enforced idleness that has bred Coxey -ey

Like the hov who whistk-s to keep up
Lis coaraje hen papain? through a
grave yard, our Democratic friends are
trying to whistle up their courage over
the result of the Cor.gress-ional election
held in the Third Ohio district last week.
T"0 years asro G. V. Houk, the Demo
cratic candidate, w hose death occasioned
the prtent vacancy, was elected by a
plurality of 4,:'.lt. votes ; last wees his
t. K-cessor carried the district by 1,7
v.jtejj, a iN'inocratic slump of 2 -V.ij votes.
Iirt-ause McKinley carried the district
last year by a few hundred votes, the
liemocrats areclaiming that a great re
action has taken i!ace.
The Republican C.unty Convention
held in Bedford on Tuesday of last week
unanimously endorsed Hon. J. D. Hicks
for re-nomination to Congress, his com
petitor, Jos. E. Thropp, declining to have
his name go before the convention. As
Riair an l Cambria count'us had previ
ously instructed for Mr. Hicks, and as
Somerset Republicans have no candidate
in the field and have from the start con
ceded his re nomination, he is to ail in
tents and purposes, without the formali
ty of a conference, the unanimous nomi
nee of the party in ihe district, and his
election is already as well assured as if
the November vote was cast and counted.
Wh at bas be come of the blatant de
mand for " free raw material" (whereby
all articles of every-day use and domes
tic consumption were to be cheapened)
which as so noisily demanded by the
Democratic free traders previous to the
assembling of this Congress? Wool,
coal, iron ore, and other so called raw
materials were all to be placed upon the
free list and the people were to be reliev
ed from the terrible taxation that is
grinding them into the lxst. And yet,
after all the outcry, all the denunciation
of the robber Barons who were enriched
by protection of the raw materials that
entered into their produotiins, wool only
is placed opon the free list in the amend
ed Viison bill. Tiie farmers alone are to
be made the victims of the howl for free
raw material. Wool is to be made the
scape goat, and the wool grower is to be
male pay the piper for the free trade
dance. Democracy, thy name is bum-
bug, and thy hand -maiden is fraud.
The Wilson bill is now a thing of
shreds and patches, as motley and incon
gruous as the raiment of a clown. It has
been made an object of trade and dicker
in ti e Senate until of the original bill
little is left except the name. It was and
is wholly obnoxious to the Republicans
of the Senate, and did not command the
support of a majority of Democrats on
its reference to that body. Under the
declaration that the salvation of the
Democratic party depends opon its adop
tion the cuckoo Senators were first
brought to its support, because the Ad
ministration must be sustained;" then
the party lash was rigorously applied to
others, and despairing of obtaining a
majority, concessions were offered to the
recusants and they were humbly asked
what they wanted or on what terms they
would agree to support the bill. When
enough Senators had thus been bought
or bargained for, a caucus was called and
each individual member of it was pledg
ed to support the bill regardless of the
changes made or yet to be made, of which
they had no knom ledge. A more shame
ful barter of principles for expediency
was never made. Only one Democratic
Senator David C. Hill, of New York
stoutly resisted the scandalous bargain,
refused to be bound by. and openly de
nounced it, and it is now proclaimed that
with four hundred amendments et to
be adopted, according to contract, the
passage of the bill is assured. That Re
publicans will resist with all their
strength and all their might this rascally
dicker and sacrifice of the industries of
the country and its millions of workers
goes mithout saying, but ir the free trade
jobbers, blackmailers, and representa
tives of the trusts do not, like thieves,
fall out by the way-eide, this thing of
shreds and patches, this base born bant
ling o( Ieniocratic corruption will be
substituted for the original Wilson bill
and be put through under the party
w hip. Looking merely at its political
results, the pessi-e of this bill will un
doubtedly redound to the benefit of the
Republicans and assure their-return to
power in the councils of the Nation, but
the resultant destruction of cur indas
tries and the lack of employment, and
the misery and want of the working peo
ple of the country that must follow is to
be deeply deplored. It will require
years of economy and thrift and cease
less energy and industry to recover from
the injury the passage of this measure
will inflict opon the country.
The A". 1". Tribune thinks the current
argument for the passage of the Demo
cratic Tariff bill is the strongest that ta
yet been presented. It is simply that
the country is now in such a depiorahie
tae that nothing can make it worse.
The prospective destruction of the Mc
Kinley law bas made a deficiency in the
Treasury, which the Administration ex
pects to 11 by taxing the poor man's
sugar and the well-to-do man's income
and by selling bonds ia the open mar
ket.

