. r _ ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS. J.|R. Tanner for Treasurer and R. Ed wards for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Springfield, 111., Sept. I.—The Republican State convention was held in this city to-day, and was quite fully attended. It was called to order by Hon. A. M. Jones, chairman of the State central committee, and was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Preston Wood. The temporary organization was then announced, with Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, of Danville, as temporary chairman. Mr. Cannon addressed the convention upon assuming the chair. He referred to some of the achievements of the Republican party, arraigned tbo present federal administration and tho Democratic House of Representatives, and predicted that the Republican party would be again placed in power. The districts were called and each presented a member of the committees on credentials, permanent organization, resolutions, and committee to select members of the State central committee at large. The convention then took a recess until 3 o’clock. On reassf mbling. the committee on credentials reported all districts represented and no contests. Tne report was received and adopted. The committee on permanent organization reported, recommending that the temporary organization be made permanent The committee to select members at large of the State central committee also reported, and the report was vigorously attacked by ex-Gov-ernor Hamilton, of Cook county, and on his motion it was laid on the table. The committee on resolutions reported the following the platform, which was adopted: The Republicans of Illinois, in convention assembled, reaffirm tbeir unfaltering loyalty to the principles of the party, as enunciated in all their National platforms, from Lincoln to Blaine. VYe believe liberty is the inalienable right of every man, whatever his race or color, and in the equality of every man before the laws. We believe that the purity of the ballot is necessary to the permanent security of our free institutions, and the ballot is only maintained in its purity when every citizen can oast his vote for whomsoever he pleases, with the assurance that it will be counted as it is oast. We believe in American soil for American eitizens, and are opposed to non resident aliens becoming land owners. The public domain should be reserved as homesteads for actual settlers, and the accumulation of large tracts or bodies of lands in the hands of corporations or individuals should be discouraged, and in the case of land grants to railroad corporations, when said corporations have failed to comply with the conditions of said grants, the land should be forfeited to the general government and held for the benefit of actual settlers. We believe in the protection of American labor, and denounce as unwise and unpatriotic the attempts to embody in our national legislation the principles of free trade. Intelligent, prosperous free labor is the corner-stono on which our free government is founded, and we protest agaiust its being impoverished by competition with productions of the underpaid labor of —thiQ' Did World, or degraded by the importation of heathen or pauper labor from China or any other portion of the world. We believe our soldiers and sailors, in their heroic defense of the Union in the late war, placed the Nation under a debt of obligation it can never repay, and that it is the duty of the government to grant pensions and establish homes for all such as are disabled ®r in want, and we approve the course of our Republican Senators and members of Congress in voting pensions, and the action of the members of the thirtyfourth Illinois Assembly in making an appropriation for a soldiers’ home. We realize the injustice of forcing the competition of contract prison labor upon the honest labor of the I country, and urge upon our legislators the enactment of such laws as will prevent it. and we favor the adoption of a constitutional amendment on this subject at the coming election. We believe it is the right and duty of the national government to pass laws regulating the great railroad corporations of the country, protecting the people from extortion and unjust discrimination, and we apErove the principles of the bill passed by tho United tates Senate, known as the Cullom bill, and urge our Senators and Representatives in Congress to have the same engrafted upon our national jftW '' Under this free Republic, which is a government “by the people and for the people,” thedisciples of ar-. --by <iSn find no legitimate excuse for propagatir ..eir treasonable and disorganizing principles, and we denounce such propagators as unworthy of citizenship; but we recognize the rights of all men, of every calling. to form organizations and associations to promote their mutual good and protection, and we favor such wise legislation as will protect the rights of all and promote that harmony which ought always te prevail between employed and employer. We congratulate the people of Illinois on the prompt Conviction of the leaders in the attempt to debauch the ballot-box in Chicago at the late Stare election. We demand that all the offenders against the purity K>f the ballot shall be brought to speedy and condign punishment, and we return our thanks to the Thirtyfourth General Assembly for the enactment of the city-election law, whereby fraudulent voting may be effectually prohibited. We arraign the Democratic administration of President Cleveland for having failed to keep the pledges on which it came into power. It promised economy and retrenchment, and has been most extravagant in expenditures and appropriations, which, for the current year, largely exceed the abundant revenues of the government. It promised to reduce the surplus in the treasury, but, reversing the rule of previous administrations, has permitted such surplus to lie idle and accumulate, to the injury of the business of the country, and refused to approve the action of a large majority of both bouses of Congress directing that such surplus bo invested in the interest-bearing debt of the Nation. It promised to care for and give attention to the disabled soldiers and sailors of the late war, and treated with contemptuous veto every pension bill against which it could find any shadow of technical objection. It promised to protect the persons and property of citizens, both at home and abroad, and to maintain the dignity and honor of the Nation, yet in its relations with Great Britain it has shown itself unable to give protection to either persons or property, and has permitted our flag to be insulted, withoi-.t proper protest, almost in sight of our shores, while, by nasty and unseemly action, it has unnecessarily jeopardized our friendly relations with the Mexican republic, and made our Nation ridiculous in the eyes of the world. Resolved. That we sympathize with all peonV, in their struggle for liberty, and we hope that t iort now being made by the Irish people for hoir j rule will meet with success. Resolved, That, the Republican party is now, as always, a party that has continuously advocated and promoted the elevation of tho workingman and the relief of the oppressed, and the record of that party is a pledge that it will continue to pass and enforce such legislation as shall protect all oia-’ses of laborers and producers from injustice and oppression at the hands of individusls or corporations, and guard all persons, without distinction, in the enjoyment of their civil and personaal rights. Resolved, That the present revenue system of the State, under which small property-holders contribute more than their share of the public burdens, needs speedy revision. We approve of civil service reform. John R. Tanner, of Clay county, was nominated for State Treasurer, and Richard Edwards, of Bureau, for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Adjourned.

