A VICTORY
OF THE PEOPLE
are turned upside
V© down in State politics and
the tilth is being swept out.
The people are now asser Jlg
themselves and looking forward
to good government Tuesday's
election proves that we will not
stand eorruptuisi any longer, but
that the unclean a-id detiljd must
be seperated.
This was not a gr. n 1 Demo
cratic victory as may be express
ed, but a victory for pure govern
ment and righteous less.
That the revolt of the people
should not have come sooner is
due, perhaps, first of all, to the
fact that the evil politicians con
trived to involve Republican prin
ciples, in some degrto, with their
cause. The impetus given to Re
publicanism by the Civil War and
by the fact that the party has rep
resented protection to homo in
dustry has not sp>nt its force.
That the mass of the people
should have been steadfastly loyal
to the symbols which represent
an indestructible Unit n and per
manent prosperity is creditable to
their patriotism, even if their
good sense was unequal to percep
tion of the fact tl.a the knaves
were picking their pockets while
hurrahing for the Grand Old
Party. Comprehension of the
facts has been tardy, but nobody
can accuse the awakensd and in
formed people of leaving the work
of reformation incomplete when
they resolved to act. Kvc-y poli
tical knave in the State cowers
before the storm of popular fury
that swept over the Common
wealth Tuesday.
This great victory has momen
tous importance as ;> vindication
of the Republican principle. It
proves that the American people,
slothful and careless as they may
be at times in the performance of
their political duties, are, in fact,
completely capable of governing
themselves. When they arc op
pressed by wrong, when men in
high places become corrupt, when
grievances are many and the
machinery of the law is employed
to pronlote and maintain lawless
ness, they need turn to no "man
on horseback," to no ruler with a
strong arm, to no Caesar or
Napoleon. Stalwart with confid
ence in themsslves as freemen,
and with no weapon but the ballot,
wielded under shelter of the law,
they can smite down the oppress
or and the usurper and resume
control of the powers of their
government.
The statesmen who founded
this republic upon the basis of
the intelligence, the capacity and
the patriotism of individual citi
zens did not mistake the character
of their countrymen. Americans
have freedom because they are
worthy to be free. The citizens
who conducted the late campaign
against felony and infamy, and
who Tuesday swept t > destruction
the criminal political Organization
which for so long a time has
maintained a reign of terror in
Philadelphia and in the State,
proved themsolves deserving of
their inherit mce. No band of
robbers, no Gang of political des
peradoes, 110 audacious usurpers
of the people's rights can main
tain themselves against the assault
of an aroused and indignant com
munity, resolute for the restora
tion to their public affairs of the
principles of justice.
Of course this great light for
pure government had its eti'ects
on local elections and Montour
Democracy was one that s .liered
at the hands of tie voters knife,
for much cutting was done as will
lie socn on another page.

