In discussing the resolutcm Mr. Foard
said that it was in accord !with public
sentiment. Mr. Vaughan staid that he
heartilt concurred in the spirit of the
resolution, but thought the'Object
sought could be better attaineu oy in-
triir"tinff the staridinsr committees on
theBubject. Mr. Foard in: reply said
that the object of the committee was to
save useless expense thathe had heard
that a committee of like nature had
heen anuointed bv a previous Legisla
ture by Which $10,000 had been sayed,
and he thought that the present com
mittee if raised would save at least $25t,
000. Mr. Ardrey agreed witn Air.
Vaughan. He thought this multiplica
tion of committees '.-a. sheer waste of
time. Mr. Cooke was with Mr. Foard
in sentiment, but thought the tendency
of so manv committees would' be1 id
raise expenditures. He did not want
the resnonsibilitv divided. Mr. Bernard
thought that it would be a saving of
money to give the money appropriated
by the resolution to the institutions 14-.

The fDllowlng letter from Rev. G. W Mansfield,
formerly pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church,

eonvlnce every one who reads his tetter of the won
derful curative qualities of Vegetlne as a thorough
cleanser and purifier of the blood.
Hyde Park, Mass., Feb. 15, 1 876.
Mr. EL R. Stevens:
Dear Sir About ten years ago my health failed
through the depleting effects of dyspepsia; nearly
a year later I was attacked by typhoid-fever tn its
worst form. It settled" In toy back, and took the
form of a large deep-seated abscess, which was
fifteen months lo gathering. I had two surgical
operations by the best skill In the State, but receiv
ed no permanent cure. I suffered great pain at
times, ana was constantly weaxenea oyaproiuse
discharge. I also lost small pieces of bone at dif
ferent umea.
Matters ran on thus about seven yean, Ull Hay,
1874, when a friend recommended tne to go to
your office, and talk with you of the virtue of Vege
tlne. I did so, and by your kindness passed through
your manufactory, noting the ingredients, Ac, by
which your remedy Is produced.
BywlLit I saw and heard I gained some confi
dence in vegeune.
I commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse
from its effects; soil I persevered, and soon felt It
was benefitting me In other respects Yet I did not
see the results I desired all I had taken It faithful
ly for little more than a year, when the difficulty In
tne pack was cured; and lor nine montns 1 have
enjoyed the best of hearth.
I have In that time gained twenty-five pounds of
nesn. oeing neaner tnan ever oeiore in my me, and
1 was never more able to perform labor than now,
During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous
swelling as large as my fist gather on another part
01 mj uuaj.
I took Vegetlne faithfully, and it removed it level
with the surface In a month. I think I should have
been cured of my main trouble sooner tf I hi!d tak
en larger doses, after having become accustomed
to its effects.. ' j r
