Thero was a pretenso raado by tho
supporters of .Tames G. Blaitio in tho
last Presidential camnatan that his
election was neccssaryfor tlio sako of
a more viijorqus foreign policy. Now
that tho Democrats aro adopting meas
ures for tho establishment of an t'fli-
ciont navy that will euablo tho United
States to pursue a vigorous course on
foreign questions, somo of tho Repub
lic ui organs aro afraid that n recoil
struction of tlio navy "is calculated to
sap tho foundations of national prosper
ity." It is evident that tlio Blalno
politicians intended to bo vigorous
only with their mcutlis in dealing with
foreign nations. ICx.
At tho coming annual meeting of
tho State Board of Agricult ure, to bo
held at Harrisburg Jan. 27 and 28
next, it is proposed to make tho quest
ion of Fences, Fcucing and Fence
Laws tho leading topio for consider
ation and discussion. Tho committee
on legislation will probably be prepar
ed to proposo a number ot changes m
tho preseut fence laws of our Btatc.
In order that thoso proposed changes
may go before tho legislature, next,
winter, in proper shape, it is specially
requested that all Agricultural organ
izations, farm clubs, granges, Ao., will
elect and send regularly accredited
delegates who will bo prepared to pro-
sent tho wishes of thoso whom they
may represent, upon all of the import
ant changes proposed. Tho topio of
Jences ana jencing will be presented
by essays and will probably bo discuss
ed in all of its bearings. Special rates
of transportation and special rates of
board will bo obtained for all delegates,
upon tho same terms as members of
tho Board. '
Tho two hundredth anniversary ot
tlio introductior of printing
into tho miildi. cokings ot .North
America v1hrated last week. In
a lecture delivered bv Hev Dr.
Boardiuan in Philadelphia tho speak
er . dired to jlio power ot the press
in these words:
The great educator and intluoncer of
tho American people is tho American
nowspapor the perennial and ubiqui-
tius newspaper. To-nay there aro
many thousands of newspapers in tho
UuiMl States s in 1C85 there wero hn
two little periodicals. Tho newspaper
is tho censor of America, wielding far
greater power than tho most famous
human conquerors and dictators of
whioh history tells. It is our piido
that wo have so many great editors,
men who aro bravo enough to censuro
the wrongdoer and who aro quick to
praiso deserving merit. Thoy exer
ciso their great authority for building
up and not for casting down. But
thoy aro not all faithful to their
high trust. Thero is too much of oiler
ingto morbid tastes ; too much intrus
ion into tho privacy of the family ; too
much printed to tickle the diseased
palate of the scandal-lover. There is
too much news that is not news, and
if it is new it had better never have
become news. It is said, 'tho people
demand it.' It is tho duty of the
editor to marshal tho people, not to
follow them. If this sort of news
must be printed, let tho scandal col
umn bear this label at the head : 'Bo
ware I Deadly Poison I' Journalism
moulds public opinion and when the
pres3 shall stand up always for tho
rigHt, then will tho newspapers bo the
bright harbingers of the millennium."
Tho truth of this is shown by tho largo
circulation of so-called Sunday news
papers, manv of which are filled with
sensational matter unfit for tho public
eye.
WIPE BEATERS.
Stato Senator Adams, whoso bill to
punish wife-beaters by the lash excited
so mncb discussion in tho last session
of the Legislature, is preparing a
paper upon "Wife-beating as a Crime
and Its Relation to Taxation," which
tho Social Scionce Association has in
vited him to read. It may not occur
at onco to ono who has not studied tho
subject that thero is any relation what
ever between taxation and wifobeatingj
but in reality tho fact that there is
such a relation, and that the bruto who
beats his wife (in nino cases out of
ten) escapes imprisonment becauso
such punishment would send his family
to tho almshonse.constilutes the stiong
est argument in favor of importing tho
whipping-post from Delaware. Sena
tor Adams ought to be popular among
bis lady constituents-as much for his
bravo humanitarianism in tho face of
ridicule as bo is for his social graces.
In preparing his paper ho is accumu
lating a vast amount of information
upon tho subject, and ho has just sent
a circular to every district attorney in
the State asking them to tell him (in
each county) how many complaints
wero mado and truo bills found during
tno last year lor wile-beating; liow
many convictions wero obtained and
what was tho uverago sentence; the
nationality of the condemned! whether
the oiimo U on tho increase; what, pro
portion of tho families of tho condemn
ed became a char o upon tho entity
and whether the condemned were under
the influence of liquor at tho time of
commuting tno crime. jx.
