The San Francisco Chronicle says the
▼eto of the Chinese bill will result in
sending solid Democratic delegations to
the next Congress from California, Ore
gon, Nevada, Colorado and Washington
territory.
There have been built since the first
of the vear 1,358 miles of new railroad,
against 682 miles reported at the corres
ponding time in 1881, 887 miles in 1880,
317 miles in 1879, 242 miles in 1878, and
190 miles in 1877.
Now they are organizing an anti-Ma
sonic movement in Maine, and threaten
to hold public meetings in advocacy of
it all parts of the State. Another Re
publican dodge. Same old story of
“good enough Morgan until after the
election.”
The indications are that the Mormons
will soon give up the practice of poly
gamy. The constitutional convention
which met at Salt Lake City Monday,
and which is composed of monogamous
Mormons, will, it is said, provide against
the further extension of polygamous
marriages.
The Boston Adtertiser thinks that the
business prospects of the country justify
every reasonable expectation. The
whole country is progressing in wealth,
and tne discouraging features of the
present situation are due almost wholly
to one short crop and the incidental re
sults.
A Northern exchange asserts that “the
condition of the freedmen of the South
offers an unequalled field for usefulness
to philanthropic millionaires.” Good
idea. All the South needs is to have
several million dollars distributed freely
amongst her people. Send down your
wealth, gentlemen.
The general opinion is that the reason
why the* House of Representatives has
disapproved of the restoration of the
franking privilege is that the Congres
sional elections are so near The tempta
tion to transmit soiled clothing to the
wash through the mails was great, but
the idea that if it was indulged in it
might lead to retirement to private life
overcame all other considerations.
Senator Vest, in a report on the claim
of Dakota for admission a3 a State, holds
that its concession would lie an outrage
to the Constitution; that the proposal to
take anew census of its population
would only favor misrepresentation of
the fact, and that the admission of Da
kota as a State, upon the record and
history presented, is the endorsement by
Congress of repudiation so shameless
and unquestioned that it can find no
plausible excuse in this body or even in
the community where it was perp trated.
The new Chinese bill which was in
troduced in the House last Wednesday,
was intended to meet the objections to
the vetoed bill. It not only limits the
term of suspension of immigration to
ten years, but it provides that each Chi
naman already in America at the time
that the bill became a law, shall be per
mitted to register his name and furnish
a full descriptive list of his physical
peculiarities. Upon doing this, he shall
receive a certificate of registration,
which shall entitle him to return to the
United States, according to treaty pro
vision.
The defeat of the Readjuster redis
tricting bill in the Virginia Senate, by
which it was hoped the Mahoneites
would secure eight of the ten Congres
sional Representatives from that State,
is a severe biow to the President as well
as to the little repudiation leader. The
former committed the Federal administra
tion to repudiation to secure partisan su
premacy, and the other promised to hand
over the Old Dominion to her enemies
for a mess of political pottage. Both
have been disappointed and cheated out
of the anticipated reward of their crook
ed bargain.
The Medical Association of Georgia
will assemble in the Senate chamber in
the city of Atlanta, at 11 o’clock on
Wednesday, April 19th inst., and con
tinue in session for three days. A circu
lar received from Dr. A. Sibley Camp
bell, the Secretary of the Association,
states that the comm ttee of arrange
ments have adopted a programme for
the entertainment of the members, which
will insure a most agreeable reunion,
during the three days of the session.
Among the social events of the occasion
a grand banouet, complimentary to the
Association, on Thursday evening, the
20th inst, is announced.
That was a terrific and remarkable hail
" storm which occurred at Dallas, Texas,
on Tuesday morning last It is stated
that it lasted fifteen minutes, and came
so unexpectedly as to cause intense as
tonishment, as up to a few minutes pre
vious, for wholly three hours, the sun had
been shining brightly. The fall of hail
was preceded ty an appalling roar and
accompanied by the densest masses of
black clouds and powerful wind. No
such large hail stones were ever known
by any one in that section —they ranged
from the size of a walnut to base balls,
and many still larger ones were picked
up measuring over ten inches in circum
ference. Teams ran away in the streets
and many persons were knocked down
and dangerously injured. The damage
to buildings in Dallas will aggregate
many thousand dollars.
