advices from manufacturers show that, after
a good deal of parleying and delay in the fix

time since the war. Full representations of
buyers from every section of the country have
during the past two Or three weeks visited
Boston and the principal Eastern manufac-
turing towns, and placed large orders, and
the travelling statesmen have also made good
returns, so that the manufacturers are now

transferred all the power of this House TO the

HONEST OPINION.

MIR. II, r. STEVENS
DEAR SIR-This is to show that my son was taken
sick in January, 1864 with Scrofula which came out
in large sores and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg
was swelled more than twice its natural size. He
had several doctors of high standing their profess
sion-two from Boston and three from Charlestown-
without getting bit better. He was obliged to lie
wherever he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up all hopes of
his living we were told to try VEGETINE, the great
blood remedy; and he had taken it but short time
before we could see great change. The sores so
bad that we had to change the cloths four or five
times day. Still, he getting better; for he
could move his limbs and help himself little. He
was soon able to sit up in bed and, by constant use
of VEGETINE, it has cured him. He has lame
Leg which he will probably have for life; but we all
honestly believe, if we had used VEGETINE before
we had bothered with those doctors, it would have
saved the Of his leg and restored it to natural
health. 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 above plain but honest statement conclusively
shows the quick and thorough cleansing effects of the
VEGETINE in Scrofua.
VEGETINE is acknowledged by all classes of people
to be the best and most reliable blood purifier in the
world.

present month, to inform you officially that you
have been unanimously nominated by that con-
vention for the office of President of the United
States. The manner in which that action was
taken, and the response to it from every portion
of the country, attest the strength of the popu-
lar confidence in you, and the belief that your
administration will be wise, courageous and
just. We say, sir, your administration, for we
believe the people will confirm the action of
the convention and thus save the country from
the control of the men and the operation of the
principles and policies of the Democratic party
We have also been directed to ask your atten-
tion to the summary of Republican doctrine
contained in the platform adopted by the con-
vention. Discharging this agreeable duty we
