Pennsylvania's Day at tbe Centen nial Exhibition. Tie Exhibition of Ahatuzru 2300 Year Ago Ao Cars Then ; Camels, Asses and Dromedaries Who Man aged the Lines cf Travel Submit led to Scott and Gowen for Investigation JSfloat in the City for a Room A Panic in Railroad Stock The Crowd, and Juniata People Met Bonsall The Illumination of the Centennial Exhibition Giounds. All of the original thirteen States or provinces that signed tbe Declaration of Independence one hundred years ago, have held a State Jubilee on the Centennial grounds at Philadelphia, or those of that number that have not done bo, will do o before tbe Exhibi tions; cloaca. Last Tbnrsdaj was Pennsylvania's day, and of all tbe dajs at the Exhibi tion, that has been tbe greatest. The multitude assembled exceeded by far that of any multitude ever assembled for a civil purpose on this continent. More than two hundred and fi.'ty thou sand people passed through the gates to bonor the occasion. Modern times have witnessed no such an outpouring of the fenple. What ancient times witnessed no one knoweth, but amidst all of the wonderful developments of egotism of this day and genTatieiu, no one is found to declare that olden limes did not equal tbe Exhibition at Philadelphia. Tbe fact is, that the more of the glimpses of the Ufa of tbe people of tbe past that a wan beeotne acquainted witb, the batter bo realizes that he knows little of their greatness. Indeed, if it were not for a scrap of Jewish bistcry, ia which it it told how s Jewish maiden Esther became tbe wife of a King of a great country, to-day we wjuld j not know that tweuty-three hundred 1 and ninety years ago, a great national or international exhibition was beld in the kiugdom of Abasuerus, King of tbe Medea and Persians. Just what was exhibited it not told. There being bat a glimmering outline of the event, tbe reader ia left to grope about amidst the uccertainty of conjecture relative thereto, fiat faint as tbe outline is, all are impressed to believe that it was an exhibition of great magnitude, aud splendor. One hundred and twenty- even States or Province exhibited, and the show lasted one bnodred and 'eighty daya, six months, tbe same time assigned to the O.nteonial Exhibition ( tbe Republic. . ; How many people were there will never be known, unless discovery, which woo Id have to bor der well nigh on to tbe miraculous, should earth a library of the Medea nd Persians, in which doubtless all would be foMod written, as tbey were a - people acquaint1 with letters and eare fnl ef record. Out of tbe exhibition of Abtsuerus grew m- great event, that of electing the Jewish. people to tbe same rights of other people who lived withiu the limits- of that kiogdom. To read of rWt exhibition, take the Bible and read tba first nine verses of tbe first chapter of tbe book of Esther. It is not known that in that day tbej did have locomotives, or means of convey ance by steam. All tbe records of that sge are silent about each mechanical appliaoee. Tbey were too common to talk abvut, or they did not have them. We are taught to believe tbat tbey did not even use wagons in those times. Tbe ass, elephacr, horse, camel and dromedary were the animals used for convex ance, at least so far as it known now. What a jolly ride think of it on an elephant, a camel, dromedary or aoas! '.V hat would onr seven bno dred Juniata people have thought ef going to tba Centennial Exhibition last week on such conveyances. It would have been a niee excursion earavan How would a quarter of a million of people get to or from the show in one day on such quadrupeds 1 Did the government twenty-three hundred years ago, manage the lines of travel and furnish tbe means of transportation, or were those things conducted by corporations, or did peo ple travel each on his own book ?" Scott and Gowen might, for the inform ation of poor people, employ a score or two of antiquarians, to examine how or by what means six hundred thousand men were transported three times every year to Jerusalem to participate in the three national feasts, the Feast of tba Passover, the Feast of Pentecost, and tbe Fea&t of Tabernacles. It would. however, be a juke on Scott and Gowen s antiquarians if their researches should reveal the fact tbat the majority of the people who went in such multitudes to feasts, traveled afoot, and a few of the richer ones employed tbe ass, camel, or dromedary as a means of conveyance, tbe principle of which in modern times has been rendered by an Irishman thus : "When yon'ra rich you ride in chaises, When you're poor you walk, by jabera.' About seven