Tbi Prohibition State Convention at
ITairisburg last week was composed as
follows : Mechanics and Laborers, 271 ;
Old Soldiers, 143 ; Preachers, 133 ; Law
yers, 55 ; School teachers, 27 ; Doctors,
19; Total. 658.
Perfi afs as shoit a will aa ever was
written was that of Mr. Burckhardt, an
American, one of the victims of the
recent disaster on the Matterhorn, in
Switzerland, who wrote his will with a
pencil on a card, which was found in
the snow by the side of his body. It
reads : "I am dying on the Matterhorn.
I leave all I possess to you, my dear sis
ter. God bless you."
The meeting of the Republican Con
gressional Conferrees of this district
which was announced to take place at
Somerset on Tuesday last, has been
postponed for a week, owing to the ina
bility of Blair county's candidate, John
A. Lemon, to be present at the confer
ence. Each of the four counties com
posing the district presents a candidate,
Cambria having named Jacob M. Camp
bell, the pieseut member, Bedford
pieaenting J. II. Longenecker, Blair
asking for John A. Lemon, and Somerset
for Edward Scull.
The readers of the Freeman are well I
aware that we are opposed to Prohibits j
ry legislation ana mat we ao not neiieve
that men can be reclaimed from the vice
of intemperance by an act of the legisla
ture. While thus believing, however,
we admit the right of others to view the
matter differently, and concede their
honesty of purpose, while at the same
time we regard Prohibition as a cure for
drunkenness to be utterly visionary and
Impracticable. In promoting the pur
poses of a political party we lelieve that
its honors should always be conferred
opon those who fight for its ascendpney,
hnd hence we cannot but regard the
nomination of Hon. A. A. Barker, of
this place, as the candidate for Lieuten
ant Governor on the Prohibition ticket,
as an honor eminently deserved and as a
mark of confidence well bestowed. He
Is a progressive and radical friend of
temperance and has a perfect right to
select his own weapons to carry on his
warfare against whiskey, much as in cur
judgment he is mistaken in his choice
of methods. We do not doubt Mr. Bar
ker's honesty of purpose. Why should
we? His reputation has always been
that of a stricily honest man in his bus
iness relations and why not therefore
honest in his Prohibition crusade ? Since
he came to this county thirty jears ago
Mr. Barker has been a hard working,
enterprising and useful man, and as such
he has always eoioyed the respect of his
fellow citizens. He works just as hard
for the Prohibition cause as he did for
the Republican party, and as he would
for any other caose or party whost prin
ciples and aims he believed to e right.
Although he will not be elected Lieu
tenant Governor In November he well
deserved the recognition at the hands
of the State Convention which has been
Accorded him.
Ix the course of his remarks calling
the Prohibition State Convention to or
der, Mr. Barker, Chairman of the State
Committee, is reported assaying : "The
history of the Prohibition party is similar
to that of the abolitionists whose cause
triumphed in the election of Abraham
Lincoln." This means, of course, that
Lincoln was elected as the representa
tive of the Abolition party whose mis
sion was the destruction of slavery. To
say, however, that Mr. Lincoln was
elected for the purpose of destroying
elavery.or in any way interfering with
it, is a plain pervers'.on of history. Mr.
Lincoln knew very well the meaning of
bis election, and in order to quiet and
completely remove the apprehensions of
the Southern people as to the purpose of
his administration regarding slavery, be
used the following strong and emphatic
language in his Inaugural address: "I
have no purpose, directly or indirectly,
to interfere with the institution of sla
very in the States where it exists. I
believe 1 have no lawful right to do so,
and I have no inclination to do so.
Those who nominated and elected me
did so with the full knowledge that I
had made this and many similar decla
rations and Lad never recanted them."
Mr. Lincoln believed that he was elected
to preserve the integrity of the L'nion
and not to help or binder slavery. That
this was so be said on another occasion:
"If I can preserve the Union without
slavery I will do so, but If I can only
preserve the Union with slavery, I will
do that." With him the preservation
of the Union was his one supreme pur
pose and tbe abolition of slavery or its
existeuce wre matters of secondary
consideration. The civil war which
the South foolishly and madlj inaugu
rated was bound to destroy slavery and
did drsroy it. but Mr. Lincoln was not
elected o lnifrfr-re witu it utter direct
ly 01 indirectly, as he himself eaid.