On Monday last several interested
member? of the Chamber of Commerce
met and discussed the advisability of
memorializing Congress against anti-
Chinese legislation. Mr. Charles 8.
Smith volunteered to seek the co-opera
tion of the leading commercial houses
in New York. Drawing up a petition,
he sought the signatures of influential
men in commercial and financial circles.
His efforts were more successful than be
had anticipated. The petition asserted
that any legislation restricting or ob
structing Chinese immigration to this
country would be an affront to a
friendly nation, would occasion retalia
tory measures, and largely reduce, if
not utterly distroy the growing com
merce of the United States with China—
a commerce which promises to reach
enormous proportions in the near future.
The injury which would be done by an
anti-Chinese bill, avers the petition,
would be irremediable. Mr. Smith said
on Wednesday that on all sides there was
a hearty indorsement of the petition, and
a decided willingness to sign it. Among
the signers of the document are all the
hftnka in the Clearing House Association
with but four exceptions, over ninety
per cent of the dry goods trade, all of
the tea, sugar, and iron trades, over
seventy-five per cent of the insurance
companies, and a majority of the leading
houses in other blanches of trade.
Alleged Election Frauds in Sooth
Caro Una.
The recent letter of United States At
torney General Brewster to Mr. Dallas
Sanders, United States District Attorney
at Charleston, instructing himtd proceed
forthwith to prosecute certain Demo
cratic election managers in that State for
alleged violation of United States elec
tion Jaws, was simply the dying effort of
the Radical party to maintain itself in
power by a revival of sectional hate.
That it has already failed ft its purpose
is evident. True, the prosecutions are
being proceeded with, and before they
are concluded someone or more of the
election managers may perhaps be con
victed in the United States Circuit Court
of that State. Nevertheless the object for
which these prosecutions were ordered
has not been realized. It was hoped that
these trials would revive the waning
fortunes of the Radicals by, once more,
bringing the sanguinary undergarment
prominently into notice. Yet, not
withstanding that a few stalwart jour
nals have feebly seconded the efforts of
our bloodthirsty Attorney General of
the dinner plate coat of arms, by allud
ing to “Brewster’s tricks in South Caro
lina,” etc., the Northern heart has not
been fired, and refuses to beat responsive
to the tune of sectionalism.
The cause of this is self-evident. Just
after the war, naturally enough the peo
ple of the North felt embittered against
the South, and were ready to approve
any act or deed which would lead to her
humiliation and mortification. Hence
it was that the Moseses, the Pattersons,
the Chamberlains, and other bright and
shining lights among the pious and vir
tuou9 Republicans, were upheld in power
by the administration and the Republi
can party, and given carte blanche to
prey to the utmost upon the people
of South Carolina, while upon others
of the same stripe were conferred like
privileges in other Southern States. At
length, however, the Northern people
found that this condition of affairs
affected them almost as injuriously as it
did the South, since, under it, the South
c iuld not prosper, and with the South
despoiled and poverty stricken, an undue
proportion of the national burdens fell
upon Norttern shoulders. This touched
the Northern pocket and quickly opened
the eyes of our brethren of that section
to the fact that promoting sectional hos
tility was a very unprofitable business;
that the interests of the various sections
of the Union were mutual, and the wel
fare of any one was largely dependent
upon the prosperity of the remainder.
Asa result of this conviction on the
part of the North, Grantism was, in
1876, given its quietus, and the people of
the country, both by the choice of a
Democratic Congress to succeed an
overwhelming Republican majority in
that body, and by the election of Mr.
