ACID PHOSPHATE. Prepared according to the directions of Prof. E. N. HORSFORD. ESPECIALLY RECOMMENDED FOR Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Exhaustion, Headache, Tired Brain, And all Diseases arising from Indigestion and Nerve Exhaustion. This is not a compounded "patent medicine," but a preparation of phosphates and phosphoric acid in the form required by the system. It aids digestion without injury, and is a beneficial food and tonic for the brain and nerves. It makes a delicious drink with water and sugar only, and agrees with such stimulants as are necessary to take. Dr. E. W. HILL, Glens Falls, N. Y., says: "An excellent remedy for atonic dyspepsia, nervous and general debility, or any low state of the system." Dr. D. A. STEWART, Winona, Minn., says: "Entire satisfaction in cases of perverted digestion, loss of nerve-power, malnutrition and kindred ailments." Dr. G. H. LEACH, Cairo, Ill., says: "Of great power in dyspepsia, and nervous prostration." Descriptive pamphlet free. RUMFORD CHEMICAL WORKS, Providence, R. I. Beware of Substitutes and Imitations.

Dr. Shedd's 'Dogmatic Theology,' for example, has reached its second edition, while a fourth edition of Dr. Roswell Hitchcock's 'Eternal Atonement' has been called for. The first volume of Dr. Vincent's' Word Studies in the New Testament' has also gone into its second edition, and Dr. Ladd's What is the Bible?' has sold through two printings, with a third edition just ready.

ARTICLE I.-THE JANUARY "MESSAGES" ON ELECTION BRIBERY. TWENTY-THREE of our State Legislatures began their first annual or biennial sessions during the month of January and listened to messages from newly elected or retiring governors, or from both. No less than fourteen governors treated bribery at popular elections in a serious manner, a few made passing reference to the matter, and the governors of Massachusetts, Nevada, Nebraska, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina ignored the subject. Prominence is given to election bribery by the governors of Oregon, West Virginia, Tennessee, Delaware, California, Michigan, Rhode Island, Kansas, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Indiana. These States are here divided into three groups. The governors of the first four are democratic; those of the second four are republican; while the last group are known as the four doubtful States, of which two have republican and two democratic governors.
