Tlie republicans or Xebrasl;a reiterate and cordially indorse the fundamental principles of the republican party as vtinciitted by successive national repub lican conventions from 18."( to 1SSS and lelievo the republican party capable of dealing with every vital issue that con cerns the American people, wherever tlie rank and file of the republican party are unlrainmelcd in the exercise of their po litical rights. Wo heartily indorse the wise and con servative administration of President Harrison. Wo also fully approve the wise action of the republican members of ljoth houses of congress in fulfilling the pledges of the party in legislation upon the coinage of silver and other mesisures of national importance and congratulate the country upon the con tinued reduction of the national debt. We most heartily indorse the action of the republican congress in passing the disability jH'ii.sion bill and a republican president who approved the same and regard it as an act of justice too long delayed because of the opposition to all just pension legislation by a democratic congress; yet wo do not regard it as the full recognition of the great debt of ob ligation which the government and the people owe to those heroic men by rea son of whoso sacrifice and devotion the union was saved and the government restored. Wo do further repeat our declaration in favor of just and fair serv ice pensions graded according to length of service for every soldier and sailor who fought in behalf of the union, and by reason of whose services and devotion the government now exists. We hold an honest, popular ballot and equal representation of all the peo ple to bo the foundation of our republi can government and demand effective legislation to secure the integrity and purity of elections, which are the foun dation of all public authority. Wo favor such revision of the election laws of the state as will guarantee to every voter the greatest possible secrecy in the casting of his ballot ami secure the punishment of any who attempt tlie corruption or intimidation of voters, and we favor tho Australian ballot system for incorporated towns and cities, appli cable both to primary -and regular elec tions so far as it can conform to our organic law. We oppose land monopoly in every form, demand the forfeiture of unearned land grants and the reservation of the public domain for homesteaders only. We recognize tho right of ltibor to or ganize for its protection and by all law ful and peaceful means to secure to itself the greatest reward for thrift and industry. Wo are in favor of laws com piling railroads and manufacturers to use all appliances which science supplies for the protection of laborers against accident. We demand the enactment of a law defining the liability of employers for injuries sustained by employes m cases where proper safeguards have not been used m occupations dangerous to life, limb or health; railway ami other public corporations should lo subject to control through the legislature power that created them. Their undue inllu ence in legislation and imposition of unnecessary burdens upon the people and illegitimate increase of stock or capital should )e prohibited by strin gent laws. We demand of the state that the property of corporations shall be taxed the same as that of individuals: that the provisions of our constitution, requiring the assessment of franchises shall be en forced by suitable legislation. We demand the reduction of freight and passenger rates on railroads to cor respond with rates now prevailing in adjacent states in the Mississippi valley, and we further demand that the next legislature shall abolish all passes or free transportation on railroads, except ing for employes of the railroad com panies. We demand the establishment of the system of postal telegraphy, and request our members in congress to vote and work for government ownership or con trol of the telegraph. We indorse the action of the inter state commission in ordering a reduction of the grain rates between the Missouri river and lake ports. We favor the modification of the stat utes of our state in such manner as shall prevent the staying of judgments se cured for work and labor, and the enact ment of such laws as shall provide for the speedy collection of the wages of our laborers. We favor a revision of the tariff in the interest of the producer llnd laborer. The import duties on articles of common use should be placed as low as is con sistent with the protection of American industries. We denounce all organizations of cap italists to limit productions, control supplies of the necessities of life and advance prices as detrimental to the best interests of society and as unjusti fiable interference with the natural laws of competition and trade and ask their prompt suppression. The republican party has given the people an elastic currency of gold, silver and paper, and has raised tho credit of the nation to one of the highest of any country in the world, and its efforts to fully remonetize silver should be contin ued until it is on a perfect equality as a money metal with gold. Owners of public elevators that receive and handle grain for storage should be declared public warehousemen and com pelled under penalty to receive, store, ship and handle the grain of all persons alike, without discrimination. The 6tate regulating charge for storage and in spection. All railroad companies should be required to switch, haul, receive and ship the grain of all persons alike, with out discrimination. We favor tho enactment of more strin gent usury laws and their rigid enforce ment under severe penalties. Republican Representative Convention. The republicans of the Twenty-fifth representative district, comprising the counties of Platte and Nance, are called to meet in convention at Genoa, Neb., on Saturday, Aug. 39, at 3 o'clock p. in., for the purpose of placing in nomination a candidate for representative, and to transact such other business as may come before the convention.

