Sore Eyes
The ej es are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. "When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it
is an evidenco that the system has
becomo disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayer's Sarsaparilla is tho best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced a painful in
flammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number of years. By the
advice of aphysician I commenced taking
Ayer's sarsaparilla. Alter using mis
medicine a short time I was completely
Cured
My eyes aro now in a splendid condi
tion, and I am as well and strong as over.
Mrs. 'William Gage, Concord, N. H.
For a number of years I was troubled
with a humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until I commenced
usinjr Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medi
cino has effected a complete cure, and I
believe it to be tho best of blood puri
fiers. C. E. Upton, Nashua, N. H.
From childhood, and until with a few
months, I have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. I havo used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and consider it a
great blood purifier. Mrs. C. Phillips,
Glover, Vt.
I Buffered for a year with inflamma
tion in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on tho ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, I was final
ly induced to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
By Taking
three bottles of this medicine I havo been
entirely cured. My sight has been re
stored, and there is no sign of inflamma
tion, sore, or ulcer in my eye. Kendal
T. Dowen, Sugar Treo Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was afflict
ed with Scrofulous Soro Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light of
any kind. Physicians cf the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On tho recommen
dation of a friend I purchased a bottle of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
Her cure is complete. W. E. Suther

IN THE U. S. SENATE.
Washington, Sept. 25. In the
senate Stewart offered a resolution
calling on the president for such
information as he has received
since the 7th inst., as to the action
of the Chinese government on the
recent treaty.
Edmunds suggested that the
resolntion would better be consid
ered in executive session, for rea
sons which he would state in ex
ecutive session. The resolution
thereupon was laid npon tho table
temporarily, and the senate, on
motion of Edmunds, proceeded to
executive business with closed
doors.
The resolution was withdrawn
by the senator from Nevada as
soon as the doors were closed, to
give Edmunds an opportunity to
offer an amendment calculated to
bring out any official correspond
ence which may have taken place
dnring the pendency of the re
striction bill. The resolution went
over for the day under objection.
Tho doors were opened at one
o'clock. Sherman's resolution for
an inquiry into the state of rela
tions between the United States
and Great Britain and Canada was
taken up, and Morgan proceeded
to discuss it.
He yielded the floor temporarily
so as to permit Allison to report
back from the committee on ap
propriations the house joint reso
lution to continue the provisions
of the present law providing for
tho expenditures of the gov
ernment up to and including the
10th of October. The joint reso
lution was passed. It is the fifth
of its kind passed this session.
Morgan then resumed the floor
and proceeded with his argument.
He paid a high compliment to the
president for his clear sight and
courage. There was, he said, no
trimming, no double-dealing, no
hiding away of his opinions on the
part of the president.
Dolph replied to what he desig
nated the extraordinary speech of
the senator from Alabama. He
spoke of the inconsistency of the
Democratic senators, who, from
being on tho British side when the
treaty was pending, were now the
most radical advocates of retalia
tion. He regarded the president's
retaliation measure as a most ex
traordinary document. After thp
rejection by the senate on the fish
eries treaty, which was "a shame
ful surrender of American rights,"
the president had been left free to
execute the retaliation act of
March 3, 1887, but chose to blus
ter rather than to act, and under
took to instruct the senate on the
question. The president demanded
power to do what he could to pre
vent transportation in bond and to
from Canada, the exercise of which
would hurt American transporta
tion companies and would tend to
destroy American industries, and
would hardly harm Canada at all.
It would divert the transportation
of goods to or from Canada across
American territory by American
transportation lines. It would
give an opportunity for the build
ing up of Canadian lines, and it
would, in the end, as claimed by
leading men of Canada, be of ben
efit to the Canadian provinces.
The exercise of the power in the
president's hands under tho net of
March 3, 18S7, would have injured
Canada. "Was that the reason
why the president had not exe
cuted it? The power asked for
would injure American interests.
Was that why the president de
sired it? It would seem to be the
president's desire to retaliate on
the people of tho United States
rather than on the people of Can
ada. At the close of Dolph's remarks
the resolution was referred to tho
committee on foreign relations,
Sherman stating that it would be
considered to-morrow.
Remember This.

such complaints.
At one time not very long ago
buffalo swept over the western
plains in Herds of countless num
bers; now the killing of a solitary
bull in Dakota is considered such
an unusual occurrence that an ac
count of it is telegraphed across
the continent.
In the window of a Main street
drug store is displayed a conspicu
ous sign, "vaccine." A young
lady from Canada walked into the
store recently to get some soda
water. "What syrup please!"
asked the slender clerk." "Vac
cine," promptly replied the fair
creature. She took it for the
latest thing in soda, only she
didn't get it. The clerk fainted.

A Satisfactory Answer Mrs.
Newma Now tell me, Mrs. Bar
kins, do you believe in one cow's
milk for the baby? Mrs. Barklns
Wall, that depends on the child.
Ef he's a good, strong, healthy
baby, and wants it, I'd give him
two cows' milk, but sake's alive, it
'pears as if any ord'nary baby

could furnish.
