HENRY W. WILLIAMS,
The Radical candidate for Supreme Judge, stands
upon a platform, in which occurs the following
language:
'•Resolved, That warned hy past misfortunes,
we ask that the Supreme Court of the State be
placed in haruiouy with the political opinions ot a
m 'jority of the people."
Thus, the Supreme Court, which is the final ar
biter between the weak and the strong, between
minorities and majorities, is to be swayed by polit
ical bias against the rights ot that portion of the
people irho may happen to be in the minority.
llave minorities no rights which majorities are
bound to respect? Nay, are not the fewest num
ber of people lawyers, or jurists, and is not often
the smallest minority right, on questions of law,
rather than the mass who have had no legal or ju
dicial education ? Who, therefore, could trust a
man as Supreme Judge, who will agree to substi
tute for his own deliberate judgment, the crude
opinions of the mob ?
Again,
HENRY W. WILLIAMS
is the candidate of a party which holds that a man
may repudiate his contract to pay a debt in gold
and silver, by paying the same in paper money,
thus actually making Government biuds worth
no more than ordinary paper money. This is re
pudiation. Who. therefore, will vote for 11. W.
Williams, and become a repudiationist ?

THE I.ATE ELECTIONS.
The radical newspapers are endeavor
ing to give their followers some crumbs
ofcomfort over the California election.
There were divisions in the party, they
tell us. There was great apathy, and
nearly all their candidates were ar
rant rascals. We will not deny that
apathy and disgust have overcome their
party, not merely in California, hut
everywhere else. Nor will we dispute
with our opponents about the charac
ter of their candidates; they know them
best. But, doubtless, they were as
good as the common run of them in
Pennsylvania. The explanation of their
defeat, however, is not quite satisfac
tory. The Radical candidate for Gov
ernor in Connecticut was Gen. Jos.
Hawley, a gallant soldier, and one of
the most popular men in the State.
Last year he was elected, yet his defeat
this Spring is decisive. In Maine, too,
the radical candidate for Governor was
Gen. Chamberlain, another popular
soldier, who was elected, hist year, by
upwards of twenty-seven thousand.
This year he barely escapes defeat, and
the Democrats have made enormous
gains, swinging some seven counties j
over to theirside. The same "apathy"
that caused defeat in California, it
seems, was at work in Maine and Con-
necticut, and will, without doubt, show i
itself in the fall elections, still more
significantly. The simple fact is, that J
the radical party is staggering under
the crushing weight of its violent and j
revolutionary legislation for the ex- ;
eluded States ; u.n.der its ignorant and
extravagant management of the pub- J
lie revenues; under the flagrant cor
ruptions that have marked the course
of its leaders in State and National leg
islation. Moderate men, everywhere,
have taken alarm, and will no longer j
aid in swelling a majority, which only
increases the arrogance and fury of the
party leaders. In October next, Penn
sylvania will give Radical faction its
coup de grace.
THE RE.IITV OF KECO.Vitßl'rriOl.
At the time of the passage of that se
ries of arbitrary and unconstitutional
measures, which the Radicals pleasant
ly call reconstruction acts, it was earn
estly urged by the friends of civil lib
erty, that they gave too much power to
every subaltern who had a taste for ex
ercising it. It was urged that it placed
the lives and liberties, the rights and
property, of every citizen in the South,
at the mercy of any insolent military
official who might be employed in car
rying it into effect. But we were told
that the citizen who felt himself injur
ed, or oppressed, could appeal to the
District Commander. We have seen
the effect of an appeal, in the recent
North Carolina case, when a subaltern
interrupted the process of the Supreme
Court of the United States. Gen. Sick
les promptly ratified the arbitrary act
of his inferior, setting hisown military
orders above the authority of the law,
and the decrees of its highest tribunals.
To carry an appeal from a subordinate
to his district commander is only a sol
emn farce, and is of as much practical
use, as it would be to complain of the
devil to his grand-mother.

We served up to our readers, last
week, from official sources, the disgust
ing details of radical corruption in our
Stale legislature. On glancing over
the shameful account of plunder, from
i the purloining of sealing-wax to the
peddling of prayers by pious radicals,
we imagined that it surpassed all ex
ample of political pilfering in this or
any other land. But we make, this
I week, an extract from Senate Docu
ment No. 53, certified by John W.
