Representative Swartsley Disgusted With Certain Features of the Ap- propriation Bills—-Senate and House Proceedings. What It Costs. Lascovs, Neb., March 18.—|Special to Tz Bre.|—A companson of the appropriation bills with the allowances of the last legis- lature, shows many an increase in the cor- rent exjenses of the state government. Fol- Jowing is & table giving jthe deartments, the appropriations in 1857, the demands at this session, and showing an aggregate increase in these departments of $442,000: 1557, 1880, .8 60008 3100 000 41.200 Governor, ..

Senator Ransom seems to have struck the ey note for the senate on appropriations. He expressed the opinion that there should be no action on any of the biils until all are before the senate, that it may know how much is asked for and survey the whole field intelligently. Swartslev's Views. LixcoLy, Neb., March 18.—[Special to Tnn Ber.]—Hon. J. C. Swartsley of Platte Is considerably disgusted with the way legisla- tion is going on. Referring to the appro- riation bilis, he said: *‘Iam always willing L vote liberal sums for the support of our charitable institutions and for all necessary purposes, but the extravagant amounts de- manded by the state university and for the capitol arounds, and building fences where they are not really needed are too much for me, and I shall be compelled to vote against pearly all of the appropriation bills when they come up for final action. Then I am yery much disappointod in not getting some railroad legislation to beuefit the people. The present commission have the power to afford elief from the extortionate freight rates, t they do not seem disposed to act, and 1 would favor some stringent legislation to regulate these charges. 1f we can dono better we will provide for the election of mm commissioners by the people, in the pes that a commission will be chosen that bas some stamina and a real desire to serve the interests of the ncople.” As he said tais the member from Platte heaved a sigh as if his path in the legislative halls had not been Bltogether pleasant. Something Wrong. Lixcory, Neb., March 18.—|Special to Tz —‘‘There is something rotten in Ne- raska,” remarked a senator to-day. ‘‘The pontract for the new boilers at the Lincoln bospital for the insane was let the other @ay, and a friend of mine, who came too late %o bid, says he would furnish the same outfit for £3,000 less than the figure named in the contract. He says that that would be his figure without competition, and he could go even lower.” ““There ought to be a regular inspection of the boilers in the state institutions,” added snother gentleman, “but I don’t know just bow to fehat it “If Thad my wn{," said a third, “I would have every boiler insured in a reliable com- y. 1don’t know how expensive it is, but would do it to get the boilers nspected. ese companies have ex) who examine & boiler twice a year, and you may be sure t they do a thorough job. They make a mer test and a water tesi, and certain regulations are prescribed for the engineer, which he must live up to under oath, The loss by the recent expiosion in Lincoln would :g for lots of insurance, to say nothing ut the saving of life and limb.”" He Turned the Joke. LixcoLs, Neb., March 18.—[Special to Tae Bez.]—Senator Keckley has been one of the trongest objectors to adjournments and loss of time. He was absent this morning, and the senators concocted a scheme to put the joke on him. At noon, under a call cof the house, the sergeaut-at-arms was sent o the depot to arrest the scnator as he shoula step from the train. Wnen arraigned before the bar of the sen- ate und asked to explain his absence with- out leave, Mr. Keckley said that undera misapprehension his people had called a mecting to express their indigonation at his vote on Boss Stout’s bill, and he was com- pelled as a matter of self-defense to be pres- ent. The senator was very sober in making his statement, and the unexpected turn of affairs staggercd the would-be jokers. Thoy pympathized with their colleague and wptly excused him, but it was not long efore @ big sized suspicion got abroad that Keckley bad taken m the senate and turned the tables on the wags, who had delayed their dinner for an hour. The indignation meeling wes pure tiction, The Permanent School Fund. LixcoLy, Neb., March 18.—|Special to Tz Ber]—Corbin's house bill autborizing the investment of the permanent school fund came up in the senate this morning on its third reading. Senator Cornell made a fight to Lave consideration de'aved until several absent senators should arrive, and succeeded after a sharp parliamentary tussle, During the discussion Cornell announced that since the defeat of the bill extending the time of meeting deferred payments on school lands the commissioner of public Jands and buildings had been sending out notices to delingaents to pay up within six months. It was stated that tnere is at pres- ent over $1,000,000 past due, and that it will amount 1 §2,000,000 within two years. The interest will cease unless other means of in- vestment be found, and Cornell announced that at the proper time he will move to make 00d this loss to the temporary school fund asking to have the levy for achool tax fixed at the highost coustitutional limit, which 18 13¢ wills on the dollar. - A Message From the Governor. LaxcoLx, Neb., March 18.—[Special to Taz Bee. | —The following messagu from the gov- ernor this morning, addressed 1o the legisla- Sure, explains itself, and it is only necessary 0 add tuat his request was granted: scut in by requesi, and without recom- meudation, on Saturday two bills prepared by the beef and pork trust asd combine con- ‘vealion, which met in St. Louis on the 12th fust. Thesc vills were transmitted by me under a llhmnhensiou. 1 was not thea faware that on the subjects had been :l‘l.uy flahlflm‘d :llnq n of l;olha l’- sud are now pending iu the house. At this late day in the scssion I must refrain from introdu; any matter that will take up time in furtber discussion. I therefore reapectfully request that the bills be returaed 0 me. e — The Committee Well Pleased. Neb., March 18.—Special to Tue B ) -Seuators Vunck, Robinson, Jowett, Sutherland and Lindsay visited the institu- tiou for feoble minded children at Beatrice yesterday, and they express themsolves as well pleased with the uperation of the wsti- fution. It is caring for about 100 childres: and the visitors were surprised to find them #0 helpless as to be the objects of constant attention. Many of them are unable to talk, some deformed and_many unable to do the simplest things. The committee feel that these unfortunate children are worthy ob- jects of pity, and they are satisfied that the superintendent and lis assistants are making excellent progress in ructing the - mates, —_—— The Stock Commission. LixcoLy, Neb, March 18.—[Special to Tne Bee.]—Tbe house has decreed that the live stock commission will have to go, which will effect a saving of abou. $30,000 to the state. The state veterinarian and live stock inspectors at stock yards will be relieved and the other features of the law stricken out. This move is receiving almost the sohd support of the farmers, who claim that the present law encourages the bringing of dis- eased animals into the state in order to get full pay for them out of the tax-payers. ek -4y The Gambling Bill. Laxcovx, Neb., Marvh 18.—| Special to Tae Bee.]—The bill to modify the existing gam- bling laws by repealine the section providing for the imprisonment of offenders is produc- ing quite a breeze. Mr. Bakor says he in- troduced the bill at the request of the prose- cnting attorneys of his judicial district, who, with one exception, are of the opinion that so stringent & measure as the present law can- not be enforced. He claims that not a single conviction in tho past two years has secured. The Friends of Economy. Lixcorx, Neb., March 18.—[Special Tele- gram to Tug Bee.]—The friends of economy in the house are endeavoring to combine to defeat the contemplated raise of the salaries of deputies and clerks in the state offices. B éry increase will be stubbornly contested and a roil call demanded on each item. If these tactics are adopted the chiances are the contemplated increase not” be carried, though the lobby is working with might and main to carry the measure. Will Return the Bill.

