W. +, MORGAN is a brilliant young
lawyer IN Milwaukee. He is the Re
publican nominee for attorney general.
Just now be is very much in the public
eye, and why Simply because he had
the courage 70 say what he thought.
II happens that what he though was
that Colonel Mccoy, a democrat, would
make Wisconsin a better governor than
j. j. Blaine, and he said so. 1t was a
simple thing to do, the right thing too,
and yet itattracted statewide attention
because most candidates for Office trim
along, fearful that they themselves
may lose a vote.
We honor VIM f. Morgan for his
revolutionary and refreshing frankness
and express the regret that we have
but one vote to cast for him on Novem-

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and I'M
able to work.
He finally decided, after years Of
ceaseIess study. that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accunu-
lated impurities. componly called uric
acid deposits, were dissolved in the
joints and muscles and expelled from
the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom Of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to others
who took it. with what might be called
marvellous success. After years of urg-
ing he decided to let sufferers every
where know about his discovery
through the newspapers. Your drug
gist has been appointed agent for
Allenrhu in this vicinity with the under
standing that he will freely return ,e
