September 17th, at Columbus, Ga., was sig
nalized by a somewhat romantic marriage.
Tiie bride, Miss Sallie Sammis, came all the
way from Ohio to meet the groom, Mr. F. B.
Snyder, of Mt. Pleasant, Fla. The ceremony
was performed at the Lawrence house at 7:30,
by Judge Barber. They had been sweethearts
for years, and the bride traveled all the way
from Ohio alone.
V
Mrs. G»uld, a rich widow of California, re
cently resolved to disinherit her daughter be
cause of her elopement. Soon afterward she
learned that the parents of the groom had
closed their doirs against the young couple.
She became angry at this, declaring that her
daughter was as good as any woman on earth,
and concluded by forgiving all, presenting the
bride and groom with a comfortable share of
her home and fortune.

At Hawkinsville, Ga , on the evening of the
20th, Mayor Jones J Joiner gave a party com
plimentary to his daughter, Mies Mollie, who
left the next day for Staunton, Va., to enter
college. It was a very pleasant affair. One
of Macon’s society young men was a centre of
attraction; be giving some sweet music and
good speagmg. and dancing the lamp figure to
perfection. He goes by the common name of
George A. Smith. Refreshments were served
in grand style and the happy hours passed
away too quickly for all.

The Morganton, N. C , ladies, learning that
the members or the Young Men's Christian
Association were in r.e d or funds to furnish
their room, at once went to work to devise a
plan by which to aid in raising funds; and as
might be expected, the Star says, they were
not long about it. A festival was proposed and
unanimously carried, ’d’hey gave a festival at
tbe town hall on the n g'it of the loib, which
was a graud sue it; s. A nice sum was raised
everybody enjoyed themselves, and the mem

coming to their relief; also to the public for the
liberal patronage given on this occasion.

The marriage ceremony of Miss Isabella
Mendenhall, of Greenesboro, and Mr. W. II.

Long before the lime appointed for the cere

ceremony had been performed, the happy
wedded pair remained a few moments in the
church to receive the congratulations and best
wishes of their many friends, then they re
paired to the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
Railroad station to take the train for Fayette

there was a very pleasant reception given to
the groomsmen and bridesmaids aud relatives

Styles a Cap-a-Pis.
Straw hats are giving way to the pretty sew
felts.
Steel gray mohair or alpaca dreaaes, for fall
traveling, are de riguer.
Belted corsages are very popular, and are the
embodiment of trimness when accurately fitted
over the watch spring a la spirite corset
Fancy, brilliant-headed hair pins of all kinds
from real diamonds to the poorest stones capa

Bronze house shoes and slippers, shown at
Ridley’s, are marvels of artistic foot gear.
Gold and steel bead embroideries, fancy
buckles, bows and laces embellish thess shoes,
which, in shape, style and finish are chic to a
degree.
The very slight draping which characterizes
many polonaises and overskirts is far more ef
fective if worn over the moderate-sized new
Can field-Langtry bustle than the extremely
bouffant effect so recently sought after.
This is to be a season of millineric splendor.
Combinations of color, tinsel, gold, silver,
bioche, plush, felt and velvet, black, white and
colored laces, feathers and mock jewel orna
meats appear in greatest profusion on leading
hats and bonnets.
Jackets, suits and wraps will be profnsely
decorated with gold, silver, steel and copper
braids in novel and elaborate patterns.
The clumsy corset cover of the past is yield
ing place to the new waist invented by Miss
Bates, of Boston, and on sale at Mrs. E M
Van Brunt’s salon of sanitary specialties, in
East Nineteenth st., N. Y., for ladies and chil
dren, which is a veritable boon to ladies.
Imported French hats show lower crowns
and wider brims—the latter, in bonne's, being
pointed over the forehead a la Mother Hubbard.
Faced cloths will compose many Autumn
and Winter costumes.
Cheviots shown at Ridley’s have fine lines
and cross bars indefinite of coloring exquisite
ly blended.
Young ladies will wear serges with large
blanket plaids, the bodice being plain and the
skirt and draperies of plaid.
Small-figured Cheviots will be elaborately
made up with lapped full surplice bodices and
plastrons of velvet. The plain foundation
skirts have voluminous draperies.
Many long outside wraps will be made of
the rough, blanket plaid serges, so popular for
utility purposes.
The long waisted bodices are still popular
for all sons of cos .nines, particularly for tailor
gowns, which, to ensure their accurate fit, re
quire the taiior-cut and tailor made corset
which is such a benefaction to this particular
style of garment., aud of which Messrs Foy,
Hannon & Chadwick have made such a stu
pendous success.
Bodices to wear with different skirts are
made of wool, over whose surface are raised
designs resembling routache braiding, in uncut
velvet figures. They are in two tones of one
color, or in black on a ground of any preterred
color.
Old-fashioned braided garments will be cop
ied iu cashmeres aud ladies cloths this season.
Plain-color serges are largely imported for
Autumn and Winter wear. All the new Gobe
liu blue purplish navy-blue, dahlias, cigar
browns, and other current colors appear in
these goods.
Full skirts of velvet are worn under cloth
polonaise or those of silk and velvet stripes;
and often the jiolonaise is of lighter cloth bor
dered with velvet.
Young ladies, married and single, will wear
short cloaks, as they give protection to that
part of the body especially requiring warmth,
and leave the skYts of handsome dresses un
covered.
Faille francaise and Bengaline silks combine
nicely with plain or striped velvet for carriage
or visiting dresses
Long cloth cloaks made in full raglan shape,
with square sleeves beginning in the side form,
or gathered to the yoke or collar in Irish peas
ant style, are very suitable for matrous. They
have a waistcoat front added for warmth.
The chemiiette, man rfactured by Miss
Bales, of 4fl Winter street. Bos on, and on