!j Little Dorothy's
Courtship
I By VIRGINIA LEILA WENTZ |:
Dorothy knew that it was about time
for Joan and the rest of them to be re;
turning from their sail on the lake. It
would never do for Joan to flud the
"big fish" of the house part}'—that was
the name slie had given the young Eng
lish earl—talking to her alone. She,
alas, was only poor little Cousin Doro
thy and acting In (his particular house
hold as Joan's mother's paid compan
ion! So she pretended to be bored
with his lordship's society.
"La-la, la-la, la-la-la," she hummed,
sinking back into the depths of the
easy chair and stretching her white
arms lazily.
"1 say," said the earl, "am I tiring
you. Miss Etorothy ?"
Dorothy stopped humming. "No,"
she drawled, with mock mischief, "not
exactly. But"—here she smiled her
sweetest smile upon him—"you won't
be vexed, will you, if I tell you that
I'm a bit sleepy and that I must sleep
in the suu? Will you druw tills chair
over for me, please?" Rising slowly,
she adjusted the lleur-de-lis at her
wuist while his lordship drew the chair
to the sunny corner of the big veranda.
"How'll that do?" asked he.
"Splendidly. Now for cushions."
"llow many?"
"Hundreds," said she.
lie collected as many as he could
carry and fetched them to her.
"Here are thousands," he announced.
"Delicious!"murniured Dorothy, sink
ing back into them with a sigh of con
tent. "This Is quite perfect."
"It will be when 1 fetch you a sun
shade," he amended.
"Sunshade!" cried she. "Go away,
you Goth! 1 want the sun."
"You'll be pickled!" warned he.
"No," corrected she, dimpling, "pre
served." Her long black lashes lay mo
tionless on the wild rose llush of her
cheeks.
The earl chuckled and, pretending
that he fancied her already asleep,
crept elaborately away on tiptoe. Jouu
and the rest of them were In sight,
and he advanced to meet them.
Joan Shannon was unquestionably a
beauty. She had been photographed In
every variety of pose; she had been
painted by several of the most cele
brated artists on two continents, but
in spite of this fact she had passed
through the whirl of three seasons and
was &till unwed.
"She must be wuitlng for a title,"
people said, as other girls far less
beautiful came out, danced through a
season or two, and were led to the
altar by men of their choice.
However that may be, included
among tlio guests at this particular
house party at the Shannon's big coun
try place on the sound was the young
Earl of Stowbridge, and it was common
property that Miss Shannon already
hail found him very attractive.
"So awfully sorry you couldn't Join
us in our sail this morning," she began
in her sweet, suave voice, with an ac
cent which was the result of much
travel. "Is your headache better now?"
" Ton my honor, I've not given it a
thought for the last half hour. I found
Miss Dorothy reading on the veranda,
and she took pity on me and put down
her book, and—well, somehow she must
have cured iny headache! She's got jol
ly pretty dimples, and she's a cousin
of yours, didn't some one say?"
"Yc3 —distant. Mamma never liked
me to associate much with her family
when we wero little, and now, as you
can imagine, we aren't very—er—con
genial."
"Such fun," observed the earl lacon
ically. Ills fair companion turned and
looked at him reproachfully. "And who
would wish to be 'fun?' " said she.
"Oh, I don't know," said his lordship
gallantly.
Miss Shannon found herself wonder
ing for a moment as they walked on
whether the earl might not prove testy
after all. Would ho be uneasy under
the crushing and ordering about to
which her father and mother submit
ted. If there was one thing she dislik
ed it was obstaeular people. Sho had
been brought up to expect people to
agree with her.
"Of course," she sighed, shrugging |
her beautiful shoulders discreetly, "I
feel sorry for poor little Dorothy. Moth
er won't need her after the autumn,
and I'm sure I don't know what's going
to become of her then. Besides, she
hasn't any practical sense. Just look at !
her now lying asleep in all that sun.
She'll be simply black with freckles 1"
That afternoon when everybody was >
resting for a dinner dance in the even- |
lng the Karl of Stowbridge wandered
into the library, a cool, dim apartment
banked with books and made comfort- .
able with couches.
lie had Just discovered one of his
favorite authors and settled down to
read when the sound of feminine '
