The Republican papers have been pub

a number of prominent Irish Democrats

The Bolting Republican*.
The bolting Republicans are in earnest
in opposing Blaine. They do not mean to
content themselves with simply protest
ing against hit election and with relusing
to vote for him. They propose to make an
active canvass against him. They in
clude some of the ablest and most Influen
tial men of the Republican party. As
the campaign progresses their strength
will increase. They will influence
to a large extent the Inde
pendent vote, and as their position
becomes more clearly understood there
will be accessions to their ranks from the
Republican party. The address read at
their New Y'ork conference on Tuesday
states their position very fully. They do
not intend to abandon their party. For
Congressmen and State officers, where
the nominations suit them, they propose
to act with the Republicans. They raise
the standard ot revolt only against the
national ticket. It cannot be charged
that any of them are influenced by mer
cenary motives. If Cleveland is elected
it is not probable that one of them will
get an office. He will not have places
enough to satisfy the demand of his own
party. The bolting Republicans are
undoubtedly sincere. They can Dot
conscientiously support Blaine and
Logan, and they have the courage to say
so. The position they have taken empha
sizes the issues on which the Democrats
are conducting the campaign. The peo
ple will have it pressed home on them,
time and again before the campaign
closes, that honest methods in the admin
istration of the government and honest
men in the offices are absolutely necessary
to the stability of tree institutions and the
prosperity of the country. The Republi
cans will try to avoid the questions which
involve the wrong-doing of their party and
the characters of their candidates, but
they will not be permitted to do so. They
will discuss the tariff and cry out against
alleged lawlessness in the South, but
they will not be able to make
the people overlook the tact that they
are called on to decide whether or not
they shall have an honest government
administered by honest officials..
The revolt in the Republican party is
bound to be one of the great features of
the campaign. Its progress will be
watched with constantly growing in
terest. It is already formidable in New
York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
It is certain to contribute a great
deal towards helping the Democrats
carry New Y'ork and Connecticut,
and it may even give them Massachusetts,
though that is extremely doubtful. The
Democratic party, however, ought not to
place any dependence on the Republican
bolters. It ought to conduct the canvass
as if it expected no help from them.
The Convention.
The Congressional Convention of this
district Las begun balloting, but as yet
there is no indication when it will make
a nomination. The twenty-third ballot
yesterday left the convention divided
about as it was when the first ballot was
taken. It may be that a choice will be
made to-day, although there is no par
ticular reason for thinking so other than
that the delegates, by the time they
.take twenty-five or thirty more ballots,
will see’ the uselessness of con
tinuing to divide up their votes
among four candidates, giving to each
enough to prevent any one from getting
the requisite two-thirds majority. With
out questioning the merits or claims of
any one of the candidates from the
country, we have expressed the hope that
the nomination would be given to this
county. Savannah has some very im
portant interests before Congress, and
while any representative, doubtless, that
the party may select would look alter
these interests diligently and wisely, we
cannot help thinking that a Savannah
man would meet with more success id
looking after them because of his
better understanding of them. Of
course, other sections of the district have
interests which must be looked after, but
they are not as great as those of this city
at this time. We hope, then-lore, that the
convention In making a nomination will
give the claims of this county all the con
sideration to which they are entitled.
Dudley and Ihe Prohibitionists.
Commissioner of Pensions Dudley, it
seems, did not exhibit hi 9 usual astute
ness at Pittsburg when he attempted to
influence the delegates to the Prohibition
Convention to indorse Blaine and Logan.
Gen. Dudley has the reputation of being
an unusually bright politician, but
even the brightest and shrewdest
politicians sometimes make mis
takes. That the Blaine managers seek
the help of the Prohibitionists
shows how desperate they consider their
situation to be. It the Prohibitionists
nominate a separate ticket, which in all
probability they will. Republican su
premacy in several Western States
will be endangered. With a Prohibition
ticket in the field it is not at all prob
able that the Republicans can carry In
diana. It is not a matter of
wonder therefore that Gen. Dudley
is anxious to have the Prohibition
ists lend the Republicans a helping
