MEsRRs, CUES & Co,-Gentlemen. My
wife and myself have been using your To-
dide Ammonia Liniment for some time,
and find it the best article of the kind we
have ever tried. As you do not advertise
it as eficacious for burns, I thought
would advise you of its great value in that
direction. A servant 10 our house burn
ed the back Of her hand severelyone morn
ing recently and came to my wife saying
she could not flush her work she was In
such pain. My wife tied a baudage wet
with your Liniment about the injured
hand, which on the first pp,ication started
the tears to her eyes, She went about hel
work. an hour or 80 later she came &c
our room, minus the bandage, and my
wife asked how her hand was--She hao
forgotten that it was burned. MY wifi,
has burned her fingers several times, af
ways applying your Liniment. and never
feeling pain or inconvenience from th.
burn after. In strappipg my TazoI
q few mornings since, it slipped aud mad,
deep cut in my left thumb. / .imme
diately applied the Liniment. il, the cut
quickly healed without q particle of sore
ness. j give you the relation Of eur ex'
perienee for the benefit of the public. W
shall never be without the Iodide Ammo
nia Liniment so long as it can be purchas
ed. Very truly yours,

and Deoatur ESQ fusion.
DEs MONIES, Oct. 9.-Up to midnight
the State Register has special dispatches
giving pretty nearly complete return:
from fifty counties. In these counties
the net republican majority is 1854. This
is a republican gain Of about 1000 ovel
the vote for governor last year, The
Register estimates that the same proper
tionate vote over the state as compared
with last year will make the majority il
the state about $4,000. In the Seventh
congressional district, Gillette, greenback
democratic candidate, has 836 majority,
with one county (Adair) to hear from
which will reduce his majority to 600.
LANSING Iowa, Oct. 9.-Returns so fal
are meagre, but sufficient to indicate The
election of O'Donneh to congress. ALA

ie majority. Pur9y and Dayton, demo
Gratis, are probably electsd to the legisla
ture.
