THE POOR IlorsE QI'ESTIOS.
The 27th day of May is appointed as the
day fcr the election in which the people Ate
to decide for, or against the sale of the pros
cot Poor House propeity and the purcba-e
of another. It behooves every tax payer te
consider this question seriously before be
votes; for in voting for the sale of the Poor
House he votes for more taxes. The taxes
are already heavy enough, but the sale of
the present Poor House property and the
purchase of another. ? : mply means an in
crease of the Poor taxes from $15,000 to
$30,000. Every one knows that even if wc
buy as good a property as the present one.
the County loses both in the sale and the
purchase. The County can neither sell
nor purchase property to the same advan
tage as a private individual. It therefore,
both in the sale and purchase, places the
County at a disadvantage. There are per :
haps a hundred people in the County who
will vote for a sale of the present property
because they each have a farm which they
hope to sell to the County for about twice
its value. There are perhaps several hun
dred more who will vote the same way,
with no definite idea of what is to be done,
but simply because tbey have a vague notion
that the present property is badly managed
and that the erection of a new Poor House
will cost a great d> al of money. But a new
Poor House must be built in any event, and
the sale and purchase will only add some
$20,000 or $30,000 more to the cost of
build lDC. Some twenty years ago a com
mi tree of a dozen or more of our best citi
zens sj>ent a month or two in riding over
the County in search of a suitable property,
and after a great deal of time and money
had been expended, bought the present
property t- the best thev could find in the
County. We believe it is the same to-day.
and that no more suitable property can be
found in the County. It is conveniently
located on the public highways, is at the
County seat, almost in the exact centre of
the County, has an abundance of running
w-,;er to supply the buildings, and as much
•ruble land, and mote, than the paupers are
able to till. It need be the property can be I
divided, and the mill and present buildings. I
as soon as a new Poor House is erected, J
may be sold for half as much as it will cost |
to erect the new building, still leaving as I
much land as is needed for farming pur- I
poses.
The expenses for visitation by Grand I
Juries, and for medical attendance will be 1
far heavier if tbe Poor House is removed I
any great distapc-e from the County seat, j
It is much more convenient for all tbe citi
zen; of the County to transact business with
the Poor Directors at the County seat than
if they were several miles distant. In fact,
wh He there will not be a single substantia! I
advantage gained by its removal there will I
be much lost.
Almost the only argument wr have yet I
heard in favor of a remora! has been that'
there would be fewer war-faring paopers to
feed. If there is any force in such an argu
ment. we might carry it a little further and
oppose the building of a Poor House at all
on the ground that we would then have no
poor to keep. Tbis might do among heath
en. but the day has passed when such
thing- can be done in a christian communi
ty It is our bounden duty to care for the
•->*, and the law provide, that this shall be
i ne by levying a fair and equitable tax for
the purpose. Tbe way-faring poor are in
cluded in our charge, and the removal of the
Poor House to anincooveniect distanoe from
the public highways lays a double tax upon
tl. >? w' happen to live along them, for it
comp-. - them to support the way-faring poor
and pay their proportionate tax besides.
No sane man will deny the injustice of such
a course. These are but a few among many
good reasons why the present property
should not be so J. We might argue the
quest! n at great length, but forbear at
r-csent, our object being simply to call the
attention of tax-payers to the importance of
the matter and to let them think for them
selves.
We will be glad to hear both sides of tbe
question JL- ussed by onr citizens, and our
columns are open to any communications on
the subject from this time until the election.
WISDO.W !!!
: are living under tbe present most !
iniquitous tariff at the average rate of 47

into tbe general consumption the duty

00 /®®f .kinds it is over 300 per cent.
And this is the war the dominant paity is