About one-half of the Democratic
exchanges received at this office spell
the name of William J. Brennen, the
Democratic candidate for Auditor Ger
eral, with the letter a in the second syl
lable, making it Brennan, whereas the
the correct spelling is Brennen. If he
should happen to receive one more vote
than N orris, his Republican opponent,
the mere fact that his name was printed
in some of the counties with an a instead
of an e, wou!d not, of course, vitiate his
election? His name, however, should be
printed correctly at the head of every
Democratic newspaper, and those that
have piinted it in the way that we have
indicated above should correct the error,
trifling though it be.
Mr. Wolfe, the Prohibition candi
date for Governor, expresses the belief
that bis vote in the State will not be less
than sixty thousand and may possibly
reach seventy -five thousand. Wolfe be
ing a candidate, his estimate must be
taken with a very large grain of allow
ance, since the wish of a cauJidate is
usually father to his thought. Two
years ago the Prohibition leaders claimed
very confidently that St. John would re
ceive fifty thousand votes in the State,
whereas he only leceived fifteen thou
sand, and Mr. Wolfe may now be equal
ly wide of the mark. At this early
stage of the campaign estimates vt the
strength of a candidate in November
are nothing more than guesses, to be
increased or diminished in their urcer
tainty as the contest progresses and be
comes more fully developed.
The Prohibition State Convention
met at Harrisburg on Monday of last
week and continued In sessioo two days,
which was just twice as long as that
occupied by either the Republican or
Democratic Conventions which preceded
it. This was perhaps principally due to
the fact that large bodies move slowly,
the Convention having been composed
of 653 delegates. Hon. A. A. Barker,
Chairman of the State Committee, called
the Convention to order, and A. A. Ste
vens, of Blair county, was selected as
permanent President. The following
ticket was nominated, each candidate
going through "by acclamation :" Gov
ernor, Charles S. Wolfe, of Union
count ; Lieutenant Governor, A. A.
Barker, of Cambria county ; Auditor
General, Charles L. Hawley, of Lacka
wanna county ; Secretary of Iuternal
Affairs, John M. Emery, of Lawrence
county, and Congressman-at-large, John
M. Palmer, a colored clergyman of Al
legheny county. A very lengthy decla
ration of principles of tha usual prohibi
tion stamp was adopted, in which, among
other things, the enforcement by Appro
priate legislation of the provisions of the
XVIIth article of the Constitution is
demanded, and the question of female
suffrage which has heretofore formed
one of the planks in Prohibition plat-j
forms, is severely let alone. The Chair-
f ... ,r
man of the State Committee, Mr. Bar-
ker, decl.ned a re-election, and Trofessor
H. S. Patton, of Lancaster county, was
elected his successor. Contributions
were taken up on the floor of the Con-
,. , .
vention for the purpose of carrying on
the campaign, and about set-en thousand
dollars obtained. There is no doubt aoa should receive tbe vote of every
whatever that the Convention was Jemocrt in the county. He has been

The nomination of Chauncey F. Black
for Governor by the Democratic State
Convention is a sore disappointment to
the Republican leaders. It is not what
they wanted nor is it what they confi
dently expected. As we said last week
if William A. Wallace had been nomin
ated, able and pure a man as he confess
edly is, the vials of Republican misrep
resentation and abuse would have been
freely poured out npon his devoted
head. Black's nomination has entirely
changed the Republican programme and
left Thomas V. Cooper, Chairman of the
State Committee, out in the cold. Like
Oihello, his occupation "is gone," and
he is now compelled to relinquish his
contemplated mode of attack upon Wal
lace and invent a distinctly different one
against Black, if he can. He will find
it to be a very difficult and perplexing
task a work to which he is entirely
unequal notwithstanding the admitted
fertility of his resources. Partisan and
uncalled for abuse of candidates is the
bane of the politics of the day with the
press of both parties, but so far as we
are concerned we propose to ive it a
wide berth during the present campaign.
