the use of Ayer's most excellent Cherry

from croup and consumption, and Lad
the greatest fear of losing my only re-

them Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, on the first
symptoms of throat or lung trouble, they
are relieved from danger, and are be.

"In the winter of 1885 I took a bad
cold which, in spite of every known

physician considered me incurable, sup-
posing me to be in consumption. As a
last resort I tried Ayer's Cherry Pecto-

complete. Since then I have never been
without this medicine. I am fifty years

HEALTH.
LTH.
Hints on the ()axe of the Siok;
The comfort and prospect ot recovery of
the sick is dependent in a great measure
upon their surronndings and treatment.
For the well-to-do invalid, the presence of
trailed attendants is a great advantage; but
the majority of sick persona must look to a
member of the family or a kind friend for
the ministration of necessary things. Rare-
lyis to
do we find,however the person who i
noire a It
r
the rturseenanner born, and when we do,
the convalescence of a sick one may be pre-
dicted with ooufidence. For the treatment
of invalids generally, then, the following
advice will find application, and it is valu-
able enough to be posted up for reference
on occasion.
In the first place, the most cheerful
room in the house should be that of
the sick. A change from a gloomy,
dark apartment to' one where there is
warpath and brightness is better in its
effects oftentimes than medicine. The
sun should come in at the windows, and
there should be blinds and shutters also,
whereby too glaring beams may be temper-
ed, or, if necessary, shut out altogether.
But tyle sun should still be allowed to shine
upon the outer casements, for the thought
of his goldenbeams is cheering to a sufferer.
A. dull room, where the sunlight can never.
penetrate, is depressing to even a well
person. Invalids are even a bit childish,
and a new object now and then does infinite
good. Change the objects in the room as
you have the chance, and do not be afraid
to allow the patient rosebuds, if no other
flowers,
Never begin to change the clothes of the
sick until you are sure that you have every-
thing requisite in readiness. The garments
of weak bed -lying patients should be chang-
ed twice a week at least, and in many cases
oftener than that. Observe oerefully before
beginning to change a patient's clothing that
no draughts can touch the bed. Let ail the
linen be properly aired and warmed before-
hand—touch caution in this ease cannot
be observed. In changing the clothing do
not move nor uncover thepatieut more than
is absolutelynecessary.

to Representative Farmer

MR. C. C. HAUN.
The following remarkable Iacts are fully
certified to as being undeniably correct in
every particular. Mr. Hann is well known
in the vicinity, having resided here over
fifty years, and is highly respected as a
man of the strictest honor, whose word is
as good as his bond.
As will be seen from his letter, four
physicians had attended him, and it -was
only after he had given up hope of cure
that he decided to try Burdock BIood
Bitters on the recommendation of a,
neighbor who had been cured of a similar
disease by its use. Mr. Haim writes as
follows:
DEAR Szes,—I think I have been one
of the worst sufferers you have yet heard
of, having been six years in the hands of
four of our best doctors without obtaining
permanent relief, but continually growing
worse, until almost beyond hope of re-
covery, I tried your Bitters and got relief
in a few days. Every organ of my body
was deranged, the liver enlarged, hardened
and torpid, the heart and digestive organs
seriously deranged, a large abscess in my
back, followed by paralysis of the right
leg, in fact the lower half of my body was
entirely useless. After using Burdock
Blood Bitters for a few days the abscess
burst, discharging fully five quarts of pus
in two hours. , I felt as if I had received a
shock om a powerful battery. My re-
coverafter this was steady and the cure
permanent, seeing that for the four years
since I have had as good health as ever I
bad. I still take an occasional bottle, not
that I need it but because I wish to keep
my system in perfect working order. I
can think of no more remarkable case
than what I have myself passed through;
and no words can express my thanlfulnesa
for such perfect recovery.

In this connection the following letter
from T. Cumines, Esq.. a leading druggist

