and Consumption. -

Cough, Bronchitis; Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before In the whole history Of
medicine, has my thing won so widely and SO
deeply upon the confidence Of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through q long series Of years, and among most
Of the races Of MEN 1t has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as Il has become better known.
Its uniform character and power 10 cure the Va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made It known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to nilder forms OF, disease
and to young children, 1t is at the same time the
most efectual remedy that can be given for incip-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
Of the throat and lungs. AS q provision against
sudden attacks Of Group 1t should be kept ON
hand In every famify, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, oil should DO
provided with this antidote for therns
Although settled Consun.ptio's is thought IN.
curable, still great nu nbers Of cases where tho
cured and the patient restored to sound health
by the CHerTY PICTORIAL So complete Is its
mastery over the disorders Of the Lungs and
Throat that the most obstinate Of them yield TO It.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry Federal they subside and disappear.
Ssagers and Public Speakers find great
protection from It.
Asthnaa is always relieved and often wholly
cured by 1t.
Bronc5aias is generally cured by. taking the
Che7.Ty Pccfordt In small and frequent doses.
So generally are Its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates Of them here, or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained. .t p.'al-. .t... g.. F.. -

TO the Editor of the Journal. -

An article in the Maine Standard of the 9Th
inst, headed .'Mr. Pillsbury and the
Spragues," seems to call for a reply to so
much of it as directly concerns myself or
clerks. %-
In no single instance, within my knowledge
or belief, has any person had reasonable
cause to suppose or believe that the question
of his political faith had anything whatever
to do with his obtaining employment, being
kept in employment, or being discharged from
the employ of the A. &. W. Sprague Manu-
featuring Company.
Neither has the patronage Of the A. & W.
Sprague Manufacturing Co., in purchasing
material or supplies, been distributed with
any Partially to the Republicans.
My principle and practice has been to en-
ploy the best workmen, without any question
or regard to their politics, and make my pur-
chases of materials and supplies from those
who would furnish the best articles at the
lowest prices.
As evidence, give the names of the par
ties of whom we have made our principle
purchases:
Iron Castings and Machine work-Thomas
Lambard, Esq.
Iron, Steel and miscellaneous hardware-C.
w. Stafford & Sons.
Bricks-T. A. Saunders and j. j. Fuller
Grain-Parrott & Bradbury.
Lumber-C. & Z. Milliken, Lancey & Smith,
and X. L. & l.. Co.
Supplies-Wills & Stanley, Gould & Adams
and B. Libby & Co.
Of the principle Foremen employed the fol-
lowing are believed to be democrats -
Charles w Stone, Foreman of Quarry.
Otis Pierce, Foreman of Masonry.
l think it is perfectly safe to say that at
least three -fourths of the money paid out in
this city by my Company for material and
supplies has been paid to Democrats.
We have in our employ many men who
have worked for us almost constantly for years
who are earnest working democrats both at
home and at the polls
think it is perfectly proper for me to de-
clare, that at no time since the purchase of
the Sprague property in this city, have the
affairs of the company been so managed by
its Agent or clerks as to exercise any i'm
proper or unfair influence over any person
as to his political preference or vote. No
man has been employed simply because he
was Republican, and none discharged be-
cause they were Democrats, and the state
ment of the Standard ''that men had been
discharged ostensibly on some frivolous pre-
text but in in reality for voting the Demo-
cratic ticket" has no foundation in fact
