THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.
The Democracy are loudly boasting of a
grand victory in Virgin!;* which li3S gone
for the conservative ticket by about 20,000
or 30,0 h) for the new coii-ti
tutiju without the disfrar.chi.-ing elan- - by
about 60,000. In order to a true under
standing _of the situation in Virginia at
present it is necessary testate that there
was no copperhead, rebel, or Democratic
ticket, that both Wells the defeated, and
Walker the successful candidate for Gover
nor are Republican-'. W ells was the more
radical of the two and favored the adoption
of the Constitution with the disfranchising
clauses. Walker has alws; > been a Union
man and a republican and is a firm suppor
ts of Grant and his administration, but
favored the Universal Suffrage and Univer
sal amnesty theory of tbe most advanced
republicanism. The fact that Walker was
in favor of universal amnesty and opposed
to the disfranchising clauses of the new
constitution gained for him the support of
the Democrats and late rete'-, and thereby
secon d his election. That many who voted
for the new constitution hut against the
disfranchising clau-c- and at the -ame time
for Wells, is shown by the faet that the
constitution is carried by a r jirity of 60,-
000 while Walker i? only elected by some
30,000, majority. Walker still affirms his
republicanism but is regarded as a con-erva
tive because the rebel- voted fur him in
preference to the other republican eacdi
date. The majority of the Congrc- uien
elected, ai-o claim to be republicans and
were supported by uiariy republicans but
were elected because in addition to the re-
publicans the lebcls also supported them.
Whether the victory is to be regarded as \
Republican or Democratic remains to be
seen and will only be determined, when it
is ascertained what course the officers elect
ed will adopt and what party they identify
themselves with. At present they support
Grant, who to day represents the most ad
vanced Republicanism and is a warm and
outspoken advocate of Universal suffrage.
IF the result is accepted as a Democratic
victory, Democracy has certainly made a
vast stride in advance of its late position.
II the adoption of the new constitution
which llicy have so uncquiviccally cou
ucuiued, the election of negro (.'ongre -no it
of whom they have always prof. > c i sin-h a
holy horror and the adoption of the F.-
tee-tith Amendment, wl < y hi . .so >c
hcmently opposed aid denounced ate
claimed as Democratic victories, we may
surely be permitted to congratuluo them on
the great advance they have sudden!. -cad .
Indeed we can hardly ssf . ti,,w y ,-.hi „>
jeot to coming directly into the lb publican
ranks, as the position they thus eyupy is
n"t only far from anythin; ev-.V b' Tire
countenanced I the Democracy, but is that
of the mo t advanced 1! publit-anism.
Surely the aye ot wonder- ha not yet ceased.
Wc. long ago predicted that the Democracy
would not only eventually a vept negro suf
frage and negro office 1 ding but would
also become the most atdent sockets after
negro votes, lit heir prv-cnt claims to vic
tory in \ irginia be true, our prophecy is
fulfilled even sooner than we expected. For
they not only elected negro s.ffic. rs hut
also had the majority of the uero votes.
We hope they will now he consistent enough
to drop the negro question in this state and
not court the negro in \ irginia, and mob
him in Pennsylvania.
IUK Chinese labor question is becoming i
one of no small importance. A few days ;
ago Senator Cassely of California dvnoumv j
ed the Chinese and advocate 1 the prohibi
tion of Chinese immigration. On Thursday i
a convention ol delegate! from the entire •
South met at Memphis Tennessee for the !
purpose of inaugurating active measures
for the introduction of Chinese labor iu the
Southern States. There really seems to be j
but little doubt that the time is near at
band when, Chinese laborers will be more
abundant throughout the country than ever
Irish laborers were.
II i.- understood that the Cops are al out
to drop the cry of J lUilary .Kit,-am they

COKSTITUTIONAI.IT* or rue
REGISTRY 1. AW AFFIRMED.
The Supreme Court after her ring Use ar
guments by able counsel for and against the
Registry act before a full bench on the Sth
inst., pronounced .the law constitutional.
