Republicans, the issues involved 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, should again win the fight. 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.

TILE boys in blue know the rebel yell
when they hear it, and they know what
that yell implies. So the rebel yell for
Hancock which we hear coming from the

North.
FORNEY iS now busily engaged eating
the "crow" cooked by himself when he
was editor of the Press. Poor Forney !
Andy Johnson and the Democracy were
pretty near the mark when they called
a "dead duck."
TUE Bedford Gazette, in speaking of
Forney's political flip-flop, says :that "his
last service tc the Democratic party was as
chairman of the Statc committee in 1856.'Y
The Gazette is either ignorant of the fact
that Ferney was a bitter opponent of Gen
liartranft in 1872, or it gets down to base
falsehood in its endeavors to make political
capital. It is of small moment to Repub-
licans where Forney is found, his political
somersaults have been so frequent that he
has no influence in any party:
DON PIATT'S Washington Coint,,/,
which seldom has anything good to say of
Republicans, comes out on the side of Gar.

that has been inaugurated against bim,
Piatt says : "We advise the mud-machine,
called partisan papers, that attempts at
blackening Gartield's character will be
signal Iltilures, and will be met by pro
tests from such eminent Democrats as the
Hons. Jeremiah Black, Allen Thurman
and Justice Field, who have already put,
themselves on record in his behalf. Gar
field's purity is so thorough that it gives
him a perilous confidence in men, and has
got him into trouble precisely as a confi
ding boy gets into scrape.. In that Credit
Mobilier affair, fur example, we know, and
have so testified, that at the very time it
was claimed he was scheming to enrich
himself through Ames' rascility, he was
'shinning' about Washington striving to
borrow $3OO to pay house rent. He has
not only lived in the open air, but has
occupied positions, where, like other lead
ers, he could have winked himself into
millions. lie holds to-day the honored
position of being the only poor man among
political leaders."
Editor.
GEL HANCOCK, in Democratic estima
tion, has greatly improved since 1865.
The Democrats did not speak of him then
exactly as they do now. He was a "mili
tary tyrant," a "Lincoln hireling" and
"murderer" then when he was stringing
up Democrats and choking them to death
on the gallows, in pursuance of the orders
of a military court. When he disregarded
the habeas corpus writ of a military court
in Washington, and refused to deliver the
body of old Mrs. Surratt until the wind
was choked Gut of it, the Democratic
journals were not loud in praising Han
cock's lofty views of the supremacy of the
civil over the military laws ! A change has
come over the spirit of Democratic dreams
since that hanging day.
WE have flung an American flag to the
breeze from the third•story window of the
JOURNAL building, bearing upon its folds
the names of the next President and Vice
President—Garfield and Arthur—and we
give fair notice that if any rebel feels like
paying us a visit he will have to walk un
der it, for we will not lower that proud
rag as Hancock did at New Orleans to
satisfy the traitor Beauregard. The man
who would disgrace the banner of his
country to please a whipped traitor is not
a fit person to entrust with the affairs of
this nation.

Garfield was once a mule-whacker. while Han
cock was always a gentleman.—Boston Post.
The hard fisted sons of toil can see by
the above that the Hancock masters look
with disdain on the laboring classes. The
"mule-whacker" is the architect of his own
proud position, while Hancock was educa
ted at the expense of the Nation. Such
snobbery will receive a fitting rebuke at the
hands of the toiling millions of the North
next November.
IMPUDENCE UNPARALLELED !—Robert
Hanna, a rebel soldier belonging to Com
pany G, Fifteenth Regiment South Caroli
na Confederate States of America, who
lost an arm in fighting against the Union,
has just applied for a pension through the
pension agency of W. Fitzgerald, esq., of
Washington. D. C. If Hancock could be
elected every disabled rebel soldier in the
land would be granted a pension.
GEN. GRANT was in Denver, Col , on
Monday, and in an interview said : "I can
say without hesitation that I will give
General Garfield my hearty support.
There is no reason why any Republican
should not vote for Garfield. I know him
to be a man of talent, thoroughly accom
plished and upright. I have nothing
against General llarreock, but Garfield is
the man for the office."
Break the radical lines at every point.—Altoona
San.
The fellows who nominated Hancock at
Cincinnati tried to break our lines at Get
tysburg, and their effort to do so in No
vember will be as great a failure as it was
on those memorable July days when the
gallant Hancock was lying wounded and
bleeding from the effects of a Democratic
cannon ball.
