pants of the old Ward building, opposite the hotel.
They atill stick to their old quarters, but will soon
have to find others, as the building Is to be de
molished.
Tax Bono Proposition. —ln order that our
readers may distinctly understand the proposition

Lunatic.— On Wednesday Miss Lncy Hart, of
this county, waa placed In the State Lunatic Asy
lam. Sheriff McCune informs as she enjoyed the
trip to Milledgeville, and entered the Institution
contentedly
Hioh Waters.— From Mr. Bloodworth w#
learx that the Towallgaat High Tails was higher
•n Sunday last than it baa been known for
many years. A small portion of the dam was
washed out, but the injury will not hinder the
regular operations of the mills.
Huge.—The Barneaviile Patriot says onr friend
R. Rutherford, of Culloden, “is one of the most
powerfully devuioped mnacular men in these
parts. He lilts with ease fifteen hundred hundred
pounds.” He is powerful, we know ; but woa’t
the Patriot fall a few ?

Organize! Organize! I —We have been re
<ito announce that the Friends of Temper
ance will meet at Masonic Hill, on Friday night,
Feb. 21st, for the purpose of organising Forsyth
Council No. 2, under the new Temperance ritual.
The Charter has been secured, and officers for the
enaning year will be elected at tbo meeting speci
fied.
Another Separation.— From the Telegraph
and Messenger we loam that Mr. H. W. Bronson,
who for about twenty-five years has been con
nected with the Macon and Western railroad, and
who for a considerable portion of the time has
been Master of Transportation, has tendered his
resignation. Mr. Bronson has been a faithful and
efficient officer of the road, and his loss will be
felt, provided he is not persuaded to alter his de
termination to resign.
The Jail.—Tbe inmate* of tbe county jail are
only four In number, and all XV tbs. Tom Leary
•nd Tom Lloyd, committed lor raps; Waab Tay
lor for burglary, and auotber " geuuueuob color"
for assault with iuteut to kill, make up tbe quar
tette. They are now having a Jolly time—have
plenty to eat and nothing to do. Their future
status will probably be decided by the juries uext
week.
New Improvements.—ln addition to the pro
posed Improvements by Messrs. Pys and Wilder,
on the burnt districts—which have already been
ct ntracted for—we learn that the old Ward and
llogau bulldiuga, ou tbe North side of the public
square, will be torn down this Spring and a hand
some brick block, containing six capacious store
rooms, erected daring tbe summer. The comple
tion ot these Improvements will leave little unoc
cupied ground around the square.
Superior Cocet.— The regular Bprlng term of
Monroe Superior Court will open ou Monday next.
The lists of Jurors have already been published in
The Advsbiisbe. The new cases docketed are
□ot as numerous ss in msny previous terms,
but there is a sufficiency of old and knotty cases
to occupy tbe attention of tbe bench and bar all
tbe time that can be spared from other duties. Iu
addition the great county caae will be heard, as it
was again postponed until the regular term in the
county, on Thuraday last.
Livhlt.— The (air weather experienced last
week brought out the young people of Forsyth,
Friday evening, and the first general pleasure ride
of the season was the result. We noticed several
fine “ turn outa "on the streets; and It was re
marked that the drivers all seemed so well pleased
with their companions as to have become oblivious
of the (act that they were traveling at a “ 2:40 ”
rate. On reflection, and after remembering we
too were young, once, we came to the conclusion
that it was all right, and wished all parties full
enjoyment ot the ride.
Valentor Party.— The young ladies and
gents, in the vicinity of High Falls, observed Bt.
Valentine’s day by assembling fora ‘‘sociable’’
at the ball of the Geod Templars on Friday eve
ning last. The idea it a sensible as well as novel
one. We learn a large crowd was in attendance,
refreshments were provided in abundance, and
every thing passed off pleasantly—“ as merry as a
marriage bell "—The distribution of “ living and
moving" valentines by lot gave general satisfac
tion aa well at affording much amusement. For
syth was represented by s small delegation, who
returned satisfied with all their friends around
High Falls and the rest of mankind.
Increasing. —Since the announcement of a re
duction of the subscription price of Ths Adver
tiser, we have received gratifying additions to
onr subscription list, and from all parts of the
ooanty expressions in favor of the change, of the
most encouraging character, have reached us.
