Rheumatism We doubt if there is. or can be, a specific remedy for rheumatism j but thousands who t»ve suffered its pains have been greatly ben ded by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. If you have failed to find relief, try this great remedy. “I was afflicted with rheumatism twenty years. Frcvious to 1883 I found no relief, but pew worse, and at one time was almost help |e,s. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did ine more good than all the other medicine I ever had.” If T. Bai/ om, Shirley Village, Mass. i had rheumatism three years, and got no relief till 1 took Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It has done great things for me. I recommend it to (abets." Lewis Bukbank, Hiddeford, Me. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is characterized by three peculiarities 1st, the combination of remedial agents 2d, the proportion; 3d, the proem of securing the active medicinal qualities. The result is a medicine of unusual strength, effecting cures hitherto unknown fiend for book containing additional evidenc, "Hood's Sarsaparilla tones up my system, •urilies my blood, sharpens my appetite, and seems to make me over.” J. r.

BEAR IN MIND that when your blowl becomes, impure the safe guard against serious illness is to at once resort to some reliable purifier. Long experience with Vegetine proves beyond question that it is the best blood purifier known. DON’T ALLOW BLOTCHES and pimples to disfigure you when there is a po-ili e cure to be lmd in tint timely use of Vegetine. REST AND SLEEP an* indispensable, would you enjoy sound health. Its eoiitroling influence over the nervous sys teni, has ma le VEtiETINK a blissing to thous and Nervous sufferer you will find sure relief in V.*gctiiie. NEVER GIVE UP bow ••ver serious your case, whether of Scrofula, later or Kidney Complaint, Salt Kheum, Itheti mntLni or any disease arising from an impure state of the blood until you have given Vegetinc a thorough trial. It is a remedy for just this class of disc.:-es and in numerous cases, wdiich all (?or» iv tailed to reach, it has proved to be of groat cfitcur; or PAIN RUFU.ttATlS.H and NEURALCOA have leas rnoufh ran riot in the human system. They have tormented the human family and i defied the medical faculty; from time out of memory j they have corrupted the blood, demoralized the Joints, I vexed tlie nerves, agonized the muscles and racked the brain with wearying pain. “Athlophokos” Is the enemy of Rhcuma- i him and Neuralgia, repairs their damages, renews the blood, eases tlie Joints, calms the nerves, soothes the nmscles, gives rest and i*eace to the troubled brain, and eusurcs delightful sleep. Athlophokos la a new remedy, twit It has been abundantly tried. From far and near come tea timonials from well-known persons who had long been sufferers. It has turned their dlsoases out It has cured them. That is all,—and that is enough. Athlophokos” can do for you what it has done for those sufferers. It can drive out your Rheumatism and Neuralgia, and will do so if you give it a fair trial. Athlophokos has by this time had such a food trial all over tlie country that its true work is known, and its true character proved. “Athlophokos” means Prize* Bearer Victor; Conqueror.” 11 carries oil the prize as Victor over the ttaeks of thene terrible maladies, «nd Conqueror of the frightful agonies their vic ttnm have endured.

Have new presses, large quantities of paper stock, and the latest styles of type. Orders by mall will receive prompt attention. Them is going to be a grand slugging match between Carter Harrison and Wil liam R. Morrison over the democratic sen atorial nomination in Illinois. Among contagious diseases diphtheria was the most fatal in New York City the last year. The filthiest quarters of the city furnished the largest number of vic tims. The reduction ol telegraph rates is one ol the first blessings of the New Year to the public. It is not unlikely that it may also be a good business stroke for the companies that have done it. The Massachusetts savings hanks have 000,000 invested in national bank stock. People who want any better en dorsement of the national banks than this fact affords will have to apply to the Sec retary of the Treasury. Representative Reed of this State lias his opinion of Cleveland’s civil service reform letter. Asked what he thought about it, be said: “Well, I like it. It gives assurance that all the sneaks of our party will he eared fur and all the honest men bounced.” Ilradstreet’s report of the failures for 1H84 forms rather a gloomy record. The number has been greater than in any year since 1878, and is a little larger than ever in that year, while the amount of liabili ties is about the same as it then was. Nearly 11,000 failures, (10,065,) with lia bilities ui' $2:14.38:5,132, have marked the year The democratic Congressmen from Ten nessee have agreed to divide the federal patronage in that State among themselves upon a simple geographical basis, and it is stipulated that no applicant tor office will be given a hearing unless he comes endorsed bv the Congressman from his own district. How is this for civil service reform The tight over tiio spoils in the New York City Government as the old Mayor went out and a new one came in is not creditable to the party that claims Cleve and, the professed civil service reformer, for its head. The decapitation of Hubert Thompson, Commissioner of Public Works, was, however, one good result of the contest. There is a growing probability that the Blair educational bill may pass the House. The fact that the bill has ardent support ers among prominent representatives from the South makes it more probable that it will receive consideration. The South is not anxious or deeply concerned over the problem of illiteracy, but it is anxious to secure appropriations. North Carolina, Mississippi and Virginia members are specially earnest in support of the bill. "Now is the time to get married,” says an exchange. "The cholera epidemic, the scientists say, is likely to reach America next summer, ami the enterprising statis tician has demonstrated the fact that sin-j glo men of all ages aro much more liable to become victims of this malady than married men. Indeed, we believe the proportion is almost three to one. No i time should be lost, and bachelors should j begin at once to fortify themselves against i cholera.” There will be held in London, in May. 1886. and continuing for several months, j an American exhibition, to be devoted ex clusively to a display of the arts, manu factures. products, ami resources ot the j United States. The success of this unique j exhibition has already been assured by the subscription of the necessary capital to make it a correct and faithful exposi- j tion of industries and products. Efforts are now being made to enlist interest in this exhibition so as to give a favorable I impression through its agency upon tor cign countries of the