Judges Agnew, Williams and Read sus
tain the law, while, Sharswood ami Thomp
son, who bad already in a most unbecoming
and partisan manner arrayetfr themselves
against it. still dissent. We may now have
some reasonable hope of preserving to a
fair degree the purity of the ballot box.
Copperhead partisanship on the Supreme
bench baa done its worst, and has been ig
nominotisly foiled in its attempt to shield
fraudulent naturalisation and ballot box
stuffing. The opinion of the Court deliver
ed by judge Agnew, effectually disposes of
the -hallow sophistry of Judge Shan-wood's
Nisi I'riws opinion. We hope <• :pperliead
ism will now be sati-fied, and trust to honest
votes hereafter in their efforts to gain office.
The ballot box is the citadel of our liberties
and all parties should join to guard its
purity with jealous care. This is the only
object of the Registry Act. It will now
have a lair trial, and if any part of it needs
modification in order the better to attain the
object aimed at the next legislature can
make all needful changes. AN e know that,
the chief object of the Cops was to annul
it entirely so as to open the way for fraud
in the fall campaign, but now that they arc
foiled in this wo are in hopes that a little
reflection, for which they will now have
ample time, will convince them of the error
of tin ir ways.
CoPPERUEADJ.SM is a queer compound of
contradictions; after all their bellowing about
the 15th amendment, they are claiming"a
great victory in Virginia where the new
constitution has been adopted by GO,OIO of
;r. litv nnrfer which they will have to
adopt the amendment, beside which tlicy
not only accept negro suffrage but elect
several negroes to Congress. Consistency
thou art indeed a jewel.
LARGE REPTCTTCN or THE PUBLIC DEBT.
—The statement of the public debt for July
1 -t, shows a reduction of $10,410,132,00.
What say our copperhead cotemporaries to
thi- eo' tinna'ly increasing reduction of the
d- bi ? ("neb street oding month since Grant's
c , ;- - ; ii fo (lie Presidency lis- witnessed
a larger reduction than the preceding one.
Will they continue to grumble about Re
publican .'xtravanance?
TUB copperheads are in consternation at
th -ir failure to got the Registry act declared
unconstitutional. It was their only hope
hi the coming campaign and it has failed.
Neither Cass nor Hancock has the shadow
of a chanee for success against Geary in a
: fair election. The Democracy have no love
• for fair play. Fraud is their native element
i and without it they are powerless.

SECRETARY BOCTWELI.
S. CM • try Boutwcll was induced to make
pu! lie en Sunday his determination to pur
t;lis.-.- tf'.y tOO,OOO of bonds for the purpose
f o itiianking the tuana-uvr. a of a clique of
Vd! street operators, who. by shrewd

his financial policy which leaks out of the
i'u .sury Department in some unknown

THE NEW GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA.
Governor elect Walker, of Virginia, ar
rived here yesterday and left this afternoon
•it,- New York city, where he wid spend a
•i.tv or two, and then visit his mother in
Bingbatritou, N. Y„ for a couple of weeks
!<■ Ihre his return to Virginia. The Govrr
n r elect had a long interview with the
Pic.-ident this morning, during which be is
understood to have expressed an earnest de
termination to support the policy of the Ad
ministration, as it is constructed by the par
ty which elected him. He also expressed
the opinion that the fifteenth amendment
trill bo b,' 'lio T o —rirtt,
as it assembles, and urged the President to
cause the necessary orders for the install
ment of the officers elect without delay.
THE MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.
The meeting of the Executive Committee
appointed bv the recent Commercial Con
vention at Memphis, which occurs during
the present month, promises to develop
something of a political character. Art
Stent of a prominent China importing house
tviil lie present at the invitation of tho im
portation of coolie labor into all of the South
ern States. The object of this movement
is evidently to displace the frocdmen front
i be national inheritance as the laboring class
of the South. It is, therefore, probable
that before long the colored people of the
South wiil be arrayed against die Celestials
the same as the white laborers of the Pacific
coast.
The Sinking fund.