- - - j
e want to see Black elacted in a
square, maBly content, and not io a
campaign of calumny and abuse, of
crimination and recrimination. The
Public Lelier, of Philadelphia, is conce
ded to be an able and impartial journal,
prepared on all occasions to point out
the weak points 'n the claims of a can
didate, but always ready to do even
handed and substantial Justice. In what
it says about Chauncey F. Black ths
ledger has set an example worthy of all
commendation. After regretting the
fact that under the Constitution Gov
ernor Pattison is ineligible as a candi
date, the Ledger says : That being out
of the question, the Convention has done
the next best thing by naming for the
succession Lieutenant Governor Black,
an unquestionably able, fit and experi
enced man. But few men have been so
thoroughly trained in politics of the
broad gauge pattern as Ch
Black. Theoretically and by close ob
servation he has been in the atmosphere
of public affairs since his infancy, hav
ing as bis preceptor in that branch of
human knowledge his very learned and
distinguished father. Later on he has
bad direct and close contact with the
public affairs of his own State, and is
far better qualified and equipped in those
respects than most nominees for the
Gubernatorial chair. Intellectually be
has bricht gifts, which have been utilized
mainly (though anonymous!) in editori
al writings. Mauy a man has read his
I'Mjuuvuons wunout knowing the

Democratic Onntj Ticket.
The ticket nomiuated by the Democ
racy of this county, and which will be
found at the head of this paper, is a good
and stiotig one. It is believed by many
that it has been growing in strength
since the day it was nominated, and
markedly so since the Republicans pre
sented their ticket. The nominees were
fairly selected, and the candidates are
individually so well known to be men of
character and worth that every Democrat
can give them his earnest and siccere
support. Even members of other parties
can conscientiously support them, know
ing that the duties entrusted to them
will be performed with ability, and for
the best interests of the people. Every
indication at this time points to tht suc
cess of the whole ticket.
The nominees for the Legislature are
exceptionally good ones. Daniel Mc
Laughlin, Esq., of Johnstown, is an
able and successful lawyer, and while be
has always taken an energetic interest
in the success of the Democratic party
and its nominees, has never been an of
fice seeker. The results of his services
for the Democracy will compare favora
bly with any other man's in the county.
He is a man of inatuie judgment, will
carefully weigh and scrutinize all sides
of the many questions brought before
the Legislature, and will then act in a
bold and vigorous and able way in main
taining what be believes to be right.
His fitness, his integrity and his high
moral character is known, and will not
be questioned. He has given the new
constitution special study, and will be
found at ail times and under all circum
stances insisting upon the proper legisla
tion being enacted to carry its wise and
beneficent provisions into effect.
John S. Rhey, Esq., of Ebensburg-, the
other nominee for the Legislature, has
well known qualities and tastes for leg
islation. He served in the Legislature
from Armstrong county in the sessions
of 1850-'51-'52, with distinguished abil
ity, and was elected Ppeaker of the
House in 1S52. His admirable fltnesa
for the position cannot be questioned,
and his nearly forty years of uninter
rupted and valuable services in behalf
of the Democratic party certainly enti
tle him to the favorable consideration
of the Democratic voters. For many
years be has been the sole editorial wri
ter on the Ebensburg Freeman, and
his words of wisdom and counsel have
strengthened the true political faith of
many, cheered the despondent, and
made the weak strong. With John S.
Rhey and Daniel McLaughlin In the
Legislature, Cumbria county would
again be at the front, for in knowledge
of political history and the wints of the
people, and ability to clearly express
their views and principles, tney wou'd
be second to no others. These gentlemen
deserve to, and will be elected.
The nomination of Mr. Harry A.
Shoemaker for Prothonotary is an en
dorsement of the way he has conducted
that office for the past term, and an ac
knowledgment of his ability and worth.
He has been one of the best and most
accommodating officers Cambria county
has ever had. and has conducted the du
ties of the Prothonotary 's office in such
way as to satisfy the most exacting de
mands of the people. He deserves the
confidence and support of the people, and
will be elected by a large majority.
The nomination of Mr. Celestine J.
Blair for Register and Recorder was
worthily bestowed and is a compliment
i u llje yuuK democracy. Mr. liiair
j comes of stock tbat have always been
stauDch Democratai and bave ever been
found battling in tbe front rank for the
, success of Democrats. He is a young
man r ar"''y, careful habits, and in- .
TJl?Zu? conjd"le experi-
ence in public business. He will make 1
an efficient, faithful and competent ,
Register and Recorder, and deserves I
ufc attain ruirusieu it io nim. tie is a
young man of ability and character, and
possesses rare qualifications for the per
formance of the duties of that office. He
is accommodating and arreealil. anrl
makes a faithful and obliging official.
His majority will be large.
