DB. BABWAY'S HBfdEDM
nv had an Ovarian Tumor in the Ova
rii' afd Bowel for Ten Yea rs, '
? Ann Arbor, Dec. 87, 1875.
Dr. Ridwit : That others may be benefitted, I
make this statement:
I have had an Ovarian Tumor In the ovariee and
bowels for ten years. I tried the beat physicians in
this place and others without an; benefit. It was
growing at such rapidity that I could not have lived
much lunger. A friend of mine induced me to try
Radway's Remedies. 1 had not much faith in tbem,
bnt finally, after much deliberation, I tried them.
I purchased six bottles of the Resolvent, two box
es of the Pills, and two bottles of the Relief. I nsed
those without any apparent benefit. I determined
to persevere. 1 nsed tw lve more bottlesof the Re
solvent, two of the Relief, and two boxes of Pills.
Before they were cone I had lost 25 pounds.
I continued to use the medicine until I was sure
thatl was entirely cured. I took the medicine about
five months, and lurlu that time lost 45 pounds.
In all I took three dozen bottles of the Resolvent,
six bottles Relief, n't viz boxes of the Pills.
I feel perfectly well, and my hean is full of grat
itude to una i or mis neip in my crest amtction. i o
yon. Sir, and your wonderful medicine, I feel deep
ly indebted, and my prayer is that it may be as
much of a blessing to others as it has been to me.

Indianapolis. Dec. 13. The Demo
cratic state central committee met herb
to day, pursuant to the reaue&t of the
Democratic electors, to consider the
political situation. Quite a number of prom
inent politicians, including Gov. Hendricks
and other state officers, were present, be
sides representatives from all the congres
sional districts.
Lx- Congressman Julian, of the Louisi
ana visiting committee, gave his opinion
that the Louisiana election was as quiet
aud peaceable as in Indiana, and that Til
den carried the state overwhelmingly. He
noped the Democracy would have the
pluck to stand up for their rights and
meet the crisis now. He was satisfied
that we shall havo no war. I
Gov. Hendricks was cailed for. but thi
chairman reminded the audience of the
impropriety of his speaking. ; j
The districts then reported as follows:

the emergency let it be what it may; sixth
district Our people are in favor of seeing
our man duly installed in office; the eighth
district is willing for a peaceable solution
this question, provided it results in the
inauguration of Tilden; ninth district
Gen. Manson said there was creat
excitement among his people, and
some inclined to go to extremes, but
he did not believe we ought to talk
about war; he did not think a minority
of the United States would insist on in
augurating a president; he felt that there
was certamly some way tor a peaceable
settlement; the people can't afford a civil
war; right is right, and he felt that the
great and honest Republican party would
see that right is carried out; the tenth
district believed that Tilden should be
inaugurated; deprecated wartalk although
some of the working classes were strongly
inclined that way; in the eleventh district
was a certain tlement decidely for war, but
were looking to the action of this meeting.
and particularly wanted a state convention
to decide upon a plan to be pursued: the
feeling is, we must have our rights, peace
ably it we can, forcibly u necessary; the
twelfth district were determined that Til
den should not be counted out; submission
now meant submission for all time; the
thirteenth district were expecting this con
vention to take initial steps to securing the
inauguration of lilden.
A resolution was then adopted calling a
convention of the people, regardless of past
political opinions, at each county seat on
Dec 23, to select and instruct delegates to
assemble in state convention f t Indianapo
lis on Jan. 8, to consider publio affairs and
take such action as will secure a full ex
ecution of the constitution and laws.
A committee is being appointed to pre
pare an address to the people.
