Mr.. j. p. Blaize, real estate
dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, narrowly
escaped one of the severest attacks OF
pneumonia while in the northwestern
part of that state during recent bliz-
zard, says the Saturday ReUietU. Mr..
BlaiZe had occasion to drive several
miles during the storm and was SO
thoroughly chilled that he was unable
to get warm, and inside of an hour az
ter his return he was threatened with
a severe case of pneumonia or lung
fever. Mr.. Blaize sent to the nearest
drugstore and got bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, of which he had
often heard, and took a number of
large doses. He says the effect was
wonderful and in short time he was
breathing quite easily. He kept on
taking the medicine and the next day
was able to come to Des Moines. Mr..
Blaize regards his cure as simply won
derful. For sale by Evans Bros.

they are very proud of the record

other fellows that while they may be
drawing the salary, he will be having

has increased so enormously since the
election that he has been obliged to
employ stenographer and type
writer. Otis HodgsOn, good Repub-

of next March he will know moreIand
tell less) of the true inwardness of
Kansas Democracy than any other
man who ever lived.
