The agents of the Kansas Pacific Railway present, in another column, an enterprise possessing features which seem W* merit special comment. Having built their road from Kansas City to Sheridan, and found it a profitable and promising investment, the Managers now propose to continue it to Denver, and thus open up the trade to the Rocky Mountains. That much, it is hoped, will be completed by June next- and its agents, Messrs. Dabnev, Morgan A Co., and M. K. Jessup A Co., bankers and merchants of high reputation, now tender, through our columns, a loan of #6,500,000 for this purpose. These gentlemen state with clearness the reasons which have induced them to give this loan their indorsement. The Kan sas Pacific Railway now runs through the centre of Kansas, and is in suceesssful and profitable operation for over four hundred miles. We remember the country through which it passes as a wide, open plain, ap parently as boundless and rolling as the sea, known only to a few tubes of wild, roving Indians, and occasionally to a venturesome squad of stage-guards and herdsmen, who ministered a primitive hospitality every fifteen or twenty miles. Topeka, Salina and Manhattan were little more than the geographical designations of towns that hoped to he. Hays, Ellsworth, Shetidan, and the twenty stopping-places now upon its time-table, did not exist, even in the imagination of the pioneers. Danver was a mere cluster of mining cabins and Indian huts. The Cheyennes and Arrapaboesheld solemn council or high revelry in its ways. There was no law. but a great deal of rude, summary justice, which grieved sober be lievers in habeas corpus and trial by jury. Now, Denver is as neat, well built, and comfortable as Hartford, with schools and churches, rows of brick stores, hotels, and tasteful dwellings, which recall the luxury and comfort of the East. Nature has rimmed and fringed it with the noble Rocky Mountains, whose bills glisten in snow, while their sides are clothed with deep and rich midsummer greener}'. It is now proposed to unite this city with the East by an extension ol the Kansas Pa cific Railway. To do this, it will be neces sary to build 220 miles of road. The Mana gers are wise not to defer it, in the vain hope of being able to induce Congress to vote them large subsidies. The Government has built one road to the Pac'f • at a great ex pense. Private citizens are quite ready and willing to build another, especially when those who ask their aid can show as good a balance sheet,as the Kansas Managers. St. Louis is on the natural rou'e ftpm New York to the Rocky Mountains and San F,nciaco. It is the metropolis of the mighty Valley of the Mississippi: "id the extension of this road is a new ari important step in the great highway between St. Louis and San Francisco. The I.'nion Pacific (Omaha) Road has as much business as it eau manage; and we have grave doubts whether it will be whU to kbp open a. tlvrongU r.ioto niuni ttn." midwintcr snow and ice of the Sier.a Nevada*. A through road must finally trav erse the warm countries of New Mexico and Arizona, along the thirty-fifth parallel or be low it. General Palmer has surveyed a ronte where snow rarely falls—every mile of which opens rich mining deposits. It embraces the oldest towns on the Continent. The country demands such a road, and this ex tension is a step toward completing it. It is interesting to note the progress of a railway which draw.- its business from a country ten years ago conceded to the buffa lo and the aborigines. In April the Kansas road earned, in gross inc0me,5217,914 49, of which $93,291 01 were balanced by expenses, leaving a net profit of $124,622 88. In May the earnings were $222,103 46; the expenses $107,987 77, leaving a profitof $ 114,175 69. Two months' aggregate,s23B,79B 57. There are few roads in our older and riper Fates that would not be content with as good a re sult. Bat the truth is, these new countries have much growth in them. We have but to touch our Western prairies and hills with the iron waod, and cities spring up; towns clustei along the streams and highways, and broad plains blossom with wheat, corn, and barley, school houses and churches take the place ofthe block house and the fort, and the great rivers are disturbed bv steam and wa ter-wheel, So our civilization has marched over the prairie*, is advancing over the plains, and in a few months we shall have the vast treasures of Colorado and the gold countries under contribution. The Piesi dent, in his last Inaugural, poiuted to those hills as the "strong box," whose treasures would pay the National debt. This railroad is the key to open it. We, therefore, look with pleasure upon this effort of private citi zens t0 carry another road to the Pacific. Ne must have at least three railways across the Continent. Wc must enable the North ern and Southern and Middle States respec lively to reach the furthest West by the most convenient way. We look upon the ctate of Kansas with an interest not far re moved from affection. This child of tears, and blood and agony, now marches to the dignity and grandeur of an empire, and well deserves the proud, fond name of "the Mas sachusctts of the West.'' To this road she owes much of her prosperity; ami, now that its owner-propose to carry it to Denver and wed the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi \ alley, we hail them as men doing great Na tional service, and earnestly hope they will receive from our people prompt and earnest support. The loan they offer is certainly a good one. It yields high interest in gold, has many years to run. is secured by large grant.