voices in the adjoining room disturbed j
his attention. Six seconds had not
elapsed when he became aware that
it was 110 ordinary Interview and that
he should make a step forward to an
nounce his presence. It was not In his
character or traditions to be an eaves
dropper; nevertheless ho found him- ,
self curiously unable to move or utter j
a sound.
"Angling for him—l?" It was Dor- ;
otliy's voice, low and Impassioned, but
with a quick little gasp or two, such '
as would come from one who had sud- ;
denly received an unexpected douche i
of cold water.
"There can be no doubt of that,"
came Mrs. Shannon's Icy tones. "Only j
yesterday Joan was telling mo of her
own misgivings"— |
"Misgivings!" There was still that
tremulous catch in the breath.
"Oh, of course young men will be
young men," continued Mrs. Shannon, '•
with a pur in her well bred tones. I
"They will pursue the girl who holds
out the angling iron. You are clever—
I don't dispute the face; you are clever
and calculating—but one thing I have
to tell you: If you wish to remain in
this household you must assume a dlf- 1
fereut pose. And, remember, not an
other conversation alone with the Earl
of Stowbridge while he is under this
roof. You may go now."
There was silence just for an ap
preciable fraction of a second; then
little Dorothy seemed to be drawing
herself up to her full height as she
flung a defiant, passionate answer Into
her aunt's face:
"I thought at least you were a lady,
but you're not. You're eowanHy and
cruel and vulgar. Oh, how can you be
so?" Dorothy, sobbing miserably in
her hot anger and Insulted girlhood,
was obliged to leave the room. Mrs.
Shannon, cool and collected, as always,
touched a bell and sent the cook some
orders about the uuhuL
| After dinner, while they were danc
ing. the earl sought Dorothy out in the
star sprinkled night, where slie had
wandered to a hammock under the
trees, far from the chattering groups
on the veranda.
"I've been wondering who was be
hind that lighted cigar," she said light
ly as ho joined her, and then, more
seriously, drawing In her breath deep
ly: "Isn't it splendid out here tonight?
I like to catch that strong brine from
the sen. It gives one courage."
"I< that what you want—courage?"
asked the earl, looking at her tenderly
in the starlight and feeling his big,
honest heart a-throb. lie sat down on
a stump of a tree close by. "You're
plucky enough, I fancy."
"I shall need it all, all the courage I
have. 1" Slie faltered, and under
the sweet, sudden spell of sympathy
her lips trembled plteously. The earl
leaned forward impulsively and gently
Imprisoned one of lier hands,
j "I know,"was all that he said. She
measured him, not understanding.
"You see," lie started to explain in
his straightforward fashion, "I was in
the next room this afternoon when your
aunt" —
She drew away from him with terror
in her eyes. "Oh," she cried bitter
ly, "you overheard all that cruelty,
and—and it's made you pity me!"
"It's made me love you, little one,"
he corrected solemnly. "I liked you
from the first moment I saw you, but
now I know that I love you. Of course,"
he added, seeing that she still shrunk
from him a little, "a thing like that's
easily enough said, but just give me a
little hope, and I'll make it my life's
112 business to pfbve It to you, dear." He
held out his hand to her like a knight
of old.
Dorothy tried to speak, but her lips
would not respond. Then she did a
curious thing. She took his outstretched
hand In her own and pressed It close
against her eyes, and they were wet.
Virtue Which ('oiiininmln Love.
Should some women need encourage
ment they may learn with interest
| that men are rather apt to be vain and
that it Is enough sometimes to be a
good listener in order to bo a most
successful hostess. The following
typical anecdote proves this. Gomber
ville, the old courtier, somewhat of a
poet, too, was known to be paying a
deal of attention to a certain lady of
the hotel do Uambouillet. One day
some one had this conversation with
him:
"You are the 'cavalier servant' of
Madam V"
"Yes, certainly."
"Do you love lier?"
"Willi the most devoted respect iu
my heart."
"Why? Slie is not beautiful."
"No."
"She is not young."
"No."
"She Is not graceful."
"Not very."
"Slie is not witty."
"No, not particularly."
"Well, then, what is it?"
"She can listen admirably."—Profes