TriE Ptateof Pennsylvania is doing
quite well, thank you, in the matter of
cash. Treasurer Morrison reports uiai
w,m he closed business on April 30th
he bad over $5,000,000 in the general

Pennsylvania, it should be remembered,
is a good old Republican State.
The Atlanta tVW.f.-4i, looking at the
administration and Congress, honestly
says: " We see how one victory has
wrought more damage than thirty years
of defeat-" We have lost the Hawaiian
Islands. We have lost pretty much ev
erything else, and have found only " the
receiver" and "the free soup-house."
" Hold the fort for I am coming." was
the message flashed by General Sher
man to G-neral Corse. The people send
the same message cow to the Republican
members of Congress. "Hold the fort
against the indUetrial wreckers; re-en
forcements will be sent after the Novem
her election. The tariff of the trusts
must be defeated."
Democratic Senators seem to thick
they have to pass the Wilson bill in
some form, or the party will die. They
seem to overlook the plain fact that com
merce and national prosperity died when
the Wilson bill was introduced. " Pois
on" with death and cross bones"
chould be "bl ,wn in the gla?s" of every
bottle containing any decoction of thrt
virus.
It is the opinion of the Wheeling Ia-irUi'j'-nrir
(Rep.) that "from the point of
view of party and of tactics Secretary
Carlisle made a mistake to blurt out what
is going on in the may of further doctor
ing the Senate Tariff bilL The mistake
lies in fastening attention on the fact
that the administration is pulling the
wires that make the Senate puppets
jump.
The Liter fyn.aska: " Won't B.me of
the cuckoo organs point to a Democratic
speech in the United States Senate hicb
does not apologiza for the makeshift
Wilson bill ? They all uckuowledge that
it is cot a bill made in accord with the
platform, and that its leading measures
are antagonistic to all the teachings of
the party. It is only Democratic because
the great and only boss of the party has
so ordered it."
Say the Liter .ni: "The elections
in every Northern State the past year
point unmistakably to the fact that the
people believe the political blunder of
lS'.rj was the greatest of the century.
And yet the organs and statesmen of
Washington are harping about "redeem
ing their pledges to the people." They
well know tht the people will reverse
the verdict of 1S'2, an 1 that they have
done so at every opportunity."
Simkase VltruuicU: Yt-terday t!;ere
was one of the Spokane Coxeyites in a
down town business house begging f .r
money and James Lynch was standing
by and heard him. Mr. Lynch told him
he would give him six months' work at
$2.50 a day on the Idaho State wagon
road, for which he had the contract, and
that he would take 100 more of the men
at the same wages. But the man refused
to accept it, saying that he was no scab
laborer and didn't want the job.
New oKt Sun: Bat the real Coxey "s
army, the real danger to the public se
curity, the real beginner of sinister iano
vations in the laws is not encam)ed in
Bright wood Park or parading the streets
of Washington. Tl'e genuine Coxey s
army is composed of thos3 men in the
Congress whose wish to enact a proscrip
tive law against the rich, erect a system
of classes anl elm taxation, and pro
claim the commune upon the statute
books.
About this genuine Coxey's army, the
income-tax Coxeyites, there is nothing
ridiculous. It is a real and appalling
dancer. Until it is beaten, the red flag
will continue to float over the Capitol.
Down with the rel flag! No income
tax for the freemen's backs !
The President and the Tramps.
From the New York Tribune.
President Cleveland is reported to have
saddled the reionsib:!ity for the tramp agi
tation upon the newspairs. In his judg
ment they have paid undue attention to the
vj?ries of men like Coxey and to the ma
n e jvres of the wandering unemployed now
para lin in the West and in the East and
unfurling their banners ia the streets of
Washington. They have creaied, the Presi
dent thinks, an appeiite for notoriety and a
thirst for eccentric a lreuture. If the news
papers had not advertised the lirst traveling
variety show organized by Coxey, it would
not have en'.iste-J a swarm of imi'ators nor
have involved disturbance of railway tratiic
and aa outbreak of criminal lawlessness.
We supct that the newspapers have had
something to do with instigating the tramp
movement, but not in the way suggesttd by
the cynical rt-fiectious of the President. It
has been the responsible duty of the press of
both parties to discuss the great public issue
which the President himself brought before
the attention of the country iu the last two
annual messages of his first term, and to
which, as ' the People's cause," he conse
crated himself in the last National canvass.
That issue bas developed social restlessness
and class discontent, and calminated in
Populist agitation, c!as3 legislation acd the
march of the tramps across the continent.
President Cleveland bas done more ihn
any oilier Anitriran in r.cent times to pro
duce this prevailing feeling of social unrest.
His first appeal to the spirit of discontent
was made in December, 1-7, when the coun
try was prosperous, the public debt shrink
ing every year and the Treasury overflowing
with the surplus revenues. In his tari3
message be denounced the a v stem to which