The house bill trensferring $129,600 from the insane hospital fund to the state general fund was defeated. This money is received from the several counties for the support of their insane. The senate thought it snould be applied directly towards the expense of the insane in order 1o reduce the appropria- tion drawn on the general fund for that pur- pose. The committee of the whole approved the bill for stairway fire escapes to hotels, and the bill requiring the boards contractng for ublic works to make the contractors give a nd for the payment of the wages of their mechanics and laborers.

House. oL, Neb., March 15.—(Special to Tug —Governor Thayer sent in a message hdrawing his trust bills introduced Sate Ay, and stated that he was not aware that the subject is already covered by bills now peudiog, The appropriation bills.were taken up in committee of the whole. The expenses of the feeble minded insti tute at Beatrice were taken under considera- ton. White moved to strike out the item $1,000 for incidentals, °]“"“““El““' every possibie expense was covercd. The motion was lost, and the appropriation passed over, The expenses for iive stock agents was reached, and Majors moved to to take up ab the same time senate file 10, the, bill repe ng the live stock commission, which carried. Corbin introduced a substitute for this bull which repeals all of the present law except the clause providing for a state veterinary and for inspectors at the stock yards. On motion of Elliott the bill was ordered priuted and the bill made a special order for 2 o'clock to-morrow. The following items of expense for the state board of Lransportation were allowed. _Postage, telegraph aud express, §500; sta- tionary and pn’-mun‘x. GLM&‘IIA; traveling ex- penses, §750; furniture carpets, $000; officers’ foes in serving $100.