Forney, Secretary of the Senate. This
document rarely finds its way among
the people, their representatives kind
ly furnishing them with blatherskite
speeches and garden seeds instead.
The following are some of the details
given in the document referred to:
For pocket knives, 504 in num

logne, perfumed soaps, pomade, toilet i

list of miscellaneous articles sufficient,
to set up in the fancy lineall the Sena- !
tors' poor relations. We always knew j
that many of the Senators were addict- :
jed to clipping out editorials to make
up their brilliant speeches, but what
in the name of the knife-grinder, did
they want with upwards of seven hun
dred pairs of shears and seven thousand
pairs of scissors? When Zach Chandler,
the great radical from Michigan, wants
to treat his friends Ramsay and Nye,
the obsequious Secretary Forney is on
hand with a cork screw and the lem
ons, which go among miscellaneous ex
penditures. There are pomade and
eau decologne for the ambrosial locks
of the gifted Sumner; French kid
gloves and ivory card case for the
dainty Yates in his evening calls; gold
pens and perfumed note paper for all
our republican Sybarites. Each one
gets eight pocket-books worth two dol
lars and a half each, to carry off the
five thousand a year which he voted
himself; which is fourteen dollars for
every day in the year, including Sun
days, and probably more than thirty
dollars a day for the time actually em
ployed. When our farmers and labor
ing men, who are staggering beneath
an intolerable burthen of debt and tax
ation, scan this list, they will he able
to form some idea of where their mon
ey goes.
ELECTION DAY, Tuesday, Oct. 8.
Sometimes some would-be very smart
people do some very stupid things.
For instance : the Copperhead Attor
neys who forced a decision of the Court,
sustaining the law disfranchising De
serters in the face of an election.—ln
quirer.
Wouldn't the truth have served
your purpose as well ? The Court did
not "sustain" the disfranchising law,
but simply ruled that as no ma/ice on
thepartof liitchey, the election Judge,
was proved by the plaintiff, the jury
must find for the defendant. The In
quirer would have people believe that
Judge King overruled not only the Su
preme Court, but hisown former decis
ion. The law as settled by Judge King
, himself and affirmed by the Supreme
j Court, in Huber vs. Iteilly, is, that no so
calted "Deserter" can he disfranchised
■without having been tried and convicted
by the proper tribunal , and that an elec
tion board is not such a tribunal as can
determine the guilt of such so-called De
serter. We challenge the Inquirer tft
deny that this is the law. Let the men
who disfranchise their own fellow citi
zens, without trial, without judge, or
jury, beware! They have escaped pun-
I ishment this time; but the meshes of
the law will not be permitted to hang
| so loosely about them hereafter.
THE total loss to the Radicals, since
the elections of last year, is about 80,600
votes! They, however, gained OiI,(KM)
n >no ers * n Tennessee, and disfranchised
1(M),ooo whites in the same State.*
1 HE Democrats have 20 majority on
joint ballot in the California I>egisla
ture,insuring the election of a Democrat
ic U. S. Senator in place of Conness,
Radical.
ANOTHER PROCLAMATION.
Not from Andrew Johnson, granting
universal pardon, but from F. Jordan,
the irrepressible chairman of the Radi
cal State Committee, offering a big red
flag to that county which shall give
the largest Radical gain on the vote of
last year. The idea is original, piquant,
brilliant; worthy of the discoverer
of one of Judge Sharswsbd's boyish
speeches. We fancy we sfee the Radi
cals rushing frantically to the polls,
jostling, tumbling over each other, in
their eagerness to get the big flag.
Couldn't the chairman throw in a
drum and a tin horn? But, we sup
pose the offer, as it stands, is enough to
tempt them to swallow the negro, ebo
shins, wool and all. It is not prob
able, however, that Bedford county,
from latest accounts, will apply.
It is now supposed that the chair
man is about to issue some appropriate
testimonial, privately, to that one
of the National Banks, which "comes
down" with the largest amount for the
radical corruption fund of this fall. For
fear that the flag idea has exhausted
the resources of the chairman, we sug
gest a nickel medal , with some such de
vice as the following: Pennsylvania,
supported by Railroad Monopoly, on
the one hand and Negro Suffrage on the
other, beckoning to Bribery, "persua
sive maid"; while the genius of "Green
backs," mounted on the car of Infla
tion (in shape of paper balloon) hurls
his spear at the dragon of Specie Pay
ments. On the reverse, a crowd of
Philadelphia Negroes rushing to the
polls to vote for one of those Soldiers
whom the "loyal men" forgot to nomi
nate; while in the back-ground, the leg
islative deck-hands at the State Capital
are disposing of the Pennsylvania arch
ives to a noted "fence" near Harrisburg,
for waste paper.