Tilden to succeed Grant, plainly declared
that they were wearied and disgusted
with sectionalism, and were heartily
tired of the old stale grindings of the
Southern outrage mill. Brewster, how
ever, is such a dyed-in-the-wool Bourbon
that be can forget nothing nor learn
anything. Hence his inability to see
that sectional animosities belong to a
past age so far as the people are con
cerned, and hence, also, the reason why
his feeble attempts to reinaugurate
Grantism have so signally failed.
But the superb impudence as well as
infamy of this effort of Brewster to
revive G rantism in South Carolina, and
africanize the State, is made strikingly
apparent when we reflect that even were
the election managers nowon trial guilty
of the offenses alleged against them, they
have been merely executing the villainy
which they have been taught by Mr.
Brewster’s own party. A contem
porary recalls to mind the fact
that during the days when
Radical leaders, such as ex Governor
Moses who have since become felons,
had full possession of the political ma
chinery in our sister State, it was a very
common matter for the ballot boxes to
contain more votes at elections than
there were voters. This was the usual
practice of tne very party now so vir
tuously indignant over imaginary Demo
cratic frauds of like character, and to
meet the emergency of the case, the
Republican Legislature of the State en
acted the following law, recorded on
pagel7l,vol xv., South Carolina statutes:
“If more ballots should be found, on
opening the box, than there are names
on the poil-list, all the ballots shall be
returned to tne box and thoroughly
mixed together, and one of the managers
or the clerk shall, without teeing the bal
lot*, draw therefrom and immediately de
stroy as many ballots as there are in ex
cess of the number of names on the poll
list.”
When this Republican law is read,
and it is remembered that the chief charge
against the present managers of elections
in South Carolina is that they have been
guilty only of an act legalized by the
very men whom Grant maintained in
power at the point of the bayonet, the
flagrant hypocrisy and impudence of the
administration in instigating these trials
are plainly manifest. True, followers of
Republican practices should, under the
strict operation of justice, be, as a
rule, immured within the walls
of a penitentiary. Nevertheless we
venture to assert that such a scene as is
now being enacted in the Federal courts
of South Carolina —via.: the criminal
trial, by a political administration, of a
set of men charged oniy with doing
what the very party t which the admin
istration belongs had previously legal
ized—could be witnessed in no other
country of the civilized world.
Improvement of Mississippi River
The bill for the improvement of the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers has been
taken up in the Senate. This bill was
reported from the Committee on Im
provement of the Mississippi river, and
appropriates $•'5,000,000 for the Missis
sippi and $1,000,000 for the Missouri
river, the money to be expended by the
Secretary of War, and according to di
rection and plans of the Mississippi
river commission. As it contains, how
ever, a proviso to the effect that the ap
propriation shall not be used for
the construction of levees, this
clause is anything but satisfactory
to the majority of Congressmen from
the Mississippi valley. A determined ef
fort to remove the restriction, or at least
greatiy modify it, will be made, as many
believe that only by a thorough system
of levees can the low lands along the
“Father of Waters” be protected. The
bill will meet with stout opposition, and
especially will any effort to devote the
appropriation to levees be fought. It is
contended by the opponents of the meas
ure that the States which suffer from
overflow should construct the levees ne
cessary to prevent it, while in behalf of
the proposition to impose this duty upon
the General Government it is claimed
that the States cannot afford to perform
a work of such magnitude. This bill
will claim the attention of the Senate for
some days probably.

The Bureau of Statistics furnishes some
astounding figures regarding the growth In
the manufacture of oleomargarine and the
effect it has on the dairy interest. Ia 1878
the amount of oleomargarine exported was
only 1,698,401 pounds, but last year it was
more than 26,000,000. On the other hand,
the amount of butter exported in 1881 was
21,331,358 pounds, while the vear before it
was more than 37,000,000. Thus oleomar
garine is exported more largely than butter.
