at New York City, OF apoplexy. In

is call to duty and as a good citizen

suddenly been changed to sighs, for,

apostle of the rights of man, died az
he wished to die--in harness fighting
for the cause-toward the close of the
greatest municipal political contest the
world has ever seen.
The end was peaceful and he died
without pain. This man of mighty

Whitestone at s o'clock and made
speeches at College Point and Flush

speak at the Central Opera House.
Mrs. George went with him. All the
halls in which he spoke were filled and
at College Point and Flushing crowds
we're turned away. At Whitestone he
drove from the railroad station to the
meeting hall at gallop. To the
cheering crowds he said: II believe

When person begins to grow thin there is
something wrong. The waste is greater than
the supply and it is only a question of time
when the end must come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble is with
the digestive organs. Ifyou can restore them
to a healthy condition you will stop the waste,
put on new flesh and cause them to feel better
in every way. The food they cat will be di-
gested and appropriated to the needs of the
system, and a normal appetite will appear.
Consumption frequently follows a wasting
of bodily tissue because nearly all consump-
tives have indigestion. The Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial will restore the stomach to a
healthy condition in a vast majority of cases.
Get one OF their books from your druggist
and learn about this new and valuable rem
edy.
When the children need Castor Oil, give
them LAXOL; it is palatable.
