FEPLYTO KNIGHTOF LABOR STRICTURES
The Law and the " Noble Order "—Same of
the Violations of Law and
the Penalties.
To Tlic News.
Houston, Hay 21, 1886.—When, in speak-
ing of Mr. T. V. Powderly I said, " in my
opinion lie is a liar because he is a coward,"
I did not mean to call him a " fighting lie."
It was but a terse, and perhaps harsh,
expression, for the idea that, terrified and
alarmed by the bloody consequences which
followed the practical application of his
social labor theories, his veracity was
overwhelmed by his apprehension o£ per-
sonal responsibility to an outraged people
<tnd violated law.
Like the leading rascal iu a gang of
gamins, when the mischief was done, he
was the first to cry out " it wasn't me, it
was Hans Tuyfel, Teddy O'Kafferty and
Johnny Crapeau."
And, as if to confirm all that has been
charged against the "noble order of
Knights of Labor " and T. Vicarious Pow-
derly, Ksq., their head center, about two
or three days after the disastrous culmina-
tion in Chicago, we behold a call for a con-
vention of delegates throughout the whole
country, to meet on the £>th instant, for a
revision and reform of the principles and
methods of the order.
An arbitration between parties only one
of whom can be compelled to perform the
award, would strike the ordinary citizen as
being rather a one-sided affair, and as the
award of arbitrators has no more efficacy
than the judgment of a court, it is difficult
to see what the Knights of Labor could lose
or anybody else gain by a judgment against
them. A judgment against property can
be enforced by an execution and sale, but
what process can compel a man to perform
a contract for his personal services?
It is very natural to conclude that the
Knights of Labor would favor arbitration,
but it is hardly to be supposed that their
employers would " cry after it."
Failing to get all they demanded by arbi-
(ration, the strike can of course be resorted
to. and, in case employers should prove ob-
durate, that industrial anesthetic, the
gentle boycot, could be applied.
Heretofore, in order to render these mild
remedies effectual, it has been necessary to
violate the following stato laws, but as it
was done in behalf of the " noble knights "
and " for the elevation of labor," no friend
of the laboring man, it seems, is allowed to
complain, much less suggest the vindica-
tion of the lav/, viz:
An unlawful assembly is the meeting of
three or more persons with intent to aid
each other by violence or in any other
manner, either to commit an offense or ille
gaily to deprive any person of any right or
to disturb him in the enjoyment thereof.
If the purpose be to prevent any person
from pursuing any labor, occupation or
employment, or to intimidate any person
from following his daily avocation, or to
interfere in any maimer with ths labor or
employment of another, the punishment
thall be by fine not exceeding £)U0.
If the persons unlawfully assembled to-
gether do or attempt to do any illegal act,
all those engaged in such illegal act are
guilty of riot.
If any person by engaging im a riot shall
prevent any other person from pursuing
any labor, occupation or employment, or
intimidate any other person from following
his daily avocation, or interfere in any
manner with the labor or employment of
another, he shall be punished by confine-
ment in the county jail not less than six
months nor more than one year.
The use of any unlawful violence upon
the person of another with intent to inijure_
him is an assault and battery.
If any person shall assault another with
intent "to murder, it is a penitentiary of-
fense.
False imprisonment is the willful de-
tention of another against his consent by
assault, by violence to person, by threats
or by any other means which restrains the
party so detained from removing from one
place to another, as he may see proper.
If any person shall mingle or cause to be
mingled any noxious potion or substance
with any drink, food or medicine, or shall
willfully poison or cause to be poisoned
any spring, well, cistern or reservoir of
water with intent to kill or injure any other
person, he shall be punished by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary.
All murder committed by poison, starv-
ing. torture or in the perpetration of rob-
bery or with express malice, is of the first
degree.
Arson is the willful burniug of any build-
ing, edifice or structure inclosed with walls
and covered. *
If any person shall willfully burn any
bridge used as a public highway, it is a
felony or punished by fine not exceeding
<5000.
If any person shall willfully place any
obstruction upon the track of any railroad,
or remove any rail therefrom, or in any
other way injure such road, or do any dam-
age to any railroad or car whereby the life
of any person might be endangered, he is
guilty of felony, and if the life of any per-
Eon is lost by such unlawful act it is
murder.
If any person shall willfully or mischiev-
ously injure or destroy any property, real
or personal, of any description whatever,
he shall be punished by fine not exceeding
ijdXICO.
