Blai.vk. Republican State Nominations. FOR JUDGE SUPREME COURT, Hon. Henry Green, OF KOBTHAMPTOX COI KTY. FOR AUDITOR GENERAL, Hon. John A. Lemon, OF BLAIB COfJCTY. UMUCU NIUIIL SATURDAY, MAY 29th COUBT is in session this week dis posing of civil causes, Judge McJunkiu presiding, and Associates Storey and Dodds present. Proceedings next week. How. Gbobge P. Jenks, of Jeffer son county, was nominated by the Democrats in State Convention last week as their candidate for Supreme Judge, and Robert P. Dechert, of Phil adelphia for Aaditor General. Obxgon and California have in structed their delegates to the National Convention to vote for Blaine. \ ir ginia and South Carolina, for Grant. Ohio, in State Convention last week, instructed for John Sherman, one of her own sons, with Blaine undertood as her second choice. Had there not been an "Ohio man" before them the Republicans of Ohio would undoubt edly have declared for Blaine. Thb Somerset county Republicans met in County Convention last week and denounced the action of the Har risburg State Convention in appoint ing delegates from that Congressional district who will not faiiiy represent them in the National Convention. General Koontz and others made able speeches against the "unit rule" and tbe Convention appointed conferees to meet with similar ones from the other counties of tbe district to select new delegates to the National Convention. Bon. George E. Ma pee. We notice by the Venango County Republican papers that Hon George E. Mapea is announced as a candidate to the Legislature from that county. From the recent ex perience we have had in this State it would seem that such men as Mr. Mapes are needed and should be con tinued in the Legislature. Next to Mr. Wolfe be was foremost in exposing the corrupt practices of the last session, which ended in the arrest and trial of the persons recently convicted at Har risburg. To take the stand that be and Mr. Wolfe and a few others did take, requires a courage and honesty rather rare in members of the Legislature in these days. He is an honest man with honest purposes, and our Republi can neighbors of Venango county should take pride in having sncb a man as George E. Mapes to represent them. If such men are continued in our Leg islative Halls, we will soon hear no more of bribery and corrupt solicita tion of members. How About Mr. Gordon ? Now that the controversy is over as to the voting or status of one of the delegates to tbe National Convention from this Congressional district, how about the other? Mr. John 1. Gordon, of Mercer county, is the other one, appointed by his county in .January ant. He, so far, seems to have es caped notice. Being of another county we bave thought up to this time that it was no part of the duty of the Re publicans of this county to say or do anything except as to the delegate who resides in this county. To the Mercer county Republicans more par ticularly belongs tbe business of know ing bow Mr. Gordon feels and stands on the "unit rule" doctrine of the February State Convention. It is understood that the Mercer county Re publicansare as strong forßlaine as those of this or Crawford county. But if we take Mr. Gordon's paper for tbe test of this we confess we would not know whether this was correct or not. He is tbe editor of tbe Mercer Dispatch, tbe central Republican organ of that county, and up to this time, we regret to say, we bave not seen one word in it since the State Convention that would indicate bis feelings. It has apparently been purposely silent. Bat for why, we have no right to in quire, as we bave said, further than being in tbe same Congressional dis trict and be representing, or to repre sent all three counties of the district in the National Convention. It is only in this view that we think it is a duty be owes to the Republicans of the whole district to also make known his views. The late action of the Repub licans of Crawford county may com plicate matters still more. We bave not favored so far any action looking to other or contesting delegates from this district, like is being done, for good reasons, in the Somerset and Tioga dis tricts, but Mr. Gordon la aware that dibrent constructions are put upon, and hopes expected from the approval of the "unit role" by the State Conven tion, and on this we think he should make known his views. LEWIS IIARTENSTEIN has been ap pointed Postmaster at Great Belt this county. Good Men Wanted. This fall the most important class of officers are to be chosen, to wit: Those who make our laws—Congress, State Senators and members of the Assembly are again to l>e elected. They make the laws that govern and guide us. The law making branch is the fountain head of the National or State Government. How important then that this fountain. head, from which flows the laws, should be pure. What then is the standard the voters should erect in this matter ? Clearly, to require honest candidates as law makers, men of known honesty, whose character and record in the past are established as such. If therefore a man who has been in the law making service has a bad record it would be tbe hight of folly and