set in and has spread until it is felt
throughout the entire land; from the
North to the South, from the Atlantic

forth for a purer ballot. 1t is Of the
most vital interest to the welfare, yea,
to the Ii fe Of the commonwealth, that
this demand should be met, a a lei
of changing the course of the ship of
state, and averting inevitable disaster
upon the rocks Of plutocracy. There
can be no doubt that when voting by

tons, the intention was that it should
be secret, and individuals enabled
thereby to exercise their franchise
free and untramelled ; yet the laws
governing voting of almost every state

provisions which are essential to the
attainment Of the true voice of The
people; those which are in effect being

intent Of a vote by ballot. that they
not only make it possible, but to

The unthinking are prone to make game
nervousness. Yet this ia a very real and serf-
Gus aiilictiOn, the harassing symptoms or
which are rendered all the more poignant by
ridicue. The stomach is usually responsible
for these symptOms-its weakness and disor-
der find a reflex in the brain, which is the
headquarters of the nervous system. AS q
nerve tonic and tranquilliZer, we believe that
not one can be pointed out so effective as HOS
letters Stomach Bitters. In renewing vigor-
GUS digestion, it strikes the key note of recov-
cry of strength and Quietude by the nerves.
Headaches, tremOrs in quiet sleep, abnormal
sensitiveness to unexpected noises-all these
