SCROFULA.
SCROFULOUS HUMOKS

If Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different physicians
many remedies, suffering for years, is ii not con-
elusive proof. if you sufferer, you can be
cured' Why is this medicine performing such
great cures, 1t works in tn blood, in the circu-
lating fluid 1t can truly be called the Great
Blood Purifier. The great source Of disease orig
mates in the blood; and no medicine that does
not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate
has any just claim upon public attention. When
the blood becomes lifeless and stagnant, either
from change Of weather or climate, want Of exer-
else, irregular diet, from any other cause, the
Vegetine will renew the blood, carry off the put
rid hunors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the
bowels, and impart tone of vigor to the whole
body. The conviction is, in the public mind as
well as in the medical profession, that the RENE
dies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are
more safe, more successful, in the cure of d.
sease, than mineral medicines. Vegetine is com
posed of roots, barks and herbs. 1t is pleasant
y take, and is perfectly safe to give an infant.
IN Scrofula the Vegetine has performed wonder
thl cnres, where many other remedies have fail
ID, as will be seen by few of the many testimo-
mails given.

The Ounce of Prevention.

The recent fire in Middlebury should
not be forgotten, or suffered to pass from
the especial attention of all Immediately
concerned, without due consideration Of
the lesson it teaches, and of the duty it
requires.
Fire, as is often said, is good servant
but bad master; and it is extremely
likely under certain circumstances, cir.
cumstances too very likely to occur, to
change from servile to regnan. char.
acter. 1t is ever the part of wisdom and
OF good policy, to guard against the pos
sibility Of such change.
But we have reason to fear that in the
hurried dispatch with which much Of
present business Is executed, the matter
The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1872-06-04

Our friend Of the Stadard, we are
confident would not willingly misrepre-
sent any one, and certainly not our
worthy Governor. But the Standards
article on the Governor question, copied
in our columns yesterday, is calculated to
give an erroneous impression on one or
two points. We think the Standard can
not name any man who will say that
Governor Stewart ever gave him any 'as-
surance that he should not ask for re-
election We believe we understand
what Governor Stewards position has
been in the matter. We have stated it
repeatedly, and will do the same once
more. We think he has always taken the
ground that it was for the people to set
tie the question in what Office, if any they
would prefer his services.
If they desired him to be Governor for
another term, that would crafty him per-
sonally. But if, in the event of redls-
tricting of the State, there should be
strong call on him to represent the West
District in Congress, such as he had been
assured there was likely to be, he should
not feel at liberty to disregard it. We
cannot see why this was not square and
manly attitude. 1t claimed nothing for
himself; and left the settlement of the
question where it belonged, with the peo-
pie. The only "change Of 'front.' on Mr.
Stewards part, if it can be called one is
this: Whereas he did give his condi-
tional consent to be candidate for Con-
gress, upon contingency which has not
occurred, he subsequently for reasonss at
isiactory to himself, concluded that he
would not be a candidate for Congress.in
any event, or at least in no event which
he considered probable or possible. We
understand that the condition and wishes
Of his family gave added force to his per-
sonal preference to remain in Vermont ;
and that he had expressions Of a desire
that he should accept reelection as gov.
ernor, not all of them as disinterested
perhaps, as he supposed but sufficiently
numerous and influential to convince him
that it was proper for him to announce
himself as candidate for denomination.
We wish this matter might be fully un
derstood on the east side of the State
There should be no misunderstanding be-
tween the friends of Mr.. Billings and Mr.
Stewart. Many of the friends of the on
are equally the friends of the other. Thu
two gentlemen have not heretofore occu
pied any position Of personal antagonism
and we trust and believe they will not in
the future.

The Governor Question.


1t was supposed by the people in this
part Of the state, and, so far as we are in
formed, was well understood in political
circles, that the announcement Of Cover
nor Stewards candidacy for re.nomina-
ton settled the question as to who should
be Governor and that Mr.. Billings would
not De a candidate. But last week the
Woodstock Standard, Bellows Falls Times
and St. Johnsbury Caledonian had articles
strongly indicative of an unwillingness to
accept that result and distinctly intimat-
ing that Governor Stewart had deceived
the friends eff Mr.. Billings. They are
altogether mistaken. His position is now
just what it has been all the time, namely
ly: he is in the hands of the people.
When there was prospect that we should
have but two congressional districts and
that he was the man upon whom all would
most willingly unite to represent one of
them, he gave quasi consent to the use
OF his name, though all the while inform.
ing his friends that many had expressed
a desire to re.elect him Governor, and
that if such desire was general he should
prefer this office.
The authority he then gave was that
the proposed change might be discussed,
with reference to ascertaining the wishes
of the people; but the use of his name
which he thus permitted was construed
we now see how unjustly-into an ac-
ceptance on'his part Of the programme
which our friends still urge
This definition of his position we had
from his own lips and we are almost
equally well assured that when the first
newspaper announcement was made, which
began the discussion some weeks ago, he
did not consider it-as certainly we die
not-a fair statement of his position anG
he was tempted at that very time t.
authorize statement that he should pre-
fer candidacy for Governor. In THU
connection we cannot forbear to stat,
that the scheme for retiring him from
the field for Governor was cooked up b,
other parties and urged upon him agains
his will. He had received many tangibl,
evidences that the people desired him t,
take reelection and we have been in
formed that he has received letters from
: all parts of the state urging him not t.
: consent to any other plan. There mus
D be well grounded reason for all this an,

candidate will not now SO far press thei

Mn. STEVENS:
Dear Sir,-I have been troubled with canker
from childhood, causing my mouth to be so sore
at times that | was unable to eat Have taken
many preparations but with no effect until
tried your Vegetine. After taking few doses,
found it relieved the faintness at the stomach that
always accompanies canker humor and, by the
time had taken the third bottle, my mouth was
entirely cured. Have not been troubled with 1t
since that time, which is eight months ago.
have recommended it TO several Of my acquaint-
ances and every one speaks fayorably of its good
effect. Yours truly, p. 5. SHERMAN.

N.S Since the passage Of Mr.. Will
lard's supplementary apportionment bill,
giving back to Vermont her three repre-
sentatives in Congress, the claim is put
in, that Mr.. Willard, by securing its pas
sage, has earned the right to another re-
election. There may be reasons why he
should be reelected, but certainly this
is not one. If he has no other claim up
on the consideration OF the people of his
district, he VII hardly be returned to

they had best give it up, for it is neither
wise in principle nor popular as a policy.
The Burlington Free Press says:
Why should the people of this State
desire to cheaper every office, and les
sen by more than one-half the return
which they receive for the money they
pay to their public servants Yet that is
what those who advocate one term in
our State, county and town offices, pro-
pose to do.
Ofcourse if the offices are simply q
means for honoring ambitious gentlemen
with titles. there is no question on the
subject-not only should there never be
a reelection to Office, but the terms of
office should be shortened, say to six
months. Then the "uew deals" will take
place about as often as in game Of cards,
and everybody's turn will come round in
rapid succession. If, on the other hand,
the Offices are created for the public good,
and the people desire the best return for
the money they pay for salaries and sup.
port of legislatures, they will do well
not to adopt rule which will deprive
them of the services Of most Of their
public servants, Just as soon as they be-
gin to be good for something.
