There is one very suggestive fact
. . ' 1 1 1 1
in connection witn cne ooom ana
the closing of saloons in Sioux City,
Iowa, according to the Journal-
newspaper of that place. It says
that the persons lately engaged in
the saloon business there are not
acting on the argument used h
them a little while ago, to the e
feet that closing the saloons would
ruin the town, ,but are, on the con
trary, acting on the opposite theory.
That is to say, a multitude of in
stances might be cited where ex-saloon-keepers
have beeu heavy in
vestors in Sioux City real estate or
are engaged now in extensive build
ing operations or plans for such
operations. Such is the absolute
fact, and it requires a profound logi
cian to interpret its significance.
' FREE TRADE.
Tim reduction of Internal revenue and the tak
ing oft of stamps from proprietary medicines no
doubt has largely benefitted tho consumers as
well as relieving the burden of home manufac
turers. Especially is this the case with Grktn'8
Auouht Flowxb and Hohchct.' Gkbmax Syrup,
as tho redaction of thirty-six cents per doren has
been added to increase the sice of the bottles
containing these, remedied, thereby giving one
fifth more medicino in the 75 cent else. The
August Flower for dyspepsia and liver complaint
and Gormaa Byrup for congh and lung troubles,
have perhaps tho largest sales of any medicines
in the world. The advantage of increased sice of
bottlcM will bo greatly appreciated by tho sick
and afflicted in ever' town and village in civilised
countries. Snmple bottles for ten cents remain

Her fingers festered and several nails dropped otT
at one tune. Her limbs contracted by the fearful
leeration, and for years she did not leave her bed.
Her weight was reduced from 135 to SO lbs. Some
faint idea of her condition con be cleaned froa
the fact that three pounds of Cosmotine or out
Bent were used per week in dressing her sores.
Finally the physicians acknowledged their defeat
by this Black Wolf, and commended the sufferer
to her all-wise Creator.
Her husband Bearing wonderful reports of Swift's
Specific (S. S. S.). prevailed on her to try it aa

soon found that her system was being relieved cf
the poison, as the sores nn-umcd a red and healthy
