Observing the effects on your Political

to be published in the Dallas HERALD for
the benefit of the afflicted, | am fully
satisfied that my diagnosis in his case
was correct. He had it bad. Moth
ing but an emetic properly ad-
ministered, could cure it. Noting his
foul vomitings, covering three-quarters
of page of the Gazette's issue ofthe 18th
instant, entitled "All Wisdom Is Not

coVery. But you should be very
particular, and guard against a relapse.
Better put him in his "little bed" and
keep him very quiet for while.

scription in the Gazette. You Sh0uld

transferred in large amounts, with
special privileges to individuals or cor
poratiOns.
The effect of this dose is different on
different persons. For instance, when
taken by a man who believes in the equal
rights and sovereignty of the people and
the maintenance of a true Republican
government, it has soothing effect:
but when administered to men who have
grown rich byrobbing the people Of their
equal rights in these sovereign proper
ties, or who contemplate robbing them,
through the reasonable practice of our
legislation, State and National, of sell
ing, giving and transferring them in UNI
equal shares to individuals and corpora
tions, it invariably throws them into
fits of spewing and vomiting great
streams Of denunciation and ridicule
against the orthodox practitioners who
administer it, exactly similar to the Of
fects produced on your "free-grass'

thcless, warranted to Kill or cure in all