If any person, by assault or by violence,
or by "putting in fear of life or bodily in-
jury, shall fraudulently take from the pos-
session of another any property with intent
to appropriate the same to his own use, or
if any person, by threatening to do some
illegal act injurious to the character, per-
son or property of another, shall fraudu-
lently induce the person so threatened to
deliver to him any property, with intent to
appropriate the same to his own use, he is
guilty of robbery.
A conspiracy is an agreement entered
into between two or more persons to com-
mit murder, robbery, arson, etc.
If any person shall threaten to take the
life of or to inflict upon any human being
serious bodily injury, he is guilty of a mis-
demeanor, punished by a fine of not less
than one hundred nor more than two thou-
sand dollars,and imprisonment not exceed-
ing one year.
I did not include several minor offenses
such as obscene language, etc.
The violation of the most if not all the
foregoing laws in the enforcement of their
methods, will not occasion any anxiety or
alarm, however, when we remember the
meek and submissi re manners heretofore
exhibited by the individual members of the
•rder "for which the order is not responsi
- ble" of course.
An enumeration of the purposes of the
cider, and to secure which their methods
are put in operation by the individual mem-
bers so that the order may achieve the re-
sults and avoid the responsibility, would
occupy too much space; but as an example
of their quality I will mention a few of
them. They declare:
The order of Knights of Labor is
formed for the purpose of organizing
and directing the power of the indus-
trial masses not as a political party, for it
is more: in it are crystallized sentiments
and measures for the benefit of the whole
people, but it should be borne in mind,
when exercising the right of suffrage, that
most of the objects herein set forth can
only be obtained through legislation, and
that it is the duty of all to assist in nomi-
nating and supporting with their votes
only such candidates as will pledge their
support to those measures, regardless of
party.
Which goes to show that there is " no
politics in it."
In order to secure these results, we de-
mand at the* hands of the State, among
other things:
The abrogation of all laws that do not
bear equally upon capital and labor, and
2he removal of unjust technicalities, delays
and discriminations In the aImitistratioa
of justice.
The recognition, by incorporation, of
trades unions, orders, and such otlie.* asso-
ciations as may be organized by the work-
ing masses to improve their condition, etc.
'i'he enactment of laws to compel corpo-
rations to pay their employes weekly, in
lawful money, for the labor of the preced-
ing week, and giving mechanics aud la-
borers a first lien upon the product of their
labor to the extent of their full wages, to
the exclusion of material men aud all others,
of course.
The abolition of the contract system ou
national, state and municipal works.
The enactment of laws providing for ar-
bitration between employers and employed,
and to enforce the decision of the arbi-
trators.
To prohibit the hiring out of convict la-
bor.
That a graduated income tax be levied.
And we demand at the hand of Congress:
The establishment of anational monetary
system, in which a circulating medium, iu
necessary quantity, shall issue direct to the
people, without the intervention of banks;
that all the national issue shall be full legal
tender in payment of all debts, public and
private; and that the government shall not
guarantee or recognize any private banks
or create any banking corporations.
That interest-bearing bonds, bills of credit
or notes shall never be issued by the gov-
ernment, but that, when need arrises, the
emergency shall be met by the issue of
legal tender, non-interest-bearing money.
That the importation of foreign labor
under contract be prohibited.
That, in connect ion with the postoffice the
government shall organize financial ex-
changes. safe deposits, aud facilities for de-
posit of the savings of the people in small
sums.
That the government shall obtain posses-
sion, by purchase, under the right of emi-
nent domain, of all telegraphs, telephones,
and railroads, and that hereafter no char-
ter or license be issued to any corporation
for the construction or operation of any
means of transporting intelligence, passen-
gers, or freight.
And while making the foregoing demands
upon the state and national governments
we will endeavor to associate our own
labors—
To establish co-operative institutions such
as will supersede the wage system, by the
introduction of a co-operative industrial
system.
To secure for both sexes equal pay for
equal work.
To shorten the hours of labor by a gen-
eral refusal to work for more than eight
hours.
To persuade employers to agree to arbi-
trate all differences "which may arise be-
tween them and their employes, in order
that the bonds of sympathy between them
may be strengthened, and that strikes may
be rendered unnecessary.
" Persuade " is good.
These are some of the ends proposed to
be accomplished through the methods I
have recounted by tho noble order of
Knights of Labor, whose very name is an
insult and whose existence is a menace to
democratic government in America,
As a citizen of Texas, I have used the
liberty that is mine in speaking of the
Knights of Labor. I have not spoken iu
anger, and have set down naught in malice.