huudred Juniata county people were afloat in that ocean of humankind on Thursday. They had gone to the city on Tuesday, and were in time to secore comfort able quarters, which were not to easily obtainable by an eleventh bour arrival on Wednesday evening, as we found out, not to our sorrow, for we rather enjoyed the search for an accept able place to pass tbe night, than dis liked it. We'bad scarcely got into tbe city when we became conscious of tbe fact that on that day Third street bad been thrown into a state ef the wildest ex citement over the work of the bears on Reading Kailroad stock, which had de clined from 41 to 32. It was a couo latien, as we floated among a million of people for a place to suit us to lodge, that we were not quite as uncomforta ble as the operatois in stock who were afloat among millions of money, on rail road stock to bankruptcy. What a wonderful contrast would have present ed itself in action and appearance, if it bad been possible to place the tens of thousands of sight-seeing strangers in tbe eity that evening, alongside of the losing operators in railroad stock. Wishing to secure a quiet lodging place, we passed out seventh street, beyond Callowhil! street, to a place tbat bad been recommended ; but tbe place not suiting, we left to try a hotel. Application was made at tbe Colonade hotel for a room, but all bad been en gaged ; thence to tbe La Pierre, with the same result, with the difference that if e would room witb company a room could be assigned to our use. Tbe of fer was passed, and application in turn made at tbe St. Clond, St. Elmo, the Eagle, and the Merchants on Third street. Tbe obliging landlord of the latter hotel, in answer to our applica tion for a room, said that he could not furnish one in bis house, but be could assign ns to a loom in a bouse on Fourth street, if we would board at bis place. Tbe offer was quite acceptable, aod after partaking of a good supper we passed out in a comfortable frame of mind to call on James J. Schweyer, a member of the firm of Kneedler, Pat terson & Co., importers and jobbers of liriti.sb, trench sod American dry goods, doing business at No. 36 North third street. 31 r. :cbweyer returned ith us to tbe botel, when we ordered our valise, and asked to be shown to a room, indulging in tbe anticipation of a quiet hour or two in reading np tbe city papers before goiDg to bed. . An at tache of tho hotel couducted us to tbe lodging place on Fsurth street. A lady answered tbe bell call. The servant stated that we were from tbe ' Mer cbactsV' whereupon we were immedi ately conducted up three or four flight of stairs to a room that fronted on Fourth street. Everything appeared comfortable, aod yet there was a some thing about tbe place that did not har monize with tbe mood we were in. We thought of Itev. Peter Cart aright, who was once seeking lodgings in New York, and having reached a place that did not come up to his expectations, he said, before the servant went out, "Will you please show me down stairs ' We did not say quite as be did, but said, "Will yon please light me down stairs V We were shown down stairs, and walked over to tbe landlord. He would get us a good place on Callowhill street. A servant was sent witb as to tbe desig nated place, but alas ! a clerk of tbe lintel bad anticipated our arrival by sending enongh to fill np all the one bed rooms, aud thete was no room to give as that bad no company. lbe pressure was not baid enough yet to induce us to accept such conditions, and we again sought the landlord, wbo is one of the most accommodating men of bis class that it baa been our fortune to meet. Said be, " I'll give yon a ladies' parlor to sleep in." Tbe offer was agreeable, but at tbat bonr the parlor was full of the fair sex, end tbe probability was tbat they would be con tinually dropping in from theatres aod places of amusement till after midnight, and so tbe place was not occupied. The charge for rapper was moderate. Nod ding au adieu to the obliging landlord, we stepped out on to tbe pavement, without any regrets, for the experience in search of a room bad really grown to be a pleasure ; it was givi:ig as an in side eight of Philadelphia that we had never expected to see. On alighting from tbe train tbat took ns to tbe eity in the evening, a boy stepped to onr side and bended ns a card, faying 'board:ng." The card was dropped into a poekct of our overcoat, and not again thought of until we walked aouth- ward from tbe Merchants'. We drew it out and under the light of tbe first street lamp read it, thus: "Mrs. Dr. I. Morton, S. E. corner