The republican and people's independ ent candidate for county attorney was Inirn in Clearfield county, Pennsylvania, DeciiS. 1ST.G. His father being engaged in the lum ber business, this was also the occupa tion of young Albert until ho was nine teen years old, sit which time he came west, attending tho Western college at Toledo, la., of which his uncle, E. B. Kephart, was president, and of which he is a graduate. Under tho direction of Hon. F. C. Hormel, a prominent attorney of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he studied law, and was admit texl to practice in Plymouth coun ty. He practiced in Iowa courts till 18S0, when he came to Albion, Neb., where he had an extensive practice until last fall, when health failed him, and he spent the winter months on tho Pacific coast. Early last spring he returned to Nebraska, and with J. D. Stires, esq., opened a law office in this city. By his acquaintances here Mr. Albert is regarded as a young man of excep tionally good ability, a bright lawyer, and one who will bo a credit to himself and an honor to tho jiolitieal parties which have selected him as their candi date for tho important office of county attornev. ACTINOMYCOSIS. Lumpy .law Proven to be a Cont.iirjous Dieae. There are people who think it profit able to keep, to kill and to eat tho flesh of lumpy jawed cattle. Tho following paragraph clipped from a Chicago tele gram of August 15) may bo of some in terest to those who would thus take chances on their lives: "Experiments have just been conclud ed in this city that will bo of tho great est importance to tho packing industry and to veterinarians, many of whom have hitherto thought that actinomyco sis, or lumpy jaw, was not a contagious disease and that the meat of cattle afliietod by it was not injurious. Mem bers of tho live stock boards of several states have superintended tho killing of a number of cattle ufliicted with lumpy jaw and eximined the bodies. A week ago fifty-five were killed and esterdav thirtv-four more. Tho object was to ascertain to what extent the dis easo affected the entire system so as to make tho meat of such cattle unfit for food. The result of the examination was that in alout IK) per cent of tho cases in vestigated the disease was observed to have affected the internal organs and the flesh. Mr. Armstrong of the United States bureau of animal industry was among the distinguished experts present, Drs. Paquin and Grange, ex pert microscopists, took a number of specimens for examination and for ex periments in inoculation. They expect to corrolorato what has been said by German and French scientists -that lumpy jaw is a contagious disejise." Once in a while tho opposition do get up something worthy of a passing thought, as for instance. The republi can convention of Douglas county con cluded to let Mr. Council name the con gressional delegation, and he left the matter to John B. Furay, who gathered his number from all the factions, so that there might le harmony. Tho Omaha World-Herald represents Furay, under the figure of a Dr. and gets up a card for him as follows -the inter-commingling of the names E. Rosewater and Paul Vandevoort (mortal enemies), is a "cau tion to snakes," and a fine piece of art: : DU. JOHN It. FUKAY, ; (iraduate of Walter Q.

Free clinic at Plattsmouth, September 30. N. B. Don't monkey with the buzz saw, as the doctor brings alout harmony though tlie heavens fall. The Fremont Tribune epitomizes as follows the successful career of Hon. L. D. Richards, republican candidate for governor of Nebraska: A success as a boy soldier. A success as a farm hand. A success as a helper on a pile driver. A success as a homesteader. A success as a civil engineer. A success as mayor of Fremont. A success as chairman of the republi can state central committee. Asuccess as an upright, enterprising business man. And now he will be A success as governor of Nebraska. He is made of the heroic clay which guarantees success in everything he takes hold of. The Farmer and the Laborer. The farmers' alliance of Nebraska has resolved that ''eight hours make a long enough day's labor for any class of workingmen except farm hands." Why was the discrimination made against farm hands? Do they not work as hard as any other class of laborers? Are they not entitled to the same privileges as others? Do they not deserve and need the same opportunities for recreation, reading and self-improvement? It may indeed be urged that the exception was made on the ground of necessity. When grain is ripe it must be harvested. When it is in good condition it mu6t be housed or stacked or it will be ruined by rain. These works cannot always be done in time, working eight hours a day. But similar exigencies arise with man ufacturers and contractors. It often becomes impossible for them to keep their engagements unless their employes will work more than eight hours a day. Their threatened losses are as great as those that would be caused to the farm er by the destruction of his crops. If they should pay extra wages for extra hours beyond eight, why