The tide seems to be turning ir the race’s favor. May the good work go on. pn taney As we predicted ior to the elec- tion, Senator Hanna’s political activ- ity, again cased the loss of this (his home) county. The slemocrats secured seven of the twelve ‘county officers represented on the ticket and not a Hanna “republican” «andidate was successful. The five winners were neutral or anti-Hanna. The head of the democratic state tticket also carried this (Cuyahoga) ‘county, which is normally republican dy 14,000. “All on account of Hanna.” * Gen, Marcus J. Wright, of the war department (at Washington), who is visiting in Memphis, Tenn., has issued a statement in which he claims that Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter, Alice, did not eat at the same table with Booker T, Washington and the president at that famous dinner ‘in the hier House, ‘but that the presi- lent-and Booker had their meals sent to them in the former's private office, where they were continuing a three or four-hour conversation. Gen. Wright's communication to the newspapers has the “earamarks” of an authprative statement. . How about it, “Brer’: Washington? So the “lily-white republican” seal- awags of the south turn their eyes and hopes northward, to Hanna—the ‘one man of prominence left in this section of the country since McKin- ley’s death, who gave them: encour- agement and aid during his political reign under (or over) the lamented president's administrations. Well, ‘well, well!

So far os the president then is concerned, the matter is settled, and it remains awith the race to afford our executive ‘that encouragement and support due @ brave and honest man.

Sateen ATTORNEY GENERAL BELDEN BRINGS TO BOOK THE “LILY WHITES.” Orleans, a leading white sepublican, speaks out in scathing terms against the conduet of the “ully whites” in their niggard attempt to eliminate Afro-Americans from state and na- tional politics. Mr. Belden was at one time attorney. general during the ad- ministration of Gov. Warmoth, from 1868 to 1872. He is a white republican in its truest sense and exposes the narrow and selfish motives actuating ‘this class of politicians to wage a fight so mean and villainous against Afro-Americans. He denounces their Purpose to gain leadership and pres- tage by advocating the ostracism of white republicans known as such at the time of the organization of the re- publican party. But the avhole affair appears the more ridiculous when it ‘is borne in mind that these political sycophants are secking favor from the party against which they stand opposed. ‘They seem to have no higher aspiration and no further in- terest to subserve than that of mak- ing” fight upon Afro-Americans. Hence they place themselves against the progressive principles of Ameri- can justice and seek to defeat the very ends of free government. In their mad endeavor, they wield an effort to foster that deadly feeling of prejudice which has been the bane and fruit of the black man’s woes. Mr. Belden touches a vital issue in the conclusion he reaches that these “lilly white” dudes have taken a po- sition altogether contrary to the fundamental doctrine of our consti- tution and in direct violation of the principles of the republican party. ae very well suggests to the better judgment of these deluded men to or- ganize a party of their own than be- come the butt of ridicule cv tue eoun- try at large. He further insists that although going as delegates to the last national convention, it was evi- dent to all true republicans that they were recognized under false repre- sentations. Among them there ap- peared one Afro-American designed to quiet the appreshensions of the convention as to the genuineness of their republicanism. But 1. was manifest to not a few of the dele- gates that a rather spurious set had secured admission as delegates, but not as the representatives of a re- publican constituency. They are now well known and will be so well known at another national conven- tion as to make their admission not so possible as in the past. With ideas and practices so repugnant to the declarations of the fathers and the principles of republicanism, it will be difficult to name an organiza- tion of, the kind ever “before known to the people. With no compunetion of conscience or show of magnanim- ity, they engaged fn a pusillanimous fight against the rights of a harmless and defenseless class of citizens whose rights are as good as theirs. Well does the writer ask: “What must fair-minded men think of those republicans who have held places of honor and emoluments _ solely through the votes of colored citizens and who at this late day abandon them, prove their base treachery by such a foul and wicked betrayal?” It belongs to the superior race to teach the lesson of gratitude, of magnanimity and justice to ail men. ‘Is not such. a betrayal a travesty upon that magnanimity and justice, which the avhite man would teach his brother in black? A new depar- ture, ‘tis true, but one singularly strange in the light of past history. A few more fair-minded, fearless and out-spoken men like Gen. Belden might at least bring these wayward “lillies” to a sense of their duty. K. OF P'S. RECEPTION.

