Heid baa reached the goal cf his ambition. He is the Visa Commissioner of Indiana. Happy Enos! LlETTEXAST GOYEKHOB MAJiSOK is Pr OVlng grace fal presiding officer. The Senatars to a man respect the old hero, who is as patriotic in peace as he was gallant in war. Do k Camef.o goes to the Senate for another dix years. The Pittsburg banquets given eaily in the contest seems to have brought satisfactory returns. TaxBaSalo Express gives the following receipt for making a civil service reformer ontofa Democrat Give him office. This receipt has the merit o! being decidedly pal. table at least. Tire Houm of Representatives evidently thinks that the late Republican Governor of Indiana needs a little "investigating." The House so resolved yesterday by a very significant vote. Now lkt us see whether the organs will aecond the movement made in the Legislature yesterday to investigate matters conxected with the duties of the late republican Governor of the State. No pfcket shops for Missouri. A bill has been introduced into the Legislature of that State prohibiting deals in options or fu tnres. The penalty for violation is not less than $100 and not more than f 1,000 for each offense. Well, gentlemen of the Blaine organs, why have you quit your frantic onslaught on Mr. St. John? Was he "bribed" or not? Let us have the names o! those Republicans who offered him the b;ui. The case grows interesting. Ott of the good stories about General Grant is that Marshall Jewell once told the ieneral that Charles Sumner did not believe Sn the Bible. "Don't wonder," quickly replied the imperturbable Ulysses, "3umuer did not write the Bible." Tax outlook, for business in all parts of the country is improving. Trices are s'.owly climbing np, and a prosperous season is expected by ill. Bradstrect'8 bolstering up lopuiar confidence by an encouraging renew of the commercial situation. A Niw Obleus paper Bays: The rosyrteeked Northern school teachers of the -sweeter sez are sweeping through the corridors of the exposition in attractive groups. Other Iidieg can not resist the temptation to fall in and be admired by the crowd." It is said that Mrs. Logan received a telegram from 8priDfield, 111., on the 19th that her husband's chances for the Senat orshlp -b3. 1 vanished. The General seems to be in hard luci. He might help Blaine fiaish his .second volume. Theke is no economy in curtailing the accommodations of the insane, blind and feeble folk:. Let the State give them abundance of room, food and raiment. Let the appropriations be generous without being extravagant, and then let the Republican organs howl. That cheerful old termapant, the Chicago Tribune, confesses that if Jeff Davis had joined the Republican party at the close of the war it "might have believed in him" a little bit. Kot being a Republican, he remains a traitor. Colossal lof,ic Mr. Committeeman, put the red ribbon on the Chi csgo donkey. Call in the Indianapolis Journal and the Commercial Gazette, Thk 8Cne when Lincoln signed the pro damation of emancipation is thus described: "As he took up the pen he said to Secretary Stanton: 'My arm is numb to the ehoulder from so much hand shaking. If my band trembles they will say it was because I was afraid.' Then he threw out Lis nnder-lip In a peculiar manner and wrote the unfaltering signature, A. Lincoln,' that gave freedom to over 3,000,000 blacks." The Louisville Courier-J jurnal gts it iown about right when saying tnat a Demo erat is one who believes in a strict construction of the Constitution; in the divorcement of church and 8tate; ia a nonnd currency, expressed in gold and silver, and paper convertible into gold on demand; in a clear division ot the powers of Government, State od National; in taxation exclusively for public purposes, and, as to imports laid in a low scale of duties; and opposed to subsidies, bounties, sumptuary )aa, excessive aosumulatoDS and expenditure, preferring a gitcple aDd frugal to a splendid Government ScHCYLiaCoLrAx after ths death of II r .e Greeley was offered the editorship of the Ntw York Tribune. He said: "I most hnve this night to think of it and to consult my wife. I leave early in the morning and will send you a note whether I accept or decline the offer.' He and Mrs. Colfax tailed it over, and finally came to tbe conclusion not to leave South Bend tor even so attractive an experiment. "And in the morning arly," aaid Mr. Colfax, "I went before Orion was np and stuck a note under his door declining the proposition. The next I knew was tbat Mr. Heid had obtained control o! a majority of the stock and was :it the beim I have never regretted the Up I took. Tbe offering was alluring, bat the rpsponsibility was great; it involved radical changes in my war ot living, anl it ii ss weil tbat it fell to a yonogsr mis." BOME3 FOR THE INS AN B There tcculd be no backwardness on the part of tbe irienda of the State's a ill icted -wards in urging the appropriations necessary to tbe completion of the esjlam for the ifijano now in courss ol cdcstrastloa. In