labor and caf ital had been satisfactorily ad
justed for nearly thirty years as a vicious
source of unnecessary taxation, by which
working people were systematically robbed
He described the Treasury as a Loarding
piaoe for money withdrawn from trade and
the people's use, and asserted that the conn
try's development was suspended and para-
Ivaej by prevailing financial methods. In
that message were the germs of the ensuing
Ieraocratic agitation Sfc-iinst protection as
aa 'inequitable and monstrous system for
enriching the few and ro'.bing the many"
and alto of the Populist idea that theTreav
nry should be emptied for the people's use.
TLe Presidential canvass of 1802 witnessed
the triumph of the Democratic-Populist co
alition. The Nation voted against Protec
tion, not because the times were bad, but
be-us President Cleveland and his Popu
list aliies bad convinced a Urge majority of
the American people that prosperity was
unequally divided among classes, that the
rich were getting too much, and that the
farmers and the wage-earners were not ob
taining a fair and proportionate share of the
It was in the benr of defeat in 1SS3 when
the people repudiated bis ideal and opened
the way for four Harrison years of excep
tional prosperity that the President's appeal
to social restiesanesa was loudest and most
doc' amatory. In his message of that year
he described American cities as the abiding
placenof wealth and luxury ; manufactories
a yielding fortunes never dreamed of by the
fathers of the Republic : . business men as
madly striving in the race for riches ; the
working classes as overwhelmed with pov
erty, wretchedness and unremunerative toil ;
wealth as the result of discriminating favor
of the Government and largely built upon
undue exactions from the masses, and the
gulf between employers snd employed as
constantly widening with class legislation.
That message with iu sympathetic referen
ces to the farmers, "long-suffering and pa
tient, struggling in the race of life with the
hardest and must unremitting toi," and to
the working-man, "struggling far in the rear
or trampled to datb beneath an iron heel '
has supplied demagogues East aud West for
si i years with ammunition against "the
communism of combined wealth and capi
tal, the outgrowth of overwhelming cupidi
ty aud selfishness, which insidiously under
mines the justice and integrity of free insti
tutions," and "is not less dangerous than
the communism of oppressed poverty and
toil which, exasperated by injustice and dis
content, attacks with wild disorder the cita
del of power.'-
Americans ought at least to be just to
Coxey and the other fanatics who are now
heading for the "citadel of power" in Wash
ington. Tbey are demagogues lusting after
notoriety with or without the help of the
newspapers, but they are mild and temper
ate in speech in comparison with the distin
guished American who inspired the discon
tent of the country with prosperity, arrayed
clais aeainst class, and broujrht on some
thing closely resembling a social revolution
in the Populist movement. The tramps in
vading Washington in Cleveland hard times
are converts to the President's own doc
trines. Thev have been slow in coming,
but tbey are there at last, although be may
be reluctant to welcome them.
Breckinridge After Votes.
Lexixctox, Ky., May 6. Col. W. C. P.
Breckinridge made his opening address
here ve terdav in his caropaiKU for a re-
nomination to Congress. People from a:l
over the district were present, but certain
better elements that formerly creeled the
man when he spoke here were missing,
Not one woman was in the audience be
faced. Apparently he recognized the foras
he muMt fight, for in Lis speech he con-
ciiia'.eU aU uenca. .o man proiesseu purer,
loftier sentiments with reference to heaven
and borne. He preached Chnst and Hun
crucified with all the eloquence and fer
vor for which he is famous; he avowed the
diri-est contrition for his sins, but he re
proached the ministers who bave assailed
Lim from their pulpits and the journalists
who have upbraided biro for daring to make
the race under cloud of the great scandal.
After reviewing his boyhood life at
Lexicirton. his public services ia the Con
federate arrr y aiid in Congress, Col. Ureck
inridge said :
I do not wish this district to conceive
that I Lave any defense to make for what I
have done and of which I have been guilty.
EatangUd by weakness, by passion, by sin,
in coils which it Has almost impossible to
break, I did everything that was within my
power to prevent a public scandal, except
the one thing which for no moment ever
entered mv mind. Your reelect ion of me
can never take from nor add to the punish
nient I have suffered."
The applause he got all oirue from i
clscaue led bv Kultrral office holders. The
speaker exhausted all the arts of oratory
There could have been no finer acting, if it
was actine. When be closed part of the
audience jumped on the stage to grap his
hand. and. with tears ta his eyes, he was
carried for squares by the applauding crowd
The warmth of this demonstraton was past
doubt, but those who took part were not
over . or 5u0.
Last evenir.g Col. Bre. kinridge appeared
before the session of the Mr. Horeb Church'
of which be is a member, ia answer to
summons. He confessed bis guilt and
after a consultation th session decided to
forgive him and restore him to good stand

