Chronic Dysentery.

Mr. James Brannan, Second avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa, writes " For two years
have been constantly troubled with a
chronic diarrhra, or dysentery, having
had, on an average, from twenty to
twenty-five passages every twenty four
hours, and every one bloody. l had
thoroughly tried alIthe prominent ply
sicians in Pittsburgh, was twice in the
West Penn Hospital, the first time thir
teen weeks, and though l left it much
better, vet in five DAYS I was as bad as
ever. l then tried two other great doc
tors in this city, and one of them finally
assured me l was not long for this world,
and advised me to write to my friends
about it. l next went to DR.. Hartman,
without the least confidence that he could
do anything for me. He examined me,
smiled, and said, he could stop the bloody
discharges in less than two weeks, which
he did with PERUNA, and l have now
been entirely well for several weeks, and
never felt better in my lif though l am
still taking his PERUNA. l will take it
whenever need medicine.
Mr. Patrick Burns; Pittsburgh, writes

chronic diarrhea. was treated by five
of the best physicians and surgeons in
the city of Pittsburgh, and with all grew
constantly worse. Finally three of them
said my only hope was an operation.
This frightened me, and went inmedi-
ately to DR.. Hartman, who has entirely
cured me with PERUNA. l have been at
WORK now for three months, and never in
my life felt better. Call and see me at

Charles Frank, of Emrichville, Jefer-

from the contents of the bowels through

effects of knife operation that resolved

IN the early days OF Lie present Dem
ocratic administration, there was pre-
tentious show of economy and loud
promises of reform in all departments o;
the government. This was especially
true of the new Secretary Of the Navy
Te give color to the belief that
wonderful things were to be accomplish
ed, his tools with commissions as lnVes
tigators, sought favor with their chiei
by finding fault with the ships being
built under contract with the navy de-
partment of a Republican administra,
ton, and especially with the Dolphin
and additional tests were demanded, ,and
adverse reports we're made. 1t was giv>
en- out that the Dolphin was built under
a contract corruptly awarded-and that
her construction was "swindle." Then
the Dolphin was rejected, the reform
Secretary refused payment, and the ship
yard of John Roach went into insolven-
cy, and the GREATEST ship-building indus
try in America was swept out of exist
ence, hundreds of skilled mechanics be
ing thrown out of employment. Now,
that the old ship>builder has been bank
rupted and irreparably damaged. and his
business utterly destroyed. Secretary
Whitney, of the Navy Department, an :
nounces that the dolphin" will be ac-
cepted, and that he is entirely satisfied
with her seaworthiness, as shown in her
recent trial trip, and does not desire any
further trial. This closes Ons of the sad
dest chapters in current history, and
stamps the protector Of the scheme to
crush out the great shjp-builder, and to
impoverish hundreds of families de
pendent upon their labor in bis yards for
support, as the vilest of wretches, un>
worthy of places in decent society. in
stead of being high in the councils Of
the nation. By the acceptance of the
Dolphin, all the charge of corruption
and intimations uf swindlng contracts
are confessed L. he utfUunded, and the
villifcation and living reports OF tie hire
lings of the Navy Department mere
manifestations IF sirulent p artisan bias.
It is beautiful administration that will
permit its officials to ruin great busi-
meas, and then make an open confession
of their infamy, without being brought
to account.

THE Committee on Privileges and
Elections of the Ohio House of Repre-
sentatives, which has been making an
examination of the election returns in
Hamilton county, made report to the
House Friday afternoon, there being a
majority and minority report. The ma
jority report reviewed the work of the
committee at length, and submitted a
resolution recommending that all the
vote of Precinct A, Fourth ward, Gin
cinnati, be thrown out, which would en-
title all but one (Col. Harlan) of the Re
publican candidates for Representatives
to their seats. The resolution also de-
clarsd the Democratic members, with
the exception of Sir Butterield, not enti-
tied to their seats. The minority report
recommended that the COMMITTEES be
given power to make thorough inyeS-
tigation of the alleged frauds. The ma
iority report with the resolution was re-
ceiyed and vote taken on its adoption
under the previous question. Two Re-
publican members-Dr Shepherd, OF
Franklin, and Watson D Johnston, OF
Huron county-voted against unseating
the members. After the resolution had
been declared adopted, the point OF or
der was raised that one less than a ma
Jority of The members elected to the Leg
islature had voted for the resolution.
After examining the rule the Speaker
changed bis decision, and declared the
resolution not adopted. The whole sub
ject was recommitted to Committee on
Privileges and Elections.
