Watts Nervous AntidOte.
A Certificate of Cure that Every One
Should Read.
SAN FRAScIsco, August 1st, 1864.

San Francisco, August 1st 1854.
MEssRs. CRANE & BRIGHAM, Druggists-corner OF
Clay and Front streets:
Gentlemen Il notice an advertisement in the
newspapers that you are the agents for Watts Nerv-
Gus Antdoe, and being satisfied that there are ma.
ny persons in this State that are suffering with
Rheumatism, that would gladly avail themse."As Of
any preparation that would cure them, thought it
duty owed to suffering humanity to make state
ment of my case.
Some eight years since, while working upon a rail-
road, strained my back severely in attempting to
lift a car wheel, being in prOfuse perspiration at
the time, and being compelled to go home without
coat, took severe cold, which eventually brought
on the Rheumatism, which kept me confined to the
house large portion OF the time for several years
consulted most Of the leading physicians in Sacra-
mento and in this city, visited the Warm Springs at
Alameda, tried the various compounds that are adj
vertised for this terrible disease, but all to no pur
pose My complaint instead OF getting better, grew
worse; NY LEFT leg became partially parayzed, the
pains in the back and chest became intense, that
I often wished myself dead. could not sleep more
than two hours OF night, my appetite failed me-
and grew emaciated day after day, until finally
made up my mind that my troubles would soon he
over While wabbling down Clay street one day, in
1862, met a gentleman with whom / was formerly
acquainted. He enquired the nature Of nv disease,
and upon being informed, he stated that he had
some years before been similarly affected in Wash
ington, and that he had cured himself by the use OF
Watts Nervous Antidote. This was the first time
that heard Of the medicine, and determined tc
before had used two Of them could sleep all night
my appetite had improved, and felt considerably
easier. Encouraged by the apparent Improvement,
deter 1ined to persevere In the use OF it, as 1t was
my only hope" did So and used It at intervals
or two years. found its effect slow, but very sure
until now, am entirely cured / have not had an
attack Of Rheumatism for six months. My back is
a. strong and as well ever, my leg is as good as
new, my appetite altogether too good for my pocket,
and am physically as strong as l was zen years
ago, and feel able to whip any man Of my size and
age in the city.
Hoping that this plain statement Of my sufferings
and ultimate cure will fall under the eye OF one
similarly afflicted, that he may be benefited BY my
experience, ! am, gentlemen,
Your most obedient.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Resolved, That in the future, as in the past, We
will adhere with answering fidelity to the Union,
under the Constitution, as the only solid founda-
tion of our strength, security and happiness as q
people. ard as the frame work of government
equally conducive to the welfare and pros of
all the States, both Northern and Southern.
Resolved, That this Convention does explic
lilly declare, as the sense of the American people
that after four years of failure to restore the
Union by the experiment Of war, during which,
under the pretense Of the military necessity of a
war power, higher than the Constitution ITSELF
that instrument has been disregarded in every
part. and public liberty and private rights trodden
down, and the material prosperity of the country
essentially impaired Justice, humanity, and liber
ty, and the public welfare demand that imme dia
efforts be made to bring about cessation of hos
tllitles, with view Of an ultimate Convention of
the States, or other peaceable means to end it,
that at the earliest practicable moment peace may
be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of
the States.
8. Resolved, The direct interference OF the
military authorities of the United States in the
recent elections held In Kentucky, Maryland, Mis-
sourl and Delaware, was a shameful violation of
the Constitution and a repetition of such acts In
the approaching election will be held to be revolu-
tionaTy, and resisted with all the means and pow
er under our control.
4. Resolved, That the aim and object of the
Democratic party is to preserve the Federal Union
and the rights Of the States unimpared, and they
hereby declare that they consider the Administra-
tiOn'S usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous
version of the civil by military laws in States not
in insurrection the arbitrary military arrest,
imprisonment, trial and sentence of American
citizens in States where civil law exists in fun
force the suppression of freedom of speech and
Of the$fcss the denial Of the right of asylum !;
theI3Rwed disregard Of State rights the employ :
mehsA unusual test oaths, and Interference with
and denial Of the right Of the people to bear arms,
rs calculated to prevent the restoration of the
Mon. and the pcrpetuation of a Government de-
irving ITS just powers from the consent Of the
governed.
D. Resolved, That the shameful disregard by
the Administration Of its duty in respect to our
fellow citizens who are now and long have been
prisoners ef war, and in suffering condition,
deserves the severest reprobation, on the score
alike Of public and common humanity.
o. Resolved, That the sympathy of the Demo
cratic party is heartily and earnestly extended to
the soldiers of our army, who now are ali have
been in the field, under the flag of their country
and in the event of our attaining power, they will
receive all the care, protection and regard that
as brave soldiers of the Republic, they have no.
bly, earned.

HEADAcHE.-A very curious method of
reducing the intense headache expert
enced by fever patients has been lately
pointed out by N. Guyon. 1t consists
simply in pressure extended over the in
tergument covering the temporal arteries
It was discovered quite accidentally in
feeling the temples rather than the wrists,
in order to ascertain the frequency of the
pulse. Whilst the physician compressed
the vessel the patient exclaimed, "Comme
vous me soulayz," and thus indicated the
result produced by diminishing the sup
ply of blood to the suface of the Uranium.