We have reason to believe thgt the list in Mon
roe county will be doubled, as It ooght to be,
and will be it onr friends aid us in the manner
many of them have volunteered. At the reduced
rate there is not a reader in Monroe who cannot
afford to subscribe and pay for a good local news
paper ; Indeed, no family can be without it Thb
ASTiiTiui should be in the bands of alt, and
we hope lta friends will endeavor to give It this
general circulation.
Farmers’ Uranus in Mobrob.— Several of the
planters of Monroe have, we learn, taken the nec
essary steps to establish a Farmers’ Grange in
Monroe, subordinate to the State Grange. A char
ter has been applied for, and it is expected tbe as
sociation will organise in a few days, with Dr. J.
S. Lawton as Master.
To many of our readers ibis will be anew thing,
and an application of its workings and purpo
ses cannot fail to be Interesting. Dnring the
session of the agricnltnral convention at Augusta
last week, something of an explanation was given
by Dr. Aiken, of South Carolina, who stated that
the “ Order of Patrons of Industry” had Its origin
with a Washington clerk, who was sent to tbe coast
of South Carolina to arrange for the recovery of
lands on some amicable basis, which had been
seized and occupied by the negroes, before and
after the surrender. He returned to headquarters
thoroughly disgusted with the Southern situation,
and was the founder of the order he represented
in this country. It had previously existed in
Wales.
The order of the Patrons of Industry has three
•übdiviaions:
Ist. The subordinate Grange, which consists of
not less than nine members, four of whom may be
women.
2d. The State Grange, made up of subordinate
Granges, and
3d. The National Grange, which la composed
of representatives from the State Granges. Wom
en are eligible, and belong to all of them.
The grand object of the Association ia to bring
the consumer and producer in immediate contact.
This is effected by establishing absolutely the
cath basis n their intercourse. No credit on either
side is the law of the order, and a deviation from
tbia rule is never sanctioned by tbe Grange.
The presiding officer of the Grange is called -
Master, and tbe State Grange is composed of these
Masters, and the National Grange of delegates
from the State. The entrance fee is three dollar*
for men and fifty cents for women. There are
2,000 Granges in the United States These organ
izations enter into correspondence with manufac
turers and wholesale dealers, and bny their sup
plies of every kind without the intervention of
middle men, and st the lowest minimum prices.
The saving is immense, and at once this patron
age is courted on all sides. Thus, in the article of
wagons and the Watt plow, the parties filling the
orders of the Granges, will be forced to increase
their capacity of production to meet the demand.
In addition to these pecuniary advantages, the
Grange is a social and moral Institution. Month
ly meetings are held, and questions relating to
agriculture, and the material and moral interests
of the farmer are fully discussed. None are ad
mitted to membership who are not induetrious
and blameless in reputation.
Any member of the society who wishes to make
a purchase, bauds the money to the Secretary of
the Grange, who stamps the order with Us seal,
which at once places it above suspicion In any
market in the country. The presence of ladies,
tbe wives of the members, makes the whole sys
tem popular, chaste and pure, while the oath of
secresy gives value and cohesiveness to the or
der. Without this regulation, neither masonry or
any other earthly organization could survive but
for a limited period.
Fifteen Granges will bo established in Georgia
without delay, when the State Granges will be
formed. We shall therefore soon see the institu
tion in practical operation, when all can jndge as
to whether organization among tbe farmers will
work to their advantage as ia expected.
Retirid.—On the 10th Inst, the official connec
tion of Captain A. J. White, as President of the
Macon and Western railroad, ceased. The road
now being part of the Central, the office of Presi
dent is abolished.
In this severance of a long and intimate con
nection with the Macon and Western, and associa
tion with the citizens and business men along its
line, Ex-President White will carry with him the
best wishes of all. Asa railroad manager he had
no superior, and tbo fact was attested by tbe suc
cessful conduct of a heavy business during a series
of years, attended with fewer accidents and delays
than can be shown by tbo record of any road in
the South, of equal length. The loug continued
success of the road, both in this respect and the
pecuniary results to stockholders, was mainly due
to the watchfulness and prudence of the Execu
tive.
Mr. White, we learn, will give his attention to
prosecuting the new road from Griffin westward.
It has already been completed a short distance
beyond the Chattahoochee, and the energy of
Capt,. W. will speedily complete it. In the mean
time his favorito home, Milner, will continue to
receive his attention.