Cady moved to reduce the items, revenue, books, and blanks, $30,000, to $3,000, which o] was adopted. ‘The item of $35,000 for conveyrmg convicts 1o the itentiary and juvenile offenders to the reform school, on_motion of Swartsley, ‘was reauced to $30,000 On motion of Cady the expense of printing law journals and miscellancous matter under contract was reduced from #25,000 to $18,000, Everett moved to strike out the item of £35,784.65 in favor of W, H. B. Stout for in- terest on capital fund warrants. Cady defended his motion and reviewed the contract existing between Stout and the state, and showed that the state did not owe Stout nn_vthlnz. Everett said Stout got his pay as soon as the building was completed, and even sooner, and why should he present this claim. Judg- ing from his price of “‘extras” he could not hclp;hmkmg Stout had made & good thing outof it. Caldwell defended the clmm, and wanted o know what law on the statute books pro- hibited the paying of 7 per cent_interest on the warrants issued to W. H. B. Stout, as well as to other persons. He said the claim was a just one, and arged at length that the claim should be paid. Cady said the gentleman from Lancaster @ short time ago made a specch against de- positing the state money in the banks, and in his opinion it would be a fine thing for the state if the money could be placed in some bank out of the reach vf members who grow eloquent over every petty or bogus claim. Cady said the bill originally was $22,500, presumably to pay lobbyists. Caldwell said the amount represented the discount on the warrants actuaily allowed. Gilbert made a vigorous speech against the claim, and Olmstesd spoke in favor of the measure. The motion to strike out the claim was carried by a vote of 36 to 81. Hall moved to add $3,000 for insurance on state buildings, which was lost. McBride moved to insert $1.900 for boiler inspection and insurance. Lost. Also an amendment repealing all special levies and transferring all state moneys to the general fund, which was ordered printed. House roll 484, the salary appropriation bill, was taken up. Corbin moved to reduce the salary of the rnor's private secretary from §1,500 to $1.700. Lost. ’ Dempster moved to increase the salary of the adjutant wenera! from $1,000 to §1,500. Before a vote was reached the house ad- journed until 10 o'clock to-morrow. Legislative Gossip. Lixcorx, Neb., March 18.—[Special to Taz Ber.|—The newspapers report a Sunday robbery at Auburn. It was not kmown be- fore that the gentlemen from Nemaha were at home Sunday. Henry E. Koehler, cashier of the First Na- tional bank, of Blue Hill, is examining the menagerie uuder the competent cars of Sen- ator Hoover. ‘The senate reporters are under many obli- gations to Secretary Seeley for favors, many and varied. One of the most appreciated is his kindness in having typewriter copies of resolutions and reports made for the benefit of the scribes. Nearly a full house greeted Speaker Wat- son this morning when the gavel fell. McBride does not seem to be on speaking terms with the officers and regents of the state university, He stated that none of them had come to him or to his committee and presented any argument in favor of any of the appropriations asked for, and thought they ‘‘must have been expecting an invitation written on velvet paper.” Cady got a good joke on the committee on ways and means to-day. He observed that the board of pharmacy had asked the sum of $206.50 for printing and the committee had allowed $205, and thought tnat they should not be allowed to make a record for economy on this item and moved to amend by increas- ing the figures to the full amount in the esti- , which carried with a hurrah. “Dick” Berlin occupied the chair m com- mittee of the whole to-day. When called to the position “Dick” tried to get excused on the plea that he had a bill which might come up, but the speaker declined to excuse him and amid the plaudits of the house the gen- tleman from Douglas seized the gavel and proceeded to direct legislation, ‘Woodruff Granite Qaarry. I am prepared to furnish Woodruff granite in paving blocks, door sills and steps, or blocks of most any dimeunsions at cheap figures. Also handle atmy Lincoln yard all classes of cut stone for any part of the state. Ask for figures. Thomas Price, Lincoln, Neb. THE UN1ON DEPOT. The Report That There is to Be One Confirmed. Frank Colpetzer was seen yesterday in reference to the depot promised by the Union Pacific railway. So far as the com- mittee appointed by the board of trade for the purpose of building a depot and bridge was concerned, the matter was not in a shape to permit any newspaper comment. “The Union Pacific is goinz to build a depot and that before long, and in conneetion with it will probably throw open the bridge 10 other companies desiring to use it. They are not throwing out any blind in the present t)lan‘ and have not built a depot because they have not been able to see where it would in any way increase their business or revenue. 1 don’t think they will wait now to see the, dollars come bac but they are going to build it probably within six months or a vear, and they want some encouragement.”” Further, Mr. Colpetzer said that while the new depot would be practically a union depot and open to all roads wishing to use it, 1t would be bailt by tue Union Pacific and re- main under its control. Catarrh Cured. A clergyman, after years of suffering from that loathsome disease, Catarrh, and vainly trying every known remedy, at last found recipe which completely cured and saved him from death. Any sufferer from this dreadful disease send- ing a self-addressed stamped envelope to Prof. J. A. Lawrence, 83 Warren St., New York City, will receive the recipe free of charg: Hayes Reappears. E. J. Hayes, the cashier and bookkeeper of Crane Bros'. Manufacturing company, who disappeared 8o sudaenly last Tuesday, made bis appearance yesterday at the office and as- sured Manager Lally that the amount for which be is held responsible would be settied Up 10 the entire satisfaction of all parties. Hayes claims that great injustice has been done him in the ublished reports of his queer work, ut does not forget to take the blame upon himself. The young man says, 8lso, that he had been in Omaha every hour, but foolishly refused to let his whereabouts be knows. The last return of accounts places the short- age 8t $1,600.

