Reliable Evidence.

Mr.. II. r. STEVENS
DEAR SIR will most cheeriully add my
testimony 10 the great number you have al
ready received in favor of your great and good
medicine, NEGETINE, for do not think that
enough can be said in Its praise, for was trOu-
bled over thirty years with that dreadful dis
ease, Catarrh, and had such bad coughing
spells MAT IL would seem as though could
never breathe any more, and NEGETINE has
cured me; and do feel to thank God all the
time there is so good medicine as NEGETINE,
and also think It one of the best medicines
for coughs and weak sinking feelings at the
stomach, and advise everybody to take the
VEGETINE, fOr / can assure them that IL Is one
of the best medicines thai ever was.

VEGETINE
VIII Cleans ScrOfula from the System.
HONEST OPINION.

Mr.. d. r. STEVENS
DEAR SIR-This is to show that my son was
taken SICK in January, iS6i, with ScrOfula,
which came out in large sores and ulcers on
his leg and hip. His leg was swelled more than
twice lis natural size. He had several doctors
of high standing in their profession two from
Boston ana three from Cearlestown- without
getting a bit better. He was obliged to e
wherever he wassplaced, for he had no use of
his limbs whatever. When we had given mp
all hopes OF his living, we were told TO try
VEGErI Ne, the great blood remedy; and he
had taken IL but short time before we could
see great change The sores run so bad that
we had to change the cloths four or five times
day. Still, he was getting better; for he
could move his limbs and help himself a little.
He was soon aole TO sit up in bsd, and by the
CoEstant use of NEGETINE, il has cured him.
He has a lame leg, which he will probably have
for life but we all honestly believe. If we had
uSe1 VEGETINE before We had bothered with
those doctors. IL would have saved ths use OF
his leg, and restored il TO natural health. 1
hope all those troubled with Scrofula will read
this testimony of me and my son, who is now
well and able to speak for himself

The fight Is even warmer than in New
York, for Brooklyn has worse ring, if
any difference. An Irishman named
Mclaughlin. owns and controls Brook
lyn as entirely as Tweed did New York
five years ago. He is the head centre of
the Democracy in that city, and has. of
course, amaSSed an immense fortune
from the plunder of the taxpayers. He
dictates the nominations-he elects the
ticket nominated and then controls
every appointment, and through them
every dollar of expenditure. But Boss
Mclaughlin is going through his sea of
trouble. He became so dictatorial that
the Democratic leaders are opposing
him, and it is possible that the Reform
movement may be strong enough to
swamp him. The Republicans have
nominated an excellent ticket. and
thousands of honest Democrats will vote
for it. Gen. Slocum, Democratic MEM
Der of Congress from the BROOKLYN dis
trict for two terms, is on the stump for
the Reform ticket, and he puts in the
most damaging blows. 1t is shown that
for four years Mclaughlin has had alb
solute control of the city-that he owned
every office of trust and profit-that not
an appointment could be made, or a dol
lar spent without his consent.