W AhUINOTON, July".—Secretary Bout
well to day appointed Gen. F. E. Spinner,
1 uited States Treasurer, custodian of the
Sinking Fund and such bonds as may be
bought subject to the future action of Con
press, with instructions that they must he
charged to account of registered bonds and
liooks opened which at all times must thow
the true condition of the fund. Ho is also
instructed to open an interest accouut with
tuo Sinking Fund and credit it with all the
| interest due or bonds bought on account of
the Staking Fund or subject to the future
action of Congress, and purchase new bonds
with such interest, to be added to the
Sinking bund.
Jl NF. DISBURSEMENTS.
The following are the disbursements for
-June : Civil and miscellaneous, $3,8£9,388;
war, $5,233,288; navy, $2,885,093; Indian
and pensions, $2.(182,416. The above does
not include the amount paid on account of
I the public debt.
The Gettysburg National .Monument.
The monument is the most imposing me
mento of the civil war anywhere in the coun
try, and will not be finished at a cost of less
titan $50,000, although the original estimate
was but $25,000. It is from designs by J . G.
Patterson, of Hartford, Ct., who also fur
ni-hed the clay models of the. statuary,
which were worked out in marble at Rome
by Randolph Rogers. The superstructure is
sixty feet high, consisting of a massive
pedestal, twenty-five feet square at the base,
and the die and cap crowned with a three
quarter globe, on which stands a colossal
statue of the genius cf Liberty, holding in
her right hand the victor's WTeath of laurel,
and clasping with the left a sheathed swor.l.
Projecting from the angles of the pedestal
are four buttresses, supporting tho same,
number of allegorical stitues, representing
War, History, Peace and Plenty. War is
personified by an American soldier, who,
resting from the conflict, relates to History
the story of the battle the monument com
uu morales, while History, with stylus and
tablet, is chivied as recording the achieve
ments of the field. Peace is symbolised by
astatuo of tho American mechanic, with the
.accessories of a cog wheel, hammer and
chisel, while Plenty is represented by a fe
male figure, with a sheaf of wheat and fruits
as emblamatic of peace and abundance as
the soldier's crowning triumph. The
buttresses on which these statues —which
are all colossal —are seated, have the sides
ornamented with bas-reliefs in unison with
the idea embodiffti in the statue. The up
per die and cap of the monument are cir
cular, aud on the die is a circlet of bronze
stars made up of one for each State _ having
dead in the cemetery. The cornice and
plinth above the main die of the pedestal arc
octagonal and heavily moulded, and on the
plinth rests an octagonal moulded base,
bearing upon its face the national arms in
high relief. The panel of the main die, on
the we=t side between the statues, has en
graven on it:
GETTYSBURG,
July 1,2, 3, „
ISG3.
While the corresponding panel on the oppo
site side has the following from Lincoln's
dedicatory address:
It i- for us, the living, rather to be dedi
cated here to the unfinished work that tbey
have thus far so nobly carried on. It is
rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us —that from
these hoc red dead we take increased de
votion to the cause for which they here
gave the last full measure of devotion —that
we here highly resolve that the dead shall
not have died in vain; that the nation shall,
under God, have a new birth of freedom,
and that the Government of the people, by
the people, and for the people shall not
perish fioni the earth.—LINCOLN, Novem
ber 19, 1863.
The monument it-elf is executed in granite
and the five statues in marble, so that when
completed it will have the same general
effect as the cemetery in which it stands.
It is not yet finished, for Peace and Plenty
have not yet arrived from Italy, and ol the
materials now on the ground only the pedes
tal with the buttresses and the statues of
War and History have been put in place.
The marble of both these statues has been
badly disfigured during the passage across
the ocean, iu consequence of gross careless
ness of | ackage and stowage, and, unsightly
as they now appear, it is feared that some
oftbe stains can never be wholly eradicated.
Constitutionality of The Registry Law.