>*, .
Personals.— Rev. W. C. Wilkes, of Bpaldlng,
Ga., is again among his old friends and neighbors
in Foisytb. He reports his institution in a
flourishing condition, and prosperous.
Dr. A. C. Hornady aud iamily have again
located in Forsyth. The educational advantages
of Forsyth, added to the lame of the locality for
health, caused this acquisition.
On Tuesday last Capt. R. W. Hogan closed bia
winter campaign in the South, and lelt for business
in New York. In either position he is a host.
Mr. I. W. Thomas bid good bye to his Forsyth
triends ou Sunday morning, and lelt, ticketed for
New York. Mr. Thomas will soon be ready to
greet his many friends in the mercantile metro
polis.
Mr J. W. Lake, our efficient Railroad Agent,
ia quite 111. Capt. A. H. Sneed ia officiating at
tbe Depot.
Jndge D. Sanford is also qnite sick. Mrs. 8. Is
Improving, but is still confined to her room.
An Etb Sorb.— The condition of the fence
around the public square is eliciting condemna
tion from the public, and we have frequently
been asked to call tbe attention ot the authorities
to it. Avery trifling outlay will place tbe enclo
sure in as good couditiou as it was before the fire.
We suggest, therefore, that whoever of our new
officials may have control of the public properly,
shall cause tbe raally insignificant repairs that
are necessary to be made before court assembles
on Monday next. It has been neglected too long
already, yet there Is ample time to repair all that
is necessary before strangers now have an oppor
tunity of seeing that which might serve to con
vince them that there was no pride of locality in
Forsyth or Monroe county.
Our Reading Columns.— We invite attention
to the large amount of reading matter in onr col
umns this morning. We have dropped all adver
tisement* that were not remunerative at full rates,
and shall refuse such hereafter, in order to give
our readers as much space as possible. Our de
termination is to render The Advertiser deserv
ing of a large list of paying subscribers, and
believe they will be secured. It not it certainly
shall not be the fault of the Publishers.
Good.— The Savannah News gives anew shading
to the accident to a party of Monroe youngsters,
we reported last week. It says:
The members of a serenading party In Monroe
county are now engaged in searching themselves
for squirrel shot, with which they were peppered
by a negro who took them for Ku-klux.
The Patriot thinks lands in Pike are rising in
value, and of a late transfer says: “ One
hundred and ninety acres of land was sold last
Saturday by W. H. Keifer for $4,825. Pike lands
are rising in value. Before the war these lands
would have been high at sl9 per acre. Now they
are valued at $25 per acre.”
At Wore.—The Atlanta Herald commends the
vim of onr next Congressman by saying:
Hon. J. C. Freeman, is busily engaged in look
ing after the interests of the district He will
recommend no bad or unworthy man to office.
He has an Augean stable to clean and we feel
confident that he will perform his work. We dif
fer with him politically but confide in his hon
esty.
Exciting. —The excitement ot the past week
was an organ grinder, with a number of wonder
fully well trained birds, all of which performed
well as directed. Everybody took a look, and the
master of ceremonies gathered in no ama.li amount
of stamps.
Th* Sabbath. —Owing to the inclemency of the
weather on Sabbath morning the congregations in
tbe cbnrcbe* were very small. The service* were
conducted in the Methodist Church by Rev. J.
Lewis, tbe Presiding Elder of tbe District. He
discoursed for a short time on the text “ God is
Lave; and he that dweileth in love dwelleth in
God and God in him 1 John, lv. 18.
At night tbe services were condncted by the
pastor. His text was chosen from the gospel of
St. John, xiv. 6—“ lam the way.” He showed
his congregation that Jesus Christ is the way to
the Father and the only way. “That no man
cometh unto the Father but by Him." He, as the
Great Teacher, taught the way to eternal life per*
fectly. That He Is the way and the only way, as
tbe Sacrifice and as High Priest of fallen humanity.
He not only teught the way perfectly snd prepared
for ue “anew and living way” by his atonement,
as our High Priest, but He led the way by bis ex*
ample and commands us to follow Him. At this
point the preacher showed in whet Christ’s exam*
pie, to us, consists, and how we are to follow
Him, and the necessity of doing so in order to
find eternal life. So that if any man desires to be
saved he must obey the teachings of the Master;
he must rely upon His atonement for pardon, and
follow this example of universal obedience to the
will of the Father—then he shall be saved.