prcssion that cannot he borne mncb longer

Our triend Meyers only makes one mis
-1 'L hsne taxes be complains so terribly
about are laid on the products of foreign
labor, for the purpose of protecting AmeriJ
can labor. I: is free-trade that permits the
labor and business of the country to be
"crushed" by the pan per made products of
Europe. This tariff that be calk "iniijs
is laid upon the products of foreign
labor and by it the government is supported
and our debt paid without taxing American
labor or American productions. It is the
free trade for which the Patriot pleads that
would not only refuse to protect American
labor but necessitate a heavy tax upon it to
pay the interest oo our debt These taxes
are upon foreign labor and capital friend
Meyer; for which you seem to care much
more than you do for American laborers.
WASTS WOKE or i*T
The Goz-ttt of last week, published a por
tion of tbe rampant free-trade speech of
Judge Marsha.! of Illinois, complaining of
the tariff duties laid upon various imported
articles for the purpose of building up our
manufactures and creating a home market
for tbe farm produce which we cannot sell
abroad. Wheat is now a drug in the mark
et at one dollar per bushel, yet the Gazette
and Judge Marshall would dose up onr
manufactures of all kinds, destroy the mark
er produced by them and put the opera
tives to raising wheat until the farmer
would perish for want of clothing amid tbe
hear sof grain he could not sell Such is
the w.sdom of free-traders. Our fanners
have not yet forgotten thai a few years ago
an-or the free trade that the Gazette advo
cates western farmers burned their core fo
. becMße thf T not sell it at any
I nee.