hand. If Indiana goes Democratic his
public career will come to a full stop for
awhile. But would an indorsement by
the Prohibitionists help Blaine? Would
it not help to drive from him the anti-
Prohibitiou vote? That is a matter for
the Republican leaders to consider, and
as the pi ospects of the Republican party
are rather gloomy they can hardly neglect
to consider any matter that bears upon
the canvass. The Prohibitionists claim
that they will poll somewhere near 1,000,-
000 votes. If they do at least two-thirds of
them will be Republican. The Prohibi
tion party is pregnant with danger to
Blaine.
Avery sad story comes from London.
The King of the Maoris has a button in
his stomach, and he does not appear to be
making any progress in digesting it.
Able physicians refuse to give an opinion
respecting the effect ot the button on the
King’s digestive apparatus. The situa
tion is painful to contemplate. With a
buttoned up digestion the King is in a
bad fix. The story of the way the
button got into the King’s stomach is
very interesting. It may be well to state
that he is in England to get redress for
the land grabbing outrages of the English
colonists in New Zealand. Since he has
been in London he has shown a great de
sire to see everything that has anything
mysterious about it. He was invited to
visited the celebrated mind reader, Mr.
Bishop. He accepted and was one of
quite a numerous party. Mr. Bishop
requested him to conceal some
object, fix his 'mind upon it,
and said that he (Bishop) blindfolded
would discover it at once. King Tawhaio
selected a huge button and concealed it in
his mouth. When it was announced that
the King was ready fot the test, Mr.
Bishop at once declared where and what
the object was. The King was so sur
prised that he opened his mouth quickly,
at the same time throwing back his head.
The button slipped into his throat, and as
the doctors.couldn’t get it out, they forced
it down into his stomach. The King is
now more anxious to find someone who
can fish the button out than he is to know
more of mind reading.
The people of Boston and Hartford have
just discovered that watermelons are
easily digested when taken a9 the first
course at the breakfast table. The best
time to eat watermelons is about half an
hour beiore dinner—then they never trou
ble the digestion, and it has even been
hinted by good old Georgia housewives
that when eaten at that time the appetites
of the eaters lor regular dinner are hap
pily curtailed. This is advantageous both
to guests and hosts, and, besides, the mel
ons are more enjoyable then, especially if
they have been kept over night on ice or
in a spring-house.
Blaine and Logan are entitled to the
credit of changing letters of acceptance
into stump speeches. Blaine’s letter con
tained about 6,000 words, and Logan’s a
thousand or two less. Lincoln’s first letter
of acceptance contained about 100 words
and his second less than 200. It took
about two minutes to read Grant’s letters.
But nobody doubts.that both Grant and
Lincoln said all that there was any oc
casion for saying.
Old Time Stump Speaking.
It has been proposed to abolish cam
pain stump speaking altogether. In fact
the newspaper letter baa been usurping
the place of speeches for a good while,
and in many parts of the country the
stamp scarcely exists, even in name.
This is to be regretted, especially among
Georgians, who remember with pardon
able pride the old-time tournaments of
mind, in the lists of which appeared
Troup, Clarke, Johnson, Toombs.
Hill, Stephens, and a host or
other men who were giants
in those days. People have a pardonable
desire to see and hear their leaders, and
while the daily pres# reaches probably a
hundred persona now where It reached
one forty years ago, people are not much
more thoroughly posted on the great polit
ical questions than they were then. Men
who read the newspaper articles of those
days had facts and arguments indelibly
impressed on their minds by the public
discussions, and besides they were given
an opportunity to see just how their lead
ers met their opponents in debate. It is
claimed that the standard of statesman
ship was higher in the ante helium days
than it has been since, and if this claim is
well founded, no doubt the abandonment
of the old-time canvass has had mueh to
do with it.
Men were then judged more by their real
merits, and did not gain advancement so
much by the influence of powerful triends
or the tricks of petty politicians in cau
cuses and conventions. The canvass of
their counties by young men ot talent
fitted them for wider fields in the Con
gressional and State campaigns. While
there was necessarily a good deal of bom
bast and spread-eagle oratory, a man to oc
cupy a high position was obliged by study
of history, law. and general literature to
acquire at least a creditable degree of
culture, and to display some considerable
ability to rise into prominence.
Perhaps there was too much talking in
the legislative bodies of those days. The
same is true of the present; and if we are
to be deluged with talk why not have it