WATTE1SOS PAKS AT LAST.
LscisViLLE, Ky., May 6. The "Cvuricr
Jjurnal." which bas heretofore maintained
a position of strict neutrality regarding the
case of Congressman W. C. P. Breckiuridge
since the beginning cf the Pollard scandal
breaks si:ence in an editorial to-day, declar
ing that Mr. Breckinridge should be beaten
for reuominatiou. The paper says :
The situation in the Ashland district,
unfortunate as it is unprecedented, makes
it imperative that every J'jttrnal which has
the good of tbe party at heart, which
cherishes the honor of iu State and which
appreciates its obligations to society, shall
protest with all iu power against the re
election to Congress of Col. W. C. P. Breck
inride. The question simply is, do the
people of Kentucky propose to send
re oreenta!ive to Congress the man whom
Col. Bieckinridge confessed himself to be i
bis testimony btfore a Washington jury
It is a question which transcendesthe limits
of the Ashland, district and of Kentucky it
self. It is a question in which the peopli
of the eutire Nation are deeply interested.
That part of his speech yesterday, devoted
to the scacdul in which he bas figured, were
better passed over in pity. It is a strange
exhibition of marvelous cffiontry, wretched
Us'.e and mentally and morally oblique
casuistry.
Fifteen Fall Under Fire.
fcoTTDALE, Ta. May 4. Rioting and blood
shed broke out with redoubled force about 5
o'clock this morning at the Paiuter works of
the McClure Company, about two miles
north of here. Hanzarian women led tbe
desperate mob, which numbered about l,
and marched in front when it made the
onslaught. Among those known to be most
seriously injured are the following :
A FEW Of THE WOrSDED
Panford White, mine superintendent,
Ea-ing B. Roddy, the bookkeeper, John

head split with an ax, Stephen You;ki. shot

woman, shot in the thigh.
BLOOPTHIISTT ASSACLT8.
White and Rody were surrounded and ter
ribly beatea over the bead and about the
body. White was knocked down by
hatchet wielded in the bands of a big Slay
He was also cut with a hatchet in tbe hands
of an Hungarian woman. As belay nncon
scions upon the ground, the blood sp irting
from the deep gashes oa the head, another
Slav rushed upon him and wai about to
deal him a death blow wilh aa ax, when
James Tarr, one of the store clerks knocked
him down with a club.
By a desperate rescue White was then
dragged into the ne'ghboring engine house.
Later he was Uken to the Miners' Hospital,
at Connellsuille, where, at last accounts, bit
recovery was considered doubtful.
Roddy was brought here to his home. His
injuries, which were at first thought to be
fatal, are now declared not serious, and be
will recover. The foreigners were carried to
adjoining hius-3 and cared for by Dra. Rjg.
en and Fetters.
SEVESAL BI NS rosaiHLT K.ILLEP.
It is thought thai two of the Huns who
were shot in the riot will hardly recover.
AKVED FOE WICKED WOSE.
The men and womeo were armed with