WEALTH
There are thaw; who thiuk that party
fealty requires them to uphold all a patty
does, right or wrong. They ore no| com
petcnt to comprehend of
thought or are too mercenary to believe
that any one cise can hold or express an
opinion for which he has sot teen, or does
not ctpect to be paid. They dou't believe in
principle and have faith only in selfishness,
the worst feature of human nature. Our
criticisms of public acts of members of the
Republican party hare been frequently
! found fault with by people of this class.
. For the benefit of all such and that they
may know that independent criiki-iB is a
characteristic of all the better portion of the
Republican press, we append the following
from the Philadelphia Pi ex* as a specimen
not only of its sentiments, but also of many
others of the very best Republican Journals:
The Legislature has adjourned, and with
its adjournment comes a sense of relief to
the Commonwealth. ft is not jocularly or
with flippancy we say so. It is a sad thine
to say, for it is a confession of the partial
failure of our republican theory and princi
ple of government. 1f it fails to a certain de
cree will it not finally break down entirely?
If the leaven of corruption is at work, what
guarantee have we that it will not in time
work the destruction of the whole body?
For one we have the utmost confidence,
the fullest faith, in the final triumph of our
free institutions, and we believe them to be
in themsolvec by far the best and most satis
factory experiment in the way of govern
mem ever tried. It is the result of the
ages, and so an advanc; on all before it.
That the .•paten, however, as applied to
our State this last year has been a disastrous
snd lamentable fi'lure is beyond denial.
Out dignity has been-Aowered—our proper
ty squandered—oar rights violated—our re
monstrances and instructions laughed at and
all by the men we have ourselves chosen to j
represent us and to administer our poli ieal
estate. They bare even crown defiant of
propriety, of custom, and of law, and have
openly committed fraud in the very making
of the laws. As far as our Legislature is
coucerced. we have had the worst of rulers:
ami our case is better than that of the mis
governed people of other times only in that
the term of our legislators is limited.
Clearly, then, the remedy for the wrong
we have suffered these years lies in the selec
tion of our Representatives. It is by reason
of our own default that we have been re
presented by men with whom a large por
tion of the better class of us would not asso
ciate, either socially or in bnsioess. It is
useless, and it is not very tnanly in us, to
complain of and abuse the weak and incom
peteut and dishonen men whom we send to
Harrisbnrgh. and invest with the most sa
cred trust committed to o ir eare.
No man would commit his private busi
ness to the management of the class of men
to whom we habituaMv commit the manage
meat of the public affairs. No merchant of
Philadelphia—we say it squarely, and mean
it—would commit his business house to the
management of the Legislative delegation
from this city. Fhould any bank of this !
city turn over its affair- to the directorship
of these men, its stock would sink to noth
ing in a single day. When we think calm
ly of this fact we see how grossly culpable
has been our own conduct.
Hid we all do our pergonal duty the gov
ernment of this State would reflect credit on
every citizen of it—would cost little or noth
ing. and would in a little time, by the judi
cious development of our resources, bring
wealth and prosperity to ail. We can lay
down a single rule, which if observed, would
secure us all that any system of governmer.t
can accomplish: Let every voter rettdte, both j
at the primary and 'delegate eUericm. fa to', j
for no man trhom he vytdd not be vriUmg to j
make hi it otm executor.
It is a notorious fact that the executors,
guardians and trustees whom we find ID auy
community are one class of persons, and
the civil officers another class. We habitu
ally choose for public trusts men whom we
would not for a moment entrust with our
private estates The moment we apply the j
same rule to the selection of our public trus
tees that we do to the choice of our private
trustees, we shall get the same class of men.
| See for one moment how the enforcement of
! this niie would cut off nearly every common
candidate for office. Who would Dominate
for his executor a man who sought the place?
Who would nominate for his executor a ruan j
without a known means of livelihood ? Wbo
would be likely to nominate for hbexecu-!
tor a man who had mismanaged or loat his :
own estate? Who would nominate for his
executor a man given to drinking in low and
public- places, or the associate of gambler??
and so on indefinitely the tjuestioa might be
pushed, end the answer to it wouldsweep out
one after another, the whole race and class
of office-beggars who now on aonie process,
slowly, perhaps, but certainly, in time be
come our office holders.
The adoption of this rule would certainly
have saved us from the last Legislature.
Leaving aside a few honorable exceptions,
none of its members were ever invested by
their neighbors with private trusts. In
every county our readers can examine their
own delegaiion apd apply this lest.
HALF A MILLION of Canadians are work
ing in the I nited States to-day, preferring
it to Canada. Canada has free trad® and
very li-bt taxes, yet business is so dull
there that there is a regular hegira of her
people into the SCi.cs where we have a
j high tariff and heavy tares. If fret-trade
j confers so many blessings on a people as its
I advocates declare, the Canadians must be a
very stupid people to run away from the
blessiDgs of free-trade and come under all
the hardships of a country loaded with a
protective tariff and taxes. How does it
come brother free-traders? Isn't it just
possible that there is a slight mistake in
your theory ? The Canadians certainly de
clare by their deeds that their experience
has taught them that there is more work,
better wages, and better living under a
tariff on this side the St. Lawrence than
there is under free trade on the other side.
Surely the two sides of the river cannot
make all the difference. Won't the free
traders explain the difficulties? If they
don't we must conclude that it is better to
have & tariff.
IT seems that Territorial Legislatures and
Governors are subject to the infirmity of a
greed for spoil as well as their compeers in
older communities. The House Committee
on Territories has discovered that certain
Territorial legislatures have been in the
habit of BOt only voting themselves double
salaries but have abo voted salaries to their
Governors in addition to that paid by the
general Government. This might be
no business of ours if the Territories
footed the bills, but they have ruan
ged to make Cocle Sam pav both the
regular and extra salaries. Now that
the fraud has been discovered and will
no doubt te stopped; it is pr&Ubfe there
will not be quite so many candidates for the
appointment of territorial Governors.
THE House of Representatives, on the
ISth inst.. in Committee of the Whole,
passed an amendment to the tariff bill re
dueing the duty on pig iron, from seven
dollars per ton as in the original bill, to
five, by a vote of 6. to 63. Nearly a hun
dred members were absent. The amend
ment was offered by' General Butler. It is
not likely to pass in a full House. The real
contest will be between the seven dollars
reported by the Comroilte of Ways and
Means and the duty of nine dollars the
present rate of duty. There is a small ma
jority in the House in favor of a protective
tariff.