Jacob Shafer, of Allegheny township,
is the nominee for P001 House Director.
We have no acquaintance with Mr. Sha
fer, but the fact that he received a
handsome vote at the primary election
at bis home and in Ebensburg, where
he is well known, is evidence that he
stands well with his neighbors and ac
quaintances. The above is the ticket presented to
the Democracy of Cambria. Each can
didate shonld receive the full party sup
port. The State and the Nation are now
under Democratic control, and Cambria
should increase itf Democratic majority.
Let us begin at once to deserve and
secure victory by presenting a solid
front to the demoralized enemy. Johns
town, Democrat.
IRELAND'S STRUUttLE.
Delegate Redmond's Address Before the
Chicago Convention.
Chicago, 111., August 19. In the
Irish Convention to day Chairman Fitz-
i7h. 1" Ik "V?""u..m,a'
vu7 nou i i nauicuttiiy delegation.
The
duty which devolves nnon m
colleagues and myself of representing
the Irish nation at home at this great
gathering of the Irish nation abroad, Is
one :n which the honor is great and the
responsibility heavy. Perhaps the great
est glory of our nation is to be found in
the Tact that our people, driven by mis
fortune and misrule from the land of
their fathers, and coming to this land
rude and ignorant and poor, have yet
ircu auio w urni Bu oonoraDie part in
building up the fortunes of America and
to give to the world undeniable proof
tbat in addition to the qualities of fidel
ity and honesty. Irishmen under a free
constitution can be worthy sons and
good citizens of their adopted country.
The hardships, the oppressions, and tbe
miseries which drove you and your
fathers from Ireland have wedded your
hearts to Ireland's cause by ties which
neither prosperity nor distance nor time
can destroy or weaken. The principle
underlying the movement for which this
this convention Is assembled, is the un
questionable recognition of the national
ity of Ireland. We are working not
simply for the removal of grievances or
the amelioration of the material condi
tion of our people. Nothing. I think, is
plainer than if Ireland had In tho past
uauuuueu jinncipies sne could easily
have bartered her nation! rirht
England and in return have obtained a
certain amount of material prosperity.
But Ireland has preferred rags and an
unconquered spirit of liberty to favors
by national dishonor. Tbe principle
embodied in the Irish movement of to
day is just the same principle which was
the soul of every Irish movement for the
last seven centuries, a settlement honor
able to England and Ireland alike. Such
a settlement, we believe, was offered to
us by bCi. Gladstone, and quite apart
from the increased strength which Glad
stone's proposals, even though tempora
rily defeated, have given to our cause,
we have, I think, reason to rejoice at
iue OPDOrtUniLV thw affnr.lA tn.
suffering and exasperated people to show
the magnanimit of their natures and
the unalloyed purity of their love of
liberty What a spectacle Ireland afford
ed to the world when, at last, one great
Englishman arose bold enough and wise
enough to do justice to her character.
Ages of heartless oppression and bitter
wrong, hundredsof thousands of martyrs 1
to Irish freedom, ages of stupid religious j
persecution, ages of depopulation and i
state-created famine, never-ending insult j
and ruthless calumny, all in that one j
moment are forgotten, and the feeling
uppermost in the hearts of the Irish race !
at home and aDroad wa 9 gratitude to the i
aged statesman who simply proposed to
do justice and anxiety for a "blessed i
oblivion of the past." Who, iu the way
of the reception given to the bill of Mr.
Gladstone, cramped and deformed as it
was by humiliating safeguards and un- J
necessary limitations, will dare to say !
that the principle of our movement is
merely race hatred of England ?
No; last April Ireland was ready to
forget and forgive. She was ready to
sacrifice mauy things for peace so long
as the one essential principle for which
she struggled was conceded. She was
willing on the dy when the portals of
her ancient Senate house was reopened
to shake hands with her hereditary foe
and to proclaim peace between the
democracies of the two nations whom
the Almighty placed side by side to be
friends, but who bad been kept apart by
the avarice, the injastice, and passions
of a few. Once again the policy of
conciliation Las been cast aside by Eng
land. The English Viceroy, who repre
sented the policy of liberty, and who for i
the first time since 1795 was greeted by
the acclamatiou of tbe populace in Dub
lin, has left our shores, and in his place
has come one bearing the hated name -From Milan, In Michigan, comes a re
of Castlereagh. Once again all thoughts port of thft nnd, of h of , rolk9to.