District Attorney Billmeycr has ro
ceived ono of tho circulars referred to.
lie can report to Senator Adams that
so far as Columbia county is concerned
no whipping post is needed. Tlio
prosecution of wife-beaters is a thing
of so seldom occurrence hero that the
conclusion is either that mon of this
county aro tho kind that appreciate
their wives, and never laiso a hand in
uuger at them, or else that they liavo
their wives so completely under their
control that thoy dare not tell when
they aro beaten. Wo believo tho for
mer to bo tho case, becauso such things
cannot bo kept quiet if they occur.
'J'hey will bo noised abroad over the
neighbor hood, and become common
talk. Senator Adams it a bachelor,
and of coureo has to depend on extran
eous ovidenco to show tho necessity of
a whipping post for unkind husbands.
Ho is also a republican, and lives in
tlio strong republican city of Philadel
phia where wife beating may bo a
common thing, but ho can get no ns
mstnnco from a sturdy democratic '
county like Columbia in his effort to.
fjjtahlieli a relio of tho barbarous ages. I
Vanderbilt's Will.
Tho will of tho lato William II.
Vanderbilt was probated last Satur
day, llo leaves 8',000'000 to each
of his oicht children, besides a resi
dence to each ono. $1,000,000 U dls
tributcd among different charities a
number of annuities of suuuu to ifauuu
a vearlo numerous poor relallvis, and
tlio balance of his estate, about one
half of it, is divided between his sons
Cornelius and William II. who will
oontinuo to control tho Vanderbilt
railroad. Cornelius J. is about 40
years of age. Ho received a good
academic education and had some
banking experience, after which ho
was assistant treasurer and treasurer of
tho Now York nnd Harlem for ten or
twolvo years.
On tho death of his grandfather,
when his father assumed the prcsl
denoy of tho Vanderbilt roads, Cor
nelius was mado first vicoqircsidcnt
of tho Now Yoik Central, and took
charge of tho finances, whilo his bi oth
er W. K. was mado second vlco presi
dent, and given chargo of tho trallio
business. When William II. Vnnder
bilt retired, three years ago, and de
volved tho activo management uiion
his tlireo sons, ho constituted Cornelius
chairman of tho Board of Directors of
the Central and Michigan Hoads. Be
sides his official duties in connection
with tho railroads of tho Vanderbilt
system. Cornelius is a, vico president
of tho Young Melt's Christian Associa
tion of Now York City, a member of
tlio Board ot tho International Young
Men's Christian Association, ono of
tho trustees of tho American IJiblo So
ciety, treasurer of tho Protestant Epis
copal Domestic Missions, a trustee of
St. Luke's Hospital, trustcu of tlio
Asylum fortholiuptured and Crippled,
and of tho Protestant Episcopal lheo
logical Seminary, chairman of tho rail
road branch of tho Young Men's
Christian Association, and connected
in an official capacity with a number
of other charitable and religious or
ganizations. Ho is a regular attend
ant at St Bartholomew's Protestant
Episcopal Church, in tho affairs of
which he takes a deep interest.
W. K. Vnnderbilt, the next son, is
fond of horses, although not so much
so as bis father or the late Comnu .1 re,
and he indulges in yachting nt times.
As a man ho is less popular with his
fellows and associates than any of his
brothers. IIu is of a somewhat morose
temperament, but his wifo thoroughly
understands him, and he is greatly tie
'Tndcnt upon her strong character and
will power. Ho is not a clu man,
and, as a rule, now leads a oumpara
tivfly quiet life. He is something of
an epicure and always h.n a good
table In business ho makes up his
mind to a dsfi'iit'i lino of action very
quickly, but ab ,j ugh ho has murh of
th't Vanderbilt obstinacy, ho is, at
times, easily influenced, nud r '"
greatly upon tho judgment of ,i f ,
trusted friemK iilr and Jurs. V '.
dtrbilt hao three children, tho eldest
about 9 years old.
Frederick W. Vanderbilt is now
about 27 years old, is of medium
hi'ight, somewhat spare figure, with
slightly reddish hair ami small mous
lnoli'j, and a rather sallow complexion.