James Quinn, a noted actor of Gar

often fuddled In consequence when lie
went on the stage. Once while playing
with Teg Wotlington, who was acting
Sylvia, his daughter, in"The Recruit
ing Officer," instead of asking her,
"Sylvia, how old wero you when your
mother died?" he said "married."
Sylvia laughed, and being out of her
cue, could only stammer, "What, sir?"
"Pshaw," cried the more confused
Quinn, "I mean, how old were you
when your mother was born?"

CATCHING A LOON.
The Way n Hunter Got One nnd Why
He Let It Cio.
Once, and only once, I caught a
young northern diver, says Graham
West In Recreation. It was In July
in the Laurentians In a little lake far
back In the forest covered hi lis—loons
always nest on small Islands In lakes,
never where foxes can get at the eggs
or young. The birds at first are coal
black. The one I took was the size of
a pigeon and It took me twenty min
utes to get It. When pursued the lit
tle fellows make for the open deep wa
ter, never skulk among the weeds, and
rely entirely upon their wonderful div
ing powers. You can only cnteh them
when they are very young and on a
perfectly calm day when you can seo
them the Instant they come up.
I followed the bird so quickly that I
was always near when It rose and by
shouting and brandishing the paddlo
frightened it Into diving before It had
regained Its wind. At length it could
not dive more than a foot or two be
low the surface and then I caught it
In my hand. It was savage and sea
sick In the canoe. The mother kept
near It from first to last, swam round
the canoe, calling most plaintively tlio
while, the note being "Whe-ou-ou,"
quite distinct from the usual mocking
laugh, "Ila-ha-lia-ha! Ha-ha-ha-lia!" I
paddled the little loon about a mile
and then put It overboard very gently,
and the mother led It off in triumph

