Grip Quickly Knocked Out

Some weeks ago during the severe

self contracted severe colds which
speedily developed into the worst kind
of In grippe with all its miserable
symptoms" says Mr.. j. S. Egleston of
Maple Landing, Iowa. Knees and
joints aching, muscles sore, head stopped
up, eyes and nose running. with alter
nate spells OF chills and fever. We
began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, aiding the same with a dose
of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets, and by its liberal use soon
completely knocked out the grip"
1t is a good plan to take a dose OF the
Tablets when you have a cold. They
promote a healthy action of the bowels,
liver and kidneys which is always bene-
fetal when the system is %congested by a
cold or attack of the grip. For sale by

Democratic Opportunity.

Mr.. Rrvan has announced through the
columns of his paper, The CommOner,
that the principal cause of democratic
defeat this year was that the men who
secured control OF the party organiZa-
ton at st. Louis sounded il retreat
when a charge should have been Or
dered all along the line. He insists that
conditid8s demand radical action, and
that the people want something definite
upon which they can rely. The Com
moner, he announces, will carry OF a
campaign of education, advocating
tariff reform, the overthrow Of private
monopolies, labor legislation, municipal
ownership of public utilities, public
ownership Of railroads and telegraph
systems, an income tax, the election OF
federal judges by the people, the eiec-
ton of United States senators by popu-
lar vote, direct legislation, and the Sc
lection Of postmasters by the people
whom they are to serve.
1t will be necessary to regain control
of the party organization. To do this
the friends of reform throughout the
entire country must work together. A
democratic paper of national scope Of
fers the best means for carrying on this
work, and The Commoner occupies this
field. The campaign or education anh
organization which Mr.. Bryan an
nounce will be carried on through The
Communer will not only be interesting
and instructive, but every democrat and
independent thinker should receive The
Commoner regularly. so as to keep in
touch with the progress the reform
forces are making, and to fortify him
self with facts and arguments to con,
vince his republican neighbor that the
democratic party offers the surest relief
from class legislation and trust domin'
| alton.
The low rate which Mr.. Bryan has
| quoted us on his paper enables us tt
| send you The Commoner and OpelOusas
| COURIER both one year for 1926, Ge'
your neighbors to join you in circulat'
ing democratic literature, and the cleo
