A Remarkable Case.

One OF the most remarkable. cases
OF a cold. deep-seated on the lungs,
causing pneumonia, is thai of Mrs.
Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind,
who was entirely cured by the u.s. Of
One Minute Cough Cure. She says:
1.-The coughing and straining SO
weakened me that / run down in
weight from 14S to SO pounds. 1
tried a number of remedies to no
avail until l used One Minute Cough
Cure. Four BOTTLES of this wonderful
remedy cured me entirely of the
cough, strengthened my lungs and
restored me to my normal weight,
health and strength" l.. O. Gale.

The Washington Star in discussing

The Washington Star in discussing
the proposition to pension the ex-
slaves. has the following to say:
Those confederate veterans IN the
south who at their meetings are pass
ing resolutions favorable to the ex-
slave pension scheme show a singular
lack of Judgment in dealing with an
Important question.
1t is natural for these men to feel
sympathy for the ex-slayes. There
is likewise a temptation to play pol
itics. These veterans are all demo-
Gratis and an impression is abroad that
a Graceo-Roman tussle is in progress
between the President and Mr.. Han
ma for control of the republican or
ganIZation. Mr.. Hanna laughs at the
story, but it continues to circulate,
and particularly in the South. Nat
urally democratic sympathy is with
Mr.. Hanna, on the principle that it
is always best to cheer on a movement
which has for its object making trou-
BILE in the camp Of the opposition.
But the Endorsement OF this meas
nre by these confederate posts is not
qualified. They are not asking that
it become a law because the republic
cans are In power, but are committing
to it as something merit
crious in itself. To the extent of
their influence with their own party
they are also committing the demOc-
racy to it. That is a foolish perform
ance. The e~x-slayes are not going to
be pensioned by the government, and
men, north Or south, who attempt to
play politics with the proposition will
themselves, and, to the extent
Of their ability, the party to which
they belong.

and draw this effnsion TO its close.

The Stomach Is the Man

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food
he eats into nourishment. Health
and strength cannot be restored to
any sick man or weak woman with
out first restoring health and
strength to the stomach. a weak
stomach cannot digest enough food to
feed the tissues and revive the tired
and run down limbs and organs of the
body. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cleanses
and strengthens the glands and men,
branes of the stomach and cures in
digestion, dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles. l.. o. Gale.
