some cause or other, did not appear in that PA

try and particularly of Virginia, do, for ourselves
and in behalf of the Republican party every

pie of Virginia, in defence OF the Republican par
ty and its principles, lately set forthn Richmond
by order Of the Republican State Central Com
mittee.
Sd. That this convention recommends most cor
daily to the Republican party Of Virginia the
name of Col. Il. w. Hughes, of Washington

periments in that department, avail myself
of the present moment to communicate
through your widely circulated and highly
useful paper to all who may be interested,
an experiment made by myself in the treat
ment Of a disease in the pig known as blind
StdggerS. A fine Essex pig which had been
suffering with this disease was found lying
in ditch apparently lifeless; so far gone in
deed, as to be unable to resist handling or
treatment. l considered him virtually dead
Having noticed that Mr.. J. Z. Bel, ia very re-
liable gentleman ofOur county recommended
Hunts Rangum Root Liniment for thumps in
the hog, determined to try it in this disease,
blind staggerS. Having procured bottle,
| applied it well to the throat, chest and
| spine. In less than two hours the pig was
drinking milk. | applied the remedy in the
same manner the next day. If he ever had
a spasm after the first application, am not
aware of it, and lie is now one of the finest
pigs on the place. In few days two others
were attacked and treated in like manner.
Both are now well and in fine condition. !
report these experiments solely in the in
terest of persons growing fine hogs, hoping
that it may be the means Of saving to them
much that would otherwise be a total loss.
