The late Secretary of the Treasury William Windoni, said, almost with liis dying breath: "As poison in the Mood permeates arteries, veins, nerves, l.rain and heart, and speedily brings paralysis or death, so does a debased and fluctuating currency permeate n the arteries of trade, jiaralyze all kinds of business, and bring disaster to all t-lasses of JKSiple,'' Tjik President and the one living ex rreideiit are in exact agreement a.- to lionert nionev. tbouzh they belong to lifierett juirties. If the whole line of Presidents were alive it is safe to say that not one of them would tolerate for an instant the idea of a degraded dollar. Sen An us Carter, in an ojen letter to the Montana Rrepublican State con vention, denounces the Chicago plat form with its free trade and free riot feature as a "load greater than silver t an lierr." He advises the Republicans to declare for free silver, but to vote for McKinlev. Kx-Pkesnext Harrison demolishes in one single comparison the whole ar gument that the United States can iiloiie make a KUK-ent dollar out of a .ro-cent dollar under the free coinage of silver. "They can say," he remarks, "that ten muskrat skins are equal to one la-aver skin, but that does not make it so. The fur trader fixes the ratio." Tun September crop report estimates this vear's corn yield at -fiO.OJO.dOO bushels. Mr. Bryan says the best dol lar would be one of invariable purchas ing power. In that case the corn crop also should le one of invariable sie, and this year's jicr capita of com would answer. It would be awkward, though, to have au invariable dollar and varia ble crops. ToM Watsox, of (Jeorgia, made an address at a I.alor Dav celebration in Ihilliis, Texas, in which Le devoted most of his time to ttersonal attacks on Sewall, the Democratic candidate for Vice President He declared he would not retire from the race in Sewall's fa vor. "If Bryan wins," he said, "it must lc as Bryan and Watson; If Bry an is defeated he can blame SewalL" K. A. Buii.Eit, Collet-tor of Internal Revenue fur the Pittsburg district em- Ihutical!y repudiates Candidate Bryan Atid the whole Popocratic crowd, says tin- Pitt.burg Times. "lean not ima j;iue how anylady could get my name mixed up with the advocates of free sil ver," said he. "I have Uvu agai:ist the Chicago platform and against Bry an ever ince he was nominated. I am uneiiui vtK-ally for Palmer and Buckuer, and have never had the slightest hesi tation alaiut expressing myself as to my isHion. I was one of the men who Mere instrumental in calling a eonven tioii of sound money Democrats in my iwn unty, Clearfield, which sent full delegation to the State convention at Philadelphia." The large Iemocratic majority in Arkansas will surprise no one who has tkt the ran of elections in that State. It matters little how the voting is done, ir whether it is done at all or not the Tsuit is the same. The Democratic Eeawlcr could tell as well a week U fore theclectwri what majority their ticket would have, as they could a week af terward. This year circumstauces de manded that the figures should le raised a little over other years, and so liK-y raised them. In these extreme tvajthern Slates there is no pretense of a fair election; that is not in their line, l"M-nn-rly tle elections there were car ried by violence; more recently it is done by fraud. It U ouly in the border States that there is any pretense of hon- t-st elect Urns. Chairman li. M. Liu Urn, of the lK-ntocratic Couuty Committee, is quoU ei in the Pittsburg Post, on Mondayt as having delivered himself of the fol lowing sX a meeting of Democratic Chairmen held Thursday night in Har risburg : Xot a single iKanocrat in our county bas boiled the ticket nominated at Chi ei. said K. M. Linuta, of Somerset, to the other chairmen. "I have not beard. be continued, f a hiucle lemo rratwhitwaa even displeased. Ail our people are highly embualav.ic over the action of the couvetuiou. 3 "t n the other hand, we are making big inroads in the Kepublican rank. Some of the oldest Republicans in the county have declared their inteutions of voting f.r Mr. Bryan. I challenge any odd in my county to deny these statements." The Hkrald will not be unkind nrh to aav that Mr. Linton Is "deaf, dumb and blind," but it would suggest tliat he replace the sieve now covering his intellect with a hat Xevkr before in the history of this StHte has such a degrading sixvtacle been witnessed in the governing body of any political party as was eximntea in the alleged Democratic Mate con vention at Harrisburg yesterday, says the Pittburg Times of the llth inst. It neeiiis utterly inconceivable that a large body of men, presumably possess- in self-respw-t. and influential among their warty associates throughout this great commonwealth, should in Sep- teialierdcliJieratcly repudiate tue action thev unanimously took in April and thus stultify themselves and their party before the eyes of the whole nation. Xot the Kliirhtest pretense is made that their convictions upon the subjects treated of in the platform adopted last A nril have changed, or that they nae any real U-licf in the heresies they in dorsed yesterday. The only reason ior their pusillanimous surrender of prin ciple is because they hope, in the im probable event of Mr. Bryan's election, to l mid for their abject surrender of every real Democratic principle with a few Federal oflices. One weeK