Twentieth and Pine streets." We said to oursetf " Is not this tbe Centennial year, and have not millions of people been afloat to honor the occasion, and ere not . these people opening their doors for the Cen tennial pilgrims! A pilgrim are we, and we will go to tbe N. E. corner of Twentieth and Pioe streets," which wa did by street ear. The bell-call was answered by a gentleman in appearance and in manner. Tbe card tbat the boy bad given as was banded hiuir He an swered, "Yes, sir, that is rrght. I am Dr.'Morton. " Step in, sir : have a seat, sir." We took the proffered seat, and asked the Doctor for a room to lodge in over night. ' Lie answered,. " I cannot give yon a room to yourself. I can pat yon in witb nice people. We are from Virginia, and have seen days when we never dreamed of resorting to keep ing boarders to make a living. We are poor enough now, though but enough of this. The people you will lodge witb are Southern gentleceo, sir." The bearing of the man wis agreeable. He was of a type of man not to be met with at every comer; but witb all that we concluded not to room with strange company there, and declined so to lodge. Tbe Doctor continued, " i think I can get you a room in this block, in tbe house of the proprietor, if you will go with me." Of courso we were ready We stepped out and around onto Twen tieth street the other entrance was from Pine street and entered a dark hall, and passed uo a flight of stairs to a room where tbe Doctor struck alight, and called the proprietor, to tell bita ; that he was about to lodge a stranger there. The place did nit suit, and we baJe tbe Doctor " Good night," and left, took a market street ear, stopped at the " Bingham," and unexpectedly got a place there to lodge, about 11 o'clock at night. After breakfasting there on Thurs day morning, we concluded to go to the Centennial grounds by way of the Read ing Railroad, for two reasons, First, we were told that it would be the speediest way of getting to tbe grounds, and, second, we would" sea bow the cor poration worked under the pressure tbat tbe bears brought on it on Wed nesday. A sea of people surrounded the depot, and seemed to be uncon scious of tbe troubles tbat quaked tbe stocks of a number of powrrtul corpo rations in this country, and were happy at tbat very bour, in scrambling for a ride to the Exhibition, while bulls aod bears were holding ccnsultation in pri vate offices to reconstruct their lines for future operations in railroad stock Tbe end is not yet, and no prediction is given as to what it may be. In due course of time we were landed at the Reading Railroad Memorial Hall en trance. On tbe railroad platform we met Porter Thompson, looking for his family. The next Juniata county man met was Mr. J. Lyons, on a settee in front of the facade of the Egyptian Temple in the Main Building. in sweet est contemplation of the oldest and the newest civilizations. After a while we met Mr. Wm. Sterrett and Mr. W. N. Sterrett in Machinery Hall, and shortly after Mr. Latimer Wilson and nephew. But of the Exhibition little was to be seen. Such a crowd! suob a human shuffle, tramp and roar, as though the louutaius of human-kind had been bro ken up, and were pouring iu peaceful torrents through the Centennial grounds aod building. Two hundred aud fi'ty thousand people in holiday attire, burg ing about within ao enclosure of two hundred and thirty acres, and fifty thousand more people moving around the three miles of fence tbat enclosed tbe grounds. Tbe impressions of the day would fill a book. About 4 o'clock in. the afternoon we met Mr. D. A. llarman, formerly of lbe common schools ef this place, but now connected with the Soldiers' Or phans' School at Chester Springs. At G o'clock we could scarcely be lieve tbe testimony of our eyes when we met Bonsall, of the Democrat and Reg iiter in tbe Centennial depot. It was tbe first time in bis life tbat he visited Philadelphia. Knowing that be had never been there, it was bard to believe that the first sight of him was not' an optical illusiou, conjured up by defec tive sight growing out of the severe exercise of tbe day. However, after shaking him by the hand and speaking to him it became appareut tbat no ap parition .personated bim, but that be was there, an incarnate person. Not far from the Globe Hotel attention was drawn to a crowd of people around an instrument that pointed sky-ward. It was an astrouomical instrument, through which an astronomer was endeavoring to get people to look at tbe wonders of the starry firmament. Tbe gentleman in charge had just delivered himself of a