products, resources, j and capabilities of the United States. At a recent meeting of friends of tem p lary national aid to common schools, held iu New York City, a committee was j chosen to go to Washington, and urge the passage of the educational bill by the i House. The census of 1880 shows that there are iu the United States 6,239,958 la above the age of ten, who cannot read and write; that ot these, 1,908,818 are voters. J an'* that the number of illiterate voters in nearly every State is larger than the ma jority in the said State for either political party at the presidential elections. In some of the States it is from forty to fifty per cent, of the whole number of voters; hence the decision of the presidency is always in the hands of those who cannot read the ballots they cast. Through ig norance they either do not perform their political duties at all, or do it imperfectly and under thejdirection of some designing leader. This is a constant menace to free institutions. The productiveness of the labor of the illiterates is from twenty-five to fifty per cent, less than it would be if they were educated to the extent of the usual common school course hence illit eracy is a great hindrance to the growth of national wealth. The ignorant in the United States produce twenty-two times their pro rata proportion of paupers, and ten times their pro rata proportion of criminals; hence, as a consequence ot illiteracy, they impose a heavy burden upon the rest of the community. These are strong arguments in tavor of the pas sage of the bill, which has already passed the Senate and now awaits the action of the House. Mr. Clarkson on St. John. Denouncing the Prohibition Candidate as a Corruptionist. Mr. Clarkson of Des Moines, member of the republican national committee, recently charged in his paper that there was abundant proof of St. John’s duplicity and attempted double-dealing in The late campaign, and that lie (Clarkson) could give the particulars if be chose to do so. This brought out a reply from B. F. Wright, the Editor of the Charles City Intelligencer and Secretary of the State Temperance Alliance. Mr. Wright declares thot Mr. Clarkson is either mistaken, or that his political animosity toward St. John is still hot. lie closes with declaring his full belief in St. John’s sincerity and honorable conduct in the campaign. Mr. Clarkson re turns to the charge by declaring his belief in Mr Wright's own sincerity, but denying that attribute to St. John. Mr. Clarkson says that he has the proofs of Governor St. John’s two-facedness, but that they are of a confi dential nature, and he cannot divulge them without express permission from St. John, it Mr Wright, Clarkson says, will secure Governor St. John's permissio the full de tails will be forthcoming. Mr. Clarkson in speaking of the matter, says that no offer was made on the part of the republicans to induce St. John to abandon his canvass, and concludes in the following lan guage “It is time for this scoundrel, who has so long made merchandise of the cause of prohibition to his own personal gain, and who cares no more for it, in fact, than the highwayman cares for the moral law, to do two tilings first, to stop lying about the re publican party and its national committee, and, second, to stop his pretence ot being a prohibitionist and a temperance man, and take his position straight with the democratic partv and the liquor interesls, with whom he lias become in fact practically identified. We give him this wise and affectionate ad vice, knowing it to be for Ills own good. If he keeps up his lying about the renuhlican party, the committee will he obliged to inform the public of the overtures he made to it to sell out his candidacy, and il lie continues to parade himself as a prohibitionist, when he is in fact the meanest traitor ami most injuri ous enemy it has ever had in the United States, other people who know the truth will he compelled, in justice and fair dealing, to tell it.” A Bad Year ior Business. More Kaiu res in 1884 than Before since 1878. I riio annual report of Bradstreel’s received Dec. 31, shows that the year which has jnst closed has been a very disastrous one in point of failures in business throughout the country. As far as the number of houses that have collapsed, go, there has not been any approach to the number that failed last year sine 1878, when the number reported was 10,178 with aggregate liabilities of $234,383,132. In 1884 there were 10,9118 failures, the liabilities in the ag gregate being $220,343,427. an increase of numbers over those during the preceding year of 1,784. or about 20 per cent. However, the percentage, as compared with that between i tlie years of 1882 and 18811, which was 30 per cent, is much less. The liabilities of the past year amount to over $220,000, as against $172,874,172, in 1883, and compared with 1881, when the liabilities were only $81,155. 922, this shows a great advance. Of the number of failures reported during 1881 the greatest number occurred in the Western States, where, out of 330.910 business firms 3.309 of them went by the heard. having aggregate liabilities of $54, 872,983. Next in order come the Middle States with 2,592 failures out of 278,093 business firms, with liabilities of $112,856, 060, and then the Easti rn States with 1,375 failures—92,381 firms—with liabilities of $17,223,831. The least failures occurred in the Pacific States and Territories, where they numbered 1,341 out of 54.481 firms, with total liabilities o( $13,071,996. New York and Brooklyn had more failures than any other cities in the Union, 718 being reported out of 44.860 firms doing business, with liabilities of $77,875,721. This is an increase in these cities over 1883 of 173 firms and of $45,665,390 in liabilities. The next city is Chicago, where 3183 failures, with $6,946,986 liabilities, failed during the year, being an increase in nmbers of 52 and a decrease in liabilities of $6,256,293 The city most fortunate is St. Louis, where only 85 failures occurred, with $5,849,456 liabilities, which, however, is an increase over the previous year. The State in w hich most failures occurred is New York, leading with 1,424 collapses, against 1,130 during the year before, while Delaware,with 27 failures, is the most fortunate. Wyoming had but 2 failures during the year and Idaho 8. Alaska is fortunate without a single failure. The failures in the different cities, beside those already mentioned, are as follows: Boston, 305. against 235 in 1883; Philadelphia, 225, against 174 in 1883; Cincinnati, 112, against 79 in 1883; San Francisco. 220. against 148 in 1383. The average liabilli ties for the past year are $20,632. In the Dominion of Canada there are reported 1,327 failures during the year out of 69.994 firms, with aggregate liabilities of $19,191 306. In 1883 there were 1.384 failures and $15,949, 361 liabilities. Personal, General Massey is said to read his own productions like a bashf ul school boy.

