This is to certify that for the last six years have
been afflicted with severe spinal complaint so Sc
we're that have done only four weeks work in the
time and for that paid dearly in suffering have
mad three of the best physicians in the community
besides other medical advice, but with no good re-
suit During that time have had one hundred and
ninety-six bisters on my back and neck, which on
ly served to increase my misery. 1 have also had
neuralgia in the back and side, accompanied with
cold feet and hands, the suffering from which is
best knowe to those who have been in a like stua-
ton. Words are inadequate to express what have
endured. have been repeatedly advised by my
friends to apply to DR.. Libby for help, as they be-
lieVed he could relieve me, but my faith was not
sufficient and it not until he had effected per-
manent cure for my brother and was confined to
the bed with severe attack of my old complaint
sick headache that was induced to send for him;
but about eight minutes time suficed to cure
me of my Zee pticism, as well of my intense suf
fering. 1t is not for me to say what DR.. Libby can
or cannot do for others, but do know what he has
done for me. After relieving me of my pain he as
sured me with the confidence of man inspired that
he could cure of all my troubles and he has veri-
fed bis word to the letter. To-day 1 am well
woman, and can do as good days work as ever
done in my life. The doctor has given me five met
aphysical treatments and the result is astonishing
to my friends, as well as myself and I regard my
cure as near miracle as the times will allow. To
the afflicted would say, if your case is durable you
will find relief in DR.. Libbys mode of treatment.

Harper q Brothers, the publishers, have
begun to experience the unpleasant effects
of a personal campaign. A letter written
by member Of that firm to Mr.. William
Walter Phelps has just found its way into
print. 1t bears date of Mar. ID, 1883, and
is as follows:
With the instinct Of publisher, accustomed to
deal with the people rather than with privileged
classes, recognize the fact that there is no man
living more closely in sympathy with the people
than Mr.. Blaine. keep not unframed finger on
the popular pulse, which, in vigorous American
life, is generally healthy, and 1 am sure that it
beats strongly in admiration and affection for man
who has been absolutely fearless in his patriotism
Mr.. Weeds "reminiscences will be interesting as a
record Of an acute observer, but am sure that Mr.
Blaine's narrative will hold the American people
because it will be human-real flesh and blood-the
record not of Machiayellian observer; but Of an
active participation, brave fighter, and gallant
leader in the most critical events of our Nations
history.
So, when it comes quite convenient to you, wish
you would give Mr. Blaine to understand that while
the doors Of Franklin Square always stand wide
open to "them literary fellers," such as scholars
and poets and novests and essayists and travellers,
the proprietors generally go down to the sidewalk
to welcome the historian Of his time, and with
covered heads, reVently help him to unload the
manuscript from his triumphal car on the elevated
railroad. Please intimate all this to Mr.. Blaine.
You know how to do it gracefully and effectively.

misguided action of those who would aban-

the following letter to the chairman of the
Massachusetts Republican State Committee:
Dear Friead:-AsN do not know the name of the
treasurer of your committee will you hand him the
enclosed check. 1 am not prepared to abandon Re-
publicanism and go over to a party whose princi

old Commonwealth will give the usual majority for

In an interview published elsewhere Gen.
Chamberlain defines his position in the
Presidential campaign. He does not, as has
been asserted, propose to vote for Cleveland
or to desert the Republican party; but he
makes it very plain that he does not propose
to take any active part in promoting Repub-
lican success. We do not profess TO under
stand General Chamberlain's processes of
thought or his resigned indifference. If the
success of the Republican party is desirable
on any account it is worth working for, and
all the more if all expectations of political
progress and improvement are dependent
on that success. 1t was common, not long
since, to exhort men to vote as they fought,