PHILADELPHIA, July 7.—The Supreme
Court in Imne this morning declared con
stitutional the Registry Law as passed by
the Legislature. The decision is very
lengthy, and includes the opinions of Judges
Agnew, Road and Williams. J adges Shars
wood and Thompson dissented. The de
ci-ion reverses the decree of the Court of
A7i iVtirs, and the special injunction is
dissolved. The decision concludes as follows:
It is true there is a kind of liberty this
registry law will destroy. It is that
licentiousness, that adulterous freedom,
which surtenders the polls to hirelings and
vagabonds— outcasts from home and honest
industry, men who have no citizenship or
stake in the Government, men who will com
mit perjury, violence and murder itself. To
prevent this is the purpose of this law. and
it should have the aid of fair men of all
parties to give it a fair trial and secure its
true end. It may have defects, doubtless
it Las; and what system devbod by the wit
of man has not ? i'ut its defects, if any,
should bo remedied as they are disclosed by
experience. The law is not unconstitutional.
It is a part of the political system of the
State on which its offices and its very con
tinuance depends, and wc, as a Court, have
no right to put our bands upon the whole
system on the grounds of mere hardship,
and for defects of regulation which arc not
clear or palpable violations of the letter or
very spirit of the constitution.
The Prussian Navy the Strongest in the
World.
The I'ill Mull Gazette says :
A few- j ears ago it would scarcely be an ex
aggeration to say that the long-boat of a
British man-of war would be a fair match
for Pru-sias whole fleet; and one can under
stand the feeling of legitimate pride with
which Count Bismarck lately; found himself
able to assert that her navy is at this mo
ment second to none in 'he Baltic. The ex
traordinary rapidity with which iron-clad
after iron-clad ha - been built and launched
in the Prussian ports, and the scarcely dis
guised pretensions of the Prussian Govern
mentot the supremacy of the Baltic sea,
have created no little jealousy in Russia.
Last year, at the suggestion of Count Bis
marck. the Prussian and Russian fleets
cruised and manoeuvred together during the
suuiuier months; but a proposal to renew
the same exercises has met at St. Peters
hitrgwitban unqualified refusal. This in
cident has caused mueh sensation in Russian
naval circles, the general impression being
that the Government is aware of the present
superiority of the Prussian navy and un
willing to let their fleet serve as a foil to
that of their active and enterprising neigh
bor.
DELHI.ITT. There is no medicine equal to
-Iloofiand's German Bitters in eases of De

whole system, strengthens the appetite,
causes an enjoyment of the food enables the
stomach to digest it, purifies the blood,
gives a good, sound, healthy complexion,
eradicates the yellow tinge from the eyes,
imparts a bloom to the cheeks, and changes
the patient from a short-breathed, ein
aoiatce, weak and nervous invalid, to a full
faced. stout, and vigorous person. "Hoof
land's German Bitters" is entirely free from
all Alcholic admixture. Iloofiand's German
Tonic is a combination of the ingredients of
Hnnflnrt's Uittecs with VUK! Santa Cruz
Rum, orange, anise, Ac., making one or ine
most agreeable and pleasant preparations

-CHASE AHEAD IN TAMMANY. —It is evi
dent from the enthusiastic reception of the
reference to Chief Justice Chase in Tam
many on Monday that he is now ahead as
the coming man for the Democracy. But
this is in 1869, and the whole political world
may be reconstructed before the year 1872.
John Van lluren trotted out Andy Johnson
in 1865 as the coming man for the Demo
cracy. but Johnson was nowhere in 1868.
Within the three years before us we may
expect such changes in the political chess
board as w ill cut out the old party condidatcs
and leaders, and bring new parties, new is
sues and new men into the foreground.
Lastly the race is still in the hands of the
administration, to win or forfeit as General
Grant may elect.
TOBACCO.— At the late tobacco fair at
Louisville, some interesting statistics were
presented, which have been condensed J>y
the North Amrrkan. It was stated the
sales at lxtuisville the cm rent year aroount
ed_to 21,001 hogsheads, valued at 82,215,-
207. Ihe estimates of Western production
this year arc 120.000 hogsheads, apportion
ed in 60,000 to Kentucky, 23.000 to Tennes
see. 10,000 to Indiana and Illinois, and
S.OOO to Missouri. The stock on hand in
these States is 9,000 hogsheads. We have
some 20,000 at several eastern ports, which
gives an aggregate of 148,000. Our do
mestic use is about 13,000 hogsheads at the
east, and 25,000 at the west. The foreign
demand is in the vicinity of 82,5000 hogs
heads, making the total consumption some
125,000 hogsheads over the estimated cost
of 1*69.
