OR CHILL,S AND FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies
offered to the public for the SAFE certain spec
dy and permanent cure OF Ague and Fever,
Chills and Fever whether of short or long stand
ing. He refers tG the entire Western md South
country to bear him testimony to the truth of
the assertion that IN no case whatever will 1t fail
to cure ii the directions strictly followed ana
carried ont. In great many cases single dose
has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by a single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health tits, however,
prudent, and every more certain of cure, if
its use is continued in smaller doses for week
two after the disease has been checked, more es-
pecaly in difficult and long standing cases. Usu-
ally this medicine will not require any aid to keep
the bowels in good order. Should the patient,
however, require cathartic medicine after having
taken three four doses Of the tonic, single
dose of Bulls Vegetable Family Pills will be sutli-
cicnt.

Consumption Is decay. Soothing, eXpectorant
remedies only useful as paIIatves, they do not
reach the cause-they do not stop the decay. Tonic
medicines strengthen the life forces and proong
the battle but the decay goes steadily o., and
or later the victim must yield. Climate changes
are sometimes good, bat they seldom wholly cure.
In short, the very first thing to be done is to

is it worth while to doctor the symptoms which are
merely the results, while the decay, which is the
cause, is eating up the life springsf
These two things are we'll known by the best

Lewis Burk is an independent candidate
for County Treasurer, at the October cleo
ton. county papers please copy)
We take the above announcement
from the Independent accompanied
by the request to copy: We com
ply with this request, for the pur-
pose of saying few words to an
old friend whom we have known
favorably and intimately for over
forty years, as wing, republican,
fellow citizen, neighbor and friend
Both the whig and republican par
ties, have frequently honored him
with their confidence, and he has
always and uniformly faithfully and
strictly adhered to party usages
and nominations in order to secure
triumph to our principles by the
election of men thus chosen. This
being the political record of Lewis
Burk, for nearly half century, is
it any wonder that we who have
supported him at every election
when he was candidate, and list
ened and followed his strictly par
tizan advice and counsel, should
hesitate to credit that HE had given
any one authority to use his name
as an independent candidate, IN
opposition to the regular nominee
Of the Republican Party And the
surprise is enhanced and intensified
when he gave his assistance at the
last nominating election to form
the Republican Ticket at the head
of our editorial columnsl
We are sorry our old friend thus
loans his good name for consisten
oy, to aid the triumph of those
whom he has spent the best years
of his life in fighting politically;
for he certainly must know that
every vote he receives from his old
political friends adds strength to
the democratic candidate, John III.
Norman. Does he not know he is
being used as tool, not with the
expectation of electing him, but to
CRAFTY pique, spite and petty re
venge of pretended friendss We
respectfully remind our old friend
Burk that the advice and counsel
he has given so repeatedly and so
recently, to .'vote the unscratched
Republican Ticket" to ''stick to the
PARTY" and that '.all roads oat of
the Republican organization led IN
to the Democratic camp" are too
indellibly impressed on the MINDS
of Republicans, for many Of them
10 take the independent" shute
even for him, as much as they re-
spect him. He, at least, cannot be
elected, and if he has left any of his

will be the result, as we'll now as if