The "Plebiscite.*'
| Readers who have been bother-. J over tie
j word "plebiscite," so constantly occurring |
in the last fortnight in the Parts telegrams, j
may like to know that it is only a high sound
ing name for a special ekction. French j
literary men and politicians have a weakness -
for Latin terms, and so call a special election !
a "plebiscitum, which was a Latin name
for a law passed in those assemblies of the
people called cortitia tr&wta. Strictly speal- j
mg. the "plebiscitum" i.<a decree thus pas
sed by the whole body of the people. Tte
French form of the word is "plebiscite," and
the term is loosely applied to the decree, •
the submission of the decree to vote, and
the draft of the decree which is discussed,
as now, to the Corps Legislatif. But this
draft is also and more properly called a
'Senatus-consultnm"—another Latin phra-e
signifying both a decree of the Senate and a <
debate therein. Regularly the "Senaiu?-
consultum was the form by which the Ko
man people passed upon a law by yea and
nay vote, but they also had the power of
voting on measures not introduced by the
Senate, and this power of introducing law
to the people for their vote is what in France
is called the "plebiscitary" power, and what j
the Emperor now reserves for himself, indc- :
pendent of any action his Parliament may
tak>. The "Senatus consultum' now on,
hand perpetuates the sovereign power in the
Bonaparte family, and its adoption will bind
anew all who support it to the fortunes of
that family.

wholesome truths, which it was good tor
him to say and good for the Council to hear.
All of a sudden, when be touched a sore
point, he was greeted with the cries. •"He
retic! Heretic! We condemn him."—One
solitary voice was raised in the Bis l op'=
favor—"l do not condemn him." On this
the shont became general. "DaninauiUd—
we do condemn him." "You are a Protes
tant. Shut up! Come down from the tri
bune." From the tribune he descended, and
protected by the flaming sword of hi? miii
tary servant, he escaped from the Council.

The remarkable success which alt elided our
negotiation ot'thc Loan* of the Central Pactru
Railroad CottrAsr and the Western Pacific
Railroad Cos tax r, and the popularity and cred
it which there Loan* have maintained in (he
markets, both in this country anil Europe, have
shown that the First Mortgage Bonds of wisely-
I located and honorably-managed Railroads are
| promptly recognized and readily taken a* the
cost suitable, safe, and advantageous form of
j iiarcetment, yielding a more liberal : ncome than
j ea* hereafter he derived from Government Bonds,
j anlavaiiablc to take their place.
I Assured that, in she selection and negotiation
j of superior Railroad Loans, we arc meeting a
i great puhlir want, and rendering a valuable ser
vice—b th to the holders of Capital and to those
| great National Works of internal improvement
i whose intrinsic merit and substantial character
: entitle them to the use of Capital and the confi

