several weeks the scales balane d evenly.
But one day the brilliant Republican
candidate came up ailing. lie seemed
overcome and spoke laboredly. The
next day he was even less effective.
Later he was compelled to ask his OPP
ponent for n pOstponement OF certain APP
pointments, which was granted. Before
the campaign ended he had abandoned
the field altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candi-
date continued the canvass, seeming
to grow stronger, cheerler and
more elective with each sue

For the benefit of suffering humanity, deem
II only my duty TO give this unsolicited testi-
mony In favor of Swlft's Specific. My wife
has been afflicted with Eczema from Infancy.
We tried every known remedy, but to- no
avail She was also afflicted with u periodical
nervous headache, sometimes followed by an
intermittent fever, so that her life became u
burden to her. Finally, l determined to try
Swifts Specific. She commenced seven weeks
ago. After taking the first large bottle the
disease seemed to Increase; the burning, itch
Ing and Inflammation became unbearnble.
She, however persevcred In the use Of the
medicine. After taking the second bottle the
Inflammation began TO subside, After the
third bottle the Inflammation disappeared and
sore spots dried up and turned white and
scaly, and finally she brushed them oil In an
impalpabe white powder resembling pure salt.
She is now taking the sixth bottle; every APP
pearance of the disease Is gone, and her iiesh
i soft and white as childs. Her headaches
have disappeared, and she enjoys the only
good health she has known in ~ years. No
wonder she deems every bottle OF s. $. :. Is
worth II thousand times Its weight In gold.

REV. GEORGE BACHELOR, Of Chicago,
recently preached a sermon on the sub
jeot Of how to prevent cholera, in which
he said: "lf 1t does come, II will attack
the lifted, the Incorporate, the dis
obedient, the people weakened by dissl-
patton or fear. Other things being equal
1t will leave the strong, the obedlent
and the healthy. The first Injunction
is, be not afraid A cheerful man is
protected against epldemlcs by the
mere fact that he does not permit him
self to fear an attack of the prevailing
disease. | need not tell you to obey
all the sanitary laws. Not only TO make
your houses and homes clean, but also
make them cheerful. Cheerfulness is u
health giver. The man who strives for
pleasure Is not happy, while exhaustlng
pleasures are more deleterlous than
wearying toll. Next to an obedience to
the ordinances of the Board OF Health,
would Recommend the closing of all
business houses on Saturday afternoons,
the spending Of Saturdays in such u
way that there will be no Sunday morn
ing headaches, and the spending of
Sundays so that there will be no Monday
lasstude. Inordinate pleasure Kills more
people than cholera or any other cpl
demic. Another health-glver is a good
conscience. The conscience, burdened
with evil, anticipated or accomplished,
is dlsorganlzlng element to happiness
and to health.r
