Outlook is tbe Senate is Rather Om inous for Him. Jiw York, Dec. 12. A special to tbe Herald from Washington says : Apathy among Senator Quay's friends is making tbe out'ook in the senate .rather ominous for him. Senators Chandler and Penrose appear to be the only persons who are doing an ac'ive canvassing in bis behalf, and they are by no means encouraged by tbe prosrees tbey are making. Tbe lack of interest was forcibly illus trated In the case of a senator who waa approached with tbe suggestion tost he make a strong speech io behalf of the constitutional right of a governor to ap point when a legislature bad failed to elect. This influential senator had spoken in behalf of Senator Corbett, and was ured to repeat the same arguments that be advanced in that gentlemen's behalL He has declined the it-quest on the ground that wheu he supported Mr. Cor bett, both Senators Quay and Pen rote refused to vote to seat him. The sen" ator stated that he would Tote to seat Mr. (joey, but be did cot see how Penn sylvania's senators ioa!d consistently in sist upon his taking cbsrge of the case on tbe doer of tbe senate. It ia liecoming more manifest every day that Mr. Qi ty liai con si Krable can vassing to At Jo mike his seat in tte aenatea certainty. There are to j tuanr name ou the non committal column to make the outcome certain for bits at this time.

It has been banded down for genera tions and is the same today as iu early liases. It is emphatically a di sease of tbe blood, 'and the only way to cure it is by purifying the b'od. That is juat wbst Hood's Sareaparilla does in every case where it is giveo a faithful trial. It eradicates s 11 impuri titi from the blood, and cures the sores, boils, pimples and all forma of skin disease due lo scrofula taints in tbe blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla has won the grateful praise of vast numbers of people by its grand and complete cures. Don't allow scrofula to de velop in your blxd.

Men ami women sometimes withstand great physi cal violence, but suc cumb to the invisible germs of consumption so small that they can be seen only under a powerful microscope. The starting point of consumption is in the stomacn, wnich, w hen deranged, makes bad blood because diges tion is not perfect, and in bad blood the mi crobes multinlv and flourish. Sooner or later the lungs are at tacked, and in the weak spots the germs begin their deadly work of tearing down the tis sues. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Diu co very stops the encroachments of con sumption microbes. It builds up and fortifies the whole system by aiding the stomach in its many functions. It assists in the proper assimilation of food. This scientific remedy cures lingering coughs, bronchitis, bleeding at the lungs, and every other symptom that eventually leads to consumption. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. ., who makes this won derful medicine, gives free, fatherly ad vice to all who write him. " Last spring I m taken with severe pains in my cliot, nud was so weak I could hardly walk nlxmt Ihe house," says Mrs. G. K. Kerr, of Fort Dodce. Weustrr Co.. Iowa. "1 Irird uwni phyiciau ami thev told me I had consumption, but that I iuijl)t ' brush it over ' and perhaps live A Rood ninny years. I heard of Dr. Pierce's Oolden Modioli discovery and I thought I would try some f it. Ik iore I had taken the first bottle I was very much better; I took five bottles of it nod have nut yt had any return of the trouble. 1 have also t.ikeu Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescrip. liou and 'I'lcauinl Vellets' with good results."