of amity with England have been ban- , do Q
ished from the minds of Irishmen, and . . ,. 7 " , " , .
ro fup. i f.i leaving It only 52 Inches Ion a. 14 Inches tn
with oar hereditary foes. The same :
cloud has descended once more npon our
land, but we have a right to call on tbe
world to remember bow brightly and
peacefully tbe Irish landscape smiled
duricg the brief sunshine ot tbe last few
months. The duty ot tbe moment is
clear. We have given England tbe most
convincing proof that on the concession
of liberty we can be trusty friends ; it
now remains for us to prove for the
thousandth time that as slaves we can
be formidable foes. I assert here to day
that tbe government of Ireland by Eng
land is an impossibility, and 1 believe it
to be our duty to make it so. Were our
people tamely to submit to the yoke
which has once again been placed upon
their necks, they would be unworthy of
tbe blood which they have inherited
from fathers who preferred poverty to
dishonor, and death to national slavery.
But there is no dauger of such disgrace.
Tbe National Government is in the
hands of a man who can be bold as well j
as cautious, and I claim tbe confidence i
and support of tbe Irish iu Ametica not
only because they are animated by the
same principle and the same hopes as we
are, but because our movement at home
is conducted oc a wise and honest poli
cy. So long as we are true to the great
principle of Irih nationality, resolutely
refusing eitter to be bought or coerced
from a rigid adberence to the full meas
ure of national right, and so long as we
are able to point to our past policy aa
honest aud successful, we say we and no
others are entitled to decide for ourselves i T,nM- Ine wiD" blew somn of u ,nto tne

j which alone we can accept your support
. for the future. Of one thing, however.
you may rest assured ; the policy in
Ireland in the near future will be one of
fignt. The chief of the present English
Government recently prescribed as a
remedy for Irish dia ;oulent, twenty
years' coercion. He forgot the historical
fact that since the act of Union there
have been eighty six years' coercion, and
that the spirit of the people is sterner
and higher to-day than ever it was be
fore. For coercion be was qnite pre
pared, and to coercion Lord Salisbury
will most assuredly be forced to come,
though tbe policy of the new government
seems to be to try and stave off stern
measures for awhile. They will, howev
er, soon find out their mistake. To the
concession of justice and liberty there is
no alternative but coercion. To imagine
that Ireland could get along peaceably
for six months under tbe rule of a new
Castlereagh, is to set down our people as
crazy 01 fools. In tbe coming winter
the laws of nature itself wiil forbid the
possibility of peace. The tenant farmers
of Ireland have played a part too little
known aud appreciated here. They
submitted to untold privations and suf
ferings and exactions in patience and in
silence, lest by one word or act of theirs
they should embarrass their leaders in
Parliament or retard by one moment the
concession of Home Rule. The landlords
of Ireland noted, but wholly misunder
stood the meaning of, the change of
attitude. They mistook forbearance
and patriotism for cowardice, and the
crowbar brigade once more set to work.
Still the tenants suffered in silence.
Mr. Gladstone proposed a Land bill
which would have bought out the land
lords at an extravagantly high figure,
yet the Irish tenants were ready, because
it was coupled with tbe concession of
Home Rule, to pay this exorbitant sum
as the price to be paid for national free
dom. But all motive for forbearance
on their part is now gone ; the sands
have run through the boor glass, and
the old fight between landlord and tenant
must revive if tbe people are not to be
swept out of existence while they are
waiting for Home Rule. Onc more
Irish landlords have behaved with onc
countable stupidity and folly. They
have once more stood between Ireland
and her freedom, and have refused oven
an extravagant price for their land, be
cause the offer was coupled with the
concession of an Irish Parliament. So
be it. I believe tbe last offer has been
made to Irish landlordism. The ultimate
settlement of this question must now be
reserved for the Pailiament of Ireland,
and meantime they must take care to
protect themselves and their children.
In many parts of Ireland I assert that
rent is to-day an impossibility, aud In
every part of Ireland tbe rents demand- j
ea are exorbitant and cannot and will
not be paid. The old struggle will be
revived, aud before three months are
over the new government will be forced
as of old, in defense of the rents of the
landlords, to forore anew tbe fetters of
coercion.
