The notion that climate had much
to do with rheumatism and neuralgia,
passed away with the discovery that
they were blood diseases and just as
likely to exist in one cline as another.
Athlophoros meets them on their own
ground, purges the blood of the poi
sons which induce them, and effects
the most wonderful cures north, east,
south ana west, without reference to
climate or weather. Says Mr.. James
Cook, Smithton, Mo-: "Athlophoros
has done wonders for my wife's rheu-
matism, and is helping others. +"

j. X. Ravens, of Prescott, was in
town on Tuesday. He reports the po-
litical outlook in and about Prescott
as being entirely satisfactory to the
Republicans. The German defec-
tion," about which our Democratic
friends boast so loudly is found only
in the fervid imagination of the Bour-
bon candidates and their followers.
The Germans are sound, and the Irish
and Scandinavian vote will be just what
it is-a vote for American institutions
against the world.