flavored more with the spice of reason
and adorned with the graces of oratory?
If really talented men speak the patience
of the country will not be overtaxed. It
is the schools of ambitious small fry that
fill the records with commonplace compo
sitions and sophomoric efforts, and these
would be left at home or awed into silence
it our legislative halls were well supplied
with statesmen and debaters.
One point not to be overlooked is the
grand barbecues and political meetings
which were one of ihe pleasant leaturesof
life in Georgia !n the old days.
A regular system of stealing the bodies
of infants has been exposed at Randall’s
Island, N. Y. It appears that certain
undertakers have for some time been in
the habit of taking the bodies of children
entrusted to them for burial, and for
which service they had been paid by
private parties, to the public cemete
ries, where they were interred as
paupers at the expense of the county.
Several instances of the kind were brought
to light lately. In some cases the costly
clothing and caskets containing the re
mains were stolen by the undertakers. If
the charges made against these under
takers are true they 6hould be visited with
the most condign punishment. It would
seem that nothing short of tar and feath
ers and the lash would meet the demands
of justice.
It is said that Lulu llursFs entertain
ments in New York netted her father
$4,000. That is considerably more, per
haps, than Mr. Hurst has made out of his
Georgia tarm during the last ten years.
It is also said that the slender young man
who introduces Lulu to her audiences has
fallen in love with the Wonder and wants
to marry her. The old gentleman, how
ever, thinks that while Lulu is drawing
in the shekels so rapidly they had better
delay the matrimonial part of the pro
gramme.
It is stated that New Y'ork theatrical
managers have organized a ring to re
duce salaries of actors during the coming
season. This reduction cannot be laid to
the charge of cheap foreign labor while
Patti and Nilsson, and all the rest of the
stars, want from $2,000 to $4,000 a night.
The Bay State Club of Boston has been
cordially indorsing Cleveland and Hend
ricks. Among the most telling speeches
were those of Patrick Maguire and
Michael Fitzgerald, and yet the Republi
can papers talk about the Irish giving
their support to Blaine.
CURRENT COMMENT.
• No Hiding Place for Fraud.
Xew York Evening Post (Ind. Hep.)
There is no ranc.lie or other hiding place in
the world in which a man can wait for Blaine
and the Mulligan letters to “blow over,” for
they will never blow over until justice be
done.
We Don’t Want the Earth.
Boston Post (Pern.).
Gov. Hoadly and his law part ner have both
expressed the opinion that Cleveland will
carry Ohio. Well, now really, we don’t want
the earth. In fact, we would be perfectly
satisfied with 250 electoral votes for Cleve
land. But if Ohio wants to jump on to the
Democratic triumphal car no present occu
pant will want to push her off.
Not Democratic Taxation.
St. Louis Republican (Dem.).
The Democratic party does not believe in
levving taxes primarily for the benefit of one
cla## at the ex|>ense of others, whether such
taxes be levied uuder the guise of protection
or not. Whenever there can be a test of
opinion on this subject with all considerations
of policy and party exigencies eliminated, the
minoritv which dissents from this view will
be found to be quite inconsiderable.
Which Horn of the Dilemma?
Xevc York World (Dem.).
It is really about time the Blaine people
should reach some definite understsndn g as
lo whether they arc standing on the Chicago
platform or Jingo BLinc’s letter. The plat
form says: “The Republican party pledges it
self to reduce the surplus.” Blaine's “high
water mark” letter savs we will not reduce
the t-urp'us. “Not a dollar has been wasted,”
and we will take eare not a dollar shall be
wasted if we once get our Mulligan fingers on
the magnificent fund.
Dishonest and Corrupt Candidates.
Baltimore Sun (Dem.).
There have been persons nominated and
elected whose political abilities were so small
as to lead some of their own party friends to
thiuk and say, as Webster did of the Whig
nomination in 1848, that it was not fit to l>e
made. But never before this time have a
reallv considerable number of his party ad
herents publicly declared their conviction
that the candidate was dishonest and corrupt.
That circumstances should have existed which
have given it color among those who, from
past affiliations and party sympathies, would
prefer to be friendly rather than critical
judges, is a cause for regret, whether the
belief be itself well or ill-founded.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
OF Washington life it is said that nearly
everybody either boards or keeps boarders.
Prohibitionists auctioned off the last glass
of beer found within the limits of the town of
Bonaparte, la., for $1 25. -
Db. John Chatman (of Paris), who went to
Southampton during the cholera epidemic of
1965, produced astonishing recoveries from the