many counties the ialls and hospitals are the abodes of the Insane who have to be proTided (or at the public expense. While theseVUces are totally unfit for their habitatiorVbrding neither the comforts nor treatment humanity demands for them, yet the cost of caring for theta is fully equal to what it would be if in a State asylum. 6), then, the early completion ot the asylums will be really a public economy. I'ut even were this not true it would bs a solemn duty of the 8tate to use all possible expedition in providing suitable asylum homes for all her insane. The question ot ways and means for raising the money to be applied to this purpose may be one for discussion, but there should be debate upon the proposition that this money must be raised. There is absolutely to danger o! the people disapproving an appropriation; they will not object to tbe additional tax levy for providing it. There are few in the State whose sympathies have not been aroused by persona! Observation of or contact with some deranged person. To every 510 of population in Indiana there is one per.on insane. The 3,500 of these unfortunates have in kins-people, friends and humane sympathizers a host in tbe State to plead the Justification of an allowance for the taking care of them. Tbe legislator who is instrumental in securing the consummation of the proposed provision for the insane now outside the asylums will merit the applause of every heart that throbs with hnman compassion.

"BOUND TO SHINE." Heretofore it has been the dignified custom of defeated aspirants for the Presidency to withdraw quietly to the seclusion of their homes and, without being peculiarly silent or gloomy, to preserve a genteel quietude for a brief season at least. Not so with Mr. Blaine. The malignant and snarling speech made at Augusta followed close upon the heels of the November Waterloo. Then followed spiteful small talk with those of his adherents who ventured to condole with him, reflecting alike upon the unsuccessful managers of his campaign and the adherents of his successful rival, the President-elect. Bis appearance at Washington was quickly supplemented by rumors of a miaunderstanding with Freident Arthur; opposition to the official appointment o those who do not wear ths Elaine collar; the tabooing of others who fail to toady to certain Bocial requirements of the Blaine standard, and so on, for quantity. As the Chicago News says: "Never before in American politics has the venom of defeated aspirations so permeated the head and political household of a defeated candidate as is daily illustrated in the cond act ot Mr. Blaine and his adherents " It is understood that he has prepared a b lack list" ot all who have crossed his pathway. How he propose to get even with this necessarily lengthy roster of antiBlainites we have not the remotest conception. In the meantime, however, in the words of the old negro couplet, "He Is bound to shine, Like Dandy Jim, uv Soul Caroline," and to this end we notice that the Washington papers announce brilliant weekly receptions at the residence of the late defeated every Thursday night. The significance of this lies in the fact that Secretary Freliuerhuyeen had previously selected the f a teereniii?t for the entertainment of his friends. Thus does Mr. Blaine socially antagonize the Premier o e las Repa t. To give still farther emphasis to his intention to "shine," it la remarked that his driving equipage u one of the most dashing and brilliant on Pennsylvania avenue. Grant, when President, frequently droye his own horses, but Mr. Blaine is always accompanied by driver and footman In fell and dazzling livery. We wonder what would have been the effect ot Mr. Blaine's Western tour had he dashed through Ohio tnd Indiana in his Washington turnout It '8 very clear that ha do s not propose to be vf rshadovred by the outgoing administration of Mr. Arthur or the incoming one of Mr. Cleveland. He is "bound to Bhlne." LOCAL OPIION. Tne local optionist, when scraped down to the bone, will in every instance be found to be a Prohibitionist. The Prohibitionist Is one of that class who entertain the opinion that society not only needs a government, but a guardianship, and that they must be the guardians. To hold that the majority in a township or ward may dictate to the minority what they shall eat, drink or wear is a political heresy of exactly the same kind, though in a less degree, as to ordain that the majority in the whole State may dictate to the minority in such matters. Local option is a small, petty, diminutive, retail species of despotism, which says in the way of sumnary: if we can not' aiuoy and destroy the natural rights ot men at larje, and altogether, we will at least insult and erase them by piecemeal. And thermit may be asked , shall not the majority iu a particular locality have the power to