Missouri Republicans. ym Sedalia, Mo., Sept. I.— The Republican State tonvention met ia this city at noon. Rev. B. F. Seller opened the proceedings with prayer. J. P. Upton, of Polk county, was elected temporary chairman, arid F. W. Martin, of St. Louis, temporary secretary.

Doesn't Want To He Vice-President. Washington, Sept. 1. —Senator Voorhees denies point-blank he would give up the senatorship to become /ic-* president. Costly Railway Bridge Burned. Leavenworth, Kan., Sept I.—The bridge •panning the Missouri river at Fort Leavenworth wag burned to-night. It is an iron structure, but tho floor and half r. mile of trestle were

destroyed entirely. Loss, over $400,000. The fire originated at the west end of the bridge, and the wind drove the flames on until the entire woodwork and the trestle approach on the the Missouri side were consumed. It was impossible for the firemen to rsnder any assistance in putting out the flames. This is the only means which the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific have of reaching this city. > OUT-DOOR SPORTS. Games Played Yesterday by League and American Association Ball Clubs. Detroit, Sept. I.—Had New fork bunched some good plays as well as they did theiss hits, to-day’s game would have resulted differently. However, Welch is chiefly to blame, as five of the eight Detroiters who reached the first on called balls scored. The visitors secured but one hit in five innings. Then they earned all their tuds with & double, a single and a home run in the sixth, four singles in the seventh, and a single and home run in the ninth. Detroit’s hits were scattered, and it was only by means of bases on balls and the poor playing of the visitors that they won. Thompson made one of his characteristic phenomenal running catches.

The Maroons fielded badly, and were unable to hit Stemmeyer effectively, Glasscock and McKinnon only beiDg able to gauge him. The game was dull and uninteresting. About two thousand people were present. Cahill took Kirby’s place in the fourth inning, and was not hit hard.

Beach Easily Defeats Termer. London, Sepc. L —ln the deciding heat of the international sculling sweepstakes, between William Beach, of Australia, and John Teemer, of the United States, Beach won. The race was rowed over the regular championship course, from Putney to Mortlake. At Hammer smith bridge Beach led Teemer six lengths. boat struck one of the buttresses of the bridge and was disabled, preventing her from following the race to the finish. Beach almost raddled home, winning with consummate ease by ten lengths. Authorities declare Beach to be the greatest sculler that has been seen in England. He looked to-day as though he could row ten miles at racing speed. The betting on Beach at the start was two to oue, but this increased when the rowers reached Hammersmith bridge to twenty to one. Time, 22 min., 50 sec. Ilanlan Defeats Courtney. New York, Sept I.—The single-scull match for a nurse of $2,000, between Edward Hanlan and Charles E. Courtney, three miles with a turn, was decided this afternoon on Jamaica bay, Long Island, and resulted in an easy victory for Hanian. It was estimated that fully 15,000 people witnessed the contest. What little betting there was was at the odds of SIOO to SOO on Hanlan. Ex-Senator J. M. Oakley, of Long Island, was referee. Hanlan won the race by ten leugths. The winner’s time was given out by the official time-keeper as 19 min., 22£ sec.; Courtney, thirty secouds later. Courtney said, after the race, that he was fairly beaten. Hanlau’s backer will now challenge Beach to a single-sci.ll race on the Tyne, England, for a stake of $5,000 a side. Condition of the Public Debt. Washington, Sept.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1886.

