In 1802, when I served my country as a private in Company A, 107th Pennsylva? nia Volunteers, I contracted chronic diarrhoea. It has given me a great deal of trouble ever since. I have trlei' a dozen different medicines and several prominent doctors without any perma? nent relief. Nor. loug ago a friend sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after that I bought and took a 50-cent bottle; and now 1 can say that I am en? tirely cured. I cannot be thankful enough to you for this great remedy, and recommend it to all Buffering veterans. If in doubt write me Yours gratefully, HENRY S/TEINBERGER, Allentown, Pa. Sold by H. C.

The address, which Is headed, "Brother Republicans," starts out as follows: '?William McKinley, President of the Uni ted,States by the grace of God and the i llorts of the workers and zealous friends of the Republican party,'hav'ng succeed? ed to the highest honors of this nation largely through your work nnd sacrifices, aud having, in payment of bis obliga? tions to us, at the command of our and ills political enemies, debarred us from any reward or participation in the gov? ernment, so far as the right to bald office under his administration Ms concerned, we do earnestly aud siucely promise and obiigate ourselves to devote our best efforts to the destruction of the civil ser? vice law now on the statutes of the United States as repuguantto justice aud the obliuatic ns assumed toward us as Re? publicans and equal American citizens*by the leaders of oui? party, who have shamelessly betrayed us into the hands of our enemies after a hard-wou victory, aud deprived us of any prospect of recog? nition from our own administratioL, and thus in return for[favors earnestly sought at our hands. "This, being the case, we voluntarily pledge our sacred honor (unless the civil service law is modified or repealed) to ad? vance by every means in our power the interests of William .1. Bryan, simply on the condition that If elected he will hon? estly and thoroughly root out from our political system the rotteu Ch'nese idea now known as civil service reform." OLD PEOPLE.