regulate its affairs? Most certainly. Its own afi!n, so far as they appertain to public ipvernraent. Bat this right does not extend s far as to make the 'majority either the judges of or spies rjpon the conduct or habits of the private citizen, te long as there ia naught in tbem to disturb the public peace and order. No free Government can rightfully interfere irith the food, drink, raiment, speech, opinion, press or worship of itjcltiz-sna; aad such in interfeKQCd is equally unwarranted whether it be in the Nation, the State, the county or the townehlp. Tbe legitimate exercise of tbe powers of government, whether general or local, can ocly be used to punish the abuse of these natural rights, not to de troy them or forbid them. That any man or association of men should voluntarily, either for their own sake or the sake of others, abstain this is temperance; that any citizen should be compelled to do so this is tyranny. We must distinguish between temperance and tyranny. Temperance may be Justly fostered by appeal to the will, the conscience and ths bevrt; it can only be hurt and injure! by an appeal to force aa Us sanction. The position of tbe Democratic party on this subject baa not been tiken oat of fear, favor or affection to any peculiar claaor interest, or out of hostility to anr. that position rota upou tbe nature of Democracy itself. We believe in telf government, in the capacity of men to control themselves, to govern their own conduct. In a punishment of tbe few who. as exceptions, may prove unworthy of this ic If freedom, we do not think

all should be included. We have yet faith in the popular muses, the utmost faith in their wisdom and prudence. This lathe reason why we are Democrats, and why, as such, we are opposed to local option or prohibition In any of its forms. Both these dogmas are founded upon distrust of the people, upon a want of faith in tell -government. The mischievous fallacy consists in applvlnp the' powers of government to a subject matter with which it has no concern. Let the township regulate es it does its roads and highways, schools and drains, Trustees and Supervisors, leaving every freeman in the exercise of the right of life and liberty to eat, JLriak and be merry ; punishing him only for the abuse of such rights. The News Journal or Journal-News has from time to advocated local option. Yet we apprehend that the very able and accomplished conductors of our donble-headed morning and evening contemporary would deem it very strange, if, by law, the majority in the ward or township or district where it is published should have the right to dictate the character or conduct of its columns. There would be then a loud cry for freedom liberty; and a shrieking gasp against such intolerance and high-handed prescription. Yet, a censorship of the press so established, by the will of the majority in the locality where publication Is made, would be no greater violation of civil, inalienable rights than the operation of that local option they are pleased to advocate. Under euch a censorehip, continued and enforced for a few days, the News-Journal would at last realize that there are some rights of persons and of property which even the vote or the petition or the voice of the majority can not justly annihilate. The last trial of local option in Indiana was under the Baxter bill repealed just ten years ago as an utter failure. It was one of the distinguishing features of that measure that the option was expressed by petition. And we do not think the State ever witnessed among its people so much of hypocrisy, double-dealing, low, base aad pitiful chicane, contemptible evasions and lying protests as were then practiced in the promotion, defeat or manufacture of these petitions. The whole comomultv was sodden with deceit and mischiefs innumerable by this one evil process. It was worse, if anything could be wjrse. tha-i tie direct corruption and iniquity ot the Miine law. We have no desire to see any repetition of the experiment in any shape. The Baxter law- Qxed 0 S clock as the time of closing, a time which Governor Hendricks characterized as inconveniently early. The present law fixes 11 o'clock as the time. We are no sticklers about the time. It ia a matter only of regulation. But we remind those who seem inclined to dwell upon this detail that tbey may go further and fare worse. The time now fixed was the remit. of a laborious and long considered c-mproniiss between opposing opinions. The cla ise as enacted passed by a very close rate. What the present Legislature may do we know not, bat with all respect we deprecate im pm lent action which may lead to an agitation endangering even the opportunity now given. Lst us. tbe friendi of personal liberty, not divide too bitterly upon lesser points. Fanaticism is net yet powerless It i alert, watctnl. Let those on the side of reason and common sense avoid as far as may be the paril of division and dissension.

