Resident Of Davenport, Iowa.

DR.. CoNNAUGHToN:-Dea Sir: With
feelings of the deepest gratitude for
the benefit my sou has received at
your hands while patient at yonr In
stitute, allow me to enumerate a few
facts for those similarly afflicted:
For two years previous TO being under
your treatment, my son had suffered be-
all description. Various physicians
ofrenown had been employed to no
purpose. 1t was thought that his eye
could not be cured. A kind friend of
Davenport who had been cured by
you recommended you. Now | am
happy to say all my friends in Daven-
port say that my sons eye is quite
well.
/ sincerely commend those afflicted
with chronic diseases to avail them
selves of your skill, and am confident
they will not regret it. l have ex-
pressed myselfin strong terms because
so many have inquired of me for these
facts, and because i'll these days of
false advertising | am glad to be able
as Christian man. conscientIously,
to recommend one thing up to the full
measure of its advertisement.
Very truly yours,

Tomorrow occurs the election for alder
man in the second ward to I'LL the vacancy,
1t is important that every effort be made
to see that the record made last week be
not departed from, and the democratic
candidate be chosen as Mr.. McNeiI's col
lague in the council. The general election
showed that a democrat could be elected
and now that we have the prestage of
past victory there is no reason why the
good example set then, should not be
followed. Mr.. Bennett is good mao and
deserves the position; see that he gets it

If Z party can nominate a man Tor an
Office any day in the year. and, then,
because the other parties do not nominate
opposition candidates preferring to wait
until election day, claim that their man is
elected under an understanding what
would prevent party that is in power
from holding such bogus elections every
day in the year, and electing officers for
three hundred and sixty five years ahead?
It is beautiful plan and worthy of praise
for its scheming desigu: but alas it won't
work.

Protectionists claim that nation should
be entirely independent Of foreign natl ons,
lest in time of war it should fnd itself
helpless or defenceless. They say that
free trade makes a nation dependent on
foreigners, But traffic is exchange. For
eign products do not come into a country
unless dometic products go out If we
have trade with foreign countries. they are
as dependent on us as we on them, aud in
the case of our country more so, as we send
them breadstuffs which they must
have. We only take from them
articles. principly luxurious. which we
could 10 pinch, DO without; consequent
ly the nation with which we would be at
war. would be at the same disadvant-
age that we would, and there are several
nations from which we could chose our
importations. Then it must not be over
looked, that the obstruction of trade be
tween nations is one of the most frequent
causes of war. 1t often gives
rise to misunderstanding which result il
serious conflicts. By removing these
obstacles and making trade asfree as pos
sible nations are brought closer together,
the interests of their people become inter-
mingled, and business associations are
formed between them which go far to
keep down national disputes. and prevent
wars, when it is to the advantage of both ma
tions to keep the peace, very few wars
will occur. China and Japan have for
centuries practiced the protection theory
of independence of foreigners, and yet in a
war with other nations they would be the
most helpless people in the world.

Owing to popular idea that remedy said to

from the gratifying assurance by a great number
of the vitaliEtng and health-renewing proper
ties of his preparation of Hypophosphltes, under

that these effects are secured by its use, that its
action is peculiar to his preparation, and that Con-
