KNATB BBFEB9 BPOFFORD’s CREDENTIALS TO GOMMITTBB ON ELECTIONS, BY A VOTE OF 36 TO 33, DAVI8* VOTING WITH THE DEM OCRATS—SENATE BY 31 TO 36 REFUSES TO REQUIRE COMMITTEE TO REPORT ON 8POF" FORD BY A GIVEN TIME—ADMINISTRATION SENATORS VOTE WITH RlPUBLICANS. SENATE. Washington, October 18.—Daring the oruing hour a number of bills were n- roduoed and referred to appropriate com- ittees. Among them was one by Mr. Chris- ianoy, of Michigan, to enlarge the jaris- iotion of the Court of Claims. At the expiration of the morning hour the Senate resumed the consideration of the resolution submitted by Mr. Thur man yesterday, to have the oath admin istered to Spofford as Senator from Lou isiana, pending the question being on the substitute of Mr. Mitchell, to refer his credentials to the Committee on Privi leges and Elections. The Louisiana question oooupied the day. Spofford’s credentials were referred to the committee. Mr. Edmunds withdrew his motion to discharge the committee from further consideration of Kellogg’s credentials. Pending question ana withdrawal of the credentials of Eustis from the oommittee were presented by Mr. Thurman. The debate continues of a technical character, giving no indication of how the Senators will vote on the direct question. ' The vote by which Spofford’s credentials were referred was 36 to 33,Senator Davis, of Illinois, voting with the Democrats in the negative. WHEN SHALL THE COMMITTEE BEPORT ON 8FOFFORD ? Special to Enquirer-Sun.) Mr. Whyte, of Maryland, submitted the following as an amendment to the resolu tion referring to the credentials, etc : “And that said oommittee report there on on or before the first day of November 1877.” Mr. Mitchell, who is acting chairman of the committee, said he was afraid that would not give the committee time enough. Mr. Whyte spoke in favor of his amend meat, and said the Kellogg case was re ferred to the committee last March. Since then events in Louisiana had crystalized ko that the whole matter was now em braced in a very narrow compass; that it should not take any committae longer than two or three days to settle the whole matter. The chairman of the committee, Mr. Morton, was now ill, and if the corns mittee was not instructed by the Senate the investigation might be postponed un til his recovery. Mr. Wadleigh, of New Hampshire, said if it was expected by the Senate that the decision of the Committee on Privileges and Elections in this case should be final, it was asking too much of the Committee to report by November 1st. It might be that he, as a member of the committee, would not come to the conclusion that the removal of a State Government in Louis iana by military force could settle for the Senate the question of who was entitled to a seat therein. He did not think the White League of Louisiana, with its bay onets, revolvers and gnus, could deoide for him who was entitled to a seat in the Senate from that State. But for the pres sure of that League, the Paokard Gov ernment would have remained the Gov ernment in fact, as he believed it was in law. He argued that the proceedings under which Kellogg was eleoten Senator were valid and correct in form. The tes timony in the Louisiana case covered thousands of pages, and the committee could not examine all of it and report to the Senate by November 1st. Mr. Edmunds inquired of the Senator from Maryland (Mr. Whyte) if he had any knowledge of the Senate having adopted a resolntion instructing a com mittee when to report. He (Mr. Edmnnds) had been taught believe that the adoption of snoh resolution would be virtually affront to the committee. The Senate might as well say that the committee should report immediately, as to say it should report by the tirBt of November, Was it now thought best not to inquire anything about who was the legally elect ed Senator from Louisiana, but to take the last chap who appeared as the true saint? That might be Democratic doc trine, but he did not agree to it. The redresB for any undue delay of a commit tee was found in the rules of the Senate, which authorized any Senator at apy time to move that a committee be dis charged from the further consideration of a subject, if he thought there had beeD unnecessary delay in considering it. Mr. Gordon, of Georgia, inquired if any day could be fixed for the oommittee to report on the credentials of Mr. Spof- ford. Several Senators on the Republican side—“No, none whatever.” Mr. Thurman said at no timesinoe 1873 had the State os Louisiana more than one Senator on this floor. He referred to the various investigations in regard