CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic con-
ditions in the cure Of consumption
is very much overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient,
too, can do much better at home
by proper attention to food diges-
tion, and a regular use of German
Syrup. Free expectoration in the
morning is made certain by Ger
man Syrup, SO is good nights
rest and the absence of that weak
ening cough and debilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the ex-
haustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread of the
consumptive, can be prevented or
stopped by taking German Syrup
literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to a warmer
cline, you will find that of the
thousands of consumptives there,
the few who are benefited and re-
gain strength are those who use
German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c;

Enumerating the reasons why the
Republican party will ask a renewed
expression of confidence from the peo-

assurance of good government; be-
cause its candidates are of approved
competence and patriotism; because its
present policies are beneficial. the peO-

should not be interfered with. He
asked if we have not had a good, safe