HARRISBURG has lost one of its wealth
iest, most respected and useful citizens by
the death of Wm. Calder, which event oc
curred in that city on Monday last. The
deceased was a prominent Republican, and
stood high with his party, having been
chosen a Presidential Elector in 1572. He
was born July 31, IS2I, and at the time
of his death lacked a few days of being
fifty-nine years of age.
WE would call attention to the excel
lent oration delivered by Milton S. Lytle,
esq., at the Pennsylvania State College,
during the commencement last month,
which will be found on our first page. It
presents the most advanced views upon
some of the leading questions of the day
and will repay close and careful perusal.
QUITE a severe storm of wind and rain
prevailed over eastern portions of the State
on Tuesday afternoon, doing much damage
to property and crops. In several places
numbers of cattle were killed by lightning,
the roads flooded and travel impeded.
July seems to be noted for its violent and
destructive storms.
EVERY person should read the manly
and able letter of Gen. Arthur, published
in another column. lle don't mince mat
ters in the least, but speaks out boldly in
defence of the principles of the party
which saved the country from destruction
when assailed by traitors both North and
South.
HORACE GREELEY once wrote : "No
commander in the Southern States has in
terfered with the civil authority more than
Gen. llancock." This was his idea of
statesmanship. Greeley was the Democratic
candidate for President in 1872. lle
ought to be good Democratic authority.
IT is not promotive of sectional affilia
tion and reconciliation for the Democrats
to threaten us with a solid South. The
rational answer to a solid South is a solid
North. No other response is conceivable,
and that will be our .response in Novem
ber.
THE PENNSYLVANIA RESERVES.—The
annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Re
serve t',.rps wls hell in Harrisburg on
Thursday of last week, and was attended
by about one hundred and fifty members.
Owing to severe indisposition Gov. Hoyt
was unable to take part in the priteeedings.
The oration of the day was delivered by
I R. M. Henderson, or Lebanon, and
addres•;es were made by Mayor Patterson,
of Harrisburg; S. Wiley Crawford, United
States army ; General Robert Patterson ,
Colonel William B. Mann, of Philadel
phia, and ex-Gdvernor Curtin. Letters
of regret were received from a number of
prominent persons, am on g th em G enera l s
Garfield and Hancock. The present
officers were re elected. BellefOnte was
selected as the place of meeting next year,
the date to be fixed by the board of officers.
QUITE a number of Republican editors
are just now engaged in championing the
claims of their favorites for Mr. Wallace's
place in the United States Senate. They
had better devote their attention to getting
the party in fighting trim so that we can
elect the Legislature and thus secure a
Republican successor to the coffee pot
manipulator.
GEN. HANCOCK is likely to discover
that the l'residential bee which worked its
way into his military bonnet when ho went
to Louisiana in the interest of "my policy,"
as laid down by Andy Johnson, was not to
his advantage in point of reputation as a
soldier.
THE Tyrone 11 , ruld put in an appear
ancc last week with a patent outside and
greatly reduced in size, but this state of
things will not exist longer than brother
Jones can get his office equipped with new
material, when the Herith/ will be itself
again.
TILDEN 13 reported to have given his
cheek f9r $lOO,OOO to help along the

We presume this sum is part of what he
defrauded the Government out of by his
false revenue returns.

A GLIMPSE AT THE SITUATION-POUT•
IC.%L POINTS AS THEY SEEM
TO POINT OUT.
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 10, 1880.
EDITOR JOURNAL: It Seems, to a Republican,
almost an impossibility to sit quietly and read the
many virtues of the great Democratic party that
are daily being heralded to the world through
the lying press of that party. One would think
that the country had gone to the d-1 already,
and will be sunk to perdition should Republicans
retain control of the Governtnent another four
years.
Let us take a glance at the condition of affairs,
during the past four years, and see how the ruin
has been brought about:
In 1860, after twenty years of Democratic rule,
a Government six per cent bond sphl for eighty
nine cents. In 1880, after twenty years of Re
publican rule, a Government four per cent. bond
sells for £l.OB.
In 1860, under Democratic rule, $18,000.000
loan exhausted the market for six months, and at
the end of twenty years, of Republican rule, a
loan of $150,00d,000 was taken in a single day.
In 1860, after a Democratic rule of twenty years,
the balance of trade against the country was over
$20,000,000. In June, 1880, atter Republican
rule of twenty years, the bal _nee of trade in favor
of the country was over $162,000,000. These are
facts. How do they look ?
