AtOwosso, Mich, Mr.. Bryan spoke to
n largo audience from a stand ~ few
blocks from the station. He had re-
ceived copy of paper published
there, in which certain questions wore
asked. He replied to this as follows {:

Mr.. Bryan: "Will you let me know

Mr.. Bryan: "lf he will not make

A voice " He has gone away"

Mr.. Bryan paused, but there was NO

asked me questions; you ought to be

The last day of William j. Bryan's
campaign in Ohio was begun by the
candidate with very little physical pre-
paration for the speech-making Or
deal. He did not get to bed on board
the " Idler," his special car until after
| o'clock this morning. That was at
GAINESVILLE, where the people waited
more than three hours beyond the time
set for Mr.. Bryan's appearance, and
heard three speeches by him after
midnight. The Zanesville demonstra-
tion was the most. remarkable in some
particulars OF any which Mr.. Bryan
has been the central figure. The ex-

full of enthusiasm and good humor.
Last night the conditions differed in
that Mr.. Bryan reached GAINESVILLE an
hour sOoner than he arrived at A bcr-
deem, but when it Is considered that
one Of the audiences in the Ohio town
stood in pouring rain to hear him
speak and did not permit the wetting
it received to dampen its partisan
ardor, the GAINESVILLE affair may be
considered the more remark able after
all.
Many of the excursionists who went
to Zanesville to hear the Democratic
candidate had decided to leave by late
trains and were obliged to return to
their homes before Mr.. Bryan's much
belated train came to sJandstill at
tho GAINESVILLE station. Others waiting
for their trains to go, surrounded the

fearful OF being left in GAINESVILLE over.

It certainly is disheartening to a pa-
 tent to find that the treatment he is given for disease is more disastrous
 than the disease itself. Such is the case, however, with the usual treat ment given for diseases of the blood Notwithstanding the grea. progress made ill many branches of medicine, the doctors have failed absolutely to ind successful treatment for blood poison, and the many diseases having their origin in the blood. They give but one kind Of medicine. they know
 but one treatment, and whether in
 the form of powder, pill or liquid, the doctors prescription is always the
 same-potash oc mercury.
 Too much cannot be said of the harm ful and disastrous effects of these drugs
 The doctors are unable to rid the sys- tenn Of the poison, and direct their efforts toward covering up the symp- toms from view. There is but one ef- feet to be obtained from potash and olercury-they bottle up the poison aud dry it up in the system, but l. must be remembered that they dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time, gradually consuming the vital iiy.

No sooner has the system taken on the full effects of this powerful drug than that supp!eness and elasticity of the joints gives way to stiffness, followed by the racking pains of rheumatism.
