SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR
For all Diseases cf the
liver, Kidneys, Stomach and Spleen.
This purely citable pre
paration, now so celebrated as a
Family Medicine, originated in
the South in 1838. It acts
pently on the Bowels and
Kidneys and corrects the
action of the Liver, and is, there,
fore, the best preparatory
medicine, whatever the sick
ness may proe to be. In all
common diseases it will, un
assisted by any other medi
cine, effect a speedy cure.
The Regulator is safe to administer in any
condition of the system, and under no circuni
fctanccs can it do harm. It -will inigorate
like a glass of wine, but i no intoxicating bet er
ase to lead to intemperance: uill promote di
gestion, dissipate headache, and gener
ally tone- up the system. The dose is smill,
not unpleasant, and its virtues undoubted.
No loss of time, no Inter
ruption or htoppago of
business while taking the
Regulator.
Children complaining of
Colic, Headache, or hick
Stomach, a teaspoonful or
more will give relief.
If taken occasionally by pa
tients exposed to MALARIA,
v ill expel the poison and protect
them from attack.
a rnrsiCLVN3 opinion.
I have been practicing medicine for tw enty years,
and ha e never been able to put up a egetable
compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regu
lator, promptly and effectively move the Lher to
action, and at the same time aid (instead of weak
ening) the digestive and assimilative powers of the
system. L. M. Hijjton, M. D. .Washington, Ark.

Oregonian Travelers in Ubrway'and
Sweden.
Stockholm, Sweden, July 23,
1SS7. The weather the fore part
of this month being very warm in
London, I thought a trip through
Norway and Sweden would be
pleasantatthisseason of the year.So
we started on a trip through these
two delightful countries to travel
in at this season. "SVe landed
from the steamer which conveyed
us from Copenhagen, at Gotten
burg, in the southern part of Swe
den, and there took the railway
for Christiana in Norway, where
we remained several days visiting
the many points of interest in and
around the city, which we found
most interesting. Everything in
and about Christiana is very neat
and substantial. The king's pal
ace, museum and other public
buildings make no pretentions to
architectural beauty, but are verv
solid structures; the streets are
well paved with Belgian blocks
made of granite; the beer gardens
are neat, with good music, and I
am sure are well patronized. Os
car's hall, about two miles from
the city, and a residence of the
king, is a ver neat building with
beautiful grounds overlooking
Christiana fjord. In it are many
articles of curiosity, such as the
swords of Bernadotte (Charles
XIV.), the coronation dresses of
the last two queens of Norway and
Sweden, worn by them on corona
tion day, etc.
Wc took a trip into the interior
on the railway, and went as far us
Henefoss, a town of about 2,000
inhabitants, in the heart of the
lumber district of Norwa. There
are a dozen large sawmills in and
about Henefoss, and more logs
are rafted past Henefoss in one
day than come into the Willam
ette in a whole year, and piles of
lumber that rival any of the large
lumber j-ards of Chicago. The
mills, however, are of the fashion
of those in use forty years ago in
Ohio and Pennsylvania. The
power is obtained from a wheel
known as the "flutter wheel," and
there is no gear of any kind. The
crank on each end of the shaft
drives the "gang," which consists
of from four to eight saws. I was
informed that each "gang11 would
cut 7,000 feet in twelve hours.
The "sett" of the saws is very
wide, and the saws cut away
about J: of on inch in going
through the log. The lumber
which is cut along the river is
rafted to Drammcn, from where
ships take it to all parts of Eu
rope. The lumber trade, 1 am
informed, is now very active, and
has advanced four kroners per M
within the past six mouths, and
the demand is active. The lum
ber is very fine, and preferred in
the various markets of Europe to
an other, although but few of the
loss that are sawed are more than
eighteen inches in diameter. But
what the logs lack 111 size they
make up in number, for I have
never seen so many logs in my life
before as I saw in the rivers and
in Christiana fjord in one day.
After the trip to Drammen and
Henefoss, we took the railway for
Stckholm via the valley of the
Rhandfos, and following up for
many miles the valley of the
river Glommen. This is said to
be one of the finest valleys in
Norway, and is, I should think,
about three miles wide between
the foothills. The Glommen
river is about the size of the "Wil
lamette. There are five different
falls on the river, each fall of
about the height of the falls at Or
egon City, and they are several
miles apart. There are large iron
factories and lumber mills on it.