In 1500, after twenty years of Democratic rule
and teaching, there was a question whether or not
this was a Nation. These were days when Jere
miah S. Black was the adviser of the old fogy, Jae.
Buchanan, the same gentleman who now furnishes
the statesmanship for General IV. S. Hancock, and
who announced, through his legal opinion as At
torney General of the United States, that "there
was no power in the Government to coerce a
State." leaving the inference that Jeff Davis and
Alex. Stephens could send the country to the devil
for all that James Buchanan, as President, could
do to prevent it. No doubt that same Jeremiah
Black, Alex. Stephens and others, would give con
siderable to have the people forget their acts and
deeds during those trying times.
This kind of ruin is rather popular in this
country. The people like it, and call for more of
the same sort, and no doubt they will have it, too.
Can General Hancock give that sort of ruin ? We
fear not.
It would, indeed, be a sorry sight to see Presi
dent Hancock, once a Union General, fighting for
the supremacy of the Nation, endorsing and car
rying out the nullification schemes of the Southern
Brigadiers, and undoing all that he, as a patriotic
soldier, fought and struggled to maintain. Yet
we should not doubt his inclination to do so. His
famous General Order "N 0.40," while commanding
the Fifth District of the department of the gulf,
makes it very manifest that he is fully capable of
so doing, and that be will do it, if elected, there
is no doubt. Ilanceck's election would be the
triumph of principles which once so nearly de
stroyed the Union, and would place in power the
men who fought to destroy it. Gen. Hancock
represents the Democratic party, which was the
party of the Rebellion, and is now, so far as the
relics of that bloody attempt to overthrow the Be
public continues to exist. So, in that, he repre
sents ever murder that has been committed in the
name of the Democracy since the war, every out
rage upon the rights of freedom and citizenship,
every false count and every wrong that has been
perpetrated by the Democratic party.
The popular admiration of a soldier—a Union
General—has been taken advantage of by the
Cincinnati Convention, and no doubt will be one
of the great themes in their campaign. Of course,
no orator of character will seek to depreciate the
services of the opposing military candidate, unless
their failure as a general was conspicuous. They
are regarded as the representatives of a certain
policy, hence it follows that personal criticism is
made solely upon the ground of political sentiment
or action. From this--a kind of idolatry—a very
grave mischief may easily spring. A soldier, no
matter how good or able, is not of necessity a
good civil magistrate nor a statesman, coming as
he does from the military camp. Indeed, there
are: reasons why General W. S. Hancock should
be a peculiarly poor statesman. The law under
which he has been trained is military law, and
military law is despotic. Now the security in
many cases heretofore has been in the fact that
the military heroes are only civilians having been
re-absorbed into civil life when the war ended.—
Grant, it is true, had 3 West Point education, but
was a tanner in the spring of 1861. Sherman was
a banker and Barnsides was a railroad man. All
had mixed in politics, but not so with Hancock.
He was a West Point graduate, and has been in
the army ever since. There was indeed a strong
prejudice against West. Point when the warbegan,
not because it was doubted that young men there
received a good military education, but because
the Political influence of the school was believed
to be unfecarable to the Satiunal Gurernment.—
The influence was thought to have helped foster
the silly notion that it was gentlemanly to be a
rebel and indifferent to human rights. Conse
quently the Military Academy was a hot-bed of
treason, especially if a cadet chanced to be a Dem
ocrat, as most all were that had been appointed
for twenty years prior to 1560, Haw:look included,
who is the aristocrat of them all. But on the
other hand, we find thousands of officers of the war
who did not receive their education at West Point,
who, as commending trenerals,•were as successful,
if net more so, than West Pointers, not only as
military men, but as civilians and statesmen.—
One, for instance, whose praise is on every one's
lips, whose career, as a soldier, had not his equals,
and whose record, as a statesman, cannot be sur
passed. I have reference to General James A.
Garfield, the Republican nominee for President of
the United States.
