Inherited Diseases.

No fact Of nature IL more pregnant
With awful meaning than the fact Of the
inheritance Of disease.
Modern science, which has illuminated
90 many dark corners OF nature, has shed
Q new light on the ominous words of the
Scriptures, "The sins OF the fathers,
shall be visited upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation"
Fifty per cent. of cases Of consumption,
cancer and scrofula, run in families
through Inheritance. Insanity Is hered-
itary in o marked degree, but, fortu-
nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear Itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A distin-
guished scientist truly says: mo organ

the chance Of being the subject Of
hereditary disease.n Probably moro
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify tho structure and functions OF
the body, are more or less liable to be in.

practical deductions from such facts

A BAD CASE OF FLUx CURED.

A BAD CASE OF FLUX CURED
My little boy about eight months old
was taken with fux. After severa
days, we commenced giving Chamber
tain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy according to directions. We
were very uneasy about the child, and
sent for q physician. told him what
we had been doing, and showed him
the medicine. He examined it, and told
us the best thing we could do, was to
60 ahead and give the remedy. We
used about half of small bottle, and
cured the child, although the child was
so low, that he had no use of himself.
We thought so much of your Remedy
that we would let no one else have it.
l told my wife a few days ago that
must write, and tell you what your
medicine had done. G. w. Lugar,

For LOYAL PrOhibs.

1t has long been known that the pro-
hibition party was greatly in sympathy
with the Democrats, but it was supposed
their community of interest lay largely
in desire to whip the republican party,
in fact drive it out of existence. Pro-
hibition was merely battle cry. and
used by sore headed republicans who
did not like to train openly with other
factions opposed to that party. But
this campaign is likely to put different
face on the matter The democratic
sentiment is becoming unmasked and a
downright ex-rebel has been placed on
the prohibition ticket for vice president.
That candidate, DIR. John A. Brooks,
in making speech at prohibition
meeting in Chicago, Friday night, said:
II was with the Confederate army
for while, but it was simply because
it got so hot that could not stay any
where else but in prison. Then, /
would not deceive you tonight by
telling you that my sympathies and
heart were not with the South. for they
were. was on the opposite side ex-
actly from my distinguished General.
While he was fighting in the Union
army was praying he might get licked
by the rebels.
Do loyal citizens who have joined the
prohibition party to further the cause
of temperance like to march under
such a man as thisP Are they willing
to support a man for vice president
who when our armies were fighting for
the right was praying they might got
licked? Look well to what you do
gentlemen. Do not throw a vote
whore even a respectable regret dare
not follow.

The WEB is tightening around the
20" dynamite plotters and it is hoped
that road will push every one in any
way connected with the fiendish plot to
the bitter end. 1t is time the rough
element, that tries to take SO large part
in all labor disagreements, should be
brought to sense that only peaceful
means to an end are allowable in this
country. The day of revolution,
sword, pistol and dynamite has gone
by, and what cannot be accomplished
peacefully does not carry enough weight
or popularity to be worth violence.
When corporation cannot manage its
own affairs without being brought to q
rosnd turn by mob. the boosted
freedom of our country is in danger of
taking flight.

The high standing OF the paper locally

to continue the HERALD as newspaper
