DiAstR0US USE or 3TA0NH PuaslTlyES

Most pills, purgatlves and Bitter
Waters, which act quickly upon the
bowels, irritate and often destroy the
mucous coats of the stomach and bowels.
lnde d their cathartic action is directly
caused by the irritation of the bowels,
which they produce. Their action should
he 500 hing and stimulating instead OF
irritating. A continued use Of such rene.
dies produces chroric Inflammation OF the
s.omach aud bowels. This often ends In
dangerous disease. The use OF the Renu-
Ire imported Carlsbad sprudel Salt is
highly recommen led as an sperient,
laxAtive aud diuretic, because its action
is due solely to Its solvent and stimu-
latlng properties. II soothes and allays
Inflammation, and is therefore much
preferable to all strong purgatives aud

mentinR on bis speech says:
"Governor b. 7. Bigvs of Delaware

ware troops up Broadway on Centennial
Day. II the governor had been content
with the utterance OF lew patriotic SEN
timents and had then made way for more
able speakers he would have filled his
part to perfection, but he failed to 'tum'
ble.'
SIN place OF short talk he under
took an grafton and 1t resulted in his be-
coming the clown Of the occasion. He
made an inconsiderate attack upon the
now Republican senator from bis State and
thinking he was migrating himself with
the substratum OF Tammsny he declared
in favor Of wiping out the Civil Service
law, root and brapch.
"As an advocate OF Democratic home

nouncing that in the ideal State of Della
ware all the appointments to office were
made by the governor, from chief Justice
of the State down TO constable Of the
borough.
"rhe grotesque character OF the Cover.
nor's speech was enhanced by his de-
fence OF the whipping post, which he
claimed TO be the great regenerator Of his
superior srealm, and of the pOll-tax,
which kept the poor people from voting,
and thus prevented the state from becon,-