should not the farmer? In tho pleas for shorter hours for labor nothing has ever been said for the farm hand. Yet ho is the greatest sufferer of till. Ho seldom knows intermission of toil from sunrise till dark. A twelve hours' working day would be a reliof to him. and a ten hours' working day a boon and a joy. Yet nothing is ever said iu his behalf. Is it because tho farm hands are not organized, and thus cannot compel attention and considera tion by the p6wer of a solid vote? In tho Nebraska case was the farm hand discriminated against because the memlers of the alliance are the ones that employ him? Can wo believe that self interest is exerting its baleful influ ence to so great an extent over the phi lanthropic and reforming alliance? It is certainly time that the farm hand made himself heard in assertion of his equal rights with other workmen. Den ver Times. Probably Fatally Injured. While a lot of men were selling up a hay stacker this morning on the Gibson farm near tho bluffs on the Broad street road a severe accident befell Castier Gralier, of this city. When tho stacker was nearly up it commenced to fall over and Mr. Graber tried his lest to prevent it, and did not give up tho task until it was too late for him to get out of the way of the falling stacker. The beam timbers fell upon his shoulders and crushed him to the ground, striking him across the shoulders and small of the neck, where he sustained most of his injuries. His hands are rendered power less by the severe crushing of his muscles. The accident will prove ser ious if not fatal. Dr. Smith has great hopes of his recovery, as the man is ro bust and liable to pull through. The other men in the field came to the aid of the injured man as soon as possible and removed him to his home. Fre mont Flail. IhirseyVi letter. About five hundred of Dodge county's most prominent republicans (so says the Flail) forwarded a petition to Mr. Dor sey, asking him to stand as a candidate for re-election. His reply is as follows: Washington, D. C, Aug. 11), 1890. Arthur Truesdell, E. Shurman and G. W. Hyatt, committee. Petitions from so large a number of influential republicans in Dodge county, asking me to announce myself a candi date for re-election affects me most sensibly. If it is the desire of tho re publicans of the Third drstrict, assem bled in convention, that I should con tinuo my work here, I would accept the nomination. However, if the party would bo strengthened by the nomina tion of somo other man, I will most williugly and gladly labor for his elec tion with that of the entire state ticket Harmony in our ranks is essential, and no man's ambition or prejudice must be allowed to stand in the way of success in November. G. W. E. Dorsey. Nebraska Out of Debt. Washington special: The showing made by tho census rejiort issued by Superintendent Porter is tho subject of congratulation on the part of every Ne braskan who litis seen it. It shows that Nebraska is absolutely without a debt. Ten years ago Nebraska had a bonded debt of STiOO.OOO. Today her Ixinded debt and floating debt are represented by blank spaces in the table of indebt edness with a letter "A," which refers to a foot note indicating "No debt." Only one other state in the entire list is in this happy condition; that one state is West Virginia. There aro half a dozen with no bonded debt, but they have floating bills, and there are several with no floating debt but with a bonded debt. But when you combine both these happy conditions Nebraska and West Virginia stand alone. Iowa has no lxmded debt, but her floating debt is 284,823. Tin: meeting called on Saturday night by Mr. Richards was to get an expres sion of the county delegates from this city as to their position on the contro versy between himself and Mr. Dorsey. The delegates were mostly present and a few who wero not delegates were pres ent on invitation. It is understood that under the influence of their chosen lead er, all expressed themselves as ready for a fight to prevent Mr. Dorsey from tak ing the delegation from this county with three exceptions. It wtis decided, however, to await the public announce ment by Mr. Dorsey that he is a candi date. Then the battle will open all along the line. Fremont Flail. Yes, he was Railroad Richards. He worked on a pile driver in building rail road bridges and rapidly rose to the po sition of superintendent of construction and roadmaster. He was a hard work ing, reliable and conscientious employe and his employers were not slow to rec ognize it But that was twenty years ago. He is now simply L. D. Richards, owned and controlled by no influence or power save a desire on his part to see that equality and justice are promoted among all interests and that the greatest good is done to the largest number. He will do right as God gives him to see the right. Fremont Tribune. Ox last Saturday evening an elderly Hooper man boarded an Elkhorn train at Fremont, and look a seat in a rear car. Just before the train started a young man accosted the Hooper man and advided him to take the next coach as the