April 15 the Union Pacifio Will Run to Siomx City. As was cited exclusively in Tas Ber of Friday to the effect that the Union Pacific had not only obtained an entrance to Sioux City by running over the Sioux City & Nor- folk branch of the Northwestern, but that it also had closed negotiations for a lease of the road, turns out to be a fact. Information was today furnished to the effect that the first mentioned road had ob- tained a lease of the Norfolk branch for twenty-five years with the privilege of re- newal after expiration. On April 15 the Union Pacific will run its first train to Sioux City. The reason advanced for the above transaction is not 8o much in the entrance to Sioux City as it is to open up a route which mav have a tendency to prevent the construction of the new road between Sioux City and Ogden. The man- agement of the Union Pacific is reticent on this point, but in railway circles the object of the Union Pacific is understood to be as intimated. In connection with the case the Union Pacific has also agreed to enter into a union depot project co-jointly with the North- western, Illinois Central and the St. Paul & Omaha. The proposed depot will be con- ructed near the present site of the St. Paul and is to cost §250,000. Funnier Than the First Part. There was a somewhat comical episode witnessed by the passengers awaiting the east-bound passenger train at the Burlington depot yesterday., The Shafroth colored comedy troupe of fourteen members was preparing to depart for Iowa. They had given their baggage checks to C. H. Master- man,a drayman,and just a few minutes before the train arrived, the latter approached with y loaded vehicle,drawn by a sprightly Just as he crossed the Burlington track one of the front wheels of the vehicle went into a sluiceway resulting in a trunk toppling down on the horse's back. This was more than was bargained for by Topsy and it made its heels dance a Donuybrook jig on the dashboard. Master- man the driver was thrown to the ground but hung gallantly to the reins as his prostrate form was hauled through the mud and slush. Just as the horse turned the corner at the depot the entire cargo of valises, scenery and paraphernalia of the troupe was unloaded in the duck pond adjacent to the main entrance. Having accomplished this the frightened steed brought up against the baggage ofice and was then caught. Aside from resom- bling a subdivision to South Omaha che dray- man was uninjured. But it did not end at that point. There was baggage floating aboul like decoys for a hunung party and about fourteen typical discendants of Ham in the background frenzied in theextreme. The baggage was finally fished out, but the entire group missed the train and were compe! to tarry in Omaha. New Traffic Association. C. 8. Melien, general trafic manager of the Union Pacific has returned from an ex- tended conference of general managers at Chicago. He states that the result of the conference was the formation of three traffic associations, viz.: Northwestern & Western, Southwestern and Trans-Missouri. The foliowing is the territory covered oy the respective associations: Northwestern & Western—Dividing line is the Missour: river on the west from Kansas City and thence northwest to the boundary line of Montana and the international bound- ary. Southwestern—South from Kansas City, following the state lineof Kausas, Indian territory, to the Red river, and along the Red river west to the 95th meridian, ana thence south to the Gulf of Mexico. ‘Trans-Missouri—All territory west of the Missouri river and bounded on the east by the above lines. This supercedes the Colo- rado Traffic association aside from local freight matter. These associations will cover the freight and passenger business of all the lines in the territory covered by the presidents’ agreement. In the passenger traffic the ter- ritory is sub-divided the same as the freight aside from that of the southwestern ter- ritory, which has its line drawn from New Orleans up the Mississippi river to St. Louis and thence along the main line of the Missouri Pacific to Kansas City. Mr. Mel- len is of the opinion that the new organiz tion will simplify traffic matters to a lar; extent, and that the rates and trafic can operated on a more tangible basis. Engineer Ell Remembered. Friday evening Charless ElL a well-known engineer on the Union Pacific, was pre- sented with a handsome antique arm-chair in the club rooms at North Platte. Aside from the members of the club a delegation of thirty conductors was present, representing Omaha, Grand Islahd, Sidney, Cheyenne, Denvar and North Platte. The chair was donated by Gilmore Division 126 of the Order of Railway Conductors, and the token of es- teem was presented by F. E. Bullard. A most enjoyable time was had. Ballasting the Main Line. The Union Pacific is maging arrangements to ballast the main track with gravel be- tween Council Bluffs and North Platte. It is stated that $150,000 has been allowed for this purpose, and that as soon as the gravel beds are located the company will commence placing in & gravel surface on its main line, the Nebraska division being covered first, Railroaa Not General Passenger Agent Buchanan of the Elkhorn has gone to Chicago. Engine 776, on the Union Pacific, has emerged from the shops with Charley Sweezey at the throttle. General Manager Holdrege, of the Bur- lington, has rewurned from Chicago, together with General Freight Agent Miller, J.W. Firebaugh has been appointed freight agent at Blair for the Chicago, St. Paul, MinuL-né\ohs & Omaha in place of F.0.Folger, resigned. General Passenger Agent Francis, of the Burlington, and General Passenger Agent Lomax, of the Union Pacige, bave returned from Chicago. Two new vestibule coaches, 1o be used on the Golden Gate special on the Union Pacific, have arrived at Council Bluffs, and will make their first trip to-day. A. M. Collett, forewan of the car depart- ment of the Union Pacific, will soon be ap- pointed superintendent of that department and it is sad will assume his new position April 1. . John O'Hearen, who will be succeeded by Manuing as general foreman of the Union Pacific shops at this place, will succeed ning as master mechanic of the Omaha Yards shops at South Cmaha.