GOVERNOR PORTER AND THE INVESTIGATION. ' That was a small piece of business transacted by Governor Porter when volunteering the recommendation that the "Ate Treasurer be investigated. If he may not be justly accused of having been actuated solely by personal pique or political chicane, then must we conclude that his sense of otS:';al duty has toned up since the retirement of the last Republican State Treasurer, whom Governor Porter is supposed to have known tobe depositing out money in just the manner for which he has now seen fit to arraign our Democratic Treasurer. We have not seen that Governor Porter included that Republican Treasurer In his stricture, and therefore must hold that petty and malicious partisanship prompted his recommendation, and that its purpose was to incite prejudice against a brother Scate officer for no better reason than tbat the latter is not ot his party. For a suggestion prompted by such a spirit we, in common with manly men of whatever party, have inexpressible contempt. But, admitting our oulemp. oT ths motive, the fact remains that it was in a regular Slate paper and with all the emphasis of coming from a chief executive and the 1 "tier of the opposition party that the icuputitlon was cast on the Democratio Treasurer of State. We must recognize, too, that th? matter has been taken cogni.ince ot by la Legislature, and has become a topic o thought and discussion throughout tin State. A vicious partisan inuendo has been agitated into a cross libo', rendo.-ing it imperative that it bs noticed and relate 1. The most insignificant pin scratch may by Irritation become a viruVat sore, dsnnnding not only attention, but summery treat me it. Entertaining, then, only disrespect for thanimus of this attack on Treuarer Cjon?r, and entire confidence in him, we yet holl that his own interest, the good ot our party and the fair fame of our State call for an unequivocal refutation of the impllei charges against hint, aid that this can only be done through a straightforward investigation. No honest man and no honest pirty cm be damaged by investigation. It beco nej Mr. Cooper and his party now to make aa open, manly showing in this matter, f res from the slightest appearance ot subterfuge or trifling. As between Governor Tarter and Treasurer Cooper we were on the litter's side. But now the matter bis been carried away outside ot a mere personal issue. To "tell the truth" is both policy and dnty now, and when that is done and Mr. Cooper steps out into the sunshine challeng ing the gaze of all men, his enemies will be discomfitted. It is a sober fact t!ja. in this ray and no oilirr can the evil design of the late Governor be shorn of all harm to our worthy State Treasurer an-l to tie IJj ro racy, and be made to recoil with damping efifcet upon Governor Parter aal his ptrty The Representatives who ae yet to vate on this question surely realize that oir party can not at any time afford to carry needless weight. Eipecially should we reco rrize this when in our nixt election it is the

earnest desirs of every Democrat in Indiana

to relieve General Harrison of the Ssnatorhip. But we will assume a heavy weight if we permit the Republicans to make the issue teat a Democratic Legislature refused to in quire into the affairs ot the Treasury for the sole reason that a fellow Demosrat was the Treat urer. Such an issue would be fraught with daoger. It would strongly tend to the election of a Legislature pledged to examine the Treasury, and that Legislature would, la the same breath, re-elect General Harrisou United S'.a'.es Senator. There is not a single Republican not even Albert G. l'jrter clamoring or voting for th s investigation who does not in his heart hops tbat the Democratic majority will refuse it. Not one of them believes there is a dollar missing from ths Treasury. They are hoping the Democrats may be stu pid enough to give them, by such refusal, about all the benefits they could enjoy from a real Democratic default. We enter a respectful but earnest protest against the House of Representatives allowing the hopes of the Republicans to be realized. We trust the Democratio members will have the wisdom to take np the resolutions adopted in the Senate bf so round a majority and pass them by a vole which will show to the public that the Democratic majority in the Legislature is entirely de serving the confidence of the people. Even admitting, for the sake of the argument, that irregu'arities should ba found in the Treasurer's affairs (which we do not believe) Dem ocrats and not Republicans should have the credit of their exposure. Bat holding that the Treasury is in shape to bear fullest investigation, tae majority owes it to the party to show to the public that suoh is its condi tion. MORE INVESTIGATION