comparatively new medicine, has already
attracted the attention of millions in both
hemisphercs. II has been advertised
through all the channels accessil le to hh-

been the preservation OF thousanlsoflives,

hence he steps boldly out Of the contracted
circle Of professional exclusiyeness, and
places his Great Restorative within the

The Tennessee Democracy.

In the Tennessee Democratic Conven.
ton, the Committee on Resolutions made
two reports. The majority report said {:
That inasmuch ms the convention Of
Liberal Republicans, held at Cincinnati,
has presented to the country the names
Of Horace Greeley, of New York, and
Benjamin Gratz Brown, of Missouri, MS
candidates for President and Vice Presi.
dent of the United States, and have invi.
ted the co operation Of all patriotic citi.
2ens in their support, We deem it hut the
part of patriotic duty to declare that in
the contest now well nigh upon us, that
said nominees deserve the support OF
every patriot in the MS against u ticket
representing the principles, policy und
practices Of the present Federal admins
tration. And while renfllrming our pur.
pose and desire to preserve the integrity
Of the Democrrtic party, we do nOverthe.
less declare, in our behalf, and. us We
are well satisfied, in behalf Of the people
we here represent, that, in our opinion,
with the lights before us, the presentation
Ofcandidatesfor the Presidency and Vice
Presidency in theappronching contest by
the Democratic party Of the nation would
be unwise, unnecessary, and exceedingly
dangerous to the welfare Of the people at
large.
The minority report said
ReSOirsd That the Democracy Of Ten
nOssee, having full faith and confidence
in the honesty, patriotism and prudence
of the National Democratic Convention
when it shall SO assemble, are willing to
refer the question of Presidential n0mi.
nations, and all other matters of party
policy, to said convention for final decis.
lou and adjustment, aud we pledge the
Democracy OF the State to abide by anu
support its action in the premises.
Resoired, That we arc unalterably op.
posed to the disintegmtion Of the Demo.
cratic party of the nation, and are deter.
mined to maintain it's organization and
uphold its platform so far as lies in our

necessary for manufacturing, and il the
building is two stories higi, rs il should
be, allowing ten feet in lenght for every
100 cows from which milk is to be re.
ceived. The cost of the building will
depend upon the locality, kind of mn

cost OF factories in New York is about
$500 for each 100 cows, and for the milk
of 500 cows the apparatus will cost from
81 900 to Sl,2N. Smaller factories cost
more in proportion. A good we'll will
