COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA Danoing at Eighty-Five. The island of Nantucket is oil tho track of tlio modorn world. Tho peoplo and thoir customs aro very un liko thoso In any other part of tho world tho "off-island part," as tho NnnluokotetH are wont to call it. Old faxhinncd customs and habita prevail. They know but llltlo about the new-fangled manners and methods of modern soolal life. They follow tho beaten paths of a contury ago, livo simple, thrifty, laborious lives, and furnish little business for tho doctors. They thrivo financially and physi cally. A visitor at an evening gathering on tho inland, not long sttio tells how ono lady, aged ninety-one', presided at tho piano, and nnother, aged eighty fivo, dnnot-d. ''And you may tako my word for it," adds tho visitor, "that tbo danoing win suro-enongh dunciug, if ono might judgo from tho lady's snapping t-yes, nervous speech and de 'chlve char.ictor." Locality and olimato would seem to have c.imimratlvely littlt effect on health and longevity if people lived simply, a nature dictatec, and when ailing built up with nature's simplo re medies, liku Warner's Log Cabin Sar eaparilla, instead of pulling down the Bysteni by using poisonous mineral drugs. Peoplo who hasten to tbo physician every time they have tho bradacho, or experience any of tho minor ovidenses of nature's suro revolt against disobe dienco of her laws, will not bo found danoing at eighty-five. Tho mineral poisons of tho apothecary lead to early physical decay. The long-lived, rugged Kantuoketers who enjoy life's ploasures when octo genarians, illustrate what tho "oil-is-land'' portion of tho world may experi ence if thoy livo by naturo's law and 080 old fashioned log-cabin -remedies ot roots and herbs for the ordinary ills that flesh is heir to. In Gut's (London) IIopitai reports, vol. 1, page 39G, is found tho state ment: "Simple hypertrophy (enlarge ment) of tho heart, tspeeially of the lett ventricle, is found without valvu lar incompetency. In this numerous class the cardiao is secondary (a synip- ton to the renal auootion. This ex plains why Warner's Safo Cure is ef fectual in cases of htart disease. It removes from the blood tho kidnoy acid which causes the heart disease. ' Editors Coi.umman: Dbah Sirs: I read all that is said in your columns, pro and con, on pro hibition, and am really surprised to hear tho arguments brought up to iirovo that the "Hum Trafllo'' is a God's blessing to tho human raccj and from men who profess to bo Christians. I saw an article in your icsuo of March 29, Bigned by: A. J. Dorr. He said: "Paul the great apoHlo of tho gen tiles said: "Woo is mo if I preach not. tho gospol." Ho said that 1'iul did not say: Woo is mo if I preach not Prohibition. This good brother did not toll his readers that tcmpcranco was n part of God's divmo law. Please read tho 21 Chapter and 25 verses of the Ants of that Treat anoslb Paul, where ho reasoned of "righteous ness, tcmperanoe nwi judgment to come. And l'elix trembled and ni Bwered: Go thy way for this time. wlvn I hato a convenient season I will oill for tbeo Thoso men who deal out this lawful damnation t their fellow. men feel, me thinks, like F.llx d'd. They f.ol that tho denunciations of Uo'ls word i against them; they hear it in IIs tliun d rs. but heed it not. Thoy say: "it is taking away our personal liberty." "Hasn't every man a right to do as he ploasesT'' I say nol emphatically nol Ho lias a right to do as he phuees ai long as he docs not in torfrre with the rights of others. Has a man a right to go to a saloon and spend all his bard earnings; then go home to his starving family; drunk, perfectly crazy kick and cuff his wife, and in many instances kill them. Ohl liberty, how thou art misconstrued all for worldly gain, I caino near calling it worldly honor, but that would be giv ing it a nickname. If tho readers of this paper will but cousider tho Lord's prayer where be said: "Thy will be done on earth as it is dnno in heaven," that will settle all disputes io regard to liceneo. If His will is to bo dono on earth ns in heaven, I would not suppose that any man would undertako to prove that there will be licensed house-tin heaven May God help tho people to rightly consider the issue that is now before us.

