A VOICE FROM TIE PULPIT.
What the Minister Himself Says
Regarding His Wonderful Case.
Read Every Word Of His Remarkable Stale
ment. 1t is Gospel Truth.
Rev. John PettirgiIi, Pastor Free
will Baptist Church, RockIand,
Maine, Says

For years was troubled with most alarm
ing and painful symptoms of dyspepsia, in
! digestion, heartburn, headache, and sleep
lessness. During these many years of i'll
ness / consulted the best of authorities on
| the diseases of the digestive organs, spec
| lalsts of great ren0wn pronOunclng my
| case hopeless, some asserting that my
stomach was infested with cancers. l have
| tried countless numbers of so called med
| icines that were recommended to me or
otherwise brought to my notice. Like
a drowning man catching at straw
| I would buy bottles after bottles
of Sarsaparila and other medicines / saw
| advertised in the papers, giving them all
thorough trial. All of these, although
highly spoken of by persons whose integ-
rity could not doubt, proved worse than
useless in my case, and | kept growing
steadily worse. | became at last convinced
that the numerous physicians / had con-
suited were right, and that my disease was
indeed incurable. Giving up all hopes,
the only course left for me was to reduce
the pain to a minimum. This was OBJ
tanned by eating as little as would keep
body and soul together, and abstaining
from all substances containing fats, sugar
| and starch. Some months since kind
friend gave me a bottle of Red Seal Sar-
saparilla. At first would not take it as
had lost faith in everything, believing
that God alone could bring relief. Beir G
told, however, that this Sarsaparila was
prepared in peculiar manner of its own
whereby certain injurious principles con-
tanned in most all such preparations were
effectually eliminated, | at last, but still
without much hope, gave it a trial. l
fervently thank God that in his goodness
he has allowed me to find this precious
medicine. Finding relief with the first
bottle obtained more, and kept taking it
until today l am completely cured and as
well man as ever drew the breath of life.
am convinced of the superiority of the
Red Seal Sarsaparilla over all others 1 have
tried, and consider it my solemn duty to
tell what have told in the foregoing, so
that others like myself suffering from dys-
pepsia or kindred diseases of the digestive
organs may be cured by this wonderful
medicine.
This statement is made of my own free
will and without any solicitation from the
company owning and manufacturing this
Sarsaparilla. REV. JOHN PETTINGILL.

sTaEyE THE RUNNERS.

one OF the most fragrant OF all posi-
BILE abuses Is the way in which candidates
for nomination in our primary elections
i'm this city are bicd by election bummers
and heelers. 1t Is an abuse which often
deters our best citizens from offering
for places which they would otherwise
be entirely willing 20 fiji. 1t is even said
that an election canvass has been chosen
as the time for holding festivals ana
fairs because candidates will then shell
out freely This is all wrong, and 1t
should be discontinued
We have already suggested that all
candidates for office in the approaching
primary should meet together and resolve
that they would not give dollar TO the
bummers But this seems impractical
because 1t is said that some will make
the agreement and then break II, get
ting thereby an unfair advantage OF their
rivals. IL seems to us, however. that 1t
IS now within the power Of TIE City COM
mittee to correct the evil. The act put
ting our primary elections under inc
sanction Of the law has now been passed
This provides that the primary shall De
held under rules and regulations To De
prescribed by the committee The COM
mittee might make IL one OF It's rules
that 10 candidate and no candidate
friends shall Constitute any money in
aid Of his election, except that as the COM
mittee itself specifies. and, il any candi-
date is found violating this rule ii should
refuse to allow his name TO be placed
upon the ballots that are voted In the
primary election. it seems TO us that
rule Of this sort would be a most salu-
tary enc and would cut the evil up at
its root. As it exists now it is "A most
unquestonable and serious evil that oper-
ates disastrorsly on candidates and the
public as well.
