arm and leg would be similarly affect
ed. Then again it would locate in some
particular part Of my body and produce

me frantic. There would be weeks
ct time that I would be afflicted with
an intermitting kind of pain that would
come on every afternoon and leave me
comparatively free from suffering during
the balance Of the twenty four hours.
Then I would have terrible paroxysms Of
pain coming on at any time during the
day or night when I would be obliged to
lie upon my back for hours and keep as
motionless Is possible. Every time / at
tempted to move achilly sensation would
pass over my body, or / would faint from
hot flashes. Isuffered from Q. spssmodic
contraction Of the muscles and Sore
ness Of the back and bowels, and even
my eyeballs became sore and distressed
me greatly whenever I wiped my face.
I became ill-tempered, peevish, fretful,
irritable and desperately Respondent.
"Of course you consulted the doctors
regarding your difRculty2"
Consulted them ?well I should say I
did. Some told me I had neuralgia;
others that ] had inasmmatory rheuma-

would be afflicted all my life, and that
time alone would mitigate my suffer-

blistered and bled me, plastered and
oiled me, sweat, steamed and every
thing but froze me, but without avail.
But how did you finally recoverpn
81 had friend living in Michigan
who had been afflicted in similar Way
and had been cured. He wrote me re-
garding his recovery and advised me to
try the remedy which cured him. I pro-
cured bottle and commenced its use,
taking q tablespoonful after each meal
and ct bed time. Ihad used it about q
week when noticed decrease Of the
soreness Of the joints aud general feel

and finally got so I could move around
without limping, when I told my friends
that it was Warmers Safe Rheumatic
Cure that had put me on my feet"
"And do yon regard your cure O.
permanent?
Certainly, haven'n been so well
in years as I am now, and although
have been subjected to frequent and Sc
we're changes Of weather this winter, /
have not felt the first intimation of the
return of my rheumatic trouble"
Do you object to the publication Of
this interview, Mr.. Ashley?"
s'Not ct all, sir. I look upon il q q
duty I owe my fellow creatures to allie
viate their sunerings 90 far q I am
able, and any communication regarding
my symptoms and cure that may be
sent to me ct sos Maine avenue will re-

Mr.. Ashley. suppose You see the same
familiar faces about the lobby session
after session."
NO, not so much IS You might think.
New faces are constantly seen and old
ones disappear. The strain upon lob
byists is necessarily very great, and
when You add to this the demoralizing
effect Of late hours and incorporate
habits and the fact that they are often
found ont in their steals, their disap-
pearance can easily be accounted for"
what proportion Of these blood bills
are successful?"
"A very small percentage, sir. Not
withstanding the power and influence
of the lobby, but few Of these vicious
measures pass. Were they successful
it would BIZ q sad commentary upon our
system Of government, and would vir-
tuslly annihilate one branch of it. The
great majority of them are either re-
ported adversely or smothered in COM
mittee by the wretchfulness and loyalty
of our congressman" j. e. ID.