AN UNHAPPY FAMILY. The Situation in Indiana Sized Up With Commendable Accuracy. Boston Advertiser. If we were asked to name the area of greatest unhappiness in the United States at the present time, we think it would be quite safe t.o say it is in that part of the Nation whictf the Democratic party of Indiana represents. The kind of a time th9y are having out there is what may be pointedly suggested bv reference to the well-known story of the parrot and the monkey. Indiana has a great Democratic leader, whose name is William H. English, and he is as capable of making as much trouble in anjrgiven time as anybody who could be named. Since Mr. Enelish was the Democratic candidate for Vice Presi* dent, although it is not generally thought that he did the party any brilliant service in that capacity, he assumes to be the leader of the party in that State, and, if it does not follow his beckoning, he raises a disturbance in short order. There has not yet appeared anybody able to suppress him or to stand against him. - Four years ago Mr. English succeeded in electing his son to Congress from the Indianapolis district. No, we are wrong. Young English was not elected four years ago. He was a candidate. and was beaten by the Republican candidate, Mr. Peelle: but he contested the seat, and a Democratic House of Representatives seated him in the face of evidence that he was defeated so clear that many Democrats would not vote for the consummation of the shameful proceeding, although the elder English begged their support in a way that secured him a rebuke Jor abusing his privilege to go upon the floor of the House. Young English, when admitted, was no credit to his father or his constituents, and the Democratic convention, two years ago, threw him overboard and nominated a gentleman named Bynum, who was elected. The offense of beatine his son in the convention and getting fairly elected in the district which had fairly defeated young English, was one which the elder English could not forgive. He has given his whole energy to compassing Mr. Bynum’s defeat this year; but he was beaten in the nominating convention, and his candidate had to take a nomination from bolters. Thus there were two Democratic candidates in the field; but the resources of the English family were not exhausted. They went to work on the State committee to procure a declaration that there was no regular nomination made. The committeemen were averse to putting themselves in any such absurd position, but the English family was implacable. Ex-Senator Joseph Me Donald is a member of the State committee, and he had many times declared that Bynum was regularly nominated. Bnt Mr. McDonald desires to be United States Senator again, and he threw the casting vote in the committee which put it in accord with the English family. How ever, Mr. Bynum stoutly declared for a long time that he would pay no attention to this fiat of the State committee, ard would not submit to make anew contest before anew convention which the State committee had called. But he has been forced to reconsider that determination, and he and his friends are now engaeed in a fresh canvass to secure another nomination for him. The chances are that he will be beaten, for the combination of McDonald, English and Coy, the latter the saloon boss of the Indianapolis Democrats- will hardly be defeated. The new convention was called to secure the de feat of Bynum, and will probably succeed. There are two or three other Indiana districts where similar conditions exist; but the Democrats have served notice on the State committee that they will not submit to their interference in the ragine quarrels. The harmony that does not prevail in the Democratic party of Indiana is strongly indicated by the following utterance of the Evansville Courier, which in staudingand influence is the second, if not the first, Democratic journal in the State: "Let the Democracy place no reliance upon the State central committee, which is acain, as it was in the disastrous campaign of 1880, controlled entirely by English. Let the people take the management of the campaign out of the hands of the reckless schemers at the capital, who. in their greed for personal advancement, would lead the party to disaster and defeat. Organize by counties, and let Mr. English and his committee flock by themselves.” The Republicans regard this state of affairs with composure and complacency. Their State convention will be held next Thursday, and it is thought probable that Senator Benjamin Harrison will preside, in which case we may expec# from him a vigorous exposition of the vital issues of the contest in its national as well as its local features.