to that State, and said now, after all these years of inquiry, we are told that this able com mittee cannot make a report by the first of November. Every material fact was before the Senate already, and Sonators were simply shutting their eyes to the testimony to say they could not decide this oas4. What was the reason for this attempt to postpone the matter? Was it intended to postpone it four years ? Was there a dread of a collision upon the rail road, if there was no dread of the smash ing of cars as they come head to head on the same traok ? He could not see why it was so essential to postpone the matter. Mr. Edmunds said he did not under stand what the Senator meant by his paraphrase about railroads. Mr.Thurman said he would never attempt to elplain anything to the Senator from Vermont, which a man of the moRt ordi nary comprehension could understand. Such an attempt would be an insult to bis intelligence. Mr. Edmunds said the Senators on his side of the Chamber were not runners of any railroad at all. They always labored to promote the interests of the people according to law, and did not act like some others to cover up differences. Liberty of opinion had always been con tended for on his side of the chamber. Mr. Whyte, of Maryland,said he agreed with the Senator from Vermont, that it wan a very uncommon thing to order or direct any committee of the Senate in regard to its duty, but it was a parliamen tary usage and parliamentary bodies bad ordered committees to take oharge of matters, retire from the ohamber and submit its report immediately ; so it was not such a hienous offenoe to instruct a oommittee. So far as intending any dis - respect to the committee, be bad no each thought, and he trusted his reputation for politeness in the Senate wonld do away with any snoh ideas. He aobmitted bis amendment for the re&Bon that the Chair man of the Committee on Privileges and Elections (Mr. Morton) was lying ill at bis residence in Indiana, and all regretted that it would not be possible for him to be here daring the extra session of the Senate. Mr. Edmunds—Yes, but there is always chairman. Mr. Whyte—Yes, but there is always a delicacy which prevails in this body, and I offered the resolution instructing the committee to relieve the Senator from Oregon (Mr. Mitchell), the vice chair man, who might feel a delicacy in calling the oommittee. Mr. Whyte then argued that the facts in this Louisiana case to be obtained were so few that they could easily be examined and understood. The Kel logg case had already been examined, and if half an hour each day should be de voted to the investigation of Mr« Spot- ford’s case, the committee could report by the first of November. He submitted his amendment to instruct the oommittee in the interest of peace, so that the era of good feeling now dawning might be pro moted, and this everlasting Louisiana contest be got aut of the way. He had no motive except for the public good. Mr. Edmunds argued that this was the first instance in the hi-tory of the Senate of the United States in which an attempt had been made to instruct a oommittee to report upon an important qnestion within a given number of days. Mr. Wadleigh said the Oommittee on Privileges and Elections bad examined the credentials of Mr. Kellogg and they were prepared to report that Mr. Kellogg had a pnma facie case, and was entitled to his seat. Mr. Saulsbnry, of Delaware, said: As a member of the Oommittee on Privileges and Elections he did not regard the mo tion of the Senator from Maryland to in struct the oommittee as an affront to that committee. He did not belive any delay was necessary to enable the oommittee to report by November first. It had been said that the oommittee was prepared to report in favor of seating Kellogg, but be desired to state there was a minority re port to be submitted. The motion of Mr. Whyte to instruct the committee was rejeoted: Yeas—Bai ley, Barnum, Bayard, Beck, Cook, Davis of Illinois, Davis of West Virginia, Den nis, Eaton, Garland, Gordon, Grover, Harris, Herford, Hill, Jones of Florida, Kernan, Lamar, McOreery, McDonald, McPherson, Maxey, Merrimon, Morgan, Randolph, Ransom, Saulsbnry, Thurman, Wallace, Whyte, Withers—31. Nays—Allison, Anthony,Blaine, Booth, Bruoe, Burnside, Cameron, of Pennsylva nia; Cameron, of Wisconsin; Chaffee, Christiauoy, Conkling, Conover, Dawes, Dorsey, Edmunds, Ferry, Hamlin, Hoar, Howe, Ingalls, Jones, of Nevada; Kirk wood, McMillan, Matthews, Mitohell, Morrill, Oglesby, Paddock, Patterson, Rollins, Sargeaut, Saunders, Spencer, Teller and Wadleigh—36. Note—The above is telegraphed as bearing upon the question whether Louis- isiana will secure a Senatorial representa tion this session. TRIENNIAL EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. question or Political Speeches - Thin aud Other Hlatten Tabled. Boston, Ootober 18.