What Is this Disease that Is Coming
lpOn Us?

III upoh us uli"" Oil OS'
tents have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime lin
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the lie
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attend
ed with a greenish-colored ex-
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, sort of whirl-
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de-
posting a sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently a
splitting up of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a swedish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation of the
neart; the vision becomes i'm
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
Of these symptoms are in turn
present. 1t is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu-
.ation has this disease in some
Of its varied forms.
1t has been found that ply
sicians have mistaken the cause
f this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, ETC.,
ETC., but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. 1t
IS also found that Shaker Elk

monkey TO decorate his caudal ornament

We have had occasion before iO thank
the Republicans who canvassed so ally
for the Democratic party, and we now
venture to assert that there will be a
warm wave of gratitude sweeping over
the State when the tail gets Il sufficiently
strong prehensile grasp on the Republican
party rs to paralyze the power OF the Ma
hone head even for period long enough
TO make the boss think of cutting of the
latter end of his political policy that will
not wag at his command.
The truth Of the matter is that the
Democrats have succeeded in tying u lin
pan to the tail it the form Of a vain hope
thrown out by qaasi Democratic papers
that Mahone's minions could get back
into the Democratic party.