REPUBLICANS IN MAINE. A Systematic Management of Affairs and Every Chance of Success. Correspondence Boston Hera^l. A visit to the headquarters of the Republican State committee to-dav showed more activity point; on there than is generally known. A large clerical force is hard at work, and the amount of political literature sent out is enormous. 100,000 of Mr. Blaine’s Sebago Lake speech alone being sent out to the voters. The number of visiting statesmen to these headauarters is large. They come from all parts of the State. A considerable proportion of them are party workers, who come here to talk over the situation in their respective localities with Chairman Manley, and to receive from him such instructions as are ueeessary in running the machine. Mr. Blaine’s trusted lieuteuant is laboring in the most energetic manner to bring about an overwhelming defeat to the Demo crats. All the movements of the army of speakers on the Republican stump are directed by him. He is kept constantly advised of the situation in every portion of this large State, and if speakers are called for, or money is wanted, both are promptly furnished. In all probability there has never been a political canvass in Maine that has been planned, systernized and is being managed with more consummate skill on the part of the Republicans than the present one. A regular set of books is kept at headquarters, in which are to be found recorded the name of every voter in the State, as well as of every man out of the State who enjoys the right of suffrage in Maine, the town and county in which he lives, his age, occupation, religious belief, if he has any. how he will vote, whether he is in the doubtful class; in short, every voter's political pedigree has been furnished the State committee with an accuracy that would surprise the man himself if he could see the record. The value of this enrollment as a political directory may be illustrated bv the following circumstance, which took place at headquarters to-day: Candidate Bodwell, who lives only four miles from here, was showing Chairman Manley a letter he had just received, in which the writer represented himself as a Republican, and asked for certain political information. The Republican standard-bearer was undecided whether to reply to it or not. as the writer was a stranger. Chairman Manley immediately consulted his books, and, as a triumphant smilo illuminated his face, he said to the Republican candidate for Governor: “The man who wrote you that letter is a red-hot Bourbon Democrat, and a sharp, shrewd fellow. He is doing all he can to elect Colonel Edwards, and it is evident that his letter was sent to entrap you on some of the inquiries he has made. The best place for it is in that wastebasket.” _ Cleveland's Treatment of Rogers, Washington Special. The failure of General Rogers, of Buffalo, to receive the appointment is still the subject of much gossip. The gentleman himself frankly confesses to a keen disappointment. He was confidently expecting the office. The following appears in print as an explanation of the matter: “General Rogers was a member of the Fortyeighth Congress, and was a candidate for reelection. In the primaries the delegates had been set no for him, and he could undoubtedly have been nominated and elected. Just before the county convention, and after Cleveland had been nominated for President,. Dan Lockwood, who placed Cleveland in nomination for every office that he has held, sent a delegation of friends to Rogers and notified the Getieral tsat he (Lockwood j desired to be in Washington with Cleveland. He pointed out to the Congressman that Cleveland was practically certain to be elected, and that he, Lockwood, would like to sit in Congress during his friend’s administration in order that he might be near him. The delegation of Lockwood’s friends promised Rogers that if he would withdraw in favor of Lockwood he should be taken care of in the event of Cleveland’s success. It was well known at the time that Rogers desired to be Public Printer, and it was generally understood in Buffalo that the compact or deal between Rogers op the one hand and Lockwood, Bissell and Cleveland on the other was such as to give Rogers a practical promise that he should have the place. The selection of

