LOSS OF VOICE After Acute Bronchitis CURED BY TTSIHO AYER'S Cherry- Pectoral A PREACHER'S EXPERIENCE. "Three months ago, I took a vio lent cold which resulted in an attack of acute bronchitis. I put myself under medical treatment, and at the end of two months was no better. I found it very difficult to preach, and concluded to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. The first bottle gave me great relief ; the second, which I am now taking, has relieved me almost entirely of all unpleasant symptoms, and I feel sure that one or two bot tles more will effect a permanent cure. To all ministers suffering from throat troubles, I recommend Ayer's Cherry Pectoral." E. M. Brawley, D.D., Dist. Secretary, Am. Bapt. Publication Society, Petersburg, Ya. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral GOLD MEDAL AT THE "WORLD'S IATR. AYER'S LEADS ALL OTHER SARSAPAR1LLAS. Skinning the Coon. The Dalles, Feb. 15, 1896. To the Editor : I have read Representative Coon'e communication in your issue of the 12th instant wondering, the while, if it could, possibly, have emanated from the quiet, unassuming young man helped to elect to his first term in the Oregon legislature. My! what a rich vocabu lary of Leasean, Tillman, Populistico rhetoric he has acquired since then What a preternatural inBtinct for nosing out "rings," "gangs" and "combines!" Nay, -what supernatural vision for dis covering the shining eagle9 drop reson ant int" the upturned palms of "the yelping bloodhounds of the hireling press." Lucky it is, my countrymen, that hard words break no bones, else the osseus fabric of these "yelping bloodhounds" would be ground by this voung Hurcules into dust impalpable as the stuff that dreams are made of. What is Mr. Coon driving at, any way? Is his letter a vindicution ot him self and the other twenty-nine "legisla tive highwaymen?"' Alas! they are nn happy, indeed, both in the vindicator and the thing vindicated. Was there not a caucus? Wag not Mr. Coon not to speak of the other twenty-nine a member of that caucus? Did he not pledge himself over his own signature, in palpable black and white, to enter that caucus and abide by its decision? Nay, back of all this, did he not repeat edly avow to his constituents, while the campaign waa pending, that he would support Mr. Dolph because he be lieved that gentleman was the choice of his constituents? Nay, back of all this still, was not the campaign of 1894 a battle-royal between the economic and financial theories of Dolph-Republican ism and the outlawry, free trade and free silver heresies of Pennover-Popu Jiem? And when the latter was hurled -to the limbo beside the moon was n"ot Senator Dolph, morally, as much en titled to reap the fruits of the victory, by succeeding himBelf, as if bis name bad been on the election ballots? So acted and spoke Mr. Coon, and so thought and expected all men, of every shade of political opinion, everywhere, from Maine to Oregon. Nay, so spoke all men, everywhere, while the battle was pending, and so was Mr. Coon sup posed to sneak and hold, else he never would have warmed a second seat in the tjregon legislature. Jay, so ao nis con stituents still speak and hold, so that it is a perfectly safe prophecy that he will never warm another. What means, then, this sudden eruct ation of accumulated bile? this angry, frothy, jargon? this aimless recrimina tion of Mr. Coon? "this whimpering as of an infant that cannot speak what ails it, but is in distress clearly in the in wards of it, and eo must squall and whimper continually, till its mother take it and it get-r-to sleep?" Clearly tne luture trouoies Mr. uoon no less than the past. Nay, more ! For from out the murky shadows rises the vision of the legislative session of 1896. And Oh! Horrors 1 Dolph is there. The same old "icicle" that the "thirty highway men" melted in 1894 to the beating of Populiet torn toms and uproarious mu sic from Jonathan Bourne's free silver cornet band. And the same old "ring" that "we give the most beautiful thresh ing it ever received in Oregon." All there. But Coon is not there, and the "thirty highwaymen" are also conspicu ous by their absence, and the righteous soul of tb Hood Biver statesman trem bles for the ark of God I But as the pri mal digits ("thumps up") of the "Port land ring-master," in the vision of Coon, point vertical toward the gilded dome of the capitol, the voice of the Hood River statesman, solitary, thundering, pierces the murky shadow To arms! "The war is already begun. Are we cattle or are we men?" Nay, Brother Coon, speak for thyself. Men are generous, and cattle, at least, negatively so. Nei ther will conspire in secret StarChamber of "Professional American Citizens" to stab men in the dark! What then art thou? As for us, some of us, at least, are rren who believe that promises are not like dicers oaths, made only to be broken, and that when the heads of onr representatives become so abnormally swollen that they willfully ecorn the be hests of their constituents, it is time to sequester them in' perpetuity to their primeval strawberry patch. For the rest, an infinitely worse calamity might befall the commonwealth than the elec tion of Dolph. The nation would, in that event, have one "highwayman" less in the national senate no trifling consideration at this particular junct ure the republican party an able expo nent - and unflinching advocate of its best thoughts and principles, and the state a representative whom it has al ready weighed in the balance of ex peri ence and has not found wanting. Hugh Goublay. Whist Club f rlTolittes. The whist club passed one of the most pleasant evenings of the whole year at Fraternity hall last evening, the hosts being Mr. and Mre.W. H. Wilson. Mrs, Hudson and Mrs. Bradshaw tied for ladies' first prize and the fortunes of war in the friendly contest for its possession, inclined finally to Mrs. Hudson. Mr, L. E. Crowe wen the gentleman's first prize, and Mr. W. Lord the "booby." The card playing was followed down stairs by, an excellent banquet and suc ceeded bv a dance. An Boar With Mother Goose. On Monday evening of next week an entertainment will be given in Frater nity hall by the Juveniles of the I. W. Good Templars lodge. A great deal of time has been devoted to this entertain ment by the superintendent and chil dren, and is more than worth the price of admission. A cordial invitation is extended to all people, old and young, who wish to encourage children to take an early stand for temperance. Price of admission, 10 cents.

If you haven't , waited beyond reason, there's complete re covery and cure. Although by many believed to be incur able, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact- that, in all - its earner stages, con sumption is a curable fi disease. Not every case, but a large tier- cenlage of cases, and we Delieve, lully as by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (including tubercu lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such Cases reported to us as cured by "Golden Med ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery," but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophos. phites had also been faithfully tried in vain. The photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of i6b pages which will be mailed to you, on re ceipt oi" address and six cents in stamps. You can then write those cured and learn theirexperience. Address World's Dispen sary Medical Association, Buffalo, N.Y. PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. F. W. Wilson went to Hood River this afternoon. Mr. W.

It is, in my opinion, the best cou i edicine in the market." If this remedy is freely given as soon as the croup cough appears it will prevent the attack. It is also an ideal remedy for whooping cough. There is no danger in giving it to children, as it contains noth ing injurious. For sale by Blakeley & Houghton, .Druggist. For Sale or Trade.