a:ter me election, when it is known that Bryan and Pojocracy have gone down togeth er in irretrievable defeat, the very men who were loudest yesterday lu betray ing the real Democracy of Pennsylva nia M ill begin to be loudest in condem nation of the wild and foolish action of the Chicago convention, the indorse ment of which yesterday led to their own undoing. The whole proceedings at Harrisburg yesterday were calculated to make every true Pennsylvania Democrat indignant at the disgrace put upon his party in this State. All law and precedent were overridden in the organization of the convention and in its adoption of a new tilatform. The protest entered by the sound money Democrats was most cred itable to those who made it, and, des pite the fact that it and they were isrnominiously treated, in a couple of months, when the Populist ic control of the IVmocracy has leen forever bro ken, the men who made the protest will lie those the Pennsylvania Democracy will delight to honor. The resolutions adopted by yester day's rump convention, strangely enough, wind up with the affirmation of the U-licf that the nomination of Bryan and Sewall means that a govern ment of the people, by the people and for the people shall not terUh m)m the earth; but such an unrighteous and un justifiable surreudcr of vital principle as yesterday's convention made, unless fittingly rebuked, as It will be lit the polls, will make many honest citizens almost despair of the republic. One of Bryan's Sophistriea. In all of his speeches Mr. Bryan dwells uon the alleged inconsistency of the Re publicans in declaring for the mainten ance of the gold standard and at the same time favoring an international arrange ment for the larger use of silver. "If the gold standard is a good thing," he asks day after day, "why do they want foreign nuioim to help us let go of it?" This bit of sophistry in on a par with the rest of his so-called arguments against sound money and a safe standard of value. As a matter of fart, the Republicans are not looking for a way to get rid of the gold standard. They say in their platform. We are opposed to the free coinage of silver, except by international agreement with the leading eotiin n-ial nations of the earth, which agreement we pledge ourselves to promote." This does not mean that they prefer a double standard, or an alternating standard, but only that ihey believe that our tlovernment should cooperate w ith others, whenever such a thing is possible, for the buying and coin ing of the world's output of silver uuder such conditions as shall not endanger the permanency of the gold standard. This is the kind of bimetallism which they are pledged to promote, and not the kind that would abolish the gold standard. There is no inconsistency in such an at titude, and no qualification of the decla ration for the maintenance of the present standard. The Republican party is not the enemy of silver; It has put more of that metal in use as money than any other party in our history. If all the silver in existence could lie coined to-morrow and kept on a parity with gold, the Republic ans would tie glad to see it done. But they know that the conditions are now sueh that a step of that aort w ould destroy the ML- standard and put the country on a 5-'!c lasis, with disastrous consoqiumces to all classes. Therefore, they are oppos ed to free coinage, as they say, "except by international agreement," or, in other words, under conditions giving assurance of exemption from the evils of a depre ciated currency. They are not against silver simply bemuse it U white instead of yellow, but because the free and un limited coinage of it as circumstances now stand would le a capaeious misfor tune. Whenever other nations w ill enter into an agreement witU ours for the pur pose of doing what no one nation can do alone that is, coining the whole silver product of the earth on such terms as will insure the continuance of the gld stand ardthere will l no obje-tion from the Republican party; but until that time -ouies the power of that party will cor tainlv Ikj exerted to the utmost for the prevention of an experiment that wmil inevilaMv result in the substitution of pKr money for good money, and the in fliction of immeasurable loss and misery upon the country. St. Louis Ololie-Dem oeraL Tne Money of the Confutation. Philadelphia Record. Mr. Bryan in his speeches talks of "gold and silver, the money of the Con stitlltion,, and we oliserve that his Pojk cratie followers have painted the same words on their banners and flags. Thus ignorance l-gets ignorance and spreaiis it abroad. The Constitution does not require that money shall lie made of gold or silver. nor of copper or nickel. The only men tion of gold and silver therein is the pro hibitive clause by which the power is de nied to the States of making anything else than gold ar.d silver a legal tender. The Constitution gives to Congress the power "to coin inonev, regulate the value there of, and of foreign coins," and there it stops. The makers of the Constitution were sensible of the fact that the power to control the market price of gold or silver, or of copper or com, or of anything else, was, as Jefferson put it, "a mercantile problem." It was reserved for the Popu lists to discover the error of the fathers. Thonei Across th Ocean. Ixnihis, Sept. 9. A dispatch from Odessa to-day says that M.

