Some party that would send him through the

Aud let him do its patriotic speaking.
He found at last, party that was glad
TO pay his way and send him on a mission
To WOO city, recognized as bad
Because 1t always helped the opposition.
He spoke but once; he then returned and told
The chairman Of the managing committee
He thought that after that lie would unfold
His eagles wings within some other city.
The anxious chairman strongly disapproved
The plan the speaker had in contemplation.
"Were not" the chairman asked, "the people

So moved they were they rose as one and SHE'D

Mlsery.--It is instructive to note from the

fatal cases reach their chronic stage through
stupid indifference to a correct treatment
when the system is first assailed II is easily
shown that thousands Of lives could besayed.
NERVOUS PAINS.
T0rture.-For instance: ScIATIcA, which so
sorely afflicts the human family, and which
is defined to be neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve, rheumatism of the hip-joint, or parts
adjoining it, hip govt, pains i'll the loins and
hips, even in its mildest form never seizes
its prey without due warning.
SYMPTOMS.
Acute.-Sudden and acute pains in the hip
and loins redness, swelling, tenderness,
soreness, fever, lameness and sometimes ex-
cruciating pains. The disease rapidly deyel-
ops into chronic or infiammatory stage
TREATMENT.
cure.-Rub the parts affected thoroughly and
vigorously with ST. JACOBS OH; create a
burning sensation by the friction of rubbing
on the Oil; apply warmth; tannels wrung
out in hot water.
