Eczema!
The Only Cure.
Eczema is more than a skin disease,
and no skin remedies can cure it. The
doctors are unable to effect a cure, and
their mineral mixtures are damaging
to the most powerful constitution. The
whole trouble is in the blood, and
Swift’s Specific is the only remedy
which can reach such deep-seated blood
diseases.
Eczema broke out on my daughter, and eon-
Untied to spread until
her head was entirely
covered. She was treated
by several good doctors,
but graw worse, and the
dreadful disease spread
to her face. Bhe was
taken to two celebrated '■
health springs, but re
celvedno benefit. Many-
patent medicines were taken, but without re
sult, until we decided to try 8. S. s.,andtay the
time the first bottle was flnishqj}, her h«M be
gan to h*al. A doeen bottles cured her com
pletely arid left hdr skin perfectly smooth. She
is now sixteen years old, and has a magfli fltent
growth of hair. Not a sign of the dreaafu)
isease hag ever returned.

THE
DEEPENING
-■
. BRUNSWICK
HARBOR.
No improvement could be undertaken by the govern
ment which would result in as much benefit to the entire South as
the work of deepening the harbor of Brunswick. The advantages of
throwing open this port, and making it accessible to the large trading
ships, practically bringing the markets of the world to our doors,
can not be estimated.
This undertaking, resulting in so much benefit, was necessarily
one full of difficulties —in fact the task was a stupendous one, and
its successful accomplishment reflects credit upon Colonel C. P.
Goodyear, the well-known Georgian, of Brunswick, who had entire
charge of the work. Under recent date he writes:
“Several years ago, after a trip North 1 had a severe attack of Rheumatism,
which rendered me perfectly helpless, and after weeks of excruciating
suffering, without help from the many remedies prescribed, my life was
despaired of by my family and attending physicians. I was finally induced
to try S. S. S. and was speedily restored to perfect health.”
Most people continue to suffer from Rheumatism because they do
not know just what the disease is, and hence do not take the right
treatment. Rheumatism is an acid condition of the blood; a real
blood remedy, therefore, is the only treatment that can reach the
disease. All the liniments, ointments and salves in the world can
have no effect. S. S. S. is the only cure for Rheumatism, because it
is the only blood remedy made which is absolutely free from potash
and mercury, dangerous minerals which only intensify the disease.
No case is too obstinate for S. S. S. to cure.

Gunners' Patron Saint.
Why was St. Barbara chosen to be
the patron saintess of all gunners? It is
one of those things which are to be
known and which one ought to know,
but does not. Meanwhile there is the
fact that she does intercede for all gun
ners by land or sea. In the old French
r#vy the Ste. Barbe was the gun
room. and the name may be found with
that meaning attached to it in all dic
tionaries. Moreover, in France she is
the saint not only of gunners, but of all
fire brigades. The sapeurs pompiers,
who, for some mysterious reason, are a
regular chopping block for jokes, hold
their holiday on the day of her feast. —

THE “GREEN RAY.”
To Be Seen Frequently at the Delta
of the Xile.
The “green ray, ” an optical phenom
enon which has been made the founda
tion of a story by Jules Verne, is a
flash of greenish light seen as the limb
of the sun rises or sets under certain
conditions of the atmosphere. The sea
horizon is good for observing but
the effect is occasionally seen in the Alps
or other mountains, and, according to
Piot Bey in a paper to the Academic des
Sciences, Paris, it is often to be observ
ed in Egypt from the point of the del
ta to Alexandria or Suez, either at rise
or set of snn.
The ray is distinctly visible, and al
ways of an emerald green, which is
brighter as a rule at sunrise than sun
set. At sunset, when the eye can follow
the effect better, the ray sometimes ap
pears longer and ultimately takes a blue
tinge. This blue ray has also been ob
served preceding the “green ray” at sun
rise, for example, by Mr. William Gaff,
near the ruins of Memphis, not far from
the stepped pyramid of Saggarah. He
even thinks the ancient Egyptians were
familiar with it, because in monuments
of the fifth dynasty and others the sign
of “Kha,” representing the rising sun,
has the outer streak of a blue color and
the two inner streaks are green. Their
writings also speak of the greenness of
the sun on rising, and they liken it to
an emerald.
It is evident from all this that the
“green ray” is an objective, not a sub
jective, phenomenon, and that the hori
zon of the sea has nothing to do with it.
