Mr.. J. Il. Stewart of Macon, Ga. a well
known and trustworthy gentleman, makes
the following statement: MY son, who was
between three and four years old, was all
drawn up with rheumatism, His bones were
twisted, and he was all doubled out
of shape. He suffered intense pain, had lost
his appetite, was cross and frettul. He was
reduced to a mere skeleton, and had to be
carried about on a pillow. As these cases
where the bones were twisted and the joints
were all crooked, had for years baffied the
skill of the most eminent physicians, | de
termined to use Swift's Specific, as l had
seen testimonials from men whom knew TO
be trustworthy, of similar cases it had cured.
| used two large size bottles of S. S. S. &C
cording to directions, with the most satisfac-
tory results. Ny son commenced improving
with the first dose of the medicine. His
sutferings diminished daily and his appetite
increased; he became cheerful and in good
spirits. Gradually he regained use of his
limbs, the twisted bones and joints
Strengthened out and in less than two months
ge was entirely cured, and could walk and
the about as well as anv child of his age"

Mr.. w B. FLEMING, candidate for elector

his speech at Hartford: eve ought to win
If we don't win with the ballot we will one
day win with the bayonet.' He explains in
an interview in the Courier-Journal, as fol
lows:
II did magnify the power of the ballot as
the highest expression of the sovereign will of
the American people, and in that connection
contrasted this, our ready defense, against the
centralizing tendencies, the usurpations and
the briberies and corruptions of the Republic
an party with the forcible means to which the
French had to resort against the encroach-
ments of King Louis, and our fathers against
the usurpation Of King George"
Mr. Fleming's defense, or explanation, seems
to be that he did not use plain, United States
English, but that he covered up his idea in a
cloud of historical 'hog-wash." If what he
says he said does not mean just what we said
he said-based upon report in Kentucky
