nerves are delicate wires that en-
able you TO feel pain If you poison
your nerves with drugs you can't
feel the pain until the stupor wears
off, Then the pain comes back and
you have to repeat the dose until
Nature removes the cause
If you have pain in your back
you can stop it for a few hours by
stupefying the nerves with poison
Gus drugs. But to cure that pain
you have got to remove the cause.
That pain is sometimes caused by
kidney trouble. So can't you see
that TO remove the cause you must
restore the kidneys TO a healthy
condition?
The reason the kidneys, liver,
stomach or other organs become
weak or debilitated is because they
lack electricity This must be re-
stored. either artificially or by Ma
ture, before they can do their work
properly
Weakness in men is caused by an
exhaustion of electricity. Get back
that force and you will have your
strength.
Ny E1ectro-yigor pours a stream
of electric life into your nerves
while you sleep. and these conduct
the force to every organ and tissue
of your body. giving health and
strength to every part

AFRAID OF A JOINT DEBATE.
Hon. c. e. Pickett,

Hon. c. e. Pickett,
Waterloo, Iowa.
Dear Sir: have waited in vain for
some response to my letter of about
one month ago, proposing joint de-
bate of the issues of the present cam
paign. None has been received and
| am driven to the conclusion that
you do not intend to concede to me
even the courtesy of reply. Per
hsps you think that to ignore my let
ter involves no greater discourtesy
than was contained in the wording
the reply you sent me to my pre-
vious communication of last May.
The purport of that letter was sim
ply: This isn't your butt in
may however remind you that
the Waterloo republican papers sup
porting your candidacy, in publishing
that declination, stated on your au-
thority that after the nominations
had been made you would be willing
to debate with Elliott. This was ev-
identity a bluff and when your bluff