The Chesapeake an J Ohio Railroad, connecting I
the Atlantic coast and .the magnificent harbors
of the Chesapeake Bay with the Ohio Rirer at a
point of reliable navigation, and thus, with the
entire Railroa system and water transportation
of the great West and Sc-nthwest, FORMS THE
ADDITIONAL EAST AND WEST TRUNK
LINES, so imperatively demanded for the ac
commodation of the immense and rapidly-grow
ing transportation between the Atlantic seaboard
and Europe on the one hand, and the great pro
ducing regions of the Ohio and Mississippi Val
leys on the other.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ROAD AS
A NEW OUTLET FROM THE W EST TO TIIE
SEA magnifies it into one of national consequence,
and insures to it an extensive through traffiic
from the day of its completion; while, in the de
velopment of the extensive igrici'haral and min
eral resources of Virginia and West-Virginia, it
possesses, along its own line, the elements of a
large and profitable local business. -
Thus the gvcat interests, both general and local,
which demand the completion of the Chesapeake
asd Ohio Railroad to the Ohio RiveT. afford
the surest guarantee of its success and value, and :
RENDER IT THE MOST IMPORTANT AND j
SUBSTANTIAL RAILROAD ENTERPRISE |
NOW IN PROGRESS IN THIS COUNTRY, j
Its superiority as an East and West route, and ;
the promise of so immense and profitable trade j
awaiting iU completion, havu drawn to it the
attention and co-operation of prominent Capital- {
ista and Railroad men of this City of sound judg- ;
rncnt and known integrity, whose connection with I
it, together with that of eminent citizen? and bus- j
mess men of Virginia and IN'est Virginia, IS- !
SURES AN ENERGETIC, HONORABLE and j
SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT.
T'.e Road is completed and in operation from ■
Richmond to the celebrated White Sulphur
Springs of West Virginia, 227 miles, and there
remain but 290 miles (now partially constructed) j
to be completed, to carry it to the proposed ter- :
minus on the Ohio rirer, at, or near, the mouth j
of the Big Sandy river, 150 miles above Cincin
nati, and 350 mile# below Pittsburgh-
Lines are now projected or in progress through
Ohio and Kentucky to this point, which will con- j
nvct the CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO WITH
THE ENTIRE RAILROAD SYSTEMS OF
THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST, AND WITH
THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Its valuable franchises and superior ad van la- '
ges will place tne Cat -apeake a.vd Obio Rail-
Road CouPAXV among the richest and most
powerful and trustworthy corporations of the
country; AND THERE EXISTS A PRESENT
VALUE. IX COMPLETED ROAD AND WORK
DONE, EQUAL TO THE ENTIRE AMOUNT
OF THE MORTGAGE.
The details of the Loan have been arranged
with special reference to the wants of all classes
of investors, and combine the various features of
convenience, safety, and protection sgainst loss
or fraud.
The Bonds are in denominations of
•1000, SSOO. and SIOO.
They will be issued as Convon Bowie, yvyd/e
to Bearer, and may be held in that form: or
The Bond may be reyietered in the name of the
owner, with the coupons remaining payable to
bearer, attached, the prineipal being then trans
ferable only on the books of the Company, nniess
re assigned to bearer: or
The coupons may be detached and cancelled,
the Bond made a permanent Reyittered Bond,
transferable only on the books of the Company,
and the interest made payable only to tho regis
tered owner or bis attorney.
The three classes will be known respectively as
It. • COUPON BONDS PAYABLE TO
BEARER."
•2nd. "REGISTERED BONDS WITH COU
PONS ATTACHED."
3rd. "REGISTERED BONDS WITH COU
ROXt> DETACHED," and should fce so designa
ted by Correspondents in specifying the class of
Bonds desired.
They have THIRTY YEARS to run from Jan
uary 15, 1879, with interest at six per cent per
annum from November 1, 1879, PRINCIPAL and
INTEREST PAYABLE IN GOLD IN THE
CITY OF NEW YORK.
The interest is payable in May and November,
-hat it may take the place of the earlier issues of
Five-Twenties, and suit the convenience of our
friends who already hold Central and Western
Pacific Bonds, with interest payabie in Januarv
and July, and who may desire, in making addi
tional investments, to bare their interest receiva
ble at different seasons of the year.
The Loan is secured by a mortgage upon the
entire Line of Road from Richmond to the Ohio
River, with the equipment and all other property
and appurtenances connected therewith.
A SINKING FUND OF sloo,9## PER AN
NUM IS PROVIDED FOR THE REDEMP
TION OF THE BONDS, TO TAKE EFFECT
ONE YEAR AFTER THE COMPLETION OF
THE ROAD.
The mortgage is ior $15,000,00# of which $2,-
#00,090 will be reserved and heid in trust for the
redemption of outstanding Bonds of the lYrytata
Central Raxlroad Company, now merged in the
Chisai-iake Ann Onto.
Of the remaining $13,699,000, a sufficient
amount will be sold to complete the road to the
Ohio river, perfect and improve the portion now
in operation, and thoroughly equip the whole for
alarge and active traffic.
The present price is 90 and accreted interest.
A Loan so amply secured, so earnfully guarded,
and so certain hereafter to command a prominent
place among the farcrite securities in the mar
kets, both of this Country and Europe, will be at
onec appreciated and quickly absorbed.
Very respectfully,

