No time like the present. If you have cold get bottle of potaska at once and cure it. Public speakers en- dorse 1t.
 "When will I hear the village belle?" She caught cold and could not get po- taska, so she died. Now you will hear the village (church) bell.
 He got his feet wet and caught bad cold. He was advised to try potaska. He did and was cured. He now says he owes his life to potaska.

Heartily Republican il Politics!

The Tribune this year is cheaper than ever and 1t promises to be better than ever. Unlike some of it's would-be rivals, it has not reduced character with price. It does not seek increased circu- lation by pandering to the tastes of the vicious or the prurient. A trusted, clean, wholesome family paper, it has long enjoyed the largest circulation among the best people-the industrious, frugal and moral, whom every community recognizes as its best citizens-and it means to keep and increase this circu1a- tion by continuing to deserve it.
 The Tribune is the leading New York daily-complete in news, strong and sound in comment, pure in tone, large and legible in print-spending money lavishly for news and as lavishly for brains to handle it. It gives, with ab- solute fairness and all possible accuracy, the news uf the whole world, best worth the attention of intelligent men and women; and is recognized as the au- thority on political. business, bank, rail road and financial, literary, educational, scientific, social and religious intelligence.
 The Tribune is heartily republican and believes that the restoration of the democratic party to power, after 24 years exile, would be as disastrous as a revolution. Every important material interest in the country dreads such a change in 1884. The Tribune conf- dently believes it can be prevented and to that end asks your aid
 The Tribune is always on the side of morality, good order, reform and prog ress. It warmly sympathizes with every practical effort to restrict the traffic in intoxicating liquors It always favors the cause of honest labor and in the interest of the American workingman supports protective tariff. It has no interest, for or against corporations, to hinder its taking the just and fair course, best for all the people and the
 whole country. It is the organ of no person or faction, is under no control
 save that of its editor, and knows no obligation save that to the pubic. The Weekly Tribune-for third of a
 century the favorite of our substantial rural population. Larger and wider circulation than any other weekly issued from the office of daily in the United
 States. A complete weekly newspaper
 of 16 and sometimes 20 or 24 pages agricultural matter believed by farmers to be the best published full markets
 and many features of interest in the
 home circle. This year two series o.
 special interest-one for young men, the other for farmers. Indispensable fol , the presidential canvass.