He is not a socinty man ; he finds his
pleasure in out-doiir sport'. Passion
ately dovotcd to yachting, ho spends
most of his timo m tin Summer on
board his fino sloop, tho Vidette, which
ho purchased about, eighteen months
ago. He is in many ways tbo most
popular of tho sons, nnd all the em
ployees around tho Grand Central
know and like "Mr. fred.1' Ho is
very popular also among tho men ho
knows well, and is considered a thor
oughly good fellow, entirely devoid of
any snobbishness or pretense. As a
business man ho has a high reputation,
und, indeed, thero are many who kuow
tho family who do not hesitate to say
that ho has more financial ability than
any of his biolhets. Ho is fond of
taking a "flyer" in tho street now and
then but never speculates rashly or
wildly. He has a cheery, pleasant
manner, which of itself wins friends,
and his wifo is also much liked. Sho
was formerly Miss Anthony ; married
first Mr. Torrence, a cousin of Mr.
Vanderbilt, and, becoming divorced,
married her present husband. This
was about five years ago, and the mar
riage, which was very sutMen and per
formed without consultation of his
parents, angered W. II. Vanderbilt ex
cessively. Tho young couple lived for
somo timo in an apartment house at
Park Avenue and Fortieth Street, and
then, tho senior Vanderbilt having re
lented, woro installed in tho handsome
house formerly occupied by himself at
Fifth Avenuo and Fortieth Street.
Mrs. F. W. Vanderbilt, meanwhile,
became very much liked by her hus
baud's family, and tho relations be
tween herself and her formerly irate
father-in-law grew to be most cordial.
Site entertained considerably last wint
er, giving a series of handsomo recept
ions, but her husband's aversion to tho
gay world keeps her to somo extent
out of society.
Mr. Vadderbilt spends most of his
day at the Grand Central Depot, where
he looks after the interest of tho
Nickel-plate Road.
Georgo Vanderbilt, the youngest
son, about 23 years old, is under size,
of very frail physique, thin and pale.
He is the student of tho family, and
spends almost all his timet among his
books. Of these he has a largo and
complolo library next to his suit of
apartments on Iho second floor of hu
Fifth Avenuo ii.ansion. He delights
in delving among musty comers in
old second-hand bookshops, and is said
to bo a very clever hand at a bargain,
and to bo able to baggie over tho price
of a desired volume like any old book
worm. He dislikes society, and it is
with very much dilliculty that bo can
bo induced to go cut at all. Hi is
very fond of musio and is frequently
to be seen at the opera. Tho child of
his old age, ho has always been ono of
his father's favorites and was his con
stant companion, entering into all his
plans and sharing all his hopes and
fears. Ho has evinced much literary
promise, and it is understood that his
father had very ambitious views for
him in this respect. He has always
taken tho deepest interest in his fath
er's plans regarding his Staten Island
property and had really chargo of tho
arrangements and building of tho
mausoleum at Now Dorp. IIo is not
a closo man nnd does much good in
distributing largo amounts in charity
while ho watches carefully the inter
ests of any poor relatives nnd sees that
they aro remembered nt Christmas and
othei seasons. As may be imagined,
Georgo Vanderbilt is also a favorite
with his brothers and sisters.

Tho Oox Murdor Trial.
Tho trial of John T. Cov, tho pro
prietor of tho Palmor Houso at .Nor
thumberland, for tlio killing of Milo
Jump began last week Thursday nt
Sunbury. When tho court house boll
rang Cox took his soat at tlio tablo
usually cojuplcd by counsel for the
defense; ho was soon joined by his
nttornoys Hon. S. P. Wolvotton, Hon.
A. II. Dill, Hon. Charles S. Wolfe,
J. 11. Vincent, Hill nnd son, nnd D.
W. Oox, Esq., his brother. At tho
tablo for tlio commonwealth was seat
ed P. A. Mahan, district attorney,
Lewis Dowart. Esq., and Hon. Georgo
W. Ziegler, of Snnbnry, and Con.
Smith, Esq., of Scranton, who has tho
reputation of being one of tho ablest
criminal lawyers, In tho slate.
Sovcral hours wero occupied in the
selection of a Jury.
During the selection of tho jury Cox
was joined by his wife, accompanied
by a lady friend, as well as by his
father, Charles Co,v, a bo'.cl keeper
residing at Mifllinburg, Union county.
