Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Co, n. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak raised blood. Nobody
thought | could live. My work (ship-
smithing was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was SO
difficult to get it in this little place, and
had improved so much, | stopped taking it
for a time, and the result is that | have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishlers Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and l must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and | will make affidavit to it, for l
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters"
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhoa, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price 81 on
per large bottle. 6 bottles for $500.

RIGHT AND JUSTICE


The democratic party was never more
united or harmonious than it is today.
Whatever has divided it temporarily in
the past it has forgotten in face of what
for some time has been-what for some
time will be, the overshadowing question
of whether the republican party, sentenced
to Punishment from power by the people,
will be able to defeat in part the popular
verdict.
Plain speaking on this subject. as on
nearly all subjects, is best, and the dem.
ocratic press throughout the country is
speaking plainly. 1t demands reform in
every branch of the public service and
holds that reform is only possible through
the agency of democrats. There is il
this view nothing of the leaven of the
Pharisees which is hypocrisy. 1t is com
mon sense, common business principle:
applied to public affairs. The business
man who distru5ted bis bookkeeper woul(
not get the person he distrusted to expose
the faults of the system. While republi
cans, whose interests are so radically op
posed to reform. hold the important Of
fees Of the country, it will be hard Il
convince the people that any real reform
can be accomplished
What has come to DE known as "th
spoils question" is q very small part o
the issue. Not one in ten thousand o
those who stand united for reform in tn
civil service have any expectation of of
fee. But they do expect the will Of tn
majority to be obeyed within constitu
tutional and lawful limits.
The handful of New York republican
who bolted their party on account of pei
sonal dislike to their party candidate ar
not majority and they will not be al
lowed 20 defeat the will of the majority
If the democratic party owes them any
thing-which we do not believe it does
let them ask and receive their reward
But it does not owe them nor will it &C
cord with its allegiance.
The democratic party has been 70
years the party of civil service reform.
will not be foiIed now by those who al
rogate to themselves the title of reform
ers that they may defeat the ends of re
form.
1t asks nothing but what is right an
just. 1t will be content with nothing les
than right and Justice.
