From the Springfield Republican,

IRON the Springfield Republican,
Edmunds is the only man who has made
gains aud he becomes more and more promi-
nent the nearer the Republicans come 10 re-
alzition of their need Although he comes
from safe and sure State, he has the vast
advantage of never having sought the place,
of being above reproach in his career, Of
having been right on all the great issues, and
OF having been the centre of no factions and
quarrels. In availability he must take the
first place, as being able to unite the factions
of New York Republicans and being accept
able to the party as whole in other States
Edmunds Is probably the only Republican
who can carry New York.

FROM THE OLD WORLD.
From the great London (Eny.) Times.

Among the many specifics introduced to the pub
lie for the cure OF dyspepsia, indigestion, derange
ments of various kinds, and as q general family
medicine, none have yet met with such genuine
appreciation as Hop Btters. Introduced to this
country but a comparatively short time since, to
meet the great demand for pure, safe and perfect
family medicine, they have rapidly increased in
favor, until they are, without question, the most
popular and valuable medicine known. Its world
wide renown Is not due TO the advertising 1t has
received; tits famous by reason Of Its inherent
virtues. 1t does all that Is claimed for II. It
discharges Its curative powers without any Of the
evil effects of other bitters or medicine, being
perfectly safe and harmless for the most frai
woman, smallest child, and weakest Invalid % use.
Few are the homes indeed where the great
discovery has not already been hailed as deliverer
and welcomed as afren1. II does what others
affect TO do. Composed of simple materials, 1t is
marvel OF delicate and successful combination.
Nothing Is wanting. Every ingredient goes
straight 10 the marx ut which 1t Is aimed, and
never falls. Pleasant TO the palate, agreeable to
the stomach, and thoroughly effective as cure, 1t
has won for Itself the confidence OF all.-Iincs,

SHEFFIELD, Eng, June {, lss2.
Sir Having suffered from extreme nervous
debility for four years, and having tried all kinds
of medicine and change of scene and air with out
deriving any benefit whatever, was persuaded
by friend to try Hop Bltters, and the effect am
happy to say, was most marvellous. Under these
circumstances feel II my duty to give this
testimonial for the benefit OF others, as may say
am now entirely well therefore can justly and
with confidence give personal testimony TO any
one wishing 10 call upon me.
Yours truly. HENRY HALL.