Messrs. Balcomb ang Kierstead transacted the board of works business yesterday, Furay being absent,, Everything was oar- ried without a dissenting vote. Permits were granted to the Omaha Horse Car com- y to lay tracks od Sixteenth street, from arnam 10 Dodge, ou Lake street from Eigliteenth to Sixteenth, and on Sherman avenue for two blocks north of Nicholas street. Applications for similar privileges on Sherman avenue, two blocks north, and on Sixteenth from How: to Farnam streets, were held over until to-day, It was also decided that when a street car compauy had a single track upon a street, it could Earnllel it by another track without an addi- onal permit. The fact became known yesteaday that Brad Slaughter, the republican war-horse of Nauce county, had been uppoiated Unite States marshal. He arrived in town at noon 10 relieve Mr. Bisrbower. Mr. Slaughter unnounced himself a candi- date for the piace very soon after Harrison's eloction and worked every siriug which be thought wouid iu any way assist him. One of his strongest pulls was m: wher. succeeded in _ securing the pledged support of Senator Mas- derson. From his active connection for years with state contral committee work, 80 as clerk of the house of representatives and efforts on the stump in almost every campaign, Mr. Slaughter is well known throughout Nebraska. Mr. Bierbower retires after an incumbency of eight years and six months. It is not known who Siaughter's deputy will be. Mr. Slaughter was in Omaha yesterday from his home in Nance county when the news cams from Washington asnouncing that he had been appointed United States marshal to succeed Ellis Bierbower. A large number of the gentleman’s friends ex- tended to him their congratulations, and for ‘llhno he floated on the top wave of popular- ity The appointment was not a surprise. Those who interest themselves sufficiently 10 keep posted have kmown ever since President Harrison's election that Mr. Slaughter was working hard d secure the office, and last evening scores of men were heard to express their satisfaction of the selection. One gen- tleman said that Mr. Slaughter had given nearly all his time for several years to poli- tics, had not been able to save any wmoney, and was as much if not more deserving of reward than almost any other man. Inas. much as he was indorsed by the entire Ne- braska delegation, the appointment is ce tain to be confirmed. Mr. Slaughter is a long-time resident of this state and well known. It will probably’ require about three weeks time for the commission to arrive. When it does come he will be qualified at once by Judge Dundy and take cnarge of the ofce. Until then Mr. Bicrbower will ocontinue to serve. In answer to the inquiries of a Bee re- porter, Mr, Slaughter said that he could not indicate who his deputies will be. He inti- mated that their selection will be left to the congressmen, supposing, of course, that Messrs. Mauderson, Paddock, Dorsey, Laird and Connell have friends whom they want to favor. Mr, Slaughter also said that, for the present at least, he will not bring his family from Fullerton to reside in Omaha.