Mr. Cyrus F.lder, solicitor of the Cam bria Iron Works which has been com pelled to shut down for lack of orders wrote for the Johnstown Tribune, before the mill closed, an interesting letter, from w hich the following is taken : Mr. Bryan says: "Theouly way to stop the increasing flow of gold from our shores is to stop falling prices." Falling prices of what ? Falling prices of the ag ricultural product, which we export in payments of our foreign debts. That means or course, that beef, irkand grain and Hour are to be increased in price, w hich w ill add to the cost of living of the workingmen. What does he propose to lo for them Nothing. He spoke and voted in favor of the Wilson hilt He is rahid free trader. He has a smattering if lieforo-the-war Knglish iolilieal econ omy, and proliably Is-licves that protec tion is a fraud, and that the Democratic tariff, w hich he helped to enact, is a bless ing to the country. The n-orkinennan who votes for Ilryan w ishes to perpetuate and intensify the blight w hich hits fallen upon American industries. If Bryan is elected, there win be no more work than at present but less and no improvement In wages. Mr. Brvan and his party started out four years ago to cheapen everything. Cheapness was the great desideratum. The tariff robliers were to be effectually xonolehfio1. Our norts were to 1 open to cheap goods from foreign countries, and all the land was to lie covered witn uiess sings and benefits. They were active in 1SP2, as they are now. arravinc the masses against the classes the workingmen against the em ployers of labor and they were success ful. Their lies w ere credited and their promises were trusted, and w hat has lieen the result? The injury done to the farmers and workinirmen under only one schedule- that of wool and woolens in t heWiison CJoruian act w as not the only mischief in the act. The iron and steel schedule was not hit as hard as some others, and the three Confederate inemlers of the House w ho framed the bill that finally passed favored cotton, liecause it is a Southern industry; but in the end all have suffered alike, bes-ause one industry cannot lie prosperous while the others are prostrated. The election of the Republican House in 1S!4 and the hope of tariff legislation brouirhtonan improvement in prices of l&rl and the advance in wages, but the lUngley bill w as dufeuted in the Senate bv a combination of I lemocrats and Popu lists ; the short-lived liooin went a glim mering, and the business sitnation now is nearly as liad and promises to i worse than any time since the Democratic party came into power. Kfforts have lieen made to show the loss caused to the different industries and to the country at lame by Mr. Brvan and his free trade as sociates, but the figures are so large, as to lie bewildering, and no publication lias lieen made of the precise facts disclosed in the operations of a particular and rep resentative business. I propose to supply the omission. The comparison of wages paid by the Cambria Iron Company and values of its nroduc-ts in 1SII3 and ISM as compared with that banuer year lsfti is accurate ly statid as follows, wages at mines ueing included : Camrria Iron Company Kxhuut. LOSS TO WORKIXOMES, There w ere fc, less w ages paid in 1 than in lMi There w ere f 1,."iin410 less wages paid in 1S!4 than in 1S. The loss of wages in two years amount ed to f2,3U,Nt I.OSS TOIXOIPASY. The value of the product of Cambria Iron Company in 1sh5 was fJ,'d,0') less than in 1C The value of the product in 1S4 was M,!ilvi less than in HC The shrinkage in two years amounted to 0 'SO,ai. These are hard, cold facts, and not glittering generalities. Apply them to the whole country and see what they mean, for Johnstown was no worse off than other places, and the iron trade was letter off than some other industries. It discloses a strain under w hich many em plovers of labor went to the wall, and there was the sacrifice of the lifesavings of a nation of workingmen. Plenty was replaced by the pinch of penury. The consuming power tf the wage-earners was lost, and every business interest has suffered with them, for the farmer did not escape. His ex ,rt liusiness is a tritle compared with th home market and a large part of the two and one-half mil