—Mr. Harris, of Tennessee, offered a resolution that the Convention should call upon oertain mem bers to explain their action daring the recess of the Convention in makiug po litical speeohes among their political friends in the city. Mr. Harris said that the gentlemen guilty of this gross of fence were of high character. Among those to whom the resolution ap plied were Hon. Montgomery Blair, of Maryland, and ex-Gov. Stevenson, of Kentucky, who spoke at the Demooratio rally last night. Upon tae resolution being read the gen eral cry was made to lay it on the table, and others that it be voted open. It was finally declared to be oat of order. The report of the committee on canons deeming it inexpedient at this time to bind the Hymnal with the Book of Com mon Prayer, was adopted in cononrrence with the action of the House of Bishops. The subjeot of arranging a speoial form of service to bo used on the 4th of July as long as it remained a legal holiday,waa got rid of by being laid on the table. WASHINGTON. STATUS OF LOUISIANA SENATORS NO NOMINATIONS—APPEAL OF SOUTH AND NORTH (ALABAMA) RAILROAD TO SUPREME COURT—ALL REPORTED QUIET ON TEXAS BORDER—IMPROVEMENT TO BE MADE AT PENSACOLA NAVY YARD—A. A. WILEY, OF TROY (ALABAMA), ADMITTED TO SUPREME COURT. THE LOUISIANA 8ENATOBSHIP. Washington, October 18.—The status of the Louisiana Senatorial question at the adjournment yesterday was, first Thurman’s motion to seat Spofford. Fol lowing Ibis, but taking precedence when a vote is reached, is the motion of Mitoh ell to refer tho credentials to the Commit tee on Privileges and Elections. Mr. Edmunds’ motion to discharge the Committee on Privileges and Elections from further consideration of Kellogg’s credentials, is a seperate question. Should Mitchell’s subststute for Thurman’s mo tion prevail, Spofford will go to the corn mittee. Should Edmunds’ motion pre vail, it will bring Kellogg's credentials before the Senate, while Spofford’s are before the committee. Should, however, Mitchell’s substitute be defeated, and Thurman’s original resolution be adopted, the vote will admit Spofford without re* gard to Kellogg’s credentials. The Sen ate seems to be seeking parliamentary traps for each other, and the contest will he long. NO NOMINATIONS. There were no nominations to-day, nor executive session. Tho House is not in session. Pol lion of Alabama. Roads to Na promo Court. Special to the Enquirer-Sun.) Washington, Ootober 18.—Application by the South and North Alabama Rail road Company to tho Supreme Court for a mandamns to compel Judge Woods, of the Fifth Judicial Circuit, to allow that Company an appeal from his decree of July last, in favor of the bondholders of tho Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad Company was heard.

It is learned from Senator Conover that a schooner with assorted supplies, valued at $100,000, is loading at New York for the Pensacola Navy Yard. The Navy De partment have concluded to build new machine and boiler shops there. CLEOPATRA NEEDLE. ABANDONED AT SEA BY THE OLGA—FOUND BY ANOTHER STEAMER. London, October 18—The steamer Olga is at Falmontb, and reports she was com pelled to abandon the Cleopatra obelisk off Capo Finistere, Sunday night, during tremendous gale. The crew on the craft which contained the obelisk waR transferred to the Ogla, but not until the Olga had lost her second mate and five hands, in her endeavor to resoue them. OPINIONS OF OFFICERS. London, Oct. 18.—The engineer who designed the caisson in which the Egyptian obelisk was being towed to England, and which the captain of the Olga was com pelled to abandon on Sunday night, off Cape Finistere during the storm, does not tbiuk the obelisk neoessarily lost. He expects the caissou will drift seaward and be picked up. The oaptaiu of the Olga, however, fears that the caisson was in a hopeless condition when abandoned. found. London, Oct. 18.—Tho English steamer Fitzmuurice, from Middlesborongh, for Valencia, recovered the Cleopatra caisson ninety miles north of Ferrol, Spain. Judge Loclirane'* Denial. Special to Enquirer-Sun.) New York, Ootober 18.