Wednesday, and if not elected by the
latter date will withdraw, whereupon
another caucus will be held by the re-
publicans and another candidate be
selected.
There is strong sentiment in favor of
Dick Stoll. Hunters friends are very
kindly toward Henry Martin. but if a
caucus shall be held there will be a
big field of candidates.
DR.. Hunter refuses to talk in regard
to his intentions.
Chairman Jones was asked about the
caucus, and said: Il have the power
to call a new caucus at any time, but
will not do so until requested by a
majority of the republican members or
by DR.. Hunter"
DIR. Hunter would rather die than
give up the ambition of his life, the
Kentucky senatorship, and he will not
do so until the last hope shall be gone.
For this reason he has kept quiet He
is watching the sentiment He is bit

his indictment for bribery, and feels

Thousands of women are cast-up dead
on the shores of life because of their own
ignorance or neglect No woman can be
free from pain, or safe from the ever-threat-
ening breakers of death, who neglects to
take proper care of the organs that con-
stitute her womanhood. A woman who
neglects her womanly-self will be sickly,

Patchwork!

s~ One of the most encouraging features
Of cure made by S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc)
Is its permanency. OF all diseases, 1t Is
we'll known that those of the blood are
ths-most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually ad-
mitted that a real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
Of course, their admission is not made
in SO many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years Of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercurial mixtures, al
though taken faithfully. only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
but when he is sooner or later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, ETC.,
the evidence of the doctors patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex'
pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
ful mineral ingredients, it is the only
.osood remedy which acts on the true
principle of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather thar
tearing down the health. No loss o.
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu
rial wrecks result from the use OF S.S.S