Gentlemen, I have now done. The
memory of this day wi'l live with me
while memory lasts. The effects of tbe
work upon which you have been engaged
will, I believe, live and be feu so long as
this struggle continues. Your wisdom
will guide our policy, your courage will
inspire our haarts, your marvelous union
will excite our emulation. You have
good reason, indeed, to be proud of the
proceedings of this dav. You ar. in
truth, engaged in noble and a sacred
work. Nothing less than championing
the weak against the strong ; the helpless
against the powerful ; the afflicted
against the prosperous. You have long
since earned for yourselves and your
adopted country the blessing of the
poor, ard rest assured when at last vic
tory sits upon our cause and freedom is
again enthroned in Ireland, you also will
reap a reward, for the God of the poor
and the oppressed the God of justice
and of mercy will also increase your
prosperity and watch eternal over your
liberties.

careful In the use of tbat powder. Mr.
Benjamin Bower, a resident of Pleasaotville.
N. J., sprinkled Paris green on his gTape
few days.
Tbe story of the rattlesnake tbat swal
lowed eucs In a Georgia pantry, and was
thus caogbt In a jog handle, Is followed by
a hke.storv from Chattanooga. A citizen
bard a noise In bis henhoose, and Investi
gated. He found that a blackinake had
swallowed a china nestepg outside of the
bouse, thrust its neck through a knot
hole, and swallowed a real egg, and was
thus unable to go backward or forward, as
tbe eggs were larger than the bole.

A Great Political Text BMk.
The Democratic campaign book, prepared
under the auspices of the Democratic Exec
utive Committee, is now in the bands of tbe
printer, and will soon be ready for distribu
tion. The committee bas not resorted to
the Republican methods of levying assess
ments npoo officeholders for their campaign
expenses, nor has any officeholder in the
United States been asked to contribute a
cent. Sucb contributions have tn no case
beo received. Tbe book will son U in a
splev review of the past administrations of
the Government under Republican rule, and
will discuss a number of subjects of 'con
temporaneous Importance. It will contain
so exhaustive nletory of former abases of
the Pension Office and of the prostitution to
party ends of this bureau which was or
ganized for tbe dispensation of tbe people's
money tn the people's soldiery.
It will contain a discussion of the squan
dering of tbe public domain bv the Repub
lican party, and of the recent movements
Inaugurated by Democrats to restoie it to
Its original owners, tbe people. It will dis
cuss tbe Civil Service as abused heretofore
and as administered by President Cleveland.
I; will contain valuable matter touching the
administration of the Land Office and tbe
conduct of the Indian affairs. It will be
valuable In the disc tssion of labor problems,
containing a chapter on that subject and on
the recent legislation aflVcting it. It will
discuss past delinqi 6'iriea of resjtonslble
officers and agents of tbe Oovernm-nt, and
indicate the correction of abuses In tiiatline.
It will contain a summary of the action of
tbe last Congress touching matters of Im
portance to the people, and make a fair ex
hibit of the results accomplished. It will
give a history of the war on the President
bv the Senate and the surrender by tbat
body of the false Issues which it bad raised
for political ends. In short, the bodk will
be a fair and truthful presentation of polit
ical matters. The committee Is not In pos
session of funds to enable It to distribute
the book gratuitously. In order that tie
volume may be thorougbty distributed the
committee has determined to send It pre
paid by mail to any person who will make
application therefor and transmit the som

early rummer. Tho effete mutter accumu
lated during the winter months, now
make its presence felt, through Kature'a
endeavor to expel it from the eystem.
"While It remains. It Is apoNon that festers
In the blood and may develop Into Scrof
ula. This condition causes derangement
of the dilutive and asslmtlatory organ,
with a feeling of enervation, languor, and
weariness often lightly spoken of as "only
spring fever." These are evidences that
ature Is not able, unaided, to throw off
the corrupt atoms which weaken the vital
forces. To regain health. Nature must be
aided by a thorough blood-purifying rneil
Ictne; and nothing else Is au effective aa
Ayers Sarsaparilla,
which Is aufnelentty powerful to expel
from the svstem even the taint of Hered
itary Brrbf nla.
The medical profession Indorse Arm's
Parsaparii.la, and many attestations of
the cures effected by It come from all parts
of tbe world. It Is, In the language of
the Hon. Francis Jewett, ex-State Sen
ator of Massachusetts and ex-Mayor of
Lowell, "the only preparation that doe