Nevertheless, the state of the atmos
phere evidently has to do with it, and
that of Egypt, ordinarily pure, seems to
have much, for the ray is seldom seen
elsewhere on land.
Jugglers of Indin.
Two men—one old and emaciated,
carrying a native drum ; the other young
and well fed, fantastically gowned with
an overskirt of colored handkerchiefs,
and a multitude of bells which jangle
noisily at his slightest movement; long,
ragged hair; altogether a hideous figure.
The drummer begins a weird tomtom
ing and the other man an incantation.
Then he extends a “supra”—a bamboo
tray used by all natives—on which any
one who pleases places a large handful
of rice and the same quantity of grain.
The two ingredients are thoroughly
amalgamated, so that it would in the
ordinary way take hours to separate
them.
Now the fantastic man with his tray
begins. He turns round slowly, gradu
ally quickening his pace (the drummer
also keeping time), faster and faster in
a giddy vortex, the tray at times almost
out of his hands, yet so cleverly handled
that not a grain falls out. It is very
trying to watch, but in a couple of
minutes both stop simultaneously, and
the man shows to the wondering spec
tators two little heaps—one of rice and
the other grain—at different ends of the
tray, which in his sickening gyrations
he has been able to separate by some
extraordinary manipulation.—Pearson’s
Weekly.

The Importance of Informing the Public
of the Value of an Article Through
the Leading Newspapers.
The few remedies which have attained
to world-wide fame, as truly beneficial in
effect and giving satisfaction to millions
of people everywhere, are the products of
the knowledge of the most eminent
physicians, and present in the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skill of the world’s great chemists; and
one of the most successful examples in
the Syrup of Figs manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host
of imitations and cheap substitutes,
Sytup of Figs is permanently beneficial
in its effets, and therefore lives and pro
motes good health, while inferior prepar
ations are being cast aside and forgotten.
In olden times if a remedy gave tem
porary relief to individuals here and
there, it was thought good; but uow
a-days a laxative remedy must give sat
isfaction to all. If you have never used
Syrup of Figs, give it a trial, and you
will be pleased with it, and will recom
mend it to your friends or to any who
suffer from constipation, or from over
feeding, or from colds, headaches,
billiousness, or other ills resulting from
an inactive condition of the kidnejs,
liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination of plat-ts
known to be medicinally laxative and to
act most beneficially, as the true and
original remedy, named Syrup of Figs, is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact
will assist in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The Company has selected for
years past the leading publications of the
United States through which to inform
the public of the merits of its remedy,
and among them the Eagle is included,
as will be seen by reference to its

A Romance of A. H. Stephen’s Life.
In one of the early years of the
40’s Mr. Stephens, then a young man,
paid a visit to the home of Dr. Dar
den, in Warren county. There he
met a flaxen-haired, blue-eyed girl of
sixteen, beautiful in face and lovely
in charactar, piquant, witty and"
gifted with mind rarely cultivated.
An attachment grew up, which for
years did not pass the formal bounds
of friendship, but which was sacredly
cherished by both. The boy lover
was poor in this world’s goods, frag
ile in frame and harassed by sickness;
he did not dare to the band
of one whom he had learned to love
and yet forebore to claim. With
womanly devotion the young girl
read the secret in the young man’s
eyes, and true to her heart she could
only wait and love.
One evening in 1849 a party was
given at the residence of Mr. Little
in Crawfordville. There the two
met once more, there they enjoyed
that sweet communion born of per
fect trust, and there Mr. Stephens
found courage to speak the words
which for years had fought for ex
pression until at last he could no
longer contain them.
Are you sure that there lives none
other whom you prefer to me?” asked
the maiden timidly, half shrinkingly,
yet only too happy to feel that she
was favored in his eyes.
“In the whole universe theie exists
not another,” said he passionately.
Thus their troih was plighted, the
day set for their marriage and ail
seemed auspicious for the lovers.
But clouds lowered o’er their hopes,
matters of a private nature which are
not within the domain of the public
to know intervened and deferred the
fruition of their hopes. The one be
came immersed in politics, and racked
with physical ills, hesitated to enter a
state where be feared the happinesr
of the other might be marred. The
lady found her duty by the side of sl
invalid mother, who long lingered
with a confining disease. Thus the
years flew by but the plighted truth
was kept. Mr. Stephens never
addressed another and ever kept the
image of the fair young girl in bis
heart. The lady was the recipient of
admiration from many, but to all she
turned a deaf ear.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE
RAVAGES OF THIS AWFUL PEST
IN GEORGIA AND HOW IT
MAY BE CHECKED.
