MAY CLIMB INTO
DAVIS’ BAND WAGON.
The Dardanelle Post-Dispatch,
owned and edited by John H.
Page, one of Gov. Davis’ lieu
tenants, is willing for the ram
pant anti-Davis Democrats to en
ter the band wagon, provided
they make the ‘ ‘proper applica
tion, He says in his paper:
The Hot Springs state Demo
cratic convention marked the
close of the first political chapter
in Arkansas politics for the year
1904.
“The nominees were made in
conformity with the Democratic
primary election of last March,
an allegiance to the fundamental
principles of the party was de
dared, and a state platform of
principles pronounced.
“In that convention there was
assembled those who were indi
vidually pleased, and those who
were individually displeased, ac
cording to the diversity of indi
vidual choice and preference, but
upon the whole the convention
but affirmed and confirmed the
will of the democratic majority
at the ballot box in the primary,
and now, among true democrats,
there are no individual preferen
ces, they having surrendered to
the will of the majority. There
is now one solid Democracy,
standing firm for the nominees
and party enunciations, and its
mission is to march against the
Republican hosts and capture
everything in sight at the Sep
! tember and November elections.
In the meantime, those Demo
crats who declared in their hour
of disappointment and chagrin
that they would not support the
the ticket unless it was ‘so-and
so,’ will be forgiven upon proper
application.”

A WORD OF COMFORT
To the Distressed.
Fortunately for those suffering with
Rheumatism in all its various forms, in.
eluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and
Sore Feet, a remedy has been discovered
by modern science which in every instance
effects a speedy and positive cure. This
; new remedy is founded on scientific prin
ciples which are acknowledged by the
medical world as the only correct treat
ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgic troubles.
Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef
fect a cure without upsetting the stomach.
As a rule, they injure tne digestive organs,
shatter the nerves, and in many instances
the patient contracts a drug habit w hich
leads eventually to a decline ol the physi
cal and mental forces.
Paracamph is the new remedy and it is
a departure from the antiquated methods.
Paracamph enters into the system through
the natural channels, namely, the pores
of the skin. When applied it opens the
pores and allows the healing, soothing oils
to penetrate the sore, inflamed mebranes
and muscles, removes the congestion and
draws out the fever and inflammation, by
inducing sweating. This is the only treat
ment that can be indorsed by science, and
is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti
nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used
as directed. Paracamph can be procured
at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and
$1.00 bottles. Write for book of testimo
nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company
