ADDRESS ISSUED
 ID ALL DEMOCRATS
It is Urged That Clubs be Formed Throughout
 the Country.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-The following was is- sued tonight:
 "To the Democrats of the United States: Tn order that the fight for the rescue of the country from Republican politics may be carried on everywhere with vigor and earnestness, we urge all citizens throughout the United States who are will ing to support the Kansas City platform to meet in their respective communities on Saturday afternoon or evening, September l, 1900, for the purpose of organizing city or precinct Democratic Clubs, where such clubs have not already been organized. These organizations being Democratic should avoid ostentation and extravaganza.

 "I would not be without Peruna for ten times its cost, and cannot speak in too high terms of its value as medicine of wonderful curative properties"
 Mrs. Anna B. Fleharty.
 Nervous prostration always gives fair warning of it's approach, and can be easily warded off by the proper treat ment. Floating brown specks before the eyes, mental confusion, fits of ner- vous headache, sleeplessness, flashes of heat, chilly sensations, palpitation, irri- liability, despondency; any of these symptoms or all of them should be promptly met by the use of Peruna.
 Peruna never fails to prevent nervous prostration if taken in time. Peruna is the most prompt and permanent cure for all cases of nervous prostration known to the medical profession.
