The Darkest Hour.

For period of four years I've been !, N
of q very severe and agonizing case Of salt
Rheum. which affected my hands to such an
extent that they almost become burden.
NY hand became raw and horrifying, COM
peling me to keep it covered all the time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for various
preparations but instead of benetitting my
condition, they all seemed to stimulate and en-
courage the progress OF the miserable disease
until l had about given up all hope.
But thank heaven, "the darkest hour IS Just
before day" and | am rejoiced to know that Il
positive cure has been found, which is known
rs B. b. B.-Botanic Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical curative
powers in giving me relief My hand has been
cured and resembles burnt surface alter being
healed over, more than anything else. II has
also cured my two children OF ioathsome
form of Itch which had resisted all previous
treatment. | refer to any business house in

Flesh Sloughing OF in Pieces.
For two years | have been confined to bed
with a loathsOme form o. Blood Poison, which
had about eaten me up, and and others had
no hope of recovery. For while could
neither walk, sit down, nor lie down, only IN
misery as my flesh seemed TO be falling OF my
bones in pieces as big a. hen egg. My apre-
tite was lost, my bones ached and panied me,
and friends even summed me. | used various
blood purifiers without benefit and several
physicians treated me until large sums of mon
ey had been expended, but not one particle of
good did any one give me. On the 9th OF Feb
ruarv. 1856, lIr f. K. Jackson called TO see If
| was not dead. as il was thought ! could not
endure my suffering much longer He conclu-
ded to try b. b. b on me and got a bottle from
Mr.. BrOckington, at Beaufort, ;. c., and before
one bottle had been used commenced gaining
strength, my appetite improved, sores COM
menced healing and when two bottles had been
used was on my feet and walking around to
the astonishment of everybody.

THE NOMINATIONS.

The Republican conventions last evening did their work skillfully and well. The nomi- nations are all such as will commend them selves to the voters. The nomination of Mr. Henry F. Peck for mayor was particularly wise. MT. Peck is S thorough and success ful business man, of proved executive ability, and good understanding of the city's needs. He is universally popular and will have big vote. He ought to be elected and he may be. The other nominees on the city ticket were well chosen. The town ticket deserves as hearty support as the city ticket. Both the tickets are such that the citizens, irrespective of party, can cheerfully and con- scientiously vote them. The situation this time is such that there is chance for the citizens to do good thing fer the city and town. The Republicans have given them every inducement to do it.