The symptoms are Want of Appetite, Nansen, Vomiting, Flatulency, Eructations and pain, generally companied with Constipation. The causes are Hurried Eating, Rich Food, Unseasonable Food, Mtatal Anxiety, Ac. The Stomach being unable to take up and digest the food, it of course decays, and the Cj Saes and acid matter arising from It produce Heartburn, Utilises, a sense of Fullness and Weight 1, e region oi the stomach This of course poisons the blood, and the combination to throw the whole system ont of order. It can be cured by Brown’s Sarsaparilla. This is not a “quack” preparation, nor is it a patent medicine. It is a scientific Remedy, prepay for the Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, which are the fountain heads of nearly all the ills of mankind. It compounded trom a formula of the late Wm. H. Brown, M. D., of Bangor, Me. Dr. Brown was a highly educated physician who bad a reputation tar outside the limits of his own State. He was a graduate of Bowdoin College, 1842. and Harvard Medical School, 1850, finishing his education for his chosen pro.sssloa in Europe, and he was known a* the talented physician who was sure to be called in to all critical cases where medical skill was required. He was the tamily physician of Chief Justice Peters of Maine, a* well as of Hon. C A. Boutelle, M. C., Bangor; Hon. T. N Egery, Judge Humphrey, present Mayor uf Bangor, and many others. lion. J. P. Bass, Ex-Mayor of Bangor, says: Some two years since I was afflicted with Dyspepsia in its worst form. I consulted the b knows physicians in this section, in Boston, and in New Y'ork, without any beneficial results. About on* year ago I began to use Brown’s Sarsaparilla, and from that time I have continued to improve. I have got back to inv usual weight, having gained since I began to use Brown's Sarsaparilla, over 35 pounds. I coa sider Browu’s Sarsaparilla the best remedy for Indigestion I have ever used. J. P. SAS*. Strong Statement from a Well-Known Railroad Man. Everyone knows Wm. A. Cromwell, the General Eastern Passenger Agent of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad. Mr. Cromwell is a very active man, living most of his time on railroad train*. Naturally he sometimes finds himself out of condidlon, ard says that when in need of anv medicine has always taken Browu’s Sarsaparilla. “I consider it,” says Mr. Cromwell, “the best thiug for indigestiot and troubles with til blood or kidneys that has ever come to my notice, and to railroad men, who, from the very uature of their occupation, are easy subjects to Kidney and Liver troubles, I would say you wig find a powerful friend in Browu’s Sarsaparilla.” From a Well-Known Clergyman. Rev. Theo. H. Gerrish is pastor oi the Pine ht. M. E church iu Bangor. Mr. Gerrish is also the author of tne “Blue and the Gray,” and “Reminiscences of the War.” Mr. Gerrish served as a private during the war, aud has a record gathered on various battle fields which few men made. Following his double work of pastor and author, Mr. Gerrish came to be in ill health, and, so seiious was his case that he gave up the ministry for a time. A member of his family became afflicted about this time with a serious Kidney trouble, and this additional burden was thrown upon Mr. Gerrish. Physicians were employed, many iemedies tried, and everything that foud friends could suggest was done. Little or no beueflt wm deriv« d irom these, and hope had almost given way to despair when Brown’s Sarsaparilla was recommend ed. It was tried, the patient recovered, and is now in good health. Mr. Gerrish is opposed g* nerally speaking, to the use of his name in connection with a patent medicine, but so much benefit has been de rived from Brown’s Sarsaparilla that he freely consents to its use here. Brown’s Sarsaparilla is sold by all druggists at $1.00; ft far jA.tO. HOLIDAY GOODS* -JUST BECUVKD AT— IB.
