Success of Munyon's Inhaler.

Actual merit must nowadays be the
keynote of advertising. The public
will no longer purchase mediocrity
and worthlessness simply because
they are we'll advertised. This is
especially true in regard to medicinal
preparations, and in this fact is to be
found the reason for the enormous
success and popularity of the deserv-
eddy famous Mnnyon Remedies.
These remedies proved their value
their positive curative powers-at the
very start; they are now accepted and
highly priced as family necessaries
everywhere.
When Professor Munyon recently
placed upon the market his new In
haler, and announced that it would
absolutely cure catarrh, bronchitis,
asthma, coughs, colds and all throat
and lung troubles, the public was
prepared and ready to receive it with
confidence, for all previous Munyon
promises had been more than fulfilled.
The sales of the inhaler in this city
and vicinity have been very large. for
each user at once recommends it to
friend and neighbor.
A representative of the Munyon
company, OF 1hlladelphia, states that
over five hundred thousand of these
health-giving instruments are now in
use throughout the United States.
The relief it gives is immediate, i'm
provement is soon noticeable and per-
manent cure follows quickly. The
inhaler's unprecedented success has
been due entirely to the fact that it
has been tested and not found want
ing.
The public demonstration in the
leading drug stores soon make evil
den just what the inhaler will do.

Lies About Chairman AIaueker.

Not content with indulging in pre-
varication and SANDER of the candi-
dates on the democratic ticket. the
Union has gone out of its way to cast
falsehoods and slurs at Chairman
Maucker, of the democratic CITY,
township con- mittee. A number of
absolutely false accusations have been
made concerning his manner of con-
Quoting the campaign, of which the
Second ward speech attributed to him
is sample. In the first place no
meeting was held in the Second ward
last Tuesday night or any other night,
and MIR. Maucker has made no
speeches there or in any other ward
since the campaign opened. a re-
publican expressed the common opin-
ion of the Unions course yesterday
when he asked, ..why is the Union
misrepfesenting Mr.. Maucker, or for
that matter attacking him at all?
Seems to me the fact that The ARGUS
has spared Chairman Hugh Mcdonald
on the other side, who, as n side
show to the ''corner," is engineering
the McConochie biennial crusade,
should have justified little reciproc-
ity on the Unions part"