description of the appearance Saturn would makf tbat evening. . He bad been telling how tbe circles of tbat planet would be turned edgewise to tbe earth, when Bonsall, wbo bad been ao attentive listener, stepped up to him, and in the blandest manner said, 'Stran ger, is there danger of tbat gun going off suddenly, or bursting ?" . It was a regular Artemus Ward question, and tbe crowd saw it, and many beld their sides as if to keep them from splitting. The astronomer's first look at Bonsall was that of pity for so much ignorance-. but the second glance told that be 'un derstood the joke ; be smiled and pre served Lis gravity, and we walked away to see tbe fite works. They were grand, but the grandest s:gbt of all wes the illumination of tbe grounds. Torches, taper, and small fires of all colors and tints burned in different places throughout the grounds, and their different colors blended aod produced a light such as does not often fall to tbe lot or men to see. Calcium lights flashed from towers of Centen nial buildings, and intensified the gran deur of tbe scene A vast multitude was there, and the different tinted or colored lights made their faces appear as if every shade of complexion of peo ple of tbe earth bad assembled tbere as on the judgment day. Tbe light and beauty was tbere, almost as if in tbe Court of Heaven. Tbe smoke and smell was tbere, almost as if in a pit of purgatory, and a cough aod sneeze was tbere among the multitude, almost as if in a plaee of torment. . If the astronomer had been near at tba tme tbe smoke was thickest, be might have asked Bonsall if be intended to burst It was bard on tbe breathing depart ment of people, and at one time we thought it would be neeessary to take Bonsall down to the lake among the wans for water and better air. The illumination came to' an end, and tbe display of other fire works be gan on George's Hill. Along Machin ery 1111, opposite tbo Turkish Cafe, we met Mr. Aiken, of .Mifflin county. Tbe display on George's Hill came to an end. Tbe gates were opened. The people passed out, and Pennsylvania's Day was over. It was tbe largest eivil assembly knowa to men of tbe" age, numbering, those inside and outside, arouod the enclosure, fully three hun dred thousand people. Tbere was lit tle to see tbat day but the erowd. At midnight we met Capt. Degan at the Centennial Depot, awaiting a train, in which to return to Juniata. Editorial Notes on the. Political . Situation, from Exchange Pa pers. . , ' The latest accounts from South Caro lina prove the troth of cur assertion that tbe negroes were not the aggres sors in tbe receut trouoies. luiuin- gence received at Washington states tbat from thirty to one hundred ne groes bave been killed during tbe past week in the yicinity of Aiken, and shows that the whites are carrying out their original determination to obtain control of the State by killing off Re publican voters. At this rate their success is assured if tbe strong arm of the government is not interposed to put an end to tbe fiendish operations. JVoith American. Tildes, it is promised, will reduce taxation. At the same time his ad ministration is tacitly pledged to pen sion tbe coufederato wounded, invallid and bereaved. Tbe only reduction in taxation possible is by stimulating in dustry to greater production, while watching against fraud and waste. The Republican party has employed both of these agencies, aud employed tbem so widely tbat industry increased while all the interest of the debt was promptly mot ; while portions of tbe principal were liquidated, and tbe gross charge was reductd by funding at low er rates. Any other method is impos sible and absurd. But startting prom ises and flaring assertions mislead tbe thoughtless with an idea tbat taxation can be reduced by bare legislation, and tbat without iniurr. The whole thins is an intended fraud.

Fearful reports of tbe disturbances have just reached here trom the vicin ity of Ellenton, Barnwell county. A gentleman wbo weut down on tbe train from Augusta, Georgia, has been to see me this morning, and reports only what be saw with bis own eyes. lie says S. P. Coker, member of the General As sembly, and a delegate to t'je conven tion from tbe county of Barnwell, who left here for home on Monday, was on Tuesday taken from bis home, carried to Ellenton and then shot to death. I will tell tbe story as it was told to me, aod in tbo language of the relator, as neat ly as I can : "1 left Augusta for Beaufort on Tues day morning at 8:30 o'clock. We pro ceeded as far as Ellenton, when Capt. M. M. Hudson, conductor of the train, refused