EX HENATOI: BEN WADK, who canto so
near being President, is doing the Pacific
Railroad. A correspondent says that he is
literally inspecting the road. When the
train is in motion he sits at the door of the
rear car and watches the track as if be had
lost something valuable and expected
every moment to discover it. Ort one occa
sion, night coming on. Mr. Wade ordered
the train to run on a siding and leave his
car until morning, as he was determined
to go over the road in daylight. As soon
as he could see. a special engino was sent
up and attached to his car, and the ex-Sen
ator, having properly adjusted his specta
cles, set sail westwaid.
THE MILAN lhingolo lately announced
that Andrew Johnson, ex President of the
United States, had arrived at a certain
hotel in that city. An immense
of people soon after asseinL.ed in front of
the hotel in question, and great curiosity
was manifested to see "Andy. It was not
ascertained until some time afterward that
the "A Johnson" to whom the Ihingolo
alluded was not the ex-President, but a
very inoffensive tobacco merchant from
New York, who was quite distressed af the
notoriety which he had acquired against his
will.
ACCORDING to letters from England, that
country is iu danger of a bad harvest. For
the past two weeks the average temperature
has been lower than it was at Christmas,
and rain has been constantly falling through
the spring and early summer. Continued
liot and sunny weather is the only thing that
will save the crops.
Hooks and Periodicals.
"Hearth and llome" for July 17th, will be
a specially fuje one, both in the variety aud
excellence of its matter and the beauty and
value of its illustrations. It will contain the
beginning of the vhry interesting story, "The
Romance of a Rich Young Girl," by Octave
Fuillet, author of "The Romance of- a Poor
Young Man," which was everywhere so
deservedly popular by reason of the singular
interest of its plot, the variety, beauty and
thrilling character ot its incidents, the artis
tic skill of the style, and the healthy tone of
its morality. "The Romance of a Rich
Young GirV ' will be found to possess all
these qualities iu an equally marked degree.

Let not Prejudice usurp your Reason.
It is a fact that, in the minds of many per
sons, a prejudice exists against what ate called
[talent medicines; but why should this pre
vent you resorting to an article that has such
an array of testimony Io support it as HOS
TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS? Phy
sicians prescribe it; why should you discard
it? Judges, usually considered men oftalenl,
have used and do use it in their families; why
should you reject it? Let not your prejudice
usurp your reason to the everlasting injury of
your health. If you are sick, and require a
medicine, try these Bitters.
VV hen the bodily energies are worn out by
anxiety and need a stimulant, this is the best
that can be taken. It is tempered and modi
fied by hygienic herbs and roots, which pre
vent it trom fevering the blood; and hence it
does not produce a mere temporary cxcite
m?nt, to be followed by injutious reaction,
but commnnicates a permanent potency to
the entire vital organization. Some of its
herbal constituents are slightly soporific, so
that in cases where sleeplessness is one of
the accompaniments of nervous disease, a
dose of it taken towards bedtime will tend to
produce quiet and refreshing slumber. For
palpitation of heart, tremors, hysterics,
fainting fits, general restlessness and the
causeless fears and distressing fancies to
which ladies are especially subject, under cer
tain morbid conditions ot mind and body pe
culiar to their sex, the Bitters will be found
the most agreeable and certain of all counter
irritante.
The constitutionally nervous may readily
keep their infirmity in constant check by the
daily use of this healthful vegetable tonic; and
those who have "shattered their nerves," as
the phrase is, either by imprudent indulgence
or undue physical intellectual labor, will find
in this vitalizing elixir a prompt restorative.

yAL IJ ABLE PREMIUM S .
NEW AND aO 0 D BOOKS.
