FREYAXJCNCE OF IIX-HEALTK.
Ill-health is a very matter-of-fact
affair it is no uncertain and problemat
ical condition. The necessity, at times,
for medical treatment is as evident and
pressing as any other necessity, and
it is for this reason that we would
earnestly caution our readers against
the use of any hut the most approved
remedies. Irreparable injury is often
done by placing confidence in medi
cines which, although new and preten
tious, are often worthless. It is the
almost inevitable failure of these com
pounds that throws discredit upon phar
macy and medical science in general.
Physicians are now of the opinion that
many diseases are the result of a morbid
condition of the blood, either through
inheritance or contagion, and that the
only rational and effective way of cur
ing these complaints is to produce a
radical change in the vital fluid. The
prevalence, for example, of scrofula is
the most prolific cause of consumption.
A specific that expels the hereditary
taint of scrofula, from the blood is,
therefore, a preventive of consumption.
That Ayer's Sarsaparilla has repeated
ly proved itself such a specific is a
well-known fact that cannot be too fre
quently and urgently proclaimed.
A diatimgaiahed physician has re
cently recorded his belief, founded
on the most satisfactory and reliable
evidence, that "the faithful use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla will thoroughly
eradicate scrofula." He further asserts :
"I have used it as an alterative and
blood-purifier, and must say that I
honestly believe it to be the best blood
medicine ever compounded." This tes
timony, which has been re-affirmed by
hundreds of others, should be sufficient
to induce all who are of scrofulous habit
to resort, without delay, to. the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Another malady very prevalent in the
United States is catarrh. This is also a
blood disease, and one of the most stub
born with which physicians have to con
tend. We have been repeatedly as
sured, however, that the persistent use
of Ayer's Sarsaparilla effectually ex
pels from the system this most dis
gusting and dangerous complaint. In
a word, the way to health is through
thepurification of the blood which
nourishes the whole system. Try Ayer'fl
Sarsaparilla.

Mr. Durfee, clerk of the senate commit
tee on finance, which had charge of the
bill for the senate, has compiled a complete
list of the changes, which is presented here
with. It has been a work of great labor,
requiring an expert knowledge of the tar
iff. The first figures in each case are
those of the McKinley bill; the last those
of the law in force aince the revision of
1883. As the change in many instances
has been from ad valorem to specific, it
will be seen that per cent, is in many cases
only used in the figures for the old law:

CHANGES IN THE FREE LIST.
In the free list the following changes are
made:
Animals imported for breeding purposes
must be of pure blood of a recognized
breed and duly registered in the book of
record established for that breed. The old
law admitted such animals on proof satis
factory to the secretary of the treasury;
also the teams of persons comin? into the
United.States from foreign countries.
Wild animals intended for exhibition in
zoological collections for scientific and ed
ucational purposes, and not for sale or
profit, are also admitted free.
The provision providing for tho return
free of duty of articles of American manu
facture once sent out of the country is ex
tended to make its terms more explicit
and to prevent fraud.
Bolting cloths to come in free must not
be suitable for manufacture into wearing
nppareL
Straw braids, etc., for making or orna
menting hats nr.d bonnets dutiable at 20
per cent are added.
Cotton waste, or flocks, is made free.
Precious stones other than diamonds.
rough or uncut, glaziers' and engravers'
diamonds not set, and watch jewels are in
cluded.
Free eggs ate limited to those of birds.
fish and insects.
Fashion plates engraved on cotton are
made free.
The provision about fish which stands
in the old law, "Fresh for immediate con
sumption," reads, "Fish, the product of
American fisheries, and fresh or frozen fish
(excepting salmon) caught in fresh waters
by American vessels or with nets or other
devices owned by citizens of the United
States."
The following are added to the free list:
Currants, dates, jute, jute butts, sisal
grass, sunn, other textile grasses, unman
ufactured grease, sour orange juice, paper
stock and other waste, phosphate for other
than fertilizing purposes, potash; seeds and
bulbous roots, not edible; sugars under
No. 16 Dutch standard, nnd all forms of
sugar and molasses below that grade; tar
and pitch, tobacco stems, turpentine;
nickel and nickel matte, with this proviso:
That ores of nickel and nickel matte, con
taining more thaq 10 per cent of copper,
shall pay a duty of K cent a pound on the
copper contained therein.
The following provisos are Inserted re
specting the subjects named: The term
"periodicals" shall be understood to em
brace only unbound or paper covered pub
lications, containing current literature of
the day and issued regularly at stated peri
ods, as weekly, monthly or quarterly.
The term "regalia" shall be held to em
brace only such insiguia of rank, or office,
or emblems as may bo worn upon the per
son or borno in the hand during public ex
ercises of the society or institution, and
shall not include articles of furniture or
fixtures, or of regular wearing ap
parel not personal property of individu
als. There are numerous restrictions
made in the list confining the articles
named to their unmanufactured state
in order to cnaoie tnem to come witn
in the law. All raw or unmanufactured
articles not named in the act shall pay a
duty of 10 per cent All manufactured ar
ticles, 20 per cent
In nearly all tho cases cf change from
ad valorem to specific duties the change is
an increase as tho article has declined in
price since the first duty was placed on it.
.Many ingenious calculations have been
made as to the proportion of total imports
which come in free under the McKinley
bill, some placing the amount as high as
one-half and others nt less than a third;
but it is impossible to estimate it with auy
exactness, as nothing but experience will
show how much the import of any article
will increase or decrease by reason of low
ering or raising the duty. The new bill
contains many minute provisions as to the
method of its administration too numer
ous to cite here and not interesting to the
general reader.

London, Oct. 21 It is the
opinion of commentators upon the
Hallo Socialist congrsss that the meet
iug has effected but little for the ad
vancement of the socialist c mse, but
that it proves that the Socialists are in