The whole surface of the river
was covered with rafts of sawlogs
for miles at a time. After leaving
tho valley of the Glommen, the
road runs over a high rocky coun
try with lakes always in sight, and
fringed on their banks with birch
timber.-. The road reaches about
61 degrees north, and most of our
party sat up all night to see the
sun's light at midnight "SVe
could not see the sun at mid
night, but we could see the light,
and at midnight it was so light
that ordinary printing could be
readily read, and at half-past one
in the morning it was broad day
light. We arrived in Stockholm
eighteen hours from Christiana.
Stotkuolm is a very beautiful
city of about 230,000 inhabitants.
Its streets are well paved and are
kept in splendid order. There are
many elegant buildings and more
shipping than in any city I have
seen in Europe except London.
The king's palaces are not fine
buildino-s as compared with some
I have seen in other cities. Streets
and sidewalks are all laid with
"ranite Belgian blocks and each
block is inspected before it is laid
down and none but perfectjblocks
nrf nut down. They are made
and inspected in the quarries and
then brought on tne streets ana
laid under the supervision of an
inspector of works; The conse
quence IS no poor, irregular worts
is done and the streets and side
walks are all good, even in the
outskirts of the city, and are kept
perfectly clean. The wharves, of
which there are miles, are. mint or
granite, and are the most substan
tial I have seen, not excepting the
wharves of London. The city is
built on islands, and the wharves
extend around them. There are
no straight5Us like ones along
straight streets, but they follow
the contour of the shores. The
streets near the shore are the same
thing. There are many bridges
across these channels among the
islands, but no shipping goes above
the first or lowermost bridge next
the Baltic. Steamboats, however,
with adjustable smokestacks ply
among the islands, and when they
pass under the bridges the smoke
stacks are lowered. There are no
draws in these bridges a3 they are
built of heavy granite, .
The grounds of Hasselbacken,
near the city, are very fine, and
embrace a large beer hall, circus,
theater, shooting grounds, etc.
The are owned by the govern
ment, and are a great resort of the
"better element" of Stockholm so
ciety The picture gallery here is said to
be one of the best in Europe, and
comprises many paintings of the
best Italian, French, German and
Spanish painters, as well as a large
collection of pictures by Swedish
and Norwegian artists. The best
picture I have ever seen is in this
collection. There are immense
iron works here, where it is said
the best iron in the world is made.
T visited them to-day. Many hun
dreds of men are employed in
these works. I slso visited the
glass factory here which is a' very
large establishment, and where a
very fine quality of glassware is
made. The large porcelain manu
factory is some distance from the
city and I have not visited it.
AVe leave Stockholm for Got
tonberg to-day by way of the Got
ta canal. This canal extends from
this city to Gottenberg, in a south
westerly direction, and is navigat
ed by steamers of as high as 500
tons burthen. There are seventy
five locks and the altitude reached
between the ends of the canal is
more than 400 feet, and is one of
the most extensive works of the
kind in the world.
All the railway and telegraph
lines in Sweden and Norway are
owned and operated bv the gov
ernment. Many of these roads
run through most dfhcult sections
of the country to . build in and
most have cost immense sums of
money although labor and mate
rial are very cheap. The jrovern-
ment is now engaged n building
a railway through the northern
part of Sweden and Norway, a
large portion of which will be near
the arctic circle, but it will open
up an immense district of country
rich in iron and, lead, and in tim
ber. ' - 1

Pailura of Labrador fisheries.
St. John, N. J3., Aug. 15.
News of the utter failure of the
Labrador fisheries, which was re
ceived here to-day, confirms the
worst fears of the people, the
alarming report -being received
that 1,000 vessels are coming back
clean,and thatr the rerhairiing500
crafts Jiave only a! few quintals ibf
fish each. This is the mostdisas
trous thing thatteould happen to
the fishing colonies here, wnich de
pend entirely upon the yield of
ocean for their existence. The
news has produced an -indescriba
ble feeling of gloom aand despair.
There has been a wholesale exodus
of New Foundlanders this year.
"Whole colonies ot fishermen have,
gone to the Pacific coast to begin
life anew in the rich fisheries re
ported there. Those who could
gather together enough money to
gee away nave gone, ana every
