Dear Sir: When about six months old was vac
cinated. The parties who where vaccnated from
the same virus died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such an extent that was rolled
in bran to prevent me from scratching my person.
The disease finally settled in my head. remained
in this condition about twenty years, troubled all
the time with sores breaking in my head and dis
charging corruption from my car. AT this time a
small kernel appeared on my neck, gradually in
creasing in size until tumor formed OF such i'm
mense size could see it by turning my eyes down.
ward. All this time was taking various remedies
for my blood without any substantial benefit
1 then went to prominent physician IN Boston,
who during his treatment of six months, lanced the
tumor eight times, which cost me nearly $500. This
left me with rough aggravated sore, without at all
diminishing the size of the tumor, and in sicky,
feeble condition L consulted another physician In
Natick, who after considerable time, succeeded in
healing the sore without reducing the size. At this
point [ commenced to use VEGETINE, through the
earnest persuasion of friend. After had taken
this medicine about one week experienced wonder
full sensations My whole body seemed to be under
going radical change, until finally the tumor broke
and discharged frightfu quantities. From this time
it decreased in size until the bunch disappeared but
my neck still bears the ugly of the sore and
lance. I am now healthy and strong and able to
work every day.

In an article published yesterday it was
stated that the Springfield Republican ex-
pressed the opinion that the charge against
Gov. Tilden in connection western railroad
transaction was of no account. That paper
did make such a remark, but a few days
since, in commenting upon the reply of Mr..
Griswold, the Republican said:
The fact which more Immediately concerns Mr.
Tiden is, that Mr.. Griswod's charges have made
more or less impression on the public mind and
that the Republican organs are aboring to deepen it.
He is to good politician not to see the seriousness
of this. His reform work and the reputation it has
earned him are his trade. He has investi-
gated other people, vigorously and sharply. He can
not afford to be even seem to shrink from nvestga-
tions when it comes around to him; when he has
been publicly challenged to face it. 1t behooves him
between this and the meeting of the St. Louis con-
vention to confront Mr.. Griswold. either in the
courts or before some other tribunal whose judg-
ment will carry conviction, and there dispose Of
these charges so efectuay that they will never be
heard of again. They are sort OF artillery which
presidential candidates cannot spike too promptly
or too thoroughly.

The Aduertiser's conjecture IS at fault.
The Fourth district did not ask that the con-

quest came from Messrs. Castle, Hopkins and
Corthell, the members from Waldo, Hancock

see how state convention can arrange mat

The Medicine that Cure
is
VEGETINE.

Taking into consideration the character Of its
vouchers the history of its cures and the immense
increasing demand, VEGETINE may be fairly en-
titled the leading medicine Of the age.
For scrotula in the blood, VEGETINE is an in
fallible remedy, and no person need suffer from
humors ulcers, and all diseases arising from impure
blood, if VEGETINE is used according to directions
VEGFTINE will not cure, provided, however. the
vital functions have not lost their power of action
VEGETINE is pleasant to the taste mild in its in
fuence and absolute in its action disease, the
following unouestionable evidence will show.

THE Democratic policy now is to keep the

In 1918 he entered Cambridge where some of
the happiest years of his life were passed,

because of his invincible dislike to mathemat-

to the bar. His literary career began in 1925
with the contribution to the Edinburgh Review

no opposition could be made. His hopes,
however, we're doomed to disappoint-

their hostility to Mr.. Hofecker and op-
posed his confirmation by the Senate
