OUR MASS MEETING.

The Mass Meeting here was COM
plete success. The crowd was one of the
largest that has assembled here for years,
notwithstanding the unfavorable circum-
stances. The harvesting was not yet COM
pleted, the notice was very Short and
there was no excitement existing; consid-
ering all these things the crowd was q
great deal larger than could have been
expected.
The north west came in procession,
bearing banners and accompanied by two
brass bands They marched through the
principal streets. in fine order, while the
bands diseoursed national airs. If the
rest of the county had done as well as the
north west, we would have had such a
crowd as never before assembledin Woods
The speakers, Mr.. PAYNE and Mr..
LYrLE were both here. Mr.. PAYNE spoke
arst. We will no. attempt a sketch of
his speech, It is enough to say that by
the time it was concluded every Demo-
crat felt proud Of his Democracy and
proud of his nominees.
Mr.. LYTLE, owing to the distance to
b travelled in order to reach the next
meeting, was compelled to be exceedingly
brief-not speaking more than Is or 20
minutss. Of course in SO little time he
could not do himself justice. 1t was a
matter Of regret that such was the case
for he gave abundant evidence that he
possessed ability. Every Democrat re-
tluued to his home feeling that he was
amply rewarded for coming to the meet
ing.

DIR. Roback in Cincinnati.

The most brilliant success seems to have at
tended the practice of this celebrated Swedish
Professor since his residence in Cincinnati.
The most desperate cases of dyspepsia, scrofula
liver complaint, rheumatism, and cough are re-
ported by the sufferers themselves to have
yielded to his Scandinavian Remedies These
medicines. it appears, act chemically upon the
blood purging it from the elements of disease,
and curing an infinite variety of disorders, by
cutting off the supply of morbid matter which
forms their basis. Testimony to this effect,
which cannot be impeached, is profered to all
who are hard of belief. See Advertisement.

HAMILTON. Ohio, Nov. 10, 1885,
Ds. RoBAcK-Dsar Sir: have read in the,
newspapers many accounts of cures effected by
your Scandavian Remedies, but consider my
own case at least as interesting and as marvel
Gus as any of them. So far as you are ccp-
oerned, one testimonial more or less is of little
consequences. Your fame is established, and
my statement cannot add to your celshrit7.S
But for the benefit of my fellow creatures, T.
desire to make known the facts When called
upon You, at the instance of dear friend on
the 2lst of March last i had been nine ;ears q
sufferer from catarrh. The irritation of the :
nerves and membrane of the head. was SO iu-S
tense that sometimes it almost drove me crazy.e
could not sleep, and WAS never free from nm. ;
pleasant sensations. At various times i've
different physicians had attended me, each one
treated me in his own way, but none of them
did me any good. l despaired of ever seeing :
another well day, and when called at your
consultation rooms, had very little hope OF re- !
lief. By your advise, / entered immediately
upon regular course of your Scandinavian
Blood Purifier and Blood Pills. / was enconr-
aged by the cheerful, hopeful way in which
You spoke, and resolved stcictly to follow
your direction. In less than a.week all the
worst symptoms of my complaint began 10
take milder form, and SO continued to i'm
prove from week to week until, at the end Of
three ihoh,hs, my head Was entirely relieved,
and every trace of the catarrh had left me-.
Sthl, however / continued to take the rsme-
dies for nearly six weeks longer, because
found they Were building up my strength and ).
fortifying my constitution. Six months have
passed since the cure was finished, and / have
had no sign of a relapse. should be glad to :
see this letter, or the substance of it,rin print
for the guidance of others. - ,.sss.
Yours, with heartfelt gratitude, ss.
