Republicans, the issues inv,ived in the coming
election of your county ticket, after being nomi
nated by the delegates who may be chosen by you,
in connection with your Presidential and State
tickets, are of the highest consideration and im
portance, and you are earnestly urged and re
quested to act accordingly. All depends upon
your action and votes in securing the results of
victory after the nominations have been made.
Your principles and policy, which, for years past
have successfully, in war and peace, guided and
controlled the government of our great and grow
ing Republic, shoeld again win the light. Shall
your principles again win in the coming contest,
or shall those who have always opposed them
triumph over you, depends for their solution on
your action and votes for Gen. Garfield in Novem
ber next.

Chairman of Co. Committee.
REPUBLICAN RALLY!
t n moptinn• of thi' anrflohland Arthur
club, held at Penn Street Hall, on Satur
day evening last, a committee of five was
appointed to report a permanent organiza
tion and call km:meting to be held on
TUR D.S Y EVEN - LNG, JULY, 17,
at 8 o'clock, P. ist., at the
COURT HOUSE.
The committee would earnestly request
a full turn-out of all the members of the
Club, all who desire to become members,
and every man who desires the election of
our candidates and the vindication of prin
ciples which have stood the test of storm
of battle fur twenty years.
A full list of officers will be submitted
at the time and place above named, and
speakers will be present to open the cam
paign in earnest.
IT is a pitiable sight to see a good Union
soldier at the head of the rebel forces.
W. 11. BARNUM has been re elected
chairman of the Democratic National Com-
mittee.
COL. INGERSOLL calls the Democratic
Presidential ticket "the indigo and butter
nut combination."
DURING the week of the meeting of the
Cincinnati convention seventy-six thous
and kegs of beer were sold in that city.
No laboring man in Pennsylvania, be
he Democrat or Republican, can afford to
support the Free Trade platform adopted
at Cincinnati.
JOSEPH It.. CHANDLER, the oldest news
paper editor in the State, died at his home,
in Philadelphia, on Saturday evening, at
the ripe old age of 88 years.
THE "Clearfield statesman" still insists
that Hancock will carry Pennsylvania.
His chances of carrying it are about equal
to Wallace's return to the United States
Senate—and he has no ghost of a chance.
IN another column will be found Gen.
Garfield's letter of acceptance. It is a
brief but clear and strong review of the
situation, and its sentiments will find a
hearty response front all Republicans.
Read it.
JUDGE BLACK, the gentleman who
wrote the celebrated "Order No. 40,''
which nominated Hancock, and so elated
every rebel that they went into conniption
fits, is now on the other side of the pond,
and the query presents itself, who will
write Hancock's letter of acceptance ?
THE Peace Commission of the Demo
cratic party, appointed by the late State
Convention to adjust the differences ex
isting amongst the Philadelphia Democ
racy, met in that city last week, but it was
unable to heal the fend, and the war of
factions goes on. Carry the news to Wal
lace.
THE Democrats are making much ado
over Hancock, as the "favorite on of
Pennsylvania." By birth he is a Penn-
sylvanian, but by the army register he is
a - Missourian, and by residence a New
Yorker. He owns a residence in St.
Louis, and as he left the State at the age
of sixteen never paid one cent of taxes in
Pennsylvania. How are you, "favorite
on ?"
"WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCH-
Editor,
('aloud Forney has at last toads the
discovery flat "the partition between the
two parties is very thin." To such po
litical weather-cocks as Forney, Curtin and
McClure it makes but little difference what
tl►e principles or a party arc unless it hap
pens to serve their own scifHt purposes.
If the purposes and le;_n.eies of .laves
Buchanan had been mere tc the mind of
Col. Forney on a certain occasion he might
never have left the Democratic party, and
now it is not strange that he should re
turn to his first love. But hoiv "thin is
the partition between the parties" at the
present day? It is thick enough to keep
the rebel brigadiers and unrepentant trai
toN of the South on the one side, and the
great heart of the loyal North on the other.
It is thick enough to draw the distinction
clearly between ✓ free speech tool a free
ballot on one side, and intimidation, vio_
lence and murder on the other. It is thick
enough to make a clear distinction between
protection to home industry, and "a tariff
for revenue only ;" a system which would
break down American manufacturers by
encouraging a ruinous foreign competition.
