GRIP EPIDEMICs.

Rock Island, as stated heretofore in
The ARGUS, is no exception to other
cities throughout the land in the mat
ter of the prevalence of the grip.
The horrid disease is epidemic in
New York and there are 100, 600 cases
in Chicago. The New York Herald
describes the type of the disease in
that city as follows:
I'VE are becoming so accustomed
to expect the appearance of grip at
this season that it is no surprise to
learn that it is here. Fortunately.
however. its type is quite mild and
the attacks of the disease are of short
duration. 1t commences, as usual,
with catarrhal symptoms, aching of
the limbs, marked lassitude, slight
rise of temperature. So far the up
per air passages are mainly affected.
The patient, as a rule, is not confined
to his room for more than two or
three days, but when he gets up and
around is apt to be annoyed for week
or more with a troublesome and dr.
cough.
I'm exceptional cases the febrile
phenomena have lasted for eight or 10
DAYS continuously. and have in some
respects resembled the symptoms of
commencing typhoid.
"For the most part the convalescent
patients are apt to be troubled for a
considerable period with weakness,
general want of physical tone and al
together are very much out of sorts.
tits then that complications are apt
to show themselves after indiscre-
tions in diet or exposure to inclemen-
cies of the weather. Now'is the time
to be careful of a cold The latter
is very apt during the winter months
to invite pneumonia, but especially so
while influenza is prevalent.
s.Paradoxical as it may appear, the
light attacks of the grip are oftentimes
more dangerous than the severe ones,
as in the former instances the pa
tients are most apt to be careless OF
themselves during the weak physical
conditions that follow"

A STRENGTHENED
Vinol Promptly overcones
Weakness.
DEBILITY OFTEN PRECEDES
COMPLETE COLLAPSE.
We Want Every One to Know
How to Get Strong.
our vIN0L IS A STRENGTH
CREATOR.

The saddestsighton earthisa broken
down man or woman.
We see such people every day right
here in our city.
1t is pitiful TO see man that should
be in his prime dragging himself
through life detected, discouraged and
broken down, due to some premature
weakness It does not make any diff
ference whether this weakness is the
result of dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease; it can be overcome.
We have known of many very serious
cases of debility quickly overcome by
Vinol
Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and
strength creator. Itcontains the active
curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in
a highly concentrated form. The
benefit that can be derived from the
use of these properties is SO well known
that there is no need for us to enter
into that subject.
We could quote many instances where
Vinol has done good; as an example,
here is one coming from Jane s. Fen
fren, prominent member of the w. G.
II. T.. and a resident of Suncoolx, n. 81.
She writes:
II was run down, was in bed from
MAY to March. Was SO nervous and
sickly that every one thought l was in
a most precarious condition. My weight
was reduced to 120 pounds. / was adj
vised to take Vinol, which 1 did, and
am now very much better, and am able
to be about again. As a rebuilder and
a strength giver nothing can equal 1t.
Vinol is a God-blessing to anybody"
Because Vinol is delicious, and
because it does contain these
much-sought-after medicinal
properties we endorse it, and we
unhesitatingly proclaim that it is
better than any preparation Of
cod-iiver oil or tonic rebuilder'we
have ever had in our store.

Knox KNOWS WHAT KNoCKs.

1t must be much colder weather
than any we have had so far this sea-
SON when, if anything is being passed
around politically in this state that
Knox county republicans have not
their hands out for it. The expert
ence of the Tenth congressional dis
trict since the last superintendent
has demonstrated this fact forcibly to
the people of the other counties. Not
since the present district was formed
has other than Galesburg man rep
resented it in the lower house of con-
gress. First, Knox county asked that
the late Gen. Post, who had held the
seat for the district of which Knox had
been part. be, by reason of his ex-
perience, continued in office. The
wish was atceded to, and then when
Gen. Post died in office, Knox came to
the fore again, this time with Prince,
fought the entire district in one
of the most memorable conventions
ever held in the state, and finally won
out. Since then no other republican
aspirant in the district has been close
enough to Princes place to touch the
mem of his garment at the time of the
showdown.
Now Mr.. Prince, with the zeal
born of the county in which he lives,
is down at Springfield contesting for a
seat in the United States senate, and
the fact that he is who he is-Mr.
Prince, of KRox-is almost sufficient to
satisfy the average mind that he is in
the business, not because he loves
someone else, but that he loves him
self alone-although the contrary
may, perchance, as hath been avowed,
be true.
And so it has ever been with Knox
county. Since away back at the be-
ginning. of Illinois politics, Knox
county republicans have been in
the game when there was pub
lie Office at stake. When it
has not been Clark E. Carr it has been
someone else from the same neck o.
the woods. Prince, too, has done his
share of the asking-and the getting.
He was a candidate for attorney gen.
eral in 1892, won the republican
nomination, but was defeated despite
the fact that he was so sanguine of
success as to rent house in Spring
field. Before that he had been in the
legislature for the district of which
Knox was a part. Since Prince has
been in congress Clark E. sCarr mas.
after holding all the federal offices in
the neighborhood of Galesburg, and
being abroad on attractive missions a
Couple of times, been a candidate
for the United States senate. This
was the last time Illinois made
a selection-when Billy Mason
received his credentials. Others
less conspicuous in the party
ranks in Knox have in the
meantime asked to be fed and have
received their portion every time.
And at the last state convention. NJ.
o. Villa nson, the clerk of the county,
landed the republican nomination for
state treasurer. and is now merely
awaiting his turn to be sworn in.
When it comes to being in it, strict
ly and all the time. Knox county re-
publicans demand, and generally
receive, recognition-and, we do not
know but that they deserve what
they get, and honorable mention into
the bargain.

tempts to draw others to the dictates
of his conscience afterwards. 1t will
be remembe that Notwithstanding
the noble fight Mr.. Hoar had made on
thefioor of the senate for the spirit of the
American declaration of independence
and constitution in dealing with the
Filipinos. when the campaign came on
he declared he would rather trust the
fate of the islands to the present adj
ministration, despite the un-American
attitude that had characterized its
dealing with the Philippine question,
than to invite a change in the party
in control of the government. Senator
Hoar's own party paid him back for
his loyalty yesterday.
