, ‘may always rely on my as- sisting to maintain the rights and dignity | and principles of the House; but the gen- | tleman must first show that he under- stands them himsel! tomorrow,” was Mr. . Mr. Cockran—“The gentleman from New York (Mr. Payne) tells us that the theory on which this protective system is main- tained is to stimulate profits in the hands of manufacturers and then to let the trades unions get their profits out of them. (Democratic laughter and applause.) We believe in sending profits in the first in- stance into the hands of the employ: Shouts from the republican side, “How? how?" Mr. Cockran—“By increasing mands for their labor.” Mr. Boutelle—“But the gentleman from Illinois (Mr, Black) says that the object of the Wilson bill is to reduce wages so as to make this country less desirable to im- migrants.” « Not Responsible. Mr. “ockran—I am not responsible for the gtatements of the gentleman from Iilinois | or of any other gentleman; and I am sure that no gentleman on the republican side wants to be held responsible for all that is said by the gentleman from Maine. (Laugh- ter and applause), “But you and the gentleman from IIll- nois (Mr. Boutelle persisted) pretend to be standing on the same platform.” “We make no pretense,” Mr. Cockran corrected Mr. “we make state- ments in the English language, which the House is competent to understand. And, so far as I am concerned I krow, and so far as the gentleman from Illinois is con- cerned, I believe, tnat we both want to state the truth.” “Then,” said Mr. Boutelle, “you ought to get within four miles of each other if you want to stand on the same platform. (Republican applause.) A Big Platform. “The platform of the democratic party,” exclaimed Mr. Cockran proudly, “is not only four miles wide, but three thousand miles wide; and it 1s wide enough to cover the people of the whole world.” (Demo- cratic applause.) “Is it wide enough to take in Hawaii?" Mr. Wilson (Warh.) shouted, and Mr. Cock- ran made some allusion to the gentleman from Washington and the gentleman from Maine being “the short and the long” of the matter. Mr. Boutelle remarked that Mr. Cockran was in the habit of stating only half the j truth as to the position of his opponents. His (Mr. Boutelle’s) position was that pro- tection furnished to the manufacturer a market for his commodities so that he could convert them into cash, and be able to pay good wages for labor. Mr. Reed Gets in. After some further talk upon this general line the proceedings were marked by the entrance of Mr. Reed of Maine into the de- bate. Mr. Reed expressed his sorrow that with all the repertoire of eloquence which the gentleman from New York had at his command he should resort so frequently to that portion of it which was merely phys- ical. For his part he would present the mat- ter in a few words. How easy, Mr. Reed said, it was to meet Mr. Cockran’s asser- tions by similar ones, and to say that the reason why labor was walking the streets today in idleness was on account of the un- faithfulness of the democratic party to its duty. It was because today all industry was arrested by the mere threat of attempt- ing another system. He went on to argue that the theory of wages being dependent upon the law of supply and demand was exploded. What the democrats sald they needed was a more extensive market. They wanted to go forth into the rest of the universe and obtain a market, and the method which they proposed was to obtain that market somewhere else by giving up the market which they had here. (Repub- lican applause.) The republicans, on the contrary, believed in enlarging the market in a different direction. They did not mean to go to the ends of the earth and struggle with the cheaper labor of the old world. What they meant to do was to elevate the market of this country by giving higher wages to labor and thereby constituting a market as broad as American production. (Republican applause). It was not the arbitrary fixation of mar- kets, but it was the growth of intelligence, the growth of desires and wants on the part of the laboring population, that forced markets. And what was the direct means of reaching that position? It was by labor unions, by making the manufacturers un- derstand that they must give higher wages. But there was limitation to this, as there was to all human tendencies. The laboring man was struggling to supply his wants and the wants of the manufacturer; and by the assistance of new inventions, the manu- facturer was able to supply those wants of Boston, Mass., Scrofula 2:=<. i=: ways suffered from hereditary Scrofula, for which I tried various remedies, and many reliable physicians,but none relieved me.

And now the democratic party pro- posed to bring the laborer in contact with a lower civilization, without protection. It to make that struggle absolutely impossible on the part of the laborer, and to crush him. “But, thank heaven!’ Mr. MR. HORNBLOWER REJECTED The Senate Vetoes His Sitting on the Su- preme Bench.

