Mr. Joseph Brndficld his the follow- ;
ing communication in the Haleigh j\eu>n- I
Observer of March 16 : ' 
Washington, D C.,' Match 11, 1888. 1
I have noticed that you are liberal 1
cnftioh to allow men of all shades of,'
polilicil opinion to express their views •
through your columns; and, therefore,j'
1 beg to be permitted to say a few words
which may bo of interest to some o !
your readers. I
As is well known iu tho Piedmont i
section of North Carolina, I hare sinee I
the begiuning of 1880 been iu opcu hos- j
tili'.y to the Democratic party, believiug
that the Deaiocra ts wer; insincere in
their promises regarding the repeal of
the internal reveuue laws, and altogeth
er wrong-headed in ntlier respects. But
since I have bte'i in Washington 1 have
become satisfied that our Democratic
Cungi jssmcu are doiug all they cau to
relieve out people, and that the l'rest- j
dent, notwithstanding his foolish ines-i
age. will not antagonize the repeal of I
the tobacco tnx. Indeed, I aui satis
fied that this odious tax w 11 be temoved
uulcss Itcpublicans like John Sherman
should prevent it. lam quite sura that,
Mr. Sherman and his managers oppose,
the repeal, and that they have secured
tho support of the old red-log brigade 'U i
the Southern States by promises of re- ,
instutcment in offiea in case of Mr. t-her-1
man's election to the Presidency; and 1 J
>iu S ktisfio l beyond a reasonable doubt I
that Mr. Sherman will be nominated by j
the Republican party. I have read j
Senate t'eport No. 205, 47th Congress, I
Ist ssssiou, submitted by Mr. Allison; J
and have beeome acquainted with other;
factsconcerning the Ohio Senator, which!
make it impossible far ma to
him, or to affiliate further witn the par- j
ty whoso favorite he is.
As 1 left the Democratic organization j
boldly In 1880, for reasons now known
to everybody in the fifth Congressional |
district, I now for simular reasons re
noauue my conneetieu wiih the llcpub
licau party—satisfied that now, as here-j
tiilore, my people will sustain me ill iu)
course. And as 1 wade no apologie- j
for leaving the Democratic party, I m»k« j
' none for returning to it.
Very Respectfully yaurs,
Jos. Kit Annul.ii.

* For man) yeara my wife had been
the victim of nervous dyjjicpsia, of the
chronic, distrciaiug and apparently in- !
curable type uir.n which su many oilier
sex suffer, languish and die. It was all
the worse because the tendency to it
was inherited. She had been under the
systematic treatment of many of the
beat physicians in-N'ew York andßrook
lyn and elsewhere for twenty years with j
only temporary relief. 11l fact, there •
were few, if any, kinds of food that did j
not distress her, so diseased, sensitive
and torpid were all the organi of diges
tion. The usual symptoms of dyspep
sia, with its concomitant ailments, were j
all present—bad taste in the mouth,
dull eyes, cold feet and hands, the sense
ofaload upon the stomach, tenderness
on pressure, indigestion, giddiness,
great weakness and prostration, and fu
gitive pains in the sides, chest and back.
I have often rUen in the niyht and ad
ministered stimulants merely for the
sake of the slight aud transient relief
they gave.
Intermittent jn.tl.-\rial fever set in,
complicating iT.e case and making
every symptom more pronounced and
intense. By this time the pneumo
gastric nerves had become very seri
ously involved, am' she had chronic
Gastritis, and what I may be al- j
lowed to tall chronic intermittent ma- i
l.uial fever all at once. For the latter
the physicians prescribed the good, old
fashioned, sheet-anchor remedy, Quin
ine gradually increasing the doses, until
—incredible as it may seem—she actu
ally took THWI'Y GRAINS A DAY FOR ;
DAYS IN SUCCESSION. This could not
last. The effect if the quinuie was,
1 if possible, almost as bad as the two
fold disease which was wearing away
her strength and her life. Quinine
l>oUoiiing was painfully evident, but
the fever was there stilL Almost every I
day there came on the characteristic
chill and racking headache, followed
by the usu d weakness and collapse.
About this time I met socially my
friend Mr. Norton, a member of the
firm of Chauncey Titus & Company,
brokers, of Albany, who, on hearing
from me these facts, sakl: " Why, I
have been through .dmost the same
thing, and have got over it." " What
cured yoti?" I asked eagerly. * K.as
kine," he said, " try it for your wife."
I had seen Kaskinc advertised, but had
no more faith in it than I had in saw
dust, for such a case as hers. Mrs.
Hall had no higher opinion, yet on the
strength of my fr; tn>r« reccmmenda.
tion I got a bottle and Ucgan iti twe
a« directed.
Now recall what I have already said
as to her then condition, and then read
what follows: Under the Kaskine
treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms
shoxeed instant improvement, and the
daily fever grew less and soon ceased
altogether. Side by side the«c diseases
vanished, as side by side they had tort
ured their victim for ten years—the
dyspepsia alone having, as I have said,
existedfor twenty years. Her appetite
improved from week to week until she
could eat and digest the average food
that any well person takes, without any
suffering or inconvenience. With re
newed assimilation of food came, of
course, a steady increase in flesh, until
she now looks like her original self.
She still takes Kaskine occasionally,
but with no real need of it, for she is
well. I consider this result a scientific
miracle, and the" New Quinine "is en
titled to the credit of it, for from the
time she began with K iskinc she used
no other medicine whatever.
If you think a recital of these facts
1 calculated to do good you arc welcome
to make them public.
