State Department by the President Of Ecuador This
was distributed 10 several hospitals and Mr.
Colfax obtained a few pounds. His mother, Mrs. Mat

range wonderfully rapid beneficial effect, as proba-
bly at least 500 people who knew her in South Bend and
Washington will testify Mr. COax in his Joy at his moth
ers returning health the facts TO personal friend
Of the family in Baltimore Mr.. s. NJ. shoemaker. This
private letter was published without his knowledge in
The Baltimore American OF July 10, 1871 simply
item Of news, and generally copied throughout the
country. That the first last and all OF Mr. COlfaxs
connection with the cundurango question He never
was any manner associated with our company or re-
ceived any share or compensation from it, On the
trary he and his family subjected great annoy
ance from letters addressed 20 them the subject
which him often express hs regret that the letter
had ever written. DR.. d. w. Bliss being Mr. Col
fax's family physician, Mrs. Matthew's case
came directly under ms charge, ana ne mad

effected candidates for minor city officials. but an
rrecOnciabe difference sprang up about candidate for
