treatment OF pulmonary disease.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matters

drake Pills act the liver, removing all obstruc-
tOns relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely
and the liver Is soon received.

senting applications to the president for

men visiting the president haye petition

AN INCIDENT OF TIE FIGHT.
How Mrs. Logan Conducted Her Hus
bands senatorial Campaign,
From tie Times, Olnev, Illinois.

From The Times, OlReV, Illinois.
An incident of the recent senatorial
struggle in Springfield will serve to show
the desperation of Logan and his friends
and the ilegitimate influences that were
brought to bear in his favor.
Mrs. Logan. following natural impulse
probably, but none the less illegitimate in
such contest, exerted her brilliant tai
ents and powers OF persuasion, as is well
known, on members of whatever political
faith in her husbands behalf.
Representative Powell with his accom-
plished wife had rooms at the Leland ad
jacent to Logan's and as a matter of course
the ladies became acquainted, and al
though Powell was a Democrat of the
straightest sect Mrs. Logan was unceasing
in her solicitations to him, and to Mrs. P.
to influence him, to vote for John, but
without avail At last, however, Mrs
ments and that night, Powell, who had been
his room about twelve o'clock. Mrs. Lo-
gan had been on the lookout for him, anG
in the charming confidence that had grown
up between the families came to his room
IN dishabiHe and with all the naivete she
could summon to her assistance, said:
Now, Mr.. Powell, you must vote fo
John tomorrow, for | have at last sue
ceeded in turning Mrs Powell
"Well, madam" said the sound olt
Democrat, Il would ike to oblige you
but | will be personally responsible 70
turning her again before morning.
Mrs. Logan returned to her room,a sad
der but not much wiser woman.

A Result of Distracted Digestion.

Among the hurtful consequences of
of obstructed digestion, is the impoverish-
ment of the blood, and since deteriative
condition of the vital fluid not only pro-
duces dangerous organic weakness, but,
according to the best medical authorities,
sometimes causes asphyxia, it is appar
ent that to improve the quality of the
blood by promoting digestion and assimila-
ton, is wise precaution. Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters is presciely me remedy
for this purpose, since it stimulates
the gastric juices, conquers those bilious
and evaCaua'ive irregularities which inter-
fere with the digestive processes, promote
assimilation Of the food by the blood, and
purifes as well as enriches it. The signs
of improvement in health in consequence
of using the Bitters are speedily apparent
in an accession Of vigor gain Ia bodily
substance, and regular and active per.
formance of every physical function.