There were no services at the Presbyterian
•hureh Babbath morning. Rev. Dr. Jones filled
tbe pulpit at night, discoursing from I Kings,
xxL 18.
Rev. Dr. Hillyer occupied the pnlpit of the
Baptist church, and lectured upon the Parable of
the Husbandmen and Vineyard, forcibly present
ing the negligence of professing Christians In aid
ing the missionary cause. At night Rev. Wm. C.
Wilkes conducted the services, discoursing from
the second chapter of Daniel.
m
A Cheap Greenhouse.— The agricultural edi
tor of the Mobile Register says: Rev. Dr. Cox, of
Citronelle, has put an experiment to the test this i
winter that is certainly worth reading about and i
remembering. He dug a hole into the ground
measuring about four feet in depth, four feet in
width, and six teet in length. Into this, resting
upon low benches along the sides, he placed bis
tender plants and flowers, and over them, at the
surface of tbe ground, he placed * canvas cover
ing, stretched upon a wooden frame, aud affixed
with hinges so that it might be raised or lowered
at pleasure, as the prevailing weather demanded.
His plants have kept to perfection through all
this severe weather, and now, at this writing, his
geraniums and other tender species are in full
bloom, and show a better thrift than the best
specimens of a well-kept Btove bouse.
After this we of the lower South have no longer
an excuse for winter without a hot house. The
cost of one made on the doctor’s plan is hardly
nominal. Common brown sheeting is all we re
quire for the covering—in the doctor’s experi
ment he used simply an old bed sheet.
Judge Hall.— After observation the Griffin
Star of the 14th speaks in terms of strong praise
of Jndge Hall, as follows:
Onr new Judge has been holding court here for
the last two weeks, and we are glad to say he is
giving general satiafactilon to the bar and citizens.
He presides with dignity; dispatches business
rapidly, and decides all lege] points readily. He
seems determined to have the criminal law exe
cuted and violations duly punished. We are sat
isfied he will make a good officer and we are glad
to see it as we always like to 6ee young men rise
in the world, and we are ready and willing to do
all we can to help them. The above are not only
our views of the new Judge, but they are the
sentiments of almost the entire community.
Died: In Macen, ou the 29th ult., Mr. Geo.
Slaughter, aged 30 years.
Mr. Slaughter was formerly associated with Mr.
Palethorpe in business in Forsyth, but retired a
few mouths since. Iu this community he made
many friends. His business in Macon was
conducted with an energy and promptness
which secured him an enviable position in busi
ness circles. His death was sudden and unexpect
ed. After visiting tbe eatly trains, on his return
home he was visited with a fainting sickness, and
in a few hours was a corpse. He left a wife and
two children to mourn his departure. In their
grief they have the sympathies of many friends of
their “ loved snd lost.”
♦* - 1 ■
To Correspondents.— We suggest to the many
gentlemen In Monroe and elsewhere who have
heretofore so ably contributed to The Adver
tiser, that itslcolumns are still open for articles
discussing questions of public interest, and com
munications are respectfully invited. The only
requisite is that matter for publication shall be
couched in language respectful to all, and the
author’s name be sent in. We are confident there
are many gentlemen whose opinions would have
weight with the general public, and would be
pleased to bear from them.
Gardening.— But little gardening has been
done iu this vicinity, much less than usual at this
season. The winter has been extremely unfavora
ble. As bad weather cannot last always, and
something more seasonable must occur, we ex
pect to see everybody busily at work as soon as
the weather will permit. Forsyth hag come noted
gardeners, who rarely if ever fail In making a
good garden, and although they are now behind
a little, the exercise of a little more energy at
the proper time will bring them up.
The World almanac.—” The World Alma
nac," lor 1873, issued by tbe New York World
publishers, has been received. This is one of the
most complete statistical publications issued by
the press of the metropolitan cities, and ia well
worth its coat to every politician aud business
man in the country. Twenty*flve cents will Becure
a copy, postage paid, or $1 00 five copies. Address
The World, 35 Park Row, New York.
Girl Shot.— Yesterday a little colored girl aged
six years, daughter of Abb. Watts, was accident
ally shot and seriously wounded. The mother
had taken a pistol from nnder a pillow, and
handed It to an older girl with instructions to
place it in the trnnk. While handling it the
weapon exploded, and the ball struck the younger
child just above the breast bone, aud entering, it
is supposed cut the wiudpipe. The wound is a
serious one.