Who bids for the medal and the
flag?
ELECTION DAY, Tuesday, Oct. 8.
A SIItUKX CONVERSION.
Our friend Mr. Jordan, the Radical
candidate for county Treasurer, has,
so far as we know, always been a man
of temperate habits. This is, without
doubt, to his credit. But no sooner
was he nominated by the Radical con
vention, than he began strangely to
distrust himself. Suddenly he came to
the conclusion that in order to continue
to live a sober life, he must join the ol
der of Good Templars. Now, be it
known that we object to 110 man's join
ing that order, but it seems so queer
to us that it was necessary for so ex
emplary a man as Mr. Jordan to be
come a Good Templar just after he was
nominated for Treasurer. Did he fear
the influence of theassociations thrown
around him by that nomination, or
was it something else that induced him
to "put on the yoke ?"
IIOW THE TICKET IS TO RE VOTED.
Voters should bear in mind that un
der recent legislation the manner of
voting has been changed. At the com
ing election, the ticket will consist of
two slips, one labeled " Judiciary"
(which word must be folded out) con
taining the ballot for Judge of the Su
preme Court ; another labeled " County,"
(which word must also be folded out)
containing the ballots for all the other
offices to be filled. The two should
then be tied together, and thus voted.
THE Radicals are circulating a pam
phlet to convince people that Mr. Wil
liams is a great lawyer, llis legal bat
tles and victories are rehearsed, with
true legal terseness and precision, and
the story will, doubtless, convince ev
erybody, that no one in the State is so
pre-eminently tit for Supreme Judge as
Williams. The cases cited, are given
"in the order of time." The first is in
18J0; the last in 1864. In all there are
26. Be it remembered that Judge
Williams was affirmed in all these cas
es. Truly, this is legal greatness ; al
most too much for any one man to
bear. The man was actually right 26
times in eleven years!
THE Somerset Herald & Whig is most
respectfully referred to Mr. Sell ell's
pledges on the Railroad question, print
ed in another column. If oifr "Repub
lican" friends in Somerset county, will
rather stiek to their ticket, than send a
gentleman to the Legislature capable
of advancing their local interests and
pledged to do so over his own signa
ture, we cannot complain. The power
is in their hands; we shall not obtrude
our advice upon them as to how they
should use it. Will the llerald and
Whig be kind enough to copy Mr.
Schell's pledges ?
17,000!
The Democratic gain in Maine is 17,-
000 over last year's election. Last year
the Democrats did not carry a single
county; this year they carry seven!
There are also heavy gains in members
of the Legislature.
MUM— The Inquirer on Maine, Cali
fornia and Montana.
THE Radicals reduced the State debt,
by borrowing money at six per cent, to
pay off bonds for money loaned to the
State at five per cent. The bonds re
deemed were taxed and brought a large
revenue to the State. Those issued by
the Radicals, are not taxed. A case of
simple reduction , truly !
ORGANIZE! NOW, at once! Lose not
a single day ! Victory is within our
grasp. Who would stand back and lose
the long-hoped for triumph by his care
lessness? No true Democrat will stay
at home at this election. Let all turn
out— all —A LT A LL—and Pen nsy 1 va
nia will be redeemed as sure as the sun
will rise on election day.
IF a man makes a solemn contract
with you to pay a debt in go Id, is it hon
est in him to insist that you must take
payment in paper 1 Judge Sharswood
says no; Judge Williams says yes.—
Which of them do you prefer for Su
preme Judge?
It EMEM nE R that SATURDAY,
SEPT. 28, is the last day on which as
sessments of voters can be made prior
to the coming election. All persons
who voted "on age" last year, must be
assessed, or they cannot vote.
COULDN'T one of the Reconstruction
Satraps order an election in one of the
Africanized Southern States, where all
the negroes are allowed to vote, whilst
three fourths of the whites are disfran
chised, so that the Radicals might have
a victory to crow over?