"See here, Ted, I want to speak to
you," said Misu Oswald.
"Wonderful!" exclaimed Steen In
mock surprise. "At last she really
wishes to speak with me."
"It's about Nell," explained Miss Os
wald.
"Bessie," he cried In mock horror,
"when one woman wishes' to speak
about another it is a man's full duty
to shut his ears. I refuse to listen to
scandal."
"It's of your own making," she said,
with a trace of sharpness In her voice.
"Mine!" he cried. "Bless your heart,
I never had a scandal I could call my
own, not even a half interest in the
tamest and most uninteresting bit of
gossip."
"It's perfectly shameful the way
you've acted toward that poor child,"
scolded Miss Oswald.
"Bessie," he asked, "has It ever oc
curred to you that as long as she had
no complaint"— He paused to feel for
the words.
"That it's no one else's business:
I'll say It for you."
"No," he explained gently, "that was
not just what I was going to say. I
wanted to suggest that perhaps since
Nellie did not complain it was Just
possible that she understood and that
the others did not."
"Do you think." demanded Bessie,
"that Nell has satisfactorily explained
to herself the reason why, after being
her shadow for weeks, you should sud
denly drop her?"
"I think," he answered slowly, "that
she has explained the matter far more
satisfactorily to herself than you have
to yourself. I»o you care, dear, be
cause I seemed to have forgotten you
while you were away?"
"You must not call me dear," she
said coldly, "and It Is nothing to me

"Only as an old friend Y"
"Only that, and nothing more," she
said steadily. "I)o you suppose that

in the lirst I should care to admit it
after your shameless conduct?"
"It was shameless eouduet, wasn't
it?" he said qucstloulngly. "I .guess
Frank Troop thinks so from the way
he is seeking console her."
"The only redeeming feature of the
whole performance is that Frank had
the manliness to forgive her and avert
some of the talk by paying her atten
tion again."
"I think he likes the Job," Insinuated
Teddy. "Nice to be a rescuer when
you are doing just what you want to
do."
"DOOM that alter the fact that you
virtually froze Mr. Huddington out?"
she demanded. "Mr. lUuldington is a
millionaire, and Frank has just enough
to get along 011."
"That's where the trouble comes, is
It?' lie looked relieved. "Just be
cause I saved licr from Buddy you
think that I should marry Nell because
I am richer than Frank and can give
her half a million where 1 ctit her out
of the six figures."
"You put it very baldly," she ob
jected.
"Naked truth usually is bald," ho ex
plained, "but it is the truth all tho
same. I never thought you would re
gard the mercenary side of it."
"Only because the others do," she ex- (
plained. "Do you suppose that it in
pleasant tar me to hear an old friend
criticised as you have been?"
"Do you suppose it is altogether •
pleasant for the old friend to have his |
old friend cut up as you have?" he
demanded. "Don't you realize that I
love you too well to care a hang about
marrying Nell?"
"You—love me!" she cried in dls
gust.
"I love you," he repeated steadily.
"If you lovcc\ me you wpuld havo
faith In me."
"Faith against facts?"
"Against appearances. Won't you
believe me when I tell you that it is
nil right and that both Nell and Frank
understand?"
"Can you look me In the eye and fisk
me to believe that?" she asked scorn
fully.
"With pleasure— both ej*es." He
came toward her nui took the fair
| head between his hands.
112 "Sweetheart," ht» said tenderly, "by
the love I liol:l fjr you and upon my
1 honor as a man,l tell you that it is all
J right. Do you biliovo, O ye of little
faith?"
Bessie studied the elearjjrown_eyea
intently for a moment, then with a
cry she burled her head upon his
shoulder.
"I do believe," she eried passionate
ly, "but, oh, Ted, why didn't you tell
me this beforeV"
"Because you applied gag law every
time I tried to speak," he explained
whimsically. "Every time I opened
my mouth you objected, and I had to
quit."
"But It was all so strange," she de
fended.
"It was funny," he corrected. "Do
you remember that Mrs. Bradley's ono
idea is to get Nell married off to a
rich man?"
"That's why she coaxed Buddington
here," agreed Bessie.
"Well, she was going to put Frank
out in the cold and give Bud all the
rnnDltur. Bofnre Buddinirton got a
chance to break in I was on the Inside
track, and I was rich enough to satis
fy the old lady, who was not willing
to risk a rupture for the sake of taking
a gamble on the whole million."
"You were simply a fender against
Buddington?"
"I was a thorn in his flesh," he
laughed as the memory of those times
came back to him. "I virtually drove
him out of town and then dropped
back and gave the place to Frank
again."
"Ted," she pleaded, "can 3*ou ever
forgive me?"
"Yes," he said promptly, "the very
first chance you do anything you need
forgiveness for."
A London From Henry Clny.
A well known southern politician
who died Just before the civil war not
Infrequently spoke of an Incident that
took place in his first term in congress.
In which he received a lesson in state
craft from the great Whig leader,
Ilenry Clay.
"I was a young man and an enthusi
astic Whig," he said, "and I entered
congress quivering with eagerness to
serve my party and to distinguish my
self. I was on my feet shouting, 'Mr.
Speaker!' a dozen times a day. I op
posed even petty motions made by the
opposite party and bitterly denounced
every bill, however trivial, for which
it voted. Before the session was
half over I had contrived to make my
self personally obnoxious to every
Democrat that I met.
"One day after an ill tempered out
break oxl a question of no moment I
turned and saw Mr. Clay watching me
with a twinkle in his ej'e.
" 'C.,' he said, 'you go lishlng some
times?'
" 'Yes.'
" 'Don't you find that the best rod is
the one that gives a little at each Joint?
It does not snap and break at every
touch, but bends and shows its
strength only when a heavy weight Is
put 011 It.'
"I caught his meaning. I had seen
him chatting familiarly with the very
men whom T was berating. Yet I
knew when great interests clashed he
was the one man whom they feared.
"I set myself then to learn patience
and coolness. It Is the strong, flexible
rod which does not break under the
big fish."
The Flrnt Cnrronnden.
The earliest mention of the use of
carronades in actual warfare which I
have met with is contained in the Edin
burgh Advertiser for April 13, 1779,
where accounts are given of an action
fought March 17, 1770, In St. George's
channel, near the Tuskar rock, between
the British privateer Sharp and the
American privateer Skyrocket. The
former was nriued with carronades,
"shoßt guns of a new construction,
made at Carron." One of these ac
counts is from Captain Mac Arthur, an
Englishman, who was at the time a
prisoner on board the Skyrocket and
was in a position to speak of the dam
age sustained l>y that ship.
On April 11>, In the same year, a
spirited action was fought in the chan
nel between the Spit tire, a British pri
vateer armed with sixteen eighteeu
pounder carronades, commanded by
Captain Thomas Bell and owned by
John Zulller and others, and the Sur
veillante, a French frigate of thirty
two guns and a large crew. The Spit
fire was taken after an obstinate fight,
the Survelllante sustaining considera
ble damage.—Notes and Queries.
The Guinea Worm.
The famous guinea worm Is an In
habitant of the tropical regions of
Asia and Africa, existing in ponds,
rivers and swamps. It penetrates the
skin of any portion of the human body
without being felt and when once it
finds lodgment grows to an enormous
length. The body of the creature sel
dom exceeds In diameter that of a
large pin, and it Inhabits the flesh just
beneath the skin. When full grown it
is not less than twelve feet In length
and in order to accommodate itself
must wind several times around the
legs or body. Should the guinea worm
find a home under the human cuticle
and grow to a large size there Is dan
ger of mortification setting in when
the parasite bursts, as It is sure to do
! sooner or later. In order to guard
against an accident of this character
great care Is exercised 111 extracting
the unwelcome intruder. The skin Is
opened near one end of the creature
and the body pulled out and wrapped
around a small round stick. This stick
Is turned very slowly for days, or even
weeks', until tho entire worm has been
extracted.

