The first national convention I ever attended was as delegate at the second nomination oS President Lincoln. l was a very young man then and Sec retary of State of New York. A few of uss who were devoted adherents of Governor Seward went to Washington on the way to Baltimore to consult with him. Lincoln's nomination was assured. The only question was who should be Vice-President. There was a general consensus of opinion that 1t should be Daniel S. Dickinson. He had been a lifelong Democrat, but support ed MT. Lincoln throughout the war.
 This little incident is unwritten his tory and shows what incidents make history. MT. Seward advised against the nomination of Mir. Dickinson on the ground that we ought to encourage the loyal men in the border States who had risked their fortunes and their lives in standing by the Union. The most em- fnent representative of that class at that time was Andrew Johnson of Ten nessee, who had kept all Tennessee loyal and was the moving spirit which had contributed many Tennessee regi- ments to the Union army. He stood as a courageous, aggressive leader of that sentiment in all the border States.
 When Judge Robertson and reach ed the Convention we 1ound the mat ter settled for MT. Dickinson. We then began the missionary work imposed or us by Secretary Seward. The Con necticut delegation, headed by Cover nor Miner, immediately joined us. Int matter was finally left by the conven tion to the New York delegation, anC the nomination of Johnson was decid ed by one vote in that delegation.

Dear Madam:-Abou four years ago
struck my right leg against box and
broke the skin l used the usual things
prescribed in such troubles. but nothing
did it any good until a friend sent me
some of Mrs Joe Persons Wash which
soon cured it. About twenty-five years
ago l had typhoid fever which settled in
my left leg which made it weak. and IL
was swollen more or less all the tine.
Being in the hardware business l struck
it one day about two years ago against
an iron vessel, which broke the skin.
Feeling my danger l began to take Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy and to wash the
sore with the Wash. which soon healed
the hurt place, but my whole leg broke
out and became almost a solid sore from
half way down my leg to the toes. Ny
friends thought l was getting worse and
tried TO persuade me to stop the Remedy.
knew it was throwing the impurity from
the blood to the surface, and SO con-
tinued it, altho l got so bad off / was
confined to the house several weeks. Then
the leg began to heal and scabs a quarter
of an inch thick would form and shed
until my leg was entirely cured. 1t can
never be strong as the other leg, but it is
well and my general health is good. In
all ! took 80 bottles. and there is no cal
culating the good it has done me.