The Irish peasantry are noted for their
beautiful hands. Whether potatoes, poor liv

the hand we know not, but the Irish lass has
a well-formed anil a pretty hand They area
smatl-hanued people, no matter how much
they wash, iron, cook or dig; the English, on

so are the Scotch.
French newspapers give piquant points to
their assaults on the Gladstone policy in
Egypt. One of them says the flight of the
English soldiers at Tel-el-Kebir was only
checked by the weight of gold m their knap
sacks. La Prance says Gen. Gordon invited
an Arab to breakfast and then amused him
self by running a fork repeatedly into the
body of his guest.
AN English paper says that “during the first
introduction of cholera into St. Petersburg in
1832 a highly respectable firm of -iron founders,
emploving 500 men, informed them that all
thoae who would not take a teaspoonful of
powdered charcoal on entering the work* in
the morning must leave their employ. What
was the consequence? They did not lose a
single man, when myriads were dying around
them.”
Bishof Warrzn, who returned recently
from Mexico, was struck while traveling in

Ix the distant island of Malta some work
men have made the notable discovery that
petroleum fumes are injurious to health, a
statement which they advance as a sufficient
reason for demanding higher wages. There
must be something in the Mediterranean air
that sharpens the senses and the mental per
ceptions, for such an argument has never
occurred to the thousands of workers in petro
leum in this country. On the contrarv. it ha#
generally been considered that the fumes of
petroleum, when not in excess, were effica
cious in driving awav malaria and zymotic
diseases. These ills of humanity are almost
unknown in the oil regions, where the odor of
crude oil is all-pervading.
The headquarters of the gamblers in Paris
is a beer shop in the Faubourg St. Denis,
where, in the last fortnight in June, all the
shady knights of baccarat assemble. The
house looks very tidy and respectable, and no
games are allowed there bnt backgammon and
dominoes. Numbers who frequent this cafe
are not aware that they are in a den of card
sharpers. The latter," the philosophes, and
their collaborators, styled in England "bon

act their little business, and make their ar
rangements for the season, without paying
anv attention to the detectives, one or two of
whom are always present in a disguise that
never deceives those interested.
A CURIOUS incident occurred at Kingston,
N. Y., on Saturday afternoon last in connec
tion with the severe rain and hail storm that
visited that section of the Hudson Valley. Im
mediately after the heavy fall of hail a son of
Mayor Bray, of Kingston, went to the lawn
fronting the handsome residence of that offi
cial anu shoveled up three brimming pailfuls
of the iev chunks, some of which were over an
inch in diameter. He then placed them in a
tub with an ice cream freezer, and in a short
time the Mayor, his family, and a few invited
guests sat dotfn and partook of several quarts
of ice cream thus frozen from hailstones which
fell from the sky during a midsummer shower.
It is safe to say that this is the first case on
record where a Mayor has feasted on ice
cream made under similar circumstances.
Abbas Pasha, somewhere about 1853, sent
a challenge to the Jockey Club to run any
number of English race horses against his
Arabs for a sum not less than $50,000. The
.Jockey Club is a society, and could not ac
cept such a bet: but some merchants at Cairo
made a bet with his son Haleem Pasha, who
inherited his father's stud, which cost nearly
five millions of dollars to collect and breed,
to race eight miles for s2,' 00 a side. The Cairo
merchants sent to Englaud and bought from
l'attersall an Irish mare, Fair Nell, without
a pedigree, which he had used as a park and
covert hack. The race came off within two
weeks of her landing in Egypt, and in the
eight miles she beat the Pasna’s best Arab,
over a rough, stony ground, by a full mile,
doing the distance in I*4 minutes, and pulling
up fresh.
At a seance in Dublin, a thought reader
boasted that he could find a marked pin hid
by one of the audience. Several of them came
forward, among whom was a confederate.
The pin was hid by a Trinity student in an
adjoining room, in the presence of the com
mittee, among which was the confed
erate. The student, suspecting this man
from his looks, slvly took away the pin from
its hiding place. On the return to the plat
form the thought reader gazed in the hider’s
face, and putting his hand to his brow, was
blindfolded and Ted tlie student to the hiding
place, but of course could find ny pin. Ho re
turned, acknowledging his defeat, and look
ing daggers at the confederate. “Now, gen
tlemen/’ said the student, “I’ll undertake to
say that if this ‘diviner of the human mind'
will do as I tell hint half the audience, with
out a single hint from me. will know where
the pin is,” and, turning to ihe thought reader,
he said, “sit down.” He did so. There was
a yell, and jumping up, the thought reader
hastily pulled from the seat of his trousers
the marked pin.