I have no apologies to offer and no retrac-
tions to make.
I believe I have done the State some ser-
vice by calling public attention to the dan-
ger which threatens us.
I feel able to bear the venomous assaults
that have been heaped upon me for daring
to exercise the right and perform the duty
of a good citizen.
I have spoken what I believe to be for the
good of the Knights of Labor, and what 1
know to be for the good of the State, and I do
not propose to be driven from mv purpose
by threats of personal harm or intimidated
by lying slanders.
Whenever the character of the assailant
and manner of assault make it appear
necessary I will try and be ready promutly
to defend the one or vindicate the other.

THE POWER OF LABOR,
Scire Reflections on the State of the Country
from a Knight-of-Labor Standpoint.
To The News.
Galveston, Tex., May 22, 1886.—From
present indications it is manifestly evident
that organized labor will be an important
factor in the future government of the
United Stales.
This opinion will be strengthened by
noticing the unity which existed among or-
ganized labor when the great power of
monopoly, ably assisted by learned, intelli-
gent and eloquent friends, and press,
brought into requisition all forces at com
mand, and fiercely arrayed them against
it, while unprepared and dormant until
disturbed, but when once aroused exhibit-
ed. although in its incipiency, amazing
strength in a manner not to be disregarded.
Despite the strenuous efforts and almost
boundless influence of aggregated wealth
to disintegrate it, a victory has been
achieved by having its unity forever pre-
served beyond the power of dissolution.
Strengthened by large additions to its ranks
and extolled by public opinion for prompt
otdience to a mandate ordering a cessation
of hostilities, and consenting with a calm
resignation of submission, to a fair and
impartial investigation of the causes which
led to the conflict. For years there has
been a suspicion almost amounting to con-
viction, that monopoly, by evil and corrupt
practices, has secured control of every de-
partment of the government. This suspi-
cion is strengthened by events which trans-
pired (even in Texas) duriug the last seven
or eight years, and has destroyed the con-
fidence of the toiling masses in the honesty
of legislation and the justice of the courts
of law. The existence of the republic de-
pends solely upon the confidence and good
will of the people and their faith in an im-
partial administration of the laws, and
whenever this confidence and faith are de-
stroyed the very foundations and princi-
ples of the republic are seriously under-
mined and the stability of the government
endangered.
Within the period alluded to Texas mo-
nopolistic legislation has permitted cattle
kings, grass barons, foreign and domestic
syndicates, convict labor contractors, for-
eign ditto, to accumulate immense fortunes,
with astonishing rapidity, to the exclusion,
oppression, impoverishment and degreda-
tion of her toiling sons, who represent SO
per cent, of her population, and who stand
idly by but horror-stricken at the encroach-
ments made upon their rights, but made
lawful by monopolistic legislation.
Notable among the encroachments com-
plained of is the policy of leasing the
school, university and%sylum lands,which,
with the unsurveyed puolic domain, were
dedicated by law to the public school fund,
and the public debt fund, in equal moieties.
Major J. T. lirackenridge,writing uDon this
subject, under the heading, Evils o'f Land-
lordism, states " there are many circum-
stances connected with the ille-
gal and exclusive occupancy of
those lands that serve to prevent a
calm consideration of the propriety of the
lease policy. Notable among the causes is
the tyrannical and contumelious practices
by some wealthy stock-raisers and compa-
nies, who are reported as defying the law
and refusing to pay rentals, as fixed by the
land board." Further on in his remarks
he tests the lease policy by submitting a
proposition which may be stated in a syllo-
gism. He says: " Any governmental poli-
cy that violates the material rights of man-
kind to occupancy of the land, or deprives
mankind iu general of support, or decreases
their capacity to maintain families, or keeps
them at a level from which they can not
rise, or causes distress or oppression, or
gives to the wealthy unlimited control over
the soil, or creates monopolies and weakens
the strength of the State, should be reject-
ed." Again, bv placiug convict and for-
eign contract labor in competition with
free American labor, seems to indicate that
the latter, by oppression, must be. by this
competition, reduced to poverty and after-
ward descend to crime. So that mono-
poly can satiate its great greed for wealth
by the means employed to accomplish the
result desired.
This oppression, begotten of avarice for
wealth, and madelawful by monopolistic le-
gislation, necessitated organization for the
education and protection of the tolling
masses of humanity, who rushed iu large
numbers and sought refuge under its pro-
tecting influences, and who now are edu-
cated up to a high standard of intelligence,
and prepared to go forth to do battle, not
with the bomb, not with the torch, not with
dynamite, sword or gun, but with the bal-
lot. John Dwybr.
