Tired Feeling
Makes you seem "all broken up," with
out life, ambition, energy or appetite.
It is often the forerunner of serious ill
ness, or the accompaniment of nervous
troubles. It is a positive proof of thin,
weak, impure blood; for, if the blood is
rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it im
parts life and energy to every nerve,
organ and tissue of the body. The
necessity of taking Hood's' Sarsaparilla
for that tired feeling is therefore apparent
to every one, and the good it will do yon
la equally beyond question. Remember

W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.
Dear Sir: I congratulate you on
your nomination at unicago. l
think the country is to be con
gratulated also. I need not as
sure you that your nomination
was more than satisfactory to
me. I think we shall be able to
consolidate all the friends of free
coinage in your support, and if
we do this I believe you will be
elected, although 1 do not overs.
look the tremendous power that
will he arrayed against us in this
campaign. All the power of
money and organized wealth,
corporations and monopolies of
all kinds will be against us. Jus
tice is on our side and this is the
cause of the people. It is a con
test for industrial independence
and for freedom from tbe domi
nation of foreign powers and for
eign capital, and it does not seem
possible that in such a contest
before the American people that
-justice should fail and wrong
prevail. 1 do not believe we shall
fail. I think I can promise you
the cordial support of the East
ern masses who have heretofore
acted with the Republican party.
and if you get that I think that
all of the Western, the coast and
the inter-mouutain States will be
with you.
I will not offer any suggestions
to you, save to advise you that as
you ' were nominated without
pledges of favor or -privilege to
any one, that you maintain that
position and make no pledges or
promises, so tha you may go in
to the great, office of President
of the United States without the
embarrassment that follows
pledges and promises, even if
they are such asmay properly
be carried out.
It will afford me much pleas
ure to place myself at the dispo
sition of the National Committee
to mate such speeches in your
behalf as may think it will do
good
