Dear Sir-When about six months old / vacci-

over me to such an extent that rolled in bran

with sores breaking in my head and discharging
corruption from my ear. At this time small kerr

time 1 was taking various remedies for my blood
without any substantial benefit
L then went to a prominent physician in Boston,
who, during his treatment of months, lanced the
tumor eight times, which cost nearly 500. This
left me with rough aggravated sore, without at all
diminishing the size of the tumor, and in sickly
feeble condition. / consulted another physician in
Natick, who, after considerable time, succeeded in
healing the without reducing the size. At this
earnest persuasion of "a friend After / had taken
this medicine about week, | experienced won

dergoing radical change, until, finally, the tumor
broke and discharged frightful quantities. From
this time it decreased in size, until the bunch disap

THE MEDICINE THAT CURES
Is
vegetine.

Taking into consideration the character of it's
vouchers, the history of it's cures and the Immense
increasing demand, VEGETINE may be fairly entitled
the leading medicine of the age.
For Scrofula in the blood VEGETINE is infallibIe
remedy and no person need suffer from tumors, al
GERS and all diseases arising from impure blood if
VEGETINE is used according to directions There is
not case of Scrofula in existence that VEGETINE
will not cure, provided however, the vital functions
have not lost their power of action all that may be
said to the contrary notwithstanding.
VEGETINE is pleasant to the taste, mild in it's inu
ence, and absolute in its action disease as the
following unquestonable evidence will show:

The Age of Bees.

The queen passes the period of about
three days in the egg and five as worm
the workers then close her cell, and she
Immediately begins to spin her cocoon,
which takes her from twenty to twenty
four hours. On the tenth and eleventh
days, and perhaps part of the twelfth
day, she seems to be exhausted by her
labor She now remains in com plete
repose; she then passes four or five days
as a nympha, and on the fifteenth to
the sixteenth day perfect queen is
attained. Much depends on the strength
of the colony and the heat of. the sea-
son, which viii vary it from one to two
days.
The drone passes three days in the
egg and about six in the worm, and
changes into a perfect insect on the
twenty-fourth day after the egg is laid.
Much depends on the strength and heat
of the colony, which should be about
seventy degrees Fab. for their speedy
Development. They lay in rather a
dilatory state for several days after they
hatch, before taking wing.

Behold that pale, emaciated figure,
with downcast eye, like some criminal,
about to meet her fate! See that nervous
distrustful look, as she walks along with a
slow and unsteady STEP The pink he's left
her cheeks and the cherry her lips. The
sparkling, dancing eyes are now
dull and expressionles5. The once
warm, dimpled hands are now thin and
cold. Her beauty has fed. What has
wrought this wondrous change? What is
that which is lurking beneath the surface Of
terrible condition? Is she aware of the woe
full appearance she makes? Woman, from
her very nature is subject to a catalogue of
diseases from which man is entirely exempt.
Many of these maladies are induced by her
own carelessnees, or through ignorance of
the laws of her being. Again, many Female
Diseases, if properly treated, might be arrest
in their course, and thereby prove Of short
duration. They should not be left to an
inexperienced physician, who does not
understand their nature, and is, therefore
incompetent to treat them. The importance
of attending to Female Diseases in their
earliest stages cannot be too strongly urged.
For if neglected they frequently lead to Con-
sumption, Chronic Debility, and oftentimes
to Insanity. In all classes of Female Dis
eases, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
without a rival. No medicine has ever sur
passed it. In '"The Peoples Common Sense
Medical Adviser" of which r. V. Pierce M.
d.. of Buffalo, N. Y, is the author and pub
Usher, is an extended treatise on WOMAN AND
HER DISEASES. Under this head, the various
affections to which woman is incident are
carefully considered, accurately portrayed,
and restorative course of treatment sugges
ted. Every woman, as she values her life
and health, should possess copy of this valu-
able book If she be diseased, this Adviser"
will show her how she may be restored to
health and also direct her how she may
ward off many maladies to which she is con-
stantly being exposed. Let every suffering
woman heed this timely advice and see her
self as others see her. Price of Adviser, $3.50

The Convention Instructs for wins
amt This t1eW God.

The Alexander county Republican
convention assembled in the court house
in this city yesterday afternoon. 1t was
beyond all question the noisiest, most
unseemly, unrully, not to say disgraceful,
political convention ever held in this
county. 1t was one continual wrangle
from the moment the crowd began to as
semble to the time it broke up. As is
probably well understood. the conven-
ton was called for the purpose Of select
| ing delegates TO the Congress sional. Sen
atorial and Representative conventions
to.be held in this city on next Tuesday,
9th inst.
The great contest in the convention
was in the selection of delegates 10 the
congressional convention. The friends
OF Willis and Frick were out in force,
and the fight over the selection and in.
struction Of the delegates was long and
bitter. The factions were led by Col. G..
w. McKeaig, Bill Scott. Harry O'Brien,
Dick Taylor, and few others in the inter
est of Jonathan C.'Willis and Capt. j.
b. Phillis, Casper Iost, Geo. Fisher,
+. +. Walbridge, Warren Veins, and
others, in the interest Of Mr.. Fnck.
Mr.. Tricks friends were firm, and
fought hard for their iavOrite, but the
thing had "been fixed" and it seemed,
as it afterward proved, that they were
fighting against hope. The colored
troops had been marshalled, and were
too many tor them. The great majority
of the white Republicans, and altogether
the more respectable portion of the con-
vention, were favorable to instruct for Mr..
i'rick; but. the colorcd men, who
have been accustomed to do
the bidding of their masters,
such men as Col. Mekeaig. Scott & Co..
were on hand in great numbers, and
voted and acted rs the McKcaig faction
dictated, and MIR. Frick and his friends
were pushed to the wall as the proceed
| ings of the convention, which will be
| found in detail below. will show.
There was great many Democrats in
the house as lockers on, and it was with
no small degree Of pleasure that they
took in the scene going on about them.
Hon. Matt Inscore of Anna was also
present, and looked on in utter astonish.
, nent and disgust.