He was recognized by many friends
and associates at tho adjournment of
couit, who pressed forward to tho bar
and warmly grasped his hand and
mado many expressions of a kind
nature. At tho tablo occupied by the
attorneys for the commonwoilth sat a
handsomo young woman of petlups
thirty years; neatly dressed in black,
tenderly caring for a littlo golden
haired child of perhaps twenty months
of age. Many oyes of sympathy wero
turned towards her, as it was told
from ono to an other through tho vast
audience, that thoy were tho wilo and
child of tho iinf ito i ' Milo Jump,
who was the vioiim it C x's revolver.
District Attorney Mahan mado tiie
opening address to tho jury. It was
a strontr effort, foretelling in a clear
unmistakable manner the lino about
to be pursued by tho commonwealth,
oonoludinir by telling the jury that
thoy would produce facts that would
warrant them in finding tho prisioner
guilty in manner and form as he btood
indicted.
Tho first witness called was Mr.
Lizzie Jump, thn widow, who ascended
the stand bearing tho little child in
her arm. Sho testified that she was
tho w fe f Jump; that sho saw him
last in lifu somo lime in May last, and
that the next time was after his death
in Juno. She said tho child in her
arms was Jump's. There was no cross
examin ation.
Tho next witness was E. C. Clicsney,
a young man about 28 years of age,
who resides in Northumberland and
who accompanied .Tump n'i the Pal
mer Hnue Cox hot'' a Northum
berland on the 2.jth ot Juno list, the
night of the shooting. Wli'ii himself
and three companions Jump included
approached tho bar, one of thm
asked for drink"; tho bartender refusd
Jnmp; Jump turned to leave the room,
when Cnx entered tho room and ex
claimed. "See here, von , did I
not tell you to stay o it of mv lions
you?" When Jump started for
tho dior Cox took him by the shoulder
and turned him around, put his hand
in his hip pocket, pulled his revolver
and shot him.
Tho first witness called on. Friday
was L. II. Bingham who testified sub
stantially, that on the night of Juno
25th last he stopped at tho Palmer
House in .Northumberland, tho senile
of tho murder, arriving thero about
9:45 p. in When he arrived the band
was on the street playing. He went
into tho wash-room to wash, when ho
heard an altercation, apparently be
tween persons in tho bar-room. IIo
beard somo one, whom ho presumed
was Cox, say, "Got out of my house.
I have told you often enough to stay
out of here."' Perhaps a moment
later ho heard the report of a pistol.
Ho at onco rushed from tho wash-room
and met Mr. Cox in tlio reading-room.
On asking Cox tlio cause of the dis
turbance, Cox said, "that fellow has
robbed me, and I have forbid his coming
into my house. He catuo in hero to
night, and I went to put him out, and
he raised his fist to strike, and I shot
him." Mr. Bingham is a conductor on
tlio railroad, and his testimony was
given with an 'air of frankness. IIo
being a stranger ho know nothing
further of tho particulars or their
caue.
Tho next witness called was T. J.
Fisher, who was in company with
Jump on tho night of tho murder. Ho
told how he, Mr. Chesnoy, Burg and
Jump wont into the Palmer House on
the 25th of Juno and Bright, tho bar
tender, refused to sell anything to
drink to Jump, who had asked for
soda. That whilo standing there Cox,
tlio proprietor, camo in and ordered
Jump out, using tho same language as
repeated by tho former witness. That
Jump started to go out and Cox put
his hand on Jump's shoulder and tried
to push him out of the screen door.
As he got Jump nt tho door after giv
ing him a shovo nnd turning him
around, Cox drew from his hip-pocket
a revolver and shot him.
After Mr Fishor's testimony tho
Commonwealth called a largo number
of witnesses, who testified substan
tially tho same. That Mr. T. J. Cox,
tho defendant, shot Mr. Milo Jump
was proved beyond a shadow of a
doubt. All testified that they either
saw Cox shoot or heard tho report of
tho pistol and saw him immediately
afterwards. Tho pistol and tho bullet
found in the lung of Milo Jump wero
in evidence, as wero also tho clothes
worn at the timo of tho murder. When
tho clothes wero exhibited, Jump's
widow, who, with her littlo babe, sat
along sido of tho District Attorney,
wept bittorly, her littlo babo laughing
in her arms at what seemed to it an
uncalled for proceeding.
A number of witnesses wero oxunin
od on Saturday and their testimony was
crrnborativo of thoso previously heard.