It is thick enough to render one party
repugnant to the common sense and self
interest of the Northern people. It is
thick enough to prevent the iron workers
of Pennsylvania from voting the bread out
of their own mouths by endorsing the Cin
cinnati platform. It is thick enough to
cause the leather-wot kers, silk-weavers,
and potters of New Jersey to repudiate the
party that is arraigned against, and to
support the party which supports their
industries. It is so thick that the thri
ving manufacturers of Connecticut will be
swift to condemn the attempt to break
down the present tariff system. It is thick
enough to compel the enormous manufac
turing interests of the great State of New
York to rebuke the infamous attempt of
the Democratic party to destroy them, and
turn many thousands of voters into the
Republican ranks who have never been
there before. It will be thick enough, at
the critical contest in October, to drive
away votes enough from the Democratic
ticket in ludiaua, with its many forms of
protected industries, to enable the Repub
licans to carry the State and thus secure
the vote of a solid North as against that
of a solid South, and thus elevate to the
first place in the gift of the nation the
man who is the representative of freedom,
of equal rights and protection to American
industry, the gallant soldier, the tried
statesman and the pure patriot and friend
of the toiling masses who earn their daily
bread by the honest labor of their own
hands.

A QUESTION OF VERACITY.
It is not very important whether the
Hon. It. Milton Speer, of Huntingdon, en
dorses the "integrity" of General Garfield
or not; but in regard to his denial that he
used certain language attributed to him
by the press of this city, in the speech
which he delivered here on his way home
from the Cincinnati Convention, we have
this to say : He may not have meant to
_use the word "4cgritv." but that he (lid
use it can be attested by scores of Repub
licans, were it worth while. He does not
even now repudiate his words of hearty
commendation, but he wishes to make one
little correction in the record. lie was re
ported as having spoken thus :
"This is my first public utterance since
the Chicago nomination, and I desire to
say right here that I served four years in
Congress with Gen. Garfield. I know him
well, and I honor him for his honesty, his
integrity, his ability, his breadth of knowl
edge and his upright character."
Now he says through his paper, the
Huntingdon Monaor, that the exact lan
guage used by him was the following :
"As this is my first public utterance
since the Chicago convention, I wish to
say that I served four years in the House
with General Garfield, and I know him
well. He is a gentleman of fine culture,
broad information, and undoubted ability."
Mr. Speer, we understand, is a midi
date for Congress in his district, and his
endorsement of General Garfield has dis
pleased a number of his party friends.—
Hence his desire to have the record al
tered. This cannot be permitted. He
said just what he was reported to have
said, and the language in precisely the
same form was telegraphed to leadinc , Re
publican journals, east and west.—Pitts
burgh Commercial.
COMMITTEE.
A LUNATIC ON HIS TRAVELS.
Gen. James B. Weaver, the Greenback
candidate for the Presidency, is either a
natural born fool or else he has been driven
into the first stages of lunacy by his asso
ciation with Kearney and other add!e
pated advocates of the Greenback heresy.
He is on a stumping tour through the
South, and spent Sunday last in Chatta
nooga, Tenn., where he was interviewed by
a Times representative. He is confident
of his ability to carry Alabama, Tennessee,
Texas, Mississippi, West Virginia, Mis
souri and Arkansas, and says he will make
heavy gains in Maryland, lowa, Michigan
and Minnesota. He says that if he does
not receive a majority of the electoral
votes neither of the other candidates will,
and the matter will again go to the house
of representatives, and if thrown into the
House lie will stand au equal chance with
the rest.
De La Matyr, he claims, has the bal
ance of power there, and no concessions
will be made by his partisans favorable to
either democrats or republicans. In the
event no agreement is reached then the
matter will become a constitutional ques
tion and it shall be with the senate what
disposition will be math.. of it. He says
he will stump every State he can be
fore the election, but will confine himself
to no section. Kearney, he says, will lend
him all support and give him California
beyond a doubt.
We suggest a straight jacket for Gen.
Weaver.
THE Republicans of Mercer county have
instructed their nominees for Senator and
Representatives to Support Hon. Galusha
A. Grow for United States Senator. If
this thing goes on at this, rate Mr. Grow
will have a walk-over to a seat in the
Senate.
'RAH for Garfield, the soldier states•
man,
iNiG HOME."
Spick Ponicroy's Opinion of Garfie:d.
Brick Pomeroy has started a new paper
at Deaver, Col., celled the Grew 11,st,
and in his second issue he pays the lid
lowing just eJtnpliment to the next Presi
dent. :
The Ic.is Democrats have to say about
Cartield's Oishonesty, the more sense will
they exhibit. lle took the back p;. y, but
banded it. back into the Treasury of the
150it , 3d Stales. We do not believe him
dishonest, or that he bas even pocketed
pennies apolitical perquisites, where his
assailants have stolen dollars, either from
the public or their private friends. If the
Democrats, or others, select leaders with
as clean a record as has Garfield, they will
do well.