General Garfield is a typi,al American citizen,
of strong native sense, of great natural knowledge
of men, and long and faithful experience as a
statesman. One of the ablest statesmen, an earnest
and effective representative in Congress, with lion
like spirit opposing the beginning of the Rebellion,
one of the earliest soldiers of the war, and one of
the asset efficient and successful. General Gar
field respects his double star enough to give his
tongue in all his acts in Congress, whert he gave
his sword and his blood, and has maintained, by
eloquence, the principles which he defended in
battle. Such men as Generak Garfield are the
strength of the country, arid the country knows
it. A nation and a party, at the head of which
stands General James A. Garfield, can well he
trusted. The intelligence which saved it from
forcible overthrow will secure it against being
outwitted. The strong sense that was deaf to
Leo's cannon at Richmond, Petersburg and Ap
pomattox, will hardly be persuaded by the glib
tongues of his soldiers, trained Representatives and
Senators, nor by the action of their northern allies,
as sanctioned by the Convention at Cincinnati,
June 24th, ISSO.
To every soldier of the war I say stick to your
guns. Vote as you shot—against the Democratic
party. Already the brigadiers of the South are
circulating in the North. Already the agents of
the "Lost Cause" are building on the hopes of
draining the public treasury.
To my Republican friends I would say c work,
work, work, and make sure work. We do not
want a"7 to 8." The National Congress must
not settle the question this time—the people must
settle it—aud in order to do so, they must be up
and doing. VIATOR.

sE W YORK, oly Is, I eso.—Pear : I accept
the position assigned um by the great party whose
acti, n you antiounce. Tnis acceptance implies
approval oft he principles declared, by the Conven
tion, but recent usage permits we to a Id same ex
pression of my own views. The right and duty to
secure honesty and order in popular elections is a
matter so vital that it must stand in front. The
authority of the National Government to preserve
from fraud and force elections at which its own
officers are chosen is a chief point on which the
two parties are plainly and intensely opposed.
Acts of Congress for ten years have, in New York
and elsewhere, done much to curb the violence and
wrong to which the ballot and the count have been
again and again subjected—sometimes despoiling
great cities, sometimes stifling the voice of a
whole State, often seatine, not only in Congress,
but on the bench and in Legislatures, numbers of
men never chosen by the people. The Democrat
ic party since gaining possession of the two Houses
of Congress has made these just laws the object of
bitter, ceaseless assault, and, despite ali resistance,
has heged them with restrictions cunningly con
trived to bafile and paralyze them. This aggres
sive majority boldly attempted to extort from the
Executive his approval of various enactments
destructive of these election laws, by revolutionary
threats that a constitutional exercise of the veto
power would be punished by withholding the ap
propriations necessary to carry on the Government.
And these threats were actually carried out by re
fusing the needed appropriations and by forcing
an extra session of Congress, lasting for months
and resulting in concessions to this usurping de•
mand, which are likely, in many States, to sub
ject the majority to the lawless will of a minority.
Ominous signs of public disapproval alone sub
dued this arrogant power into a sullen surrender
for the time being of a part of its demands. The
Republican party has strongly approved the stern
refusal of its representatives to suffer the over
throw of statues believed to be salutary and ju.t.
It has always insisted, and now insists, that the
Government of the United States of America is
empowered and in duty bound to effectually pro
tect the elections denoted by the Constitution as
National. More than this, the Republican party
holds, as a cardinal point in its creed, that the
Government should by every means known to the
Constitution, protect all American citizens every
where in the full enjoyment of their civil and po
litical rights. As a great part of its work of re
construction, the Republican party gave the ballot
to the emancipated slave as his right and defense.
A large increase in the number of members of
Congress and of the Electoral College from the
former slaveholding States was the immediate re
sult. The history of recent years abounds in
evidence that in many ways and in many places—
especially where their number has L beeu' great
enough to endanger bemocratic control—the very
meg by whose elevation to citizenship this in
crease of representation was effected have been
debarred and robbed of their voice and their vote.
It is true that no State statute or Constitution in
so many words denies or abridges the exorcise of
their political rights; but the modes employed to
bar their way are no less effectual. It is a sug
gestive and startling thought that the increased
power derived from the enfranchisement of a race
now denied its share in governing the country—
wielded by those who I ttely sought the overtohrw
of the Government—is now the so e reliance to de
feat the party which represented the sovereignty
and nationality of the American people in the
greatest crisis of our history. Republicans cherish
none of the resentments which may have animated
them during the actual conflict of arms. They
long for a full and real reconciliation between the
sections which were needlessly and lamentably at
strife; they sincerely offer the hand of good-will,
but they ask in return a pledge of good faith.
