A REMARKABLE CURE!
IN WHICH
PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS DECIDED
TO USE THE KNIFE.
My wife and daughter suffered for years with
an affection of the throat, which was gradually
but surely undermining their health, and was a
source of anxiety to all of us. Two of the best
physicians of the city and also a surgeon were
called in, and after a careful examination they
decided that there was no chance of a cure un
less t hey would consent to undergo a surgical
operation. We were much opposed to the knife
being used, until all other means had been ex
hausted. So wo began to use different throat
remedies sola at drug stores. We finally got to
Brewer’s Lung Restorer, and tho effects were
truly wonderful; and after a few bottles had
been taken they were entirely relieved of the
trouble and their health fully restored. If any
of my family should ever be similarly affected.
I would, if necessary, travel around tho world
in order to get this remedy. Very respectfully,
W. 11. MANSFIELD,
vl Macon, yfrh
With great pleasure t certify‘to tho efficacy
of that truly excellent preparation—Brewer’s
Lung Restorer. It has indeed proven to be a
sovereign remedy in nvy family. For many
•months my wife has suffered from weak lungs,
and has experioncea great difficulty in breath
ing, so that she could not sleep at all at
'.iglit'; fthf. ul3o Jjst hoi appetite, ui.J. in fact,
her condition was truly alarming. The Lung
Restorer having been recommended by several
friends, I resolved to get it and test its virtues,
which I did, and with the most happy effect.
She has taken but two bottles, and the result is
wonderful. Hho now experiences no difficulty
in breathing, her appetite is good, and she is
rapidly regaining her strength, and I am con
vinced its continued use wil 1 effect a permanent
cure. I would, therefore, cheerfully recommend
it to all who have weak lungs, as it cannot fail
to be of great benefit to all who may give it a
trial. Yours truly,
GEO. w. sms.
The above testimonial was given in 1880. Hear
what tho same gentleman says after an interval
of four years:
“ I have had no cause to change my opinion
relative to tho efficacy of Brewer’s Lung Re
storer in cases of diseased lungs. The benefit
derived by my wife from its use lias been per
manent. My faith in its virtues is such that I
cheerfully recommend it to all who are affiicteo
with pulmonary disease. Very respectfully,

Dr. J. Bradfield; Dear Sir— My daugh

that dreadful affliction known as Female
Disease, which lias cost me many dollars,
and notwithstanding I had the best medical
attendance, could not find relief. I have
used many other kinds of medicines without
any effect. I had just about given her up,
was out of heart, but happened in the store
of W. W. Eckler several weeks since, and
he, knowing of my daughter’s affliction, per
suaded me to buy a bottle of your Female
Regulator. She began to improve at once.
I was so delighted with its effects that I
bought several more bottles of it; and,
knowing what I do about it, if to-dav one
of my Family was suffering with that awful
disease, I would have it if it cost SSO a bot
tle, for I can truthfully say it has cured my
daughter sound and well; myself and wife
do most heartily recommend your Female
Regulator to be just what it is represented
to be.

■ IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO PERFORM
THE DUTIES OF PRESIDENT.
New York, June 10, 1884.— T0
Daniel Manning, Chairman of the
Democratic Stale Committe of Hew
York: In my letter of Jane 18th,
1880, addressed to the delegates
from the State of New York to the
Democratic national convention, I
said :
“Having now borne faithfully my
full share of the labor and care in
the public service and wearing the
marks of its burdens, I desire
nothing so much as an honorable
discharge. I wish to lay down the
honors and toils of even a quasi
party leadership, aud to seek the
repose of private life. In renoun
cing a re-nomination for President,
Ido so with no doubt in my mind
as to the vote of New York or of
the United States, but because I
believe it is a renunciation of an
election to the Presidency. To
those who think my renomination
and re-election indispensable to,
any effectual vindication of the
right of the people to elect their
rulers, violated in my person, I
have accorded as long a reserve of
my decision as possible, but I can
not overcome my repugnance to
to enter into anew engagement,
which involves four years of cease
less toil. The dignity of the Pres
idential office is above a merely
personal ambition, but it creates
in me no illusion. Its value is as
a great power'for good to the coun
try. I said four years ago, in ac
cepting the nomination : ‘Know
ing as I do, therefore, from fresh
experience, how great the differ
ence is between gliding through aD
official routine and working out a
reform of systems and policies, it
is impossible forme to contemplate
what needs to be done in the Fed
eral administration without an
acute sense ot the difficulties of the
undertaking. If summoned by the
suffrages of my countrymen to at
tempt this work, I shall endeavor,
with God’s help, to be the efficient
instrument of their will in such
work of renovation.’
“After many years of misrule,
such a reform of a system and pol
icy, to which I would cheerfully
have sacrificed all that remained
to me of health and life, is now, I
fear, beyond my strength.”
My purpose to withdraw from
further public service and the
grounds for it were well known to
you and others. When at Cincin
nati, though respecting my wishes
yourself, you communicated to me
an appeal from many valued
friends to relinquish that purpose,
I reiterated my determination, un
conditionally. In the four years
which have since elapsed, nothing
has occurred to weaken, but every
thing to strengthen, the considera
tions which induced my withdraw
al from public life. To all who
have addressed me on the subject,
my intention has been frankly com
municated. Several of my most
confidential friends, under the sanc
tion of their own names, have pub
licly stated my determination to
be irrevocable.
That I have occasion now to con
sider the question is an event for
which I have no responsibility.
The appeal made to me by the
Democratic masses, with apparent
unanimity, to serve them once
more, is entitled to most deferen
tial consideration, and would in
spire a disposition to do anything
desired of me, if it were consisten
witb my judgment of duty. I be
lieve there is no instrumentality in
human society so potential in its
influence on mankind for good or
evil as tho governmental machin
ery for administering justice and
for making and executing the laws.
Not all the elemosynary institutions
or private benevolence to which
philanthropists may devote their
lives are so fertile in benefits as
the rescue and preservation of this
machinery from the perversions
that make it the instrument of con
spiracy, fraud and crime against
the most sacred rights and inter
ests of the people.
For fifty years, as a private citi
zen, never contemplating an official
career, I have devoted at (least as
much thought and effort to duty in
influencing aright the action of the
governmental institutions of my
country as to all other objects. I
never accepted official service ex
cept for a brief period for a special
purpose, and only when the occa
sion seemed to require from me
that sacrific of private preferences
to the public welfare. 1 undertook
tho State administration of New
Nork because it was supposed that
in that way only could the execu
tive power be ranged on the side
of the reforms to which, as a pri
vate citizen, I had given three
years of my life.
I accepted the nomination for the
Presidency in 1876 because of the
general conviction that my caudi
dacy would best present the issue
of reform, which the Democratic
majority of the people desired to
have worked out in the Federal
government as it had been in that
of the State of New York. I be
lieved that I had strength enough
then to renovate the administration
of the government of the United
States, and at the close of my term
to hand over the great trust to a
successor faithful to the same pol
icy. Though anxious to seek the
repose of private life, I neverthe
less acted upon the idea that ev
ery power is a trust and involves
a duty. In reply to the address of
the committee .communicating my
nomination, I depicted the difficul
ties of the undertaking and likened
my feelings in engaging in it to
those of a soldier entering battle :
but 1 did not' withhold the entire
consecration of my powers to the
public service. Twenty years of
continuous maladministration un
der the demoralizing influences of
intestine war and of bad finance
have infected the whole govern
mental system of the United States
with the cancerous growth of false
constructions and corrupt practices.
Powerful classes have acquired pe
cuniary interests in official abuses
and the moral standard of the peo
ple has been impaired. To redress
these evils is a work of great diffi
culty and labor and cannot be ac
complished without most energetic
and efficient personal action od the
part of the chief executive of the
republic. The canvass and admin
istration which it is desired that I
should undertake would embrace
a period of nearly five years, not
can I admit any allusion as to their
burdens. Three years of experi
ence in the endeavor to reform the
municipal government of the city
of New York and two years of ex
perience in renovating the admin
istration of the State of New York
has made me familliar with the re
quirements of such a work. At the
present time, the considerations
which induced my action in 1880
have become imperative. I ought
not to undertake a task which I
have not physical strength to carry
through. To reform the adminis
tration of the Federal government,
to realize my own ideal and to ful
fil the just expectations of the peo
ple would indeed warrant, as they 7
would alone compensate, the sacri
fice which the undertaking would in
volve, but in my condition of advan
cing yeai-s and declining strength I
feel no assurance of my ability to
accomplish these objects. I am
therefore constrained to say, defi
nitely, that I cannot now assume
the labors of an administration or
of a canvass, undervaluing in no
wise that best gift of heaven, occa
sion and power, sometimes bestow
ed upon a mere individual, to com
municate an impulse for good, and
grateful beyond all words to my
fellow countrymen who would as
sign such beneficial function to me.
I am consoled by the reflection that
neither the Democratic party nor
the republic, for whose future that
party is the best guarantee, is now,
or ever can be, dependent upon any
one man for their successful prog
ress in the path of noble destiny.
Having given to their welfare what
ever of health and strength I pos
sessed or could borrow from the
future, and having reached the
term of my capacity for such labors
as their welfare now demands, I
but submit to tho will of God in
deeming my public career now for
ever closed.