0XEY CHASED OUT.
The Commonweal Army Makes an
Assault on the Capitol.
A BIG ROW IS THE RESULT.
Three hundred and fifty ragged, dirty.
hungry, thirsty and weary men marched
down historic Penn'a avenue, Washington,
D. C, May 1st, amid the shouts and jeers
of a great multitude of the idle and curiosity-loving
portion of Washington's citizens.
Tbe marching men composed the "Arm; of
tbe Commonweal of Christ." At the close
of their long tramp, which began at Massil
lon, Ohio, five weeks ago, and ended at the
steps of the Capitol of the United Stales
Tuesday, amid sunshine and flowers, but
frowned upon by the legislators, whose beads
and hearts the army hoped to touch. At
the bead of tbe motley procession that wend
ed its way through the streeU of Washing
ton, lovely in her early summer dres, rods
the pretty daughter of " General" Jacob 8.
Coxey, the originator of this Quixotic ap
peal to the Congress of America. She was
dressed in white, as a symbol of her message
of peace, nd mounted on her beautiful
while horse, she made a pretty picture, but
one deserving of a better setting. Ia direct
command of the army rode Coxey himself
in an oien phaeton drawn by two handsome
ponies. Tbe lieutenant under Coxey was
the notorious Carl Brown. He rode a great
grey stallion, which fell into line directly
behind the while robed army of peace. But
toned tightly about his robust form was a
greasy horse-hido coat that he had neyer
parted company with since bis long march
to the Capital began. Not to be left out
in the cold Mr. Christopher Columbus
Jones, the grand marshal of the Philadel
phia contingent, joined the tail end of tbe
procession, and at the bead of this relay
rode another lady on another big horse.
This horse was a bay, and the laJy on its
back called herself Miss La Vellette, and she
personified the Goddess of Liberty. Her
bead was covered with a turban made of a
small United States flag, and she appeared
to be proud of her distinction, turning to
cast a smile at Mr. Jones, who rode in state
in a handsome cab a few feet behind her.
The army carried staves for weapons and all
sorts of things for banners.
Whea they attempted as an army to
march in to the Capitol grounds they were
rudely pushed'back by mounted and un
mounted policemen, and when their leader
attempted to make the speech he came 703
miles to make, he was gently but contempt
uously elbowed down the steps to the out
side of the grounds by the captain of the po
lice. H e as not arrested, and he was not
maltreated, but he did not make the speech
that he had come to make, and with his fail
ure ail the glory and enthusiasm and right
eousness and stability of the cause of the
Army of tbe Commonweal of Christ seemed
to go out like air from a collapsed balloon.
Tbe big-lunged Carl Browne, inde?d, at
tempted to "exercise his rights," as he ex
pressed it, and in spite of tbe waruings of
the police he urged his il'X horse to jump
the coping that confines the Capitol lawn,
and then carried his bravado still further by
resisting the attempt of the orticers to re
press him. He was jostled and pushed, but
not clubbed, and still remaining fractious be
was arrested and thrown into jail. At 4
o'clock he secured bail and was set at liberty.
Unlike Coxey, Brown sought arrest, and is
now posing as a martyr, just as he intended
to do. The olBoers did not seek to arrest
him, but were compelled to.
Christopher Columbus Jones, of Phils lei
phia, not to be outdone by Browne, raised a
rumpus also, and he, too, was placed in dur
ance vile, but not having command of the
financial resources that seem always opeu to
Browue, be remained in jail until the next
morning when be was liberated.
WHAT COXEY aOl'LD HAVE SAID.
The following is what Coxey intended to
say:
"The constitution of the United States
guarantees to all c.tizcus the right to assem
ble peacefully and petition for redress of
grievauces, and furthermore declares that
the right of free speech shall not be abridg
ed. U e stand here to-day to test these guar
antees of our Constitution. We choose this
place of assemblage because it is the proper
ty of the people, aud if it be that the right
of the people to peacefully assemble upon
their own premises and with their petitions
bas been abridged by tbe passage of laws in
direct violation of the Constitution, we are
hire to draw the eyes of tbe entire natu n.
"Up these steps the lobbyists of 'rusts and
corporations bave passed unchallenged en
their way to committee rooms, to which we,
tbe representatives of tbe toiling wealth pro
ducers, bave been denied. W e stand fcere
to-day in behalf of millions of toilers,
whose prayers bave been un responded to,
and wbote opportunities for honest remu
nerative productive labor bas been taken
from them by unjust legislation, which pro
tects idlers, speculators and gamblers.
" Weconie to remind Congress of the dec
larations of a United States Senator 'that for
a quarter of a century tbe rich bave been
growing richer, the oor poorer, and that by
the close of tbe present century the middle
classes will have disappeared, as the Strug
gle for existence becomes tierce and relent
less.' " We stand here to remind Congress of its
promise of ret uming prosperity should the
'eberman act' be repealed. We stand here
to declare by our march of over 5uo miles
through dithcullies and distress, a march
unstained by even tbe slightest act which
would bring tbe blush of shame to any, that
we are law abiding citizens, and as such our
actions speak louder than words.
"We are here to petition for legislation
which will furnish employment for every
man ame aud wining to work: tor legtsla
tion which wilt bring universal proserity
and emancipate our beloved country from
financial bondage to the descendants of
King George. We have come to the only
source which is competent to ai I the people
in their day .cf dire distress. We are here
to tell our representatives, who bol 1 their
seats by grace of our oallots, that tbe strug
gle for existence has become far too fierce
and relentless.
" We come and throw up onr defenseless
bands and say Help, or we and our loved
ones must perish.' We are engaged in a hit
ter war with the enemies of all mankind a
war with hunger, wretchedness and despair
and we ask Congress to heed our petitions
and Issue for the nation's good a aulhdent

