Early in December we will issue our
annual trade review giving a resume
of the work of the year, the condition
of the trade and business in Romeand
a general survey of the city and sur
roundings. From time to time we
have issued such special editions for
the purpose of keeping the outside
world informed as to pur city and
country as a desirable section for the
location and upbuilding of business
and industrial enterprises and for the
establishing of homes for those in
search of an attractive place io live.
We aim to make a complete resume
of the many attractions and advan
tages of Rome as a place for business
or residence and out of the abundant
material at hand we will be able to
make a splendid showing of our fair
country. We have heretofore been
accorded a generous and hearty res
ponse from the business men of Rome
every time that we have proposed to
issue such an edition and we feel
that we shall receive the same on this
occasion.
The times are ripe for advantage
ous advertising. Letters are being
received daily from abroad asking
for information regarding Rome. The
city has been so extensively adver
tised that people at a distance are im
pressed with the idea of its impor
tance as a central point. Now in the
time to put our best foot forward and
to Jet the world know more of our
resources and advantages.
The man who places his advertise
ment in our great trade review may
be assured that it will fall into the
hands of thousands and thousands of
readers in this and other sections.
Every advertisement will be bene
ficial not only to the advertisers per
sonally, but will redound to the credit
and honor of our beautiful city.

Bottled Up!
Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the doctor’s prescription for
blood diseases is always the same—
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up and poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair of
crutches. Then conies falling of
tiie hair and decay of the bones, —a con
dition truly horrible.

Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.
something like this: He had a corn
salve that was unequaled and unap
proachable in its virtues. He wished to
advertise it and would for 10 cents give
a sample of the salve and a check, on
the presentation of which later ha would
give a present.
The “present” end of it caught many
who were old enough to know better and
several children, but great was their
surprise when on presenting their chocks
they were handed 15 cents as a present.
This was making money very fast.
Each purchaser had realized 50 per cent
on his investment. The doctor bad ar
ticle No. 2 to advertise and would also
give a present to every purchaser who
would pay 25 cents for a sample. .
-Those who had bought pne package
of No. 1 took two and three of article
No. 2 and were given checks, as in the
previous instance. Os course they
thought this man who gave them 15
cents for 10 would certainly give them
at least 35 for 25.
But he didn’t.
He probably thought ho had gone
the limit, and when the speculators
presented their checks they were given
a bit of taffy candy by the smiling doc
tor, who said, “I told you I would give
you a present, and I have done so,” and
while he continued to give them the
laugh they began to see the “joke.”
Several of those on the outside of the
crowd got their heads together and then
went to a nearby provision store and in
vested all the money they had in eggs,
and the less modern they were the more
desirable for their purpose.
When they returned, the voluble doc
tor was telling his audience not to feel
bad over the matter. He had, he said,
traveled a great deal and had “got it in
the neck’ ’ himself and never complained.
Well, just then he got it in the neck,
and in the back, and on the head, and
in several other places. There was' a
perfect shower of eggs.
The doctor’s smile vanished, and he
did not stand upon the order of going,
but got quickly. He made $5 or $6, but
he needed a new suit of clothes.—Bos

How a Letter May' Tie Ke called.
The public is not as famili >.r with its ;
privileges about postal matte is as might ,
be supposed, saystheßos in Transcript. I
Many times people would like to recall,
a letter after it has been mailed. This
can be done, oven if the letter has reach
ed the postoffice of its destination. At
every postoffice there are what are called
“withdrawal blanks.” On application
they will be furnished, and.when a de
posit is made to cover the expense, the
postmaster will telegraph to the post
master at the letter’s destination asking
that it be promptly returned. The ap
plicant first signs this agreement: “It
is hereby agreed that, if the letter is re
turned to me, I will protect you from
any and all claims made against you
for such return and will fully indemni
fy you for any loss you may sustain by
reason of such action. And I herewith
deposit § — to cover all expenses incur
red and will deliver to you the envel
ope of the letter returned.” In many
cases persons have made remittances to
fraudulent parties or irresponsible firms,
not learning their true character until
after the letter had gone, and have suc
ceeded in recalling them.
A Human Nose Two Feet In Length.
Elephantiasis is a peculiar form of
leprosy in which the limb and features
swell to horrible proportions and out of
all semblance to the legs, arms and
faces of human beings. Cases are known
where the legs have become so swollen
that they measured 4,' 2 feet in circum
ference. The ears of the same victim,
Waiter Brisbane, an Engish sailor,
were 18 inches in length and his nose
elongated to upward of 2 feet when in
the last stages of the horrible malady.—

According to a celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 5,000,000 little
glands in the human stomach. These
glands pour out the digestive juices
which dissolve or digest the food. Indi
gestion is want of juice, weakness of
glands, need of hlep to restore the health
of these organs. The best and most nat
ural help is that given by Shaker Diges
tive Cordial. Natural, because it supplies
the materials needed by the glands to
prepare the digestive juices. Because it
strengthens and invigorates the glands
and the stomach, until they are able to do
their work alone. Shaker Digestive Cor
dial cures indigestion certainly and per
manently It does so by natural means,
and therein lies the secret of its wonder
ful and unvaried success.