A numocuAnc soldier writes the follow
ing "cold enmfnrt" to the Philadelphia
Tinits. ire expresses the sentiments of
tin:: soldier boys when he says : "I see by
your independent journal that a great
many :Republicans are going to vote for
Hancock and his election is sure. We
have heard the "same thing on two occa
sions before, namely : McClellan and
Greely ; but when the time came fur vo
ting they all fell into line, -the same as
they will again for Garfield, and voted the
Republican ticket. And the Grand Army
of the Republic are going to vote for Han
cock Why, do the people believe this?
I hope not. Why the first thing the
Democratic party did was to discharge
every member or our order and put rebels
in their places. Where, -me one will ask ?
Why, in the House and Senate of the
United States. D 1 the Den ocrats think
we have fhrgotten so soon ? il, nor are
we blind to the real intentions, with the
name of General Hancock to hi them
through. We do not want our p
reduced and the rebels pensioned, a.
these reasons ninety out of every le
hundred Grand Army men and sold►,.rs
will vote agair►st the Democratic party.
Although we love Hancock, who is a good,
honest soldier, we will, when the time
comes, cast our votes for our comrades
Geucral Garfield and Arthur, and don't
you forget it."
SENATOR J. D. CAMERON, who is stay
ing at the White Sulphur Springs, West
Virginia, has written a letter to L. Mont
gomery Bond, esq., of Philadelphia, in
which be says: "As far as my health
will permit, I will do all I can to keep in
power the Republican party ; but, as to
taking the chairmanship of the National
Committee, that I cannot do, f)r • the rea
son that I am physically unable to under
go the labor which necessarily belong to
the position. I found myself, after the
adjournment of Congress,very much broken
down, and I was, therefore, compelled to
abandon all my business affairs—although
they had been neglected during the entire
session of Congress—and come here with
the hope of having my health restored.—
I am obliged, under the advice of my phy
sician, to remain here for several weeks.—
Therefore you see that it is impossible for
me to do as you, as well as many other
friends, think that I ought, during the
coming canvass. You may rest assured,
however, that as s)on as I am well enough
I shall give my entire energies as a mem-
ere — tfizer alaaawawa h a 44 t
which is bethre us."
WALLACE is having a serious time with
the rank and file of his party in his own
county. During the dark days of the war
he and Buckalew had educated them to
hate every man who wore the blue, to op
pose the war and to resist the draft, even
if to do so successfully required the crime
of murder. Now he wants his old fol
lowers to turn in and shout f,r Hancock,
but remembering their early lessons in
treason to their country, as taught them
by Wallace, they refuse to throw up their
hats for the "wan on horseback." Ile at-
tempted to get up a ratification meeting
at Du Bois, in his county, a few evenings
since, but he could not get the faithful to
turn oat, and thus was no meeting. The
coffee-pot manipulator will have some
trouble in undoing his dirty work during
war times.
31cCLurtE, taking his cue from that
"pirate of the press," Dana, of :the New
York San, in a recent issue" of the Times
published a column of silly stuff about the
withdrawal of Gen. Garfield. These in
dependent Democratic editors can rest
their souls in peace, for we assure them
that the only "withdrawing" that Gen.
Garfield intends to engage in will be on
the 4th of March next, when he will
"withdraw" from his Congressional labors
to assume those incumbent upon the Pres•
idcnt of this Republic, a position to which
the loyal people of the North propose to
elevate him.
ME Democrats, in order to give their
candidate more honors than he deserves,
in a war which they all denounced as "a
nigger war," have descended to the tomb
of the lamented Meade and attempted to
steal the chaplet of victory from the brow
of the hero of Gettysbug. Gen. Hancock
is entitled to all honor the part he
played in that fierce battle against the
Southern Democracy, but
_he is not en.
titled to wear the stolen honors belonging
to Gen. George G. Meade.
"ROUNDHOUSE " PEARSON, or Pitts
burgh, the coward who abandoned the
Philadelphia troops to their fate when they
were shut up in the burning round-house
in that city, during the labor riots of 1577,
has come out in favor of Hancock, and his
fellow eitiz ms cry in chlru:4, "goof rid
dance to bad rubbish."