—Judge O. A. Loohrane denies, over his own signature, that he is here to prosecute in the case of the Georgia Lottery, as was stated by the newspapers Monday. YELLOW FEVER. AT FERNANDZNA. Special to the Enquirer-Sun.) Jacksonville, Ootober 18. — Reports from Fernaudina are leas favorable than yesterday. There was one death and nine new cases last night, SHORT TELEVRAMH. The reported fnilure of the Albion Priest Work*, at Philadelphia, is nntrue. A bank officer only blnudered this time. A misunderstanding between the Em pire Transportation Company, at Phila delphia, and the Pennsyluania Railroad, was arranged by the latter paying a half million cash on account of the purchase. The Republicans and anti-Tammany Democrats of New York have nominated Judge John li. Brady as a candidate for Supreme Court. Sau Francisco Election, THE TURKO RUSSIAN WAR. Tlie Turks Admit Ttieir Terrible Defeat on Monday aud Tuesday Re fore Hare. MOUKHTAR PASHA ADMITS DEFEAT. London, Ootober 18.—An offloial dis patch from Moukhtar Pasha, dated Kars, Ootober 15th, says: “Our centre, after being exposed for four hours to an overwhelming cannonade and incessant assaults, was compelled to retreat, leaving Anlias Hill in the hand* of the enemy. Tho Russians then occu pied all the strategical points in the direc tion of Kura, to which place we withdrew with one division to prepare out revenge. Another division, including a corps com manded by Paohed Omar Kiaatn, Moussa and Ohevet Pasha, continues fao hold its positions on Tasa Dagh.” [Note.—This is doubtless the position of Moukhtar Pasha’s force which, accord ing to the latest Russian telegrams, was compelled to surrender.] Moukhtar Pnsba Hays his losses were only 800 Born De Combat, which is ob- vionsly nntrue. lie claims a regiment and a half of Russian cavalry and four battal ions of infantry were totally destroyed. Moukhtar attributes his defeat to the Russiun reinforcements and the faot that they were able to place in position 200 guns served by skilled artillerists. EFFECT Cl’ M^UKUTAR’S DEFEAT. A speoial dispatch from Vienua to the Times says • Monkhtar Pasha’s defeat leaves the Russians free to act on the wings. Further operations by Ismail Pasha against Igdyr are out of the ques tion, and if he does not retrent promptly may share the fate of Moukhtur Pasha* Aladja division. The Russian force at Ardahau, which has been kept in oheck by Moukhtar’s positions rather than by any immediate foroe, will not remain idle longer. Thus with one blow all the ad vantages gained by the Turks during the summer have disappeared, aud unless the weather aud extreme difficulty of supply ing the Russian army interfere, a march on Erzeroum may bo tried again this year.

WHAT WILL M’MAHON AND HIS MINISTRY DO? Paris, October 18.—The loft is boast fnl and threatening. The great question is, what will the present ministry, aud above all Marshal MaoMabon do? Ru mors relative to their intentions vary continually. The latest are to the effect that the ministers are inclined to resign, but it iu added that the Mar sbal’s private advices that the Marshal will only yield to the dictate* of Democ racy without breaking bis repeated pledges, but that be will accept the Left Centre if it serves itself from tho rest of the Left. It is not surprising, considering the dangerous counsel* offered the mar shal that vague rumors of coup d'etat cir culate, and that for two days business has slackened, and the situation, instead of improving, seems to be becoming more gloomy and disgusting.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT AUKICULTUKE. Washington, Ootober 18.—The cotton report of the statistician of the Depart ment of Agriculture for Ootober makes the average condition nearly as high as in 1876. It is 81.1 against 82,7 last year, and 88 the year before. The declino in the condition during September is less this year than last. Georgia and Tennessee make the same average iu September, Worth Carolina higher,and all other States lower, though Arkansas deolines but one per cent. The State percentages are as fol lows : North Caroliua 85, South Carolina 79, Alabama 88, Mississippi 80, Louisiana 77, Texas 64, Arkansas 98, TennesHoe 100. The weather has been favorable generally up to the middle of September, except upon soils liahlo to suffer from drought in portions of Ar kansas, and in more limited areas in Tex as heavy rains prevailed in the early part of that month, and from the 16th to the 20th a storm of great violence swept through the cotton belt to the borders of Texas, doing groat damago by beating out the fibre, rotting the bolls, breaking down the plant and overflowing low lauds. A loss of at least 20,000 bales is reported from overflows of the Black Warrior and Tom- bigbee in Alabama.

