A WORD TO THE WISE.
Worth Untold Gold to You, Perhaps.


Now is the season of pains and aches OF rheu
matism and neuralgia as Spring approaches
Yet it is absurd and unnecessary to suffer
Speaking on this subject, the well-known MI
James Brown OF 81 Market ST., New York city,
said: 81 had neuralgia and rheumatism ter
ribly in my back and side. So badly did SUI
fer that I was unable to attend to my business
for three years before came across the right
remedy to cure me. The remedy is Dr.
Greene's Neryura, and I haze been perfectly
and completely cured by this wonderful medl-
cine"
81 had pain in my right side for four
MONTHS said Mrs. j. T. Cummings of 1903
Lorain ST., Cleveland, Ohio, 'and was nervous,
and could not sleep nights. got no relief until
took DR.. Greene's NervTa. The pain has
left me entirely, and now I sleep much better"

Gov. Flower was brought forward at
the Denver banquet as a Presidential
candidate who would reconcile the
warning wings of the Democracy. As
Flower since he has been governor Of
New York has been completely under the
thumb of Hill and done his bidding with
out question the chances are that he
would reconcile the Cleveland men no
better than Hill himself.

81 suffered for many years with terrible
neuralgia in my head and neck" said Alonzo
Pachin, Esq, of Boiceville, New York, "and
oh, dear, how it panied me all through. took
Dr. Greene's Nervura, and it cured me COM
pIetely of the fearful pain. I think DR..
Greene's Nervura is the very best medicine
ever saw or used"
Everyone who has used it speaks the same
regarding it, 1t is purely vegetable and harm
less, and can be obtained of your druggist for
81.

THE PRESS.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10.

The PRESS processes to believe that the pro-
hbitory law rigidly enforced, largely decreases
drinking and drunkenness. And yet the PRESS
has never rebuked the authorities in Bangor for
not enforcing the prohibitory law.
The PRESS has called attention over
and over again to the failure of the Ban
gor officers to do their duty and con-
demned them for it.

Mr. Grain of Texas has introduced an
amendment to the constitution, chang
ing the dates of the Inauguration of Pres
dents and the meeting of Congress, and
it has been referred to the committee on
the election of President, viee-president
and representatives. Mr.. Grain proposes
that the 31st of December shall be the
beginning and end OF the terms of repre-
sentatives and senators; that Congress
shall meet on the first Monday in Janu-
airy, and that the term of the President
shall date from April 30 instead of
March 4. 1t is proposed to submit to
the states this amendment in two articles.
The first extends the term Of the Presi
dent to the 30th of April next succeeding
the 4th of March when his term would
otherwise have expired, and providing
for the Inauguration of his successor on
April 30, also. The second article ends
the existence of Congress ON the list day
of December after the adoption of the
amendment, and makes the terms of rep
resentatives elected in November begin
December 81. Senators whose terms
expire on the 4th of March succeeding
the adoption of the amendment are to
remain in Office until their successors are
elected. The advantages claimed for
this change are that it will bring Con-
gress together within two months of its
election, instead of Is months after as
now. This would enable the will of the
people expressed in an election to be
given immediate effect. The advantage
of a later date for the Inauguration of
the President is that it would occur in a
less Indictment season; and then, too,
April 30 is the anniversary of Washing
toms Inauguration. 1t is said that the
committee of the House are likely to re-
port this amendment favorably.
