Your Boy Wont Live a Month.
”*So Mr. Gilman Brown, of 34 Mill St.,
Son th Gardner, Mass., was told by the
doctors. His son had Lung trouble, fol
lowing Typhoid Malaria, and he spent
three hundred and seventy-five dollars
with doctors, who finally gave him up,
paying: “Your boy wont live a month.”
'He tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and
a few bottles restored him to health and
enabled him to go to work a perfectly
well man. He says he owes his present
good health to use of Dr. King’s New

writTenTt RANDOM.
On Sunday, Aug. 23, Mrs. Rade Har
■ den’s pet African boa constrictor absent
mindedly swallowed the on
which it had been sleeping. Since that
time Babe has lain in her box thinking
the matter over and putting forth all her
gastric powers to digest the blanket,
says a writer in the Kansas City Star.
But the blanket, being of good stout
Canton flannel, refused to yeild to di
gestion, and it became a serious question
whether or not it could stand the strain
much longer. It was determined, there
fore, to perform a surgical operation on
Babe and remove the impediment.
At 9 o’clock this morning Babe was
taken to the University Medical College
at Tenth and Cambell streets and placed
ASK the recovered
dyspeptics, bilious
P u Ici U J sufferers, victims of
'■^ ’ eve r and ague, the
diseased
H patient, how they re-
“ covered health, cheer-
ful spirits and good
appetite; they will tell

.Vmons Liver Reou-

The Cheapest. Purest and Best Family
Medicine In the World!

depression of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH,
■Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled ren.edy is
•warranted not to contain a single particle of

PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Root* and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence ha* placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
4t will cure all Diseases caused by Derange
went of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth) Pain In the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach) Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache;*
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation or
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Eyes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the Liver
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
te the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:
Sen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. W. R. R. Coq Rev.
J. R. Felder, Perry, Ga.; Col. E. K. Sparks, Al
nany.Ga.; C. Masterson,Esq..Sheriff Bibb Co.,
Ga.; Hon. Alexander H. Stephens.
“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the best medicine the
world ever saw. We tried forty other remedies
before Simmons Liver Regulator, but none gave
as more than temporary relief; but the Regu
lator not only relieved, but cured us.”—Ea.

on an operating table in a lecture room-
It was extremely lively as to the first
fanr Jfeet of body and heavy as to the
other four feet. The amphitheater was
filled with medical students, doctors
and visitors. Mrs. Harden stood by
Babe and encouraged it to endure the
coming ordeal. Dr. L. Rosenwald took
oft' his coat, rolled up his sleeves and
announced that he was ready to releive
Babe of its burden.
Babe ran its forked tongue in and ou*’
caressing Mrs. Harden’s cheeks and
hands. Even the medical students shud
ered.
While Dr. Moore administered chloro
form to Babe, Dr. Rosenwald drew
rough plans and specifications of B ab
on the blackboards and, addressing the
students in technical language, explain
ed that a similar »operation had never
been performed on a snake before, and
that he would make an “exploratory in
cision” through the abdominal wall,
the peritoneum and the stomach of the
reptile, provided it had them, and re
cover the blanket if it was there. The
students craned their necks and regarded
the preparations with much interest.
Babe had in the meantime responded
gracefully to the chloroform, and was
insensible. An incision five inches long
was made in the belly of the snake and
hardly a drop of blood escaped. But the
blanket was there And was drawn forth
w ithout trouble.
It had been rolled into a cigar-shaped
cylinder about two feet long and was as
hard as a brick. It was covered with
gastric juice, which was futile endeav
oring to doits work. The blanket looked
as though it had been compressed by
machinery.
It had to be soaked in water before it
could be unfolded. The stomach of the
snake was as clean as a whistle, and af
ter the blanket had been removod was
as empty as a drum. Nine stitches were
taken in closing the wound, and the
snake was taken out into the alley for
fresh air.
It was soon surrounded by students,
smalls boys and colored women.' In
abont five minutes its lungs filled with
air and its forked tongue ran in and out,
and Mrs. Harden, who was anxiously
watching it, gave a sigh of relief.
“I’m so glad my Babe didn’t die,”
she exclaimed. “I couldn’t spare my
baby. I’d sooner have that snake around
the house than lots of men.”
The colored women shuddered, and
one exclaimed in a horrified tone: “Oh,
my Gawd!”
Dr, Rosenwald said that the snake
would surely recover and prescribed a
dtet of raw eggs for it for two weeks,
after which it may eat anything except
Canton flannel blankets.
The owner of the boa constrictor con
ducts a restaurant near Fifth and Wy
andotte streets. She got the reptile from
a snake charmer who could not pay a
board bill. M. M. F.

