lowing resolution:

(. Secretary of such expulsion with
tho additional fact of such expelled
meinler holding a valid traveling card
irom me JXRige.

such information by the R. V . G.
.Secretary it shall lie the duty of that
officer to immediately notify each
grand jurisdiction of the fact with the
request that they notify their respective
ouixiruiiiait; x-ioufcs.

cal Faculty publish as soon as made, all
their discoveries, and almost all that is
known of real value for the cure of disease
has been discovered by them. Da. Ayer
takes the honorable honest cours and
right because it is honest. He goes to work
and invents tho best remedy which skill
can devise for the cure of certain coin
plaints; then publishes what it is, and
maintains his control of it solely, bv mak
ing it cheaper, better, more perfect, than
any body else can. If the people would
exact this of all who offer medicines, they
would have much less treacle and trash to

It is seldom that we notice anything

aro not doing our duty as a journalist
in recommending to the public the cel
ebrated botanical preparation of Dr.
Henry. Whoever induces the victim
of scrofula or any other disease of the
blood, to uso Dr. Henry's Extract of
Sarsparilla, has begun a good work.
There is no question as to the result of
this medicine if persevered in. It is a
sure cure for scrofula, rheumatism,
Salt Rheum, and indeed all complaints
arising from vitiated or impure blood.
It is just what a good physician would
prescribe for theso complaints, and we
eontidently recommend it as being the
best article now in use. Dr. Henry's
Cough lialsam is tho most alt'ective
remedy for affection of the throat or
lungs that we have ever known. It
contains no deleterious drugs, and can
be taken with impunity and certainty
of relief. For the cure of coughs colds,
sore throat; etc., it stands without a ri
val. Dr. Henry s Liniment us an alle
viator of pain, is unrivaled by any
preparation before tho public; the
most skeptical will be convinced by a
single trial. It will prove itself a friend
iu need which no family should be
without.
