REMARKABLE
STATISTICS.
Show That the Health of the
City of Macon is
Getting Better.
REPORT FOR PAST YEAR.
A Decrease as Against the Report of
a Year Ago, Especially Among
the White People.
The mortuary report for the year 1897
has just been made up by Clerk Bridges
Smith, and presents a most interesting
array of figures for the contemplation for
the patriotic Maeonite.
The report shows that Macon is compe
tent as a health resort, and that notwith
standing her increased population, her
death rate is growing beautifully less each
year.
In fact, the difference in the figures this
year is really remarkable.
The report shows that there were
ninety-eight less deaths in 1897 than there
were in 1896.
The difference in the deaths among the
whites is really very remarkable, as will
be seen from the table. This appliees to
both the males and the females in the
white population.
Ahe death rate is about twenty-one.
The following is well worth a careful
consideration:
1897. M 6
White males 85 108
White females 79 120
Colored males 132 159
Colored females 150 157
Total whites 164 228
Total colored 283 316
Grand toal 446 544
The report shows the following figures
by ages:
White. Col.

MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY i 1898.

There is nothing in the world so pitiful as
a neglected baby. There is no sight so sad
as that of a helpless infant denied its birth
right, a mother’s loving care. Thousands
of mothers neglect their children because
of ill - health. No woman can proper y
perform a mother’s duty who is constau *y
suffering from sickness, whose system is
debilitated and wrecked by the ? wful drains
due to the diseases and weaknesses pecu
liar to women. The mother who suffers
from the listlessness, lassitude and despond
ency due to these troubles is pretty sure to
neglect her children and her home?
This lamentable state of affairs is easily
remedied if the proper measures are taken.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is an un
failing cure for all the many forms of weak
ness and disease of the organs distinctly
feminine. It promptly stops all weakening
drains, invigorates the various organs and
infuses new Hfe and vigor into the sufferer’s
whole body. A happy home and a tidy and
well - cared for baby is the result, for no
healthy woman will wilfully neglect her
child. Many a woman is blamed for neg
ligence and heartlessness when she is sim
ply too ill to care for anything but death.
If you want to know all about the “ Favorite
Prescription” address Dr. R. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids’
Hotel and Surgical institute, Buffalo, N. Y.
It is sold by all druggists.
Foul breath, dull eyes, listlessness, sallowness
and pimples. A nice combination to avoid or
get rid of. All are due to constipation, and con
stipation is promptly cured by Dr. Pierce’s Pleas

but a permanent cure. Many so-called constipa

they are started. The "Pellets” cure perma
