leader of the Tammany hail party, is be
lieyed to have tecome permanently broken
down in health He has not been about for
nearly week. He is "a years of age, and
has been in active politics the better half OF
his life, and the sort Of politics he has en-
gagged in does not induce or permit either

TIE WRIST KEEN TWINGE.

As the season advances, the pains and
aches by which rheumatism makes itself
known, are experienced after every ex>
pOsure. 1t is not claimed that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is a specific for rheumatism
we doubt if there is, or can be, such ii
remedy. But the thousands benefited by
Hoods SarsapariIla, warrant us in urging
others who suffer from rheumatism to
take it before the first keen twinge.
