way. ‘he political thinkers of Switzerland,

attention. In America the Cumulative

see fit. ‘In Harvard College, Mr. Hare’s plan bas been adopted in its election of the Board of Overseers.

This may certify, that John Kinniff, of Wilmot, in the County of Annapolis, maketh oath and saith, that in autumn 1869, he was very much afflicted with sore and inflamed eyes, supposed he took cold in them, and they were extremely painful, and it was with difficulty he could see at all by times; but falling in with Dr. Caleb Gates, of Wilmot, he recommended the use of his Eye Water, which he did obtain and use; and it acted likea charm upor his eyes; only used it two nights when a perfect cure was effected ; and he is desirous that all persons similarly, affected may know of the healing properties contained in Dr. Gates’ Celebrated Eye Water.