- of land and a profitable railway, and la indorsed by men whose word gives it the force of an irrefragable "guarantee.—A! V rnltunc, A ROTTEN PLANK. What the late copperhead Convention lacked in honesty and consistency it made up in brass and impudence. The fourth resolution of their platform reads as follows: /'■stolrnd, 5. That the movements now being made for the amelioration of the con dition of the laboring man bave our most cordial co operation. Co operation in behalf of the laboring man. except just before election to gain his votes, has never been a part of the creed of copperhead party or its predecessor the Democratic party. It is to-day and has fcecu for years the open and unblushing ad vocate of free-trade, which would reduce the wages of the American laborer to a level with British paupers. Its ablest loaders have openly advocated free-trade for no oth er reason than that it would reduce the wages of the laboring man. How tko cop perhead Convention could incorporate such a plank in its platform and then place upon it as a candidate, in preference to his poorer rivals, one whose only claim was his wealth coined from the sweat of the laboring poor, passes cur comprehension. We knew that the Convention was the embodiment of brass and impudence but we did not think it was capable of any such deliverances. The copperhead party was the advocate, defend er and ally of the slave holder's rebellion, its leaders boldly promulgated the doctrine that capital should own labor, one of its brightest lights declared that free trade which would reduce the wages of the Araer ican laborer to ten cents a day would cover the country with benefits and blessings, the candidate they have nominated amassed a large portion of his immense wealth by grinding the faces of the laboring poor, who worked his mines and railroads, and yet they have the hardihood and hypocrisy to at tempt to cajole the laboring man into voting for the purse-proud aristocrat whom they have nominated as their candidate for Gov ernor. The policy of their party has always bceu to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The poor man according to their late preaching should be owned by the rich man so that his board and clothing should be his only reward for his labor and in order that the proud aristocrat might grow rich and fat upon tbc profits of the poor man's labor. To this end they have been the friends aod advocates of slavery, the hirelings of british free-traders and the enemies of American industry. Under the name of Democracy they have ever been the upholders of aris tocracy. like their rebel allies they carry fa' o colors, and under the guise of friend ship w. u!d earn power in order to blast the hopes of the industrious, honest, laboring poor. Falsehood and deception have al ways been and still are the most prominent characteristics of the party. In 1844 they cried Polk. Dallas and the tariff of 1842 in or der to carry Pennsylvania and the moment they ascended to power they repealed the tariff of 1842 and caused such damage to the manufacturing interests of Pennsylvania that she has not yet entirely recovered from its effects. In 1,860 and 1861 and during the whole war of the rebellion they called them selves union men while in the very act of aiding and abetting rebellion. Sucli is the past record of the party that throws out the above bait to American working men. It is fa'se, dishonest, hypocritical. Let the laboring man beware of ca-ring his vote for a party that has always beeD his enemy and the enemy of bis country. Its professions are false, its intentions dishonest. Its rec ord contradicts its professions. Let igno- I Ultnluus iJcffcilt In; its just ic-vrard. PACKER AND IIIS TAXES. Carbon county and the borough of Mauch Chunk, during the recent war, contracted a large debt for bounty to those who went into the army. Honorably to meet this debt it became necessary to raise money Ly taxation. The a-sessor assessed Asa Packer wiih one million of dollars railroad stock, when in fact he owned about four millions. Packer, like other residents of Mauch Chunk, paid his taxes the fir.