NEEDFUL. The Republican press of this city is always very vigilant in demanding a full observance of the very letter of the law when its ad ministration is in Democratic hands, but when there is a failure to comply with the law on the part of Republican authority the Republican press is as dumb as a hitchingpost. Section 17, Article V., ot the Constitution, defining the powers and duties of the Gov ernor in the exercise of the pardoning power, says: "He shal I have power to grant reprieves. commutalions and pardons; to remit fiaes and forfeitures under such regulation a may be prescribed by 1 w, and shall report '0 the General Aeaemblv at its next meeting ach case of reprieve, commutation or pardon granted, and also the names of all per ions in whose favor remission of fiaes aid forfeitures shall have been made, and the ieveral amounts remitted." The Constitution thus provides in order that the Legislature may know and the people be informed as to whatthe Governor ha done in the exercise of executive clemency Baker, Hendricks, Williams and Gray, in fact, every Governor eince the adoption of the Constitution, have complied with this plain reqairement of the organio act of the Sate oy transmitting to ihe Legislature a f?ll report and calling attention to the ae in 'heir messages, but Governor Porter has !gnored this plain and imperative reqilrecnentof the Constitution, has made no report to the Legiolature, and the people of tbe State are in ignorance ot what he has done in the exercise cf executive clemency. RETIREMEN OP GOVERNOR PORTER The retirement of the late Republican Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth has occurred with somewhat of eclat and satisfaction, The complimentary vote ot his party in the General Assembly must have been to him and his friends a gratification of no small moment and at the same tine a mild but very perceptible rebuke of the aspirations of Mr. Calkins to the recognized oceition of leadership in the State. At the tame time we notice with real pleasure the announcement of the purpose of the distinguished ex-Ch!ef Magistrate to devote himself, after a brief period of rest from Qtlicial labors, to tne work of writing the history of Indiana. Such an undertaking justly deserves the very general interest and attention which its announcement has already attracted. Many books have been written upon this same subjecr, but they will be found rather to contain the materials for history than history itself. The annals of our State do not lack the interest of even a very remote antiquity. The first Indianiaus were doubtless the mound builders; and any account of our country will, therefore, recur in the first chapter, at least, to the very remarkable monuments of that race, still existing in our midst, constructed in that night ot time which antedates the Appian Way or the foundation of Pompeii or Herculaneum. Theee ancient stractures, such as that system of earthworks ecen now iu Madison County near Pendleton, are as fully worthy of histor'c notice and commemoration as the "castled crag of Drachenfela," or any citadel, temple or tower of tbe mediaeval, G recian or Roman world. Nor would such a work be comp'ete without a sketch of the various Indian tribes who inhabited this territory at the time of the earliest expeditions of the French Explorers thereto, upou their route by the way of the Wabash from the great lakes to the gulf. A relation of tbe habits and costoms, some ootice of the languages, government and ceremonial of tne Delawares, the Shawnees, tb Miamis and the Pottowattomies must worlbiJy lind place in such a narrative, and would bring down the course of events to what are called historic times. We regret to note that the work is to end with the close of the administration, as it is called, of Governor Morton. We think such sn ending premature, and, besides, we think we see in it a disposition to mark the different Gubernatorial administrations as ems of distinct importance in the annals of the State, whereas nothing could be farther therefrom. The building and completion of the first turnpike, of the first canal, of the first or last line of railway In our borders, or of the successive telegraphic posts and stations either of these is of infinitely more moment than the data of any ioaugnral or the contents of any m eseage. Theie re the real Olvmp'ads of progress. Of all earthly rulers the Governor of Indiana is, as auch, the most Insignificant. Bis luiioence upon the Legislature, noon tbe action of the commonwealth, Is, and seeius by constitutional order, designed to be nothing. The power and duties of the oOice are almost wholly ministerial and

formal: the duties of the position may be romething more, but are only occasional and ephemeral iu their character.

