The party is ready at any time to
give them q welcome, and it will have
quite as many of thesereturning wan

The Best Eyldenc.

The following letter from Rev. 4. s. Best, Pastor
of the M. E. Church, Natick, Mass, will be read
with interest by many physicians; also those suf-
fering from the same disease as afflicted the of
the Rev. Z. >. Best No person can doubt this tes-
timOny, there is no doubt about the curative
power of VEGETINE.
NATIcK, MASS, Jan. 1, 1873.
MR.. Fl. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-We have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the means of saw
ing our sons life. He is seventeen years of
age; for the last two years he has suffered from
necrosis of his leg caused by scrofulous affection
and so far reduced that nearly all who saw
him thought his recovery impossible. A council of
able physicians could give us but the faintest hope
of his rallying; two of the number declaring that
he was beyond the reach of human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, as he had not
vigor enough TO endure the operation. just then
we commenced giving him VEGETINE and from
that time TO the present he has been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed studies, thrown
away his crutches and cane and walks about cheer
fully and strong.
Though there is some discharge from the open
ing where his limb lanced, we have the fullest
confidence that in little time he will be perfectly
cured.
He has taken about three dozen bcttles of VEG
ETINE, but lately uses hut little, he declares he
is too well to I've taking medicine.
Respectfully yonrs,
E. S. BEST.
MRS. l.. C.. BEST.

GENERAL CARY.
BY HOMO.

He's this and that, and 'tother and which,
Is circumstances vary;
And if ever a man had the Office itch;
That man is General Cary.
Scratching for crumbs, he goes and comes,
A hungry politician;
His aim has always been the same,
To better Sans condition.
TTis true, he's had queer work to do,
But Samuel doesn't mind It;
Each party hedge, that he's crawIed through,
Has left scar behind it.
Bring on your steeds in this two-horse act,
Tho wild they be, and frisky;
And wish you to note, for the sake of vote,
He'll straddle both water and whisky.

How do the Confederate currency
Democracy who are clamoring for
an increase of paper money account
for the fact that banks and capital
lists are burdened with q surplus of
'cash on hand" and are loaning free
ly at rates ranging from two to five
per cent per annum? If business
has become dull and depression gen
eral for the want of an increase of
money, will Mr. Infationist explain
why those who need more money do
not go into the market and supply
their necessities while it can be done
at lower rates than ever before in the
history of the country? In other
words, cannot every business man in
the State obtain just as much CAPT
tai as his business requires, provided
he has the necessary securities to
offer! And if he has not this indis-
pensable requisite how else does he
expect to obtain the use of other pee
pies money, even if the government
added one hundred per cent. to its
circulation of greenbacks7

BIunders ofthe Democrat
ic Legislature.

"Y. S., tho Columbus correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette, shows
up some of the stupid blundering of
the last Democratic Legislature =
1--WE hope it may be the last for long
time) in letter to that paper of the
22d. We condense the leading points:
First. He shows that the Legisla
ture amended several laws that had
been repealed for years, while former
amendatory acts were ignored, and
the originals amended andre-repealed.
Second They disregarded the con-
stitutional provision, that no law
shall be revised or amended unless
the new act shall contain the entire
act revised or the sections amended.
By this blunder, in the act for the
reorganization of the Central Luna
tic Asylum, they SO muddled matters
that it is impossible to say who ought
to have charge of the Asylum. This
is only one instance, but others
might be given.
Third. In amending the Justices
act, they blundered so that it is diff
cult to tell what decisions of a JUS
tice may be appealed from; and the
expenses and uncertainty of itiga-
ton are greatly increased.
Fourth. At it's second session, the
Legislature repealed or altered no
less than "a of the laws passed at
it's first session, and absolutely chang
ed some at the same session in
which they were passed!
Fifth. In an act for the improve
ment of streets in Columbus, they
exempted the city bonds issued for
such improvements from taxation, in
direct of violation section 2 of the Sth |
article of the Constitution.
Sixth. They so changed the gam
bling act of 1873, that gamblers are
now punished only by fine or impris
onment, instead of by both, as in the
former law. The property in which
gambling was carried on was liable
for judgments under the old law;
now it is not. Under the old law
gamblers had to give security for
fine and costs; now no security is re-
quired unless they are convicted of
cheating in gambling.
Seventh. They amended the law
in regard to minor offenses SO that
now criminal cannot be committed
to Jail in default of paying his fine
unless he first fees from the county
and is pursued, arrested and brought
back. Thus there is no punishment
whatever for this class of criminals
unless they first run away and are
caught Admirable legislation, GER
tainly!
Eighth. They enacted township
ditch law in April, 1874, which con-
tains two clauses in relation to juries
that the Supreme Court pronounced
unconstitutional while the Legisla-
ture was in session; yet at the sub
sequent session, no amendment of
the law was made, and it now stands
on the statute books, with the unconsti-
tutional provisions unrepealed.
About 40 counties in the State have
taken action under this law, all of
which action is illegal and liable to
be set aside, to the great loss and
injury of the people.
Such are q feao of the blundeis
committed by the great "Reform
Democratic Legislature. Do the
people of Ohio want another of the
same kind? We think not.

The Tired Body Sues for sleep.

II. r. STEVENS, ESQ.,: Dear Sir-It is as much
from a of duty of gratitude that write to
say that your VEGETINE-even if it is q patent
medicine-has been of great help TO me when moth
Either excessive mental labor unusual care brings
upon me a nervous exhaustion that desperately
needs sleep, but desperately defies it. Night af
ter night the poor, tired body sues for sleep until
the day-dawn is welcomed back, and we begin our
work tired out with almost fruitiess chase after
rest. Now have found that little VEGETINE
taken Just before retire gives sweet immedi-
ate sleep, and without any of the evil effects of the
usual narcotics. i think two things would tend to
make brain-workers sleep. 1st-A little less work
2d-A little more VEGETINE. This prescription
has helped me.
Now have particular horror of "patent medi-
cine" hut have greater horror of being afraid

helped me, ard own 1t up.

Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the yEGETrNE has been
steadily working itself into public favor, and those
who were at first most increduous in regard to its
merits are now its most ardent friends and sup
porters.
There are three essential canses for those having
opinion and lending their influence toward the ad-
vancemeDt of VEeETINE. 1st-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs.
2d-It honestly accomplishes all that is claimed for
it, without leaving any bad effects in the system.
3d-t presents honest vouchers in testimonials from
honest, wel-known citizens, whose signatures are
a sufficient guarantee of their earnestness in the
matter. Taking into consideration the vast quanti
ty of medicine brought conspicuously before the
public through the flaming advertisements in the
pardoned for manifesting small degree of pride
in presenting the following testimonial from Rev.
J. S. DICKERSON, ID. D., the popular and-ever
genial pastor of the South Baptist Church, Boston.
