The Only Remedy.

The question is, what ails the country? There is no question but Uncle Sam is sick. Some say all the country needs is free silver. Others declare socialism is the only cure. While others still contend that a single tax on land is the specific. Then there is a large class who have not diagnosed the patient. Yet they know he is sick, and think a reyival of “old time” religion will save him. All of these quacks are pouring their nostrums into Uncle Sam, but he still complains of biliousness. His digestion is destroyed, and his food does not assimilate and give strength to the tissues, and relieve the lack of healthful blood flow. Not one of these quack doctors have reached the right diagnosis of the case. They have overloked the real cause of the disorder. The case is not a complex one by any means. The symptoms are a perfect guide to the seat of the disease, and its nature, if they understand their profession. Uncle Sam is simply suffering from an over secretion of monopoly. The effort to throw off this bile has deranged the whole system, and the patient is rapidly on the decline. The free silver specific may give relief, but it will not cure the patient. It is not strong enough to eradicate the disorder from the system. Socialism and single tax might afford some temporary relief, but the' patient will soon relax and suffer as great pain as ever. The case requires a strong dose. It must be a medicine, as the homeopathists say of high potency. The remedy must thoroughly cleanse the system and eradicate the very seat of the. disease.

The only remedy known that will restore the patient to the full vigor of health and strength is a preparation put up by a school of reform doctors. It is a very simple remedy, but very radical and penetrating in its nature. It cannot be counterfeited, as it has “Omaha Platform” blown on the bottle. It is a sure cure for all derangement of the social, political and economic system, and will be found to even benefit the moral functions. Try it, God wants us to rejoice always, because there is always some good reason why we should.
