Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmo others never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. H.

and the republic is to fulfill its sacred
mission, will be received with eX-
pressions of qualification among the
rank and file of the party and the peo-
pie generally throughout the land.
The forecast of ssibilities as to the
character of next years party declar-
ations is gained through the express
sioDs of representative party leaders
who assembled in Chicago yesterday
in response to the calls of the demo-
cratic national and state executive
committees.
The form of legislation which has
fostered the trusts, and the policy in
our foreign relations which has
launched the republic on a career of
conquest and territorial aggrandize-
ment in distant seas, are both off,
springs of the present administration
of national affairs. Both are essen
italy ruinous to the cherished insti-
tutions on which this government, or
any other government of the people
and for the people, is founded. The
one prescribes for the control by the
classes, the other for government by
force. One encourages the amalga-
nation of the financial, commercial
and industrial interests of the coun-
try, the lessening of the opportuni-
ties for the distribution of wealth and
the placing of the control of the COM
modities of life in the hands of the
few; the other encourages the growth
and advancement of the military
power as a necessary adjunct to gov
ernment.
Both these innovations must prove
disastrous to the principles which
have made this land the bright
est, freest and happiest on the face of
the globe.
The country has been as it has be-
cause the great masses of the people
have ruled-have ruled for them
selves, and have gone cOntentedly
about their own affairs, governing
themselves and providing for them
selves. 1t is that such conditions,
the removal of which is now threat
ened, may continue that the demo-
cratic national platform of 1900 will
appeal.

literature. While adhering strictly to
the original purpose of the publica-

crisp timely reading material such as

WORST KIND OF A CASE.
We Will Tell You if You Will Be-
IieVe Ii.
The Experience of Well Known Person,
Ought Surely to BE Convincing.

We ask you to read the following
statement from well-known citizen
because he suffered from one of the
worst kind of cases of backache and
kidney disorder and was cured by the
use of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. If you
are in the least way troubled with
weak back or disordered kidneys, use
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids; they cure every
time. Here is what Fred Boetje, 921
Fifth avenue, manufacturer OF
ground mustard, says:
Il was suffering severely with
rheumatism caused by my kidneys
being out of order. l had a sharp
pain across my back and in my left
side, which extended all the way down
my left leg to my foot, at times
| would feel the pains in 9th
er parts of my body and limbs. L
tried several kinds of medicine, but
got no relief until 1 got some of Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids at NJ. F. Bahnsen' s
drug store. They gave me relief in q
day or so, but l continued to take
them and now the pain is all gone and
l feel better in every way. Before
taking Kid-ne-oids | could not sleep
for the pain, it was so severe at times;
1 was troubled with urinary disorder
which showed itself in frequent and
excessive discharges. All my trou-
bic is now gone; Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids have cured me-
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills
but yellow tablets, which is a scien-
tific form of preparing medicine.
They are put up in wooden boxes
which contain enough for about two
weeks treatment and sell at so cents
at NJ. F. Bahnsen's drug store.