C., Congressional District—Hot Shot for Capers, Hanna and the ‘Lily Whites” — The State Democratic Party De- nounced and tho Policy of tho United States in the Philippines Declared to be “‘a Disgrace to Civilization” Florence, S. C.—The following reso- lutions adopted by the Afro-American republicans of this congressional dis- triet may be of interest: We, the republicans of the Sixth songressional district of Souta Caro- lina, in convention assembled at Flor- ence, 8. C., this 26th day of October, 1902, make the following declaration of principles: 1, We repudiate and denounce the appointment by Senator M. A, Hanna of John G. Capers as national com- mitteeman for South -arolina as a most contemptible and monstrous outrage, the said Capers not being a citizen or resident of ..e state when so @ppointed. He is an alien to repub- liean politics in South Carolina and his selection was contrary to all pre- cedent of any kind and all political parties in this country, and opposed to reason, justice and decency, and a travesty upon practical polities. Under the administration, or rather ‘usurpation, of John G. Capers repub- licans of acknowledged ability and ex- perience have been removed without cause and their positions filled vy the worst type of democrats, as in the ‘cases of the postomees at Laurens, ‘Newberry, Greenwood, Abbeville, Greenville, Sumter, Georgetown, Cam- den and elsewhere, 2, We hereby recommend the po- litical course of the Hon. E. a. Deas, state chairman of tae republican party of South Carolina, especially his opposition to the confirmation of George R. Koester as collector of in- ternal revenue for the district of South Carolina, which ‘resulted in his defeat, His untiring effort against “Lilly Whiteism” establishing itself in South Carolina is equally commen¢- able. 3. We denounce the democratic party of South Carolina for their in- Iquitous and fraudulent election laws, by which a majority of the voters of this state are deprived of the right of suffrage, and we demand such legisla- tion by the congress of the United States as will remove this foul blot upon our boasted cirilization. 4. We denounce and deplore the frequent and inerensing murders of defenceless Negroes by bands ot cow- ards styling themselves lynchers, and we demand that the courts and ndt bloodthirsty mobs shall punisu those charged with crime. 5. We denounce the contemptible legislation which foisted the “Jim Grow car” iniquity upon our people as an outrage against common sense and decency, and we demand that con. ductors in charge of trains shall be required to restrict whisky-drinking white ruffians and all others to the cars prescribed for their occupancy. 6. We denounce the unjust and op- pressive discrimination against Ne groes in courts of justice and demand the equal protection of the laws, state and national. 7. We denounce the policy of the United States in the Philippine Isl- ands as a disgrace to civilization, be- ing even worse than the Spanish hor- rors under Weyler in the island of Cuba, and we demand that licensed robbery, rapine and murder in the Philippines shall cease. 8, We hereby extend our heartfelt thanks to United States Senators George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, and William E. Mason, of Ilinois, for the noble and manly fight they have made against the Philippine abomina- tion and for their patriotic course in ‘defence of these unfortunate and -down-trodden people. | 9. We hail with joy the refusal af the Danish parliament to ratify the treaty ceding the Danish West Indles to the United States, for their people ‘being mostly Negroes, would soon be ‘deprived of their rights and treated like the Porto Ricans, as aliens or serfs. 10. We are tinqualifiedly opposed to bringing under the jurisdiction of the United States any teritory whose population consists largely of Ne- groes until the status of the Negroes already under such jurisdiction is more favorably defined and their just participation in the affairs of this government is practically assured. “Lily White Republicans” of South Displeased With Roosevelt. Chattanooga, Tenn.—The fool white republicans of the south, and especi- aily of North Carolina and Alabama, are displeased with the position Pres- ident Roosevelt has taken in removing prominent white federal officials in the south, on account of their activ- ity in the attempt to force Afro- amnreos out of the republican par- ty in that section of the country. They are still making tue silly and foolish claim that, under the leader- ship of Senator Pricaard and Thos Settle, it is only a matter of a very short time until North Carolina will be solidly republican and the party will be managed and composed of white men of the highest character and standing. Nothing could oe more ridiculous than this “claim,” and they know it. Senator Hanna and President McKinley favored and en- couraged “lily-white ism,” and nowy that President Roosevelt —as given the thing a black eye, they look te Hanna for aid and comfort and en- couragement.