There are many things to be grateful for, if we would but think so, and among these is the introduction of Van Duzer’s flavoring extracts somewhat less than a third of a century ago. If there is a cook in America, professional or other- wise, who has not tested and is not ready to avough the excellence of these well known preparations, she or he is wholly behind the age. No chemical or other” impurity contaminates them. They are simply delicious. JUSTI (;‘E INDOLENT. The Blind Goddess Lazily Adjudicat- ing Minor Cases.

Robinson, on motion of County Attorney Mahoney were admitted to practice in the district court of this county. The case of thedBank of Omaha against A. R. Souer was dismissed by the plaintiff’s at- torney. The Ballou-Sherwood case is still on trial before Judge Wakely.

The case was commenced before Hopewell Friday afternoon. Judge Groff's time is still occupied on that little suit of Van Etten vs. Butts. This is the case that has causea much trouble and has required many days' time of different courts and juries. It only involves $30 for attorney's fees, Nearly every member of the bar has been axamined as 1o the reason- ahle amount of fees for a lawyer to charge in such a case as Van Etten conducted for Butts, whom his counsel charged & The testimony adduced shows that $25 would have been a sufiicient fee.

The reporter called upon County Attorney Mahoney and questioned him as to the mode of procedure which would have to be ob- ser‘;'nd in the investigation. Mr. Mahoney said: “In order to proceed and to be able to call witnesses and require their attendance to give sworn testimony in the investigation of the alleged irregularities at the county hospi- 1al, 1t will be necessary that the county com- missioners procead under article 2 of chapter 18 of the compiled statutes, which provides for the filing of a complaint in writing veri- fied by the aftidavit of any frecholder. On this showing the county commissioners may issue summons upon the person charged and serve him with a copy of the charges. Then they may appoint a time for the hearing and calling of witnesses and proceed s s00n as possible with the investigation as near like a proceeding in court as may be. “‘On this theory I suzgested to the county commissioners that they notify Mr. Rose- water that on next Thursday they would be ready W entertain any complaint which might be filed against the county superintendent. I am_instructed to draw the necessary com- plaint and other papers for any person who may wish to make the affidavit I have de- scribed.” “After these formalities have boen gone through with the county commissioners will then have authority to issue legal subpceenas upon witnesses and compel their attendance t"’ was asked. *‘Yes sir, the commissioner will then pro- ceed as is the custom in the courts in the city and witnesses may be required to tesiify under oath,” e Who Wantsa Veterinary Scholarship?

FURNAS, Sec'y, Brownville, Neb. [Will state pupers call attention?] Four Divisions Defunct. A report has been in circulation that the Second (Omaha) reguuent, K. of P., is about to disband. Leading officers say the story is untounded. What has led to its circulation is perhaps the fact that four of the divisions in the regiment, namely, Falcon, Mt. Shasta, Ruebazael and Douglas have died and re- linquished their charters. These have n given the colonel of the regiment, who will forward them to the ade headquarters, after which they will be sent to the national headquarters and then the divisions will be dissolvea. Eight divisions still remain in the regiment, who are disposed to make the latter stronger thaun ever. The regiment canaot disband so loug as three divisions re- main, Blood Wiil Tell. There is no question about it—blood will tell—especially if it be an impure blood. Blotches, eruptions,pimples and boils are all symptoms of an impur blood, due to the improper action of the liver. When this important organ fails to properly perform its function of purifying and cleansing the blood, im- purities are carried to all parts of the system,and the symptoms above referred 10 are merely evidences of the struggle of nature to throw off the poisonous germs. Unless her warnings be heeded in time, serious results are certain to follow, culminating in liver or kidmey disorders, or even in consumption. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery wi prevent and cure these diseases, by re- storing the liver to a healthy condition.