A famous Prussian General was inspecting
some military stables. “What do I see there,”
he said, in tones of thunder to a Sergeant—
“cobwebs?” “Yes, sir.” was the respectful
replv, “we keep them there to catch .the flies
and prevent their teasing the horses.”— Ex,

“Oh. yes. it's Boffin, the awf'lly rich bone

A colored man was at police headquarters

afore noon.” “Got a job for the afternoon?”
“No, sah, but if de pusson who stole dat boss

The well-known Henry Erskine once met
an acquaintance, a barris'ter, who dealt in hard
words and circumlocutional sentences. Per
ceiving that his ankles were tied no with a
silk handkerchief, Erskine asked the cause.
"Whv, my dear sir,” answered the wordy
lawyer, “I was taking a romantic ramble in
mv brother’s grounds, when, coming to a
ga’te, I had to climb over it, by which I came
in contact with the first bar,-and have grazed
the epidermis of the skin, the accident being
attended with a slight extravasation of
blood.” “You may thank your lucky stars.”
replied Erskine, “that your brother’s ‘gate’
was not so lofty as your style,’ or you must
have broken your neck."
A Boston editor says that Ben Butler is
not onlv entitled to the votes of the people
because he Is the nominee of the Greenback
partv, bnt because, being the nominee, he is a
true’patriot. The idea of Butler having a
double claim on the suffragans reminds us of
what happened in Austin last year. An unat
tractive exile, accompanied by a hand organ
and a child, was giving the usual street per
formance. After the musician had twisted
one of Beethoven's symphonies out of the ma
chine, the urchin took up a collection in a tin
cnp. One kind-hearted man dropped a nickel
in the cnp, but the urchin said: “I vants
anoder nickel.” “How so?” “Dot nickel vot
you put dot cup in vos for de moosic.” “Well,
why do vou claim another nickel ?” “Pecause