Dear Sirs: I would liko witli yonr permission to Btatu a few facts cono-rn-mg the Prohibitory Amendment, and in the first place let mu say that this is going to be a great struggle between right and wrong. A etrugglo between the saloon and borne. A struggle be tween all the miserable and deluded people who aro being led on by the cry of taxes, personal liberty eta, and the people that aro actuated by tho ory of tho drunkard's wife nnd children, who are made wretched and sad by tho li censing of tho accursed Liquor Traffo. And they are prajing and pleading for us to arise and brea'c the shackles that are dragging their husbands and sous down to a drunkard's urave and a driinkarii'x bell, for the Biblo tolls us that tin drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Yt-t in the face of all tliesa facts thero is now and the'i a man who pretends to bo a professor of Christianity, that will rise and say that the Liquor Trafllo is right and will try to provo his dooiririe by th word of Gnu. Th Bible does say be ye mo'leraie or temperate in all things and thi- man true to raako it appear th it t'i he temperate a man rou't drink a little, but ho must remember that all thintra do not relato meiely to drinking. Then taking for granted that the gentleman's doctrine is true, wo oi course will be oompelled to apply it to all tho vices ot this world. lobe tern perate in all things, according to his doetnne a man must drink a litil swear a little , lie a llltlo, steal a littl oto. Did anyone ever hear of a man trying to teaeli bis cblldren to be tern perate in all things and tell them that moans to steal, lie, cheat, swar, and drink, just a little! Some people olHiui that wo aro not ior personal libem and that wo are trying to tako their personal lib-rtv from them. Friends you are mistaken, wo are for personal lib rty, but we are not so selfish as to want personal liberty for one, to tho destrnction of thousands. But what is personal liberty? It gives the man who sells liquor th liberty to make tartb, hell, to blot out nope ot Ueaven, to make Hie iiora dav a drunken revelry, to turn church cs into dramshops, to make brutes of men formed in God's image, to raak paupers, to starve, and clotho children in rasa, to make our sons drur kardsolo. This is tho personal liberty of the whole rum fraternity. Ai d don'l- let us get scared about the increase of taxation. As long as we are compelled to pay out fourteen dollars to take care of the one that tin liquor dealers pay in, and besides that it is the chief cause of crime, pauper ism and taxation. Tho Liquor Traffic causes the building of j 1, workhoueo, insane asylums, poor houses and peni tonttanes. Prohibition causes the building of school houses, (Jhurches, Uoiieges, anil Seminaries. Which will you vote forT The L quor Traffic is mating paupers and criminals, and tbo temperance peoplo are compelled to pay enormous taxes to take care ot tnom. In 1873 wo bad local option in thi state. During that time of one year thero was closed up over one hundred and twonty breweries and d.stilleries anil If that law had not been repealed there would be but fow people in tho liq ior business in Pennsylvania to day, IS'il tho liquor men saw that Pro liibi'ion did prohibit and they spent thousand of dollars to have it repealed and thiv will spend millions of dollars at this 'imi to prevent tho adoption of the Am -n ImHnt, knowing by the past lint when a law is enforced it does pronlldt. Then in conolu-iou let me sav tlm in tho - existence of the fore going fact 8, let us each arid overy one of us arise, in tho dignity of our man bond ami in tho strength of our God, nay to tho people of Pennsylvania by our votes on th 18i.ii of Jun noxt that tho L'quor Tiaflio shsll b no more.

My throat began to get sore, and my body covered with sort and ulcers. Going from bad to worse, I felt that my grave must be reached In tha near future, I gave np the doctors' treat ment, and with a despairing hope I com menced taldng your medicine. I began to improve from the first bottle, and in a short time the ulcers healed, and my sldn cleared S and was entirely well. One year ago a case of catarrh developed In my system. The physician did his best, but could not cure me ; but two bottles ot Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief. J. H. RointsoN. Kaotman, Tx.. Tune 13, 1888.