The writer of our history will have and must use the opportunity cf fully detailing the account of our educational system first foreshadowed in the ordinance ot '87, and finally developed In the magnificent system of common schools now in practical operation in all our bordera. He must by consequence also note the rise and progress of legislation and the course of jurisprudence from Iti first feeble origin in the fortresses of the early French commandants in the wilderness, through the revision of both Constitution and statutes, until the formation of a body of laws now in force on a great variety of subjects, influencing and being in turn acted upon by the necawities nd requirements of popular life. He must carefully recount the course alio of religious action and sentiment, beginning with that devout worship of the sun, which by the researches of arcb.f logitts is ascertained to have been the cult of our antique predecessors, the mound builders, followed by that pure theism, distinguished with barbarous rites, the belief in the existence of a Great Spirit, the creed of Tecumseh and his tribes; and that child-like faith in the mdestractability of life, which taught him "To tblnk admitted to that equal sky, His faithful doi would bear him company." And these will be followed by an account of tbe introduction of the Divine Gospel of our Svtor ; first by those of the Society of Jesus, who left the comforts and refinements of civilization under the auspices of the trcbt splendid Court in Europe to find their nomes and graves in the far West in whose hhnds the missal and the crucifix preceded by many ages the hymn-book and the discipline of our sometime called religious pioneers. For the historian must be impartial. 'Tis as necessary a qualification tor him as the most precise knowledge of orthography of the rules of English composition. Such a narrative will not bs wanting in passages of more than historic interest It will, indeed, abound in accounts of battles and Etigce "CI bair-breai th taeepo in tbe imminent deadly brtach," A.nd in all the stirring episodes if frontier valor and warfare, which may deight the ear of future De&demotias. Tbe annalist may watch with Clark iu the uoresses around the old pot: may lie beeegured behind the stockades ot Fort Hr'ifaou; n?ay stand upon tne bnllet-s vept ilateau of the Tippecanoe -awaiting ia tbr lark the assault of the treacherous Shawnee These things will be recounted, for the aistorian must be a man of imagination that thrnthful frort of fancy which may lepict aa if he aa w and heard them, the dangers of a perilous past. A bright and glorious chapter will be the review of the growth of agriculture among us, from the days of the flail and the threshing floor, the scythe and sickle, to th era of the self binder, the tresher and mower, when the steim whistle, that resonant tocsin of modern progress follows he footsteps of the husbandaua to his remotest fallows. But we dismiss the historian to his task with our best wishes for his highest success in so laudab'.e an undertaking. We have not written these remarks as suggestions e are not sure tbat they would or ought to be received as such even if so offered. We think we have noticed in the writer referred to a disposition to resile at any observation which be may deem to fall outside of the beaten path of platitude or prosody. We do not wish to intrude upon the mysteries of authorship or the occult soience of the amanuensis Indeed, we very much doubt whether we have a jast appreciation of the spirit of that genius which bows at a comma, kneels at a semicolon, and prostrates itself at full length with abject humility before the majestic colon. We trust that we entertain a due respect for the polished art of punctuation, but of all its points that which we chiefly adore is the pericd. Whereiore, we c'ose. An article in the Ugeskrift for Ledger describes Dr. Vilandt's successful use of oil of turpentine in the treatment and prophylaxis of diphtheria and kindred diseases. He states that he has never seen any of these diseases spread from a sick child to other members of the family when this remedy was employed. His method is to pour lrom twenty to forty drops of a mixture of equal parts of turpentine and carbolic acid into a kettle of water, wiiieh is kept simmering over a slow fire, eo that the air cf tbe sick-room is constantly impregnated with the odor of these two subitances. A favorable mil uence is alo exerted by this means upon tbe exudation in diphttei 'a. although it is not at all curative of the disease. At Carter-mile, Ga., in a limestone quarry there was recently found, at a depth of sixty feet, a human jawbone of great size, in a perfect state of reservation. It was full of teeth, all of b:ch were sound. A few feet lower down numerous human bone were fou&d as well as the bones ot a cave baar.

