troduced into this country about one year since,
IN the city or New York, where they were sub
Jected TO the most rigorous and thorough trial in
every hospital in that city, by Professors Valentine
Mott, Van Burcl, Post, Carnochan, who at once
discovered that they possessed strange and tron-
derul power in almost instantly relieving all ner-
Vous pain: rhererer located and so satisfactory
were the results produced in every case that their
opinions were published through The public press.
and thousands have been induced to try them, and
in no single instance have they failed to perform
all we advertise to do. They are patented in This
country, France, England, Germany, Austria and
Belgium, and are in use in every hospital in Eu-
rope, and also in every hospital in n. Y City.
No other Medical Agent can produce so MANY
well ,4uthenticatei Certificates of cure-not only
from intelligent patients, hut from Scientific PHI
SSicGns, and their sale, wherever introduced, has
been unparalleled.
The chains are so constructed as TO be worn

First Co iprsssiaaal District OF roxa

Mr. Clark designs to contest the election
of Mr. HaA Mr.. Clark has been to the
Secretary's office and found before he had
proceeded very far with an examination
over five hundred votes not given for Au-
gustus Hall, which were nevertheless,
counted for him. These votes were given
for Augustus c. Hall, and A. c. Hail.
Whether they were meant Tor him or not,
no one can say except those who cast
them, but certain it is they are not tairfallg
his, and the officers who gave the certificate
Of election to him did what they had no bu
siness to do. They had no Discretionary
power in the premises Chic. Tfib.
We dislike such quibbling; it is too much
ike the game the Democrats are accustom-
ed to play. Wings being unused to il may
involve themselves in difficulty. We do moi
know how it may be with Mr.. Clark, but il
our estimation, victory thus obtained
would be more ingloriou, than the defeat.

Oyster Supper,

The following preamble and resolutions,
passed at meeting o. thefriends OF the pres
ont executive State Administration of tbs
State OF Iowa, in the General Assembly
held at the Capitol, on the sth day of Jan
nary, 1885," are pretty sarcastic and if not
begging the question seem very much like
begging the oysters
Whereas. 1t has been the custom hereto
fore Of the Democratic party to partake Of
an oyster supper and other Refreshments
given by the Senator and Judges elect;
and
Where's, we look upon the custom, i
continued, as bad in its tendency and de-
nioralizing in It's nature; and
Whereas, we believe the election o. the
present Senator and Judges was achieved
upon great political and moral principles;
therefore,
Rssolpcs, That the Senators and Judge:
be requested not to give an oyster supper
or any other refreshments on the present
occasion.
