candidate for sheriff. Mr.. Morse was not de-

very anxious to go to trial in the libel SUR
brought against it by Mr.. Blaine, and its allies
of the press falsely represented Mr.. Blaine as
wanting to delay the trial. The reverse is
true. The Sentinel only appeared in time to
prevent the case against it going by default,
and its demurrer is in substance that some
other Blaine might have been meant, that there
was no impu alton in the charge of betrayal,
that there was nothing TO show that Mr. Blaine
had been damaged by the article and that Ger
tain clements in the article reflected oDloquy
not on Mr.. Blaine but on some one else The
demurrer was overrued. The Sentinel Com

Another Great Cure by DIR. Gage.
STATEMENT OF oRRIN WEBER, ESQ.,,
OF MANCHESTER. n. IL.

Editor Manchester Union Permit me
through your valuable journal to make
known to the public the marvellous cure
which has been performed upon my wife,
by DIR. Gage of Concord, N. ii. For nearly
fourteen years she has been an intense
sufferer with Scrofula, which has defied the
treatment of a score of physicians-among
whom are six of Manchester's best, two of
Goffstown, and others of Concord and Bos-
ton She had also used Vegetine, Ayers
and Hoods Sarsaparilla, Fowe's Humor
Cure, etc, without benefit. We had almost
given up in despair, when we were induced
to try DIR. Gage. At that time the sores
upon her limbs were fearful, and every day
seemed a month of torture. Ulcers larger
than persons hand had eaten completely
to the bone, and the whole limb was a ter
rible sight to behold. Indeed, no one
thought it possible for her to recover, after
it existed so many years. Thanks to the
skill of DIR. Gage and our good friends who
persuaded us to try his treatment am now
able, with profound gratitude, to report her
complete restoration-the sores all being
soundly healed and not vestige of the dis
ease remaining. We certainly have abun-
dant reason to be thankful, and would most
earnestly urge our friends and the afflicted
generally to consult this gifted physician.
Very sincerely yours,