ANSWERS TO MANY INQUIRIES
Department of Agriculture Supplies
Information ou Subjects of
Interest to Farmers.
Question. —Is the San Jose scale more
dangerous in the south than at the
north?
Answer.—This pest is much more de
structive in the south than at the north,
owing to the longer breeding and feed
ing season afforded it by the southern
climate. In Georgia, the scale lies dor
mant only about two months —from
Dec. 15 to Feb. 15—leaving it ten
months in the year in which to multiply
at a very rapid rate, and prosecute its
destructive work of sapping the life of
the tree. Even during the dormant pe
riod there come days warm enough to
revive the insects and set them to breed
ing again.
In January, 1898, infested peach twigs
were received from Danville, Ga., on
which living young were crawling pro
fusely. On Feb. 14, 1899, specimens
were received at this office from Cairo,
Ga., and upon examination they were
found to be breeding. On March 8, 1898,
I inspected an orchard in South Georgia
and found the scale breeding freely ou
pl.um trees. From this almost incessant
breeding and feeding it can be readily
understood that the San Jose scale is
more dangerous in southern climates
than at the north, where the period of
its destructive work is cut short by the
cold of winter.
Again, the peach trees being more
susceptible to injuries of any kind than
almost any other orchard tree, a*A since
the peach is the principal fruit grown
in this state, we suffer more from the
ravages of the scale than other states
that grow apples and* other fruits that
are more resistant.
With us peach trees are entirely killed
in two seasons after they are first at
tacked. On April 30, 1898, I inspected
an orchard of 1,000 3-year peach trees
at Pine City, Ga., and after careful
search found only six trees infested
with the San Jose scale. No treatment
was applied to this orchard, and on
Nov. 16 of the same year I visited it
again, and found one-third of the trees
entirely crusted ever with the scale and
in a dying condition.
In view of these facts, with other
similar cases, we must conclude that
the San Jose scale is much more de
structive in the southern states than at
the north. —State Entomologist.
Raising “Broom Corn.”
Question. I have decided to grow
"broom corn’’ for the market.
Please give me all the infor
mation along this line possible.
Answer.—This plant is a variety of
"sorghum," and a native of the East
Indies. The introduction of this plant
is attributed to Dr. Franklin, who, find
ing a seed on a whisk broom that had
been imported, planted it, and from this
originated the culture of "broom corn"
in the United States. The average pro
duct of brush per acre is about 500
pounds. There has been produced from
very fine soil and locality as high as
J,OOO pounds per acre.
As there seems to be no substitute for
broom corn brush, there is always a de
mand for it, and it is a crop that can be
easily cultivated. It is a profitable due
for the farmers to raise in those sections
to which it is well adapted.
The seed make very good food for
horses wtien mixed with oats. It is
also fine food for poultry after the
chicks are two or three weeks old, when
fed with other food. When ground
with our common Indian corn in pro
portion to three bushels of broom corn
to one of Indian corn, it makes good
food for cattle, hogs or sheep.
Generally speaking, broom corn grows
best where our native corn grows best,
and the preparation of the land is similar
to that for corn. Good river or branch
bottom land is best suited to this plant;
but any good land well drained will,
with barnyard manure, or a good fer
tilizer, make a good yield. The better
plan is to broadcast the manure, plow
and harrow the same so as to pulverize
the soil thoroughly. Plant in the drill
or in hills. The rows may be from
three to four feet, according to the va
riety to be grown; the dwarf varieties
in three feet rows and the larger varie
ties in four feet rows. The hills may
be two or three feet apart. When the
seed are sound and well-ripened, two
quarts will be sufficient to plant one
acre. Be sure to get good seed. You
can use the seed drills that will plant
small seed, or if only a few acres are to
bo planted, you can plant with the
hand. The cultivation is similar to
that of corn, only you have to use more
care and skill because of the smallness
of the plant. Thinning should be done
when the plants are two or three inches
high, leaving five or six in the hill, or if
drilled, the stalks should be left three or
four inches apart.
As to the harvesting and curing of
the broom corn, I will take pleasure in
advising you later if you desire such in
formation.—State Agricultural Depart
ment.
Georgia’s First Cetton Mill.
