A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy IS the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there
would hc no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is.
Rheumatism is u disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy-somethiug more than
n mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and il
promptly goes TO the very bottom
OF even the most obstinate case.

THE DEMOCRATIC BATTLE CRY.

St. Louis, Mo-, May 24.--Whether the
Ismocratic battle cry in the coming pres.
ideuSial campaign is to be "anti-trusts'
ana "anti imperialism, or the old slogan
of "l6 to l. will in all probability be
largely deter mined at the conferences OF
the national committee which is to be
held at the Planters hotel tomorrow.
1t Is definitely stated by all the commit
teemen that the meeting is not regular
gathering of the national committee and
has no power other than to announce the
operations of those who attend 1t. The
whole affair Is apparently, however, MS
summing an inter-trust aspect. The sub
ject of silver .is omitted from the lists
Of the toasts at the dinner which IS pro-
nounced an "anti-trust' affair.
The fight between the Altgeld and Har-
rison factions of Illinois is the uppermost
thing today. The Harrison men who are
by far more numerous than the Altgeld
partisans, are working hard and will
make a savage effort tomorrow to have
Altgeld removed from the advisory COM
nittee of the national committee. -

master, of Philadelphia, for equipping
the special train with crew unfamiliar
with the main line; Engineer Drill and
Conductor Magee for reckless running
and Engineer Wilder Smith for having