ENGLAND'S PREMIER.:
Au Interesting Commentary on, his lRecen,t
Lister Speech.
BE CEOROE W. STIALLEY.
Lord Salisbury's Ulster speooh may be
measured by the, violence with which he is
attacked, and not by that only. The Glad-
stonian orators and organs are becoming
daily V mors extreme in their languaga on the
whole Irish question, Let us take Her.
bert Gladstone as a specimen. Herbert is
important because he
is the son of his fa
th-
er ; possibly also iecause he sits for a divis•
ion of so great a town as Leeds, and must
be supposed to represent in some degree the
opinions of bis constituents. He is, how-
ever, listened to andread chiefly because he
is supposed to reflect in some degree his
fathel•'s sentiments. Heis thirty-eight
years of .age; young, amiable, intelligent;
a steam engine from which the builder
omitted the balahce-wheel. Re spoke at
Hackney on Monday. He described Lord
Salisbury's speech as, one of wanton folly.
" If Ulster should rebel, we," father and I,
"shall be prepared to take the usual course.
That is ambiguous. Does he mean the Ma-
juba Hill course, the l h'irtoum course?
He sneers at Ulster es a minority and
asks " Why not make friends with
the larger crowd?' A cynical phrase to
come from juvenile lips. "There are 3,-
000,000 Nationalists, only a million and a
half anti -Nationalists." Why consider a
mere million and a half, or why not, in Lord
Salisbury's phrase, sell thein into slavery?
If you think this rather random talk what
do you say to the following? " The coma
try must decide. If they decide against
Home Rule, I as a humble member of the
Liberal party shall say I have done what 1
can to promote the cause of Horne Tule for
Ireland ; I have failed and the constitutional
argument has failed ; Ireland is thrown
bank upon itself, and we must tell our
friends that Ireland must rely on her own
resources, whatever they may be„ in order
to wring Homo Rule" out of England,
'Horown resources,whatcver they may be,"

Begin by removing all sleeves from one
arm, then, without moving the patient, put
on all that is to go on this arm. Now raise
the head and shoulders, removing the soiled
and adjusting the clean linen well down
under the shoulders. The patient may now
lie down again and the other aria be dress-
ed. After this the hips can be slightly
raised, the soiled clothing removed and the
clean garments arranged. Never let a very
teeble patient help too much ; as suehacticu
is very exhausting : on the other hand, see
that they do such things as they can and
ought to do themselves. After the change
in linen has been made, enforce strict quiet
for a tune ; then interest them with some
pleasant bit of news, some rumor that will
cheer; never bring ill -tidings to a bedside.
In giving to any one who is sick a drink
of water, when' the draught should be limit-
ed, hand the patient a small glassful, This,
be it ever so small a quantity, does not fail
to satisfy thirst. It is much better to limit
the draught than to present a thirsty per-
son a large goblet of water and direct that
only "so many swallows" must be taken.
The patient will not be so weal -satisfied as
if he could drink all thatwas offered.
Never keep anything eatable in the sick-
room, This is ono of the greatest mistakes
made by nurses. The sight of fruit always
before the invalid robs it of its novelty, and
the .aprieioua appetite refuses to enjoy it;
besides, the impure atmosphere of any sick-
room renders the fruit kept therein unfit
for use, as it is more or less an absorbent.
If you would have it eaten, remove it and
fetch it to the patient in different shapes
and dishes.
Keep company out of tine sick -room -
More harm has been done by such ma].
treatment than las resalted from wrong
medicines given by experimenting physi-
cians. Let quiet reign—not the suppressed
buiet so fear -inspiring, with bated breath
and stealthy footfall, but a cheerful quiet
that is full of tranquility. When address-
ing an invalid do not lower your voice to an
affected whisper, or put on a solemn coun-
tenance. The more nearly an invalid is
1 treated as though he were in health, the
sooner will he reach that condition. Speak
to the ailing in a gentle, cheerful, usual
voice; conversebriefiyupon every -day topics,
as if he were an interested member of society
still. Keep his thoughts from dwelling upon
himself as much as possible, yet do not
weary him with too much chatter. A bright
smile is better than a loud'laugh in a sick-
room—but the laugh is infinitely to be pre-
ferred to the lachrymose symyathy shown
by tactless, if not useless, friends of the
afflicted. These few admonitions show
the necessity of intelligent, thoughtful care
in the room of the verysick—care c that can
scarcely be found outside of disciplined ex-
perience.
Torture of a Ohinese Rebel.
A despatch from Shanghai describes the
execution of one of the chiefs of ire recent
rebellion in Mongolia, Theman was brought
in chains to Tientsin, and after being ex-
amined for several hours by the Viceroy,
Li Hung-elhang, was executed by the "slow
process," ling chi -slicing to death (literally,
cutting into ten thousand pieces). The
wretch was fastened to a wooden cross, and
the executioner proceeded to cut slices from
him here and there, etieginning with the
end of the nose, then cutting off pieces of
the arms and breast and legs, but carefully
avoiding a vital part.
It is usual in the case of this punishment
for the friends of the condemned to bribe
the executioner to give the victim a fatal
stab at an early stage in the proceed-
ings, but it happened that the rebel had no
money and no friends in that vicinity, and,
besides, the- executioner was carefully
watched by the officials, who saw to it that
he should show no mercy, even if he was
so inclined. So the torture went slowly on
for an hour and a half, until the wretched
victim presented a most hideousspectacle,
being denuded of the greaterpart of the
outer flesh, and yet still alive.
At last the officer in charge ordered the
executioner to strike .off the criminal's head.
The latter was evidently conscious, . for he
heard the order and bent his head to re-
ceive the blow. Throughout the whole
scene thevictim never uttered a groan or an
appeal for mercy, though his. compressed
lips showed that it was not without effort
that he maintained his apparent stolidity.
Several foreigners who were present at the
scene say that it,, was the most cruel
Chinese execution they ever.witnessed.

