—A brilliant idea has struck the inhab

common cellar, in which the whole pop

expected.
—Some locomotive engineer is recently
reported to have said that the locomotiye

and will never go.
—People who throw rice at weddings

—Pickerel shooting has become a favorite

—During the excursion season just closed

ititious last resting place.

—A citizen of Arrowsmith, 111., recently

them into a cage and hung it on the out
side of the house, where the mother bird
fed them until one day last week, when a

lias since taken ma ternal care of the little
fellows, feeding them as her own.
—The latest accounts state that the new
eland which has sprung up in the Friendly
group, in the South Pacific, is about nine
square miles in art®, and rises from two
hundred to three hundred feet above the
level of the sea. The volcanic eruption
which produced the island threw up a col

—A greedy hen belonging to Mrs. Hum

“A BOWLD SOGER BOY.”
One of the Macon Volunteers and His
Ability as a Drummer,
pnj
SAMCEI. DUNLAP, OF ATLANTA, OA.
The excellent picture we present at the
head of this column is of a man who is as
well and favorably known in his capacity
as a traveling man or “drummer” as any
one man in the United States.
Mr. Dunlap said in conversation recently:
“About four years ago I hada severe attack
cf rheumatism, which completely disabled
me for a time, and which developed into
wlmt is commonly called ‘chronic,’ attack
ing mo when least expected, and laying me
up entirely ; incapacitating me for any kind
of business, and causing me as much suffer
ing in a day as should be crowded in a life
time. After one of my most severe attacks
and when I had just got able to hobble
around, I met J. M. Hunnicutt, an old
friend, and he said he could make a remedy
that would cure me, and, by gracious, be
did. I took two bottles of Ids stuff, prepar
ed from roots and herbs, and I have never
had a twinge of rheumatism since. The
medicine was not ptepared for sale at that
time, but was manufactured by Mr. Hunni
cutt for bis friends. About six months ago
it was determined to place it upon the
market, and a firm was organized for that
purpose. Two weeks ago, in the midst of
my suffering, 1 noted in one of their adver
tisements that it was good for kidney troub
les also. I knew it would cure rheumatism,
and I bought a half dozen bottles at once
and determed to give it a fair show at a kid
ney disease of long standing. It may seem
extravagant, but the first day’s use gaye me
relief, and before I had completed taking
one bottle my disagreeable symptoms had
entirely disappeared. I have used two bot
tles up to this time, and I have not felt a
trace of my disease for a week.”
J. M. Hunnicutt & Go., the manufactu
rers of Hunnicutl’s Rheumatic Cure, Atlan
ta, Qa., assure us that their medicine is on
sale at the low price of $1 a bottle, at all
reputable druggists and can be procured at
wholesale from jobbing druggists every
where.
THE SKIN
ITS DISEASES AND CURE.
This class of troublesome complaints em
braces a large list, some of which nfliict
nearly every family in the land. Hereto
fore the treatment of nearly all these dis
eases lias been very unsatisfactory and un
successful, and the people have been very
much deceived by pretended remedies. A
majority are caused by an impure, vitiated
condition of the blood, and as most of the
blood remedies of the day requre 50 to 100
bottles before you discover that they will
not effect a cure, we offer B. B. 8., which
makes positive cures by the use of only a
few bottles.
The most common of ttic skin diseases
which are cured by the use of B. B. 8.,
the only quick Blood Purifier, are as follows.
Kczeraa, Old Ulcers,
Impetigo, Abscesses,
Erysipelas, l)ry Tetter,
Ringworm, Carbuncles,
Scaldbead, Itching Humors.
Pluritus, Blotches,
Old Sores, Herpes,
Pimples, Boils,
Itche, Splotches.
BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION
is sought by the use of cosmetics and all
sorts of external applications, some of them
being poisonous.
Ail females love to look pretty (which gen
tlemen do not object to), and a smooth, soft,
clear complexion adds greatly to female
charms.
The use of 13. B. B. will purify your
blood, will remove blotches, splotches and
bumps that appear upon the face and neck,
and will tinge the pale cheek to the
roseate tines of nature. One or two bottles
will convince any one of its value. No
family should fail to keep B. B. B in the
house as there is no family medicine its
equal.
One author says: “Rheumatism is due
to the presence in the blood of a vegetable
organism of definite characters.”
Another says: “It is due to the presence
of a poison in the blood which is of the na
ture of a miasm.”
The disease having its origin in the blood,
it is reasonable to suppose that it must be
cured by remedies directed to the blood.
A successful remedy must product: cer
tain changes in the composition of tle blood
and when this lias been accomplished, all
pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints
subside.
This accounts for the reason why exter
nal applications fail to produce permauent
relief.
But we now have the remedy which acts
like magic in giving relief to all forms of
rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism
of the joints, muscles and heart. It also
cures - syphilitic and mercurial pMns and
rheumatism in an incredibly short time.
The fact cannot lie denied that B. B. B.
(Botanic Blood Balm) lias proven itself to
be tlie most speedy and wonderful remedy
for all forms ot rheumatism ever before
known. Those who were prostrated Id
bed and could not get about, have been
cured. Men with two crutches, and hob
bling along with stiffened and painful joints,
withered flesh, loss of sleep and appetite,
are cured by the use of B. B. B. Cast
aside all other remedies, use B. B. 8., and
you will soon have no use for crutches.
Many who read this will refuse to be
cured by the use of B. B. 8., but we advise
all such to drop us a postal card lor our
Book of Wonders, free, wliioii is filled
with startliug proof of cures mad* here at
home. It also contains full information
about blood and skin diseases, which every
body should read.
Address Blood Balm Company, Atlanta
Ga., and you may lie made happy.

About twenty years ago . .scovcred a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, ont without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied
was like Are to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. 1 procured some at once. Before f had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing np. Hy general
health had been bad for two or three years—l had a hacking congn anu spit blood contin
ually. I had a severe pam in my breast. After taking six bottles of 8. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and It la rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.