-t, year, but to evade future payment gave out that he had changed his residence to the city of Philadelphia. The alleged change not being apparent to any one hut himself, (he and his family still con tinuing to occupy the spacious mansion in Mauch Chunk as before), the proper au thorities again assessed upon him the usual taxes as on all other residents of the borough. He refused payment, again pro testing that his residence was at the Merchants Hotel, Philadelphia, and iho rc su'r was the amount had to be recovered from him by suit at law. and ever since then the authorities of Mauch Chunk, with mo*t wonderful kindness and magnanimity, have permitted the poor man to repudiate the payment of his share of the patriotic bounty taxes, and required the rich men of the town to pay their own share and Mr. Packer's also; and all this on the pitiful plea t hat he had changed his residence. The fact is, he has opened a coal aud railroad office in Philadelphia, but there stands his elcj a ,t family residence, in Mauch Chunk, occupied by himself and family year after year, a* it has always been. Is not this a miserable subterfuge, unworthy any honest man, and much more a man who aspires to the high and honorable places in the country? Let hiiu set an example of which honorable m n will uot be ashamed; and let him pay his share of the taxes, due the soldier, his widow, snd his orphan, before he asks their votes or their influence to elevate hitn over them as their ruler.— llarrisbnrg Tie graph. * 4 U RAY-HAIRED PATRIOTISM." When Asa Packer was dining and wining tie Ohio traitor, Tallandigham, before Pennsylvania ftlt a rebel invasion, be was di playing his true political colors as a rebel sympathizer. Then came McCausland's raid on Chambersbarg, and Lee's advance to Gettysburg. Imagine the horror which thrilled every Democratic heart in the Com monwealth, when it was learned that the rebel troops were sacking and burning Dem ocratic property with no more compunction than if its owners were Abolitionists dyed in the wool. Copperhead sympathies proved to be no protection whatever. The Democratic mind, throughout the State was demoralized and "all tore up," by this revelation of rebel ingratitude. Then was sten a touching spectacle! Yallandigham's wealthy entertainer, that warm-hearted friend of Southern rights, the Nabob of the Lehigh, became a "gray-haired patriot." and promised a continuance of wages to all bis operatives who would volunteer. This is the substance of the latest Democratic electioneering novel. While the "wrinkled front of war" was so far off as to be out of sight from I'ennsylvanian eyes, Mr. Vallan digham's friend Packer felt easy in the in dulgence of his rebel sympathies. He saw the case in another light when a ruthless it.\ asion trampled on Democratic property and threatened his railways, canals, coal mines und banks with ruin. His "gray haired patriotism" lay then, as now, all in his pockets, and was never heard of, or sua p-cted by his c'oscst friends, untii these were threatened with rebel pillage. The less said about this matter, by the opposition press, the better. — PZtsburqh Gtuxttc. A HID FOR VOTES. The fifth resolution of the Democratic platform, adapted at Harrisburg, on the 14th iast., is a bid for the votes of the la boring classes. It is in the following words: "That the movement now being made for the amelioration of the condition of the laboring man, bave our most cordial co-op eration." The utter insincerity of this resolution is shown in the fact that every copperhead paper in the land is in favor of free trade, which instead of ameliorating the condition of the laboring man would reduce his wages to a level with the paupers of Europe. Such i* the Consistency of copperhead pro fessions. Their hope is to deceive the peo ple and gain votes by fair professions. The Copperhead party has no more sympathy with the laboring man now than, when in defence of slavery it advocated the princi ple that capital should own labor. Cop perhead principles are at enmity with the interests of the laboring man and always have been. They would to-day if they had it in their power make the laborer a slave or a pauper and they are the unblushing advo cates of measures calculated to bring the laboring man to this degradation. Their professions are hollow and false and are only designed to deceive the ignorant and unsuspecting. South rn Election.— Kentucky and Ala bama held elections on Monday last. Ken tucky elected a state Treasurer and Legia ture and as usually went largely rebel. No one ever expected anything else. From Alabama we have no news yet. In the Presidential election last year Grant had a majority of 4280. The election is for mem bets of Congress and the chances are in fa vor of tho Republican candidates. Ten nessee held an election on Thursday the sth inst., for state officers and a Legislature. The canvas in this State is bitter to the last degree. The majority in favor of secession was 55,224 in 1861. In 1867 Gov. Brown low defeated Ethcridge for the Governor ship by 51,936 votes, and Grant had 30,446 majority in 1868 —the vote standing 50,757 to 20,311. The last Legislature had 108 Republican majority on joint ballot, twenty five in the Senate and eighty-three in the House. The Congressional representation has been six Republicans, two Democrats. The Republicans are at variance on Stokes and Senier for Governor. Brownlow says and preaches that Seater must be elected, that he only is loyal and true. But Stokes has obtained tbc indorsement of several members of the Cabinet. The Democrats give aid to Senter. Stokes finds his reliance in the colored vote and in tho aid of Radical Republicans. COPPERHEADS call for a reform in the management of the financial affairs of the State and Federal government. Under Re publican management the state debt has been largely reduced and the taxes upon real estate abolished, while in the first five months of Grant's administration $43,009.