Gents From my own sense of dutv
and upon the advice of friends | have
concluded to offer you a testimonial, pro-
claiming to the world that there is an
absolute cure for Brights Disease in its
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been aIburden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffalo
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego, Hornells-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor to obtain cure or even relief. but
all have pronounced her incurable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope of ever
being any better. We finally heard of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested to different ply
sicians that we make a trial of il; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced il a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came to Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable TO do anything for her.
we also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had a good reputation,
and made some remarkable cures, and en-
couraged US to give it a trial; SO as a last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day, l came
to your office for that purpose. | took
home two bottles ofyour KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
1t to her according to directions, and nv
the time she had taken one bottle. thera
was a masked Improvement in her condi-
tioh she acquired control of her urinary
fnctiOns, which she had not nossessed
since ceildhoOd; all bloat subsidized. sbe
began to gain In good, solid flesh, and
/ gained thirteen pounds in about three
weeks. After taking three bottles Of the
remedy, she has in this short space of
seven weeks, become fully cured Of what
was regarded q hopeless case of Brigbt's
Disease. / wish | could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and tell
them as can not in this letter, that l
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and L
gratefully acknowledge that my daugh-
ter's life and health Is due to The use of
that remedy. Yours truly,
MRS. M. j, CRANE,

Being the subject of the above testimo-
NAL, l desire to testify to the truth of its
statements, and express my gratitude to
whom 1t may be due for recovery from
this terrible affection, and to recommend
similar sufferers to make use of the same
remedy that l did.

A CHANGE NEEDED.

For many years we have longed for
q change in the national administra.
ton. The party now dominant in the
executive bureaus was at one time so
strong that its best men were not
needed to lead it to success, and
and hence those who were least fit
Tor such proportion crowded them
selves into places of honor and trust.
Maladministration and gross corrup-
tion inevitably followed, and there is
no way Of purifying the departments

a term, and the republicans then sue.
ceeded them, the change would work
AN INCALoULABLE BENEFIT

pure men as their leaders could the
opposition hope to pave the way for
their return, and the old clique, now
laden with dishonest spoils, once out
Of their places, would be forever OK

While a few personal friends of the
politicians may grieve over their dis
appointment, the great body of
THE PEOPLE WILL REJOICE
at the results Of this convention. If.
the campaign is conducted throughout
with the wisdom manifested at its
commencement, the chances are GER
tainly three out of five, and we think
five out Of seYeR, that the ticket last

WHAT THERE Is IN WHEAT.-The
wheat grain is a fruit consisting of a
seed and its coverings. All the middle
part of the grain is occupied by large,
thin cells, full of a powdery substance,
which contains all the starch of the
wheat. Outside of the central starchy
mass is single row of squarish cells
filled with yellowish material, very rich
in nitrogenus, that is, flesh-forming
matter. Beyond this again there are
six thin coats or coverings, containing
much mineral matter, both of potash
and phosphate. The outermoSt coat is
of but little value. The mill products
of these coverings of the seed are pc
culiaTly rich in nutriment, and fine flour
is robbed of n large percentage of Yalua-
bic and nutritious food Middlings not
only contain more fbrin and mineral
matter than fine flour, but also more fat.
The fibrOus matter, or outer coat, which
is indigestible, forms One-sixth of the
bran, but not One-hundTedth of the fine
flour. Wheat contains the greatest
quantity of gluten and the smallest of
starch rye, a medium proportion of
both, while in barley, oats and corn the
largest proportion of starch and the
smallest Of gluten are to be found. In
practice 100 pounds of flour make from
1873 to 137 pounds OF bread. a good aver
age being 1876 pounds; hence barrel of
197 pounds should yield 266 one-pound