From the London World.] Gen. Gmnt is not so taciturn at all times as the world generally supposes. I know at least that ho hept a frioi d of mine by the button hole for two hours at a stretoh the other day while discussing a variety of topics and getting through three cigars. Among other things, he said that the deep current of English sympathy for America, as evinced t>y tho reoeption lie bad rooeived, had uimle a groat impression on the American people. He gathered this from the numerous let* tern that had reached him, sh well ns from the spirit of tho press iu America. He appeared to tako a lively interest in India and all relating to it, and men tioned his inteution of visiting that coun try on his way bAck to America. lie thought we need havo no fear about our silver onrreuoy, as Amerioa*could provide now more than enough for the whole world’s use. Comparing tbo Iudian muti ny with tho rebellion of tho Booth, ho said that they had to contend against one factor which wo in England seemed never to have taken into account. During tho war they had 4,000,000 traitors in tho North itself, who required constant watching, and were an ever-present ele ment of danger. With regard to tho present war, ho said that at first America wus with Russia, her old ally ; but that since the war com menced opinion had undergone n great change, and it was now pretty equally divided on the subjeot. Mr. Vanderbilt, who died the other day worth .4)18,000,000, he said, could neithor read nor write; yet he was, to look at, a most polished gentleman. Iiis chief fieusures were trotting horses and whist. [Ie would think nothing of staking 4)500 or i) 1,000 on a rubber, as ho said, “just to keep away the boys.” His son, who has inherited thiB colossal fortune, is a comparative miser. Leaving him out, the four wealthiest men in America at the present day are Irishmen aud Roman Catholics; they have got all the silver mines in their hands, and no one can tell the amount of thoir money. The ex-President declared ho would have made very short work of the railway striko, by a wave of bis hand, indicating he would have brought the sabre into play at an early stage, aud so have nipped it in the bud. A STUPENDOUS SWINDLE. The Truth About the Georgia tcry. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC. Consumption can be lured. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Bchenck’s Sea Weed Tonic, Bchenck's Mandrake Pills, Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary Consumption. Frequently a medicine that will stop a cough will occasion the death of the pa tient; they look up the liver, stop tho oir dilation of the blood, hemorrhage fol lows, and in fact they clog the action of the very organs that caused the cough. Liver complaint and Dyspepsia are tho causes of two-thirds of the oases of Con sumption. Many persons complain of a dull pain in the side, constipation, coated tongue, pain iu the shoulder blade, fool ing of drowsiness and restlessne**, the food lying heavily on tho stomach, ae- panied with acidity and belching up of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so affected, if they toko one or two heavy colds, aud if tho cough iu those cases be suddenly chocked, will find the stomach and live* 1 clogged, re- tiing torpid and inactive, and almost before they are aware the lungs are a mass of sores, and ulcerated, tho result of which is death. Bohenok’s Pulmonio Syrup is an expec torant which does not contain opium or anything calculated to check a cough sud denly. Sohenck’s Bea Weed Tonic dissolves tho food, mixes with tho gastric juices of the stomach, aids digestion and creates a ravenous appetite. When the bowels aro costive, skin sal low, or the symptoms otherwise of a hili- ous tendency, Bchenck's Mandrake Pills are required. These medicines aro prepared only by J. H. Bchenok it Bon, N.

The police had also made in quiries, preliminary to making arrests of any persons engaged in the traffic. As tonishment wus expressed at the fact that an organization of lottery dealers for the purpose of first brooking and then evad ing the law, snob as was described in the Tribune, could exist in this oity, and steps are to be taken to indict all the per sons named in tho article for conspiracy. It was discovered on Saturday that pre parations had nlready been mndo for the sale of the tickets of tho now bogus lot tery by tho company of lottery dealers named. It was also learned that agents were busily engaged in disposing of these tickets in Chicago, Bt. Louis, Cinoiunati, Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, Troy, Bos ton, Providence, Hartford, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and indeed in all tho larger oities of the North, although thoir sale has been checked in New York by the Tribune exposure of tho faot that no such lottery exists in Georgia, nor oan any such scheme be legally carried on under tho existing laws of thnt State. A certified copy of tho law now existing in Goorgia against lotteries was hIiowd to the Tribune- reporter, and roods as follows: A bill to be untitlod an Aot to prevent the maintaining or carrying on of any lottery in this State, and for other pur poses. Section 1. Bo it enacted by the Gen eral Assembly of the State of Georgia, and it is hereby onuatod by tho authority of tho same, that it shall not be lawful for any person or persons, either by them selves, servants, Agents, employes, or others, to keep, maintain, employ, or carry on any lottery iu this State, or other scheme or device, for tho hazard ing of uny money or valuable thing, pro vided that nothing heroi nshall affect any of the laws now existing against gam ing.