particularly those with weak backs. It is
made of tbe best quality of muslin or cambric,
and combines corset-cover and drawers. There
are buttons at tbs waist wheieto skins may be
attached; a id a lady does not realize Lo v very

The favorite fabric for rich wraps is plush,
becau e of its thick rich pile so uaiversally be
coming. B’ack plush will be preferred be
cause brown is considered an imitation of seal

A handsome suit shown at Lord & Taylor’s,
is of Gobelin blue cl uh and plush, with many
tiny tucks done by hand in the cloth part of
the costume. A short wrap of the cloth, with
adjusted basque-like back, and sling sleeves
which cover the sides and almost meet over
the plush waistcoat, accompanies this elegant
costume.
Dresses of the rich “Puritan Ideal” silk, are
trimmed with lace and jet passementeries, and
are models of elegance.
A delicious baby dress is made of white eta-
mine over “baby” blue silk. It is cut out
round, forming lace blouse, and a Saxon lace
flounce goes down each side of the front. The
skirt is of Sax in lace, and the entire dress is
embellished with “baby” blue ribbons.
TheDmble Ve waist fer children of both
sexes is in greater demand than ever; it does
away with all construction or pressure upon
any part of the chil fish system, and embodies
the thoughtful provision against juvenile dis
comfort made by Messrs Foy, Harmon &
Chadwick.
A dainty gown for a little seven year old
girl, made at B-st & Co’s Lilliputian Bazaar in
23ril street, is of pale blue veiling with yoke of
embroidery. The full-pleated skirt is shirred
at the bottom of a corsage, the top of which is
also shirred.
A bonnet of white faille, trimmed with a tuft
of white feathers and white ribbons is exquis
itely becoming to a pretty baby face.
Many dressy frocks for very little girls are
again made with low neck and short sleeves;
but this is a p: rn cious fa hion to revive!
Childrens’ Autumn toilets for country wear
are very gay and in appearance suited to the
season of gorgeous tints and tones.
Little petticoats of Jersey webbing will be
worn by children whose sensible mammas
study their well-being.
Many j mnty little hats shown are of fine
felt in all the new colors—grays, Gobelin blues,
tapestry greens and nut browas, in finely grad
ed shades.
Among the revived msdiatvil styles of dress
for children, we find many picturesque and
comfortable reproductions of those worn by
little people during the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries.

