YOUR WEAK SPOT.
Do You Know Just Where it Is?
"A Fortress is no Stronger Than Its Weak
est Spot" Neither is Any Man
or Woman.

"Hopelessly ruined through on,
weak spot,'
1t was a great scientific expert wht
recently expressed this opinion in re
gard TO costly battles hip lately com
pleted for the United States navy.
| When the huge vessel was launched
and made ready to receive its gigan-
tic cannon, it was found that it could
not stand the strain of the added
weight. The whole ship was in dan
ger of falling to pieces. Owing to q
weak spot in its construction, the
great man-of-war was hopelessly
ruined. 1t was only when the strain
came that its weak condition was act
ually discovered.
Strange as it may seem. there are
| thousands of men and women in ex-
| actly the same condition as this great
battleship. They have weak spots in
| their system which they never sus-
pect. They pay no attention to
alarming symptoms of i'll health and
seek no remedy. Some day a strain
comes and they discover too late that
they are in no condition to fight with
disease. They catch a sudden cold or
| chill and it speedily turns into pneu-
monia. They suffer from peculiar
sensations or pains which eventually
turn out to be the symptoms of
Bright's disease or congestion of the
liver.
Where is the weak spot in your sys-
tenn? The chances are that you have
one which badly needs attention. Ply
sicians tell us that in almost every
case the weak spot can be found in the
liver or kidneys. These great organs
of the body require constant watch
ing. Our climate, our diet, our habits
of living put them to a continual
strain, and when they get out of order
the whole system suffers.
If you are feeling tired, worn out,
gloomy, dull, dizzy and nervous, have
pains in the back and loins, suffer
from headaches, chilly sensations.
biliousnsss or are losing sleep and
flesh, you can make up your mind
that your liver and kidneys are in
need of treatment. You have a weak
spot that must not be trifled with.
There is one cause for these weak
spots. There is only one way to cure
them. Something is needed to act on
the liver and kidneys where the weak
HESS eAlSlS. LOU CdHuOl cure ulSedSc
of these great organs with pills or
other cheap remedies. Something is
required to strike at the root of the
ailment. There is in fact only one
remedy which is-guaranteed to cure
every form of liver and kidney COM
plant. That remedy is Warmers Safe
Cure which for twenty years has stood
the test and earned. as all are aware,
worldwide reputation. No other
remedy compares with it for regulat-
ing the action of the liver and kidneys,
driving out disease, building up the
system and giving fresh life. Writing
upon the subject DR.. Gum says: I'm
a large class of ailments where the
blood is in an unhealthy state, where
the general health is bad. face sallow,
the urine collored, the advantage
gained by the use of Warmers Safe
Cure is remarkable.
Every person has ''weak spot, "
some portion of the body that needs |
help. Do you not think it would be
well to use that which is certain to
help and to cure and to do so without
delay?

ties claimed the house. though it was
apparently conceded that the Republi-

March 4 next. At 4:3O .. m. yesterday
Chairman Babcock, of the Republican

The Question mt the White House.
Interest in the election figures at the
White House centers exclusively on the
political complexion of the next house
of Representatives. President Mckinley
is deeply concerned over the possible loss
of the house, and the fact that in that
case for two years after March next he
would have to contend with a hostile
majority in the lower house. where
must originate all the financial legisla-
tion. from which he expected great re-
suits in 1900. Two of the big surprises
in the congressional results were the
defeat of c. w. Stone in Pennsylvania
and of j. II. Walker. in Massachusetts,.
Stone is chairman Of the house commit
tee on coinage. weights and measures.
the most important committee of the
house when financial legislation is con-
sidered, while Walker had the equally
prominent position OF chairman of the
banking ard currency committee The
defeat OF these two chairmen. with the
possibility that the Democrats will be
able to organize the house, makes any
important financial legislation a prac-
ticaI impossibility during McKinley's
term.
Babcock's Later Prediction.
Chairman Babcock. of the Republican
congressional committee. said last even
ing that the house of representatives
of the Fffty-Sixth congress would be
Republican without doubt. Throughout
the day and evening a corps Of political
statisticians had been at work in Re
publican headquarters compiling and
analyzing the returns. In a statement
TO the Associated Press Chairman Bah
sock said: There can be no longer any
reasonable argument over the political
complexion OF the next house of repre-
sentatives. 1t viii be Republican. De-
yond the shadow OF a doubt. Our ad-