simply suicidal to again trust him with such a posi tion. In view of recent events in this State we have no doubt but the Re publicans voters, at their primaries in everv countv, will be careful who they nominate as their representatives to the State or National Legislature. In this county we have a Congressman, a State Senator and two members of Assembly to nominate at the coming primaries, and we make the above re marks in view of the importance at taching to their selection. To suc ceed, none but men whose integrity is unquestioned, and whose past records are right, should be supported. Pardoned. In another place will be found the sentence Judge Pearson passed upon Kemble, Ilumberger and others re cently convicted or pleading guilty to indictments for corrupt practices, dur- ■ ing the Session of the last Legislature. It is alleged that this sentence ex ceeded the law and power of the Court to pass, and therefore the Pardon Board was again appealed to and rec ommended a remittance of that part of the sentence which imposed imprison ment in the Penitentiary. How this may be, as a question of law under the statutes, we will not now pretend to sav ; but one thing seems apparent, and that iff, whether Judge Pearson exceeded his power or not was not a question for the Pardon Board to hear or determine. Its duty, as we under stand it, is not to decide such ques tions of law. That duty belongs to the Supreme Court, to which this question could and should have been taken. It is the tribunal specially provided for such cases. The great end of Justice, however, was obtained in the conviction and sentence of the parties indicted. This alone has taught the lesson needed, and if here after we are to hear of corrupt solici tation of members of the Legislature it will be because of the kind of men who are sent to the Legislature. The people, therefore, have the remedy in their own hands and should be care ful who they nominate and elect to make our laws. CRAWFORD COUNTY REPUBLI- CANS. The Republican County Committee, of Crawford county, met last Thursday and passed the resolutions found below. It will be seen that in part they are similar to the ones passed by our Coun ty Committee last Saturday week. Rut our Crawford friends go much fur ther than we did in their views of the present situation. What they now affirm and request can be applicable on ly to the other delegate from this dis trict, Mr, Gordon, of Mercer. The oth er deltegate, Mr. Robinson, has put I im self upon record and we incline to think is sincere in his promise to vote for Rlaine at Chicago, if he is not robbed of his right to do so. True, every day almost, we see it said by Don Came ron and some of his adherents that he regards the "unit rule" as binding up on all of the Pennsylvania delegation (58) to the National Convention, and if he and Conkling should happen to get the organization of that Conven tion, with such a man as Conkling made President of it, and in the chair ruling on questions that doubtless will come up, then there is danger of the most high handed outrage being inflict ed upon the Republicans of this State that ever was inflicted upon a political party. From present appearances the whole question of whether the different Congressional districts are to be heard through their delegates, and in behalf of their sentiments, may depend upon what interest gets control of the organ ization of the Convention. If Conkling is made President of it, as is rumored, it is said that he will rule that the Chairman of a State delegation, whose State passed the "unit rule," has the power and right to throw the whole vote of that State as a body and for one candidate, regardless of protests from the minority or any of the dele gates from any particular district. It is said and feared that this may be done, and that Gen. Grant is to be nominated in this way by the New York and Pennsylvania delegations. Rut we can hardly believe so great an outrage and so sad a blow on Repub lican prospects this year, is to be thus inflicted upon the party. If attempted there will, we believe, be courage and manhood enough in the Convention to defeat it. The people continuing to speak out is the great safety. The res olutions of our Crawford friends are to the point, and we hope may have some good effect. Relow we give them : W U ERICAS, The Republican State Conven ed m»efrjl>le<J at IlarrMburjf in February la*t arrogated to itxulf the authority to instruct del egate* from thi* OontcreN*ioi>al district to the Chicago convention, wh instructions being di HAITI** ®&X»*N: JSTTIUXR, FL*., 2E*TFI 5, 18SQ. rectly opposed to the instructions given by the regular Republican organizations of the three counties composing the district; and, Wll ERAS, It is currently re|K>rted that one if not both the delegates from this district have declared their intention of obeying the instruc tions of the State Convention ; therefore, IK.