There is so much rheumatism here

following advice by an eminent au.
thority, who writes for readers OF a
large eastern daily paper, will be
highly appreciated by those who
suffer.
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandeliop.
one ounce Compound Ksrgon, three
ounces Of Compound Syrup Sarsa.
parilla Shake these well in a bot
Tie and take in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime.
II Is claimed that there are few
victims Of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief in this simple home made mix.
iure, and IN most cases a perma-
nent cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina.
tive tissues Of the kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only rheumatism, but numerous
other diseases. Every man and
woman who feels that their kidneys
are not healthy and active, or who
suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever should not hesitate to
make up this mixture, as it is GER
tain to do much good, and may save
you from much misery and suffering
after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply The ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take il our
readers ask them.

The Machines DupIicity.

Inc journal was at least vocif-
erous, if not accurate, in urging
the representative from this coun-
ty that it was his duty to root
and vote for l.. J. Forman for
the presidency of the state SEN
ate on the ground that he
was the unanimous choice of the
Republicans of Preston county,
when it is questionable if the
Journal is commissioned to speak
for one per cent of the Republicans
OF the county. The Journal had
been tipped that Forman was
slated as the state administration
candidate, which was sufficient to
start its windmill for Forman. but
when the solons assembled i'm
Charleston they found the pres
sure was too great and the state
administration had changed to
Col. Joe Fl. McDermott, who had
been in close touch with the crude
oil when Dawson needed votes for
governor.
The desertion of Forman by the
machine was in strict accordance
with its ethics in politics, which
IS to support the granger who can
bring the most grist to its mill.
We have often wondered why
Senator Forman has not awakened
to a realization that he had been
butting his head against a stone
wall which the machine has pre-
pared for those who follow it
blindly and ask no questions,
while those who use the battering
ram on its nefarious carcass occa-
sionally are provided for hand.
somely.
1t was rumored that in order to
placate Senator Forman and heal
the wounds which had been in
flicted he would be elevated to the
bench upon the REIMBURSEMENT
Of Judge Sanders. But the know
ing ones say that the Grant coun-
ty mans name was not even de-
posted in the grab bag and there
fore Gov. Dawson did not have TO
work overtime grabbing for the
man whom he led to believe he
would support for president Of the
state senate.
Thisis the condition which con-
fronts Senator l.. J. Forman and
his friends when they are called
upon n choose between the ma
chine candidate and the anti-ma-
chine candidate 70 succeed Sena-
tor Sam b Montgomery. The
Journal cannot claim the support
Of The Grant county statesman
and bis friends for its machine
in as much as it de-
serted Forman in bis presidential
longing. To the disinterestcd i'll
appears that Forman holds the
trump card in the senatorial battle
which will shortly be wagcd with
malice toward none and charity
for all.
