WILL YOU SUFFER with Dyspepsia and

Out of the Breastworks.
Tate SriuNGs , Tenw. , July 4,1888.
The Swift Specific Co. , Atlanta , Ga. :
Gentlemen Seven years ago I contracted
an exceedingly bad case of blood poison. I
tried a physician , the best at command , but
secured no benefit. My throat began to
get sore , and my body covered with sores
and ulcers. Going from bad to worse , I
felt that my grave must be reached in the
near future. I gave up the doctors' treat
ment , and with a despairing hope I com
menced taking your medicine. I began to
improve from the first bottle , and in a short
time the ulcers healed , and my skin cleared
off and was entirely well.
One year ago a case of catarrh developed
in my system. The physician did his best ,
but could not cure me ; but two bottles of
Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief.

Gentlemen I have been afflicted with a

have received the greatest benefit from its
use. Yours truly , Wm. JONES.

is a llttlo neglect on tho part of non-liturgical
churches to forgot to pray for the heads of our

scripture in strong words commands It , "Ren
der unto Caesar the things that belong to
Caesar , and to God tho things that belong to
God. " So called Domocracy or more properly
called "Bourbonism" is entombed in the grave

The avorago bourbon paper is very much ex

Randall , end is hurling pumpkins of the larg
est size at his devoted head. But they will
coon got over it. Sammy Is their fate , and they
will bo marched up to the polls in 1893 to vote
for him for president , if ho lives until that
timo. Ho is tho receiver of all that is loft of
the democratic party , and when ho gets a grip
on property of that sort he knows how to keep
It. Carlisle , Mills and Cleveland were the
wreckors , and tho court that sat on November
5 declared the corporation busted and appoint

he can with them.

THE REV. GEO. H. THAYER , of Bourbon ,
' nd. , says : "Both myself and wifo owe our
ives to SHILOH'S CONSUMPTION CURE. "
The king of Holland is dying ; Otto , of Ba-
raria , is hopelessly insane ; tho emperor of
Austria is well nigh crazy with grief and
ihamo ; Emperor Wjlliam suffers terribly with
lis head ; King Humburt is uneasy under his
srown ; tho young king of Spain suffers fre-
luently with the colio ; the czar has a bad cold ,
ind Grover Cleveland isn't feeling well him-
elf. It is a bad winter for monarchs.
SHILOH'S CURE will immediately relieve
hroup. Whooping Cough and Bronchitis. Mc-
lillen'B.
President Cleveland's post mortem eulo-
; Ies were appropriately delivered through
he mugwump press. If one squared toed
rheel horse of democracy can be found In all
ho land who sincerely regrets the departure
f Cleveland from tho white house , he can se-
ure a permanent and profitable engagement
a a circuit of dime museums.
The people of the west have good reason to
herish tho memory of the Fiftieth congress ,
he addition of four new states to the union
larks an era of prosperity and power for the
eople of Dakota , Montana and Washington.