- it Resolved, By the Republican Committee ot Crawford county, that a committee of <ivo be appointed to confer with the delegates Iroin this district to the Chicago Convention, to the end that the preference of the great majority of the Republicans of the district, which, undeni ably, is emphatically for the Hon. James (i. Blaine, of Maine, may be properly represented at Chicago. Resolved, That this committee be requested to endeavor to secure the jiositivc acknowledge ment from the delegates already chosen, Messrs. liobinsou and Gordon, that they will disregard the instructions of the State Convention, and will curry* out the expressed instructions ot the Republicans of this district, by using all hon orable means to secure the nomination of Hon. James G. Blaine for President. Resolved, That the "unit rule" by which the delegation from Pennsylvania is sought to be made the merchantable commodity of one man, and by which 5S delegates, representing differ ent phases of Republican sentiment are to be forced to vote as a bare majority of their num ber may direct, is unjust, arbitrary and subver sive of" the individual rights of the delegates, and we ask the co-operation of the unfettered Republ.cans of the various counties in an effort to defeat the adoption of this rule at any luture time. Resolved, That the Republicans of Pennsylva nia should at once take such action as will here after secure to the several districts the right to choose their o*n delegates on J give them their credentials, limiting the State Convention to the right of choosing the delegates at large. Resolved, That we pledge our hearty and uni ted support to the nominee of the Chicago Con vention. Mr. Reisinger offered the following: Re*olctd, That we are proud of the acknowl edged fact that Lite Republican party is the on ly party which ever existed in the 1 nited States which has the honesty and moral courage to punish its own criminals. Retsulced, That we deprecate and most em phatically condemn the use of money to im |)rop >rly influence nominations, elections or leg islation, and we hail with profoun 1 satisfaction the action of the Court at Harrisburg, in the sentence of the legislative bribers recently con victed there, and we ask that nothing be allow ed to prevent the full execution of their well deserved sentence. Resolved, That in Judge Pearson we recog nize the honest man, the upright Judge, and that this judicial action is to be highly com mended as an example of fearless discharge of duty, showing that justice is no respector of persons. After a stirring speech in their favor by Hon. John C. Sturtevant, they were adopted urnim moush/. Mr. Delamater, the chairman, was empowered to appoint the committee, and nam ed Thos. Roddy, Meadville; John C.Sturtevant Conneautville; C. S. Glenn, Cambridgeboro; .1. C. Henderson, Oil Creek, and L>. W. C. Ilar- I roun, Geneva. GEN. GRANT'S CANDIDACY. HIS FRIENDS NEVER MORE CONFIDENT THAN NOW—WHAT SENATORS CAME RON, LOGAN AND OTHERS SAY. "WASHINGTON, April 27.—There are a great many rumors telegraphed from here that Senators Cameron, Logan, Conkling and other friends are prepar ing to hedge on (General Grant; but these rumors are all bosh in so far as any "hedging" is alleged. All of the political friends of General Grant will stand by him to the end, and any con sultation they may have are not for any purpose except the one, of advanc ing Gf -eral Grant's cause. Mr. Cameron wants it understood that the state of Pennsylvania is in structed for Grant and will vote as a unit for him according to the instruc tion of the State Convention. If the time should come when (Jen. Grant would not be before the Chicago Con vention, then the entire Pennsylvania delegation would decide who should receive their solid vote. Mr. Cameron, (ion. Logan and others of Grant's friends say the rumors of their suppos ed plans are sent abroad for a certain effect; that when the convention meets in June, General Grant, they believe, will l>e the only man before the conven tion. They have no fear of Illinois, and so far have not lost a State delega tion they counted on. The friends of General Grant do not propose to run literary bureaus and manufacture news. As the convention draws near all kinds of roorbacks will be sent out The friends of Gen. Grant can rest assured there is no truth in them, and that his friends are more sanguine than ever that he will be the Republican nomi nee." The above is a specimen of the view of things the friends of General Grant take. It will be noticed that "Mr. Cameron wants it understood that the State of Pennsylvania is instructed for Grant, and >. ill vote a* a unit for him according to the instruction of the State Convention." If there have been any Republicans in this coun'y who thought there was no need of the alarm being sounded, they can now see how the matter stamls. Mr. Cumeron is, or likely will be, chairman of the Pennsyl vania delegation at Chicago, and may attempt such an arbitrary procedure. Much will depend upon who presides over that Convention. In our remarks upon the Crawford county resolutions we have referred more fully to this view of the matter, and for the present respectfully refer the above views of Mr. Cameron to the delegates from this Congressional district for solution. KEMBLE AND THE OTHERS SEN TENCED. JL'DOE I'EARSON SENTENCES THE