Physicians Use, Prescribe, Recommend Paine's “the success and good fortune and prosperity of the laboring man of America does not depend upon those men who rend the heavens with shouts of his praise, but on thi ws of the Lord God omnipotent.” (Great applause on the republican side and in the galleries). Mr. Cockran’s Reply. Mr. Cockran remarked that the conclu- sion of Mr. Reed’s speech explained the be- girning of it. He had begun by stating that much of the tariff reform agitation was physical, and he (Mr. Cochran) desired to compliment him by saying that the con- clusion of his argument was spiritual: (Laughter.) The gentleman's final reliance was on the Lord of Hosts rather than on the reasoning powers of the American peo- ple. (Applause.) But he (Mr. Cockran) did not think that there ought to be that dif- ference between tne two. Every conclusion which the American people had reached in its history on any economical question had, sooner @r later, come into direct connection and harmony with the laws of God; and he exclaimed fervently and emphatically, “it is moving in that direction now.” (Applause on the democratic side.) Another Ra In the course of further remarks, Mr. Cockran expressed his desire that, if any gentleman on the other side conceived that his statement was inaccurate or unfair, he would correct him now. “We know it is; every one of us,” shouted Mr. Walker (Mass.). “I intended,” said Mr. Cockran, with somewhat of disdain in his words and man- ner, “‘to exclude the gentleman from Massa- chusetts from the operation of my offer. (Democratic laughter.) Mr. Boutelle again attempted to interpose a remark, but was stopped by Mr. Cockran notifying him, positively, that he wag re- plying now to the “gentleman” from Maine —the late Speaker of the House. Night Session. At this point the House took a recess until 8 o'clock. Eleven members, two of them Pepulists dhd one ex-Congressman, formed the audience of the tariff debaters at the igi session, The galleries were well filled, however, and the occupants seemed to en- Joy the proceedings. Mr. Powers (Vt.) was the first speaker. He protested against the Wilson bill in general, and against the lumber and granite hedules in particular. His time expired at 8:30 o'clock, but he was given unanimous consent to speak within the hour, and con- tinued until 8:55 o'clock. Mr. Boen (Minn.) then spoke in opposi+ tion to the bill. Mr. Boen advccated a novel scheme for free trade or reciprocity— whichever it might be called—which provid- ed for the free admission of foreign goods in barter for home agricultural products. Mr. Hudson (Kan.) defended the provis- fons of the Wilson bill. He said the first speaker of the evening (Mr. Powers) had opposed the bill in the interest of th “American workingman. But it would seem from his speech that the definition of an “American workingman” was who worked in the mills of New England.” It would seem that there were no can workingmen in the southwest. - + © + LIKE THE CRONIN MURDER, A Physician Enticed to a Lonely Spot and § bed and Beaten. A sensational attempt to murder a prom- inent physician was made about midnight Sunday night on the eastern outskirts of Wheeling, W. V: the crime being made known about 2 o'clock yesterday morning by the doctor’s horse arriving at his home with the doctor unconscious in the buggy. Dr. R. L. Ashbrook, the victim, was in- dicted about a year ago with William Groves and other local officials of the local branch of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York on the charge of embezzle- ment and forgery. William Groves, the local manager of the company, was convicted at the fall term of the criminal court, Ash- brook being a witness for the state against him, and A. B. Whitson, a local agent, was also convicted and sent to the penitentiary. A second case against Groves was to heve come up yesterday, in which Ashbrook was also a witness for the state. Recently Ashbrook had -eceived threaten- ing letters, but paid no attention to them, Sunday night about half-past 11 he received word that a man had been injured in a fight on the eastern limits of the city, and he was wanted to attend him. The doctor drove out in his buggy and was met by a man who told him to follow him across a tield to the bank of the creek. Ashbrook dil so, and on the edge of the creek he was knock- ed down and terribly beaten, and stabbed by four men, who left him apparently dead, Ashbrook crawled to his buggy in about an hour, and managed to get into it, and the horse took him home. An examination of his wounds showed that, in addition to other cuts, a xnife had been thrust into his stomach, and he can searcely recover. He recognized rone of his assailants. e+ THE COURTS, Equity Court, division 1—Justice Cox. Yesterday—Howlings agt. P' ; pro confesso. Bacigalupi agt. Whitten; trustec directed to deposit funds.