to go further, as reports bad reached him of a proposed collision at Roberts, few miles below. While waiting at Ellenton, probably not more than half an hour, 1 saw S. P. Coker walking witb several white men witb guns on their shoulders. I do not tbink be felt tbat be was in any danger, lie went over to a store near the station, and in plain sight, but a few yards away, and sat down en a bench and talked witb tbe white men. After a few minutes they all got np and walked about thirty or forty yards into a field, under a largo oak tree, all talking to gether. Tbe white men then left Coker about thirty yatds off and shot him. Two men shot him after be felL 1 saw all this while sitting in tbe cars. " 1 also saw two otber men dead by tbe side of tbe railroad, one with bis bead almost entirely off. A colored man named Morrison was on the train. I think be was ooce a member of tbe General Assembly from Beaufort. A. P.'Butler, I tbink is bis name, a brother of M. C. Butler, while on the train was elected to command the company of bite men then on tbe train. He went up to Morrison, aod drawing his pistol, was going to shoot bim at once, and would bave done so if tbe conductor bad not told bim tbat Morrison was in bis charge, and should not be hurt. . He (tbe conductor) finally put Morrison in the baggage car, and told him to lock himself in and stay there until he told bim to come out. . , Morrison wect to Augusta from tbere. Butler was very drunk. Most of the men 1 saw tbere were from Columbia county, Ga. They said tbey bad killed every nigger that they bad seen, and 1 think they bad." Columbia, S C, Sept. 21, 1376: The rumors which bave prevailed here for several days, of a bljody encounter between the whites and the blacks, are found to be only too' true, at least so far as ehedding blood is concerned. Tbe Democratic newspapers agree in tbeir statements tbat at least forty persons have been killed, and, as is uscalin all such encounters, tbe colored men are tbe greatest sufferers. Up to this time there is no definite information of tbe death of a single white person, although the sheriff of Aiken reports three killed, or rather says three " are reported killed." There has been no encounter at all so far as we bave been able to learn, but ratber a wholesale mnrder of colored men wherever they could be found. In tbe cotton fields at work or traveling along the highway tbey were deliber ately sbot down in coid blood, bratally mangled after they were dead and left to lie in tbe hot snn with no one to re move or inter theio. Tbere has been no hostile gathering of the blacks. 1 believe at least one hundred negroes bave been killed since Sunday morning last iu tbe two counties mentioned, and I do not believe a single white man has been harmed. If you will carefully read the account published in tbe Au gusta (Ga ) Constitutional, and copied into our papers yesterday, you win at once sea the absurdity as well as the falsity of the whole story on which is based the pretext for this wholesale butchery. Tbe writer says tbe negroes in ambush fired a volley upon tbe whites, but "without doing any damage but when tbe woites returned the fire sev eral negroes were killed or wounded. Tbe sheriff of Aiken, in bis official re port to tbe Governor, or ratber in bis official telegram, says he saw no armed bands of negroes any were, but did see the whites in armed bands. Others cdnfirtu this report. In my judgment it is a simple slaughter of the negroes without justification or defence. Both Coker, of Barnwell, and Hol land, of Aiken, members of the last General Assembly, are reported killed. Coker was phot in open day at Ellen ton, and in presence of dozens of men. He bad but just returned from the con vention here, where be was a member; but the Democratic papers say be bad several papers on bis person implicating bim in a conspiracy against the whites. All bosh. Yon of course know that this is only a story trumped up for effect at tbe North. There never was a time when the negroes of this State were more quiet or desirous of peace than now. Reports also reach us of trouble about eight miles from Marion. What tbere is in it I do not know, as tbe news has but just reached here. Great excitement prevails. The following despatches have been sent to Governor Chamberlain while on bis way to Massachusetts for bis family. Tbe Governor paseed through this city yesterday on bis way South : Columbia, S. C , Sept. 22, 1876 Governor D. II. Chamberlain : Riot in Aiken county has broken out again. Troops have been sent to the scene. Tbey will need fresh orders.