They deeply feel that the party, whose career is
so illustrious in great and patriotic achievement,
will not fulfill its destinyuntil peace and prosperi
ty are established in all the laud, nor until liberty
of thought, conscience and action, and equality of
opportunity shall be not merely cold formalities
ot• statute, but living birth-rights, which the hum
ble may confidently claim and the powerful dare
not deny_
The resolution referring to the public service
seems to me deserving of approval. Surely no
man should be the incumbent of an office the
duties of which he is for any cause unfit to per
form, who is lacking in the ability, fidelity or in
tegrity which a proper administration of such
office demands. This sentiment would doubtless
meet with general acquiescence, bat opinion has
been widely divided upon the wisdom and practi
cability of the various reformatory schemes which
have been suggested and of certain proposed regu
lations governing appointments to public office.
The efficiency of such :osculations has been dis
trusted mainly because they have seemed to exalt
mere educational and abstract tests about general
business capacity and even special fitness for the
particular work on hand. It seems to me that the
rules which should be applied to the management
of the public service may properly conform in the
main to such as regulate the conduct of successful
private business. Original appointments should
be based upon ascertained fitness. The tenure of
office should be stable. Positions of responsibility
should so far as practicable be filled by the promo
tion of worthy and efficient officers. The investi
gation of all complaints and the punishment of
all official misconduct should be prompt and
thorough. These views, which I have long held,
repeatedly declared, and uniformly applied when
called upon to act, I find embodied in the resolu
tion, which of course I approve. I will add that,
by the acceptance of public office, whether high or
low, one does not, in my judgment, escape any of
its responsibilities as a citizen or lose or impair
any of his rights as a citizen, and that he should
enjoy absolute liberty to think and speak and act
in political matters according to his own will and
conscience, provided only that he honorably,
faithfully and fully discharges all his official du
ties.
The resumption of specie payment=—ono of the
fruits of Republican policy—has brought the re
turn of abundant prosperity, and the settlement of
many distracting questions. The restoration of
sound money, the large reduction of our public
debt and of the burden of interest, the high ad
vancement of the public credit, all attest the abili
ty and courage of the Republican party to deal
with such financial problems as may hereafter de
mand solution. Our paper currency is now as
good as gold, and silver is performing its legiti
mate function for the purposes of change. The
principles which should govern the relations ,of
these elements of the currency are simple and clear.
There must be no deteriorated coin, no depreciated
paper. And every dollar, whether of metal or
paper, should stand the test of the world's fixed
standard.
The value of popular education can hardly be
overstated. Although its interests must of neces
sity be chiefly conflded to voluntary effort and the
individual action of the several States, they should
be encouraged so far as the Constitution permits,
by the generous co-operation of the National
(lovernment. The interests of the whole country
demand that the advantages of our common school
system should be :brought within the reach of
every citizen, and that no revenues of the nation
or of the States should be devoted to the support
of sectarian schools.
Such changes should be made in the present
tariff and system of taxation as will relieve any
overburdened ,industry or class, and enable our
manufacturers and artisans to compete successfully
with those of other lands.
The Government should aid works of internal
improvement national in their character, and
should promote the development of our water
courses and harbors wherever the general interests
of commerce require.
Four years ago, as now, the Nation stood at the
threshold of a Presidential election, and the Re
publican party, in soliciting a continuance of its
ascendancy, founded its hope of success, not upon
its promises, but upon its history. Its subsequent
coarse has been such as to strengthen the claims
'which it then made to the contidencte and support
of the country. On the other hand, oonsiderations
more urgent than have ever before existed forbid
the a.ccessson of its opponents to power. Their
success, if success attends them, must chiefly come
from the united support of that section which
sought the forcible disruption of the Union, and
which, according to all the teachings of our past
history, will demand ascendancy in the councils
of the party to whose triumph it will have made
by far the largest contribution.
There is the gravest reason for apprehension
that exorbitant claims upon the public Treasury,
by no means limited to the hundreds of millions
already covered by bills introduced in Congress
within the past leer years, would be suocessfully
urged if the Democratic party should suoceed in
supplementing its pr,sent control of the National
Legislature by electing the Executive also.
There is danger in intrusting the control of the
whole law-making power of the Government to a
party which has in almost every Southern State
repudiated obligations quite as sacred as those to

"I suffered for more than a year with indiges
tion, and during the last six months I was
very bilious, occasionally having a dumb chill,
followed by fevers, which prostrated me. I
took Simmons' Liver Regulator, and for
several months I have been as stout and hearty
as any man could desire to be. I am tho:ougly
satisfied that it is all it is recommended to be
for indige.ition and bilious comp'aiuts, for
mine was certainly a stubborn case. I have
heard many of my friends speak of it, and all
agree that it possesses all the virtues you
claim fn. it." A. H. HIGHTOWER,

FOREIGN COUNTS VERSUS HOME
MECHANICS.