IloN. MARSHALL JEWELL, or Connee•
ticut, has been sclecte.l as Chairman of
the Republican National Committee, which
is a guarantee that the campaign will be
ably conducted. Ex Senator S. W. Dorsey,
of Arkansas, was chosen Secretary.
THE committee appointed by the Cin
cinnati C.mvention to notify Gen. Han
cock of his nomination attended to that
duty on Tuesday of this week.
THE "Republican" Hancock boom in

other, "What will the monument tea , h ?''
me try and aQk you for a moment to help toe to
answer what dues the monument mean. 0, the
monument means a world of memories, a world oi
deeds and a world of tears and a world of glories.
You know, thousands know, what it is to tATer uu
your life to the country, and that is no email
thing, as every soldier knows. Let me put the
question to you: For a utement suppose your
country in the awfully embodied form of majestic
law should stand above you and say, "I want
your life; come up here on the platform and offer
it." • How many would walk up before th.tt ma
jestic presence and say : "Here lam ; take this
life and use it for your needs ?" And yet almost
two million of men made that answer, and a mon
ument stands yornier to eommemorate their an
swer.
That is (meet - it' meaning,. lint, toy friend...
let me try you a little further. To give up lite is
much, for it is to give up wile and home arel (died
and ambition, but let use test you this way further.
Suppose this awfully majestic form should call
out to you and Fay: ask you to give up health
and drag yourself, not dead, but half alive, through
a miserable existence for long years until you
peril and die in your crippled and hopeless con
dition." I ask you to volunteer to do that, end
it calls f.e. a higher reach of patriutism and self.
sacrifice. but hundreds of thousands of you soldiers
did that. That is what the monument means also.
But let 11.` ash you to go one step further. Niro
pose your eenntry should say : "Como here on
this platform and in my name and fur my sake
consent to he idiots; consent that your brain and
intellect shall be broken do.vn into hopeles.;
idiocy for my sake." Bow many could be feieel
to make that venture ? And yet thousands—and
that with their eyes wide epee to the h•ecrible con
zequences—obeyed that cad. And let rue tell how
100,000 of our so diers were prisoners of war and
many of them, when death was stalking near,
when famine was climbing up into their hearts
and idiocy was threatening all that was left of
their intellec's, the gates of their prison stood open
every day if they would quit, desert their flag and
enlist under the flag of the enemy, and out of 1011,-
(1110 not two per cent. ever received the liberation
from death, starvation, idiocy and all that might
come to them, but they took all these horrors and
all these sufferings in preference to going back
upon the flag of their country and the glory of its
truth. Great God ! was ever such measure of
patriotism reached by any man on this earth be
fore? The tis what your monument means. By
the subtle chemistry that no man knows all The
blood that was shed by our brethren, all the lives
that were devoted, all the grief that was felt, at
at last crystalized itself into granite, rendered im
mortal the great truth for which they died, and it
stands there to-day, and that is what your monu
ment means. Now, what does it teach? What
will it teach? Why, I remember the story of one
of the old conquerors of Greece, who, when he had
traveled in his boyhood over the battle-fields where
Miltiades bad won victories and sot up trophies,
returning he said : "These trophies of Miltiades
will never let me sleep." Why, something had
taught him from the chiseled stone a lesson that
be could never forget, and, fellow-citizens, that
silent sentinel, that crowned granite column, will
look down upon the buys that will walk these
streets fur generations to come and will nut let
them sleep when their country calls them. More
than the bugler on the field from his dead lips
will go out a call that the Children of Lake county
will hear after the grave has eoverod us all :zed
our immediate children. That is the teaching of
your monument. That is its lesson, and it is the
lesson of endurance for what we believe, and it is
the lesson of sacrifices fur what we thine. the les
son of heroism for what W 3 mean to sustain, and
that lesson cannot be loot to a people like this.
It is not a lessen of revenge : it is not a lesson of
wrath ; it is the grand, sweet, broad lesson of the
immortality of the truth that we hope will soon
cover as with the grand shekinah of light and
glory all parts of this republic front the lakes to
the gulf. I once entered a house in old Massa
chusetts where over its doors were two crossed
swords. Ono was the sword carried by the grand
father of its owner on the field of Bunker Hill,
and the other was the sword carried by the Eng
lish grandsire of the wife on the same field and on
the other side of the conflict. ' Under those crossed
swords in the restored harmony of domestic peace
lived a happy and contented and free family,
under the light of our republican liberties. I
trust the time is not far distant when under the
crossed swords and the locked shields of Ameri
cans, North and South, our people shall sleep in
peace and rise in liberty, love and harmony under
the union of our flag of the stars and stripes.

