WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY
THING ELSE FAILED.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when man Is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness, the mental forebod-
ings are ten times worse than the most
severe pain. There is no let up to the
mental suffering day or night. Sleep is
almost impossible and under such a
strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer
rolled and tossed on the troubled sea OF
sexual weakness until it was a question
whether he had not better take dose
of poison and thus end all his troubles.
But providential inspiration came to mis-
aid in the shape OF a combination OF
medicines that not only completely re-
stored the general health. but enlarged
his weak, emaciated parts 10 natural size
and yigor, and he now declares that any
man who will take the trouble to send
his name and address may have the
method of this wonderful treatment free.

IMPRESSIONS.

The Berkeley Springs News, COM
menting upon a visit OF Mr.. John
Henshaw to that place says, eve do
not know when we have met man
who impressed us as strongly as Mr..
Henshaw. Upon seeing this COM
pliment to a worthy fellow-citizen,
who had the courage to act upon hon.
est convictions, Mr.. Boyer, OF the
Statesman, tears his hair and, sheer
ing at Mr.. Henshaw's candidacy for
the legislature, replies that it doesn't
take much to make an impression on
mud and that John is the only one OF
his kindred who has gotten low
enough to vote the Republican ticket.
In the light of later events a great
number of persons are comparing the
respective attitudes of Mr. Henshaw
and Mr.. Boyer The conclusions
they are reaching are not at all flat
tering to the latter. Long before Mr..
BRYAN was nominated--about the
time the Statesman was telling its
few readers about the direful effects
free silver would have upon our
national honor and industrial pros
perity, Mr.. Henshaw declared him
self opposed to free coinage. Alter
]
the nomination of Mr. Bryan, he re-
fused to act with his party. For his
devotion to principle Mr.. Henshaw
has the respect of his opponents as
we'll as the admiration of his friends.
More than this, he has received at
the hands of the people an office OF
responsibility and honor. What OF
Mr.. Boyer? Notwithstanding he
helped carry the load with which the
Popocratic ass was burdened; notwith-
standing he permitted himself to be-
come the tool of spoilsmen and called
the honest dissenters from his party S
principles "renegades" and trait
ors" he finds himself without the res
pect of the very crowd he was serving
and with the contempt OF every one
who likes to see man be a man and
not traitor to his conscience. 1t is
the most difficult thing in the world
for newspaper to make its readers
believe what its editor does not him
self believe. The attempt to ridicule
Mr.. Henshaw has elevated the esteem
in which he is held by the people
and lowered the influence Of the
Statesman because its readers know
it cannot be trusted to tell the truth.

LET BUSINESS Boom.

Get to work.
The main object of the election was
to convince the world that we are not
nation of Repudiationists.
That is now settled.
The endless chain of prosperity
must begin to move. The good times
will soon be here.
Already the rumble of revolvin g
wheels is heard.
Already the smoke from furnaces
clouds the sky.
Money is coming out OF its hiding
places.
Wheat advanced 4 cents Wednesday.
There is a great demand for Ameri-
can securities all over the world.
The American dollar is still worth
100 cents and by the grace OF God it
shall continue to be so long as the
Republic lives.
The horrible nightmare Of anarchy
and ruin has disappeared.
Confidence, in all her pristine glory,
floats over the land and soothes the
troubled heart.
Mckinley and Hobart are elected.
They will be backed up by Sound
Money Congress.
Crackers have lost their occupation
That terrible monster, the Money
Power, offers lower rates Of interest
because all we'll know that Honor and
Business Integrity still live.
An era of prosperity, such as the
world never saw, has dawned upon us.
Then
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, We heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

The vote for sound money, tremen-
dous as it was, does not measure up
to the full strength of the Nation.
Tens of thousands of Democrats who
do not believe in the free silver fallacy
voted for Bryan for the purpose of
keeping in line with their party. They
are men who when party pressure is
brought to bear lack spinal column.

The only cause for regret is the de-
feat of Mr.. II. c. Getzendanner, for
State Senator. The margin is very
small, only 40 votes. Had it not
been for the treachery of a few per-
sons in Jefferson, the bullheadedness
Of others in Morgan and little sharp
practice in this county, Mr.. Genzen-
danner would have won. We wish
to state now that we have kept tab
on the parties referred to and will see
them later.
