A pleasant delusion ir-adiaies the
bosoms of some Democratic editors.
They imagine that their party, though
out of power, has exerted strong in
flucnce upon the legislation and pro-
-gress Of the country. The ST. Louis
Republican points TO various measures
in proof of the belief This is but poor
cons olaiion for an almost unbroken
series of defeats lasting through nearly
IA quarter of a century, but such as il is
il is not justified by the facts. The Demo
cratic conquests cited show that the
government. and people have progressed
nor-by the help, but in spite of the op-
position of the Democracy. The usual
Democratic blunder Is made in mistak
ing the ilY for the wheel.

PILES are frequently preceded by "a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdOMcn, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs.
At times, symptoms of indigestion are
present as flatucncy, uncasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like per.
spiration, producing a very disagrceable
itching, particularly at night after get
ting warm in bed, is a very common at
tendant. Internal, External and Itch
ing Piles yield at once TO the applica-
ton of DIR. Bosanko's Pile Remedy,
which acts directly upon the parts al
fected, absorbing the iumors, allaying
the intense itching, and efFecting a per
manent cure where all other remedies
have failed. Do not delay until the

A Vegetable Product,

Only used in AYERS AGuR CURE, ma:
proven itself a never failing and rapid
cure for every form of Malarial Dis
order, Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. No injury follows its use, and
its effects are permanent. Il rouses
the system to condition of vigorous
health, cleanses the blood of malariaI
poison, and imparts a feeling of com
fort and security most desirable in
Ague districts. 1t is an excellent tonic
and preventative, as well as cure, of
all complaints peculiar to malariouS,
marshy and miasmatic regions. The
great superiority Of AYERS AGUE CURE
over any other compound is that it
contains no Quinine, Arsenic, or min
eral; consequently it produces no
quinism or injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as If they had
never had the disease.
The direct action OF AYERS AGUE
CURE upon the Liver and Digestive
Organs makes it a superior remedy
for Liver Complaints, producing many
remarkable cures, where other medi.
cineS have failed.
