Bow the Strains of Public Life
Are Overcome.
WASHINGTON, April s.-The absorbing ex-
element of congress and the interest
caused by varying schemes and various
measures have been overshadowed of late
in Washington by the revelation of the
alarming death rate among public men, and
the additional fact that in nearly every case
the cause of the death can be traced to one
source. Congressman Springer's dangerous
and long continued illness, the sudden death
of Senator Plumb, and Mr.. Blaine's constant
1ll-health have mustered from the grave the
memory CT an army OF public men who have
died in the harness.
Senator Beck dropped insensible in the Po
tomac depot on the exact spot where Presi-
dent Garfield was shot.
Secretary Folger worked to the last, and
died without warning. "a

the nour of his death.
Senator Simon Cameron feels the mvsteri-
GUS creeplngs of paralysis, and falls in the
arms of his friends.
Salmon P. Chase passed away peacefully
while seated at his desk with his pen in his
hand.
1t has dawned upon the public men of the
country, the heads of departments in Wash
ington, and discerning people generally that
the must be some one great reason for all
OF those untlmely deaths. 1t was with
view, if possible. of solving this question that
/ called upon number of prominent men,
the results OF which are given herewith 1t
is well known that one of the nations great
est men is Gen. b. F. Tracy, Secre tary of the
Navy. and that no man in Washington has
worked harder, more perSiStentIy or more eff
fectively. His timely and efficient work in
building up our national defense when the
uuestio of war with Chill was being agi-
iated, must necessarily have brought a great
strain upon his system. He was found. how
ever at the head of the Navy Department.and
in very good humor. Referring to the sub
ject Gen. Tracy said;
II am in good health and spirits at present.
Several years ago. however. I was SO fully
impressed with the idea that had uric acid
in my blood that l took good care and good
medicine to prevent its increase or contlnu-
ance."
May I ask, General what course you
adopted?''
Il had heard of many things, but I deter
mined to try one especially. | found il all
that 1 desired, and. although that was some
time since, l am, as you see, we'll today.
although am still taking the same medicine,
which is Warmers Safe Cure"
Col. Daniel Grosvenor, the Chief of tie
First Division of the omptroller's Office of
the United States Treasury. said:
Il have had an unusual opportunity to
watch the condition of public men and the
strains which public life brings. Many prom
inent men break down suddenly, and, while
this may also be true of other walks in life it
seems especially true OF Washington. My
experience has shown that one remedy has
proven more beneficial for the strains of life
in the case of public men than any other
known discovery. That remedy is Warmers
Safe Cure. The most remarkable instance of
its power is that MIR. j. Henderson Wilkin-
son. the well-knoWn pension attorney. lis
restoration TO health through its use was
simply marvellous myself believe in it i'm
plicitly."
Congressman J. c. Belden, of New York,
when approached upon the subject, said:
Ex-Governor Alvord, of Syracuse. N Y.s
and also eXspeaker of the house. furnished
the most wonderful instance Of the fact that
public man could Withstand tina strains of
public life and yet live to a green old age.
Few men have ever been sicker than Senator
Alvord was, but he is now hale and hearty.
His recovery is due entirely to Warmers Safe
Cure, which Is certainly all the commando.

quired."
Mr.. L. H. Egleston, judiciary Division

said:
Ten years ago I was ill-very i'll with a
disease pronounced by my attendant physi-
clan to be incipient Bright's disease. The
treatment failed to benefit me, ana Igrew
steadily and alarmingly worse. Under the
advice of friends l began to use Warmers
Safe cure, and have been in perfect health
ever since. am glad to state this because it
may save the life of Others
Senator, b. K. Bruce cordially answered in
quiries:

experienced through the use of his medicine.

The same sentiment can be found all over
Washington, and there is scarcely desk i'll

bottle OF this remedy cannot be found. Its
popularity here is due wholly to what it has
