LFeN'S PERIODICAL DROPS
THE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY
FOR IRREGULARITIES.


l have tested these drops in my own practice
over ten years, and DO not hesitate to say, that
nothing has yet been developed by medical re-
search, that acts so powerfully, positively, and
harmlessly, in cases of female irregularity, as
does this medicine. In all recent eases it never
fails, while thousands who have been long suffer
ers, indebted to it for the boon of health to-
day.
Although so powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may be used at all times
except when specially forbidden in the directions
They have been extensively employed by emf
nent physicians in France and England, as well
as in my own practice, over ten yeais, and have
yet to hear of the first instance of failure
could give you testimonials of their efficacy from
ladies all over the northern and western states,
were they not in their nature private. Over I0O :

fitted. am well aware test remedy SO potent

purpose but trust that where one bottle is TINS
used, ten may fall into the hands of really needy
sufferers.

and which has been brought to perfection regard
less of time, labor expense, is now conf

the best sewing machine in existence
The machine in question is simple, compact,
durable and beautiful. It is quiet, ight-running
and capable of performing a range and variety of
work never before attempted upon single ma
chine, using either silk, twist, linen cotton
thread, and sewing with equal facility the very
finest and coarsest of materials, and anythin be-
tween the two extremes, in the most beautiful and
substantial manner. Its attachments for hem

ling, trimming, binding, &C., are novel and prac-
teal, and have been invented and adjusted espe-
cially for this machine.
New designs Of the unique, useful and popular

machines manufactured by this company have
been prepared for enclosing the new mashine.-

such as black walnut, mahogany, rosewood, and

Ing and carried on st time OF most un.
paralleled party excitement, when the
masses OF the dominant party were
lashed into wild frenzy and led to be-
lieve that the President was guilty OF
treason when thousands all over the
land thought that 1t would be right
eous act to get him out OF the way by
any means, fair or foul, and when he has
been hunted down by partisan malice as
no man was, ever hunted down before,
1t Is really wonderful that so little has
been eliclted that tends In the slightest
TO tarnish the fair fame OF the Presi.
dent. The American people ought to
congratulate themselves, for the sake OF
the reputation OF their country, that
the failure has been so emphatic and
complete.
In what we have said OF the character
OF the evidence taken before us, and the
means used to procure ii, we must not
be understood as rejecting upon the
sctlon OF the committee, or any member
thereof Such an Interpretation OF our
remarks would do great injustice to US
and to them. Whether such latitude
would have been given in the examina-
ton OF witnesses we will not now inquire.
In an examination before a committee 1t
should be difficult, and, perhaps, impos-
sible, to contlne the evidence 10 such as
would be allowed admissible before
court OF justice. Indeed it may be
questioned whether it would be proper
so to restrict it and as perhaps better
even for the President that those who
were managing the prosecution for the
outside, were permitted to present any
thing that they might call corroborative
evidence as the world can thus the bet
ter comprehend how utterly destitute Of
foundation is all this clamor that has
been raised against him. The first wit
ness examined was General Lafayette G.
Baker, late chief of the detective police,
aud although examined on oath time
and again, and on various occasions, it
Is doubtful whether he has in any one
thing told the truth even by accident.
In every important statement he is con-
tradlcteu by witnesses of unQuestionable
credibility, and there can be no dour, 4

CITY SoNINArIoNs.
The Republican party have re-nomi.
mated for the office of Mayor, the present
incumbent Mayor Norcross. Mr.. Nor
cross has not yet replied to the commit
tee appointed to wait on him. Without
attempting to dictate, it is his desire to
know who are to be his associates, in
order that what he does in his Official
capacity can be done in q manner credit
able to the best interests OF the city, or
in other words, he desires to Judge
whether the gentlemen likely to be
elected, are men with whom he can enter
upon the discharge OF duties that involve
responsibility, which must be mutually
shared, and which to be properly exc
cuted requires cordial cooperation OF
both Mayor and Aldermen. The position
taken by Mr.. Norcross is one, which IL
looked upon Alright, must convince any
one Of its Importance. 1t shows that
there is still honesty left in the political
arena, and that there is one with frm-
ness sufficient to stand out upon his con-
victions OF right and duty. ...
DR.. N. B. Shurtletf is talked of by the
opposition as their candidate. He is
well-known as 8 gentleman Of culture
and high literary attainments, and would
70 doubt make good Mayor if elected.

THE LATB GOV. ANDREW.
The Boston Medical Journal has an
appreciative notice in its last issue on
this wellbeloved and genial Governor.
In speaking Of his sudden death, it says,
I" the post mortem examination OF the
deceased revealed an apopletic effusion
more extensive than had ever come un-
der the observation of even the most
eminent pathologist." Though the
Governor was predisposed to the disease
there is no doubt but what he might
have lived for years had 1t not have been
for the overwhelming amount OF work
required OF him during the war, in
which it has been said that he did the
mental work Of four men," He was
truly what may be called hard worker,
ard the position which Massachusetts
holds to-day for her patriotism and
promptness, is due largely to the efforts

THE LATIN SCHOOL.
To perpetuate the memory and CON-
memorate the deeds OF noble daring of
the heroes Of this institution, it is pro-
posed to place upon the walls of the

have fallen, that their presence though
upon canvass, may inspire the youthful
hearts who from time to time assemble
there, with some portion of that spirit
which led them forth to battle with dis
union and help to conquer for the right.
In connection with these portraits it is
proposed TO place in the hall OF the
school marble statue, from a design by
