Mr. F. H. Goodman is or the same
opinion. He says:
Many physicians hold that there
is no such thing as a “broken” heart
no body ever died from that com
plaint. But the other day a man
faced a Chicago judge on the charge
of stealing his own daughter’s wed
ding finery in order to get money
to buy a drink. “You are the
prize man,” said the judge to
the prisoner. The man was fined
and taken to a cell. He sat down,
buried his face in his hands and be
gan to sob. “My own daughter,
too,” he was heard to murmur. His
grief continued. Late in the night
he tumbied to the floor of his cell
and died in a few minutes. “Heart
disease” was given as the cause of
his death. The lockup man thinks
it was a genuine case of broken
heart.
‘‘My little son had a very severe cold.
I was recommended to try Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy, and before a
small bottle was finished he was as well
as ever,” writes Mrs. H, Silks, 29 Dow
ling street, Sydney, Australia. This
remedy is for sale by all dealers.
A Mother’s Care-
A careful mother will not give her
child a medicine without knowing it is
pure, contains no opiates, and has heal
ing and curative qualities. Such a med
icine is Foley’s Honey and Tar Com
pound, for croup, whooping cough,
bronchitis, and all affections of the
throat, chest, and lungs. Best and
safest for children and grown persons.
Take no substitute. Dr. J. B. George.
Some suffragettes have learned
the lesson—and some have not—
fthat the best way to make men
do as women wish is not to hurl
rocks at them, and crush in then
hats and break windows in then
stores. That was a political mis
take on the part of the English sis
ters who are fighting for the ballots.
A smile beats a rock, and a few
soft, honeyed words can do more
damage to the wall that guards the
franchise than a mile of mashed
hats.
You will look a good while before
you find a better medicine tor coughs
and colds than Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. It not only gives relief —it
cures. Try it when you have a cough
or cold, and you are certain to be
pleased with the prompt cure which it*
will effect. For sale by all dealers.
W. A. Dodson, a well known citizen
of Dallas, Ga., is willing to tell what
Koley Kidney Pills have done for him
in order that others may benefit by his
experience. He writes: “I have been
a sufferer from kidney colic and got no
relief from medicine given me. I saw
Foley Kidney Pills advertised in “The
New Era” and began taking them,
and I find great relief and satisfaction
from their use. I have used two bot
tles, and they have benefited me more
r.han anything I have ever taken.” Dr.
J. B. George.
An E xample of Stern Bravado. I
For stern bravado, says the United
Service Magazine, it would be hard to
rival the feat of Ensign Gillis, who
saw a stray torpedo coming slowly,
but surely, toward the anchored tor
pedo boat Porter in the Spanish-
American war. He sprang overboard,
turned the nose of the torpedo in a
safer direction and screwed up the fir
ing pin tightly so that it would not
operate. Then, treading water, he
saluted Lieutenant Fremont and re
ported. "Sir. I have to report I have
captured a torpedo.” “Bring it on
board, sir.” commanded Fremont, and
Gillis actually did so. swimming with
it to the ship and fastening tackle
to it.
