Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount OF testimony In
favor of DR.. Schencks Pulmonic IS yrup, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretentions Of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac containing
the certificates of many persons of the highest
respectability, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians OF
acknowledged ability. SChenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment of two other remedies which Dr.schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional reme-
dies are Sehenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. BY the timely use Of these medicines, ac-
cordlng to directions, DR.. Schenck certIfes that
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
Dr.. schonck is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch SITS Philadelphia
every Monday, where all letters for advice must be
addressed,

Capt. D. w. Bohanon, prominent citi-
zen of Richmond, Va. became afflicted
with hemorrhage of tire lungs He was
advised to try PoND's EXTRACT. He
found it to be the physician ne needed, as
in every instance it at once stopped the
hemorrhaee. It was the custom of this
gentleman to carry with him small phial
containing the Extract, to use at once
when the first symptoms of his disorder
appeared. Capt Bohanon is one of the
strongest champions of PoND's EXTRACT.

attainment of the object in view. At the

nominating convention of twenty, in which
each county would be represented. There
might be some question about the propriety
of granting to a county with only eighteen
votes the sane representation granted to q
county with forty-eight votes, in which case
. different scheme could be adopted. For
instance, give to Bon Homme and Charles
Mix counties five delegates. to Armstrong,
Hanson and Hutchinson three, to Yankton
ten. The possible objection to this is tina,
Yankton county would thus have a majority
in the convention, whereas through the
other scheme of granting to each county a
representative, and apportioning the balance
Of the representation in accordance with the
republican vote, no one county would have
. majority over the others.3 We offer these
suggestions in the hope that the various
county committees will settle this matter
and give us a candidate upon whom the
party can unite. The position is an impor-
tant one and a competent,ca careful mar should
be selecsed-one who will prosecute with
ability and good judgment and who will
evoke justice in the most economical manner
possible.
