He Sent Eighty Miles for It.

Milo Page, Of San Bernarnino, Cal,
on Sept. Z, writes as follows:
In 1858 was taken with bilious col
ic, being then seventeen years old.
Yearly attacks followed, and at
length they became more frequent.
In 1872, while residing in Oakland,
suffered severely from this disease,
and was informed by DIR. Pinkerton
that it was chronic and incurable.
While Frustrated by a severe attack
a friend induced me to take a large
dose of Walkers Vinegar Bitters,
Old Style. probably four wine glasses
full. In less than half an nour was
free from pain. l followed this up
with three wine-glasses a day-oEe,
half au hour before each meal-until
used up the bottle.
For over seven years was perfect
IL free from bilious collie, but in the
fall of 20 was engaged in mining in
Nevada, and the coarse food l ate
brought on a sharp attack. / was
far from any drug store, but / dis
patched q courier eighty miles for q
bottle of Vinegar Bitters.
When he returned was unable to
speak, but put the bottle to my lips.
took two swallows, and in twenty
minutes the pain left me. / finished
the bottle as before, taking three
doses daily, and for nine years after
ward / was perfectly free from the
dreaded disease.
A month ago it returned, but try
ing the old remedy, Vinegar Bitters,
l was cured, as before.
/ write this because you do not es-
pecially recommend Vinegar Bitters
for bilious collie. Only those who
have suffered the agonies of this dis
ease, can understand what q boon q
sure cure is, and in Old Style Vinegar
Bitters yon have the best, and per.
haps the only real remedy known.
In reply to Mr.. Page we will soy
that Vinegar Bitters cures hundreds
of diseases; we have not the space to
catalogue them, and perhaps il we
published them those unacquainted
by experience with our valuable rem.
edy might doubt it's efficacy still, as
SO many worthless preparations are
thrust on the market and pulled in
50 many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, that
those who have been accustomed to
take Vinegar Bitters for any length
OF time, are hale and hearty. whether
they are young or old. Those who
doubt and fail to take it are likely te
fall into all manner of ailments, great
and small. Vinegar Bitters, both OLD
and New Styles, keep those who take
them fresh, fair, healthy and young
looking, and when we once
gain o customer, we keep them al
ways, like Mr.. Page, who sent eighty
miles for Vinegar Bitters, and it wa.
almost u ride for life.
The New Style Vinegar Bitters is q
beautiful, clear, dark reddish color
and extremely pleasant to the taste

Iowa farmers who sowed the wind
In November are making a terrible
uproar over the crop of whirlwind
ready for the harvesting machine in
July. With the full knowledge that
Mr.. Blaine had declared trusts arc
private affairs, and equal knowledge
that the republican campaign was
run upon the fiat fried out Of pro.
tected manufactures" they voted the
Blaine ticket. Now when the bind.
er Irvine trust advances the price of
its manufacture from thirty-three to
fifty per cent, equal to the tribute OF
about two and one-half per cent OF
the oat crop, these farmers fret and
kick. The binder Irvine trust il only
the farmers its proportion
of the expense incurred in Dudley's
blocks Of five operation in Indiana"

York. The trust expects to reap
where it has sown, and the granger

against SO reasonable . conclusion.

Where il the Bottomf

Previous to 1870 the advocates oil
reform were in the habit of telling us
to hold on and bear our troubles un-
til after we got resumption, we should
then be on hard pan basis and our
ills would disappear as by magic, and
we should hear no more OF hard
times forever; prices would stop de-
Ginning, labor would be in good de-
Mand, business would boom and all
would be happy az a marriage bell.
That day has passed and gone ten
years ago, and still we are going
down, down, and the bottom is not
yet; prices are lower than ever, and
times are harder still. What is the
matteri We have had the boosted
cure-all Of resumption without relief;
we feel the pinch of hard times keen
er than before. Do our financiers
mean to drive the country into the
most extreme poverty and wretched-
ness, to strike down our industries
and paralyze business generally and
fill the land with despair aud crime,
Must the people stand this, can they
stand it, and will they stand it, Are
our lawmakers fools, or are they
knaves! The people are suffer-
ing; they have endured all things,
and while waiting for relief these au-
dacious hypocrites urge them to en-
dure q little longer, to suffer q little
more, and after we are dead and bur-
led an era Of prosperity will dawn
upon us, and all will be made happy.
We cannot secure prosperity and
happiness by pursuing a financial
policy calculated with certainty to
bring adversely and despair. The
people must buckle on their armor,
sharpen their swords and spears, and
prepare to take Of the heads OF these
political quacks that have been rob-
bling the people. while they have
kept them quiet with false doctrines
and broken promises The people
want more money, and they must
have it, or this country will soon be
a land Of millionaires on the one
hand and beggars and tramps on the
other.
This country cannot long peace
fully endure with the wealth concen-
trating at such a rapid rate in the
hands Of the few. This thieving pol
icy must be stopped or we are DOOM
ed to everlasting servitude to money.
