THE GREAT REMEDY
FOA ALL
DISEASES OF the BLADDER
AND KIDNEYS.

This Remedy has stood the gfesf Of time, has
been weighed in the scales Of public opinion,
and to-day has an army Of men, women and
children, who over their own signatures bear
testimony to its curative properties. 6oms
have been cured of Diabetes. some OF Brights
Disease, some OF IpAammetaouo Of tfs B1aooeS
some of Catarrh OK the Bladder, some OF Incon-
thence of the Urine, some Of Leucorrhoeas o.
Whites, some of pains in the Back and LoinA
some of diseases of the Prostate Gland.
For all Diseases arising
from a diseased state of the
Bladder and Kidneys, THE
Remedy stands without q
Rival.
Without q rival in the number of cures
effected; without a rival in the purity OF Its
composition; without q rival in number e8
bottles sold. The annual sale Of Smiths Ex-
tract of May Flower exceeds the sales OF all
other Kidney Remedies combined.
DR.. ELI IVES, says: "That In many sggrar
waited cases, when Buchu had failed to produce
any benefit, May Flower has effected a speedy
oare.r
DIR. J.. a.. BIRD, says: AT have found Nay
Flower to be o remedy for all Kidney COM
ylaints, far superior to. Buchu or Juniper
DIR. H. r. MARTIN, says: May Flower acts
more promptly in all diseases of The Bladder
and Kidneys than any remedy which has come
under my notice."
DIR. BENZ. H. LONG. says: 81 have found
May Flower exceeding beneficial in my'treat-
ment of females"
DIR. VINO. D. HUYVETTER, says: without
doubt May Flower is destined to work a revo-
luton in the treatment of diseases peculiar TO
the urinary organs"
DIR. KING, in compiling his dispensatofy'
has paid a merited tribute to this remedy. Be-

Anumeer of authorities might be quoted, but
there are none more eminent than the names

DJSGORGE THE SECRET

At last accounts the secret of Beck was still
in him. He alone knows who the Republican IL
who in his judgment is competent to cope with
Joe Mcdonald in q Presidential contest; the
mention of whose name would make several
Southern States doubtful; the Republican
who would have such asure thing y that he
dare not name him. Having come here all the
way from Kentucky to drop this apple of dis
cord into the current of political discussion, he
has gone away and left it tossing back and
forth with nobody actually to catch and settle
it. BE still contains the secret within his own
circumference. What agonies of curiosity he
has left us in we need not undertake to de-
scribe. They are eVerybody's possession, and
so within everybodys knowledge. How, how,
shall these intense longiDgs, this dreadful
warming after some solution of the mystery, be
satisfied Knowing something of the travail OF
the public soul on this momentons matter, and
desiring to mitigate at least, If not assuage en-
tirely, the popular anxiety, TIE TRIBUNE
has. In n perhaps hesitating, but certainly
cordial and well-meaning way, profered two
euesses at the man. The first guess was nat
urally enough Private Dalzell. Distinguished
gentlemen very near to the Kentucky Gdipus
tell us that at the suggestion he simply shook
his head. Then we guessed Keifer. And we
learn that the author of the riddle, at this
vcnture-honest. though 1t may be ignorant
lifted his Scotch Kentuckian nose and intimated
that we were treating his great mystery with
unbecOniing evity.
We do now accordingly protest that the solu-
ton Of this mystery, the discovery OF this great
secret, utterly and absolutely evades u.s. We
cannot grasp it. Nor, so far as we can learn
from careful examination OF the issues OF the
press Of the country, can anybody else. The
whole country-may not say, indeed, the
whole world ?-pines to know the name of the
invincible Republican; but the close mouthed
Scotch-Kentuckian Sphinx says never word.
Il there no relief Henry Watterson This
il your Senator. He came to New York in your
company. You must know to whom he refers I;
the Republican whom he is afraid to name.
You never kept anything from the public yet.
Your mouth is wide, your tongue is loose No
body ever died of unslaked curiosity in your
presence so long as you contained an lnpub-
lished secret. Please, please go for him, Henry.
Get It out of him. And then tell us all about
il in n double-leaded paragraph of n couple of
columns in The Couricr-JourndL Beck exas-
perates us. He locks his lips and thirds the
sombre boskage of the wood Pursue him,
Henry Pump him! Then tell us all about it,
and let us have the Presidential question set
tied. Don't let curious world die of the pain
Of this unsatisiied longing. Give us the name
of the Republican who can beat Joe "McDon-
aid, and let us consider him nominated.

It is unnecessary to waste adjectives on III
achievement so brilliant as this. The simple
narrative is sufficient. There has been some
talk about General Crook violating treaty OBJ
legations by pursuing the enemy SO Tar into
Mexican territory. but he seems to have kept
entirely within treaty stipuations by returning
Immediately after his encounter. Even II ne
had been less careful We doubt if the Mexican
Government would complain He has rid the
country of gang of murderers and maraudefs
whom tho Mexicans were pGwerless to suppress
and he has restored to their friends six Mex
lean captives who were found in the Indian
camp. The Generals service is full as great to
Mexico as it is to the United States. The
Mexicans cannot be so foolish rs to object TO
tho service merely because they have no share
In the glory. But before another emergency
arises we trust there may be an understanding
with the Mexican Government on the whole
subject, that may insure harmonious co oper-
atinn.