Perhaps that would not be so very unpleas
ant, but the home consumption is also
rapidly gaining the ascendancy. The oleo
margarine factories of New fork have a
producing capacity of 116,000,000 pounds
annually, while the production of dairy
butter is only 110.000,000 pounds, and the
consumption of the manufactured article is
gaining upon that of the dairy at a moat as
tonishing rate. Oleomargarine is not manu
factured to any extent in the West, but its
substitute there U tne infinitely less whole
some lardine. In another year or two the
Bureau of Statistics will have an equally in
teresting tale to unfold regarding ita con
sumption and Bale unless something is done
to check it.

FLORIDA CANAL.
Barge Lines the Solution of the
Cheap Freight Problem— Necessity
of their lucrease and Extension to
the Atlantic—Growth of the Grain
Trade.
By a Staff Correspondent.
In discussing the merits of a barge canal
across the Florida peninsula by way of St.
Mary's, Okeflnokee, Suwannee and St. Mark's
westward to New Orleans, we designed to show
the vast superiority of this route over all other
possible canal routes across tbe peninsula, and
also to exhibit barge transportation as the
coming method of commercially draining the
great valley, because it will prove the cheap
est and most efficient. In reference to the
first, we have shown that it is the shortest line
from tbe Mississippi to practicable harbors on
the Atlantic, and that in point of economy,
without comparison, costing only a fraction
over seven millions of dollars, while the cost
of a ship canal exceeds fifty millions. Neither
is it possible for a costly ship canal across the
peninsula at any point further south, to com
pete successfully With a barge canal through
Okeflnokee at such small cost, and when we
consider that a company chartered by the
State of Georgia, aßd looking for further char
ter by Congress, already controls the summit
level water supply of thischep barge route. w
are brought to the conclusion that all proposed
canals across the Florida peninsula, having in
view westward extension to the Mississippi,
must ultimately be merged into it. A ship ca
nal further south on the peninsula might, in
deed, be a great advantage to heavy sea going
vessels having now to pass the dangerous
straits of Florida. hut with a short line barge
canal through Okeflnokee. stretching far north
on the Atlantic and bringing the commerce of
the Mississippi into the safe harbors of Bruns
wick. Savannah and Charleston, there would
be little need of such vessels proceeding to the
Gulf through the ship canal or anv other route
Granting, however, that the grow*h of
the country will be such as to warrant
a ship canal. evn at so great a cost,
it would not diminish aught of the trade and
importance of the barge canal. To say nothing
of the advantage of its connection with the
Mississippi vallev. the barge canal will reclaim
in Georgia and Florida alone fertile lands more
than sufficient to pay its entire original cost,
and find abundant means for its operation in
the redeemed and settled up countries, In their
heavily timbered forests, and in the products
brought down by navigable rivers in its course,
even if it should never transport a
barge from the Mississippi river.
It* length of six hundred and twenty
miles spans the semi-tropical State of Florida,
skirts the southern boundary of Georgia, ab
sorbs the east bound freights of Alabama. Mis
sissippi and Louisiana, and would he a paying
investment absolutely excluded from the bene
fits of ail trade with the Central Mississippi and
the Northwest. What it offers to those regions,
therefore, is th gratuity of great natural ca
pacity and convenience of location. It will not
need the trade of the Northwest, but that trade
will need it, as we shall see further on.
In regard to barge lineß as the most economi
cal and efficient means of accommodating the
future great trade of the Mississippi valley, we
have already alluded to their springing sud
denly out of the necessity of competition with
the costly Northern railways penetrating the
granaries of the Northwest,, and perhaps we
cannot better fill a part of this space than to
quote tbe following in reference to their grow
ing importance:
"Transpertation by barges on the Mississippi
river,” says the New Orleans Times, “has be
come the solution of the great problem of re
storing to the river its position as the great
highway of the West. The palatial steamers
that float on its waters and once monopolized
the freight and passenger traffic of the Missis
sippi valley, having found themselves unable
to compete in cheap freights with the rail
ways, and still less unable to compete in speed,
were placed at a great disadvantage, and
forced to abandon all transportation business
except tha’ which the railway could not reach
or did not possess the ability to carry.
