"A CARD. That the public may not miscon-
strue the import OF "A Card" printed in The
True Northerner OF October 18th, 1877, which
reflects on the ability of the Committee to
judge OF the superiority OF workmanship be-
tween the two cases OF artificial teeth exhibited
at the late Fair OF the Van Buren, County Agri-
cultural Society, We would state that the Com
mittee who were the judges on said Artificial
Teeth" and awarded the first premium 10 DR.
C. W. Ward, did not write, CT cause to be writ
ten, the "Card" referred to above, as might be
inferred from the reading OF the same, but that
the party who was awarded the second premi-
um-namely DIR. Robnson-wrote, or caused
to be written. the card; the import of which,
as before stated. tends to cast reflection on the
judgment of the committee. That they were
not practical Dentists we are frank to acknowl-
edge, but how can it be expected that ladies'.
who have other duties to perform, (and indeed
OF more importance), will spend their time to
fit themselves as competent dental judges,
when there is no special premiums awarded for
qualify themselves for said duty, or offered
compensation for services rendered, other than
the censure Of dissatisfied competitors. If DIR.
Robinson thinks he ought to have taken the
first premium at the Van Buren, County Fair,
over honorable competition, because Of having
taken first premium at the State Fair, we will
set the facts before an impartial public and
allow them to judge for themselves. In regard
to the dental display at the State Fair, DR..
Robnson's was the only case Of "artifciai
teeth" exhibited, instead of being one among
four or five other competitors as stated by DIR.
Robinson, and other parties interested. To
prove the truth Of the above assertion we
hereto annex an official letter. written to DR..
Ward by the Secretary of the State Agrcultur-
al Society:

Now, if there is any honor attached to the
taking of the first premium at the State FAIR,
We fail to see it. Further: We are authorized
to state that had there been no names attached
to the exhibits Of dental Specimens at the
late County Fair, that DR.. Ward would have
taken first premium Gas he did, without fear or
partiality, if for no other reason than that he |
had the largest and mott perfect display OF

Science has accomplished no more wonderful

This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the sevcrest cases of Chls
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermttents is, that it contains no quiz
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before IL
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that uhas gained the reputation OF being infal-
lible. 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the ChilIs and Fever Of
the South. 1t countcracts the miasmatc poison
in the blood, and frees the system from Its lniu-
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or ennis,

tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy thah
AYERS AGUE CURE which cures them an alhc'
and protects the system from future attacks AS
preventive, il is of immense service IN nose
communities where Fever and Aguc prevails, as

toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, ana lew

We canot be too grateful for the discovery
ferings of humanity, not only in the pangs of
pain which the patient alone suffers, but in
the distress which it entails upon others.
Most every sufferer from his own personal
experience is aware that the ordinarymethods
OF treating Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica
and kindred diseases by internal medicine,
is of no avail, and so fast is this impression
gaining hold upon intelligent patients that
they demand more potent remedy. The
discovery of LAwsoN's CURATIVE was a
priceless boon to thousands who have been
cured, and the thousands who are now being
relieved of their terrible agonies bear willing
testimony to its virtues.
Here we have CURATIVE agent which
though applied externally exerts powerful
and benehcent influence on the whole nerve
syStem--a remedy of indisputable efficacy
seldom failing to afford prompt relief in
cases acute or chronic pains in the nerves
or muscles.
For every kind of rheumatism, for
Neuralgia in every Form, for nervous or
Sick Headache, for Nervousness, for
Lame Back or Side, for Erysipelas. for
Diphtheria and Sore Throat, for Chill
bIains, for Sprains Bruises, Cuts, Wounds,
for Burns and Scalds, for Toothache In
fact for all Pains, lahammatiOns and
Swellings no remedy is known which pos
sesses the remarkable healing and soothing
qualities, which is so universal in its charac-
ter and scope or SO simple and safe in its
application. For these reasons LAwsoN's
CURATIVE should have place in every
family. 1t will there prove its value in in

male labor could be used. | am aware that
the experiment has been tried, and, for some

ernment, for where the sexes have been mixed
in the employment flippancy OF manner
often occurs, and needless familiarity, which
ought not to be allowed, proving finally dis
astrous to the employer and detrimental to
the fair sex. Now, it is well-bnown fact that
thousands OF dollars are annually spent in glass
signs, advertising suburban boards, milk and
oyster signs, all OF which female labor is capa-
bic Of doing, when rightly utilized, II such
work could be done by the above labor they
would be benefited, and patrons likewise, as
agents are more or less canyassing, and the
artisan receives round figures. 1 make these
suggestions not to the detnment OF male labor,
but that they should share up On common

are capable of doing. II this should meet the
favor OF business men, why not find some in