one they were in was to be drop ped. Accordingly the unsuspecting old gentleman started for the next car, the young man following him. When the platform was reached tho gentleman from Hooper was seized and jostled by three men, and in less than half a min ute his pocket book was gone and eo were the men. The pocketbook contained S38. West Point Republican. The Knox County Democrat says: "Just as we were going to press we re ceived the following special: Democrat ic state convention nominated J. E. Boyd for governor and Dr. Bear of Nor folk, for lieutenant governor. Wo de sire to say as an old soldier and G. A. R man, that as between Boyd and Richards tho Democrat's gentle voice will be heard for L. D. Richards. As between Bear, the ex-confederate surgeon, and gallant old Tom Majors, the bravo union soldier, the Democrat will sup port Majors." Senator Van- Wyck, nominated by the alliance in this district, was not a democrat, neither was O. M. Kem, nom inated in the Third district, a democrat, so in both these districts tho democrats had no uso for them. In tho Second district, however, McKeighan, the alli ance nominee, is a democrat and that party proposes to endorse him with a whoop and a hurrah. This is the ex tent of tho use tho democratic party has for the alliance sind republican alliance men should think of it several times be fore election. Lincoln Call. This is the way another democrat looks at it: "The Dorsey democrats along tho U. P. railroad went into the congressional convention at Columbus organized to defeat any indorsement of O. M. Kem, thus, as they thought, to make machino politics defeat tho people. But it will result in the reverse. Tho democrats who were in favor of indorse ment will vote for Kem just tho same. We have interviewed a numlier of demo crats and find they do not propose to be captured by a corrupt machine to work their ruin in the end." Madison Re porter. Tun Fremont Tribune expresses the opinion that "it was a mistake of the re publican congressional central commit tee to vote down a recommendation against proxies," and the Tribune is eminently correct. The provy system litis been misused so much that it savors more of bargain and sale than of fair representation of political sentiment, and therefore is recognized by the peo plo generally as tho special feature of machine politics that needs to lo wiped out. John Ckaiu suggests a good idea which we hope will be followed out by our farmers. It is this: So many of the farriers in the western part of the state have lost their corn crops by reason of the drouth. This is also true of farmers in other states. Next year seed corn will bo scarce. Now let our farmers save all the seed corn they can and le ready to help their needy brethren out next spring. Wo urge our farmer read ers to act upon this advice ami save plenty. Schuyler Quill. There is plenty of chivalry still exist ing in tho hearts of men and it is not associated with good clothes and big bank accounts. W. II. Miller, who was recently elected janitor of the Fort Omaha school, last night resigned in favor of tho widow who now holds tho position and who supports a family with tho salary derived from it. Such an act of generosity is rare and the man who is capable of such usefulness ought not bo long without a remunerative position. Omaha World-Herald. Pearl, the seven-years-old daughter of M. Solomon of Omaha, was so badly burned last Tuesday, while trying to light the fire for dinner, that she died the same evening. Aftor her clothing caught firo she ran into tho yard, yell ing, which brought some neighbor wo men. They wero dolayed getting to the child by a vicious watch-dog, and to this delay, is attributed tho death of tho child. The Sioux City Journal suggests for that city the telephone charges aro ex ceptionally exorbitant and ought to be scaled down, and that when any tele phone or similar company is given a right to do business in Sioux City, or whenever its franchiso is extended, it should bo on tho oxplicit condition that the city may regulate all charges that may 1 mado on the public. The amazing cheek which enables Editor Hammond to assert incessantly that it is Mr. Dorsey who is making tho fight reminds one of the old Quaker whose wife caught him kissing the hired girl, whereuKn he said with dignified severity, "Hannah, if thee does not quit peepin', thee will cause a fuss in tho family." - Fremont Flail. The alliance picked up a democrat for congress in the Second district. With characteristic gratitude the democrats spurned tho alliance man in the Third district. All of which goes to show that the democrats are enthusiastically in favor of the farmers when the farmers will consent to boost democrats into office. Omaha Bee. EDITORIAL NOTES. Chauncey M. Depew can probably never lie elected president. Billy O'Brien, ono of tho men who murdered David Moore of Omaha and who, Kate Ford swears, struck tho fatal blow, is on trial at Ottawa, 111. Rev. D. A. Smith, a Methodist minis ter, and Mrs. Lee Fahlan of Chun Falls, Wis., eloped together one day last