thing were possible.
The president’s health is said to be
improving daily.
From the beginning of his con

which he devotes to public business.
Barring a short period that im
mediately followed his breakdown
and one or two short periods of re
lapse, there nas never been a time
that matters .of the first importance
have not had his personal attention.
And what is more, in spite of
vicious rumors to the contrary, there
has never been a time since the be
ginning of his convalescence that the
president has not been able to bring
to bear on public matters of the
first importance, an intellect as keen
as at any time during his tenure of
office.
One of the things which he has
not been permitted to do is to re
ceive visitors and to discuss public
questions personally with them.

bad a sick spell, something like indi
gestion," writes Mra. Clara Peacock, of

medicines. The Black-Draught re
lieved me more than anything that I
took, and I got all right.
“I haven’t found anything better
than Black-Draught when suffering
from trouble caused by constipation.
It is easy and sure. Can be taken in
small doses or large as the case calls
for.”