Pharmacy, 703 15th st. icans Help Him Out— The Vote 30 to 24. ‘The nomination of Wm.B.Hornblower to be & justice of the Supreme Court of the United States was rejected by the Senate yesterday afternoon by a vote of 30 to 24. This vic- tory for Mr. Hill was made possible by the votes of fourteen republicans, who united with thirteen democrats and the three pop- ulists to that end. The vote in favor of confirmation was composed of eighteen dem- ocrats and six republicans, It took six hours of close session to ac- complish this result. There was a disposi- tion to divide the work of the fight over the name and to adjourn after four hours had passed, but Mr. Hill had secured his tickets for a trip to New York on the midnight train and was bound to go. He had an en- gagement with the governor of New York at Albany tonight that he did not want to miss. So he forced the fighting and carried it to a successful issue. He began work as soon as the doors had been closed and talked for an hour and a half against the nomination. He made two ponits in support of his plea to the Senate to accept the report of the committee on the judiciary. The first of these was that Mr. Hornblower is not qual- ified for the high position to which the Pres- ident had nominated him. In this line he presented the documents that had been laid before the committee. As a side issue he al- luded to the political aspect of the nomina- tion, and frankly said that the selection of Mr. Hornblower was a direct rebuke to him by the President. Then he advanced his second point, which, it is said, went further with the republican Senators than any oth- er. This was that neither he nor Mr, Mur- phy had been consulted in the matter, and thus the traditions of the Senate regarding the selection of officials from a state had been ignored. He claimed that the nomina- tion of Mr. Hornblower was the first step in an attempt on the part of the President to overthrow the entire fabric of senatorial prerogative. Mr. Vilas’ Defense. ‘Mr. Vilas followed with a vigorous speech supporting the minority report of the ju- diciary committee, of which he is a mem- ber. He met the claim of Mr. Hill that he had not been consulted by the argument that the nomination was national in its character, and that therefore there was no need to consult elther of the New York Senators. After an hour of talk from Mr. \ Vilas, Chairman Pugh addressed the Sen- ate to uphold the position of Mr. Hill and to contend that the committee had gone into the question of Mr. Hornblower's qualifications and had found him wanting. The administration Senators at this point began to move toward an adjournment, and there was some suggestion to this end, |but Mr. Hill and his friends fought the eee and the motion was defeated. ir. Higgins then took the floor to attack the nomination, and to read a letter from a New York lawyer to show why the name should be rejected. Mr. Gray opposed his colleague and said that it was to be >egretted that the New York Senators had not chosen for the fight on the issue of prerogatives a nomination that was strictly local in its nature, rather | than one that was so national and digni- Speeches in favor of the nomination were made by Senators Hoar, Platt and Mitchell, and by Senator Blackburn. Others in oppo- ion were made by Senators Teller and Coke. This closed the talking, and at 6:45 the vote was ordered on the question: “Shall the report of the committee be sus- tained?” This put the Senators on the ne- cessity of voting “yea” if they were op- posed to the name, and “nay” if they were in favor of it.

More words of praise have been written and, spoken by well-known men and women in ev: section of the country within the past few years for the famous compound first prescribed by Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth College than have been be- stowed upon all other remedies put together. More physicians in high standing are using, pre- scribing and recommending Paine's celery com- pound than any other prepared remedy in the world. E Move space is devoted in many medical Jour- nal to the wonderful cures Paine's celery com- pound effects than to any other one subject. Paine's celery compound ¢ pre-eminently the | remedy that makes people well. | W. Allen Hubbard, M. D., 70 West Cedar street, is one of Boston's best physicians. He says what hundreds of other physicians have said before, and bis experience adds one more to the bun- dreds already published, that Paine’s celery com-! pound is undoubtedly the highest product of the | medical knowledge of this century. | “The formula of Paine's celery compound,” he | says, “interested me because of its scientific value, and I prescribed the remedy in a number of cases | where the blood was impoverisbea and the nerves weakened. The results were so setisfactory that I do not hesitate to inderse Paine’s celery coun- | pound as & most valuable remedy.’ J. H. Hanaford, M. D.. whose writings in Jour-| nals of national circulation have endeared him to thousands, bas said: “The formula of Paine’s | celecy compound which was submitted to me #0 satisfactory that I have used sonally, and with much benefit. I have prescribed it with most cxcellent results.”’ The well-known Boston physician and surgeon, Dr. A. W. K. Newton, whose portrait is given above, states very emphatically that this com- pound is the most reliable tonic and strengthgiver be bas found for the peculiar and dangerous con- dition of the system that follows the grip. “Paine’s celery compound.” be writes, “is mot a Patent medicine, and it must not be confounded with the ordinary nervines, bitters or sarsaparil- and results as the diamond is superior to glass. It purifies the blood, strengthens the nerves and ts Rature’s food for the brain, “I had some trouble myself,” be writes, “from blood poisoning, received in a very delicate cal operation. The formula of Puine’s celery com- pound led me to try jt, and I was with the result, I prescribe it for men who have no appetite, cannot sleep Weak and run down. For this condition disorders of the blood and nerves it Sleep and feele that life is a ew & setws. burden, that ery compound for my patients who lave there common and dangerous s)mptoms with invariably Satisfactory results.” It is the best possible reme- @y to keep up one's strength during the winter months.
