braskan Establishing "Har-
mony of Death"

Jersey City, Jan. 2o.-Wit1iam ].
Bryan was accused. of wanting to es-
tablish "the harmony of death" in
the democratic party in a statement
issued by Gov. Edward I. Edwards
in reply to an attack made upon the
New jersey executive by Mr.. Bryan
at Bristol, Va, last night. Mr..
Bryan had charged Governor Ed
wards with being an agent of the
liquor interests and with trying to
disrupt the democratic party.
In his statement Governor Ed
wards said:
"The harmony Mr.. Bryan wants is
the harmony OF death. If he has his
way the democratic convention at
San Francisco will be the morgue
from which will be picked the
corpse TO appear at 2 November ma
tional funeral. What l wish is to
disturb no harmony, but an intelli-
gent graphing with the situation so
that we will have clearly defined the
issue of liberty against sectarianism.

briel, to call the party to life, than

Don't Believe That Old Hurnbus

of Rheumatism-Its Not SoP

Emphatically asserting that thousands of
unfortunate sufferers have been led into
false belief that Uric Acid" causes rheu-

LAS do some of our highest medical
authorities now know that Uric Acid

out this truth. 1 learned how TO get rid
of my rheumatism and recover my health
and strength, through reading The Inner
Mysteries of Rheumatism a work written
by an authority who has scientifically
studied the cause and treatment of rheuma-
tism for over twenty years 1t was. indeed
q yeritable revelation.
Il had suffered agony for years from
rheumatism and associated disorders. and
Mrs. Reed was tortured with the demon
neuritis almost beyond endurance. We had
read and talked so much about Uric Acid
that our minds seemed poisoned. But the
Inner Mysteries of Rheumatism made it
all clear to US and now We are both free
from the suffering and misery we endured
so many years l believe 1 was the hard
to discard the old Uric Acid theory, and
what / now know to be absolutely false.
for the new, scientific understanding of the
causes and cure of rheumatism, was like
asking me to change my religious beliefs
But did change, and 1t was a fortunate
day for me and mine when I did so.''