another man will intensify the feelings of hostility toward Cleveland that exist among Buffalo Democrats. * DEVOTION TO THE LOST CAUSE. A Prerequisite to the Obtaining of Oflico in Texas. Lebanon Patriot. The following card explains itself. It is from the Star-News, Nacogdoches, Tex., of Ang. 6. This is not- copied second-handed, but we have the paper in our office. Mr. Dunson, who thus cards the Star-News, is a candidate for tax collector: "A CARD. "To the Citizens of Nacogdoches County: "I am informed that it has been extensively reported in portions of this county that I am a Yankee and that I served in the federal army during the late civil war. I here state that there is not a shadow of truth in this report. I was born in Troup county, Georgia, and there and in Chambers county, Alabama, lived till the breaking out of the civil war. My record as a soldier was made following the banners of the lost cause. Since the close of that contest I have resided in Texas, in Colorado and Nacogdoches counties. The associations of my life as well as the traditions of my family are strictly Southern. These facts can be substantiated through a number of old and well-known citizens of this county. The said report having been invented and circulated in this county since I announced myself as a candidate, there is no one so obtuse as not to be able to see that it was done for the purpose of engendering an adverse feeling toward me. thereby affecting my candidacy prejudicially. My adversary is entrenched in seclusion, and hurls his javelin from ambush; so that I have no other way of responding, and this constitutes my apology to the public for obtruding this communication. H. F. Dunson.” The same paper shows its love for and devotion to the colored race by the following announcement: "To settle a question that is frequently discussed, we desire to inform all who wish to know that this paper will positively not announce a colored candidate for office in its columns.” Leather Men in Convention. Boston, Sept. I.—The annual convention of the National Tanners and Hide and Leather Dealers' Association opened here this morning. James E. Mooney, of Chicago, presided. After the various committees were appointed the meeting took a recess until afternoon. The afternoon session was devoted to the reading and discussion of papers, which will be continued to-mor-row. At the afternoon session the following officers were chosen: President, Theo. King, of Boston: secretary. Theodore Hoyt, of Boston; treasurer, H. H. Btctel; vice-presidents, D. Frank, of Louisville, Ky.; O. Klappham and F. W. Clark, of Chicago; N. Brown and A. Landon, of St. Louis; T. Gratizigen, of Pittsburg; G. W. Allen, of Milwaukee; Jackson S. Schultz, of New York; O. S. Childs, of Binghamton: M. Wath and James Mooney, of Cincinnati; James A. Lord, of Salem; M. Locke, of Boston: Robert Inniss, of Pennsylvania, and B. S. Depad, of Baltimore. Various committee reports were made and accepted, and discussion of several topics followed.

New Minister to Mexico. Washington Special. Judge T. T. Manning, of Louisiana, is 6aid to have been appointed minister to Mexico to day. The report is that his commission was returned from the Adirondacks to day, signed by tho President. Judge Manning was a visitor to Washington about a year ago, when he made the acquaintance of Secretary Bayard. His Southern manners and conversation made an impression that has evidently been of some account, although it is part of Louisiana history that Manning could not get indorsements enough for an appointment to a circuit judgeship from prominent men in his own State on account of his habits. While he is admitted to be a man of ability and wholly free from all local ring influences, a repetition of the episode would not surprise those who are acquainted with his failings. The New Public Printer’s Qualifications. Philadelphia Press. The new Public Printer, Mr. Benedict, got his experience in the business as proprietor of a small country journal up in New York State, where the position compelled a man to mould public opinion at so much per mould, payable in cord wood, dried apples and other works of art, write all the vendue bills for the farmers, and sweep out the office once every year. With these broad experiences in statesmanship ,to guide him, Mr. Benedict ought to edit his new office m a way that would leave nothing to be desired. Sedgwick and Pulque Forever, Chicago Tribnne. It can no longer be doubted that Mr. Bayard is in a fa’r way to escape honorably from his embarrassing position with regard to Mexico. The forthcoming report of "Special Envoy” Sedgwick ought, in the logical course of events, to enable the Secretary to withdraw with dignity his reiterated demand for the surrender of Editor Cutting and to retire with perfect placidity from the incidentally necessary consequence of the demand, embodied in the presentation of that journalist’s claim for indemnity. Losses by Fire. Pittsburg, Sept. I.—The extensive planingmill and iumber-vards owned by Georee Barber, on the corner of Kilbuck and Craig streets, Allegheny City, were totally destroyed by fire touight about midnight. Loss, $60,000; fully covered by insurance. Adjoining buildings were damaged to the extent of several thousand dollars. Suncook, N. H., Sept. 1. —A brick building, owned by James F. Langmaid. of Minnesota, burned to-day. Loss, $15,000; insured. Yellow Fever in the South. New Orleans, Sept. I.—Great excitement was created to-day all along the lake shore when it became known that Drs Hunt, Salomon and Scales had decided the case of fever at Biloxi to be yeliow fever. At Biloxi a panic prevailed, and hundreds of persons came to this city by train to-night. They sav they do not fear yellow fever. but are not willing to suffer the inconveniences of a quarantine. A Pastor’s Improprieties, Providence, R. 1., Sept. 1. —The congregation of Trinity M. E. Church, in this city, are greatly excited over alleged improprieties of their pastor, Rev. Charles T. Goodell, and the wife of one of the most prominent parishioners, Theodore W. Foster. Mr. Foster has already placed an appeal for a divorce in the hands of his lawyer, and the matter will soon be brought before the courts. A Love-Maddened Youth. New York, Sept. I.—Jacob L. Finn, aged nineteen, member of a large clock-making firm at 14 White street, blew his brains out to-day because a pretty girl named Clara Simmons, in the employ of the firm, would not marry him clandestinely. His family objected to his marrying the girl on account of the difference in their social position. Reunion of Old Settlers. The old settlers of Marion, Hancock, Madison and Hamilton counties will hold their twentysecond annual reunion at Oakland, on next Saturday. The meetings are usually exceedingly pleasant and interesting in asocial and historical way, and a large attendance of old people is expected. Two trains will be ruu to Oakland, one at 8 o’clock and the other at 11:05, and the round trip can be made for 55 cents. She Got Away with the Bird. There was grent excitement on New Jersey street in and about Fort Wayne avenue, yesterday afternoon. First a colored woman with a red shawl over her shoulders and covering some struggling object under her arm was seen running down New Jersey street from Gregg street and through an alley. Next appeared a pursuer, a short German woman, bareheaded and very earnest- Two minutes later a policeman. Within five minutes the alleys were filled with women and childreo. "What’s the matter?” inquired a Journal reporter of the earnest little German woman, who evidently had little better luck in catching