- 000 of the national debt has been paid off and the Internal Revenue taxes reduced at the same time. What reform do copper heads want? Under copptrhead rule in Pennsylvania the debt and taxes continual ly increased for years until the debt exceed ed $40,000,000 and every foot of land in the Commonwealth was taxed. Under a cop perhead administration the national treasury was completely bankrupted in time of peace, before the war. Which do the people like better, Copperhead or Republican man agement? If llicy ptcft.. of Jc.Pt and taxes, let them vote for Copperhead candidates. If they desire to continue pay ing off debts both State and Federal, and the abolition of taxes let them vote for a continuance of Republican rule. WHO IS PEKSHINGT This question is answered by the Somer set Herald and Whig. That journal says : "Pershing is a third or fourth-rate country lawyer, enjoying a plodding business as a scrivener and general county counsel. lie has never, unassisted, tried a dozen cases in that uiany years of practice, and we doubt rnueh if his voice has ever been heard at the bar of the court on whose bench he aspires to sit. His public career his been confined to a few years' service in the lower House of our State Legislature, where ho made a political reputation so extensive that one half his party journals in the State do not even know how to spell his name." THE copperhead platform says the soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of our coun try to victory must be remembered. How can we better remember their services than bv rewarding them with offices of honor, profit and trust. Gov. Geary has been a gallant soldier in two wars. llow then can our copperhead friends refrain from voting for him, and against the bloated bondhold ing, stay at home, Packer. Let cops live up to this resolution of their platform and vote for Governor Gcai y. THE Copperheads have a vast amount of trouble with their man Pershing. A can didate for supreme Judge is usually selected because of his distinction as lawyer or judge, but l'ershing turns out to have no distinc tion of any kind and the party is anxiously inquiring "who is Pershing." Now it is hardly worth their while to inquire for the brief space from now to October. After that they will not care to know. Ma. GALBRAITH of Krie has declined the rather dubious honor of the Chairman ship of the Copperhead State Central Com mittee, as he saw the machine would inev itably bo run in the ground. William Mulchler E.q., of Easton has been appoint ed to tun tho rotten craft until October, when Mutchler and his whole crew will find themselves swamped muchly. GALBRAITH DECLINES.—The Eric Re. pMioan learns "from Wro. A. Galbraith, Esq., that he has positively declined the position ' of Chairman of the State Demo cratic Central Committee, and "has so tele graphed' to Buckalcw. and the other "powers that be" in that party. What's the matter? WHEN Geary was fighting the battles of Lis country, Packer was coining money out ot the necessities of that same country by selling coal to the government at cxhorbi tant prices. Remember the soldier. BEN. V. ade, in his account of The China men, says: ' 'They never repudiate a debt." The Democratic hatred of the Celestials is easily accounted for after that piece of infor mation—John won't make a good Demo crat. "Our soldiers and sailors must be grate fully remembered. ' — Copperhead platform. No soldier appears on the copperhead tieket. The way to remember the soldier is to vote lor Geary. BLOATED bondholders are a stench in the nostrils of Copperheadism. As a matter of course they won't touch Packer with his twenty millions. WALLACE, the Domocratic chieftain, tbink there are no grounds for his party to work on since the passage of the Registry Act—coffee grounds we presume he means. THE PUBLIC DEBT statement for August Ist, shows a reduction of over seven millions for the month of July, making over forty three millions in the first five mouths of Republican administration. A REVOLUTION headed by Ex President Martincx and Jerez has broken out iti Nic aragua. So far the revolutionists have Ecized Leon and several other towns, and have met with no opposition. THF. New York Uerald thinks "the fight iu Pennsylvania lor Governor is between money and glory. Packer has the money, and Geary has the glorv and the inside track.'' : Ql'EßT.