A. Lochrane, a Justice of tho Supremo Court of Georgia, Judge Loobraue is now iu the city, aud the reporter obtainod from him, at the St. James Hotel, the his tory of the lottery scheme. POLICY DEALERS ItonUING ORPHANS OF SOL- DIEUS. The Georgia Legislature, in 1866, granted to a so-called hoard of trustees the privileges of raising money by lottery for the aid of a Masonic homo tor orphans, which was in obargo of Mrs. General Doles, Mrs. General Williams, Mrs. Wil son and a number of other ladies, all of whom wore reluted to Confederate officers aud soldiors iu the late war. Immediate advantage was taken of this grant,and tho first sale of tickets was very extensive. Iu tlie revised constitution of Goorgia,adopt ed by the reconstruction convention of 1868, onu section provides that no lottory should ho allowed in tho State, a single exception being made, however, in this Orphan’s Homo Lottory, having been created as a sort of sacred trust, was not discontinued. Nearly 100 soldiers’ or phans were theu in the care of tho insti tution. Under this provision the lottery was carried on without molestation, until 1875. About this time occurred tho fa mous Farquier Turnpike Lottery oaso, of Virginia, which wus carried to tho Su preme Court, and a deoission given that a lottory was a matter of license, and not a grant. Basing liis argument upon this decision, Mr. Hester, of Atlanta, attacked tho lottery men, but without avail, for the deoision was found not to reach an invested right, and tho Masonic Home Lottory was still protected. It found tho majority of its patrons outside the State, for the Georgians themselves woro never readily attracted by it. Last winter, during tbo first weeks of the session of tho Legislature), an effort was made to pass an act giving legal authority to a company of men to act as agents for this lottory in New York nnd other North ern cities. To effect this, a bill whs in troduced makiug it a penal offence for any one, personally or by means of agents, either to carry on or assist in any lottery iu this State, even to the turning of the handle or the taking out of balls or uum hers in a lottery. This Dill was passed. Judge Lochrane said that this bill entire ly nullified the rights of those Now York agents who designed to misapply tho Or phans’ Home lottery for their own pur poses, and not for the benefit of the home. On representations being mndo to Mayor Ely, on Saturday, that if tho police took action against tho swindlers, the police magistrates would not aid them in their efforts to commit, he replied very prompt ly thut he believed ho was also a magis trate, as woll as the Mayor of tho oity of New York, and had tho City liall police at his command. New Yobk, October 1st, 1877. I have devoted twenty years of patient study to the Liver and its relations to the human body, in seeroh of a remedy v» hich wonld restore it, when diseased, to its normal condition. The result of that la bor has been (he production of TCtT’S LIVER PILLS. Their popularity ha* become so extended and the demand so great as to induce un scrupulous parties to counterfeit ti.em, thereby robbing me ot’ the reward, and the afflicted of their virtues. TO CAUTION THE PtJBI IC\ and protect them from vile impositions, I have adopted a new label, whi h bears my trade-mark and notice of its entry in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, also my signature, thus : •STTo Counterfeit this is forgery. Before purchasing, examine the label olosoly. THE GENUINE TUTT’S PILLS exert a peculiar influence on the system. Thoir action is prompt, and their good effects are felt in a few boars. A quar ter of a century of study of the Liver has demonstrated that it exerts a greater in fluence over the system than any other or gan of the body, and wheu diaeased the entire organism is deranged. It is speci ally for the healing of this vital organ that I have spent so many years of toil, aud having fonnd the remedy, which has proved the greatest boon ever furnished the afflicted, shall they be deprived of its benefits, aud a vile imitation imposed up on them ? Let the honest people of America see to it that they are not defrauded: Scrutinize the label closely, see that it bears all the marks above mentioned, and buy the medicine only from respectable dealers. It oan be found everywhere. Very respectfully, tf w. H. TUTT. Autodialling Mncceu.
