HALL, 217 Genessee St., Lockport, N.Y, says: # Over thirty years ago, I remember hearing my father describe the wonder~ ful curativé effects of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral During a recent attack of La Grippe, which assumed the form of a catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accom panied by an aggravating cough,®I used various remedies and prescriptions. 'While some of these medicines partially alleviated the coughing during the day, none of them afforded me any relief from that spasmodic action of the lungs which would seize me the moment I attempted to lie down at night, After ten or twelve such nights, I was Nearly in Despair, and had about decided to sit up all night in my easy chair, and procure what sleep I could in that way. It then oc curred to me that I had a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I took a spoonful of this preparation in a little water, and was able to lie down without coughing. In a few moments, I fell asleep, and awoke in the morning greatly refreshed and feeling much better. I took a teaspoonful of the Pec- toral every night for a weel, then grad- ually decreased the dose, and in two weels my cough was cured." Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Prepared by Dr. J. 0.

There are others who will igi t that the latter quasities ust be then uy the meusure nud index of the 'I'hese questions may be left to Bat now that Mr. Gladstone's active carver is finally closed, no generous mind can fail to recognize is unique historic vade concerning ils moral and politcal complexion, To say thuj Mr, Gladstone is the greatest Kuglistmaun of his time is to raise questions of comparison which conitenipurary judgment is locompetent to settle, But-his personal record is unquestionably unique. No other man ws been four times Prime Minster of Eugland. No other man can reckon 60 years since he eutered the ser- vice of the bwin and more toun 60 years in the service of the State, No other man hus led the House of Com- C of First Minister of the Crown in his 85th year, No contemporary has left so broad und indelible a wark ou the whole $0 commanding and so abiding an infu- | ence on legislation, administration and debate, Above all, no wan of his time, and few nien of any time, have display- ed to the world so puissant und versatile ructer 50 compacied of higl Jofry ambitions, rare person: digiity, remarkable chu pi Nn unlique hi | os ing wnd indefwtigatle indust bounded enthusiasin, passionate earnest ness of conviction and action, aud ex- traordinaty powers of expression pro-" longed of all these gifts aid aptitudes, little abated in the fineness of their tem- per and hutle dimaied in the ULriliancy of their dgsplay, at an age far beyond tive allotted span of wan, So far us Lis own fame is concerned-- and, many will add, the welfare of his country is concerned--his work so fur as political resurrcciion afer 1875 wus destined to undo much that his previous Some of iis | greatest political achievements were | those which preceded his rise to the firs place in the State, Fis first 'Minisury was his greatest, and had his career end ed at its close it would have placed him in the forefront of the natiou's states. men. He hus retained to the lust the witchery of his personal influence, the enthusiasm of conviction, the audacity of will and purpose, the marvelous adroituess; us Lowell said, *'when occu sions 1ise, life long convictions to ex- teinporize, which have made hiov the | most accomplished of Parlinmneutury | bunds, the most consummate of demo- | cratic oppoi tunities, and have given him | | & remurkalle ascendancy over the | | hearts and wills uf so many of his | countrymen, But cau it be suid that in | these latter years Lis siatesmansnip bas | { been equal to his opportunities? In our | judgment Mr, Gladstone's course since 1880 has been downward, tortuous, aud | 1 the end disastrous. Be its inner cou- gisteiicy what it may, it has seeined to plain men to be guided by uo higher aim than that of keeping ever ou the crest of the popular wave, Thestalesmiun bus been absorbed in: the demagogue; the pupil of Peel aud the colleague of Abeideen has descended to the level of "the hl Parlinmentary Hand." Never theless the decline of Mr. Gladstone's statesmauship leaves him still a man of infinite variety and quite unrivalled per- genal ascendoncy. Lue course of public affairs may run smoother for his retire { ment; it will certainly run duller for the loss of his titanic inipulses and inex-- haustible fecundity of initiative aud re source. There liave been greater orators than Mr. Gladstone. There has never been a greater Parliamentary debater, Iu was said of Peel that he played on the louse of Commons like un old fiddle. Mr. Gladstone played on it like a whole orchestra. 'There wis no tone in that assembly that he could not evoke at wil, no mooud with which he could not in- stantly and intimately identify himself. 4 "Phe note of Lis oratory was uot literary (xcellence--in which he has liad many superiors--but a glamor or persuasion which was intensely dramatic in its esseiice and lirgely puysicul iu its acces. suries, Its secret lay not only in what a brilliant critic has called that strange magic which resides "in the mere sound of some voices the calculated cir of their modulation, the magnetisn of aye, of expression. and even of gesture," but, above all, in that rave sensibility of dramatic perception which at ouce ex- ults and effuces the mere personality of the speaker and enables lim to persuade his audience, mot, indeed, that he is speaking the words of truth and wisdom in the avstract, but that he is for the time being the embodiment und conspm- mate presentation of their inuefimost feelings and convictions. Fow orators have ever wielded this magic weapon of debate with Mr. Gladstone's mastery. If the nobler features of his personality have disappeared in the witchery. of the performance, if the higher statesm- ship of his prime has given place to the arts of the dimugogues concealed even from Limself by the traditions and as: sociations of lile devoted tw lotiy per- sonal ideals and the conduct ul ereat affuirs, that, ulter all, is the pity of it, bout two months ago I was nearly wiid with headaches.