" In the name of Justice, through whose

our country, upon which tbe liberties of tbe
p-op!e must depend, and in the name of the
'Commonweal of Christ,' whose representa
tives we are, we enter a most solemn and
earnest protest against this unnecessary and
cruel art of usurpation and tyranny, and
thus enforced the subjugation of the rights
and privileges of American citizenship.
" v e have assembled here in violation of
no just laws to enjoy tbe privileges of every
American citii.-n. We are now under the
shadow of the Capital of this great nation,
and in the presence of our national legisla

" We bave com here through toil and
weary marches, through storms and temp

poverty and distress to lay our grievances at

them ia the name of Him whose banners

Tbe paper was signed : " J. 8. Coxey,
Commander of tbe Commonweal of Christ."
COXEY SATS ME WILL STICK.
When questioned as to the future, Coxey
said to-day :
Our plans are to simply sit down here
and wait. We will be joined by thousands
opon thousands of other unemployed peo
ple. For myself. I propose to lav aside rr.
err o her occupation and remain in Wash-
ingtoo nniii some action n taken by Con

cures . .
PERMANENTLY
afTording any relief to the unemployed, wt
will simply ilemvad that tbe President call
an extra session."
TBAMfi J0I5ISQ COXEY.
Washisotob, May ".It ia about settled
that tbe idle men now in Coxey's camp here
must be scattered. Tbe "army" has been re
ceiving stragglers until the 3X men Coxey
bad on Tuesday last was 529 this morning,
and by to-morrow night will be fully 7"0.
The camp will likely be condemned by
tbe health officer. This will drive tbe men
out of the dump lot and they will not be al
lowed to open another camp In the district.

A County Auditor Prosecuted.
Lascaster, Pa., May 4. County Auditor
Tobias Hershey is the defendant in a peculiar
lawsuit brought to day in Rapbo township
by the School Directors. Tbey allege that be
secured the Sporting Hill school bouse
without their consent one night in Marcb,
and lectured there. Tracts prepared by infi
dels, it is alleged, were sold by Hershey.
This caused a row among the residents of
the place, and the preachers wanted an in
vestigation. Mart's Inhumnnlty to Himself.
Tbe most inhuman outrages, outrages
which would disgrace the savage, man per
petrates upon hisown system by saallowing
drastic purgatives wlilc'i convulse his stom
ach, agonize his iuico.iucs aud weakens bis
system. Many people constantly do this
under the impression that medicaments only
which are violent in their action, and par
ticularly cathartics, are of any avail. Irre
pairable ii jury to health is wrought nnder
this mistaken idea. The laxative which
most nearly approaches the beneticient ac
tion of nature is Hostetter's Stomich Bit
ters, which is painless but thorough, and in
vigorates the intestinal canal instead of
weakening and irritating it. The liver and
tbe stomach share in the benign discipline
instituted by this comprehensive medicine,
whose healthful influence is felt throughout
the system. Malarious, rheumatic, kidney
and nervous complain's succumb to it
