The Great Patronage Dispenser. When he was appointed director oi the national Taft bureau in Washing ton and placed at the head of the caui paign for the reii"Mlnati<>n of Mr T. this year, he expressed the opinion t' some of his friends that it would be .1 very much easier job than he had li r in 1908, for the reason that all In would have to do now would be t> "pass the word along." Mr. McKaiie. meant, of course, that it was only nee essary to convey the information au tUoritatively to the thousands of fed eral officeholders throughout the coun try and especially in the southern states that the president desired to I" renominated and that it was the wish of the great patronage dispenser ii:at all the federal officeholders should co operate in forcing the election of 'lVft delegates to the Chicago convention.

Such a statement, coming from the cashier of a bank, shows what confidence responsible people have in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson after trying them wrote: "I have used Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills and also your Anti-Pain Tills, on myself, with good results. The I.ivt;r Pills act so naturally and so easily that I scarcely know that I have taken a pill. I'requently being troubled with headache I take an Anti-Pain Pill and net immediate relief in every case." A. L. Wilson, Sparta, 111. Mr. Wllsen was for a number ! of years cashier of the Plrst National Bank of Sparta. Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills are different from others. Many kinds of liver piHs are "impossible" after one trial on account of their harshness. Dr. Miles' Neive and Liver Pills do not act bysheer force but in'an easy, natural way, with out griping or undue irritation. They are not habit forming.