THE CHICAGO CENSORSHIP.
Liberty of the Press Under tho Blue Pencil oi a
Chief of Police.
To Tho News.
Boerne, Tex., May IS, 1886.—Enclosed I
send you a clipping from the New York
Volkszeitung, a moderate socialistic paper
and bitterly opposed to the rantmgs of
Spies, Most, Parsons etc. The article sug-
gests the questions: Must the sacred rights
of American citizens, to-wit—The right to
assemble, the right of free speech, free
press, etc., be set aside for trivial causes'/
Is our form of government so weak that we
can not control a comparatively small num-
ber of people who threaten revolution with-
out resorting to the extraordinary meas-
ure of suppressing and gagging the press ?
I would like to see The News publish the
enclosed article and its comment thereon.
F. W. Schweppk.
men or cowards f
An Open Letter to the American Press:
On Tuesday last the Chicago police dis-
persed a meeting without warrant of law.
An unknown person threw a dynamite
bomb, killing a number of policemen. The
next morning every paper in the United
States brought the news that not only all
the editors and compositors of the anarch-
istic newspaper Arbeiter-Zeitung had been
arrested, out that by order of the mayor
that paper had been placed under the cen-
sorship of the chief of police, without whose
permission nothing was allowed to be pub-
lished.
This censorship was carried on for two
daysby the chief of police—Ebersold is the
name of the fellow—hence, like the murder-
ing Mayor Traumer, of Milwaukee, a Ger-
man-American, praised be the Lord on
high! This censorship would be in force
to day if all the proprietors of printing
establishments in Chicago had not refused,
through sheer fright, to print the paper, on
which account its further publication be-
came impossible.
How this chief police ruffian of Chicago
carried on his censorship may be seen in
the following special Herald dispatch of
yesterday:
" Ever since the troubles of last Tuesday
night the paper has been under the censor-
ship of Superiutendent of Police Ebersold,
and its proof slips have been carefully ex-
amined. Neebe argued that the police
would not dare interfere with his editorials.
When the paper was ready to be printed
Chief Ebersold inspected it. He used his
blue pencil in earnest. Among the matter
forbidden were the following paragraphs:
' " The capitalistic press has been full of
gloating over the temporary suppression
of the workingmen's organ and has
damned it in the most forcible language.
Nevertheless the Arbeiter-Zeitung, during
its ten years' existence, has not been so
full of brutality as the capitalistic papers
within the last two days. If the public will
wait they will see that the apparent crime
will ultimately appear in a different light.
' " In all the discussions concerning the
affair of Tuesday night the capitalistic
press has not been able to show that the
police had one whit of authority under the
law to disperse the gathering on the Hay-
market. The Herald on Wednesday morn
ing stated that even when the police crossed
Randolph streetthey seized their clubs with
a tighter grasp, preparatory for an assault
on that little assemblage, which was com-
posed in greater part of innocent specta-
tors. Comment is unnecessary." '
Chief Ebersold objected to the term "ap-
parent crime" in the first editorial and to
the general tone of the second.
One thing we will say right here to our
esteemed comrades of the American press,
and that is, that the excluded parts would
not have been objected to by the Dress cen-
sors of Germany, or even Russia."
But how this chief of police carried on
his censorship is immaterial. That he did
carry it on, that a servant of the sovereign
and free people, acting under the constitu-
tion of the United States, should have lent
himself to such a gross infraction of that
fundamental law, that is the main issue.
Article 1, of the amendments to the con-
stitution of the United States, says:
"Congress shall make no law abridging
the freedom of speech or of the press."
As long as this article is in the constitu-
tion every one who interferes with the
liberty of the press or establishes a censor-
ship over it is guilty of high treason
against the personal rights and liberties of
the citizen.
It may be urged that at the time there ex-
isted an exceptional state of affairs in Chi-
cago, and that the continued appearance of
the " anarchistic incendiary sheet " would
have endangered the peace of the entire
city.
What a wretched argument! In the first
place, it is not true that in Chicago the con-
ditions are such that a general uprising
could have taken place in consequence of
the explosion of a single dynamite bomb.
That is the old argument which has been
used from time immemorial by all oppres-
sors anel tyrants, in order to crush every
move for liberty. " The maintenance of
order requires it," was the cry, even of
those against whom your ancestors have
raised the bulwark of your own constitu-
tion.
