NERVOUS PROS1RATlON.
Boston, Mass, \
MR.. A. L. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir:

Boston, Mass, Nov. 3, 1890.
MR.. A. L. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir:
My son, twelve years of age, has.been suffering
from shock to his nervous system for about
three years. His nerves were entirely shattered
so that we could not keep him In school for any
length OF time. Neither doctors nor medicines
did him any good. but he grew steadily worse, and
finally had species Of st. Vltus dance. At last
we gave up every medicine, and began giving him
Murdock's Food. He soon began to improve.
After taking two large bottles he gained strength
enough to enter the Boys Latin School. Greatly
to our surprise and that Of his former teachers he
has managed to attend that school constantly
without single absence for the last two months
He shows no sign Of breaking down again, and Is
on the road to complete recovery. HIS improve
ment is due entirely to Murdock's Food, and we
propose to continue its use till he is the strongest
member Of the family.
Yours very truly,
G. F. 0RDWAY,
10 Doane street.

ALL ADMIT THAT
PARALYSIS

Is the worst of all diseases to cure or relieve,
as the system Is dying by degrees, first the
muscles, then the nerves and tissues, and not
vitality enough exists to stop tue decline, and
death follows in few days or months.
We have published few from the many hun
dred cases that we have restored to health, who
were suffering from this lingering life, and
none more interesting or chronic than the follow
ing:
The daughter OF Mr.. Charles f. Hayden. High
land street, West Roxbury, July. 1888, aged six
had an attack of Rheumatic Fever, followed by
Spinal Meningitis, ending In Paralysis, with loss
OF use OF both legs, arms and back. Recovered In
four TO five months the use Of all but her right leg
which she has had no control OF since, and has
been in hosDital for treatment two weeks and
discharged with right foot wearing iron shoe,
and straps of iron jonted at the knee, worn night
and day. and wall ed with erutehes. Returned In
two weeks to Hospital for an examination Of the
full board Of surgeons and pronounced ineurable
and discharged as such. Since then has been I'M
der the medical treatment of nine Of our leading
physicians and specialists, but no relief. Her
leg has stopped growing, being not more than "a
to 40 OF the other In diameter, and was llfeless
and cold up to Aug. 1, 1890. Then she COM
menced taking four teaspoons OF Murdock's Liq-
uid Food daily, for two weeks; then took double
the quantity. or four dessert spOonfuls daily and
abandoned her iron shoes at night, which had
made sore on her thigh; after two weeks more,
abandoned The iron shoe day times; two weeks
later abandoned her crutehes for two canes; two
weeks later abandon d one cane, and now never
carries any in the house or on her walks, but
when playing in the fields carries one TO catch her
self with in case she makes misstep on the I'M
even ground. She has gained in weight and
health, now sleeps well and her limb is restored
10 normal health. She walks without hmping
and is as well as children in general, with no ex
haustion or tired feeling from the leg.

Probably the Bath Times never saw an
election in this state where there was vote
Tor the candidates for certain offices and also
a vote upon another question, the adoption
OF local time for instance, where small Eyes"
and mo" ballots were deposited in sepa-
rate box. If it had witnessed such an event
it is more than probable that less about the
"rattling" of voters under the Australian
system would have appeared in its columns
than has of late. Out of fifty men In such
an election as that referred to under our
system, perhaps ten would deposit both bal
lots where they belonged and where the
voters intended them to go. The other forty
wonld either vote "yes" when they meant
mo" or would put the small ballot in the
large box, or would put both the other box,
or would drop one or both on the floor. With
crowd of men pushing to reach the ballot
box there would be no time to rectify the
mistakes and the 'per cent. of defective
ballots" that the Times likes SO well to talk
about would be very large if any record of
mistakes were kept. CUnder the Australian
system there is peace and quietness. All
ballots are on one piece of paper and If a
man does not see his duty at glance. he
may be Informed in regard to it or may have
it done for him by proper officials. When
the Times next has multiple election"
within its bailiwick we recommend a tour of
inspection of the polling places, and a
series of interviews with ward officers to our
able contemporary.

the Australian Law for Benefit
of Election Judges.
City Attorney Holman yesterday rem
dered the following very clear state
ment of the registration law for the
benefit of those judges who last Tues
day demanded removal certificates from
those seeking registration. He writes:
There are two provisions in the cleo
ton law which seem to require explana-
ton. l refer to sections sixty-siX 1857
and sixty-nine (69) of chapter three 81
of the Laws of 1888. known as the Aus
tralian election law.
First-Section 66 provides substantially
that the board of registry shall transfer to
the registers of election the names of ali
persons residing in the present election dis
tricts, whose names appear i'll the poll list
used in the district at the last preceding cleo
tons as having voted thereat, except such
as are known to the board to have since
died, removed from the district or become
disqualified. 1t is important that this re-
quirement should be observed by the Judges
of all the election districts in the city. so as
TO insure a full registration. The law seems
to require the transfer of these names

to be made on the first registra-

ing which expressly prohibits the trans
fer to be made on the second registration
day. All names of persons appearing on the
poll list to have voted at the last election
should be transferred, whether known to the
judges or not known, except only such as
are known to have since died, removed or
become disqualified.
gIt.gfollows from this that the names of
many persons will appear on the register
without the personal appearance OF those
persons before the board. The law makes it
the duty of the board to erase from the regis
ters the name of any person inserted therein,
whether by transfer from the poll list or
personal registration, who shall be proved on
the oath of two (2) qualified electors OF said
district 10 the satisfaction of the board,

district at the ensuing election The names
Of. such persons may be reinstated on cleo
ton day by presenting the affidavits required
in section seventy-three (13) In some cases
it will be necessary to use several poll lists
ofthe preceding election to obtain the names
to be transferred to the register; in others.
only part of the names contained in the
poll lists will be entered into the register.

said register until he produces certificate of
removal, to be given to him by the
board of such other district. ~ This section.
in my opinion is intended to cover all cases
of removal since the last election. Many
reasons could be given to sustain this con-
struction. if time and space permitted. The
experience of the first registration day has
convinced all that this section, under exist
Ing circumstances, is impracticable, and in
many cases impossible of execution.
am OF the opinion further that this re-
quirement is not matter of substance, but
merely directory: and that a failure to fur
nish the certificate will not inyalidate the
registration. The law does not require the
certificate OF removal to be filed with
the city clerk. nor the county audi
tor, nor are the judges obliged
to keep record of the fact that the certif-
cate was furnished. If this provision is en-
forced, hundreds of votes will be dlsfran.
ehised, and our registration viii fall far
short of what may be fairly expected.
For these reasons I would suggest
that no certificates of removal be de-
manded at this election, but that in
every case where a person appears person
ally for registration, the oath prescribed by
section 66 be administered. | may add that
l make this suggestion at the instance of rep
resentatiyes or the executive committees OF

large number of the judges of election