FIVE MEN TO A FINK OF SI,OOO EACH AND COSTS AND TO A YEAR'S ! IMPRISONMENT IN THE EASTERN PENITEN TIARY AT HARD I, A » O R. Tho FriEoners Pardoned Soon After, j HARIMSHURO, April 2<L. All interest to-dav centered in the j bribery eases. The court room at the morning session was crowded in antic ipation of the appearance of the de fendants for sentence, the fact that all < had arrived here on Sunday night be- ■ ing known to everybody. It was | within a minute of twelve o'clock when i Judge Pearson, who had bt jn off the i bench for half an hour, reappeared and a moment after Messrs. Kenible, Sal- ' ter, Crawford, llumberger and Petroff < came into court through the rear en trance, accompanied by Colonel Mann, Senator llerr, Mr. Brewster and others 1 of their counsel. Only the local coun sel for the prosecution were present, t At the moment of entrance there were I comparatively few people in the court I room, many who had attended earlier I in the morning having tired with wait- ] ing. It was not long, however, before s people on the streets were informed i about what was in progress and they I began to fill tin; room. / District Attorney Hollingcr lost no time after th appearance of the defend ants in notifying the Court and asking < that sentence be passed. Judge Pear- i son asked : "Are all the defendants | present?" There was no response!! , and he repeated the question- The , i [ District Attorney stated that all were J present, and they were requested to stand up. .Mr. Kemble was the first to respond to this summons., M . I'etroff came forward and stood at his right; Mr. llumber;rer and Mr. Craw ford stood on the other side, while .Mr. Salter stood a little back iu the centre, with his overcoat on his arm and his bright silk hat in his hand. Nearly everybody in the court room stood up and there was apparently the greatest anxiety to hear every word of what .Judge Pearson had to say. He had I prepared his remarks, and read them with apparent effort. He said : JL'IXiE PEARSON'S REMARKS. Charles B. Salter, William 11. Kem ble, Jesse R. Crawford, William F. Rumberger and Emil J. Petrotf. you have each been severally indicted for "corruptly soliciting"' members of the General Assembly in tbe performance of the duties of their office, by inducing them, under the promise of money, to vote in favor of a particular bill then pending before the Legislature of Pennsylvania. Four of you have plead guilty and one was convicted on trial. It is greatly to be feared that for many years it has been the prac tice in this State to procure the pass age of laws by corrupt and improper means, and to such an extent has this evil prevailed that instead of examin ing into the propriety or impropriety of measures presented to either house for enactment, the inquiry was much more ! : kely to be made as to the amount of money which those request in? the legislation could afford to pay for the passage of the law. It was charged throughout the whole country that bribery in the Pennsylvania Leg islature was of daily occurrence, and was always "the order of the day." So crying was this evil that when the convention met to frame our present Constitution there appeared to be a fixed determination to break up the practice by severe constitutional enact ments, requiring the pass ge af law T s imposing heavy penalties against those who should directly or indirectly give or offer any money or thing of value to anv member of the Legislature for giving or withholding his vote for or against any measure, as also against the member accepting or receiving the same. The penal code of 1860 pun ished the meml>er accepting the bribe with imprisonment in the penitentiary for a period not exceeding five years and a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, and the person giving or offer ing the bribe could be punished by one year's imprisonment and a fine of five hundred dollars. The fine and impris onment against those giving or cor ruptly soliciting members to receive bribes for their votes lias been greatly increased, to which is superadded by the Constitution the disqualification for holding any office or position of honor, trust or profit in this Common wealth Even the occupation or prac tice of solicitation of members of the Legislature is made a criminal offense, punishable by fine and imprisonment, which is a pretty fair warning to those who hover around the halls of legisla tion under the denomination of "bores." However unimportant you may have considered the offense, it is not so es teemed by this Court. We look upon it not only as a high crime against the laws of the State, which have been long in force and well known to all men, but one leading to the most cor rupt kind of legislation, by whi ;, h the public treasury has been frequently plundered and some individuals enrich ed and others greatly impoverished, and it is much to be feared that some of you are by no moans novices in the art and practice of legislative bribery. What adds to the enormity of the of fense of two of you is the fact that you were at the time members of the Leg islature. and acting in violation of your official