I I I
•
In a far-off I.:Astern rite,
A pretty mail let
Who, was determined neter
Iler hart and hand to give
To, a living human ereate,,
Unless almost. dlviue ;
She had a pour opinion oof
The gender mescaline.
First a young mechanic asked her
It she would be his bride.
"No! I'll wed no poor mechanic,"
She haughtily replied.
"I was born for something better,
I'd have you understand ;
You are bold in your presumption
To ask of me my hand !''
Then a beardless dandy wAm.si her
Ile had an oily tongue,
But as no mustache had started,
Because he was so young.
She gave him such a gentle hint,
As led him to infer
That he must raise some whiskers ere,
He raised his eves to her.
Overwhelmed with disappointment,
And almost in despair,
That his chance to win the maiden
Hung on a ajar/is hair,
He went off and took a julip:
In that he drowned his woe;
He did not blow his brains out, for
Ile had no trains to Glow.
Then there came another suitor
To win the maiden fair;
He was not a tear-faced wooer,
But muzzled like a Gear;
He had a fine imperial,
Moustache, and whiskers, curled,
And a lordly air about him,
As if he owned'the world.
'Twas said he was a foreign count,
Incognito while here,
And had at brine a shady park,
With room for one more dear.
He thought the maiden of our song
Would find herself in luck
For, wedding him, the happy dear
Would get a fine young buck.
They met, and when the fair one gazed
Upon his whiskers fine,
She felt that she bad found at last
The paragon divine.
They courted through the summer months,
And married in the fall;
She gave her heart and hand, and he
(lave heard, moustache, and all.
One night they passed in pleasant dreams,
A happy wedded I air ;
But ah, alas ! the next morn's light
Brought sorrow and despair.
The count arose and washed his face,
But fear o'erwhelmed his soul :
The glue had started, and he left
His whiskers in the bowl.
The wife looked up, she saw his face
Smooth as a new-mown lawn;
Save here and there a single hair,
Ills whiskers all were gone.
She swooned and fell upon the floor,
Her reason overthrown ;
The COUlli secured her jewelry,
Aud left
. /..)r parts unknown.
Then, ladies, dear, don't let your hearts
Be wrecked by foolish pride,
In spurning any honest head
By labor dignified.
Mechanics are our noblemen —
They clothe at Towea HALL—
Wed them and shun the foreign counts,
Of no aceoaat at all.

KENDALL'S SPAVIN CURE
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL. REMEDY ever
discovered, as it is certain in its effects and does
not blister. READ PROOF BELOW.
From Rev. P. N. Granger,
Presiding Eller of the St. Albans District.
ST. ALBANS, VT., Jan. 20th, 1880.—Dr. B. J.
Kendall & Ca., Gents:—ln reply to your letter
will say that my experience with "Kendall's Spav
is Cure" has been very satisfactory indeed. Three
or four vears 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 out for a few weeks when
be became better, but when I put him on the road
he grew worse, when I discovered that a ringbone
was forming, I procured a bottle of Kendall's Spa
vin Cure, and with less than a bottle cured him so
that he is not latne,neithercan the bunch be found.
Respectfully Yours, P. N. GRANGER.
PERSEVERANCE WILL TELL
STOUGHTON, Mass., March 16th, 1880.-11. J.
Kendall d• en., Gents :—lnjustice to you and my
self, I think I ought to let you know that I have
removed two bone spaying with" Kendall's Spavin
Cure," one very large one,
don't know how long
the spavin had been there. I have owned the horse
eight months. It took me four months to take tbe
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, CHAS. E. PARKER.
KENDALL'S SPAVIN CORE is sure in its effects,
mild in its action as it does not blister, yet it is.
penetrating and powerful to reach every deep-sea
ted pain or to remove any bony growth or other
enlargement, such as sprains, splints,curbs,calious,
sprains, swellings, any lameness and all enlarge
ments of the joints or limbs, or rheumatism in man,
and for 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 positive proof of its
virtues. No remedy has ever met with such un
qualified success to our knowledge, fur beast as
well as man.
Price $1 per bottle, or six bottles for $5. ALE.