“This city, for years without a railway reach
ing out to the rich and rapidly growing regions
of the West North-west, and finding commerce
diverted more and more from the river route,
seempd to have left hut one hope and that wa
to restore to the river the capacity to transport
freights more cheaply than could be done by
the railways The success of this problem has
been found in the harge line
“Now. a small, cheaply handled, but power
ful steam tug, with a very smalt crew, will
move upon the river in one tow six enormous
barges, carrying at least 40.000 bushels of
grain each of an aggregate of a quarte- of a
million bushels as a single cargo. The ma
chinery for doing this business is so simple
and inexpensive, when compare! with ihe
palatial steamboats of the old style, w-ith their
costly appointments and their numerous crews
that once would have been required to do the
work, it is readily seen how vast a reduction
of expense has been accomplished The barge
system is. however, merely in its infancy, and
without doubt it has capabilities that have not
v.t, been reached, so that, it is fair to sunpo-a
that the minimum of cost for transportation on
toe river has not yet been arrived at. and still
further reductions will in time be realized.
“The impotence, then, of the barge lines
can scarcely be overstated, and it will be of in
terest to know something of the extent of their
operation for the coming season’s business
Two important companies have recently been
consolidated with greatly increased capital and
greatly enla-ged facilities for doing the work.
Besides the present fleet of the combined pro
portion*, which consists of thi-feen towboa's
and eighty-nine barges, the company have con
tracts made for an additional fleet, which will
swell their total tonnage to twenty-three tow
boats and one hundred arid sixty barr< s, with
a capacity of 3,000,000 bushels of grain for
single trip, and a capacity for an average *ea
son, according to estimates, of 100.000,000 bush
els. The people who are at the head of tM*
enormous enterprise do not propose to make
these preparations fornothing. They are going
to do the business they are prepared for. Th- y
know just what they are doing, and have the
canital to carry out their designs.”
According to the official report bf General
Gillmore the leading object to be secured
through this barge canal is the cheap andsa f e
transportation, in unbroken bulk of the sur
plus produce of a very large proportion of the
Western and Northwestern States by means of
the Mississippi river, and a secure land locked
water rouse r* a convenient harbor on the A*-
1 antic coast for export to foreign countries, or
for consumption in the Atlantic States, the
necessity for larger facilities for such trans
portation becoming more serious and impera
tive every year, in proportion a the population
of the agricultural States and the area of land
brought under cultivation increase.
That the surplus grain crops <-f the West and
Northwest can and will be exported to Europe
hy way of the Florida peninsula barge canal, at,
less cost than by the Northern railways, or by
any other Northern line of transportation, ap
pears unmistakably in the fact that any and all
possible water routes along the great lakes and
the St. Lawrence river and the Erie canal, are
habitually closed to navigation for five months
in the year, and that in the very midst of the
market season for exporting grain; while the
Northern railways, even if not bound up by
snows, as often occurs, are compelled by their
costly operation to charge higher rates than
obtain on water transiK>rration.
Thus it appears that in May. 1881, Mr. White
reported to the New York Board of Trade and
Transportation the result of his examinations
of the facilities for exportation, as follows:
“The rate per hushel for freighting from St,
Louis to New Orleans by barges is aboutseents
(now, August Ist, it is only 3 cents and can be
carried at a profit for IV4 cents), while the pool
rate by rail to New York from St Louis (less
mileage than the river transportation to New
Orleans) is 20 cents per bushel. The rate of
freight from Nw Orleans to Liverpool is
about 6 pence per bushel, and from New York
to Liverpool pence.”
So that grain is carried from St Louis to Liv
erpool via N*w Orleans for 17 cents per bushel,
while, to transport it to Liverpool via New
York costs cents per bußhel. These differ
ences in cost of transportation created the
mammoth barge lines floating upon the bosom
of the Mississippi, and are now compelling
hundreds of exporting vessels to leave New
York in ballast for New- Orleans, in order to
load with grain for Europe.
