For twenty long years I-have suf

pain and weakness in the small of my

For a long time the horrifying

These suferings of misery and pros

four days, and l had about given up

and the rapid prostration Of my whole

While thus seeming suspended OF

commenced the use of B. B. B., the
grandest blood medicine, to me and
my household, ever used.

W~AsHIN@ToN, Aug. lG.-The President
IL a numhrr of eases has has ~reappointcd to
the sane &%.ro the same officials who were
rejected by tie Senate. I:!ia has given
rise TO a conflict of opinion in department
circles concerning the LEGALITY of such ac-
ton. Some high officials held that the
Tenure of Office act prohibits the President,
during recess of the Senate, from ~reappoint-
ing these rejected nominees, while others
take the ground that as the constitution
vests in the President the power to fill va.
cancies, he has 4 perfect right to do so. II
seems to be conceded that in the matter OF
re~appointing postmasters he can do so, as
the Tenure of Office act makes an exception
as TO them and the accounting officers can
pass their accounts, but as to the other Off
GERS, while the President may reappoint it
is questionable whether, with the Tenure
of Office act on the statute books, they can