Hbayt Rains.— During Friday night, Saturday
and Saturday night, thia section was visited by
the heaviest rain storm of the season. The rain
fell uninterruptedly and Old Sol kept hid until
Bnnday. Most of the small streams could not be
forded Saturday evening, and we learn Wilson’s
bridge over the Towaliga, whs nnder the flood
Sunday.
Fixing O. —We notice a small force at work
repairing the streets and walks, under the di
rection of the Council. There are a few spots
about town that need work sadly, and the au
thorities will please the public by pushing the
work energetically.
In Season. —Dealers in groceries, etc., will
find the card of Messrs. Chapman, Rucker and
Cos., Atlanta, In this issue. This House Is
represented by Mr. D. J. Proctor, one of themoet
popular travelling agents in the South.
Hardware.— The wholesale house of Messrs.
Tommey, Stewart & Cos., presents a card to day
This is one of the leading firms, in their line, in
the Gate City, and we commend them to the
notice of dealers.
Rsal Estatb Transpxb.— We learn that Mr.
E. M. Amos has purchased from Rev. W. C. Wilkes
the store room on Main Street, opposite Thb
Advertiser building, now occupied by K. M.
Amos & Sons.
Tnta. —ErLawshe, the old reliable jeweller of
Atlanta, has a word to say. His old customers
will ask no Indorsement of him or his business;
others can call upon him with confidence.
Getting Rradt.— Mr. 8. F. Wilder expects to
leave for Hew York in a few days to select and
purchase a full stock in the several branches of
his basin ess.
Selling On.—Mr. W. W. Anderson has told
his stock of dry goods, and a half Interest in his
Store House, to Mr. John A. Steele, of Cabaniae.
P extensions.—Barnesville boasts of having
been visited by a band of burglars last week.
County Correspondence.
Is it Truk*— Editor Advertiser: Id noticing
passing events generally, I have formed som*
conclusions; whether right or wrorg, I have my
opinion of them, as do others.
First, our Governor shall be obeyed, and su
preme in his appointments as our Governor; and
lo and behold! a Democrat at that Well,
Bullock was once our Governor ; made his
appointments, too, as he thought proper. And in
both cases they appointed to office their specials.
If in one instance right, it Is also right in the
other. So here we are. Now my opinion is, in
days past Governors were the representatives of
the people and the State—not their favorites. Bo
they made their appointments, and if their per
sonal friends would not do, or fill the bill, some
other would with credit to the State. Not him
that stands up lo me I will to him, competent or
not. If that is true Democracy I never knew it
before. But as the negro said the bottom rail Is
on top,” so it may be; I will leave it there now.
Is not our much exalted Legislature acting ou
the same principles * And with the same example
before them could we expect anything better ? is
not our Supreme Court fettered by such move
ments ?
Who are the beneficiaries of our great relief
law * Is it the poor soldier from Virginia (as
stated by our noble Senator a few days ago,) or is
it tbe kid gloved gentry who were involved before
the war, and would have swept all, to have can
celled their indebtedness ? No ; tbe poor soldier
is made their pry block to relieve their embarrass*
ments, and lift them to office, while the soldier
is benefited but little, as he has neither credit,
old debts and less money. Such a system woulld
have been considered a fraud in the “so called”
dark ages. If this is the influence of Bullock’s
reign, why has it not been repealed under the
light of Democracy ?
Is it not the true policy of individuals or gov
ernments to decrease expenditures, and iuertsse
the assets, to enable them to paj ? list this been
done* No honorable, sane man, looking at the
past, will wi’l be surprised at the present condi
tion of the country, while indolence, extravagance
and dishonesty has prevailed.
If the fountains and springs are impure, may
we not expect the miasma to exert it’s bane
ful influence abroad? So much for a random
shot with a crooked bow, half loaded, and no
powder. Very respectfully, Luke.
The New Orleans Times says: Some ingenious
speculator has, we understand, been Imposing on
the people of Georgia by distributing blank tickets
to our approaching Mystic Crewe and King of the
Carnival celebrations. As aet none of tha genuine
ticeets have been districted, aue the blanks thus
circulated will continue blanks to the bitter end.
