and the large number of testimonials which are con-
stantly being received from persons who have been
cured by its use are conclusive proof of its great
value. 1t is recommended by physicians and apoth-
ecaries. As Blood-Puritier and Health h-Restorer
it has no equal.
VEGETINE is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors, which debilitates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it,
Are not the many testimonials given for the differ
en complaints satisfactory to any reasonable persons
suffering from disease that they be cured? Read
the different testimonials given, and no one can
doubt In many of these cases the persons say that
their pain and suffering can not be expressed as in
cases of Scrofua, where apparently, the whole body
was one mass of corruption. If VEGETINE will re-
lieve pain, cleanse, purify and such Diseases
storing the patient to perfect health after trying diff
ferent physicians, many remedies suffering for years.
is it not conclusive proof if you sufferer, you
can be cured? Why is this medicine performing
such great cures? 1t works in the blood in the cir
cnating fluid. 1t can be truly called the Great
BLOOD Purifier. The great source of disease origin
ates in the blood and medicine that does not act
claim upon public attention. When the blood be-
comes lifeless and stagnant either from change Of
weather or climate, want of exercise irregular diet
or from any other cause, the VEGETINE will renew
the blood, carry off the putrid humors cleanse the
stomach, regulate the bowels and impart tone of
vigor to the whole body. The conviction is in the
public mind as well in the medical profession that
the remedies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom
more safe, more successful in the cure of disease,
than mineral medicines. VEGETINE is composed of
roots, barks and herbs. 1t is pleasant to take and
is perfectly safe to give infant. Do you need it
DO not hesitate to try it. You will never regret it.

THERE seems to be growing impressio

THERE seems to be growing impression
in Washington that ex-Secretary Belknap will
escape conviction before the Senate. Not
that there is any doubt as to his guilt, but
because those Senators who believe that
Belknap's resignation before impeachment
took him out Of the jurisdiction of the Senate
will refuse to vote for his conviction on this
ground. There position seems very absurd
one, inasmuch as they have virtually assented
to the opinion of the. majority in this matter
by allowing themselves to be sworn and hear
the evidence.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Republicans of Cumberland County are re-
quested to send delegates to meet in Convention in
Lancaster Hail. Portland on THURSDAY, August
8, 1876, at 10 O'Clock a. m. to nominate candidates

Treasurer, and County Commissioner, to be support

Also to choose County Committee, and to act on
any other business that may properly come before the

The basis of representation will be as follows
Each city and town will be entitled to one delegate
and one additional for every sixty votes cast for Sell
den Connor for Governor in 1875, A fraction of 35

that Gov. Hayes will get $4,000 majority in
Ohio. The citizens of that state know the
man and have the most implicit confidence in
his ability and fitness for the office of chief
magistrate. The Democratic mud-slingers
are coming to that conclusion. The only OBJ
jections these fellows have recently offered
against Governor Hayes are that he wears
coat of fine cloth cut in the latest style, nice.
ly fitting pantaloons and patent leather boots.
Fortunately, there are very few people in
this country who believe that a style of raj
ment in vogue century since, a shocking
hat and thick boots are essential qualifca ions
for the Presidency.

AFTER all of the trouble and delay which
Mr.. Randall has baused by his newborn de-
votion to economy, it is very probable that
the aggregate appropriations for the current
fiscal year will aggregate nearly as much as
those of last year. By his delays it has been
necessary to make appropriations on the
ratio of those last year for one month of the
present to keep the government running.
The appropriations made by the regular bills
may be expended in the eleven months re-
naming in the present year. 1t would seem,
therefore, that Mr.. Randall had roasted his
friends to no purpose.