Without doveloping any further par
ticulars the prosecution restod, and
oounsel for Cox opened for tho do
fense, Mr. Cox's family physician was the
first witness called for'the defense. He
stated that Cox had been suffering for
some years from norvous debility, in
duced by wounds received in tho army.
That circumstances which in ordinary
mon would indnco fear would in Cox
resnlt in actual terror.
Thomas Mo.Mahon testified to hav
ing been in the Palmer Houso ou tho
15th of April last, and hearing a quar
rel between Cox and Jump about somo
whiskey which tlio former neoused tho
latter of stealing. There was n seufllo
in which Jump choked Cox who called
on his bartender to assist him.
Tlio defense then called 57 witness
es, representing nil professions, who
had known Cox for a number of years,
and they all testified as to his good
reputation for peace and quietness.
J. K Bright, tho bartender at tho
Palmer Hot-so at tho timo of the shoot
ing, testified : I have been in the em
ploy of John T. Cox since April 18th,
1881. On tho evening of tho 25th of
Juno threo men, Messrs. Burg, Clies
noy and Fisher, camo into tho house.
I was standing at tho window near
tho cigar-stand. They went in tho
bar-room nnd met Milo Jump who wa9
standing there. I spoko to them and
went behind tho bar. Whilo at tho
water cooler Mr. Cox camo in and see
ing Jump said, "havo 1 not forbid you
entering my houso,'' nnd then motion
ing with his hands ordered Jump out.
I was busy at the time and did not
sco tlio exact, movements until thoy
reached tho door, when I saw Cox put
his loft baud on Jump's right -shoulder
and push him out of tho door. When
Jump reached tho porch ho turned nud
cunts back again, putting his foot
upon tho step. Mr. Cox stepped back
a step or so from tho door and put his
hand to his left hip pookct. Then 1
seen a flash and heard a report, and
Jump stepped back. As ho did so ho
put his hand to his stomach I did
diil not poo Jump again, but Cox camq
in and, walking up to tho bar, said to
me, "Jiminie, did you sco that man
strike nt tno V I replied that I did
not sec him. When Jump put his
foot on tho door step I could sto that
ho had his arms readied as though
about to grab Mr. Cox. When Jump
was at the bar hn asked for whiskey,
and I refused to give it to him. Mr.
Bniiht 'hen corroborated tho testimony
of Mr. MoMahon as to tho prior alter
cation in April last, detailing it in full.
Fpon cros-cxamlnation ho varied but
littli. Joseph Evoihard corroborated
Bright's testimony as to tho shooting.
A number of witnesses testified
to threats mado by Jump against Cox,
which wero cominunicatod to tho latter.
Tho defendant was sworn in his
own behalf, and said in substance: I
will bo 39 years old In January next.
I served in tho army in tlio 51st Penn
sylvania Regiment under General Hart
ranft, and was wounded in both knees
in thn Bittlo of tho Wilderness, in
Miy, ISCf. My general health since
then has beenbad,8tifreritigpatticulat!y
from nervous disorders. I went to
Northumberland to live tho last timo
in April, 1881. At that timo I had
in my employ as porter Milo Jump.
Some timo ptior to tho 15th of April
I frequently seen Jump under the in
fluence of liquor. I remonstrated with
him seven! times in leferrncn to it, nnd
told him ho must quit it. On sev
eral Sundays I found that the bar
room door had been in somo way
forced open. I suspicioned Jump.
On tlio morning of the 15th of April I
camo down stairs and Been that Jump
was again under the influence of liquor.
I then w -it to his room to see if I
could find my wlinkpy. I found tbpre
in tho les of an old boot a pint bottle.
After that I went to tho coal house.
Thero I found on a box n cup half
filled with water, and in tho box three
bireh-beer bottles. Ono was full of
whiskey, nnV partly fu'l. and tlio other
empty. Thero were alf- two bottles
of beer thorp. I tonk tho bottles and
vi'tit up stairs. When I entered the
room I seen .lump standing in tho
wash-room I thou said: "Jump hero is
some mnro ovHenoe of your rasoalitv.
Now come into th'j oflb-p and I will
pav you off.'' IIo replied thoy were
not mv bottles nor my whiskey. I
said:"They are my bottles. I had
bfr in them, and you stole them.'' He
then crabbed mo by tho throat and
choked mo.
