HAVE you NEURALGIA
Som thing About That Ma,ldening Ill That
Flesh Is Heir To.

Though IL may appear strange 70 Us
who think We are familiar with tho
commOner form Of neuralgia, or nerve
pain, such as tCO,hacEc, headache and
the like, it is not easy always 10 say
whether the pan we are suffering be
really neuralgia pure and simple.
In point Of fact, neuralgia is Il name
for "a conCitin rather than dis, ase,
and only implies that III the course II

is not caused by any disease Of the parts

GENTLY distended TO irritate the nerve.
Or there may be poison in the blood.
like malaria arsenic or lead, which, by
lowering the general vitality Of the
body, contributes to a general nerve
weakness and irritability.
In large proportion of cases tho real
',ause of neuralgia is so general as TO be
quite obscure. The exciting cause-or
occasion-of single attack Ct neural
gia is usually getting chilled or over
exercising the part subject to the com
plant.
As many Of us know by experience,
the course Of an attack Of neuralgia is
extremely varied. The pain may be con-
tinuous, remittent or intermittent, tenn
porary or persistent, located at one spot
or ditfused over large area, and may
be shooting, aching or burning in char
acter.
BY way Of treatment we may use 10
cally any cool liniment, blistering, hot
fomentations or electricity. Iron and
quinine are Of the greatest value inter-
nally, especially where the system is
run down or there is malarial faint
in the blood. Antirheumatics must, Of
course, be resorted to in cases of a rheu-
matte origin. In these latter cases there
is nothing like absolute rest and regular
and nourisE:rg diet.
Morphine or other opiates should be
used but sparingly in neuralgia, and
never in Cases Of debility on old age

is felt. There is no sign of soreness Of

are now developing, correspond in
large measure to the moral state of
the party. 1t is already evident that
in the south DELEGATES TO THAT
CONVENTION HAVE BECOME THE SUB.
JECT OF VERY ACTIVE TRAFFICKING
IN THE POLITICAL MARKET, AND THAT
SALES AND RE SALES ARE TAKING
PLACE AT A LIVELY RATE. And as
the men who want substantial favOrs
from the government Can afford to
bid highest, the Mckinley interest is
likely to receive the greatest benefit
from the auction. At the same time
we fed in the great states of the east
the Republican party in a condition
equally distressing and repulsive. In
New York Boss Platt has complete
control Of the Republican organiza.
tion. The recent attempt of the So
called "better element" to organize a
revolt against the boss seems to have
miSeTably miscarried, owing to the
pusillanimity of the leaders Of the
movement, who recoil from anything
that might disturb party harmony"
They either do not understand that
revolt which breaks down from ir-
resolution will not only not weaken
but will actually fOrtify the power of
the boss, because it will strengthen
his prestige of invincibility, or, if they
do understand it, they are guilty of
knowingly fastening his yoke upon
the party. In Pennsylvania the Re
publican organization goes even so far
as to put forward its boss, Mat Quay,
ONE OF THE MOST DIsREPUTABLE
POLITICIANS IN OUR HISTORY, as its
candidate for the presidency. In
both cases the bosses play transpar-
ent game. They will absolutely con-
troll the delegations from their states
the one apparently for Governor
Morton, the other apparently for
himself, both WITH THE EXPECTA-
TION, AND, WE REGRET TO SAY, IN
ALL PROBABILITY WITH THE POWER
OF SELLING THE VOTES OF THEIR
RETAINERs, perhaps sufficient in num-
Der to determine the nomination, TO
THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR THEIR
OWN ADVANTAGE. Who the highest
bidder will be nobody can foretell.
But certain it is that the bargain, if
cOnsummated, will result in disgrace
and ultimate disaster to the Republi-
can party, and, in case that party
wins the election, in disgrace and
disaster to the country.
Never since the close of the civil
war has the Republican party had a
finer opportunity to render great
service to the American people by
taking in hand the problems of the
day honestly and fearlesSly. Never
has it had a better chance to win the
support Of those citizens whose pollt-
ical action is determined rather by
their sense Of public duty than by
party spirit. But never has it ap-
peared in so rerulsive state of moral
degradation and 50 unworthy of that
support. Some time ago it seemed
impossible that the Republican party
should be defeated in the coming
presidential election. IT SEEMS M
POSSIBLE NO LONGER.

one way to cure Deafness and that is by con

an inflamed condition Of the mucous lining OF