• .-espte ity, The National ciovernment should
exercise all its constitutional authority to put an
end to these evils, for all the people and all the
States are members of cue body, and no member
can suffer without iejary to al:.
The west serious evils whe!l now afflict the
South arise from the fast that there is not such
freed:ell m d toicratien of - ,elitical opinion and
action that the minority party Call exercise :set
effective and wh.:heso.ne restraint upon the party
in power. Wit heut ~ t eih restraint the party rubs;

wh: c h is made pe , sible in tho Senth by its groat
advantAges of soil and climate, ',sill never he
realivael until every voter eau r cty :end safely
support :lily party he pleases. Next in import-
arice to freedem and justice is pecular education,
without which neither justice wir freedom can be
permanently maintained. Its interests are en
trusted to the States and the involuntary action
of the people. AVhstever help the Nation can
justly of shout I be generously given to aid
tht Stales in supporting the eemmen s,hools, but
it would he unjust to our people and. dangerous to
our institutions to apply any portion of the
revelians of this Nation or of the States to the
suepert of sectarian sellouts. The -separation of
the church and the State in everything relating
to taxation should be absolute.
On the subject of National finances toy views
have been so frequently and so fully expressed
that little is needed in the way of any additional
statement. The public debt is now so well secured,
and tiltl rate of annual interest has been so reduced
by refunding, that rigid economy in expenditures,
and the faithful application of our surplus reve
nues to the payment of the principal of the debt,
will gradually, but certainly, free the people from
its burdens, and close with honor the financial
chapter of the war. At the same time the Govern
ment can provide fur all its ordinary expenditures
and di.charge its sacred obligations to the soldiers
of the Union and to widows and orphans of those
who fell in its defence. The resumption of specie
payments, which the Lepublican party so cour
.4.,omly and successfully accompii.hed. bas re
r,".. 's'. liehl t f controversy many ques
tions that lung and s rionsly , fistur4,l the credit

our patter currency is now as National as the
nag, and resumptiun ha , not only made it every
where equal to coin, but it has brought into use
our store of gold and silver. The circulating medi
um is more abundant than ever before, and we need
only to maintain equaliv of ail our dollars to
insure to labor and eapit al a tneasurc of caluefrom
the use of which no one can stiffer loss. The
great prosperity which the country is now enjoy
ing should not be endangered by any violent
chan4es or doubtful financial experiments.
la reference to our custom laws a policy should
be pursued which will bin; revenues to the
treasury and will t,1:0,1s the labor and capital
employed in our great itidu,tries eompete fairly
in our own markets with the labor and capital of
producers. We legislate for the people of
the l; sited States, not for the whole world, and it
is our glory that the American laborer is more
intelligent and better paid than his foreign com
petitor. Our country cannot be independent un
less its people, with their abundant natural re
sources, rI,SOCS the roin,site skill at any time to
clothe, arm and equip euemselves fur war, and in
time of peace to prndutte all necessary implements
of labor.
It was the manifest in'ention of the founders of
the Government to provide for common defense,
not by standing armies Mose, but by raising
among the people a greater army of artisans
whose intelligence and skill should Powerfully
contribute to the safety and glory of the Nation.
Fortunately for the interest of commerce there is
no longer any formidable opposition to appropria
tions fur the improvement of our harbors and
great navigable rivers provided that the expendi
tures for that purpose aro strictly limited to works
of National importance. The Mississippi river,
with its great tributaries, 7:s of such vital import
ance to so many millions of people that the safety
of its navigation requires exceptional considera
tion. In order to secure to the Nation control of
all its waters, President Jefferson negotiated the
purchase of a vast territory extending from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean. The wisdom
of congress should be invoked to devise some
plan by which that great river stall cease to be a
terror to those who dwell upon its banks and by
which its shipping may safely carry the industrial
products of twenty-Eve mil!ions of people.
The interests of agriculture, which is the basis
of all our material prosperity and in which seven
twelfths of our population arc engaged, as well as
the interests of manufacture and commerce, de
mand that facilities fur cheap transportation shall
be increased by the use of all our great water
courses. The material interests of this country, the
traditions of its settlement, and the sentiment of
our people, have led the Government to offer the
widest hospitality to emigrants who seek our
shores for new and happy h,'mes, willing to share
the burdens as well as the benefits of our society
and intending that their posterity shall become an
uudistingnishable part of our population.
