The election passed oil" with less excite-
ment than had been anticipated, the only ,
matter varying what might be called a
monotony, being discussions at the annual
town meeting. Sonic sharp practice was
adopted during the day by ingenious liicn
to capture the unwary by placing before
them tickets not wholly “straight." No
less than five splits were in the field. mostly
on the democratic side, the object being to
detract from particular candidates. Many
republican names appeared Oil the demo-
cratic ticket, and the republicans presented
several of their democratic li-iends, good
men, for the people’s snfi‘ragos. The result
of the figlit,.wbich was wariii,.to use a mild
expression, is now too well known to no d
comment. The author of .two written
cautions to the public posted on either side
of the entrance to Slurgcs Hall, the place of
voting, was the subject during the day of
emphatic denunciation. Both amendments

DAN OATAIIRH BE BORED ?
No one is more awarc than Dr. Rowe of
the impression among many that Cntarrh
cannot be cured. That many firmly believe
this, and have good reasons for believing so
there can he no doubt—for the best reason
that they have tried so many things without
deriving any benefit. After devoting near.
ly 17 years specially to this branch of the
p‘mIOSsion, he can assert, most positively,
that Catarrll is as curable as any other dis-
ease. As everyone knows, there is a-right
and wrong way to do everything, and 'no
matter how malty times the wrong way may
be tried,success caunotbc expected to at-
tend the effort.
General practitioners do not understand
the treatment of the disease. Skilfull though
they may be in the general practice Of med-
icinc,yct in this branch of the practice their
inability is manifest, and for the best of all
reasons, that they have not the experience
necessary. To treat Catarrh successfully, a
physician needs to devote as much attention
and study toil as to any other branch of
the profession, and any physician who will
do so will meet with as much success as he
would in any other specialty. To those
who are skeptical and disposed tO throw
this down and pronounce it stuff, humbug,
etc., a few of the choice expressions used on
such occasions, he says stop ; don‘t condemn
and denounce what you know nothing of,but
think for a minute, and see if you might not
be mistaken. If the fact of the curability
of it rested merely on his word, it may then
boa question open for argument; but when
the assertion is corroborated by the positive
statements of persons well known to the
community for their intelligence as well as
for their integrity and position, no one will
doubt, but those in whom it is innate to
to doubt cverthing, and those who from inv'
tercsted motives, be they actuated from
jealousy or impccutiiosity, consider the high-
est attribute of their profession to slur
and distort all facts which detract alike from
their pockets or their pompous self-assumed
skill.
As an evidence of his skillan. ROWE sub-
mits testimonials below from persons that
are too well known in Norwalk to require
further comment necessary, more than to
say that his treatment of Cntarrh is entirely
original with himself and differs entirely
from anything used before for the same pur-
pose, Iiiasmueh as by it the medicines are
conveyed directly to the parts affectcd,wbich
has never before been accomplished. When
constitutional treatment is necessary, the
remedies used are such as to have a direct
effect. in purifying the system- and building
it up. thereby bringing all the organs into’
action, and restoring to them that healthy.
tone and vigor which they had previously
lost. '
The treatment is such that it can with
case be used by any onen It is painless and
can be continued at home, and without in-
terruption to business.
NORTH WILTON, Come, Feb. 3d, 1875.
DR. ROWE—DEAR SIR:
. Yours has been received and it affords
me much pleasure to say that previous to
'our commencing the treatment of Mrs.
unning. for Catarrhal and throat affection
from which she suffered so severely, I‘liad'
given up all hope of her recovery, and had
told ottr children that they must prepare
their minds for the loss of a mother at no
distant day. When she saw your advertise-
ment, Iliad no hope of her ever being ben-
efitted by any treatment whatever, but was
willing to gratify her in any effort that she
wished to make for her comfort or the res-
toration of her health while she remained
with us. It was but a short time after the
commencement Ofyour treatment that Isaw
her health was improving rapidly, and now
I am happy to say that it is better than at
any tiniesiuce we have known each other.
I think now she has as fair a prospect of a
long life as any one who is in good health
and strength. Any use you wish to make of
the above statement for the benefit of those
who are afflicted with Catarrh or disease of
the throat, you are certainly welcome to.
RICHARD DUNNING.
Du. ROWE :-—Dnan Sm :
It gives me pleasure to write you of the V
permanent cure I have received from your
judicious and successful treatment of Ca-
tarrh from which I have suffered so much.
That which I called a “severe cold in the
head,” had increased its severity year by
year, until the Autumn I first called on you.
At that time,I was convinced that a longer
neglect must inevitably lead to the disease
of my lungs as my threat was already af-
fected considerably and severely, and my
physical strength greatly impaired. I had
no knowledge of you beyond a. treatise of
yours which I had read, and I may add that
the prejudice natural to one strictly educa-
ted to the views of the regular practice, did
not aid me in seeking one of whom I knew
so little. But I was unable to find any help
through .the ordinary treatment Of Catarrh,
and therelore followed my inclination and
went to you. I was satisfied after the ap-
plication of your medicines, that if a cure
could be effected, your method could do it.
I have carefully followed your directions,
and though from its long standing and se-
verityof my case my recovery has been
slow, I am happy to say it has been sure,
and I cannot but wish for all who are suf-
fering from this disease a. prompt and
speedy relief by your sure, sensible, and cer-
tain help.
' Yours,’respectfnlly,
Mns. L. J. CURTIS, Norwalk, Conn.