Catarrh is best described as a sasilcold. and wHI if neglected become chronic, and thus by extending to the throat and lungs prove dapgarous. It is not onl f very offensive and annoying, but it enfeebles, and if not attended to in time, destroys the mucous lining of the nasal cavities. Pond's Extract is a specific remedy for this disease. Its application gives Immediate relief by removing all objectionable matter from the obstructed passages. For cases of particularly severe or chronic catarrh we recommend the UEe of Pond's Eitract Catarrh Remedy, in wbich the medicinal virtues of Pond's Exrract are combined with other well known irpmt'frit?, thus increasing the 6oothin? and 1 eaiing qualities of the remedy.

T. Dr. Kennedy, Bondout, N. T. : Dear Sib My (languor wrs aSIctol with a severe crowtb of Fangtis. To remove It we bsd resorted to almost every remedy and r-on united the mof-t promluent turgeoas and physicians Dr. , of Troy, sail that a surg'Ctl operation wcuid be uicwwry, but fearing fatal result I hesitated. Some of the physicians claimed mat it wa caused by one thine and acme by ano.her. Tbe Funsus was prominent and disfigured her look. Having heard Ol Dr. Kennedy' KAvohrri Bi.Mr.r-T welkin so thoroughly on the blood 1 determined to try it. to see i( thi meaieine could do what doctors bad failed to do and aurteons had hardly dared to undertake. 1 can si) la truth that tbe result of this trial was the complete cure of my daughter of this dreadful malady. Dr. Kennedy' Favorite kemedy alone effected it. We used nothing else for other things had completely failed. My daughter to-dav enjoys vigorous health, and to Favorite Remedy alone is the credit due. My wife also wan very poor in health, due to liver difficulty with which tthetiad suffered a Ions time until ehe became very much reduced in flesh. A trial of Kennedy' Favorite Remedy ba resulted in tho complete restoration of her health, whicli she had uot enjoyed for years. 6te bad gained in fleh and strength, and thus wcured perfect bea'.lh. and thlfi lS Dl'E ENTIRELY TO DR. kEMSEDY'8 FaVO&ITS Rexedy. Ai for myself, being engaged in the grocery and commission business, which make it necessary for me to test tne quality of different articles, like butter, etc, my sene of taueaal my stomach were seriously injured. Everything seemed to nauseate me, and fearful of dyspenia in its most severe form. 1 tried Dr. Kennedy's Favorttk Remid y. The first bottle afforded immediate relief, and from that dav to this I can say that Favorite Remedy has restored me to perfect health. These are facts which I claim prove that Dr. Kennedy' favorite Remedy i the best nv dtcine in the world for those afflicted with taa above difficulties. If any one in the city of Troy doubts the truth of these statements let him come to me and I will prove them. I have rxtmmanded Favorite Remedy to hundreds and with tbe same good results.