If these vessels find it profitable to double
the Capes of Florida, going one way in ballast,
risk the danger of the straits, paving heavy
insurance, for cargoes of grain in New Orleans,
what must be the importance and p-oflts of a
canal delivering those cargoes in a safe 4tl in
tic port, secure from the ice-clogs of rigid wai
ter, the shipwrecks of Tortuga n reefs, and the
long endured burden of high imuirarca risks ?
But Mr. White’s investigations did not end
here. They revealed that the “shipments of
grain alor.e had more than doubled during tbe
previous year,” while there was a correspond
ing increase of flour, cotton, cotton seed, oil
cake, wool, meats, e*c., indicating a bulk of
freight to be moved from the grpat vallev. that
would, in all probability, have remained long
out of market but for the fortunate introduc
tion of the Mississippi barges, eight or ten of
wh eb, carrying each fifty thousand bushels of
grain, can be taken in tow by one little, inex
pensive steamboat.
The general increase of grain alluded to in
1880, with corresponding other articles, con
tinued in 1881, and in 1883, with favorable sea
sons, will be still greater, taxing to their ut
most capacity already organized lines of
transportation, and exhibiting further evidence
of tbe necessity for speedy opening of the At
lantic and Gulf Barge Canal, in order to meet
the exigencies of the future. L. O. B.
How an Empty Stomach Saved a
Life. —No regiment from New Hamp
shire suffered more in action than the
1 welftb, and a narrower squeak for life
than that of Captain—but better known
as Elder—Durgin, is not often recorded.
In one of the many engagements that
the Twelfth participated in he was struck
by a bullet which literally bored a hole
through him just above the stomach. He
fell amid a heap of killed and wounded,
and was left tor dead on the field. A
column of the enemy advancing with a
quick step moved directly over the
ground, and as they were marching by
he was barely able to make a motion suf
ficient to attract the attention of a Con
federate Captain, who stopped, looked at
him pityingly, and said: “Poor fellow,
you are booked through. I can’t help
you, but I’ll at least put you out of the
way of further harm;” so, suiting the
action to the words, he took him tender
ly in his arms, carried him some dis
tance to one side and placed him in a
sitting posture with his back against a
tree. This saved his life, a9 he was
shortly afterward found, treated for his
wound, and ultimately recovered. The
surgeon said that had he had his break
fast that morning he would assuredly
have been killed. ‘Thirty-six hours’ ab
stinence, being short of rations, had con
tracted the stomach and saved his life.
So the Elder lives and is the life of tbe
annual reunions. — Manchester {N. II.)

Capital Crimes In San Francisco.
San Francitco Call, March 31.
In view of the many murders commit
ted in this city, particularly of late
years, and the few legal executions that
have followed the unlawful taking of
human life, the New York prisoner’s re
mark, “Hanging is played out,” will ap
ply to San Francisco. ’How many homi
cides have been committed in this city
sunce California was admitted into the
Union, in 1850, it is impossible to ascer
tain, as the records thereof are incom
plete, but it is known that during the
past decade they have averaged twenty
five a year. A carefully prepared record,
collated from official records of the num
ber of legal executions and the number
of convictions for homicide of various
grades in San Francisco since the State
became one of the Union, shows that in
all sixteen legal executions have taken
place. One more would have beer
added to the list, but the night before the
day set for execution the prisoner com
mitted suicide. This prisoner was Geo.
W. Coimere, who strangled Bridget, Col
mere. his wife, to death in April, 1862.
He killed himself February 5, 1864.
Besides these, there were eight execu
tions by the Vigilance Committees of
1851 and 1856—four bv each. Those
executed were John Jenkins, hanged
•Tune 11, 1851: James Stuart, hanged
.Tulv 11, 1851; Robert McKinsey. alias
McKenzie, and Simuel Whittaker,
hanged August 24, 1851 Charles Cora,
for the murder of General Richardson,
and James R. Casev, for the murd°r of
James King, were hanged May 22. 1856.