lions of wages, w hich would have been paid out if the Br an years bad lieen equal to the Mc-Kinley year would have found its way into the farmer s pocket. It would have gone not only to the local farmers, but all over the country to Southern farmers for fruit and early veg etables; to Western farmers for beef, pork, lard and llour, and for corn in the solid and liquid state, and as much bar ley as finds its way into beer. It is the workingman's dollar that moves the whole industrial world. In the Bryan years there was plenty of money in the country, but there was no w ay of getting it into circulation. In the proper sense money w as not plenty, be-i-anse work was not plenty, and work was not plenty liecause Mr. Bryan and his parly had closed the American mills and oiiened the miiis of foreign countries. Values have shrunk taster and farther than wages, aud the classes ar.d the misses are in the same b-iat. Free trade i n bus smitten with impartialn had I mth employers and workingmen, yet Mr. Bryan, when asked "How about the tariff?" smiled and saidt "The tariff is not an issue this year." Mr. Bryan should explain why the crime of ls7-l which be denounces, the demonetization of silver which he la wails, never hurt anybody while protec tion was in force. Why did It sluinler for twenty years during Republican rule and only awake to pernicious activity when the Democratic party came into power? Where was it hiding in Iff fi, and w here did it appear as a holy terror, ver itable bloody eyes and bloody bones, in l-SiPJ. after M r. Bryan and his party had fixed their free trade bomb to blow our industries into the air? He must lie a great simpleton w ho can not see that it is not the crime of Id but the crime of IsHt, which is the cause of all our woes. Xot daring to make a campaign on the tariff, tbe shrewd Southern politicians w ho control the DeinM-ratic party con eluded to change the subject. They put out the lilver question as a sort of pigs in-the-clover puzzle, calculating that tbe people would tie ho interested in it that they would forget their blighted Indus ierts and !st and impoverished homes. It was smart politic and drover Cleve land mast lie lit to bite himself that cir cumstances prevented him from inventing it for it is just tbe kind of a dodge he de lights in. It promised well at tbe start. for it scared the newspapers in the East ern States into fits, anil their frenzied ravings scared the w hole country. But s mity is returning. Day by day it is dis closed more clearly that the lessons of the la -a three years have not been forgotten. and what tbe people want and will have is Mc-Kinley and protection.

GROVES SPEAKS. Rational Democracy Has His Indorse mentA letter From Carlisle. Louisville, September 12, !. Sena tor John McAuley Palmer, of Springfield 111., and General Simon Bolivar Buckner of Hart county, Kentucky, w ere formally notified at the Anditoriuui to-night that they are the nominees of the National Democracy for President and ice Presi dent i" the presence of the greatest audience that ever attended a political gathering in Kentucky. Tbe meeting was presided over by Hon. W. P. Bynum, of Indiana, chair man of the National Democratic excita tive committee. United Slates Senator Donelson Caflery, of Louisiana, notified Senator Palmer, and Colonel John It Fellows, of New York, informed General Buckner of the honor conferred upon him. The two standard bearers replied in turn, and were greeted with such ap plause as to make the tug iHiilding tremble. The sensation of the evening was the reading of letters from President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle, The letters follow: Cl ROVER AS D CARLISLE. "Brr-ZARP's Bay, Mass., Sept 10, "Hon. W. D. Bynum, Indianapolis: "I regret that I cannot accept your in vitation to attend tho notification meet ing on Saturday evening. As a Demo crat devoted to tho principles and in tegrity of my party, I should be delight ed to be present on an occasion so signifi cant and to mingle with those who are determined that the voice of true Democ racy shall not le smothered and who in sist that its glorious standard shall lie borne aloft as of old in faithful hamls. (Signed.) "Grover Clevklaxd." "Bar Harbor, Me., Sept 12, lsrw. Hon. W. D.

