DHYsHCHANs 4 DRUGGISTS.

A prominent New York physician lately com
planned to DUNDAs DICK about his SANDAL
WOOD OIL CAPSULES, stating that sometimes
they cured miracuously but that a patient of
his had taken them for some time without eft
feet. On being informed that several inlta-
tions were made aud sold. he inquired and
found that his patient had been taking cap
sules sold in bottles, and not DUNDAS DICK
& CO.'S.
What happened to this physician may have
happened to others, and DundGs Dick d. Co.
take this method Of protecting physicians
druggists and themselves, and preventing OIL
of Sdndairood from coming into disrepute.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the Cap
sules will continue TO do so, for they contain
the p,tre oil i'll the best and cheapest form.
Dundas Dick s. Co. use more OIL of Sandal
rood i'll the manufacture of their Capsules than
all the Wholesale and retail druggists and per
tumers in the United States combined, and this
is the sole reason why the pure Oil is sold cheap
en- in their Capsules than III any other form.
OIL of Sanddirrood is fast superseding every
other remedy, 90 Capsules only being required
to insure a safe aud certain cure i'll o or days.
From no ether medicine can this result be had.
Dicks Soft Capsules solve the problem long
considered by many eminent physicians. Of
how to avoid the nausea and disgust expe-
rienced in swallowing, which are well known
to detract from. if not destroy, the good effects
OF many valuable remedies.
Soft Capsules are put up i'll tin-f0il and neat
boxes, thirty III each, and are the only cap
sules prescribed by physicians.

The Rapides Agricultural Fair came off at

Thursday and Friday, the 18th, 10th and 18th
of October, and was, according to the Demo-
erat of the 22d, sin all respects, and i'll every
feature, most complete success
Opelousas was represented at this Fair, but
not near so well, or rather SO numerously, as
it should have been. Our ingenious old friend,
Prof Simon Richard, was there, and so was
our energetic fellow -townsman. Geo. Pulford,
who was awarded the highest premium for
the best harness, saddlery, &c, Oh exhibition.
Besides this hattering recognition of his ex-
cellence as a workman, Mr.. Pulford received a
no less aattering compliment at the hands of
the Democrat, in the shape of special men-
tion of the fine display he made-a compliment
which it did not vouchsafe to any other ex-
hibitor. 1t says:
We must, however, be excused for making
special mention of George Pulford, of Opelou-

The Meeting Next Monday.

We hope that no man in this parish having
the true interests of Louisiana at heart, who
can conveniently attend the meeting which
win be held at the Court House next Monday,
will fail to do SO. "The time for folded hands
and passiveness has gone by," as the N. 0. Pic
ayane truthfully says, "and now it is the duty
Of every individual opposed to the Kellogg
Government to come forward and give ex-
preston to his sentiments. Our pretended
friends, but really our secret enemies, have
sung the siren song of submission only to be-
guile us from the crusade against fraud and
corruption. The Convention will sit without
FEAR of interference, and give to the world
what the honest people of Louisiana feel in
the present crisis. Let not that old feeling
of inactivity, which has kept some of our
wealthy citizens away from primary meetings,
deter them now. Our States future depends
upon general action, and all should rally to her
cry in this hour. Let every one attend"

New ORLEANS, Sept. "a. 1873.
FeIor- Citizens Of Louisiana The Commit
tee of Seventy has called a Mass Convention
to assemble in this city Oh the fourth Monday
Of November next.
The time is fast approaching when the cause
of the people OF this State will again be pre-
sented to Congress for final adjustment and
settlement, and your committee moved by pro-
found convictions looking to the well-being of
the entire people of this commonwealth. have
concluded that a Convention OF the people of
the State would be the most acceptable me-
dunn for an appropriate presentation to the
Congress of the nation of the alarming and
unprecedented outrages committed against
the rights and liberties Of the people Of this
State, by which government never elected
by their suffrage has been set up and estab-
lished by fraud aud force over them.
Elect to this Convention your tried. truest.
and ablest men. and let us make one united
and combined effort to rescue our State from
the grasp Of the spoliators aud usurpers
Let us make at least one last grand effort
to arouse the Congress of the Union, and the
people thereof, to a full appreciation of the
means and methods. employed under Federal
auspices that thruttled the State Government
of Louisiana.
We owe this much to ourselves and to those
to come after us.
We desire to preseat the question, fairly
and squarely. to the Congress and to all the
not it is permissible under our form Of govern
ment. for an inferior United States Judge,
supported by Uuited States soldiers and the
Chief Executive of the nation, without refer
ence to and in defiance of the will ID the peO
pie as expressed by the ballot, to pull down
one State Government and set up another IN
its stead. =.
3 Should Congress repudiate such repreheus
BILE practices, we merely will obtain our rights
Oh the other hand, should Congress lermil
such practices to go unrtbuked. we will ther
know our status; know that despotism has
usurped the place OF constitutional govern
ment, and the quicker We know it the better
Let the people of this State take an active
part in their own cause, which is the cause OF
every State in the Union, and you may ther
rest assured that all will yet be we'll

bFFICE OF The HOWARD ASSOCIATION, ,
No. 5S Camp Street,
New Orleans, October I'D, 1873.
A Stirring Appeal.

The members of the legal or McEnery Legis-
lature residing in New Orleans, met in caucus
in that city last week. and adopted series of
resolutions endorsing the action of the Com
mittee of Seventy in calling a State Conven-
tion, and an address to the people of the State,
from which we make the following extract:
Citizens of Louisiana. the signs of the times
are auspieious and encouraging. The unex-
pected and overwhelming Conservative ylcto-
ries of the great Northwest plainly foretell
that the day of deliverance is at hand. The
friends of constitutional government have, by
their votes in the recent elections, admins
tered the most telling and significant rebuke
to those who have by fraud and force toisted
the Kellogg usurpation upon us.
The spirit of liberty still lives. The digni-
fed resistance which you have, under tue most
trying circumstances, opposed to the outrages
perpetrated upon you, has commanded the
respect of every American freeman. The cal,
unlnies of periurers and their suborners Will
not prevent the universal condemnation OF the
Louisiana Outrage. nor stitle the voice OF jus
tice. The events which have transpired in
this State during the past year have beeome a
part of cur country's history, and have awak-
ened the most serious apprehensi0ns tor the
safety and perpetuity of our liberties IN the
minds of her purest and most thoughtful
statesmen.
Be it said to their everlasting honor, that
the sons of Louisiana, who in days gone by
were the first to unfurl the banner of republi-
can government on this continent. have by
their recent acts rekimdled the fast-expirihg
fires upon the affairs of our country.
One more effort, and We feel assured the
tvrants, chains will fall from the limbs of our
beloved mother, Louisiana!