— Was the word "white" omit ted from tho "soldier and sailor" clause iu the Democratic platfoim for the purpose of securing negro 6oldier votes hereafter? Geary's Republican Claims. Because he has been a faithful, efficient and honest Chief Magistrate. Because he is the nominee and repre sentative of a party that stood by the country in the hour of danger, and that stands by the principles of justice and freedom, upon which our Government is based. Because he has been tried and not found wanting, neither in his devotion to the principles of true Republicanism, nor in his integrity in adhering to the strict line of principle in aH his official acts. Because he is a man whose private char acter is unblemished, and whose habits are such as to meet the approval of all good citizens. Because Pennsylvania owes it to her honor and fair name not to permit a brave and gallant soldier, who drew his sword lor her safety in the hour of her deadly peril, and who has served her faithfully in time of peace, to be defeated by one who sympa thised with her enemies when tbe dark cloud of battle lowered, and the fieree con fiiet for national existence {urged around her. Because a just regard for the memory ol the martyred dead, who fell in the heroic struggle for national existence, forbids the State to place iu high effirii! position those who sympathized with their enemies. Because the triumph of the Democratic candidates in this State would be the tri umph of the principles of Free Trade, and a deadly blow at the poliey of Protection to American Industry—a policy to which the hardy sons of tho Old Keystone have always been devoted. Because the triumphant re-election of Governor Geary would rejoice the hearts of the true friends of the natioo everywhere, while his defeat would bring joy into tbe camp of its eDemie?. Messages of Congratulation. The following congratulatory messages between the Emperor of the French and President Grant were sent over the French cable immediately at its completion : PARIS, J uly 28—8:45 A. M. To the Secretray of State, Washington : The Emperor of the French to the Presi dent of the United States, Washington—l am highly gratified to inaugurate the new line of telegraph which unites France with the United States, by sending to you the expression of my good wishes for you and for the prosperity of the United States. NAPOLEON. WASHINGTON, July 28, 1869. _ The President of the United States to the Emperor of the Erench : I cordially re ciprocate your good wishes, and trust that the liberal policy of the United States, pur suant to which this cable has been landed, may result in many such means of commu nication, especially between this country and its earliest ally and friend. U. S. GRANT. The Board of Directors of the French cable have sent to Sir James Anderson, the commander of the expidition which has just laid the French cable, the following dis patch : "Please offer to the inhabitants of Dux tjjry. Mnss., and to the people of the Joited States generally, onr moo* coruiai thanks for their very friendly reception of the cable, which we trust may unite the three greatest nations still more closely in amicable bonds." Family Fends in the Sooth. C'orsican vendettas alone furnish a paral lel to the deadly feuds which exist among eertain Southern families. The Boltons and Dickenscs, of" Memphis, have been quarreling for twelve years, sometimes re sorting to the courts of law, but more fre quently uring the pistol and bowie knife. The Avalanche , of that city, relates what is called a "characteristic incident" in which the two chiefs of the families participated. It appears that one night last may, Colonet D'ckens was wounded by an unknown per son who entered his residence, suddenlv ex tinguished the light, and commenced firing indiscriminately. Two persons were killed, and another besides the Colonel was wound ed. Colonel Dickens firmly believed that it was the elder Bolton, who had planned the assassination and consequently vowed ven geance. The other day, an opportunity of fered. Col. Dickens found Mr. Wade Bol ton talking with a friend on the street, and without the slightest warning, fired his re volver at him. The bullet entered Bolton's left arm at the shoulder joint, going through and entering his side, inflicting a severe, but not dangerous wound. Dickens was after wards arrested and admitted to bail in the sum of five thousand dollars. Here we have the vendetta of the Orlandini and the Collonna over again, and as nobody is ever punished for crimes of this kind at the South, such a vendetta is likely to go on, as it used to in Corsica, until there are not ma ny left alive on either side. EVERY day brings forth new testimony to the efficacy of that well known remedy Hoofland's German Bitters. Many thous ands of persons who are to-day suffering from disorders of the digestive organs, who are emaciated, weak, and unable to attend to their business, could soon become well, hearty and robust, by the nse of a few bot tles of this bitters. Dyspepsia. Liver Complaint, and Debility of the System, soon vanish before this pow erful remedy. Its effects are almost mir acnlous. Hon. James Ross Snoden, Prothonotary of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, writes: Hoofiand s German Bitters is a very use ful article as a tonic, and as an appetiser. It is not an intoxicating drink, and may be used beneficially by persons of all ages. Respectfully, Yours, JAS. ROSS SNODEN. The high character of those who testify to the merits of Hoofland's Bitters, should induce the most sceptical to give it a fair trial. Hoofland's German Bitters is free from anv alcoholic admixture. Hoofland's German Tonic is a combina tion of the ingredients of Hoofland's Bitters with pure Santa Cruz Rum, orange, anise, &e., making a pleasant and agreeable prep' aration for those requiring an Alcholic Htimulous, medicinall combined.