right to handl theta over to their enemies
and subject a Protestant community to the
rule of Roman Catholic priests.. No doubt
there is a suggestion of what we used in
America to pall the higher law. Lord
Salisbury may be right or wrong in his es-
timece of the situation, but as a statesman
he is bound to take account of facts. He
puts thein before the English people. He
tells them—it was his duty to tell them—
that the attempt to set up a Dublin Par-
liament is likely to lead to civil war in
Ireland. That is a iabwbilitY -they
must
consider in deciding to vote for or against
Home Rule. it bus never before been put
so plainly Or with such authority. It has
produced, I think, a great impression. It
may turn many votes; it may alter the polit-
ical future of this kingdom; it may keep
Gladstone out of office. The possibility of
this last catastrophe augers the Gladston-
ians, and they express their auger freely. I
imagine some of them would, if they wer
frank, be inclined to date the doom of
Home Rule from Lord Salisbury's speech
at Covent Garden.
' Another reply to Lard Salisbury comes
from Sir Vernon Harcourt, in whom mature
age has not blunted a taste for political
indiscretions, There is, says Sir William,
one single watchword in Lord Salisbury's
speooh—" Let Ulster rebel." If you avoid
quotations, it is easy to make your oppon-
ent, say what yon wish lie bad said. We
all know how Sir William Harcourt lays on
the colors, He paints a future of misery
for Ireland, of disgrace for England. He
describes the speech as an appeal to ralig-
ious bigotry. It is the language and policy
" which have made British rule naturally
odious and justly oPensive to the great
majority of the Irish people." The Prune
Minister is " an artist in sedition" ; the
ladies of the Primrose League are no better
than the harlots who, one hundred years
ago, stormed Versailles, or they who " in
aur own time watered the Tuileries with
petroleum." He describes the ascendency
which Protestant Ulster has won by intel-
iieence, energy, thrift, high principle, as
the "tyrannical domination of a bigoted
and insolent majority, which has been the
main cause of all the evils of Ireland." It
is odd to hear that Ulster is a majority, but
that was a slip due to excitement. The
whole of his speech is a reply, not to the
speech Lord Salisbury delivered, but to Sir
William Harcourt's travesty of that speech.
It is one way of answering an adversary to
put words into his mouth, or to construct
an adversary for the purpose of being bowl-
ed over.
Lard Rosebery's reply to Lord Salisbury
attracts perhaps more attention than Sir
\ 'ilham Huroourt's for various reasons.
Sir William, Harcourt is a probable leader
of the Gladstonian party in the House of
Commons ; Lord Rosebery is likely enough
to lead the party some day, not in the
House of Commons, since the House of
Lords may not bo abolished just yet, but in
the country. Sir William Harcourt's cou-
viotions are not supposed to be vary stable.
Lord Rosebery is thought to be nearer the
throne—I mean the party throne—and to
reflect more accurately than the Squire of
lifalwood the mood of his revered lender.
Ho has mixed up socialism and Lord Salis-
bury in the most approved style of the most
adroit ot the darlings of democracy. He
has no censure for Socialism and nothing
but censure for Lord Salisbury, He de-
clares he cannot find werds with which to
stigmatize the Prime Minister's Ulster
speech. This is too modest. He does find
many. There has been in Lord Roseoery's
lifetime—be is forty-five years of age—" no
darker and no more sinister contribution to
the history of Ireland than this speech of
Lord Salisbury's." Ho strains bis memory to
find in the history of the last two centuries
any speech of any Prime Minister compar-
able to it in dsager, in recklessness, and
cannot. It is the .acguage of despair ; it is
a dark and desperate appeal; it is the toc-
sin, or he m;ana it to be, which calls the
Nation to ci - i war. You see how much in-
justice Lord ftosebery did to his own vocab-
ulary when he saidhe could find no words;
he found all these and more. He found, in-
deed, too many. He accuses Lord Salisbury
of " trying to stir up old race hatreds, and
of " calling upon the men of Ulster to
spread the flames of civil war rather than
allow any act of Home Rule to be tried."
It would be cruel to ask Lord Rosebery to
cite the passage on which he relies in sup-
port of that charge. Let us take it rather
as his appreciation of the whole speech ; as
an account of the impression left on his own
mind. Even so criticism based on apprecia-
tions and impresstona and not on facts may
seem rash. Prophecy also is rash, and it is
surely rash to say that" the Irish question,
except in details, is as much settled as
Magna Charta." The illustration is nos a
cheering one. Magna Charts itself had to
be ratified, and ratified many times by
many successive Kings.
All this, which in quieter times might
pass for the language of irritation and ex-
citement, is as nothing to the rhetorical
gymnastics of the Gladstonian organ. Lord
Salisbury, if you credit "The Daily News,"
has not been ashamed to preach the gospel
of anarchy, to sneer at respect for law, to
proclaim that "if an act is passed of which
anv.section in the community disapproves,
rebellion becomes legitimate and submission
contemptible." This was said, if at all, in
strict confidence, to the editor of the organ.
No other paper has t
he news, nor has.