Prevident Palme Threatened to Ins tervene Unless Order Was Restored —Police Then Charged the Mob— ‘Trafic on Car Lines Resumed, Havana, Nov. 25.—As the result of conflicts of a serious nature yester- day between the police and the men on strike here, two strikers are dead and 32 other persons are wounded. Five of the wounded, one a lieutenant of police, whose throat was cut by a striker, have very severe injuries. Eight other policemen are wounded. The police had the rioters well under control last evening but every pre- caution is being taken to prevent a further outbreak of disorder and ali the police and rural guards in the suburbs have been summoned to con- centrate, in Havana. The strike, which at first only con- cerned the cigar workers, became gen- eral yesterday morning by the call- ing out of all trades in sympathy with tthe cigar makers. All the trades peo- | ple closed their doors this morning, | clerks, cooks and every class of work: | men having obeyed the command of the union except the motormen and | conductors of the electric cars, who refused to join in the general strike. “Trouble began early by the holding up of the electric cars by the strikers, whose wrath naturally was directed | against the street railway employes. Several cars were held up and stoned | in the outskirts of the elty and the | passengers were compelled to walk into Havana, among these being the | British and German ministers. Sev- | eral cars were wrecked and some mo- | tormen and conductors were injured during these occurrences, The car- men, however, continued running their cars until 10 o'clock, when Su- perintendent Greenwood ordered @ suspension of traffic. The mayor of Havana and the sec- retary of government, Dieg Tamayo, | had during the past week openly sym- |pathized with the strikers and had | given orders to tise police not to use | force in dispersing. the crowds and, under these conditions the police were unable to cope with the strikers. President Palma sent word to the mayor that unless the city authorities | could preserve order and protect the railroad company, the state would in- | tervene, The mayor then took dras- | tie measures and issued an edict pro- | hibiting crowds from gathering in the | streets and authorizing the chief of | police to kill, if such action should | be necessary to preserve order. | A similar shew of force early in the morning undoubtedly would have pre- | vented the trouble, but now the strik- jers had become emboldened and fre- | quent clashes between them and the police occurred in all parts of the city. |The police were obliged to charge a | mob of rioters at the slaughter house | and several among the latter were in- |jured. The vigorous attitude of the | police now made itself felt and traffic | on the car lines, which had only been suspended for a brief period, was re- sumed and was continued from this time forth with only occasional inter- ruptions, Most of fne injuries sus- tained by the strikers were caused by the policemen’s clubs. Havana, Nov, 26—The Central La- bor union last night decided to call low the strike, and committees were |appointed to inform the various un- |ions of this decision, There proba- | bly will be a complete resumption of work to-day. Much of the credit for the settle- ment of the strike is due to Gen. /Gomez, who headed the commission which consulted yesterday the offi- clals of the Havana Commercial Co., against whom the strike was first di- rected. After the conference Gen. Gomez and the majority of the com- mittee expressed themselves as sat- isfied at the stand that the company had taken, The officials maintained | that they had not discriminated |against Cuban apprentices, the fact | being that the company's books | showed that over 90 per cent, of its | apprentices were Cubans. The com- ‘pany would maintain and even in- |erease this ratio but it refused to |treat with the Central Labor union in matters pertaining to its employes. |The officials said that they always were willing to meet a committee made up of workers from their fac- tories and they agreed to open the factories again if the men returned to work. Gen. Gomez an@ the committee afterwards met the Central Labor union and the old warrior did’ not spare words in his condemnation of | the action of the union in calling ont the workmen. He said it was a revo- lution and not a strike and that the war veterans stood ready to take up arms in support of the government in order to maintain order. That | ended the strike as far as the Central [Labor union was concerned. Boston, Nov. 26.—As a penalty for swindling Meyer Cohan, of this city, out of $6,000 by means of a gold brick game more than a year ago, Samuel Brotzki, 66 years of age, who claims a residence in New York, was sen- tenced yesterday to state prison for not less than four, nor more than seven years, Freight Kates Too Low. Chicago, Nov. 25.—“Railroad freight rates are lower than they ought to be under the new scale of wages and the present cost of supplies and materials which railroads have been obliged to pay owing to the great prosperity of the country.” Paul Morton, second vice president of the Santa Fe made this statement yesterday and fol- lowed it up by declaring that a cam- paign was about to be started with a view to raising all freight rates in tertitory west of Chicago to the Pa- cific coast.