Sciatic Rheumatism
It Shortened Tha Patient’s Leg Two Inches,
end so Affected the Nervous System
that He Continually Shook as
with the Palsy.
Alter Six Years of Torment He Succeeds in Find
ing a Remedy for the Horrible Disease.
From the Egyptian Press, Marion, Illinois,
There is no name in this section of the
country, connected with the medical world,
that is better known to the public than that
of Mr. Monroe Peterson. He is situated in
a nice, comfortable home, with a good farm,
about four miles west of Johnson City, 111.,
He is now fifty-eight years old, in a healthy
c— lition, and weighs one hundred and ninety
pounds. Not a more upright and honorable
citizen does our nation afford, and he is
looked upon'with wonder, because of his
healthy condition after so long a period of
misery and suffering.
The cause of Mr. Peterson's long suffering
was a hurt which he received in a fall, while
running a drill in 1861, being a soldier nt
the time. He has been crippled in his right
leg ever since that date. Sciatic rheumatism
then set in, and bis leg began to slowly
wither away and draw up in the joint, and
nowit is abonf two inches shorter than the
other. It began to grow worse and, finally,
his whole body began to shake like a person
with the St. Vitus’dance. His first severe
attack was about six years ago.
There is no disease in th', power of human
endurance more awful in its pains ami
afflictions than sciatic rheumatism. Some
times its pain may be a slow, steady one,
while, at other times, it comes with jerks
and wrenches that seem to twist the body
out of all shape of recognition. II seems to
contract the muscles, drawing the body al
most in a knot. While this is probably the
worst stage of sciatic rheumatism, it is some
times found in milder forms. So it was
with Mr. Peterson, hut, with it was associ
ated a feeling and condition almost as un
comfortable and unbearable. The body was
in a continual shake, rendering it impossible
for him to do anything. He had lost all
control of his muscles. On application to a
physician for relief, he was told that the
affliction might last him all his life, or, on
the other hand, it might leave him entirely
at an unexpected moment.
For over three years he was not able to
write a word, so severe was his shaking. He
could not even sign his vouchers, thereby
having to make his mark and witness it. At
this time he could not walk a step without
aid, nor even sit down in a chair without
assistance. So severe was the shaking of
his head that it almost caused, him to go
blind. He could not distinguish a person a
rod’s distance in front of him. He came
very nearly losing bis mind, and his friends
thought, as a last resort, that he would have
to he taken to a hospital. When he was
taken to town for examination by a physi
cian, he had to be examined in the buggy,
so difficult was it for him to.get out. Often
times it wonid seem that life was nearly ex
tinct, and his feet and hands would have to
be bathed in warm wafer and rubbed in
order to restore the cireoliitfon. For two
years he’was not able to feed him--If sit the
tabic. His .'ver faithful and deli’. l wile put
the food to his mouth. At nigh: he would take
smothering spells nod would hnve to be
lifted up in bed that he nii-.'lit regain his
breath and strength At this critical period
he was not able to put on his clothes not
able to do anything but sit and suffer his
miserable life away.
One physician gave, as his decision of the
case, that his leg would have to be placed in

i a vice and stretched to its original length,
thereby extending the contracted sciatic
nerve which was the sea! of trouble. Mr.
Peterson, unwilling to subject his body to
such severe treatment, objected, thinking
that if could be made better, if not cured, in
some more humane way. All kinds of patent
medicines had been tried. At, times he
j thought lie was enjoying the comfort and
j pleasure of a partial relief, but soon he
! would be buck in the same old rut, making
i his life one of misery and affliction. Instead
of life being one of improvement and joy, it
was one of continual toil and suffering.
Electric currents which have gained such a
foolhold among the remedies for rheumatic
and neuralgic pains, were tried with only
partial relief for a while. He was treated
by nearly every physician in the county.
All kinds of medicines were tried without
avail Much money had been spent in vain.
,Still was this disease like a vampire sucking
away at his miserable life. The doctors
finally gave him up, saying nothing could
relieve him. They had Irii-d every remedy
known to the medical world, and now tin y
ithought it best to keep the money which
I wan l < ing spent for doctors’ bills and medi-
I cines and make his last days as pleasant for
■ him us his mi ’ruble condition would allow.
■ He wi.s plan'd before a State Board of pen-
I sion examiners and was told that it wonid
I be useli i-s In spend nny more money in this
\ direction or io try to improve his health, lor
iit was an impossibility. As he now thought
I the ciilmimiiion hud been reached, but, not
to be l-n’l vd by lit iipnir, lie nil! sought means
j by w hich Ins miserable life could be made
more happy ”As long as there is life there

I which suited that a liistinguislmil lumber*

i courage to try again. ITe ordered one-L If

rested the following night la tter than he had

he took them nearly six months, lie Logan
to gradual: v mi nd and is now a hale and s
hearty man. He now goes anywhere on the
: farm that he desires, and is now able to write .
a good, plain hand and sign his name to his
vouchers, and is able to flo his chores about
the house. While he is 100 old to labor
hard, he in such a condition that be can
spend his last days here on earth in peace
and comfort.
These pills were not known to this section
of country till Mr. Peterson tried them, and
now they can be had at any drug store,
i Hundredsof boxes ha ve been sold on account