The recent movement oft he Chinese to our Pacific
coast partakes but little of the qual ties of such an
emigration either in its purposes or its result. It
is too much like an intportatien to be welcomed
wiliout restriction; too much like an invasion to
be looked upon without solicitude. We cannot
consent to allow any form of servile labor to he
introtlusel among us under the guise of immigra
tion. Recognizing the gravity of this subject, the
present administration, assisted by congress, sent
to China a commission of distinguished citizens for
the purpose of securing such a modification of the
existing treaty as will prevent the evils likely to
arise from the situation. It is confidently believ
ed that these diplomatic negotiations will be suc
cessful without the loss of commeteial intercourse
between the two great powers, which promises a
great increase of reciprocal trade and enlargement
of our markets. Should these efforts fail it will
be the duty of congress to mitigate the evils
already felt and prevent their increase by such
restrictions as, without violence or injustice, will
/ dace upon a sure foundation the peace of our
communities and the freedom and dignity of labor.
The appointment of citizens to various executive
and judical ofiloes of the Government •is the most
difficult of all duties which the constitution has
imposed upon the executive. The Convention
wisely demands that congress shall co-operate
with the executive departments in placing the
civil service on a better basis. Experience has
proved that with our frequent changes of admin
istration our system of reform can be made ef
fective and permanent without the aid of legisla
tion. Appointments to the military and naval ser
vice are so regulated by law and custom as to
leave but little ground of complaint. It may nut
be wise to make similar regulations by law for
civil service; but, without invading the authority
or necessary discretion of the executive, congress
should devise a method that will determine the
tenure of office and greatly reduce theuncertainty
which makes that service so uncertain and unsat
isfactory. Without depriving any officer of his
rights as a citizen, Government should require
him to discharge all his official duties with intelli
gence, efficiency and faithfulness. To select
wisely from our vast population those who are
best fitted for many offices to be filled, requires an
acquaintance far beyond the range of any one
man. The executive should therefore seek and
receive information and assistance orthose whose
knowledge of cot munities in which duties are to
be performed best qualify them to aid in making
the wisest choice. _ _

Smooth as a new-mown lawn;
Save here and there a single hair,
Ills whiskers all were gone.
She swooned and fell upen the floor,
Her reason overthrown;
nee comae e•eured her jewelry,
And left for ports unknown.
Then, ladies, dear, don't let your hearts
Be wrecked by foolish pride,
In spurning any honest hand
By labor dignified.

From Rev. P. IN. Granger,
Presiding Eller of the St. Albans District.
ST. At.n Vr., Jan. 20th, ISBO.—Dr. R. J.
Kew-lull if* Cu., Gait,:—Li reply to your letter I
will say that my experience with "Kendall's Spar
in Core" has been very satisfactory Indeed. Three
or four years ago I procured a bottle of your
agent, and with it, cured a horse of lameness caused
by a spavin. Last season my horse became very
lame and I turned him nut for a few weeks when
be became better, but when I put him on the road
he grew worse, when I discovered th4t a ringbone
wa. forming, I procured a bottle of Kendall's Spar
in Cure, and with less than a bottle cured him PG
that he is not lame.neitbercan the bunch be found.
' Respectfully Yours. P. N. ORARGER.
PERSEVERANCE WILL TELL.
SToUGGTON, MASS., March 1560.-11. J.
Ke.dalt a- Co., G.l4:—lnjuatice to you and my
self, 1, think I ought to let you know that I have
removed two bone spavins with" Kendall's Spavin
Cure," one very large one, don't know bow long
the spavin had been there. I have owned the horse
eight months. It took me four months to take the
large one off and two for the small one. I have
used ten bottles. The horse is entirely well, not
at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This
is a wonderful medicine. It is a new thing here,
but if it does for all what it has done for me its
sale will be very great
Respectfully Yours, Cn.es. E. PARKER.
KENDALL'S SPAVIN Censt is sure in its effects,
mild in its action as it does not blister, yet it Is
penetrating and powerful to reachevery deep-sea
ted pain or to remove any bony growth or other
enlargement, such as spavins, splints,curbs, callous,
sprains, swellings, any lameness and all enlarge
ments of the jointsor limbs, or rheumatism in man,
and fur any purpose for which a liniment is used
for man or beast. It is now known to be the best
liniment for man ever used, acting mild and yet
certain in its effects. Send address for Illustrated
Circular which we think gives positiveproof of its
virtues. No remedy has ever met with such un
qualified success to our knowledge, for beast as
well as man.