Question.—Can you tell me where
the first cotton mill was established in
Georgia, also give me any information
touching the early manufactories and
the progress of the same in Georgia ?
Answer.—The first factory estab
lished in Georgia was built on the Oco
nee river, 4 miles below Athens, in the
year 1827. This enterprise proved suc
cessful, and was soon after followed by
many others in the same county (Clarke)
and in Green, Richmond and other coun
ties. From small beginnings these en
terprises have in late- years developed to
considerable magnitude, and with a pe
cuniary success that points to them as
agents of a most prosperous era in the
history of our state. The splendid wa
ter powers of the Savannah at Augusta,
and the Chattahoochee at Columbus,
could not long fail to attract the atten
tion of a people alive to their own inter
est and to the general welfare. Georgia
has great advantages in this respect
ever the New England states, which
have heretofoib manufactured most of
the American cotton and wool fabrics,
but the dawn of a brighter day has set
in, and we see from year to year capital
coming this way to our beautiful south
land. Manufacturers are now convinced
that the place to manufacture cotton
is on the ground floor where the cotton
is grown and produced, and sooner or
later, the whir of the cotton spindle
will be heard from the top of every moun
tain, as well as from every valley in our
beautiful Empire state of the south.
Here, we have no need of the middle
man or transportation Wages are much
less here than iu the New England
states, the cost of wa:er and steam
power is less, building material of every
kind is less, living expenses are less and
the climate is more favorable. The wheels
are seldom clogged or obstructed by ice,
the consumers of our products are at our
own doors,a nd for these reasons alone the
manufacturer of cotton must and will

Spraying For the Pest.
Question. —Owing to the continued
rains, I have been unable to spray a sin
gle tree since Christmas. How late can
I spray for the San Jose scale, and must
the per cent of oil be diminished as the
buds advance?
Answbr. —Twenty-five per cent of
kereoseno i» the strength to be used
against the San Jose scale during the
dormant period, and this can be used iu
the spring until the fruit buds begin to
open. In the spring when the tree be
gins to grow it is even in better condi
tion to resist the ill effects of the kereo
sene. It is invigorated and enabled to
throw off the oil that might penetrate
the bark. It is not safe, however, to
spray with any per cent while the trees
are in full bioom. The kereosene would
burn the petals and injure the fruit.
After the bloom is shed the spraying
can be continued with a 15 per cent
mixture. A greater per cent would
likely burn the tender foliage. The 15
per eent strength will kill a large per
cent of the scale and check its ravages
to a great extent. If the orchard has re
ceived the 25 per cent winter treatment,
however, it should not be necessary to
commence the summer treatment so
early. Every favorable day up to the
blooming period should be utilized in
spraying infested trees with the 25 per
cent mixture. It is important that
bright, sunshiny days be selected to ap
ply the treatment, otherwise the eril
may penetrate the bark of the trees and
injure them before evaporating.—State
Entomologist.
Spring and Summer Farage.
Question. The unprecedented fall
and winter prevented the farmers from
saving forage and sowing grain crops.
What shall we do for spring and sum
mer forage?
Answer.—lt is not too late to sow
the Burt or the White oat—can sow on
good lands (branch bottoms and well
manured plots) until March 11 with fair
success, but advise that farmers
should not depend entirely on oats for
forage. Our plan would be to plant
sorghum, (Early Amber is best) millet,
(German and Oattail) milo maize, Kaf
fir corn, whippoorwill peas, popcorn
and the early varieties of Indian corn,
on land thoroughly prepared and highly
manured with lot and stable manure or
good commercial fertilizers that con
tain 2 or 3 per cent of ammonia, so as
to rush the crops and afford plenty of
stalk and foliage. The crops should be
harvested when they are in the dough,
cured as hay and fed to stock as hay or
fodder; or can be cut earlier and fed as
green stuff. After cutting off the crop
then plant peas, either in drill or broad
cast, and thus renew the fertility of the
land as well as produce provender for
another year.—State Agricultural De
partment.
A NATURAL SOLDIER.
Lieutenant Colonel Forrest,t« Wheat
War Meant Killing.
Soldier by nature, from earliest boy
hood at home on horseback, with firm,
erect and easy seat, rode at the head of
the column an ideal of the beau sabreur
From beneath the wide and slightly up
turned brim of the soft felt hat. which
bore no tawdry plumes, the large, deep
set blue eyes were peering with more
than usual alertness. The look of kind
liness which came in moments of repose
or gentler mood was gone, and some
thing hard and almost savage had re
placed it. The broad, high forehead, the
shaggy brows, prominent cheek bones
and bold assertive nose told not only
the story of his Gaelic origin, but the
bulldog tenacity of the man.