The Case of a Crooked Leg Which Was Successfully Handled by William McKinley. A year or two after William McKinley had begun the practice of law at Canton, O., he distinguished himself in a humorous fashion in one of his first successful cases. As often happens in court, the humor was not merely for the sake of the joke, but for serious purpose. Mr. Edward T. Roe, in "The Life Work of William McKinley," tells the story: The case was a suit against a surgeon, whom the plaintiff charged with having set his leg so badly that it was bowed. McKinley defended the surgeon, and found himself pitted against John McSweeney, one of the most brilliant lawyers of the Ohio bar. McSweeney brought his client into court, and had him expose the injured limb to the jury. It was very crooked, and the case looked bad for the surgeon. But McKinley had both his eyes open, as usual, and fixed them keenly on the man's other leg. As soon as the plaintiff was turned over to him, he asked that the other leg should also be bared. The plaintiff and McSweeney objected vigorously, but the judge ordered it done. Then it appeared that his second leg was still more crooked than that which the surgeon had set. "My client seems to have done better by this man than nature itself did," said McKinley, "and I move that the suit be dismissed, with a recommendation to the plaintiff that he have the other leg broken and then set by the surgeon who set the first one." Couldn't Help It.—"Did you ever take an oath?" asked the judge. "Wance only, y'ur honor," replied the witness.

Receipts For Year 1903 Will Aggregate $220,000,000—1,094 Illicit Stills Were Destroyed and 1-036Persons Arrested for Violations of Revenue Laws. Washington, Nov. 26.—John W. Yerkes, the commissioner of internal revenue, in his report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902, says that by the two acts abolishing the war revenue taxes internal revenue taxes have been reduced about $100,000,000. There has been, however, an increase of revenue from taxes laid on distilled spirits and other objects that were not affected by war revenue legislation. The receipts of the bureau for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1901, were $306,871,669, and for the lscal year ended June 30, 1902, $271,867,990. By an act of congress of date June 27, 1902, provision was made for the refunding of taxes paid upon legacies and bequests for uses of a religious, charitable, or educational character, for the encouragement of art, etc., under the act of June 13, 1898. Refunding claims on this account amounting to some $435,000 have been allowed already and it is believed that the total amount that will be refunded under this law will amount to some $540,000. Congress, having provided for the payment of a rebate on all original and unbroken factory packages of smoking and manufactured tobacco and snuff and cigars, held by manufacturers or dealers on the first of July, 1901, 49,364 claims have been paid, the rebates being $3,108,511. In addition to the claims for refund or rebate presented there have been filed during the fiscal year 1902, 4,743 claims for abatement of taxes assessed. Of these 3,857 were allowed, amounting to $4,187,681 and 440 claims, amounting to $449,284, were rejected or returned for amendment. In 1902, the total production of spirits was 128,568,201 gallons, in 1902 132,843,802 gallons. In 1901, in round numbers 100,000,000 gallons of tax-paid spirits were withdrawn; in 1902 104,000,000. The percentage of cost of collection for the fiscal year is $1.70, an increase of 15 cents on each $100 in the percentage of cost of collection as compared with the preceding fiscal year. It is estimated that the receipts for all sources of internal revenue for the current fiscal year 1903, will aggregate $220,000,000. The statement of receipts for the months of July, August and September, 1902, would appear to indicate that the receipts for the year will be largely in excess of the above estimate but these receipts are regarded as abnormal. The report shows that during the year revenue agents seized and destroyed 1,094 illicit stills and arrested 1,036 persons for violations of the revenue laws. During that time one agent was killed in a raid and two were wounded. One hundred and sixteen registered distilleries were reported for seizure during the year, 68,117 gallons of spirits were reported for seizure, the total value of the property involved being $153,894. AN AGREEMENT. It Has Been Entered Into Between Three Window Glass Companies and the Jobbers Association. Muncie, Ind., Nov. 26.—An agreement has been reached by the American Window Glass Co., the Federation Window Glass Co. and the Independent Window Glass Co. on one side, and the American Window Glass Jobbers' association on the other, whereby the jobbers agree to take of the window glass combination not less than 450,000 boxes of glass each month for six months, the price to remain the same for the first two months and to be increased slightly each month thereafter, until the term of the contract shall expire. The amount of increase each month is to be determined by future agreements between the jobbers and the manufacturing companies. This monthly sale will not take up all the product of the factories, but will leave a large surplus in the hands of the manufacturers. The three window glass companies control 3,019 pots, but a shortage of workmen and fuel prevents the operation of part of this capacity. COMMERCE COMMISSION. Report on Income Account of Railways in United States for the Year Washington, Nov. 26.