THE FREE PRESS promptly acknowledged
two years ago, nearly, that it had been mis-
lead by information impaired to it and mis-
represented Maj. Mcdonald 1t disclaim-
ed malicious Misrepresentation. The edl-
tor Of TEE FREE Press has not, as the Ad-
yocate asserts it has, admitted that he
furnished the senatorial convention with
false figures whereby Hon. Isaac Strider
was defeated" In point of fact the editor
of this paper did not furnish the senatorial
convention with any figures. In response
to request he did telegraph the vote for
congressman, &c: as received from the
Clerks Office, but the telegram was not de-
livered-the convention having adjourned
before delivery could be made. The tran
script Of the total furnished Mr.. Parks, that
proved to be an incorrect publication-but
not then known to the editor to be errone-
ous-was sent to Mr.. Parks at Martinsburg'
about three days before the meeting OF the
Convention. Our explanations Of this mat
ter have been such as to convince intelli-
gent and fair men that there was no Pur-
pose on our part to deceive or mislead or
trick convention or individual. Aud, as
ten years ago we denounced severely those
who accused Us of intentional wrOng-doing
in this matter, and had occasion last week
to repeat it, we again say with emphasis,
aud it concludes the matter so far as The
FREE Press is concerned:

Food undigested, is poison. Digested, it is
life and strength. Millions of us suffer from
indigestion, but we often don't know it. We
think it is something else. Even the doctors
often mistake the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are oyerworked, who
need strength, who seem in want of proper
food, should take Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t
is astonishing what food teiH do, when prop
erly digested.
1t will make you strong, revive you, refresh
you, sustain you, make you fat, restore your
color, make muscle, brain fibre, courage, en-
durance, energy; increase your power TO
throw of disease and keep you healthy and
happy.

gestion can be cured and prevented with