THE OFFICEHOLDERS MUST 00.
A Revolution to Come Whether Cleve
lsnd or Blaine It Elected.
For the first time in the history of the
Republican party, says a Washington
special to the Philadelphia Times, the pos
sible advent of anew Republican Presi
dent by election is looked forward to by
Republicans and Democrats, the Ins and
the outs, aa a revolution. Among Federal
officeholders in Washington the proapect
of Blaine is regarded in very nearly the
same light as the probability of Arthur
was regarded during Garfield’s protracted
illness. Arthur represented that wing of
the Republican party that was out of
power and which had a special grievance
against the wing in authority. The revo
lution which was Anticipated came. It
was begun immediately by the Garfield
Cabinet being remanded to private life.
Blaine himself was humbled and humilia
ted because Blaine represented the head
and front of the liberal opposition. The
process of overturning what Garfield and
Blaine had begun at home and abroad
thus opened went briskly forward, until
the new President conceived the idea that
be had a chance for the Presidency from
the hands of the people direct. Then the
stalwart policy was suddenly changed,
and stalwart councillors were cast over
board and Arthur became a trimmer.
The speculations thus early on foot with
regard to Mr. Blaine mark out for him a
radical policy, so far as the Federal pa
tronage is concerned, scarcely less impor
tant in its bearing on the “Ins” than
would be the policy of Mr. Cleveland
should he succeed Mr. Arthur instead ol
Mr. Blaine. The principal objection urged
against Cleveland at Chicago came from
the strikers and heelers ol the Tammany
class of the Democratic party, and was
that Cleveland was too conservative. He
would promise nothing. He was a re
former and because of his well-known
reputation as an anti-spoilsman he was
supported by George William Curtis
and the Massachusetts Republican Inde
pendents. A term for Cleveland, it was
alleged, would be practically, so far as
patronage was concerned, another term
for Arthur.
This plea (for or against Cleveland, as
you look at it) is quite well understood
by Washington officeholders. They are
inclined to look at these things from the
standpoint of personal interest, the same
as the Democratic spoilsmen looked at
them when they opposed Cleveland at
Chicago. The rank and file know they
will be quite a9 safe under Cleveland as
they could be under Blaine. Those who
occupy the “soft snaps” are as well
aware that their heads are in as
much danger trom Blaine as from
Cleveland. Blaine would be a revo
lution because he represents the op
posite of the party in power. He aud
his friends were "revolutionized out of
office by the very man and his friends
whom Blaine will succeed. Y'ou might
as well expect Colonel Tom Bayne to fix
and perpetuate the Cameron dynasty in
Pennsylvania, if he had the power, as to
expect James G. Blaine to foster and
protect the men in public office who have
spent their vacations, their wind and
money to decry him and defeat his Presi
dential aspirations—who have triumphed
over the grave of Garfield. Stick a pin
here. They will have to go, They know
it. It is in the atmosphere. Blaine or
Cleveland will be all the same to them.
Behind them stalks the headsman.
VANCE .AS A JOKER.
Three Anecdotes of the Popular North
Carolinian.
Vance, of North Carolina, is a large,
heavily-built man, with a heavy gray
mustache, a twinkle in his eye, and a
lover of a joke that knows no limitation,
says an exchange. He is an inexhaustible
story teller, and he is rarely caught with
out some retort or repartee at hand. A
newspaper man telling him one day that
he was about starting for a rather out of
the way portion ol the Senator’s own
State, and was asking something about
the accommodation he was likely to find.
“They’ll give you some ol their fried hog
and etrgs,” he replied. “That’s better
than nothing,” said the newspaper man.
“I don’t know—l don’t know,” the Sena
tor answered in a dubious tone. “I’ve
tried both.”
Vance was in the Southern army, and
is a little lame as the result. He was in
one of the battles before Richmond, where
the fighting wa9 particularly hot. A
start ed rabbit appeared for a moment on
a fallen tree, and then, at a murderous
discharge of musketry, darted like an ar
row for the urderbrush. General Vance
had noticed him, and as he flew for cover
the General called out, in a manner that
left no doubt as to his absolute sincerity:
“Go it, cotton-tail! If 1 hadn’t a reputa
tion to maintain I would run too.”
One ot the liveliest campaigns that was
ever carried on in North Carolina was the
one in which Vance and Judge Settle
competed for the Governorship. They
carried on a joint debate. All the white
Democrats turned out to hear Vance, and
all ihe colored Republicans to hear Settle.
On one occasion, at the conclusion of
the speaking, Vance was informed that
there were some charming young
ladies who desired to testify their
devotion to the Democratic party by
kissing the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. Nothing loath, Vance descended
from the platform and kissed a dozen or
so young beauties from the Old North
State, when he paused long enough to
turn around toward his competitor and
shout: “Settle, I’m kissing my women;
you kiss yours!” On account of their
race and previous condition of servitude,
Settle did not kiss the feminine Republi
cans.
BEAUTIFYING THE CAPITOL.
The Marble Terrace and a Grand Stair
way Which Will Outrival Anything of
Its Kind.
Workmen are now busily digging down
aud hauling away the beautiful terrace
which slopes up to the front of the north
or Senate wing of the capitol, preparatory
to continuing the marble wall which is to
be built entirely around the wings and
west front, says a Washington special to
the Philadelphia Times. The embank
ment will be dug away close up to the
capitol wall, which is about 60 feet from
the marble terrace that is being con
structed. The terrace will be of various
heights, sympathetic with the embank
ment. Between the terrace and ihe
main wall of the capitol will
be a fine promenade, whose tiling
will cover numerous large storage rooms.
From this promenade there will be a
splendid landscape in view in every di
rection. When completed, the terrace
will add greatly to the height and general
appearance of the capitol, |wbich now
seems too low on account of the large
area over which it spreads. At the cen
tre of the west front will be the grand
stairway. Which will outrival anything
of its kind in the world. The Senate ap
propriated $778,000 for the work, intend
ing that that should complete it and that
labor upon it should not cease until it was
completed. The House cut the appropria
tion down to $60,000, which will hardly
complete the two hundred feet that 6till
remain unfinished in front of the north
wing.

remedies fail.
Will McDonald, 2542 Dearborn street. Chi
cago, gratefully acknowledges a eure of Sait
Rheum on head, neck, face, arms and
legs for seventeen years; not able to walk
except on hands and knees for one year: not
able to help himself for eight years; tried
hundreds of remedies; doctors pronounced his
case hopeless; permanently cured by Cuti
cura Resolvent (blood purifier) internally,
and Cuticura and cuticura Soap (thegreat
skin cures) externally.
Chas. Houghton, Esq., lawyer, 18 State
street, Boston, reports a case of Salt Rheum
under his observation for ten years, which
covered the patient’s body and limbs, and to
which all known method# of treatment had
been applied without benefit, which was com
pletely cored solely by the Cuticura Beme
dies, leaving a clean and healthy skin.
F. H. Drake, Esq., Detroit, Mich., suffered
untold tortures from a Salt Rheum, which
appeared on his hands, head and face, and
nearly destroved his eyes. After the most
careful doctoring and a consultation of physi
cians failed to relieve him, he used the Cuti
cura Remedies, and was cured, and has re
mained so to date.
Mr. John Thiel, Wilkesbarre, Pa., writes:
I have suffered from Salt Rheum for over
eight years, at times so bad that I ceuld not
attend to my business for weeks at a time.
Three boxes of Cuticura and four bottles of
Resolvent have entirely cured me of this
dreadfnl disease.