oaths, and ende voring to in duce your fellow members to commit perjury on their part. As an individ ual I feel pity for your situation. As a Judge I cannot sympathize with crime. When you come into this court you must understand that the boggar in rags and the millionaire in broadcloth stand on precisely the same footing; the one is to be imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, the o her is not to escape who, by his criminal acts may involve the State in th<> loss of millions. It is not tin l slightest ex cuse as urged by some that the pend ing bill was highly meritorious. If so, it should pass without the aid f bribery. You are unlike some men who are brought into the Court of Quarter Sessions, measureably ex usa. bio on the ground of igm ranee. You are all men of intellig nee and well knew that your acts were illegal. You wei t Into this criminal practice in plain violation of law, with your eyes open. You well knew that many mom' ors of the Legislature wore ut terly corrupt and were ready to st ll their votes in the publio market to the highest bidder. You wore ready to suborn them to commit perjury by vi. olating the oaths they took on their in stallation into office. For th : s offense the sentenc: of the Court is that you each pay a line of one thousand dol lars to the Commonwealth; that you each pay the costs of prosecution in the indictments against you respect ively, and that you each bo imprison ed in the Penitentiary for the Kastern District of Pennsylvania, at Philadel phia, by separate and solitary confine ment at labor for one year; there to lie kept, fed and treated as required by law, arid voti are in the custody of the Sheriff to have tjii.i sentence carried into effect. TAKEN TO JAI h. •Judge I'earsoM had no sooner finish ed than Mr. Keiuble signified his de sire to say something. The Court ap parently did not hear and Mr. Ivemble repeated his desire to b allowed to speak a few wonts. The District Attorney then said; "Your Honor, one of the defendants desires to speak." The .Judge said: 'lie may." Mr. Koniblc, who had remained standing, then said : "May it please your Honor, I am here to-day to re ceive my sentence. It is in deference to the promise | jnado and I wish it to be understood that I ne/er plead guilty to any offense whatever. J made a plea to t his court, part of which they accepted and refused the balance. I don't admit for a minute there is any thing in that charge of which I am guilty." Mr. Ituniborgor then said : "Your Honor, I am here without counsel, who could not get here from Williamsport in time." The Court. "The presence or ab sence of your counsel makes no differ ence in this matter." Itumberger. "I ask for none. I would like to have au with him." The Court. "Your counsel coulil not make one hair black or white. If your counsel is coming, you can have anything put on recoid that is proper or legal, whether after or before." Rumberger. "Just give me the priv ilege of appearing with counsel." The Court. "You are all gentlemen used to freedom, and it is unpleasant for me to pronounce sentence, which I must do to. the wealthiest as to the veriest beggar brought in. You are in the custody of the Sheriff." The remarks of Mr. llumberger were entirely unintelligible to every person, be not being able to make any one un derstand wliy he desited the presence of his counsel. There was uothing more to be done Sheriff Reel led the way out of the court room, the prisoners following in* to the library, where there was a brief conference between the parties and counsel. In a few minutes the five prisoners were conducted across the alley which separates the Court House from the jail, a gaping crowd blocking the way. Within half an hour after the appearance of the men in couit they had been delivered to the care of Keep er Hoffman, and the doors of the jail were closed upon them. Rumberger and I'etroff were put together in a cell on the lower tier, as were Crawford and Salter. Kemble was placed alone in a cell on the upper tier. During the entire afternoon this mat ter has been the chief topic of talk, and every one expresses astonishment at the sentence. It was not expected by anybody here. Steps will immediately be taken to present all the cases to the Board of Pardons, which, however, unless specially called, will not meet for three weeks yet. Mr. Armstrong who is counsel for Rumberger, says a pardon is only a question of time, and Senator Herr concurs in that opinion. It is probable that the prisoners will remain in the custody of the Sheriff here for a couple of weeks, as Court will continue during that time, and it is the custom to await the adjournment of Court before transferring those who have been sentenced to the penitentia ry. THE PRISON DOORS THROWN OPEN. HABBISBURO, Pa., April 30. The Hoard of Pardons met in the of fice of Secretary Quay this morning at ten o'clock. There were present Sec retary Qua}', Secretary Dunkel and Lieutenant Governor Stone. The At torney-General is confined to his room by illness. When ready fur business the counsel for the Commonwealth, in opposition to the pardons of Win. 