WHAT IS THE REASON I

the reason? - As long ago as 1879
the product of that State was
about 27,000 hogsheads, and in
the interval since she has largely

very largely into the tobacco

so, however, respecting a cotton
factory, for that is indispensi
ble to our prosperity, while

see the folly of standing in our

Throughout the entire trip
thus far, the President has met
with ovation after ovationaite
calculated to daze an ordinary
individual ; but he has discern

excercise in the jway of plaudits
and praise. At St. Louis, while
the crowds were, pressing to give
him a ''shake" an old lady made
a desperate effort to .. hug the
President but the pressure was
so reat that slje was forced to
relinquish her purpose. Never

nothing to do with such gather

near Jackson Springs last week.
Mr. Stephen Thomas was pre
paring to kill a hog, and had
heated water and put it a bar

the hog. One of his little chil
dren about two years old was
playing around him and as Mr.
Thomas turned away for a mo-
man t the child pitched headfore-.
most into the said ing water. Mr
Thomas drew the child out as
quickly as possible, but as he
did so the skin peeled off its less

many minutes.

F I live in th m:Jst of the malarial dis
tricts of Mar? land, near the city of
Washington, and an exposed to all the
dangerous influences of the impure air
iand water of that region.
p Being naturally of a strong consti
tution, I had frequently boasted that
no chills and fever or other malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con
dition in which I found myself six
months ago. I first noticed that I did
not feel so -sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. 1 felt tired ana
enervated. Soon I noticed a distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in die afternoon, in
creasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling .with profuse gaping bu
maae its appearance ncn my
always clear as a bell, would feel heavy
and I began to have headaches.
The cold stage was marked with chat
tering of the teeth, severe rigors passed
over me, and no amount of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was
succeeded in turn by thefever, in which
I seemed to be burning up, the con
gestion in my head produced a violent
pain in the frontal portion and a heat
ed sensation of the eyelids, with an in
describable aching of the lower limbs.
Nausea and vomiting occurred with
severe retchings, and when the parox
ysms passed off I was thoroughly pros
trated by a weakness that was felt in
every part of me.
I drugged myself with quinine,' and
obtained some relief. But my respite
was of brief duration. I was now so
much reduced that I could hardly walk
"1. m
or stand upnernt. My disease soon
culminated in a continued malarial fe
ver which kept me closely confined for
about a week. I became exceedingly
depressed and melancholy, so much so
that I lost interest in my work, and,
indeed, scarcely cared what happened
to me.
During all this time, it must be un
derstood that I did not nesrlect medical
treatment. AW the most powerful
remedies were tried, such as liquid ar
senate of potash, valeriante of iron,
mercury, bromide of potissium, chlo
ride of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni
dia, quinine and several others. All
this I did under the advice of eminent
physicians.
It was while I was in this deplorable,
condition that the claims made for
Kaskine, the new quinine, as a.specific
for malaria, were first brought to my
attention. I knew nothing of itsvalue
to justify my having any confidence in
It, but as everything else had failed I
deemed it my duty to try it, so I began
its use, and its prompt and radical ef
fects were of the nature of a revelation
to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is a
fact that after only a few days' use of
Kasktne all the leading symptoms in.
my case were decidedly abated or
f eased altogether; and in a few weeks
(rom the time I took the first dose I
was cured. - -: "
This was about the first of January,
and since then I have experienced nq
recurrence of the malarial symptoms
n any form. A remedy of such ex
ceptional virtue for the cure of malaria
,ught to be commended and univer
sally made known. I have therefore
urged it upon the attention of my
friends, several of whom have used it
with like good results in every case,
and it is with the greatest pleasure
nd sincerity that I comment Kaskine
Jo sufferers from malaria everywhere.
