 Don't think because you are sick and nothing seems to give you relief that you can't be cured.
 There must be 8 cure for you some where.
 If your doctor can't cure you, perhaps he has mistaken the cause. Anybody IS liable to make mistake sometimes.
 One in three of us suffer from indiges- ton, and one out of the three dyspep- ties doesn't know it. That is, he may know he is sick, but hs planes 1t to something else.
 Indigestion is the cause of half of our dangerous diseases.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial, made from tonic medicinal roots and herbs, is the most natural cure for indigestion. It relieves the symptoms and cures the disease gently, naturally, efficiently giving fresh life, strength and health to sick dyspeptics.

st. Louis, July 25.-At 1 O'Clock this
morning the corridors of the Lindell
hotel are filed with excited delegates
and interested spectators. The conven-
ton had just adjourned amid scenes OF
darkness and confusion, the former on
account of the failure of the electric
lights and the latter on account of the
universal opinion that Bryan would not
accept the nomination for president af-
ter the defeat of his running mate be-
fore the completion of the roll call on
the first ballot.
"Who is the man to lead us now?"
was the cry. Texas snouters were anx-
ious 10 head the ticket with the tail they
had just selected, and then cast around
for another tail. Georgia and a PARTON
Of Texas, Wisconsin and Illinois were
shouting for Eugene V. Debs for presi-

convention should declare for Bryan,

refusal to accept the nomination of the

are styling themselves. The sentiment

stormy session Of nearly two hours the
conference OF Populsts ard Silver men
adjourned without an agreement. The

conventions 10 see If a mutual agree

for the Silver men and W. w. Erwin of

the free silver Democrats and Republi-
cans should be effected at once for the
purpose Of achieving a victory for the

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshheld, NO.,
writes: "For six years l have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington. ID. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
Inoval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment g friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be
gan its use. Before / had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had / only used your SIS. long ago,
/ would have escaped years Of misery
and saved over <I5o."
This experience IS like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts TO the knife prove either
fru;tless or fatal. SIS. IS the only
real blood remedy; It gets at the root of
the disease and forces It out perna-
reutiy.
