Children Cry for Pitchers, castoria..
Mexico weekly ledger., 1896-11-12

Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West,
s.. c., was for years a sufferer from
this distressing complaint, and has
learned by experience its fortunes.
She says:
For years / was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that I yer
heard of. I was treated by several
doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming to cure the disease, but in
stead of being benefited my condi-
ton grew worse steadily.
THE trouble became SO ~deep-seated
that / was entirely deaf in n ear
1t is difficult to describe my condition,
but some idea of the ravages of the
that all the inside of my nose, inc1ud-
ing part of the bone sIoughed off. 1t
can be readily understood how often
sive all this was, and how unbearab1e
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the physi-
clan gave me up as incurable, and
told me / would never be any better.
Reading of many similar cases be-
ing cured by S. S. S., I determined to
try it as a last resort. / soon discov-
cred that all my former treatment
had been wrong, as the disease was in
the blood, and only a blood remedy
could cure it. I began to improve at
once, and grew better as I continued
to take S. S. S. 1t seemed to get at
the seat of the disease, and after a
few weeks treatment I was entirely
cured, and for more than seven years
have had no sign of the disease"
Catarrh is one of the d~eep-seated
blood diseases, and only a thorough
blood remedy will have any effect
upon it. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that is guaranteed
Mexico weekly ledger., 1896-11-12
Deaf
From Catarrh,

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps,
meets with o encouragement in
seeking a cure than those afflicted
with all other ailments. After ex-
hausting the skill of the best physi-
clans, and inhaling various mixtures,
paying out large sums for doctors
fees and medicines, he finds himself
either as bad off as at first or a great
deal worse.
The III of this is easily explained.
The disease is in the blood, and only a
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it. The doctors being
unable, with their stereotyped rene
dies of potash and mercury, to cure
diseases of the blood, direct their
efforts toward treating the symp-
toms of the disease, and ignoring its
cause The inhaling Of various sprays,
and use of washes, ETC., is but a SUI
perficia1 and temporary treatment,
and cannot possibly effect a cure.

GOLD FOE CURRENCY.
Large Amounts Being Offered at the
Sub-Treasuries.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Nov. SIN
formation received at the Treasury
Department shows that large amounts
of gold are being offered at the several
sub Treasures in exchange for cur
rency, the stipulation being made as
to legal tenders. One million in gold
was offered at Boston and the sub
Treasurer telegraphed the Secretary
for instructions, stating that the cur
rent work of the office was somewhat
behind owing to the late furry, and
further that payment of that amount
Of currency would leave the SUBJ
Treasury there inconveniently short,
Instructions we're returned authoriz-
ing the acceptance of half the amount
offered. AT New York the sub-Treas-
urer, it is understood, has given no.
tice that he would receive gold to-day
in exchange for currency. There are
about SO, AGO. 900 in assay Office checks
outstanding, which are now being de-
posted for currency and all of these
will be received. The demand for
currency and especially small bills in
anticipation of a revival of business is
exceptionally heavy and it is expected
that several days will elapse before
the officials will be in a position to
meet all demands. The Treasury Off
cials anticipate no further Withdrawals
of gold for export and regard the
financial situation as greatly improved.

GOLD DEMOCRATS HEARD FROM.
Chairman Bynum Issues a Statement
as to the Party's Future Course.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Chairman w. ID.
Bynum of the national committee>of
the gold standard Democracy made
the following statement: at is too
early for the sound money Democrats
to decide upon a course of action for
the future. We shall have to await
developments. While the policy of the
government, so far as the standard is
involved, has been settled, the details
of a sound financial system yet remain
to be accomplished. The present de-
fenseless condition of the treasury
must be remedied before we car hope
for lasting prosperity, and this will be
a difficult task, as some radical chang
es will be necessary. A reunion of
the forces of the Democratic party can
only be had on the platform of the In
dianapolis convention. The Chicago
platform was a radical departure from
the cherished principles of the party
and those who continue to adhere to
it will find themselves swallowed up
by the Populists.
81 am sure our efforts have materi-
ally contributed to the result. No one
will question but that orr speakers
were a potent factor on the stump.
The splendid campaign of Gems. Palm
er and Buckner and the speeches of
Secretary Carlisle, Governor Flower,
Colonel Irish, Colonel Fellows, Mr.
Humphrey and others had great in
fuence with Republicans as well as
Democrats.
81 shall call the executive committee
together at an early date, but not i'm
mediately, as 1 have been closely con-
fined to the work for five months and
shalrtake a little recreation first. The
position of chairman of the national
committee was new to me, but the
support / received from other men,
bers and prominent Democrats
throughout the country was of great
assistance and relieved me of much of
the responsibility and labor attached
to the position. While all connected
with our organization are entitled to
great credit, the important service of
Mr.. Dickinson and Mr.. Hewett merit

SHOULD BE UNITED.
The New York News" Gives Advices
& to Democrats on All Financial
Beliefs.

NEW YORK, November 6.-The Neaos
to-day says e~ditorially:
"The duty of the hour 10 for al
Democrats to sink their differences
and unite on those principles that
they hold in common. The election
has been held and the questions on
which the parties divided have been
settled for the time being. There is
no use, therefore, in longer wrangling
over them.
"There is q vast Democratic vote in
the country still. The thing to do is
to reconcile its parts for the common
good. The Republican party needs
watching now as it never did before.
1t will have an overwhelming major
ity in the next House of Representa-
tives again, and probably a working
one in the Senate. 1t will be tempt
cd by its spoil hunters to enter on an
era of reckless extravaganza. Its
President will doubtless try to carry
out the tariff ideas associated with his
name.
democrats have a patriotic duty
to perform under these circumstances.
The more complete the control of the
Government by Republicans, the more
watchful must the party of the people
be and the more solidly united it
should stand for the right.
"Steps looking toward reconcilia-
ton between those Democrats who
supported Bryan, those who sup
ported Palmer, those who voted for
Mckinley outright and those who did
not vote at all last Tuesday should be
taken Immediately.
Democrats need not despair of the
future. They stand for what they be-
heve to be the right, in sunshine and
In rain. They have had their differ
ences, but after the ballots have
spoken they can forget them and
again stand shoulder to shoulder in
defense Of the principles in which
they all believe"