For a Younur Nnn With Money.
If I were a young man with a certain
urnount of capital and desirous to in
crease it at the expense of fools, I
should become a dealer in pictures and
fn works of art. The prices paid at
auctions for such articles by a few
dealers bidding against each other are
abused, although a vast number of
very wealthy fools who purchase tlum
from dealers are ready to pay stl!!
higher: The mere fact that some
article has been sold In an auction
room at a high price attracts flier.'.,
and they buy it from the dealer at a
higher one in order to be able to point
to it In their houses and to tell their
friends how much It cost them. The
dealer consequently makes much
money by acting as u middleman.
Whether there is any arrangement to
run up the price among dealers I do
not know, but I have always won
dered whether this is the case and
whether the original owner always
gets the Kcll:ug price at the auction.—

THE ESKIMO CANOE.
It In u Carious Little Craft That la
Cranky. Yet Safe.
It Is In Greenland that the hunting
ability of the Eskimo reaches Its high
est development. He has a line me
chanical skill. Hones, Ivory, stones, a
little driftwood, skins and the sinew
of the reindeer are the materials from
which he must make his boat and
weapons. There is nothing else. Says
a Greenland traveler: "Of these the
Eskimo builds a canoe, its frame of
bones and driftwood. Its covering of
translucent sealskin sewed together
with sinew. This kayak is decked over,
except for a hole In the middle framed
with a wooden ring. The Eskimo
wriggles into this hole, his legs extend*
ed Into the fore part of the boat.
"Round his waist there Is a cylinder
of sealskin, the lower edge of which
draws over the wooden ring and Is
I pulled tight with a thong, making all
water tight to the armpits. For heavy
weather the cylinder is part of a skin
shirt with a hood. Strings tighten this
hood to the face and cuffs to the
wrists, while a pair of long sleeved
mitts protect the hands and arms.
"So rigged a good man can turn hi J
canoe bottom upward and right him
self again with sliding strokes of his
paddle, for ho Is as waterproof as a
tluck. Moreover, his vessel Is so flexi
ble that it Is almost safe from being
crushed In the Ice drift and, being lim
ber, Is extremely swift when propelled
by the dotiLle ended paddle.
"On the other hand, the vessel Is so
cranky that only about two-thirds of
the native men have nerve and bal
ance enough to hunt. Only tlirea or
four Danes In all Greenland have
dared use a kayak."
THE PHENIX.
Legend of How It Lived and Died
und Lived Again.
The ancient tradition concerning the
phenix has introduced into nearly ev
ery language the liablt of applying that
name to whatever is singular or un
common among Its kind. According to
ancient writers, the pheulx was a bird
of great beauty about the size of an
eagle. A shining and most beautiful
crest adorned its head, its plumage
I contained nearly every tint of the ralu-
I bjw, and its eyes sparkled like dia
monds. Only one of these birds could
I live at a time, but Its existence covered
a period of TOO or (KM) years. When its
life drew to a close the bird built for
I itself a funeral pile of wood and aro
matic spices, with its wings fanned the
I pile Into a flame and therein consumed
itself. From its ashes a worm was
! produced, out of which another phenix
j was formed, having all the vigor of
youth. The first care of the new phenix
was to solemnize its parent's obsequies.
For that purpose it made a ball of
myrrh, frankincense and other fra
grant things. At Ileliopolis, a city in
lower Egypt, there was a magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun. To this
' temple the phenix would carry the fra
grant ball and burn it on the altar of
the sun as a sacrifice. The priests then
examined the register and found that
exactly 500 years or exactly 000 years
had elapsed since that same ceremony
had taken place.
Modern Card Playing.
The gambling of today Is a mild af
fair compared with the extant records
of English society. We shall never
again see the days when General Scott
won a fortune of £200,000 at whist,
chiefly by diut of keeping sober. And
high play, it must never be forgotten,
is a relative term. When I-ord Stavor
dale gained £II,OOO by a single coup at
hazard, his only comment was that if
he had been playing "deep" he might
have won millions. When the dimen
sions of modern wealth are taken into
account the wildest excesses ever wit
nessed at the card table would have a
timid and parsimonious aspect to the
bucks of the regency.—Times of India,

PRICKLY HEAT, HIVES, BOILS.
Many persons are much annoyed by eruptions of I
the skin, ofteu attended by the most painful sensa- I
tion of itching and burning, and sometimes becom- I
big unsight I y and obstinate sores. Corpulent people '
are especially subject to theso
Maddening Inflictions. t
An efficient medicine which will purify the blood
can effect a cue and prevent a recurrence of these
annoyances. Such a medicine, and the only perfect *■
one within reach of medical science, is Dr. Ken- t
nedy's Favorite Remedy. Scrofula, Cancer and all 6
other skin diseases arise from an impure state of g
the blood.

taken when these symptoms first appear, will pre- 112
vent serious consequences. It strikes at the cause „
of these complicated troubles by gently opening the
nowels, toning the stomach, stimulating the kidneys
aud liver to do their important part in the work, and 2
ending in setting up a healthy action of the system.
In fact, it may, with perfect confidence, be
Aocepted as a Cure 1 1
for all derangements, springing from a disordered n
or impure condition of the blood. Fever and ague,

"About January Ist, 1902, I took
down with weakness and dropsy,
and gradually grew worse. I was toltl
by my family physician that my case
was hopeless. My neighbors and fam
ily had given me up to die. My
limbs and body were swollen to one
third larger than normal size, and
water had collected around my heart.
For at least three months I had to sit
propped up in bed to keep from smoth
ering. I sent for five bottles of Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure, and by the time I
had taken them all I was entirely
cured. I feel better than I have for
i twenty years, and I am able to do
any kind of work on my farm. My
attending physician told mo that If It
liadn t been for Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
1 would now be in my grave." _