"I am proud to take my stand with the old-fashioned Democrats who have re fused to abandon their honest convictions in order to form unnatural alliances with political and social organizations whose purposes are dangerous to the country and w holly inconsistent with the funda mental principles of our party, and I pledge to you and your associates such support and assistance as I can properly give during the campaign. (Signed.) "J. G. Carlisle." The Nebraska Mongoose. It is not improliable, says the X. Y. Tribune, that many of the toiling masses who during the last few weeks have en joyed the felicity of listening to the sil very gurgle of the Boy Orator as he meandered through the country scatter ing eloquem-e and peddling soap, may have lieen momentarily confused by the glibness of his speech or rattled by the cordiality of his handshake and the fas cinations of his smile. Maybe when he dwelt with unction that was almost tear ful upon the indications which he saw all around him that some men whom he called the "classes" were living in coin fort and even luxury without being obliged to laltor with their bands, while others whom he called the "inasscVwere dependent for daily subsistence upon their toil it may lie that some of them, listening to such appeals to their preju dices and their ignorance, did think for a time that they were actually the victims of some sort of oppression and tyranny which they did not quite understand, but ought at all hazards to be thrown off. And quite likely, too, many of these wage-earners were impressed with the notion that this political phenomenon. the Boy Orator, if he- were President of the United States, could and would, out of hand, by some sort of fiat or incanta tion, nut down tho oppressor and set up tbe oppressed, put an end to all the wrongs and outrages perpetrated by the Vlasses" upon the "masses" and present ly make all the toilers prosperous and happy. But unless the Boy Orator has convinc ed a majority of the toilers of (wo things. first that they are actually the victims of a universal conspiracy by the prosperous, at w hose hands they are suffering all manner of wrongs, impositions and out rages; and, second, that the Boy Orator, if elected, will put an end to all these troubles and distresses, his pilgrimage has been in vain. His converts have t be convinced, in the first place, that the wrongs are actual which the Boy Orator says they aro suffering, and then that tbe Boy Orator can cure them. And they will have to stay convinced until Elec tion day in November. The chances are ten to one that this will not happen. Be tween this time and Flection Day most of the toilers with whom the Boy Orator has lieen fooling will have had time and opportunity to ask questions and gather information upon these two points : Are the grievances real? Can the Boy remedy them? Then Mr. William Jennings Bry an will cease to be recognized as the Boy Orator of the Platte, and will pass into history as the political mongoose of Ne- braska. For the habits of the mongoose are peculiar. It is related that upon one occasion a traveller who was carrying a csge containing a queer-looking animal was asked by a person of inquiring mind what sort of an animal it was. "It's a mongoose," was the answer. "And w hat, pray, is a mongoose?" "Why a mongoose is an animal that 'eats up all " the suakes and things that a fellow sees "when he has the delirium tremens." "Old" said the inquirer, in a dazed way, "that's it eh?" Then, alter a moment's reflection: "But thoso are not real spake!" "To be sure not" calmly an swered the traveller, "neither is this a real mongoose." The Boy Orator may be able to Intoxi cate tbe senses of dull-witted persons with oratorical delirium, in which they seem to see snakes and other horrors. and they may relieve fir the moment that be is tbe mongoose to eat up the snakes and bring relief. But they will not be long finding out not only that they are not real snakes, but that he is not a real mongoose. Secretary Lxmont for Palmer and Buckner. Wamhxutox, Sept 8.

