who can't seem to get well or find out
what their trouble is. Such people often

symptom, telling just what your trouble
is and how to get cured. Write him i'm

the three furnished by the railroad com.
pany. Last night the democratic mem
bers tried 10 railroad through a resolu-

tract for more than they could pay for,
and succeeded In defeating the resO-
luton.
