The DEBORAH Republican takes
the Democrats Of Boston to task,

for a candidate with . black skin in

That the white candidate in Bos-

Democrats would prefer a negro to
him, argues that the decentralization

State only men Of the stripe CT Gov.
Stone can succeed in getting State

their medical properties, and ascertained

they will effect speedy and permanent
cures, and accomplish all We claim for them
and to satisfy the public that We are sim

permanently cure when taken strictly ac-
cording to directions, any case Of Blind.

authorize the Druggist to refund the money
paid for the Pills.
We do not claim for them that they will
cure 'prolapsus ami or fstula." US those