IIo thon recounted the occurrenc
es of Juno 25th when tho shooting
took place, and claimed that as Jump
not to tho door hn struck at tho defen
dant nnd said. "I'll fix you." Cox
drow his revolver and it went off.
When ho found that Jump was dead
ho gave hitmelf up to the sheriff. Tho
jury went out on Wednesday.
B. Grintz Brawn De.id.
B.,Grantz Browo died on the 13th at
St. Louis. He was tho son of John
Urown, tho first member of Congress
from tho Mississippi Valley and the
last survivor of tho Continental Con
gress. Born at Frankfort, Ky., May
28, 1820, ho began practicing law at
St. Louis, where, in 1851, ho founded
tho Missouri Democrat. As a Re
publican ho threw himself vigorously
into tho conflict when tho war broke
out, and was instrumental in thwarting
tho movement to take the stato out
of tbo Union. IIo raised a regiment
for service in tho army and commanded
a brigado of militia against a rebel in
vasion of Missouri. When W. P.
Johnson was expelled from tho United
States Senate ho was elected in his
placo and served from 1803 to 1807,
and in 1871 was elected governor of
Missouri.
IIo loft the Republican party the
next year and was mado a candidate
for vice-president on the Democratic
tickot headed by Horace Grcely. Tho
unmerciful caricatures of him "in that
campaign wero one of its prominent
features. IIo was accused of attempt
ing to butter his watermelon at a
public dinner at Jefferson City, nud
pitilessly ridiculed. After Greeloy's
death ho received eighteen votes for
president. Since that time he had
lived in retirement.
Trade and Business.
Tho flood of holiday business has
already begun to affect the estimates.
ot general trade, and for three weeks
to como it will not bo easy to disen
tangle, tho currents of business ; but
such signs as have appealed during
the week . save thoso relating to rail
roads aie distinctly favorable and
point to a steady maintenance of tho
volume of tra'do which for three
months past has revived so many
drooping industries.
In iron the most hopeful circum
stances apparent in many long mouths
id me iiiciuubu in uiu prouuciiou oi an
thracito pig iron, the weekly output
having risen 30 per cent in threo
months, passing from 'JU.tfla ioiib
weekly October 1, to 20,810 tons Dec
ember 1. Comi r nfter threo years in
which tho production of anthrucito pig
as shrunk ouo-half, this change is tho
most cheering sign for Eastern Penn-
silyania in many a weary day. Tho
steel rail mills hayo found it safo to in
crease their production, and tho pros
pects for railroad construction in tho
West steadily improve. Tho other
metals, like finished iron, show littlo
relative advance, tho least promisiug
fact in tlio present situation.
Manufacturing in general show tho
continuous demand which has been tho
marked characteristic of Iho Fall
trado, unaccompanied by an advance
in price. Wool, cotton and leather,
from raw material through to the finish
ed product, all show this ufter n fash
ion, which (hows how much tho pur
chasing power of wages has been in
creased by cheap food, and food re
mains cheap, having declined in tho
main through the past week. Tlio
ono dark spot is in railroad earnings,
Theso show lean. Exports nro also
small. On the contrary, tho Now
Yoik bank statement shows an expan
sion ot busiiieiw,in tlio main healthy.

It is an established act that Hood's Sir

In many severo cases of rheumatism, effect
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
In correcting the acidity of tbo blood, which
Is the causo of tho disease, and purifying
and enriching tho vital fluid.
is certainly fair to assume that what
Hood's Sarsaparllla lias done for others It
will ds for you. Therefore, if you sutler
tho pains and aches ot rheumatism, give
this potent remedy a fair trial.
A Positlvo Core.
"I was troubled very much with rheuma
tism In my hips, ankles, and wrists. I
could hardly walk, and was confined to my
bed a good deal of tho time. Being rec
ommended to try Hood's SarsaparUla, I
took four bottles and am perfectly well.
I cheerfully recommend Hood's Sarsaparllla
as one ot tho best blood purifiers In the
world." W. F. 'Wood, Bloomlngton, 111.
For Twenty Years
I have been afflicted with rheumatism. Before
lew I found no relief, but grew worte. I then
began taking Hood's Sarsaparllla, and It did
mo more good than all tho other medicine I
ever had." II. T. Balcom, Shirley, Mass.
"I suflcrcd from what tbo doctors called
muscular rheumatism. I took Hood's Sar
saparllla and am entirely cured." J. V. A.
