Mr.. Charles Glenn, of 1868 Dudley St,
Cincinnati, is one of the many who
constantly praise SIS. for giving him
back his health. He says:
'From childhood was afflicted with
a terrible blood disease, and have
taken almost every blood remedy on the
market, but my case was deepseated,
and one by one they failed. The large,
red blotches increased in size and NUM-
Der, and soon covered my entire body.
"My parents had me treated by NUM-
Der of physicians, but the disease was
too much for them, and after their TEN.
porary relief was over, 1 found myself
growing steadily worse. Thus grew
into manhood, handicapped by terrible
disease, and having tried SO many rene
dies without relief, when friend urged
me to take S.SS. 1 had little faith in any
medicine. I was happy to find, however,
that had at last gotten the right remedy,
for one bottle of SIS did me so much
good that soon had hopes of being cured.
I continued the remedy, and was cured
completely, the uAsightly spots soon
disappeared, leaving my skin perfectly
clear Ny general health was also built
up, and am robust and strong. 1 be-
lieve SIS. will cure the worst case of
blood poison in the world"
S.S.S. is q real blood remedy, and will
cure the most obstinate cases of Cancer,
Eczema, Catarrh, Scrofula, Rheumatism,
Contagious Blood Poison, old sores,
or any disease caused by impure blood.

therefore less subject to the laws OF

The state Republican convention met
in the opera house today to nominate
candidates for state treasurer and aud
itor general
The convention organized on motion
of Andrews of Crawford, by the cleo
ton of State Chairman Elkin as tenn
State Chairman Ellxin congratulated
the party on its victory last November
and it's prospects of success in Pennsyl-
vania this fall.
After referring to the state issues
and the action of the state legislature
on the reform bills presented, he closed
by saying:
with more gold on the KIondike
can party directing the administration
of national affairs, the Dingley bill on
our statute books and Mckinley hold
ing the reins of government. peace and
prosperity shall dwell within our bor-
ders, let US hope, forever"
The platform adopted is in part as
follows:
The Republicans of Pennsylvania
ratify and reafhrrr the doctrines enun-
ciated in the national platform adopted
at St Louis in 1896, and approved by
the people at the last presidential cleo
ton We rejoice with the people of the
nation upon the passage of the Dingley
tariff bill. It's enactment redeems the
pledges made by the Republican party
to our PROSTATE manufa facturing COM
mercial and business interests and it
holds out to them the bright promise
of prosperity and material develop
ment, such as has ever attended upon
legislation designed for the protection
of home industries and the preservation
of home markets
Already the hum of reviving indus
try is heard throughout the land and
the business interests are responding
eagerly to the encouraging influence of
this IegisIa ton
" Dollar wheat has sounded the
death-knel1 of the free coinage heresy
In the late presidential campaign the
strongest bid made for the agricultural
vote by the Democratic party was the
promise that their success in that cleo
ton would raise the market price of
wheat to one dollar per busheI-pay BILE
in silver. They were overwhelmingly
defeated at the polls, and the farmer
now receives for his wheat one dollar
bUshel-payabIe in gold The dollar
he thus receives will buy in the ma rket
two dollars and thirty-five cents worth
or silver, as measured by the COMA ge
value of that metal We pledge our
selves anew to the Republican doctrine
of sound money and an honest dollar -
The platform then declares in favor
of Just and reasona BILE civil service
system, but denounces President CIeva-
lands unjust extensions and ''parti-
san abuse of the spirit of the law. and
urges the president and congress to re-
pair the wrong done.
