r. II. STEVENS, ESQ.
;, Dear Sr-I have heard from very many sources of
the great of VEGETINE in cases of Scrotula
Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Catarrh, and other
diseases of kindred nature. make no hesitation in
saying that kno,o VEGETINE to be the most reliable
remedy for Catarrh and General Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for many
years. and at times very badly. She has thoroughly
tried every supposed remedy that could hear of,
and with all this shehas for several years been grad
ualy growing worse and the discharge from the head
was excessive and very offensive.
She was in this condition when she commenced to
take VEGETINE; could see that she was improving
on the second bottle. She continued taking the VEG
ETINE until she had used from twelve to fifteen bot
ties. am now happy in informing you and the pub
lie Qf you choose to make it public that she is en-
tirely cured, and VEGETINE accomplished the cure
after nothing else would. Hence feel justified in
saying that VEGETINE is the most reliable remedy,
and would advise all suffering humanity try it, for
believe it to be good, honest, vegetable medicine
and shall not hesitate to recommend it. am &C.,
respectfully, L. G. CARDELL,
Store 451 Broadway.
VEGETINE acts directly upon the causes of these
complaints, 1t invgorates and strengthens the whole
system, acts upon the secretye organs allays infa
nation, ceanses and cures liberation, cures const-
patton, and regulates the bowels.

Nor great many Governors can exhibit
the favorable showing for their States that
the Governor of Kansas in his annual mes
sage did IN his. The increase of cultivated
acreage is 1850, ,131 acres, which is wonder
full growth. This, however, sinks into COM
parative insignifcance when the value OF
farm products for 1874 and 1875 is taken.
For the former year, this was $780,
92O, O,734; for the latter, $43, $40, ,494, an in
crease of $14O59, ,76O. The increase in wheat
grown is not quite so marked, being only
3,328, ,020 bushels but the corn increase is
very remarkable. In 1874, the corn product
was 15.699,07S bushels; in 1875 it was
SO,79S, 100, an increase of 65,099,691
bushels. Of course owing to the grasshop-
pers and other misfortunes, the yield in 1874
was far below the average product
The vote in the House on the Holman
resolution for the repeal of the resumption

suspending the rules in order to pass the res
olution, 102 are Democrats, seven are Repub-
licans and the others Independents. Of the
Democrats, only three, phelps of Connecti-
cut, J. Il. Bagey, jr., of New York, and
OBrien of Maryland) are from the eastern
and middle states, exclusive of Pennsylvania,
the affirmative votes coming almost wholly
from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia,
North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia,
Tennessee and Kentucky. The Republicans
voting in the affirmative are Robinson, Cason
and Evans of Indiana, Oliver of Iowa, Phil
lips of Kansas, Dobbins of New Jersey, and
Kelley of Pennsylvania. Of 1853 negative
votes. 76 are Republican and 80 Democrats
from the eastern and middle states, ten being
from New York. The number of negative
votes from the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and the other strong affirmative states is Al,