other suggestedt

ought to be hanged. I suppose the truth is
that the Gladstonians see that Lord Salis-
bury's speech has altered the conditions of
the Home Rule contest. He has nob,
as Sir William Harcourt says, cried to
Ulster to rebel, nor, as Lord Rose
bery says, sounded the tocsin of civil war.
It is impossible that aPrime Minister should
do anything of the kind, and it is impossi
ble to quote from Lord Salisbury's speech
any passage which justifies either charge.
What he has done .es to recognize
the probability that Ulster will 'refuse
to obey a Dublin Parliament and to ask the
people of this country to consider whether
the Imperial Parliament bas any more

Capt. Bower of the Seventeenth Bengal
Cavalry, and Dr, Thorold reached Shanghai
on April 1, having journeyed from Cashmere
through Thibet to the Chinese province of
Szechuee, an exploit without a parallel by
u
D ropeans: The greater paid of the jour-
ney was made at an elevation of 15,000 feet
above the level of the sea, and for a the refort-
night
ad was 17,000 feet above the
level. Thearty, which consisted of Capt.
Bower,..0r. Thorold, and nine East Indians,
spent just a year on the journey, eight
months of which were passed in the elevated
country thatis seldom visited by Europeans.
A part of their route was traversed by the
explorer Rockall and by Prince Henri of
Orleans and M. Bonvalot, but no prev.
ious explorers bad the same opportunities
for observation or penetrated so far among
the high plateaus that are exceeded in ere.
vation only by the Pamirs, so aptly called
the roof of the world.
The party started from the northwest
corner of Cashmere in April, 1891. They
were well supplied with horses and luggage.
They made a diagonal course straight across
Thibet and entered China near
in the southwest extremity of the province
of Szechuentit Ten months were .consumed
m this journey, which was made in the
face of many hardships and considerable
danger.
The cold was intense on the high pla-
teaus 15,000 feet above the sea level over
Which they travelled for Ave months. Much
sutlbrin from cold was experienced at the
outsidebecanse, to avoid the guards placed
by the Dalai Lama on the frontier of Thibet,
they were forced to go far to the north and
cross the uninhabited table lands. For
days and weeks they travelled over these
elevated plains. The only traces of ahy
previous travellers were an occasional pile
of three stones, placed like an equilateral
triangle, which marked the camping ground
of a party of -nomads. The only vegetation
was a low-lying heather. There was noth-
ing to make a fire of except the dung of
wild. horses. The plains were alive with
game, however—wild horses, antelope,
gazelle, and yults—and the leaders of the
party had good sport. The cold toldsevere-
1y upon the Indisps and the horso,, the
to
party losing about thirty of the latter.
In the middle of these great plains they
had a marrow escape from a party of no-
mads, who threatened to put them out of
the country. The fellows were not strong
enough to make an attack, but they hinted
at reinforcements near by, so Capt. Bower
saddled up at dead of nigl.t and soon put a
good distance between himself and the
blackmailing bandits.
Near the snared city of Shasta they were
stopped by a large party of Thibetans, who
apparently thought they had someintention
of defiling the sanctuary of the great
Lama. They explained that they had no
designs on Shassa and asked to bo allowed
to proceed, but they `t ere kept waiting
while a party went to the capital, eight
days' journey and return, and secured the
necessary permission.
Tho Captain and his companion have
brought back 200 specimens of butterflies
and flowers gathered on the elevated lains,
and many speeimens of animal life. 'When
the story of their expedition is written it
will add materially to the world's knowledge

Mr. Henry Macombe, Leyland St.,
Blackburn, London, Eng., states that his
little girl fell and struck her knee against
a curbstone. The knee began to swell,

what doctors call " white swelling." She
was treated by the best medical men, but
grew worse. Finally

completely reduced the swelling, killed the pain and curved her.