week, setting out for South Dakota. He is 02, she 22. TnE Grand Island Independent (rep.) thinks that the election of Wahlquist as auditor is as good as assured, and that it is not at all improbable that Higgins may be elected. Gcs Tiarson was killed by a fall of rock at the Iron Mountain stone quarry Cheyenne, Wyo., 'Wednesday. He was engaged in loosening the mass when it was precipitated upon him. C. F. Hammond of Lincoln outraged his own daughter, Maud, last week; she is 13 years old. Life imprisonment is the punishment, and there seems no donbt but it will be given him. A dispatch from Duluth one day last week says: "A five-foot vein of native silver at a depth of forty-two feet has been discovered in the ancient Taltec works above Duluth. It is fabulously rich." By an explosion in the McCracklin coal mine at Farmerslmrg, Ind., Thurs day, Emory McCracklin wsis killed and Frank McCraqklin fatally burned. An other operator is still in the mine and is thought to be dead. The republican and independent can didate for county attorney, I. L. Albert, is quietly attending to business, and is winning votes all the time. He will make an excellent legal advisor to the county officials. Arthur Weeks, a U. P. switchman in the yards at Council Bluffs, met a hor rible death Tuesday of last week; his foot caught, and a wheel went slowly over his leg from ankle to hip. He died the same evening. M. Diebler, the official executioner of France, has, either as chief or assistant, attended 300 cases. He don't like to cut the heads off women, he says "they cry so much, kick up such a noise, and give themselves such airs," A. H. Snyder was in the city last week and had his hay baler loaded for shipment to Whiting, la., whero he says hay is not so high. He has sold forty two of his Lightning hay presses this year. Al is a rustler in what ever he takes hold of. Schuyler Quill. The Bee gives a graphic account of an eye and ear surgeon in Omaha who di vides up with the local jewelers who send him customers. During the past year he has had sixty-three cases, and has returned to the senders of such cases, $955.43 as their share of the profits, per his agreement. Judge Groff is giving the best of satisfaction to the country in his man agement of the general land-office. The settler on tho public lands who honestly tries to fulfill tho law in every particular need not bo afraid of land sharks, who seek by hook or crook to get his land away from him. The Nebraska democrats denounce tho republican party for "its gifts of more than 195,000,000 acres of the public dominion to railroad corporations," for getting that said policy was originated by Stephen A. Douglas, and that all such gifts were voted for by democrats as well as republicans. Albion Nows. It is not generally known that the panorama of tho battle of Gettysburg is to bo seen in connection with the sugar beet exposition at Grand Island one ticket admitting to both. This will be si rare chance to see this world renown ed painting and will lie of special inter est to the "boys who wore the blue" at tending tho reunion. Washington Letter. From our regular corresimndent.l Tho president just now occupies a po sition that cannot fail to tax the good sense which he has time after time shown himself to bo largely endowed with. It is to him that the rank and file of tho republican party look for a settlement of the unfortunate differ ences of opinion that has arisen among tho republican senators. Senator Quay seems determined to get his resolution confining the legislation of the present session to the tariff bill; tho appropria tion bills and bills affecting public buildings and grounds before the senate. His resolution when first offered last week wsis referred to the committee on rules, as well as an amendment offered by Senator Hoare to include the federal election bill in the legislation of the session. A caucus has since been held; but nothing was done except to discuss the situation and by a vote of 18 to 17 refused to endorse Senator Hoar's amendment. Saturday afternoon Senator Quay, without waiting on the committee on rules to report, asked unanimous con sent to offer the same resolution, which also provides for taking a final vote on tho tariff bill on August 30, but Senator Edmunds objected, the matter went over and Mr. Quay gave notico that he would this week offer tho same resolu tion and insist on its consideration. It is expected that the southern senators will support Mr. Quay's resolution, in fact it is charged that it is the result of a bar gain with them this I do not believe becauso it will prevent action upon the federal election bill. Meanwhile Senator Hoar, who is lead ing those who favor the passing of both tariff and federal election bills, is by no means idle. Telegrams to absent re publican senators havo been sent urging them to return at once, and it is not possible that another caucus will be held before tho matter is finally settled and if a full attendance can be secured it is probablo that Mr. Quay's resolution may bo defeated, but if he can get it voted uKn by