Jonah i., 1C It was hard on Jonah, but justifi able, under the circumstances. And the example of Jonah's shipmates contains a lesson for modern naviga tors in similar straits. The Democratic party, for Instance, is navigating a stormy sea. The ship is stanch and well found, and the crew is loyal, but tho elements seem adverse. Nobody knows what may happen next. There are rocks and, breakers ahead, and navigation in a howling gale is precarious. There is a Jonah on board the Democratic ship, and there is reason to believe that if he were thrown overboard the sea would "cease her raging." He is called Small Ameri canism. If there were no possibility of Identifying the Democracy with the policy of opposition .to national growth the outlook forDemocratic success next year would be exceed ingly bright.

It comes on so slowly yet surely mat it is often firmly seated before we are aware of it. The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct singes is, First, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to urinate often with a burning sensation, the flow of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, tip's reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down between the navel and the water passage, increasing de sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in pasiing, small quantities being passed with difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected. The Third stare is Blight's Disease. There is comfort in knowing that Dr, Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous for its marvelous cures of-the most distressing ca;js,aud known as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Koot. It is sold by all druggists. As a proof of the wonderful virtues of this great discovery, Swamp-Root, a sample bottle and book of valuable information will be sent absolutely free by mail on application to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
