A Successful Physician.

In large and lucrative practice
running through a number of
years, my husbnd, by using Swift's
Specific, restored health to a great
ss.nany people in whose cases all 9TH
fr remedies had proven useless.
TO give list would be to write
the history of stubborn maladies
and remarkable and wonderful
cures. l Will mention the case of
a young man afflicted with blood
poison for five years. He was
helpless for a year-was blind for
f2me days, and his case seemed
r-pcurable - for under the usual
,aent he had grown worse,
his condition was to say the
least horrible; rheumatism came
on to add to his suferings. DIR.
Love prescribed Swift's Specific,
and by its use the poison was grad
ually forced out of his system, the
sight restored, the rheumatism
cured, and today he is a sound and
healthy man. My husband regar-
ded Swift's Specific as the best
known medicine for diseases which
it professed to cure.

An Extra Session of congress.

There is not much, if any, doubt that the
President, under the advice Of the republi-
can leaders, has determined TO call congress
together about SIX weeks before the time
for the regular meeting of that body. When
one OF the republican senators told the Pres
ident the other day that he was about start
ing for Europe, the President impressed
upon him the necessity for returning by
tho middle of October.
The republicans do not expect to discuss
bills during the extra session. Their pur-
pose Is to devote the whole of the session to
organizing the House, changing the House
rules and deciding contested election cases.
They expect that the four territories, which
are now preparing constitutions prepara-
tory to admission as states, will have held
their elections by the middle of October.
and that the republican majority in the
House will be considerably increased by
congressman from the new states
The republicans have very slender ma
jority in the House, and there is a prospect
that the congressman from the newly
admitted states will not increase it much.
There is strong probability that one or
HUI VI Juo congressman from those states
viii be democrats.
Six weeks will not be too long time to
settle the contested election cases and
change the rules. In fact, it is by no me ms
certain that the rules can be changed at all
to the satisfaction of the republicans. The
democrats are not going to agree to any
change in them and they may be able to
prevent any. The republicans thought the
rules were admirable when they were
in the minority, and the democrats
will insist that the fact that the republi-
cans are now in the majority is no reason
why they should be changed. The republi-
cans in demanding that they shall be
changed to'suit their purposes demand alto
gether too much
The rules are favorable to the minority.
The republicans have several schemes
which they cannot very well carry into of
feet unless the rules are changed That is
why they wa t them changed. 1t wouId
not be surprising if it should require more
than six weeks TO change them. If they
should be changed there is not much doubt
that dozen or more southern democrats
would be unseated. The republicans will
hesitate at nothing to get good working
majority.