To all whom it may concern : I take
great pleasure in testifying to the efficient
qualities of the popular remedy for
eruptions of the skin known as P. P. P
(Prickley Ash, Poke Root and Potassrum).
I suffered several years with an unsightly
and disagreeable eruption on my face,
and tried various remedtes to remove it, |
none of which accomplished the object, I
until this valuable preparation was re
sorted to. After taking three bottles, in
accordance with directions, I am now’ en
tirely cured. J. D, Johnson.

ALABAMA POPULIST ELECTED.
Lite Returns Show That Howard was
Chosen for Congress.
Gadsden, Ala., November 15. —The
contest between M. W. Howard and W
I. Bullock, for congress, it seems, hag
been finally decided in favor of the for
mer. For some matter hung
in the balance, the result depending
upon the returns from |Winston county,
which has heretofore been republican.
General Shelley sent ont the report that
the county had given Bullock about 800
majority. This being true, the district
wonld have been safely for Bullock by
about 176 majority, and claim was con
findently made by Bulluck’s friends.
Late returns, however, establish
Howard’s election, as authentic figures
give Winston county to Curtis, the re
publican candidate, by about 300 major
ity. This gives the district to Howard
by something over 600 majority and
leaves him the only populist elected to
congress from Alabama.

THE ROME TRIBUNE. TUESDAY NOVEMBtE 17, 1896,
ONE OF TOM OCHILTREE’.*.
How He Played a Good Joke on a Vir
glubiii.
Most of us know Col. Andrew G.
Dickinson, the accomplished Virgin
ian, who does not like Cleveland be
cause tbe president failed to appoint
him minister to Spain, an office which
he would have tilled with great dig
nity and honor.
The colonel has been a New Yorker
for many years. He used to know’
Tom Ochiltree when Tom lived in
Texas, and one night stayed at the
same hotel with him. At a reasonable
hour they discussed old times, and
Tom switched the conversation deftly
to the hotel rules.
“Why, Dickinson,” he said seri
ously, “do you know that it is impos
sible to get a bottle of champagne
served in your room at this hotel?”
“What?” exclaimed Dickinson, who
had all his life been accustomed to
having his way in everything. “Not
get a bottle of champagne? I’ll bet I
can do it!” y
“Well, it’s more than any one here
yet has been able to do. I say it is
against the rules and can’t be done.”
“And .1 say it can be done. By
heavens I’ll show you. Not get a bot
tle of champagne at my own room at
any hotel.”
“Might do it almost anywhere else,
but not here. I’ve tried it too often. ”
Dickinson sprang for the bell.
A negro boy appeared at the door.
“Fetch me a quart of champagne,
two large glasses, some spoons, Ang
ostura bitters and sugar, and be
qu : ck about it. D’ye hear!”
The enraged'Virginian stormed. He
had made up his mind to have that
wine. The boy hastened off on the
wings of the wind, returning present
ly to ask what kind of champagne
was wanted.
“There, now, what did I tell you?”
said Ochiltree. “That’s away they
have of getting out of sending it.
They’ll do you yet.”
“Not bv a darned sight!” raved
Dickinson. “Fetch me anything,
Ohly champagne. Hurry it up!”
Turning to Colonel Ochiltree he
said, with a disdainful smile: “Tom,
you haven’t knocked around as much
as I have, old fellow. Now, just ob
serve how I shall work this, and there
won’t be any more trouble about
wine in this house.”
In less time than it takes to tell it
the champagne was on the table and
Dickinson was forging the cocktails.
As .the pair put them down one after
another Dickinson swelled with pride,
while Tom quaffed with satisfaction.
In telling the story a day or two ago
Dickinson said:
“It was three months before I dis
covered that Ochiltree had made a
fool of me. I haven’t gotten even
with him yet.”

“How much will half a quire be?”

“Ten cents,” replied the assistant.

TIME
TRIED
Time proves the worth of every
thing. It is the test of honesty. It
wears off tbe exterior and exposes the
solidity or the worthlessness beneath.
There is nothing more susceptible
to time than a piano. The Kranich &
Bach is a piano which has stood the
test of time, which has stood well in
tone, which keeps its perfect action
and elastic touch is as good as any
we can offer you. Beware of judging
hastily. Most pianos sound alike
when they are new. I will be glad to
help any one to piano wisdom who
cares to learn.
