SPEEDY RELIEF ASSURED.
Rheumatic Sufferers Find Blood Wine
Medicine Which Always Cures.

Nothing is so disappointing to a person
suffering from rheuma tism as to find at
ter a trial of some widely advert sed mcdi-
cine or ointment, that it not only fails to
relieve the pain, but in many instances
only makes matters worse by wholly up
setting the system. To all who are af-
fcted with rheumatism or govt, Blood
Wine is especially recommended as an alb
solute cure. 1t contains no wine, nor is
there grain of any opiate in its compost
ton. 1t is pure, clean, medical COM
pound which relies for its curative pow "a
on its action as a blood purifier. With
pure blood, rheumatism cannot exist. The
following letters are from those who have
been fully cured of rheumatism by the usa

Vermont Politics

Or. W. Seward Webb wishes to be gov
trnor of Vermont. Probably he will be per-
mitted to have his wish. Nobody but IL
railroad niagnstc has been seriously con-
sIdered as a possible candidate for some
time. 1t Is presumed that the other one
has been appeased in some manner by the
Webb influence. and that the ways are
creased for sliding the doctor into the
governors chair, or will be CREASED in duo
time II they are not already. Vermont is
DR.. Webb's adopted State. He removed TO
it from New York few years ago. tempo

TO like Vermont and to find the Vermont
crs easy. He has secured control of the
chief railroad interests, and made them
subsidiary to the schemes of his relatives.

II will be safe to discount the disturbing
stories which are being circulated, charg-
ing the supporters of both the leading
gubernatorial candidates with conspirinS
to make combinations with democrats in
connection with the municipal contest. No
gccd can come from the injection of gov
ernorship politics into the municipal elcc-
ton and it may result in positive harm to
our local interests. Under the cic-
cumstances coalition with the op-
position would be suicidal for re-
publicans Of either faction, and indicate
a degree of short-sightedness which we
believe to be possessed by neither Of them.

The denunciation of the majority of
the state supreme court for its decision
In the ripper" cases by Alexander
Simpson, Jr., the retiring president of
the State Bar Association, at the meet
ing of that body at Cambridge Springs
yesterday, will probably impress the
minds of thinking people more than
all the stump oratory on the subject
that can be perpetrated during the
present political canvass. Mr.. Simp-
son, by the way, is a Republican. His
criticism of the majority of the su-
preme court, therefore, cannot be
charged up to political partisanship. In
the course of his remarks Mr.. Simpson
quotes section of article 3 of the state
ment of ANY local or special laws
regulating the affairs of counties, cit
les, townships, wards, boroughs or
school districts or changing
their charters, creating offices or pre-
scribing the powers and duties of Off
GERS in counties, cities, boroughs, etc.
Mr.. Simpson comments on this consti-
tutional provision as follows: ut Is
safe to say, from the debates in the
convention and from the history of the
times, that outside of the supreme
court chambers nearly everyone sup
posed that the clauses quoted destroy
ed the power to legislate for locali-
ties" To the lay mind at least it
seems that Mr.. Simpson has the cor
rect view of the matter.-Harrisburg