Philander Brace, for the murder of Jos.
B. West, and Joseph Het.heriDgton, for
the murder of Dr. Andrew Randall'
and Dr. Baldwin, were hanged July 29,
1856. A total of one hundred and thirty
nine persons have in a period of thirty-two
years suffered imprisonment for homi
cide where the conviction was less than
that carrying with it the penalty of
death Since the organization of the
Supreme Court there have been thirteen
convictions in Department 11 and six
teen in Department 12. Of these there
were murder in the first degree fourteen,
murder in the second degree two, man
slaughter thirteen. Four were sentenced
to be hanged, but in none of these cases
has the penalty been inflicted. Six were
sent to prison for life, and the others
were sent for terms ranging from three
to twenty years. There are now thirteen
individuals in the countv jail awaiting
either trial, sentence, or the action of the
Supreme Court in relation to the appeal
they have taken. There is no means of
approximating the number of slayers
who avoided arrest, or who, being ar
rested, managed to get out on straw bail
or became insane.
In the Senate of New York recently, a peti
tion was presented from George Bowman, of
New Jersey, alleging that Mayor Grace is an
alien, and not authorized to hold real estate,
hut that be has hid In and secured posses
sion of $2OO 000 worth of Bowman’s prop
erty, and that ex Insurance Superintendent
Smyth and Judge Westbrook are implicated
in the matter. He asked the appointment
of a committee cf investigation. After
discussion the whole subject was tabled by
t he casting vote of the President.

SALT RHEUM
On Face, Head, and Parts of Body, Head
covered with Scabs and Sores, Cured
byCuticura Remedies,
I commenced to use vour Cu-rrcußA, Cuticura
Resolvent (blood purifier), and Ccticura Soap
last July. My face and head and some parts of my
body were almost raw. My bead was covered with
scabs and sores, and my suffering was fearful. I
bad tried everything I had beard of in the East
and West. My case was considered a very bad one.
One very skilful physician said he would rather not
treat it, and some of them think now I am only
cured temporarily. I think not, for I have not a
particle of Salt Kbeura about me, and my case is
considered wonderful. My case has been the means
of selling a great rnanv of vour Cuticura Remedies
In this part of the country.

SCROFULOUS SWELLINGS
of the Neck for Five Tears Cured by Cuti
cura Resolvent.
About ten months since I sent to Portland and got
the Cuticura Remedies, as X had been urged to do
by my sister living in Boston, who knew the origi
nators of them. I had been suffering for five years
with hard, discolored swellings to my neck about
the size of a large butternut. 1 used them faithfully
for five weeks, and then was overjoyed to find the
swellings reduced in size, and my appetite, strength,
and spirits improved. In three months more the
swellings were all gone away, the flesh was soft and
the skin natural. It seems that the Resolvent
went to the very spot, and actually dissolved the
lumps of humor, and carri<?d them off.
Gratefully yours,
J. 8. MANCHESTER,

RUNNING SORES
On the Leg Seven Years; Treated by Phyal*
cians and in Hospitals without
Cure.
I had running sores on my left leg for seven yearn,
which reduced my limb to simple skin and bone, ana
unable to support ray weight unless swathed in band
ages. A consultation of physicians at the City
Hospital of Boston decided that it would have to be
amputated to save my life. Such was my condition
when 1 began to use the Ccticura Remedies,
which have effectually cured me, in gratitude foA
which I make this public statement of my case.

MALIGNANT CANKER
For Years A terrible Case Cured by
Cuticura Resolvent.
I feel that I must write you what your Cuticura
Resolvent has done for me. I have had Canker of
the Mouth and Stomach for years. It seemed as if
my whole inside was covered with wHlte festers.
I could not keep any solid foods on my stomach,
and my mouth ran water all the time. I was in
great distress nnd had no hope of cure until I got
hold of the Resolvent, seven bottles of which
cured tne of every symptom.
