How often you hear of a sweet in

terrible blood disease which is
hereditary and which if not eradi

source of misery during its entire
life. If you are a parent and your
child is suffering from any blood
disease, don’t neglect getting a bot

Bead the Following!
I had been troubled for years with
rheumatism 1 took two bottles of
1 your most excellent medicine* Afri
cans, which has about relieved me
entirely, and I feel like a different
man. My little daughter, 8 years
old, was greatly afflicted with sore
eyes all her life, and less than one

mend your most excellent medicine,
the “ Africans,’’ as a great relief to

FORNEY-DAU CETTE,
A Very Fashionable Wedding In Jackson
ville jWedneeday Krening.
Jacksonville, Ala., Dec. 23.—Our
lives are guided by a star of hope.
Our imagination plows the mystic fu
ture, drives back, dark possibilities,
and pictures circumstances that when
attained, life will be sweeter and hap
pier. Many of the anticipations
of life are disappointed, but the
dreams, the hopes and the antioipa
tions of Mr C W. Daugette and
Miss Annie Rowan Forney came to
a sweet realization last night at 8
o’clock at St, Luke’s Episcopal church,
when the Rev. Mr. Mellichampe, in
an impressive manner performed the
ceremony that made them man and
wife.
Long before the appointed hour the
church was filled with people. J. J.
Arnold am? Walter Dean were ushers.
Miss Exa Hames was organist, and as
she softly played the Lohengrin
march the bridal party began to enter.
P. P. Daugette, brother of the groom,
was best man.
The attendants were Ed G. Caldwell
and Miss Sallie Donaldson, of Easta
boga; Geo. P. Ide and Miss Josephine
Alexander, of Anniston;' Jacob For
ney and Miss Annie Stevenson, and
P. F. Williams and Miss Emily Good
lett.
When they had taken stand
in front of the sanctuary the bride-to
be entered on the arm of her father,
Gen. I. H. Forney, and advancing
upon the rostrum joined' the groom
to-be and his best man where the cer
emony was performed.
The gentlemen wore evening dress
suits, The bride was dressed in beau
tiful white brocaded satin. The brides
maids wore pink, green and blue or
gandie. The flower girls, little
Misses Louise Raymond and Fannie
Graham, strewed the aisle with flow
ers before the retreating bridal party.
The party were then driven to the
home of the bride’s parents where a
reception was given from 9 till 11
o’clock.
Many beautiful and costly presents
were given. The wedding was the
prettiest ever witnessed in Jackson
ville, and from the prominence of the
wedded parties, the most notable
event in society circles. Their hun
dreds of friends proffer congratula
tions and warm wishes for their hap
piness.
How to Prevent Pneumonia.
At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know of
no better remedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
We have used it quite extensively and
it has always given entire satisfaction.
—Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be a certain preventive of pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have .
used it for colds and la grippe, we have
never yet learned of a single case having'
resulted in pneumonia. Persons who
have weak lungs or have reason to fear
an attack of pneumonia, should keep
the remedy at hand. The 25 and 50

NO FAITH CUBE.
ABOUT BTUaRT’B DYSPEPSIA TAB
LETS.
They Cure 8tom«oh Trouble* and Indiges
tion Anyway, Whether You Have Faith tn
Them or Not.
All physicians agree that the ele
ment of faith has a great deal to do in
the cure of disease
Firm belief and confidence in a fam
ily physician or the same confidence
and faith in a patent medicine
have produce remarkable cures in all
ages.
This is especially true in nervous
troubles and no field offers so prolific
a harvest for the quack and charlatan
as the diseases arising from a weak or
run iown nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common of
all diseases, indigestion and stomach
troubles, which in turn cause nervous
diseases, heart troubles, consumption
and loss of flesh, requires something
besides faith to cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give you an appetite,
will not increase your flesh and
strengthen your nerves and heart, but
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will do
these things, because they are com
posed of the elements of digestion,
they contain . the juices, acids and
pepstones necessary to the digestion
and assimilation of all wholesome
food.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will di
gest food if placed in ajar or bottle in
water heated to 98 degrees, and they
will do it much more effectively when
taken into the stomach after meals,
whether you have faith that they will
or not.
They invigorate the stomach,'make
pure blood and strong nerves, in the
only way that nature can do it, and
that is, from plenty of wholesome
food well digested. It is not what we
eat, but what we digest that does us
good.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by druggists at 50 cents for full sized
package.