DR. Rown:——Dnan Sm:
. About four years ago I placed my son
under your care .for treatment of Catarrh
and a difficulty of the throat, with which he
was seriously affected. I am happy to say
that you permanently cured him.

'DISCHARGES FROM THE EAR.
All cases of discharge from the car can,
be cured, even though the hearing cannot

cover up their inefficiency) that children
will outgrowr the difficulty. One in every

an exception to it, but what parent wishes to
run the risk. Every child Suffering from it
should be attended to as soon as possible

TO TIIE BONDIIOLDEIIS OF THE
NE“! JERSEY MIDLAND RA ILIVAY
COMPANY. .
As I have been commissioned tolny before you a
iliiii for reorganizing the New Jersey Midland
tailway 00., allow me to call your attention to
several important points in said plan.
The FIRST and principal point for your con-
sideration is, that; the "purchasing Company”
guarantees to every Bondholder all rights and se-
ctirity that is now covered by the present mortages.
SECOND.—It contracts to make one-third (to
of your security a. marketable one, by fiiving a
Bond with Coupons, payable semi-amino y from
date, which must make it equal in value to the
price origiiinllylpaid ; so that this one-third WI" be
equivalent to t c price that you are now getting for
the whole amount. ,c
TIIIIID.—Tlie balance, two-thirds (54’ l. is
given in a First Mortgage JO-chr Bond, with Con-
pons, payable at the option Ofthc Company in cash
or script, said scrip l'undablc for the first six cars
into a First Mortgage Income Bond, which ond
is entitled to all income to the amount of the Con-
)0“ attached, after paying interest on the First
fortgagc llonds. Underahis plan the Company
will be able to meet its obligations promptly.
FOURTH.-—Tho purchasing company propose
to pay 011‘ all prior lions now standing ahead of the
First; Mortgage Bonds, and receive in payment for
such advances, the First Mort age Income Bonds.
The new Compun feel justit ctl in doing this, in
consideration of t. c advantages to be derived by
putting the two Corporations into one Company.
FIF’I‘ IL-Uupaid Coupons are converted into
a First Mortgage laconic bond, and all jiiniorsc-
curltics and claims are. secured by the purchasing
Company as to their priorities.
If these points are clearly set forth and under-
stood, it would seem to be for the best interest of
every bondholdcr,——to place his security in an im-
proved and marketable shape at once, and by so
doin remove the Company from its present uncer-
tainties and the Courts.
All persons desirous of joining in said plan, or
any information concerning It, will be forwarded
the documents, by sending thatrpost-oflicc address