11. Kemble, Chas. B. Salter, Kmil J. Pet roff, Jesse R. Crawford and Wm. F. Rumberger, was called, but none ap peared. Messrs. Cassidy, Armstrong, Mann and Brewster were present to favor the application, and when asked whether they had anything to say, Mr. Brewster stepped forward and address ed the Board. He said: "When we first appeared before the Board, the de fendants had not received sentence. We understand that this was a bar to your favorable consideration. You have been notified of the sentence, and the defendants are now suffering the penalty of the law. We have nothing to add. We desire simply to have the cases considered." "Is there anyone here for the Com mon wealth?" asked Secretary Quay. "There is not," said the Recorder. "Then we might as well go into ex ecutive session," said the Secretary, and the few spectators retired. After waiting about an hour, the Recorder appeared and announced that the following was the result of the con sultation : ILAURISBT'IU;, Pa., April 30. To hi* Excellency, Henry M. Jfoyt, Governor of I'emuylvania: The Hoard of Pardons recommend that so much of the Hentence of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Dauphin county imposing imprison ment, hv separate and solitary confinement at hard lnhor in the Eastern Penitentiary.on Wil liam H. Keinhle, Jesse Ft. Crawford, \Vtii. F. Uuinberger, Kmil J. Petroff and Charles 1!. Halter, for the crime of corrupt solicitation of members of the Legislature, he remitted, and that the remainder thereof, imposing payment of fine and costs and disqualification to hold any office of trust or profit under the Common wealth, he executed lor the following reasons: The act of 1874, defining the crimes of corrupt solicitation, provides for simple imprisonment. No power is lodgeil in the courts hy the Con stitution or laws to add to or impose conditions not contained in the statute. The sentenoe in these eases super-adds to the statutory punish ment the oondllion* that the Imprisonment shall lie hy separate and solitary confinement at la bor in the Penitentiary, and that tie prisoner* shall he fed and clothed us provided hy law. In numerous aniilagous eases the .Supreme Court of the State have decided such enlarged senten ces unlawful, and hy the common law impris onment in the penitentiary has always hoen re curded as infamous. In view of the foregoing facts, and of the severity of the punishment re maining to he executed for an olfcuce recently made punishable, and for which these are the first convictions, we make the foregoing recom mendation.

RUMBEIUIER INSANE, llAßßisnimu, April 27.—One of the saddest results of the riot-briliery trials and the conviction of the corrupt solie itatiouiats and their subsequent impris onment, was made public to-night by the rumor that Hepreaontative William K. Rumberger, now confined in jail, had become demented. It was appar ent for several days previous to the sentence, notably on Saturday last, that Mr. Rumberger was acting strange ly. He could talk of nothing else but "our case," and while engaged in ordi nary conversation he would break off abruptly to tullf of the prospective sen tences. To hi- counsel on Hatnn|ay he was perfectly satisfied with his plea of guilty and directly afterward informed a reporter that it was his intention to withdraw the plea of guilty anil insist upon a trial, lie was worried and ner- VOIH, and ulthoijgh every effort was made by hia fi ietpls to cheer him up it was without avail. Alter the sentence which affected him deeply, he attempt, ed to speak to the Court, but his rum bling, disjointed sentences were mean ingless, and impressed the spectators with the idea that even then his mind was unbalanced. Since he has been in jail his conduct has been very strange. Hi; was taken ill this morning, but his case vyas not cons tiered serious ijntil this evening, when it was resolved to send for the prison physician, Dr. Wil liam 11. Kgle. Your representative visited Dr. Rgle this evening to inquire ii|to the truth of the rumor, -and wus informed by him that Rumljerger \yas suffering from dementia, caused by tho worrimcnt, anxiety and trouble that had befallen him recently. lie is be ing well cared for in the prison, but appears to be totally broken down. Dr. Kgle says he cannot tell whether Rumberger will recover or not. ESTABLISHED 1817. H. Chods~& Co, WHOLESALE DEALERS IN BOOTS & SHOES, 133 Wood Street, Pittsburgh, Pa.

This disease like many others is regarded as incurable. It is not so. If it is taken in time it is ns easily cured as a wart or a corn. We know very well that it is a fearful disease and w ill est away until it destroys life, that is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to when it first makes its appearance, or soon after, there is uo trouble in eradicating it from the system. Persons w ill have to 1m- here during part of the treatment, consequently there is no use writing to me for information whether it can be cured without my seeing the case. I also treat with success, Rupture, Piles, Fistula, Ulcers, I'lccrated legs, Varicose Veins, Varici cele Tumors, Hydrocele, ami every form of Skin Disease.