her breath than in eatchincr the colored fugitive. She finally explained that she worked at Liberty Howard’s, on Gregg street, as a domestic, and that while plucking a chicken, the head of which she had just cut off, with a live chicken near by awaiting slaughter, a colored woman had come along, grabbed the live bird and ran. “She got avay,” said the German maiden, with much disgust in her expressive face. “Aber, I know her, of I see her, nnd 1 cotch her efcryblace I find her, you pet” Police Matters. The Police Commissioners yesterday appointed Frank Giblin as an extra policeman. Giblin is the man who voted for Bynum in the May convention, but as Sim Coy was engineering his chances before the board, particularly since it rejected him some time ago, because he is two-thirds of an inch below the standard height, it is presumed Bynum’s fences are down, so *ar as Giblin is concerned. The commissioners having examined into the matter of patrolman Thomas’s action in forgetting to either purchase a dog license or return the dollar which wa3 given him for that purpose some time ago, by a citizen, found him guilty of neglect, and suspended him from the force for a period of ten days. Special police powers were granted yesterday to John Killy, S. T. Herrons, James ft. Donoven and H. C. Carter. The Young Men’s Republican Clnb.

Gladly recommends it.—l contracted, some weeks ago. a severe cold, with pain in my side and shoulder. I gave vour Salvation Oil a trial, and it relieved me at once. Chas. S. Gilbert, No, 318 Hollins street, Baltimore, Md.

A Common Cold Is often the beginning of serious affections of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes, and Lungs. Therefore, the importance of early and effective treatment cannot be overestimated. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral may always be relied upon for the speedy cure of a Cold or Cough. Last January I was attacked with a severe Cold, which, by neglect and frequent exposures, became worse, finally settling on my lungs. A terrible cough soon followed, accompanied by pains in the chest, from which I suffered intensely. After trying various remedies, without obtaining relief, I commenced taking Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and waa Speedily Cured. I am satisfied that this remedy saved my life. Jno. Webster, Pawtucket, R. I. I contracted a severe cold, which suddenly developed into Pneumonia, presenting dangerous and obstinate symptoms. My physician ordered the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. His instructions were followed, and the result was a rapid and permanent cure. H. E. Stimpson, Rogers Prairie, Tex. Two year.s ago I suffered from a severe Cold, which settled on my Lungs. I consulted various physicians, and took the medicines they prescribed, but received only temporary relief. A friend induced me to try' Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. After taking two bottles of this medicine I was cured. Since then I have given the Pectoral to my children, and consider it The Best Remedy for Colds, Coughs, and all Throat and Lung diseases, ever used in my family. Robert Vamlerpool, Meadville, Pa. Some time ago I took a slight Cold, which, being neglected, grew worse,4ma settled on my Lungs. I had a hacking cough, and was very weak. Those who knew me best considered my life to he in great danger. I continued to suffer until I commenced using Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Less than one bottle of this valuable medicine cured me, and I feel that I owe the preservation of my life to its curative powers. Mrs. Ann Lockwood, Akron, New York. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is considered, here, the one great remedy for all diseases of the throat and lungs, and is more in demand than any other medicine of its class. —J. F.