About the ears and neck heavy half
curling tufts of deep black hair hung so
stiffly and stubbornly that they were
scarcely swayed by the strong, cold wind
which swept the snowflakes in minia
ture clouds from the tree tops and sent
them scurrying to the ground. The dark
mustache and heavy short chin beard
were gray with frozen moisture of the
expired air. The massive, firm set jaw
told of the strength of will which mas
tered all. The compressed lip and deep
flush of the face bespoke the bloody
business of the hour. Six feet and two
inches in stature, broad shouldered and
of athletic frame, well might one say
there was in him
A combination and a form indeed
Where every god did seem to set his seal
To give the world assurance of a man.
A plain caped overcoat of coarse, heavy
homemade gray, close buttoned to the
throat, reached amply beyond the knees.
About the waist, and buckled on the
outside for quick and ready use, there
was a broad black belt in which two
"navy sixes’’ showed and from which
hung that famous saber, heavy and long
and, against all military rules, ground
to a razor edge, and swinging froipoie
right side of the cavalier. No regulation
saber or school drilled swordsman, this
left handed scion of the American pio
neer, but in all our war there was none
other that did such bloody work. To his
crude and earnest mind "war means
fighting and fighting means killing.’’
He could cut or thrust deeper with a
sharp than with a dull sword, and if in
the melee he should happen to hit one
of his own, it was all intended for the
good of the cause. —"Lieutenant Colo

Sick Headache
from BalStomach.
From the Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio.
One day In the summer of 1895, Charles I.
Vogel was sitting on the front steps of his
home at No. 1513 Lorain Street, on the West
side, Cleveland, Ohio, the picture of misery.
He had spent a sleepless night. For six
months Charles Vogel had been a sufferer
from headaches of the most severe and ex
oruoiating character.
While he was preoccupied in this dis
heartening meditation some one with* pouch
strapped to his shoulder placed a pamphlet
in his hand. Mechanically Mr. Vogel began
turning the pages of the booklet. Suddenly,
however, his indifference was changed to
interest, and soon he was reading a few of
the testimonials of people who had found iu
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a cure for ills of
various kinds.
"Then I began to see if somebody had
used them for the same trouble from which
I was suffering." he went on to say “and I
found what I was looking for. The stories
seemed straightforward and full of sincerity
I had never heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills before but I determined to buy a box
of them, and went to the drug store and
made a purchase. It was the best investment
I ever made.
“The first pill did not cure me, nor did the
secoed ; but I had not been taking them for
* week before I began to feel better. I con
tinued to have the headaches which broke
my sleep and rest, but they were less violent
and lew frequent. At the end of two weeks
I was so much improved that I could not
but admit to myself that the little pills were
wonderful. Gradually the pain in my head
lessened, and at the end of a month it nearly
disappeared.
“ After taking the pills for a month I was
cured. That was a year ago, and I have not
suffered since.
dog 4 elected marshal.
A Four Footed Candidate That Polled
Thirty-one Votes Over His Opponent.
Forty years ago a man in Aurora,
Ind., owned a huge Newfoundland
that was known all over the town
by the name of Bob. The man was
Jim Kelso, a conspicuous charac
ter of those days. The dog pos
sessed wonderful sagacity and would
do almost anything within reason
that its master directed it to do, and
when told to "take him" would
throttle and down the strongest man
and hold its victim without harm
ing him seriously until ordered to
release him by its master.
. So great was the reputation of
this sagacious animal for police
duty that in the spring of 1859, at
the city election, the dog, under the
name of Bob Kelso, was voted for
at the polls and beat for the office
of city marshal Clint Theetge, the
principal candidate, by a majority
of 31 votes. Old Captain Weaver
and several other wealthy citizens
of that period promptly proposed to
have the dog properly invested with
the rights of the office to which such
a decisive majority had duly de
clared at regular election a prefer
ence for over its human competitor
and prepared in legal form an offi
cial bond in the sum of $50,000,
signed by numerous sportive parties
and with a certificate from the elec
tion board, that Bob had received a
majority of 31 votes over Candidate
Theetge.