His son, with a large portion of his command, is stated to have joined the Cohan army. A cargo of slaves has been landed at Colorado bay for the Ha vana planters. THE Reading Times says that Mr. Packer amassed a colossal fortune by grinding the facer of the poor. Years ago he made heavy contracts for boating coal to New V ork and got a kind of monopoly of the business. He carried his oppression of boatman so far that they rebelled against him, and resorted to a strike. He went to South Easton, where the boatmen had con gregated, to compel them to continue in his service; "but so violent was the feeling against him that he was seized by the men, thrown into the Lehigh, and would have drowned but for a timely rescue. So exas perated were the men against Packer, that they drove the man who had saved his life from the ground with stones!" THREE ROYAL events are promised to Prance.

No doubt some custom ers may be lost to me, but I flatter myself, that it will be only those from whom I cannot collect present accounts. All goods will be sold at about one-half the profit now paid by customers. The People often complain of Bedford prices being higher than elsewhere, and doubtleso true to some extent, and fc r the reason that go"d customers have had to | ay for others goods, with an addi tional profit on their own.

NEW AND GOOD BOOKS. Having for four years post labored to improve and enlarge tbe IXQCIKKR and to BO #ll it with the lateet newa that oar people would have little or no need of any other paper, wc have found that one of tbe chief difficulties in oar way ha* been that of getting a sufficient number of subscribers to pay tbe expenses necessarily incurred in mak ing a county paper what it ought to be. Though the IKQCIBCR ban a larger number of subscribers than any other paper in the county, it atill has bat little more than half what it ought to have to justify ui in the outlay necessary to keep it up to the standard at which we have steadily aimed. The T.VQUIUKR will continue to be the exponent and advocate of a thorough-going Republicanism, and of retrenchment, economy and reform in the administration of the affairs of county, state and nation. It will aiso, as usual, contain a larger amount of late news and carefully selected gener al reading matter tban 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 Sute and District tickets are of tbe 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 tbe Ixituißcit in the hands of every Republican in the county. We therefore call up on our friends to help us pat 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 $2.00 in advance, we will give one number of Scott's novels. 20 cent edition. For two new subscribers and $4.00 in advance, we will give one number of Scott's novels, 20 cent ed., and one uutnber of Dickcn's, 23 cent ed.

Dickcn't works, or one copy of Ten nyson's or Burn's poems, worth $1.25. For six new subscribers and $12.00 in advance, one copy of Diamond Dickens, Longfellow or Wbitticr, worth $1.50. For twenty new subscribers and SIO.OO in advance, a complete edition of Dickcn's works (25 vols, bound in paper.) Fortwenty-five new subscribers and $50.00 in ad vance, one large family bible, bound in best morocco, full gilt.

REUEUBERED FRIF.RD—I thought it well to wait another week before writing, to see if I con tinued to improve, as I have been doing for some time, under the treatment of the new medicine, and I am happy to tell you that I am getting bet ter—even faster than when yon were hero. I com menced the use of DODD'S NERVINE without anybody advising me to it. When 1 began with it I could only walk from my bed to the chair. My trouble has been extreme pain in the head, and has las'ed over three years. All the medicine I have heretofore taken has failed to give any ro iicf. lam now able to go up and down r'tairs, and daily improving. I consider the NERVINE the best medicine I ever found, and shall contin ue its use, for I am confident of entire recovery. I have taken only three bottles, and would not be without it on any account. 23jaly4w Very truly, Mrs. I. 8. NOTE.
