When your system gets out of tune and you
feel completely played out, it is pretty certain
that you need a medicine to act on both the
Kidneys and liver for these important organs
work together in freeing the system OF its
waste, and keeping up the tone. Then take
Kidney Wort, for this is just what it does, for
it is both diuretic and carthartic.

No blood was shsA In Ill shis strife;
Bat many . brave wss belly MANNED
Amid those scenes Of social lib.
And since the smoke has cleared away,
Let's take circumspective view,
And ascertain, II We may,
The cause Of al this great edo.
A big election Wa the thing
For officers, both great and small.
Must Be elected by . ring
so thought . few, but not near all
Then to the front, At rapid rate,
The heroes came with facss sad,
And swore that they must nominate
To ave the parish from the Rads.
They ignored the elaine of candidates,
without regard to station,
And said that they must nominate,
Or fail in legislation.
The people, not At all alarmed,
Said nay; we'll risk our future fate
An open field can do no harm,
In what we call hurdle race.
RAIDS were scarce and Greenies few,
So Democrats were not afraid;
But would be rulers very we'll knew
Their schemes in secret must be laid.
In two great efforts having failed,
A midnight caucus was their plan; -
One Representative was assailed
And stuck on ticket with their man.
A dozen for Sheriff in the field,
Were overwhelmed with CONSERVATION,
Finding that they had to yield
To . tricky, double combination.
The heroes now had organized
A dwarfy, bastard nomination,
And would have gladly ostracised
All those of different inclination.
The party lash was tried 10 vain,
Many bnlldozed and others cheated;
Failed to accomplish all their aim,
For half this ticket was defeated.
