have discovered remedy for pulmonary
consumption. 1t has cured a number OF cases
after they had commenced bleeding at the
lungs, and the hetic flush was already on the
cheek. After trying this remedy to my own
satisfaction, have thought that true philan-
thropy required that should let it be known
to the world. 1t is the common mullen,
stepped strong and sweetened with coffee
sugar, and drank freely. The herb should be
gathered before the 25th of July, if conven-
lent. Young plants or old are good if dried
in the shade and kept in clean paper bags.
The medicine must be continued from three
to six months according to the nature of the
disease. 1t cures hard colds, and helps to
cure typhoid fever and almost any cough. 1t
strengthens the system, and builds up instead
of taking away the strength. 1t makes good
blood, and takes inflammation from the lungs.
1t is the wish of the writer that every period
zeal in the United States and Canada and Eu-
rope should publish this recipe for the benefit
of the human family. Lay this up and keep
it in the house ready for use. Mullen is found
throughout New England and Canada

Corruptions of the Democratic Party.

Having seen in Democratic papers from
party was corrupt and extravagant in the man
agement of affairs, either state or municipal,
l will through your paper, give the result of
Republican and Democratic management in
the town of which the writer of this is a resi-.
dent.
The town i, very nearly balanced between
the two political parties, one party electing
their ticket one year, the other the next,
and part Of the time the town Offices have
been divided between the two parties
Since the year 1860, the Republicans have
elected their entire ticket for municipal Off
GERS four times, and the democrats have elect
ed their entire ticket four times. The aver
age pay OF the town officers under republican
administration has been S3l7 per year, while
under democratic rule the average pay of
town officers has been $40, nearly one third
more under democratic rule than under re-
publican. The above are the exact figures
taken from,otiicial sources, and cannot be con-
tradcted. If democratic papers that are con-
tinually prating about republican extrava-
gance, will satisfactorily explain the above
figures, then I will give the result of the four
years OF democratic management of the fnan-
ces of the town, to which the above figures
are but slight in comparison, and will show
conclusively that all this high sounding talk
about reform in democratic papers is cheat
and fraud, only intended to cover up the
rottenness of the once proud democratic par
ty. VETERAN.
