Dr. Radwat : That others may be benefitted, I
disks mis statement.:
I have had an Ovarian Tumor in the ovaries and
bowels lor ten years. I tried the best physicians in
this place and others without any benefit. It was
rrow tag at such rapidity that I could not have lived
much longer. A friend of mine induced me to try I
Kad way s Kennedies. 1 bad not much faun in tbem,
but Anally, alter much deliberation, I tried them.
I Durchaxed six bottles of the Resolvent, two box-
s of the Pills, and two bottles of the Relief I used
those without any apparent benefit. I determined
to persevere. I used tw Ive more bottlesof the Re
solvent, two of the Relief, and two boxes of Pills.
Before they were gone I had lost 86 pounds.
I continued to use the medicine until I was sure
that I was entirely cured. I took the medicine about
Ave months, and during that time lost 45 pounds.
In all I took three dozen bottles of the Resolvent,
six bottles Relief, an six boxes of the Pills.
I feel perfectly well, and my heart is fnli of grat
itude to God for this help in my great affliction. To
f ou. Sir, and your wonderful medicine, I feel deep
y indebted, and my prayer is that it may be as
much of a bit-using to others as it has been to me.

Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will

follows, and in fact,they clog the action of the very
organs that caused the couh.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
of two-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many

Special Dispatch to the Courier-Journal.
Bowling Green, Ky., Dec. 15. A
very large tueetiug of the citizens ot this
city and county, irrespective of party, was
held at the court house to-day, for the
nuroose of giving expression to their feel
iogs concerning the presidential muddle.
Judge Hartzell was called to the chair
and the Hon. v. . Wright was ap
pointed secretary.
The meeting comprised most of our best
neonlc. including the silver heads of our
patriarchs, and the mass of our substan
tia', thinking men. There were present
some thousands of persons, among whom
were several white and many colored lie
nublicans.
Hon. Robert Rodes, one of the strongest
Republicans of the state as to brains and
party principles, and the recognized leader
Of the Republican party in this county;
addressed the meeting in a two-hours
speech, completely dissecting the action of
his party m its attempt to count m liayes.
He claimed to be a Uepublican, stating
that he had voted against most of those
present, having cast his vote tor Hayes
but considered this a time when true men
should rise above mere party and act as
patriots. He said that it is a characters
tio of the American people to have fair
nlav. and iu his opinion there bad been
fair election, and most certainly there
should be a fair count
DENOUNCING THE RETURNING BOARD,
He denounced the action of the return
ing boards ot the three contested southern
state" in tho strongest possible terms, and
thoroughly exposed the frauds that had
been perpetrated there, and which are
now being forced upon the country by the
highest authority. He referred to the
auiet election ia Louisiana, and denounced
the action of Kellogg iu telegraphing how
the state had gone before it was possible
for him to have kuown, as simply meaning
that he intended to have it counted that
way, right or wrong. He said that the
Louisiana returning board comprised men
without character or standing aud
who were previously stamped with
infamy by members of their own
party. The Republican action in
Florida and South Carolina came in