If you want greenbacks to be a legal
tender for all debts contracted during
the war, vote for Hon. 11. W. Williams
for Supreme Judge and not for Judge
Sharswood.— lnquirer.
If you want a Supreme Judge who
will enforce an honest contract, vote for
Hon. George Sharswood and not for
Judge Williams.
THE most ClK\ ring reports come from
every part of the state. We shall make
tremendous gains in the very strong
holds of the enemy. Democrats of Bed
ford county! Be ready to strike a
death-blow to Radicalism on the Bth of
October next!
Does the Gazette want to know wheth
er we are in favor of Negro Suffrage?
—lnquirer.
About two thousand Republicans in
Bedford county "want to know," and
you are too cowardly to inform them.
THE Inquirer declines publishing
Judge Sharswood's opinion in the fa
mous legal tender case, but keeps
standing at its editorial head, a garbled
extract from that opinion. Cowardly,
isn't it?
Deserter stock is below par.—lnqui
rer.
So it seems, for one of the Adjutant
General's deserters has "got down so
low" as to be a member of the Radical
County Committee.
Soldiers, while you were in the field
imperiling your lives for your country,
Judge Sharswood was at home, Ac.—

Where was Judge Williams?
ELECTION DAY, Tuesday, Oct. 8.
RADICAL TiIUNDER.
The Radical State Committee are cir
culating through the State, and en
deavoring to place in the hands of
Democrats, a lying document, appeal
ing to the pecuniary interest of the
voter. We give it entire, and also
annex some comments upon it. Read
it and notice its falsehoods:
FACTS FOR GOVERNMENT BONDHOLD
ERS, AND THE HOLDERS OF
GREENBACKS.
KOIMI. Rolled—ami Hitiitl to Your Xoigfti
bor.
In 1861, eleven States seceded; and
since then only twenty-three have been
represented in Congress, until the ad
mission of Tennessee in 1866.
All the United States Bonds—s-20's,
7.80's and 10-40's—all the greenbacks,
and all the National Banks, were crea
ted by this Congress of twenty-three
States.
President Johnson calls this an "as
sumed Congress " —therefore not legal.
His supporters and the Democrats call
it a " rump Congress ," and a " usurping
Congress ," and hence, not a lawful Con
gress; and the great effort has been to
elect Congressmen in the North, and
admit enough from the rebel States to
enforce this policy."
If a Congress, representing but twen
ty-three States, be not a lawful Con
gress, then every United States Bond,
and all our greenbacks, and National
Banknotes are worth nothing; because
an unlawful Congress could not make
lawful Bonds or lawful money.
The mad effort, so recently made by
the rebels and their sympathizers, to
destroy this Government by force of
arms failed. Thus far, the attempt to
do the same thing through Congress,
has also failed, because of the action of
the loyal voters at the ballot-box; and
the last effort at destruction is now be
ing made THROUGH THE COURTS.
Witness the recent attempt by Dem
ocratic lawyers to induce the Supreme
Court of the United States to issue an
injunction, nullifying the Reconstruc
tion Laws of Congress in Mississippi,
Geortria, and other rebel States. Read
also the opinion of GEORGE SHARS
WOOD, thb Democratic nominee for
Judge of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, in which he gravely denies
the constitutional power of Congress to
make paper money a legal tender.—
(Borie vs. Trott, Legal Intelligencer of
March 18th, 1864, page 62.) Judges
WOODWARD and THOMFSON of thesame
Court, announced from the bench the
same alarming doctrine, in 1865. (See
Mervine vs. Sailor, etal., Legal Intelligen
cer of June 16 A 00, 1865, pages 188 A
205.)
And this, too, in the face of the fact that
the Superior Courts of every loyal State
in which the question has been raised,
have sustained the power of Congress.
It requires, therefore, but little
knowledge of either arithmetic or law,
to estimate the imminent danger of
putting any more men of JudgeSHARS
WOOD'S opinions on the Supreme Bench
of the State!
If you believe the present Congress to
be unlawful , or desire our National cur
rency and Government Bonds to be de
clared unlawful , vote for GEORGE
SHARSWOOD.
If you believe the present Congress
to be lawful, or desire their action on
Currency and Bonds tostand good, vote
to sustain them, —for the party that
created the Greenbacks and the Bonds,
—the party that sustained the war, and
compelled submission to the National
authority,—and that stands pledged to
keep faith with the Bondholders, and,
to maintain the National credit—vote
for HENRY W. WILLIAMS, the worthy
honored nominee of this party.