Just herein should lie the strength of free
institutions, that they are sustained, even
in stormy times, and elo not tumble down
like a card house. When the latter takes
place, the temple of liberty rests on a
foundation of sand and can be toppled over
at the first occasion by any " country saver "
who may see fit to do so.
Are you not aware of that, you represent-
atives of " public opinion " of this country?
Or, if you know it, are you afraid to speak
out? Are you still free men, or has the
curse of wage writing, or of habitual intel-
lects'
ards?
ting,
lectual prostitution, changed you into co.v-
We know it and call your attention pub-
licly to the fact that the latter is the case,
that your liberty has become a lie long ago,
a mere thin disguise, a fraud and a sham,
under which vou protect your business in-
terests and which is thrown aside the mo-
ment there is the least danger to those in-
terests.
We know that, and we know that our ap-
peal will not be noticed because you would
be ashamed to answer. And yet we appeal
to you. Will you quietly stand by and see
that in this country, at the first pretext, the
whip of censorship is swung over von? Do
you want it so? Very well then! Then the
working class will know what to expect of
you and what to think of you. The hypo-
critical mask will be torn from your " Lib-
erty " forever and she will stand there not
as the goddess,but as a prostitute to mam-
mon !
A Significant Voice from Crockett.
To The News.
Crockett, May 22,1886.—The Hon. A. W.
Terrell shoots his wad at some of the best
citizens of Crockett in his Fort Worth
speech because they signed a set of reso-
lutions condemning lawlessness, etc. Does
the Hon. A W. Terrell approve of the meth-
ods adopted by the strikers, killing engines,
drawing spikes, derailing trains, poisoning
wells, etc ? When these things were being
done along the line of the Missouri Pacific
railroad did he define his position ? Has
he ever done so in any emergency calling
for the individual patriotism of the citizen?
Where was he when Governor Coke made
his gallant stand against I". J. Davis iu
1884 ? Did he "wash his hands of the whole
affair " and retire to a place of security?
By the way, the questionis frequently asked
here if Judge Terrell is making his race as
an Independent or as a Democrat,?
It is a humiliating spectacle to witness
one aspiring to be elected United States
Senator by an appeal to the sympathies
and prejudices of a secret organization
whose acts, as manifested to the public,
characterize it as of lawless tendencies, but
it would be still more humiliating to wit-
ness his success. Citizen.
THEY WORK NOT FOR THEMSELVES.
The Failure of Strikos the Best Thing that Can
Happen to Laborers—Edgeworth
to Powderly.
To Tho News.
Guntersvili.e, Ala., May 15, 1886.—It is
doubtless a doleful descent that the hire-
ling has made from his eminent position
as a monkey, from the tree where he used
to rob birds' nests, for now it is his turn to
he robbed, and this habit of the noble ani-
mal is as vivicious as ever, on the Olympian
heights of plutocracy. Cast into tho wage
pool he must swim through it; capital must
be served somehow, aud the best service it
can render in return is to make strikes as
difficult as they are futile, so that labor's
life-force, dammed back, may rise to_ the
channel of co-operation and for that social
purpose husband its scanty earnings. Con-
tracts with mutual advantages between
different classes of producers will then re-
place the exploitation of producers by non-
producers; while dividends are allotted as
per contract, to the concurrent powers,
labor, capital and science—three faculties,
but which may be uniteel in the same per
sons, at least in their corporate relation
ship of interests. The classical "Sic vos
nonvobis" (Ye work not for yourselves),
persists, salt as life and grim as death, for
all victim proelucers: but the sphinx has
invented a new problem for labor to solve
or be devoured.
Our modern guilds ignore feudal alle-
giance, and even the military duties, still
so onerous in Europe, but here, as there,
they must deal with a monster unknown to
our forefathers, a Frankenstein minus the
heart, whose multitudinous organs, in full
blast, would scare cyclops and centaurs
and dragons back into primeval night. Our
love of a monster is machinery, aud the
problem of the sphinx is how to make a
good housewife of a very tyrannical mis-
tress, the taming of the shrew on a pretty
large scale. Labor must own it or be
owned by it.
When the artisan owning his tools, and
proving by their skillful use a nobler pur-
pose than contempt of death in arts that
make life beautiful, confronted the mailed
baron, their differences bore mainly upon
character and manners.
Now, to the
and control
tal adds an
means of productton aud the vehicles of
distribution. WaviDg the chances of ex
propriation, revolutionary chances in
which ballot and bullet may be again as
closely allied as iu I860, labor, whose
journey through the economic wilderness
has buried untold generations, still sees
through the mist of its tears Canaan in
possession of Canaanites, Hittites and
Abusites. Thus we bring up again upon
the natural right of labor to the soil.

