..GILSON'S S0R THROAT CURE.
Good for Tons! litis.
Office of W. M. LINE. M. D.
Germantown, Neb.. Feb. 8, 1904.
I have had most excellent results
with Gilson's Sore Throat Cure in dis
eases of the throat and mucous lin
ings. I find its application in tonsl
litis and cases where a false mem
brane exists in th throat, as in
diphtheria, to have an Immediate ef
fect, loosening and removing the mem
brane, and thereby at once relieving
this distressing sensation of smother
ing noted in these cases. My clinical
experience with Gilson's Sore Throat
Cure has proved to me its value and 1
can heartily recommend it to all as a
safe and reliable preparation for the
disease it is recommended.

political party in the fall compaign,

pare a suitable declaration of princi
ples. In thirteen years, since 1890, wages
have risen on an average 21.8 per cent
in Germany, 1.9 per cent in Great Brit
ain, and 20.7 per cent in the United
States. There have been industries
in which the rise of wages has been
considerably higher, but figures give
approximate the general average. The

force in 1783 contained the following
clauses: Any tailor who joined a
union was to be sent to jail for two
months. Tailors must work from 6

Wages were not to be higher than 48
cents a day. Each tailor was to be
allowed 3 cents for breakfast. Any
tailor who refused to work was to be
imprisoned for not more than two
months. If any employer paid higher
wages he was to be fined $25 and the
workmen who took the increase were
to be sent to jail for two months.
There has recently been issued by
the labor department of the British
board of trade a report on strikes and
lockouts in the United Kingdom in
1904. From a statement of strikes
and lockouts, 1900 to 1905, it appears
that the number of disputes resulting
in favor of the employes was, for each
of the years shown, less than the num
ber in which the employers were suc
cessful. The number compromised'
also exceeds the number in which the
employes succeeded, though, except in
1900, it is less the number decided in
favor of the employers. The total
numbers of disputes for the five-year
period was 2,473, 25.3 per cent of which
the employes' won, while the employ
ers were successful in 43.3.