—The preliminary report of the interstate commerce commission on the income account of railways in the United States for the year ended June 20, last, contains returns of railway companies operating 195,945 miles of linc, or probably 98 per cent. of the total railway mileage of the United States. The passenger earnings of these railways were $472,429,165, and the freight earnings $1,200,884,603. Including these and other earnings from operation, gross earnings amounted to $1,711,754,200 or $8,736 per mile of line, and operating expenses $1,106,137,405, or $5,645 per mile of line, showing that the net earnings were $605,616,795, or $3,091 per mile. The net earnings were $51,395,421 greater than during the previous year. Supreme Court Decisions Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 26.—The supreme court decided yesterday that the act of 1890, by which employers are required to pay wages every week, and all assignments of future wages are declared void, is constitutional, at least as to the latter provision. The same court held that the law against "pluck-me" stores passed by the legislature of 1901, is invalid. It prohibits the assignment of wages that have already been earned in exchange for tokens payable otherwise than in lawful money of the United States. Negroes to be Sold.

He was considered one of the best coin experts in the country. He was 57 years old. Interview at Washington Terminates Suddenly. Mine Owners Refuse To Grant Interview to President Mitchell-Independent Mine Owners Protest Against Treating Directly With the Miners. Washington, Nov. 26.—All prospects for an understanding between United Mine Workers and the coal operators, outside the anthracite coal strike commission, came to a sudden termination late yesterday afternoon through the receipt of a dispatch to Mr. Wayne MacVeagh, representing the Pennsylvania Coal Co., and the Hillside Coal and Iron Co., notifying him that at a meeting of the anthracite coal road men in New York yesterday, it had been determined not to grant an interview to Mr. Mitchell and his associates, which had been suggested for Friday next. The announcement, coming as it did, after an all-day's conference in this city between Mr. MacVeagh and Mr. Mitchell and his associates, attended part of the time by Carroll D. Wright, in an endeavor to adjust some details of the proposed agreement between the operators and the miners, completely surprised every one here. From a reliable source it is learned that the proposition that the operators meet Mr. Mitchell on Friday next was made at the instance of Mr. MacVeagh, who was no less surprised than Mr. Mitchell himself at the turn affairs took yesterday. From statements made by Mr. Darrow early in the day the impression had spread that a complete agreement would be effected at yesterday's conference, but when the meeting broke up Mr. Darrow read to the newspaper men in the corridor outside his room in Willard's hotel a statement which made it clear that no final agreement had been reached and that no further conferences were likely. The statement was as follows: "The conference to-day was simply a continuation of the conferences held at Scranton and with precisely the same object—that of trying to reach a basis of hopeful discussion for an amicable settlement. Mr. MacVeagh has not been in Scranton since Thursday and some matters developed as to which a further conference might be useful before either the operators or the representatives of the miners approach the serious task of formulating a definite agreement for their signatures." Mr. Mitchell when shown the dispatch from New York, telling of the action of the operators, simply smiled and said that he had not asked for the conference but that when he was asked if it would be agreeable to meet the operators he said it would. Mr. Darrow and Mr. Loyd, however, were outspoken regarding the action of the operators. Mr. Darrow said that it was now "up to the operators," and that he would return at once to Scranton and on Tuesday next would appear before the commission ready to go on with the hearing. Mr. Lloyd, holding in his hand the Associated Press dispatch, referred to the fact that Friday's conference had been suggested in order to adjust some matters on which there was still some disagreement. "Yet," said Mr. Lloyd, "these same men, who only last week wired the commission their assent to the general provisions of the tentative agreement and upon the strength of which the commission adjourned for a week in order to give the parties time to get together, now go completely back on their former action and call it all off. We are satisfied to go before the commission and continue the hearing." Messrs. Mitchell, Darrow and Lloyd left here at 6:50 o'clock over the Pennsylvania railroad for Scranton. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 26.