Look at the Other Side.
When secession came, Democrats sus
tained the Government,shed their blood,
invested their money in o-20's, 7-30%
and 10-40's, sent their members to Con
gress and obeyed the laws that a Con
gress of twenty-three States enacted.
That was their Government and they
loved it, they defended it, and many of
them, died for it.
During the war, eleven States were not
represented in Congress, and they refus
ed to be. That was a lawful Congress,
all obeyed it and all of its laws are bind
ing under the Constitution.
When the war was over the South,
submitted, then the Radicals kept them
out to give the negro power. Then
'■'■ they acted outside of the Constitution,"
as Thaddeus Stevens says.
If it be true, that the Democrats are
trying to destroy this Government, how
strange it is that they should hold its
bonds and notes, and fight and die for
it. Their object is to preserve it, to bring
it within the Constitution, to govern
according to law, to economise its re
sources, and to pay its debts.
Are your bonds and greenbacks safer
inside of the Constitution or outside of
it? If we have no Constitution, as Ste
vens says, what security have you for
your debt ? The Constitution is the title
deed to the property that your debt is a
lien upon.
In the case of Borie against Trott,
Judge Sharswood decided that a man
who agreed to pay a debt in gold should
pay it in gold. Was not this right? He
didn't decide the question of the pow
er of Congress.
You hold a o-20 or a 10-10 bond, the
interest payable in gold. The Gov
ernment agreed to pay you in gold,—
The Radicals and their Judges say the
Government may pay you in paper.
Judge Sharswood holds that a contract
to pay in gold should be enforced.
Which best suits you? Which is the
more honest?
Do you see where this Radical doc
trine leads you? They already say that
the principal of the Bonds may be paid
•inpaper. If Judge Williams decides
that your interest is payable in paper,
is your contract with the Government
carried out ? Will he not so decide ?
They will pay in paper; their extrava
gance makes it necessary. The interest
on our Stale Bonds was payable in gold,
the law made it so ( See Act of 1840.)
In 1861, when gold was 1.66, the Radi
cals in the Legislature passed a lawma
king it payable in paper, on the ground
that they could save money, {See Leg
islative llec. 1861.) Are you any more
secure than the Bondholders of the
State?
The expenses of the Government are
more than its income. The Radicals
are expending two hundred and twenty-
Jive millions of your money for this year.
The Democrats spent sixty-two millions
the last year they were in power, for
the same purposes. Can you sustain
this extravagance? Does not the secu
rity of your debt consist in prudent
management, economy in public busi
ness, and in nourishing and developing
our resources? Are the Radicals pur
suing this course ?
If you wish your bond and its inter
est paid in paper and your contract with
theGovernmcnt violated, vote for HEN
KY W. WILLIAMS.
If you want contracts between man
and man, and between the government
and yourself carried out, vote for
GEORGE SHARSWOOD.
TO THE PEOPLE OF PKSSSYLVAXIA.
The Radicals attempt to evade the
practical issues of the canvass and to
delude you into the support of their
candidates.
They alone are accountable for the
prostration of your business interests.
They have deliberately sacrificed them
in order to place in the hands of South
ern Negroes, the balance of power in
the Republic and thus preserve their
own rule. More than two years have
passed since peace was restored, and
we still look in vain for increased pro
ducts from the South to aid us in pay
ing the interest on our debt, and tor
her prosperous customers to buy our
woolen, iron and other manufactures.
Instead of receiving aid to pay our
debt, we are taxed to maintain a freed
man's bureau and a standing army in
the South. Instea lof prosperous cus
tomers to increase our trade, every
business interest languishes.
Radical mismanagement, a negro
policy, and Radical extravagance,
weigh down our energies and fetter our
resources.
The whole expense of the War De
partment in 1860 was sixteen and a-half
millions, whilst in 18G7 it is estimated
by the Treasury at forty-seven millions,
both being periods of peace. To give
the Negro the power to rule us,
therefore, tjosts the nation annually j
thirty millions. Of this amount, j
Pennsylvania's share is at least one
tenth, and your industry must annual
ly pay three millions of dollars to sup
port a policy that closes your woolen
mills and stops your factories.