HOBART WHITES ACCEPTING THE NOMINATION For Vice President A Vigorous Document Garret A. Hobart, the Republican nominee for Vice President has address ed bis letter of acceptance to the Com mittee of Notification. In dealing with the silver question Mr. Hobart says : The free coinage of silver at the ratio of lti to I is a policy which no nation has ever before proposed, and it is not per mitted to-day in any mint in the world not even in Mexico. It is promised to make the coinage unlimited at an abso lutely fictitious ratio, fixed with no refer ence to intrinsic value or pledge of ulti mate redemption. With silver at its pres ent price of less than seventy cents per ounce in the market such a policy means au immediate profit to the seller of silver for which there is no return now or here after to the people of the Government It means that for each dollar's worth of sil ver bulliou delivered at the mint prac tically two dollars of stamped coin will be delivered in exchange. For one hun dred dollars' worth of bullion nearly two hundred silver dollars will lie delivered. Let it also be rcmeiuliered that the con sequences of such au act would proliably Ik? cumulative in their effects. The crop of silver, unlike tfeat of hay, or wheat or corn which, being of yearly production, can be regulated by the law of demand and supply is fixed once for all. The silver which has not yet been gathered is all in the ground. Dearth or other acci dents of tbe elements can not augment or diminish it Is it not moro than prolmblo that with the enormous premium offered for its mining the cupidity of man would make an over-supply continuous, with the necessary result of a steady deprecia tion as long as the silver dollar could be kept in circulation at all? Under the laws of finance, which are as fixed as those of any other science, the inevitable result would finally be a currency all aud absolutely fiat. There is no difference in principle between a dollar half fiat and one all fiat. The latter, as the cheapest. under the logic of "cheap money," would surely drive the other out Any attempt on the part of the Govern ment to create, by its fiat money of a fic titious value, would dishonor us in the eyes of other peoples and bring infinite reproach upon the national character. The business and financial consequences of such an immoral act would bo world wide, because our commercial relations are world-wide. All our settlements with other lands must be made, not with the money w hich may lie legally current in our own country, but in gold, the standard of all nations with which our relations are most cordial and extensive. and no legislative enactment can free us from that inevitable necessity. It is a known fact that more than eighty per cent of the commerce of the world is set tled in gold or on a gold basis. Mr. Hobart deals with the great com mercial interests of the country which free coinage would injuriously affo-t. These represent saviug lutuks, building and loan associations, pensions and in surance companies. Tho magnitude of the disaster which, he says, would over take these and cognate interests liecomes more strikingly apparent when consider ed in the aggregate. Stated broadly, the savings hanks, life insurance and assess ment companies and building- and loan associations of the country hold in trust S1.VSU!717,3U. The debasement of the currency to a silver basis, as proposed by the Chicago platform, would wipe out at one blow approximately $7,SHiV',t?''' of this aggregate. According to the report of the Department of Agriculture the total value of the main cereal crops in this country in 14 was fUCi, 438,107. So that the total sum belonging to tbe peo ple and held in trust by these institu tions which would be obliterated by the triumph of bee and unlimited coinage of silver, would lie seven and one-half times the total value of the auuual cereal crop of the United States. The prosisition for free and unlimited silver coinage, carried to its logical con clusion, aud but one is possible, means. as before, intimated, legislative warrant for the repudiation of all existing indebt edness, public and private, to the exte nt of nearly fifty per cent, of the face of all such indebtedness. It demands an un limited volume of fiat curreucy, irre deemable and, therefore, without any standard value in the markeLs of the world. Every consideration of public interest and public honor demand that this propisition should be rejectee, by the American people. Devoting himself to other planks of the Chicago platform, Mr, Hobart says that it assails the judicial muniments reared by tbe Constitution for the defense of indi vidual rights and the public welfare, and it even threatens to destroy the integrity and independence of the Supreme Court, which has been considered the last refuge of the citizen against every form of out rage and injustice, and that not content with a proposition to thus debauch the currency and to unsettle all conditions of trade and commerce, the party responsi ble for this platform denies the compe tency of the Government to protect the lives and property of its citizens against internal disorder and violence. Mr. Hobart next refers to the unprece dented depression that prevails in tbe country at present, and then passes on to a brief discussion of protection and the tariff. He glances at the history of the Republican party in this connect ion, pro nounces in favor ot tbe purity and integ rity of the ballot and concludes as fol lows : Tbe Hepubllcan party has always stood for the protection of the American home. It bus aimed to secure it in tbe enjoyment of all the blessings of remunerated in dustry, of moral culture, and of favorable physical environment. It was the party which instituted the policy of free home steads and which holds now that this pol icy sliould lie ro-establishcd, and that the public lands yet vacant aud subject to entry in any part of our national territory should be preserved against corporate aggression as homes for tbe people. It realizes that the safety of the State lies in tbe multiplication of households aud tbe strengthening of that sentiment of which the virtuous home is the best and truest embodiment ; and it will aim to dignify and enlarge by all proper legislation this element of security. A Sufferer Cured "Every season, from the time I w;is ttvo years old, 1 suffered dread fully fmi erysijel:ts, which kept growing worse until my hands were almost useless. The bones softened so thai they would bend, and several of my lingers arc now crooked front this cause. On my hand I carry large scars, whicli, but for AYER'S Sarsaparilla, would lc sores, provided I 'was alive and able to carry anything. Eight bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured me, so that I have had no return of the disease for more than twenty years. The first bottle seemed to reach the spot and a jiorsistent use of it lias perfected the cure." O. C. Davis, Wautoma, Wis.