They presented themselves before
Mayor Starks, with the dog wearing
an officer’s star on its breast and
carrying in its mouth the official
bond, certificate of election, etc., and
then, ordering the canine to stand on
its hind feet and hold up its right
paw in position to take the oath of
office, requested the mayor to swear
the animal to faithfully discharge
the duties for which it had been
elected, as required by law.
The mayor refused, regarding the
proceedings as a joke,but the backers
eff the brute asserted their sincerity
in the matter and insisted that the
dog be recognized as the city mar
shal, or they would defeat the may
or for re-election. The determina
tion of the parties kept his honor in
a quandary for several days until
Theetge could Invoke the aid of the
law to put him in the position, but
he afterward became so disgusted
over the affair that he resigned and
moved to Missouri and died there
soon after.
- Kelso met with misfortune and
committed suicide and the dog be
came the property of Tom Wain
scott, who enlisted in the army at
the breaking out of the war and
made a gallant soldier of the Eight
eenth Indiana volunteers. Wain
scott took the dog to the war with
him, and whether on the march, in
the camp or amid the thunders of
battle he was never separated from
his four footed companion.
At the battle of Pea Ridge Tom
Wainscott was shot to death. The
next day when the detachment of
soldiers sent to bury the dead ap
peared on the sanguinary field they
found the devoted animal standing
guard by the side of its lifeless
master, and no efforts could induce
it to leave the body or allow any
one to touch it.
Finally a soldier seized hold of
the corpse to drag it away when the
dog attacked him with such ferocity
that his comrades, in fear of his
life, ran it through with their bayo
nets to rescue him from his peril,
but in recognition of the undying
devotion of the faithful creature to
its dead master they buried it at his
feet in token of their respect for its
fidelity. Thus heroically perished
this brave brute, a martyr to its in
stincts of duty.— Cincinnati En

Lftiignage Study.
Broadly speaking, there are two
methods which are used for the teach
ing of a language—that of the mother
and that of the grammarian. The child
learns its own or mother tongue from
the mother. It learns a foreign tongue
from a teacher, whose highest ambition
is to be a grammarian. Does the child
learn better from the mother or from
the grammarian ? Without doubt, from
the mother, according to the mother
method.
If this is so, must we use the exam
ple of the mother or of the grammarian
when we are to begin the teaching of a
foreign language? Is there any reason
why a foreign tongue should be other
wise taught than the mother tongue? Is
it not at least worth the trouble to try
the method of the mother, when it is
every day demonstrated that pupils who
have had five, six, seven years of teach
ing are unable, on leaving school, so
much as to understand when the lan
guage they have been studying is used
in conversation? —Charlotte Taylor in
Popular Science Monthly.
“What wot the cause of those headaches!
you ask. They came from my stomach. It
was out of order, and so was my whole sys
tem. I was run down, but my stomach
caused me the most trouble. I am glad to
testify to the merit of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills because it is on account of the willing
ness of others to do the same that I am rid oi
a 'distressing malady, and it will give me
pleasure to know that my testimonial may
be the means of helping some one else."
Mr. Vogel is about twenty-three years old,
and is the son of Charles Vogel, a mason
contractor, with whom he makes his home.
The sale of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People is enormous. An analysis of their
properties shows that they contain, in a con
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and re
store shattered nerves. They art an unfail
ing specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the effect of la grippe, palpitation
of the heart, pale and sallow complexions,
that tired feeling resulting from nervous pros
tration; all diseases resulting from vitiated
humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic
erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for
troubles peculiar to femalea such as suppres
sions, irregularities and all forma as weak
ness. They build up the blood and restore
the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks.
In men they effect a radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork or ex
cesses of whatever nature. There are no ill
effects following the use of this wonderful
medicine, and it can be given to children with
perfect safety. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are
sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid
on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50, by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medi

Regardless of Age.
The kidneys are r< sponsible for more
sickness, suffering, and deaths than any
other organs of the body.
A majority of the ills afflicting people
to-day is traceable to kidney trouble. It
pervades all classes of society, in all
climates, regardless of age, sex or con
dition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu
laly ia, sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in
the back, a desire to urinate often day or
night, profuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing
poisoned and germ-filled blood. Some
times the heart acts badly, and tube
casts (wasting of the kidneys) are found
in the urine, which if neglected will re
sult in Bright’s Disease, the most dan
gerous form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Koot. It has a
world-wide reputation for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
No one need be long without it as it is
so easy to get at auy drug store at