Having fur four years past labored to improve
and enlarge the IXQI IRKK and to so fill it with
the latest news that our people would have lit tie
or no need of any other paper, we h&vo found that
one of the chief difficulties in our way has been
that of getting a sufficient number ol subscribers
to pay the expense* necessarily incurred in mak
ing a county paper what it ought to bo. Though
the JSQIIRKR has a larger Dumber of subscribers
than any other paper in the county, it still has
but littleinnre than half what it ought to have to
justify us in the outlay necessary to keep it up
to the standard at which we have steadily aimed.
The INQUIRER will continue to be the exponent
nsd advocate of a thorough-going Republicanism,
aid of retrenchment, economy and reform in the
administration of the affairs oi county, state and
nation. It will also, as usual, contain a larger
amjunt of late news and carefully selected gener
al reading matter than any other paper in this
Congressional District.
An important political campaign is just about
to begin, involving the election of a Governor,
Supreme Judge, State Senator, Member of the
Legislature, and a full county ticket. The State
and District tickets are of the highest importance
as there will be a new apportionment made at the
next Session of the Legislature. With such an
important campaign before us, it is highly desira
ble to put the INQUIRER in the hands of every
Republican in the county. We therefore call up
on our friends to help us put it at once into the
hands of as many of our people as possible. As
a further inducement to exertion we have conclu
ded to offer the following desirable
PREMIUMS:
For one new subscriber and $2.110 in *<h Hnce, we
glri one number of Scott's novel*. 20 cent
edition.
For two new subscribcr* and $4.00 in advance, we
will give one number t f Scutt's novels, 20 cent
ed., and one number of Pickcn's, 23 cent ed.
For three new subscribers and $6 00 in advance,
two Nos. of Scott and one No. of Dtvkcoe.
For four new subscribers and ss.oo in advance,
| one copy ot "One Hundred Selections," bound
j in cloth, or four Nos. Dickens.
For five new subscribers and SIO.OO in # advanec,
j five Nos. Dicken's works, or one copy of Ten-
djsoh's or Hum's poem?, worth $1.25.
For six new subscribers and $12.00 in advance,
one copy of Diamond Dickens, Longfellow or
Whittier, worth $1.50.
For twenty new Eiibscribcrsand SIO.OO io advance,
a • iup'.ete edition of Dick en's works (25 vols.
boumVin paper.)
For twenty five nc& subscribers and $50.00 in ad
vance, one large family bible, bound in best
morocco, full gilt.
For thirty new tubscribers and $60.00 in advance
one copy of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary,
illustrated edition with .1000 engravings, and
worth $12.00.
The above premiums are offered for new ad
vance paying subscribers. Dickon's works arc
made the standard for premiums, but we will sub
stitute any book on the shelves of the Inquirer
Book Stote of the corresponding price whenever
desired. Parties unable to raise clubs large
enough to entitle them to a copy of the bible or
dictionary will be allowed the premium for the
number they do raise, and can have either of the
above books by paying the di.Terence.

Middle ton'* Wonderful Pain Cure.
A sure remedy for Rheumatism. Neuralgia, Lum
bago, Growing Pains, Sprains, Bruiser, Stiffness
of the Joints and similar diseases.
This wonderful remedy is composed entirely of
vegetable ingredients. There are no injurious
substances used in its manufacture.
For assurance of its excellent properties, read
the following certificates:
IIKDI 081.. May S, 1869. I take great pleasure
in giving my testimony to the value of-'Middle
ton's Wonderful Pain Cure." I have been a mar
tyr to Rheumatism. For two months previous to
Feb. 25th, last, I was suffering intensely with pain
so severe, that during all that time I had not one
night of comfortable sleep. I could not put tny
hands to my face, could not comb my own hair
nor feed myself but after having the Pain Cure
applied once, I found relief enough to give me
comfortable sleep, and with its steady ure, I con
tinued to get better, and now at the end of ten
weeks from its first application, I have compara
tively free use of my bands, sleep well and can
attend to business. It has done ma more good
than all other medicines I have ever used pat
together, and I cheerfully give this certificate of
its value. KLI M. FISHER.