the senate before the caucus meets, and the democrats sup port him, it will be adopted. Tho Louisiana lottery lobby is solidly in favor of tho Quay resolution because it will prevent the passago by the sen ate of the rigorous anti-lottery bill, which the house on Saturday took up and passed; numerous other lobbyists representing interests that will lie more or less damaged by legislation, which was already passed the house, aro add ing their influence toward getting the Quay resolution adopted by the senate. Speaker Reed, while deeply regretting the turn things have taken in the sen ate, will do nothing to prolong the ses sion in order to force the senate to act on the federal election bill. Ue says the house has done its duty and if the senate refuses to do likewise let its members answer for it to their constitu ents. The president has so far taken no side in the dispute though it is pretty well known thai he favors the federal elec tion bill, and its friends are trying to get him to do something to help them, while its opponents are equally as per sistent in asking him to keep his hands off. Mr. Quay and nearly every republi can who is expected to vote for his reso lution, say that they favor the election bill, but believe it to be impossible to pass both it and the tariff bill at this session, and they regard the tariff bill as the most important. The senate devoted Friday and Satur day to a discussion of the river and har bor bill which was passed. It contain ed many important amendments. The house had a time last week on ac count of the absence of a quorum about half the time. The prospect now is that the attendance this week will be larger and the delays fewer. It is good news to active republicans to know that Assistant Postmaster Gen-1 eral Clarkson, whose right to be called J a political hustler has been folly proven. is, after September 1, when he resigns his present office, to take an active part in the management of the republican congressional campaign committee. That committee has elected represent ative Carter of Montaaa, secretary, and Edward C. O'Brien of New York, at present disbursing clerk of the house, treasurer. The committee proposes to make a winning fight. Secretary Windom has issued orders that the prices paid for silver, under the new law, shall be made public on the days of purchase. This spoiled a lot of democratic thunder. Senator Plumb has offered an amend ment to the tin plate schedule of the tariff bill, which is now being debated, to allow the duty on tin plate to remain as at present and to give a bounty of 1 cent a pound on tin plate manufactured in the United States. PaleHtiae. We are having a delightful rain this (Saturday) morning which will help fall plowing. Some of our neighbors com menced plowing and had to stop. But it is not good for haying or for camp meeting. Quite a number are present at the grove. Mr. Berlin is working on Frank Lar son's house. Mr. Abrahamson is ready to plaster his house. Whooping cough is in the next neigh borhood at Fairview, among the older people as well as the children. The stove peddler sold Mr. McNabb a 6tove for 860 and Fred Swarty's one of the same kind for $08. Martha Hanchett is home again from a six weeks' absence at Lexington, Daw son county, and tho institute at Co lumbus. W. F. Hanchett is able to walk out of doors in pleasant weather. Mrs. John Anderson expects to visit in Polk county for two weeks. Mr. An derson will attend the reunion at Grand Island, as will several of our "soldier boys" in tho vicinity. Father Berlin was taken quite sick Friday night, and for a little while suffered very much. He is better. Ho has heart disease. A meeting will be held at Palestine school-house Tuesday evening, Sept. 2d, for the purpose of arranging for a ceme tery in the vicinity of the Baptist church. AH interested in this cemetery will please come without fail. We have just been told that Ellis Brooks of Kansas and Miss Lizzie Clark of Mt. Pleasant were married a few days ago.

Mr. Frank Huffman, a young man of Burlington, O., states that he had been under the care of two prominent physi cians, and used their treatment until he was not able to get around. They pro nounced his case to be consumption and incurable.

Because it is the shortest route and makes the best time. In a recent article in the Youth's Com panion, on "how to cure a cold," the writer advises a hot lemonade to be tak et at bed time. It is a dangerous treat ment, especially during the severe cold weather of the winter months, as it opens the pores of the skin and leaves the sys tem in such a condition that another and much more severe cold is almost certain to be contracted. Many years constant use and the experience of thousands of persons of all ages, has fully demonstrat ed that there is nothing better for a severe cold than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It acts in perfect harmony with nature, relieves the lungs, liquefies the tough tenacious mucous, making it easier to expectorate, and restores the system to a strong and healthy condi tion.