Pennsylvania Day The Ceremony of the 28th. A number of the thirteen States or Provinces tbat euteied the compact of the Declaration of Independence in In 6, bave already observed a jubilee day in bonor of tbeir one buudredth national birth year, aod those of that origiual number tbat bave not yet done so, will do so between this and Novem ber. Last Thursday was Pennsylvania's Day. The occasion was observed by the assembling of tbe largest collection of peop'e in a civil capacity ever gath ered at one place on this continent, within the knowledge of man. It was a fitting day for Pennsylvania to bonor, because it was tbo centennial day of the adoption of tbe State Constitution following the Declaration of Indepen dence. The number of people present fluctuates somewhere between 250,000 and 270,000. As each of tbe States not only hon ored special days by specially large crowds, but by appropriate ceremony also, so did Pennsylvania honor lbe oc casion by ceremony. The ceremony began shortly before 10 o'clock, when "the veteran corps of the First Regi ment of Infantry, National Guards of Pennsylvania, Col. Charles S. Smith commanding, after waiting upon Gover nor Hartrauft at tbe Globe Hotel, con ducted bim to tbe Slate structure, on the Exhibition grounds. Upon enter-, ing tbe building be was met by the Centennial authorities with Directoi General Goshorn at their bead, wbo escorted His Excellency to tbe Judges' Hall, where the priucipal exercises of the day took place. On their arrival, about 11 o'clock, tbe ceremouies were opened witb the singing of an original ode by the Corinthian Quartette of Philadelphia. Upon reaching the in terior of the Hali, and quietness being restored, Governor Hartranft took tbe cbair and delivered a short address, in which he spoke of the greatness ot the occasion, the gratifying attendance of tbe citizens of Ibis commonwealth, aod of tbe wonderful results achieved by the exhibition. He paid a fitting trib ute to 'be Centennial managers, to the working of tbe World's Fair, and to its importance in history, and concluded by presenting tbe Presi dent of the Centennial Commission, Gen. Joseph K. Ilawley. The latter spoke in bis happiest manner, and at the conclusion of his remarks. Mr. John Welsh, President of the Centennial Board of Finance, directed attention to th unlimited and pronounced success of the show in its every detail. Then followed the special feature of the day, the address by Benjamin Harris Brews ter, Esq., with tbe history, resources and growth of tbe State." The Governor's reception in the State building was largely attended. The Prodigal Son. From . J. Storrt't Spetch at Freeport, L llltnoi: 1 have read tbe parable of the Prodi gal Son. 1 am willing to accept that test, and I for one would be willing to treat the Southern prodigal precisely as the old man in etory treated his prod gal. The prodigal of tbe parable was a pretty good sort of boy, as the world went, lie came to man's estate. He left borne when be bad a perfect right to leave. Nobody questioned it. No soul doubted it. His portion was paid over to bim. He didn't take a single dollar that did not belong to bim. If I bave read history aright, tbat was not precisely the course which tbe Southern prodigal" pursued. (Laughter.) Tbe old Scripture prodigal was a boy stand ing just open the threshold of life, fool ish as hundreds and thousands of boys have been' since, witb his pocket full of rocks". Ire went oat to see tbe world, fell att7ng'stbe Democrats, and natu rally enowgh w cleaned out. (Laagh ter.y e d?4 nor seek tbe destruction of the old homestead when be left it. He went away with no ill will He did net at'empt to plunder the old man or the brother he left behind him. Bat he found tbat playing prodigal didn't pay.

Bad tegs, Bad Breasts, Sores aod Ulcers, All description or sores are renediabSa by the proper and diligent ose or this ines timable preparation. To attempt to crtro bud h'g by plastering the edges or ths wound together is a folly ; for should the kin unite, a boggy diseased condition re mains underneath to break out with tenfold fury in a tew days. The only rational and successful treatmenf, as indicated by nature is to reduce the inflammation iif and about the wownc) and to soothe tbe neighboring parts by rubbing in plenty of the Ointment as salt in forced into niewt. This win cause lbe malignant humors to be drained off from tbo hard, swollen, and discolored parta round about the wound, sore, or ulcer, an4 when these humors are removed, the wooDdaj themselves will soon heal ; warm bread and water poultices applied over the affected parts, after the Ointment bas been w rubbed in, will soothe and soften the same and greatly assist lbe cure. Thre is a do. scriplioa of nicer, sore and swelling which need not be named here, attendant upon the lollies of youth, and lor which this Oint ment to nrgerrtiy recommended as a sover eign remedy.

Wlxiever tries the uneuent in law above manner for the diseases named, or any similar disorder affertmg tbe chest and throat, will find themselves relieved a by a charm. All sufferers from these com plaints should envelope tbe throat at bed time in a laro reaj and water poultice, after tbe Ointmenr been well rubbed in ; it will greily sasist t?e cure of Ihe throat ad chest. To allay the fever and lessen the fciHaromation, eight or ten Pills should be taken night and mornmg. The ointment will produce perspiration, tbe grand essen tial in all casus t' fevers, sore throats, or where there might be an oppression of tfcw chest, either from asthma or otber causes. Piles, Fi"tnlav Strictures. The above class of complaints wiil be re moved by nightly fomen'.ing the parts with warm water, and then by most t-tlectualty rubbing in Ihe Ointment.

It will require time with the use of the Pills to insure a lasting cure. Dropkical Swelling, Paralysis, and Stiff" oil.