In your State affairs, mismanage
ment, corruption and extravagance are
the rule. In 1860, under Democratic
power the whole amount of money ap
propriated and expended, independent
offunded debt and-military expenses , as
shown by the Treasury, was NINE
HUNDRED AND NINETY-EIGHT THOUS
AND DOLLARS. In 1864, excluding the
same items , the Radicals appropriated
andexpended one million three hundred
and seventy-nine thousand dollars. In
1860, excluding the same items , the Rad
icals appropriated and expended one
million five hundred and nineteen
thousand dollars, and in 1866, excluding
the same items , they appropriated and
expended TWO MILLIONS AND ELEVEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS. The reports of
the Auditor General show these facts,
and prove that IN six YEARS OF RAD
ICAL RULE YOUR CASH EXPENSES
HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED.
The men who have ihus wasted your
substance, prate of their loyalty and
their sacrifices, and would maintain
their hold upon the public treasury by
fixing your attention upon other issues.
You are oppressed by taxation through
internal revenue and other machinery,
as no other people ever were. It takes
from you, your legitimate profits and
gives you no customers. It compels
you to stop manufacturing and to dis
charge your workmen Your goods re
main unsold and your operatives suffer.
Can you expect relief from this grind
ing taxation, so long as these enormous
expenditures continue. Relief can on
ly come through economy in public af
fairs, a reduction in your expenses, and
•he discharge of corrupt and extrava
gant officials.
It is their purpose to violate the great
principle, "that each State has the right
to determine the qualifications of its
own electors" and give the negroes of
Pensylvania the balance of power be
tween the two great political parties.
Xegro suffrage is to be forced upon you
by Congressional enactment, and your
"Supreme Court is to be placed in har
mony" with that law, by electing Judge
Williams, who is relied upon to decide
that the negro is entitled to a right
which you and your organic laws deny
him. In the Senate of the United
States, in July last, the recognized lead
er of the Radicals of this Slate voted to
proceed to consider a bill that was in
troduced by Wilson of Massachusetts,
to effect this infamous purpose.
DEMOCRATS OF PENNSYLVANIA !
Let the result in California arouse
you to renewed exertion. Work is to be
(lone, and you must do it. Committees
may plan and order, but the result de
pends upon yourselves. Individual ef
fort is the road to victory. See your
neighbor, encourage him , bring him to
thepoils. Perfect your organizations.
Block your wards and townships. Sub
divide the labor and perform it with
energy.
Press home upon your adversaries the
real issues of the canvass. Demand
of them that they shall answer:
Are you for or against the Radical pol
icy that destroys our business and closes
our work shops, mills and factories, to give
the negro (he balance of power f
Are you for or against continued cor
ruption, mismanagement and extrava
gance f
Are you for or against conceding to
Congress, the right to allow the negro the
power to rule Pennsylvania f

CONSUMPTION* CURABLE BY DR
SCHEXCK'S MEDICINES. —To cure consumption, tho
system must be prepared so that the lungs will
heal. To accomplish this, the liver and stomach
must first be cleansed and an appetite created for
good wholesome food, which, by these medicines
will be digested properly, and good healthy blood
made; thus building up the constitution. Schenck's
Mandrake Pills cleanse the stomach of all bilious
or mucous accumulations; and, by using the Sea
Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well
as medicinal, and, by using tho three remedies, all
impurities are expelled from the system, and good,
wholesome blood made, which will repel all dis-
I ease. If patients will take theie medicines ac
cording to directions, consumption very frequently
in its last stage yields readily to their acj^m. —
• Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and
stomach. It does not follow that because the bow
els are not costive they are not required, for some
times in diarrhoea they are necessary. The stom
ach must be kept healthy, and an appetite created
to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on the respir
atory organs properly and allay any irritation.
Then all that is required to perform a permanent
cure is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise about
1 the rooms as much as possible, eat all the richest
'> food—fat meat, game, and, in fact, anything the
appetite craves; but be particular and masticate
well. 2d w

A GENERAL, MASSACRE of the fibres
of the head, the whiskers, the mustaches, or the
beard, can be easily accomplished by the appli
cation of the scorching hair dyes, and when every
hair is KILLED DEAD, the parties deceived by
these nostrums will regret, too late, that they did
not use the wonderful and entirely poisonless prep

black or brown which is not surpassed by nature's
own hue. Be wise in time. The only safe and