Tb following tat selected from thousands
of testimonials of similar character, as ex
pressing the reasons for the preference fur
the GKOVSR A BAKSR Machines over all
others.
* * "I like the Grove, A Baker Machine,
in the first plaae, because if I had any other '
I should still want a Grover k ltaker: and, j
having a Grovcr k Baker, it answers the put- I
pose of all the rest. It does a greater variety |
of work and it is easier to learn than any oth- j
tr."—Mrs. J. C. CrAy {Jenny June.)
* * "I have bad several years' ex peri j
ence with a Grover A Baker Machine, which |
has given me great satisfaction. I think the
| Grover A Baker Machinois more easily man
| sged, and less liable to get out%f order. I
! prefer the Grover A Baker, decidedly."— |
j -Yrs. Dr. Watts, New York.
I * * "I have had one in my family for 1
j some iiVo years: and from what I know of its
workings, and from the testimony of many of ~
my trieDds who use the same, I can hardly j
see how anything could be more complete or |
give belter satisfaction."— Mrs. Gen. Grant, j
* * "I believe it to be the best, all things
considered, ol any that I have known. It is !
very simple and easily learned; the sewing
from the ordinary spools is a great advan
tage. the stick is entirely reliable) it does or- j
naraeotal work beautituliy: it is net liable to :
get ont of order."— Mrs. A. M. Sttooncr, 3S j
Itond Street, fitooklyn.
* ° "I am acquainted with the work of j
the principal machines: and I prefer the Gro- j
ver A Baker to them all, because I consider j
the stitch more elastic. I have work now in j
the house which was done nine years ago, t
which is still good."— Mrs. Dr. McCready, ;
So. 43 East 22a street. Kett York.
* * "More than two-thirds of all the
sewing done in my family for the last two !
years has been done by Grover A Baker's :
Machine, and I never had a garment rip or i
need mending, except those rents which
frolicsome boys will make in'whole cloth. It
is in my opinion by far the most valuable of
any I have tried. '— Mrs. Henry Ward
Bcecker,
* * "The Grover A Baker Sewing Ma
chine has rendered iu every respect the most {
perfect satisfaction. It combines so many .
advantages with beauty of execution and !
economy in price that it is a necessity in ev- j
ery household. " — Mrs. Governor Geary, Hat - j
risburgh, Pa.
* * "I have had the Grover A Baker
Machine for ten or twelve years in constant i
use in my house. I have seen and known I
every kind ot family sewing, both personal j
and household, accomplished upon the Gro- 1
ver A Baker Machine to the entire satisfac- I
tion of all who were concerned. '—Per. Ste- !
phen It. Tyng.

will wear as long as the garments do—out
wear the garment, in fact. The stitch will
not break on bias seams, when stretched, as j
others do; and neither does it draw the work." '

that the fingers can do. Ft is preferred over
all others on account of its durability of work,
elasticity and strength of stitch, ease of move

fort in a family than a Grover A Baker Sew
ing Machine. I have used one for the last
nine or ten years, and I think it is demdtdlv
the best family Sewing Machine."— Mrs.Alice

aminine and using other varieties of machines;

CHERRY PECTORAL,
For Intrants af ike Throat and Lungs. tueh is
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, It ran -
chilis, Atthma, and Consumption.
Frobobly never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through a long scries of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and high
er in their estimation, as it has become berer
known. Its uniform character and power to cure
the various affections of the lungs and throat,
have made it known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to miider forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most effectual remedy that can be given for inci
pient c-.nsumption. and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lutigs. Asa provision against
sadden attacks of Croup, it should be kept an
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to coi-is and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mas
tery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat,
that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When
nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry
Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pr lec
tion from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it-
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Chetry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of then here, or do
more than assure the public that its qualities are,
fully maintained.
AYER'S AGUE CURE.
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill
Fewer, Hemittent Fever, Itumh Ague, Period,
teal or Bilious Fever, dc-, and indeed
all the rrffeetions trhieh arise from
malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As it name implies, it does CURE, anddoesaot
faiL Containing neither Arsenic, yuinine. Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in nowise injures any pa
tient The number and importance of its cures
in the ague districts, are literally beyond account,
and we believe without a parallel in the history
of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the
acknowledgments We receive cf the radical cures
effected in obstinate eases, and where other reme
dies had wholly failed.
Unacciimated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the Agne Care daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of
the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many trulv re
markable cures, where other medicines had failed.
