HAMILTON, ONO, NOV. ~, lo0o.
Dr.. RopAcK-Dear Sir: / have read in the
newspapers many accounts of cures effected by
your scandinavian Remedies. but l consider my
own case at least as interesting and as marvel
Gus as any of them. So far as you are con-
cerned, one testimonial more or less is of little
consequences. Your fame is established, and
my statement cannot add to your celebrity.
But for the benefit of my fellow creatures, |
desire to make knownthe facts. When called
upon you, at the instance of q dear friend, on
! the Dist of March last, had been nine years a
sufferer from catarTh. The irritation Of the
nerves and membrane of the head was so in
tense that sometimes it almost drove me crazy.
l could not sleep, and was never free from I'M
| pleasant sensations. At various times five
different physicians had attended me, each one
treated me in his own way, but none Of them
did me any good. 1 despaired of ever seeing
another well day, and when | called at your
consultation rooms, had very little hope of re-
lief. By your advise. l entered Immediately
upon n regular course Of your Scandinavian
Blood Purifier and Blood Pills. ! was encour-
aged by the cheerful, hopeful way in which
you spoke, and I resolved STRICTLY to follow
your direction. In less than a week, all the
worst symptoms of my complaint began to
take a milder form, and so continued to inn
prove from week to week until, at the end OF
three months, my head was entirely relieved,
and every trace Of the catarrh had left me.
Still, however, I continued to take the RENE
dies for nearly six weeks longer, because ]
found they were building up my strength and
terrifying my constitution. Six mouths have
passed since the cure was finished, and l have
had no sign of q relapse. ! should be glad to
see this letter, or the substance of it, in print
for the guidance of others.
Yours, with heartfelt gratitude,
Mrs. AUGUSTUS CoOCH.

Preble County Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1857-1859, 1857-02-12
A Grcnt shame.

Preble County, in this State, boasts of
having 1876 Democrats in her borders,
100 more than voted in this county at
the last election; yet they have permitted
that excellent Democratic paper the
''Eaton Democrat," to die out in her
midst for want of support.
In such counties as Preblc and Har-
rison, where the opposition has large
majority, Democratic paper to be sus-
tanned as it should be, must have the
support of every Democrat in the county,
or it cannot live The Democracy of
this county patronize the ''ISentinet' tol-
crcble well; but to make it more eff
cient, and keep it from being a losing
concern; it must have increased patron
age. Besides, erery man aoho takes tho
paper must pay for 1t. Delinquent sub
scribers are the chief cause of the death
of all newspapers that die out; and VIC
do not wish the Sentinel to fare that
fate. The Democracy of this county
must do more for their county paper
than they yet have done, if they desire
it to be prosperous, efficient, and its ed
itor keep from embarrassment iSenti-
mel, RdrenG O.

What They Have Said of Us.

Upon the demise of the "Eaton Dem
ocrat," we received very many hattering
notices from our contemporaries, as also
upon its resuscitation, which it has been
our aim to deserve. Our course has
been at least consistent, and firmly be-
lieving the principles we advocate to be
founded upon truth, and that the right
is always available, we shall neither
swerve to the right nor the left, in the
work before us. We thank our friends
for the kindness exhibited in the follow
ing extracts, which we have selected
from the number met with in our ex-
changes. There are many wholesome
truths contained In some of these arti-
cles, and they should be pressed deeply
upon the hearts of the Democrats of
Preble, and move them to a sense of
their duty. 1t is for this that we have
selected them, and wish that they could
be read to each and every Democrat in
the county, who has neglected to sup
port his own County paper:

The Eaton Democrat Suspended

We are sorry to see, by the last num-
Der of the Eaton Democrat, that Mr..
Gould, the editor of that sterling paper,
has been compelled to suspend its publ
cation for want of support and patron
age The fact is by no means credita-
BILE to the Democracy of Preble, and
they will in future have much cause to
regret their pecuniary negligence and
Indifference. Mr.. Gould published a
good paper and rendered much service tc
their organization, and he ought to have
been sustained.
There is no sin of which our politica,
friends are so justly chargeable with a:
neglect and Indifference to their press
and, unless it is reformed, they will
reap the bitter fruits in defeat and disas,
ter.
They could and ought to learn some
useful lessons from the opposition in thai
respect, who boast with much truth o1
the immense number of copies of jour
nails favorable to them that are put il
circulation. Unless our friends emu
late them, they will lose their present
predominance in the nation.-Cn. Dai

Discontinued.

We are sorry to see that our former
townsman, Mr.. L. G. GOULD, Editor and
Proprietor of the Eaton (Ohio) Demo-
crat, has been compelled, for want of
adequate support, to discontinue the
publication of that paper. Preble coun-
ty, in which the ''Democrat" was printed,
has a democratic vote of nearly sixteen
hundred, and it is somewhat singular
that out of so large number but five
hundred subscribers could be obtained
many of whom contributed nothing to-
ward the support of the paper. The
Democrat was a most excellent paper,
ably conducted, and during the late Pre-
sidential canvass did yeoman service for
the Democratic cause. We sincerely
sympathize with Mr.. GOULD in his pc
cuniary loss, and trust he may soon fine
a location whose people are more dis
eliminating, and where his industry anc
ability will be better appreciated anc
more literally paid for.-Carlisle (Pa.

PrcbIc- County Democrat.

We are glad to find our sprightly and
energetic cotempary, L. G.. Gould, Esq,
revived in spirit and before the public.
Some weeks since he gave up the publ
cation of the Eaton DemOcrat; but, since,
the Democrats of Preble county, having
come to their senses, on the subject of
newspaper in their county, have came
up to their rescue, and Mr.. Gould is
again going along with his paper with
renewed courage. He has changed the
title of his paper to "Preble County
Democrat" We trust our worthy friend
will meet with that encouragement he SO
we'll merits He makes an excellent
paper, and it would be shame to have
it die out for want of patronage.-Cter-

Democracy of Ohio awake to a sense OF
one ofthe greatest delinquencies in their
party Organization, and at once remedy
the evil The history of local, and state,
and national politics, bears US out in the
position we have assumed. Indeed, in
Business, Theology, the Arts and Sci
ences, the power of the Press is ac-
knowledged as the Archimedian lever,
while in Politics, it is Atlas upon
whose shoulders rests the world. If
those interested in the success of Demos.
cratic men and measures will for mo-
ment reflect upon this subject, the truth
will force itself upon their minds with
irresistible power. It is unfortunate for
the Democratic party in Ohio, that their
organs are not better sustained. Since
the Presidential election, tlco Democratic
papers have suspended operations, and
we fear, unless different course is pur-
sued in the future, from what has char
acterized the past, many others will fol-

you will give greater efficiency to his eff

speak understandingly and knowingly.
There is no more unpleasant task de-

have to be endured by newspaper rca-
ders, if all who were subscribers would

course would impart life and vitality to