Whether as a hoax or a fraud, this blank ticket
business is not creditable to its authors.
The Princess of Wales set the fashion of great
simplicity in her boys’ toilett—her fair, pretty
little princes are always costumed with the Neat
ness and quietness which are inseparable from ele
gance and taste. A bright colored bow at their
necks is the nearest approach to ornament their
dresses ever add to their simple toilettes for any
public appearance.
By the Constitution of Saturday we find that
General Toombs is so decidedly against the com
promise that he desires a constitutional prohibi
tion adopted. He is “ intense” on tbe subject, as
he always is on any subject that he takes an inter
est in. Hon. John Screven, of Savannah, follows
in the wake of Ex-Governor Brown.
The thriftiest woman lives at Niles, Michigan.
She is worth $20,000, and yet bartered with the
undertaker for one coffin for a dead child, and an
other for one sick at the time. She took both at
one time for the sake of saving a little ou the coßt.
It is needless to say that the second child died.
A Resolution providing for the appointment of
a committee of twenty-one persons by the Gov
ernor to consider the feasibility of consolidating
the various colleges of the State with the State
University, to report at the next session of the
Legislature, has passed the Legislature.

The St. Petersburg Globe says : “ Those who
believe that the Marchioness de Caux (Adelina
Patti) is wealthy, are greatly mistaken. Nearly
her whole fortune has been swallowed up by the
creditors of her husband, who, when he married
the lady, represented himself as a very wealthy
man, but afterward turned out to be little better
than a beggar.”
We notice that the Senate, on motion of Mr
Simmons, has passed an appropriation of SIB,OOO
for 3000 copies of the code, purchased by the
State from Judge Irwin. There is snug picking,
almost a little fortune, for somebody, in that job.

One of the Washington specials to a contempo

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Wht Endure What is Curable? “What
can’t bo cured must be endured,” Bays the prov
erb; but indigestion can be cured, and therefore
it ia the merest stupidity to endure it. Dyspeptics
have certainly a right to continue dyspeptics to
the end of their days it they choose, but as it is
not supposed that any human being prefers physi
cal torment to ease and health, the probability is
that if all sufferers from indigestion were con
vinced that an abeolute, infallible remedy for their
complaint existed, they would with one accord
resort to it' We most emphatically declare that
such a remedy does exist, and that its name is
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. The record of its
success extends over a period of twenty years, and
it is fearlessly alleged that during the whole of
that time it has never failed to afford permanent
relief in any disorder or derangement of the
stomach that was not organic, malignant, and in
curable. The testimonials that go to establish this
important fact can be coanted by the thousand.
Stomach complaints that had been aggravated
by a total disregard of all dietary rules, and inten
sified and rendered chronic by medicinal treat
ment or drastic purgation have in hnndreds of
instances been cured within three months by the
systematic use of this celebrated stomachic and
alterative. It should be remembered that weak
ness of the organs involves many other ailments.
Biliousness, headache, nervous debility, spasms,
palpitation of the heart, rush of the blood to the
head, nausea, vertigo, and sleeplessness are among
Its concomitants and resulta; and for all these the
great vegetable tonic is a specific. It acts first
upon the secretory and nervous systems and bow
els, its general effect being always genial and
beneficent
A Warxixg. —There is no case of Con
sumption that did not begin with a cough. There
fore the slightest Cold or Cough should receive
immediate attention. Take at once the remedy of
the age. Dr. Tntt’s Expectorant, and thereby save
years of suffering; perhaps life itself.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 31,1870.
Dr. Ifm. H. Tuit; Dear Sir—My little son, aged
about three years, was attacked with pneumonia
last winter, which left him with a violent cough,
that lasted till within about a month since, for
the cure of which I am indebted to you and your
valuable Expectorant. I had tried most every
kind of medicine recommended for coughs, bat
none did any good until I tried your Expectorant,
one bottle of which removed the cough entirely.
With many thanks for your valuable preparation,
I am, yours truly, JOHN M. WEIGLE.
The Oxlt Remedy. —Those who suffer from
foul breath are open to the charge of carelessness.
It is an offense that can be speedily abated, as a
single bottle of the fragrant Sozodont will unmis
takably accomplish the work. No toilet table
should be without it It preserves and keeps the
teeth white, and the breath pure, and sweet
