Dear Sir:-It gives me very great pleasure to
inform you of the benefit received from the use
of Peruvian Syrup in my own family. My
wife, for the past ten years, has been in feeble
health--very much deblitated generally.
Last spring she concluded to try bottle of
Peruvian Syrup, and was so we'll pleased with
the result continued its use until three or four
bottles had been used, and she is now in better
health than at any time for ten years, and has
increased in weight from ITO pounds to 1861. L
have employed physicians, and used great
variety of patent medicines, to the extent of
hundreds of dollars, and [ know she received
more benefit from the Peruvian Syrup than all
the rest together.
NV sales on the Syrup are very large and
constantly increasing, and DO not hesitate to
recommend and even warrant it to give salts
faction. If you desire, you are at liberty to use
this communication as you see fit, as it gives
me pleasure to recommend so good an article
to suffering humanity,

For ten years my daughter had been troubled with

purchased box, little thinking it would be Of any
benefit to her, as had tried numerous articles both
here and in the united States 1 am now happy to
state that one box Of RAIDERS German Snuff has
made complete cure. Her appetite Is good. and
she is fast recovering her wonted health and happi

have not yet closed, but it is expected that the
horse exhibit will be better than that of former

Information has been received here
to-day from Oregon showing that the
point of weakness of Cronin's case
arises from the fact that he did not
carry out his instructions, and that he
thus made q bad mudd!e of the whole
business. He should have remained
with the Republican Electors and re-
fused to leave the room, insisted on
voting and thus made a case where
there would have been no vacancy in
the college. Instead of this, he APP
pears to have gone off by himself as
soon as the two genuine Electors re-
fused to recognize him, imagining that
II he carried the Governors certificate
with him he vas the whole Electoral
College himself. If he had carried out
strictly the programme laid down the
result might have been an embsrrass-
ing % for the Republicans, but as it
is, Cronin accomplished nc practical
result.
