Among the many recipes that have
been given for overcoming wakefulness
IS one devised by a Mr. Gardner, and
formerly celebrated in England, but now
almost forgotten. 1t is to lie on the

declaration, however, is not strictly true
Jackson was nominated and elected by
the Democrats in 1928, after he had been
defeated in the q~uadrangular fight Of
1924, when there was no election, the
house afterwards choosing John Quincy

Henry Clay for President in 1874, after
he, like jackson, had been defeated In