A REMARKABLE COINCI
DENCE.
New York San: Eight years ago
General John B. Henderson, of
Missouri, was dismissed from a
post of responsibility and honor us
counsel for the government in the
whisky ring cases. He was dismiss
ed by General Grant, then the Pres
ident of the United States. He was
dismissed ostensibly on account of
a remark reflecting upon the honor
of the President, but really because
he was too earnestly bent on doing
his duty in the prosecution of
Grant’s friend and private secreta
ry, Orville E. Babcock, indicted for
conspiring to defraud the govern
ment.
Not contopt with the r* a oval of
the honest lawyer who did hot hesi*-
fcate in the performance of Ijis duly,
even when the ovidence led up to
the White House itself, the friends
of Grant and Babcock did their ut
most to disgrace him, to injure him
professionally and to make him an
outcast from the Republican par
ty.
It is a remarkable coincidence
that the same day—day before yes
terday—brought" to Chicago "the
news of the violent death of the
disgraced and almost forgotten
Babcock, witnessed the selection of
General Henderson as the presid
ing officer of a national convention
of the Republican party, and heard
General Grant’s name mentioned
before the eight hundred delegates
there assembled only in connection
with this prayer : “God grant this
cloud may pass away and that
honor may come back to him.”
OUR CAUDLE LECTURE.
I’m glad to hear that you was at
your office last night, Mr. Kummin
lat.
balancing your books, eh ? Well,
that’s hard work, I suppose, espec
ially when you have to do it with
chalk.
Don’t know what I mean ? Do
you think I can’t see ? When you
came iq last night your coat wms
covered with chalk marks. Lean
ed against the wall, did you ?
You probably forgot that tho
only wall in your office is a wooden
partition. Oh, you brushed against
a barrel of lime on your way home,
ah’? The sidewulks wort) two nar
row of course,
Balancing your books, indeed.
You mean you were balancing a
billiard cue in one hand and a glass
of bad liquor in the other. No ?
Then why were you chewing
cloves when you came in ? Why
did you try to climb up the book
case and growl about the stairs be
ing so steep ?
Tired, were you ? I should say
you must be, you poor, overworked
fellow.

one of the most touching, searching
and complete that I have ever seen
iD print. He is a spiritual splen
dor, to borrow, the phrase of Dante
about St. Dominie.”