—President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, accompanied by his counsel, C. S. Darrow and H. D. Lloyd, arrived here from Washington last night. Mr. Mitchell declined to express any opinion regarding the attitude of the coal road presidents. Mr. Darrow, however, said: "They have gone squarely back on their word." Supplementing this Mr. Lloyd said: "We have no knowledge of the cause of the action of the railroad presidents excepting that the announcement followed a conference between the independent operators and the coal road presidents." Mr. Mitchell was asked if he considered that the action of the coal road presidents had weakened their case before the commission. He said: "I don't want to say what they have done, but I have no doubt that we will win our case." Scranton, Pa., Nov. 26.—The independent operators' committee, on their return from New York last night were all smiles. "We have won our point," said Dr. J. N. Rice, of the Riverside Coal Co. "We are ready to show to the public that we are paying all the wages our business warrants, and that an agreement with John Mitchell's organization is undesirable because of its un-American ideas. The big companies have come to our way of thinking and a settlement 'out of court' is no longer a possibility." Other members of the committee spoke in a similar strain. A Long Chase. Buffalo, Nov. 24.—Alexander Behrend, formerly of Louisville, Ky., and Chicago, who served on the cruiser Cincinnati during the Spanish-American war, was brought to Buffalo last night to answer a charge of raising a check on the Buffalo Savings bank from $12 to $1,212. The pursuit of Behrend led the detectives to almost every city in the United States and covered a period of more than a year. "I'm glad it's all over," said Behrend last night. "It will give me the first night's sleep I've had in a year. I make no denial; I am ready for my punishment." Dynamite Outrage. Mahanoy City, Pa., Nov. 24.—A destructive dynamiting outrage was perpetrated here at 5 o'clock yesterday morning. The dynamite with fuse attached was placed on the bar of the saloon of Christopher Portland. The front part of the building was blown across the street and the adjoining buildings on either side were badly wrecked. Portland and the other members of the family who were sleeping on the third floor, escaped without serious injury, although all were thrown from their beds. Portland's two sons are non-union men.

Stubenvoll is the possessor of two bibles presented to him by Emperor William of Germany. Upon the fly leaf of one of the bibles the Emperor has written in his own handwriting a text. This honored pastor, in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, says concerning their famous catarrh remedy, Peruna: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Gentlemen: "I had hemorrhages of the lungs for a long time, and all despaired of me. I took Peruna and was cured. It gave me strength and courage, and made healthy, pure blood. It increased my weight, gave me a healthy color, and I feel well. It is the best medicine in the world. If everyone kept Peruna in the house it would save many from death every year."---H. STUBENVOLL. SYRUP OF FIGS Acts Gently; Acts Pleasantly; Acts Beneficially; Acts truly as a Laxative. Syrup of Figs appeals to the cultured and the well-informed and to the healthy, because its component parts are simple and wholesome and because it acts without disturbing the natural functions, as it is wholly free from every objectionable quality or substance. In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal virtues of Syrup of Figs are obtained from an excellent combination of plants known to be medicinally laxative and to act most beneficially. To get its beneficial effects—buy the genuine—manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. San Francisco, Cal. Louisville, Ky. New York, N.Y. For sale by all druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. Thousands of people have catarrh who would be surprised to know it, because it has been called some other name than catarrh. The fact is catarrh is catarrh wherever located; and another fact which is of equally great importance, is that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Lost in the Park.

We derive from the blood life, power, beauty and reason, as the doctors have been saying from time immemorial. A healthy body, a fresh appearance, and generally all the abilities we possess depend on that source of life. It is, therefore, the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood as pure and normal as possible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has given us a thermometer indicating the state of the blood, which appeals to our reason by giving notice of its impurity. Small eruptions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay any attention, headache, ringing noises in the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are generally a sign that the blood is not in normal state, but is filled with noxious substances. These symptoms deserve our full attention. If more attention were paid to these symptoms and steps taken to remove them, then many illnesses from which we suffer would become unknown, and the human body would become stronger and healthier. Attention, therefore, should be paid to those warning signs, and the blood can be purified and poisonous substances removed from it by the use of Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more than 60 years ago.
