Who Can Doubt Sworn Testi-
mony Of Honest Citizens?

Some time ago l began tae use Ct
your Swamp-Root with tie most &c
markaDIe results For years l was
almost a wreck and was a great sui
ferer. l was so bad at times l would
faint away and had sinking spells.
Finally a new doctor was called in and
he said that I had kidney trouble and
gave me medicine, of which took sew
eraI bottles. ] obtained some relic:
from this, but l was getting weaker
all the time; I could not sleep and suf-
fered so much pain That my husband
and children had to lift me in and out
of bed. After this time two friends
sent me word to try Swanp-Root,
which I did, and I am glad to state
that t. first dose gave me great relief.
After taking the third dose l was
helped into bed and slept half of the
night.
l took several bottles of Swamp-Root
and feel that I owe my life to tais
wonderful remedy. The two family
doctors said that 1 could not live
three months. 1 would have to be
helped in and out of bed ten to twentr
+.~~es every night. After taking Or.
n4lmer's Swamp-Root for two days ]
was entirely free from getting up and
could sleep soundly.

4 WORD FOR MOTHERS

tits grave mistake for mothers to neg
lect their aches and pains and suffer In
silence-this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
Ifyour work is firing; If your nerves are
excifable; if you feel 1apguid, weary q
depressed, you should know that SCOTS
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions:
It pssesses in concentrated form the
very elements to invigorate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength.
SCOTS il strengthening thousands Of
mothers-and will help You. No alcohol.

Signing The Constitution

The Constitutional Convention
(which met in the State House,
Philadelphia, on May 25, 1887, ad-
journed on September of the same
wear. to leave the result of their
slabor in the hands Of the people
] of the various states. The conven-
stion had provided for amending
the constitution and for its going
8intO operation when ratified by
mine states. The delegates sent it
st0 Congress-, then sitting in New
Nork, which in turn sent 1t forth
Without comment, to the states.
The country became torn with
Ndiscussion and a bitter contest re-
zsulted. Those favoring the Con-
8stitution called themselves FEEDER
8alists, while their opponents be-
4came known as Anti-federalists.
sThe cry of the opposition was that
Athe new government would be too
%strong and too centralizing; that
sCongress would become tyrant
land crush the liberties of the peo-
Aple. These men, sincerely honest
Ain their opinion, labored at SER
Nous disadvantage, in that their
apoSition was purely negative
8they had nothing to offer instead
Hof the plan they sought to defeat.
sThe most powerful argument for
1.-THE Constitution was brought out
] in series of papers, written most
8Iy by Hamilton, and since known
#collectively as "The Federalist."
@On the other side Richard Henry
y Lee was the foremost writer.