BEDFOBD, April IT, 1569. Mr. W. W. Middle
ton: This is to certify that I was taken with Rheu
matism, in my right sbonlder, on the evening of
the Bth inst., so that I was unable to raise my
hand to my face. I got some of your Pain Cure
and applied it twice, and was entirely relieved.
I would recommend to every oft who suffers with
Rheumatism to give it a trial and be cured.
VuunAc. A. F. MII.LER.
BEDFORD, May 1", 1869. Mr. Middleton: Dear
Sir—l have used several bottles of your medicine
in my family, and find it to be all you claim for
it. Yours, truly, JOHN lIAFER.
BEDFORD, May 18, 1889. This is to certify that
I have used "Middleion's Pain Cure," for kheu
matism, and was very much benefitted by it.
JOHN HARRIS.
BEBFOUD, May 18,1869. This is to certify that
I have used .Middleion's Liniment for the Rheu
matism, which I had in my right shoulder so bad
that I could not get my hand to my head without
groat pain, and after a few applications was en
tirely relieved. L. F. DART.
BEDFORD, May 1, 1869. Mr. Middleton: Dear
Sir:—Mrs. Bowser was in much suffering for
some four weeks with Hheomatism, and got some
of your Pain Cure, and the first niglit I applied
it it eased the pain; and after keeping on using it
for two weeks shy was restored to health I lee!
it to be my duty, as it is a pleasure, to write tbis
recommendation lor the benefit of others.
JACOB BOWSER.
BEDFORD, May 16, 1869. Mr. W. W. Middle
tor: Sir—l procured a bottle of your Liniment
for Rheumatism, and it gives me great pleasure
in saying that after using it for two days, my
rheumatism was completely reiieved. My sister
was suffering, at the same time, with Inflamatory
Rheumatism in bcr right hand and wrist—after
using it for several days she was relieved. I con
sider it the beßt remedy I ever heard of.
JOHN KEEFE.
BEDFORD, May 24, 1869. This is to certify
that I have used one bottle of Middleion's Liui
merit, for Rheumatism, and tbink it a good cure,
and would recommend it to all persons that are
afflicted with the abeve disease.
AUGUSTUS GARVER.
BEDFORD, May 26, 1869. Mr. Middleton: Sir—
I procured one bottle of your medicine and used
one-half of it for Rheumatism, which effected a
permanent cure up to this time. I cannot hesi
tate in saying that it is the best remedy I ever
used. A. B. CAKN.
This excellent PAIN CURE is prepared only
by W. W. MIDDLETON, Bedford, Pa., to whom

CHERRY PECTORAL,
For Diseases of the Threat and Lungs, such
as Coughsj Colds, Whooping Cough,
Bronchitis, Asthma, and
Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through along series of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the vari
ous affections of the lungs and throat, have made
it known a? a reliable protector against them.
While adapted to milder forms of disease and to
young children, it is at the same time the most
effectual remedy that can be given for incipient
consumption, and the dangerous affections of the
throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden
attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in ev
ery family, and indeed as all are sometimes sub
ject to colds and coughs, all should be provided
with this antidote for them.
Although settled consumption is thought incur
able, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured
and the patient restored to sonnd health by the
Cherry Pectoral. "So complete is its mastery over
the disorders of the Lung.- and Throat, that the
most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing
else could reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral
they subside and disappear.
Singers and public speakers find great protec
tion fiom it.
Astbuia is always relieved and often wholly
cured bv it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally arc its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do
more than assure the public that its qualities are
fully maintained.
AVER'S AGUE CURE,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill
Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Period
ical or Rilious Fever, Ac., and indeed all
the affections which arise from mala
rious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it docs CURK, an l doe,
not fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinines
Bismuth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poison
ous substance whatever, it in nowise injures
patient. The number and importance of its cures
in the ague districts, are literally beyond account
and we believe without a parallel in the history
of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratitied by the
acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures
effected in obstinate cases, and where other reme
dies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the AGUE CURE daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from the torpid
ity of tho Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimu
lating the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
markable cures, where other medicines had failed.