Swift's Snowstorm.
Bogart, in Chicago Herald.
" Talking about the signal service and its
bad luck in the weather prophesying busi-
ness," said a station agent, " let me tell you
a little story about Swift, superintendent of
telegraph on the Rock Island. Some time
Inst winter the signal service people told
Swift they would furnish him their bulletins
if he would undertake to send them out and
have them posted along the road. Swift
accepted the offer, and thought it a big
thing, lie had instructions sent out to all
operators concerning posting of the weather
bulletins, and felt so proud of the new ser-
vice that he went round bragging what a
good thing it would be. In a few days the
signal service predicted a very heavy snow-
storm, and Swift sent word to the superin-
tendents, suggesting that they had better
make arrangements in advance to keep the
tracks clear of the unusual fall of snow
sure to come.
"'Now, you see,'he said, 'how valuable
this service is to a railroad. When that
snowstorm comes we'll be prepared for it,
and not a wheel will be stopped.
" Instructions were sent out to station
agents and section bosses, and in some
places gangs of extra laborers were hired
to shovel snow. But the snow storm didn't
seem to be in a hurry. The day passed as
bright anel clear as one could ask for; the
light following was equally pleasant, and
the next day started in as clear as a morn-
ing in June, with no sign of snow to be dis-
cerned.
" The boys couldn't stand it any longer.
First one sent almessenger to Swift inquir
ing ' Where is that snow storm?' and then
another took it up and sent in his question.
In a few hours Swift received about five
hundred messages from Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri and Minnesota, Inquiring where that
snow storm was, and when it might be ex-
pected to arrive at the station of the inqui-
rer. One of the boys wanted his storm sent
by express, and another asked what snow
looked like, any way. In this way they
kept it up until poor Swift was ' knocked
out of the box,' as the base ball people say,
and after giving orders that the signal ser-
vice reports should be fired from the road,
he went home and stayed there for thirty-
six hours." _

B. Knight, while digging a post-hole, struck
a copper box about nine inches square,with

alone, years ago, in an old log cabin over

THE WORST SORE HEAD.
Have been in the drug and medicine business
twenty-live years. Have been selling your
Cuticura Remedies since they came west.
They lead all others in their line. We could
not write nor could von print all we have heard
said in favor of the Cuticura Remedies. One
year ago the CUTICURA and Sow cured a little
girl in our house of the worst sore head we
ever saw, and the Resolvent and Cuticura
are now curing a young gentleman of a sore
leg, while the physicians an-trying to have it
amputated. It will save his leg and perhaps
his life. Too much can not bp said in favor of
Cuticura Remedies. S. IS. SMITH & BUG.

which no human skill seems able to
alleviate is the condition of thou-
sands who as yet know nothing of
that new and elegant antidote to
pain and iuJlaiiimation, the CUfi-
cliu Anti-1'ain Plaster.
THE BEST
boon ever bestowed upon man is perfect
health, and the true way to iusure health
is to purify your blood with Aycr's Sarsa-
parilla. Mrs. Eliza A. Clough, 34 Arling-
ton st., Lowell, Mass., writes: "Every
winter and spring my family, including
myself, uso several bottles of Aycr's Sar-
saparilia. Experience has convinced me
that, as a powerfu;
Bmm
purifier, rer? rr.un'r superior any
other preparation ©?. SarsapavAil
persons ol scrofulous or consumptive ten-
dencies, and especially delicate children,
are suro to bo greatly benefited by its
use." J. W. Starr, Laconln,Iown, writes:
"For years I was troubled with Scrofu-
lous complaints. I tried several different
preparations, which did mo. little, if any,
good. Two bottles of Aycr's Snrsapa-
rilla effected a complete cure. It Is my
opinion that this medicine is tho best
blood
Purifier
of the day." C. E. Upton, Nashua, N. H.,
writes: " For a number of years I
was troubled with a humor in my eyes,
and unable to obtain relief until I com-
menced using Aycr's Sarsaparilla. I have
taken several bottles, am greatly bene-
fited, and believe it to be flic best of blood
purifiers." E. Harris, Creel City, Kamsey
Co., Dakota, writes: "I have been an
Intense sufferer, with Dyspepsia, for the
past three years. Six mouths ago I began
to use
AYER'S
Sarsaparilla
It has effected an entire cure, and I am
now as well as ever."