Beautiful Tribute to Women.
We have seen many beautiful tributes to
lovely women, but the following is one of the
finest wa ever read:
Place her among tbe flowers, foster her as a
tender plant, and she is a thing of fancy, way
wardness and folly—annoyed by a dew-drop,
fretted by the touch of a butterfly’s wing,
ready to faint at the sound of a beetle or the
rattling of a window-sash at night, and is over-
oowered by the perfume of a rosebud. But
et real calamity come, rouse her affections,
enkindle the fires of her heart and mark her
then—bow strong is her heart! Place her in
the heat of battle—give her a child, a bird, or
anything to protect—and see her in a relative
instance, lifting her white arm as a shield, as
her own blood crimsons her u: turned fore
head, praying for her life to protect the help
less. Transplant her in the dark places of the
earth, call forth her energies to action, and her
breath becomes a healing, her presence a bles-
ing She disputes inch by inch, the strides of
_, stalking pestilence, when man. the strong
and brave, pale and affrighted, shii iks away.
Misfortune hurts her not; she wears away a
life in silent endurance and goes ferth with
lass timidity than to htr bridal. In prosperity
she is a bad full of odor waiting for the winds
of adversity to scatter thim abroad—gold, val
uable, but untried in the furnace. In short, a
woman is a miracle, a mystery, the center
from which radiates the charm of existence.
How Uncle Edom Paid His Debts,
Near the upper end of Lamed street, where
it begins to lay aside its city airs and take on
plain country ways under the name of the Per
ryville road, there has stood for years a little
wooden store where snuff and tobacco, 6ugar,
molasses, Rio coffee and other town luxuries
are given in exchange for country produce.
Tenk Riley, the proprietor, being a thrifty man
and a strict adherent of the apostle’s injunc
tion against asking unnecessary questions,
never indulged in impertinent curiosity as to
the antecedents of the various articles brought
him for barter; and as he would take anything
in trade, from a stalk of sugar cane to a wagon
load of seed cotton, bis shop naturally became
a favorite resort, not only with tbe country
darkeys from the farms along the Perryville
road, but with the colored gentry of Lirned
street as well.
It was here that Uncle Edom was accus
tomed to dispose of sundry odds and ends in
the way of frying chickens, bags of ground-
peas, baskets of eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc.,
theoretically supposed to have come to him in
the shape of pious contributions from the faith
ful of Kingdom Come church, but strongly sus
pected, by certain evil disposed white persons
who owned property in the neighborhood of
having been levied, in the first instance, upon
their own orchards and hen-roosts. In proof
of this it was maliciously asserted that a mys
terious coincidence had been observed to exist
oetween Uncle Edom’s commercial transac
tions with Tenk R ley and the occurrence of
certain nocturnal depredations upon the neigh
boring farm yards and melon patches. Be this
as it may, however, it is not our purpose, any
more than Tenk Riley’s, to engage in idle spec
ulations on irrelevant matters; all that we are
concerned to know being the fact that Uncle
E loin had become ono of Tenk’s most frequent
customers, aud, though it was against the es
tablished usage of the latter ever to give credit,
had gradually been permitted to run up a little
account until, one fine morning, he was found
to be some three dollars and sixty-five cents in
arrears. Tots was a big amount for Tenk Ri
ley’s books to carrv, aud accordingly the next
Saturday, when Uacle Edom went' to lay in
his week’s supply of lobacco and a bottle of
snuff for D.lsy, fie was informed that—being
already “oetter’u three dollar behiudaand”—
he couid “git r.o fu’ther ’commodation till be
had made up the debt ”
Uncle Edom scratched his head pensively.
“Well boss,’’ he answered, after a little
pause, “I was a aimin’ to fetch you a bucket
er blue plums dis ve’y evenin’. I knows whar
dar’s a lot er mighty nice ones grows about six
mile out iu de country, an’ it’s jes’ aoout time
fur’m to be ripenin’ now, but when I went to
saddle de mar to ri ie out alter ’em, I foun’ her
back was all done sbun so tell she couldn’t
abide fur de blanket to tetch it, much less’n de
saddle, an’ I couldn't walk atter ’em, you
know, ’caza it mought a hurt dat so’e leg er
mine whar de bee stung me las’ June. I ’lowed
I’d a cret mine to walk’anyhow, but Dilsy,
she sell I’d be a plum fool to go a traipsin’ six
mile atter dem plums, wid de risk er mekin’
dat so'e leg er mine rise agin, an’ you know
boss, when a man’s wife air agin anything, he
better not be too keen atter doin’ uf it."
“Ain’t you got no chick’ns ner aigs at home,
what you could bring?’’ asked the storekeeper,
intent upon getting back the value of his wares
plus the modest three or four hundred per
cent he was in the habit of charging his negro
customers.
Uncle Edom 110k a mantal survey of all the
neighboring p mltry yards before replying. He
had his own reasons for presuming there were
at present no available supplies in Judge Gar
land’s, while the solitary old rooster that
crowed so dismally over at Col. Everett’s since
last Saturday night, was too tough and skinny
to ba palmed off for a spring chicken, even on
Tenk Riley’s emtomers. In short, there was
a colored campmeetiDg in progress at Huckle
berry Creek, ju3t half way between Sugar Hill
and Perryville, and so there was not even an
old setting hen to be found from one end of the
road to the other.
‘‘Chick’ns an’ aigs is bofe mighty sca’ce jes’
now,” said the old man as he slowly reviewed
the situation. “Dilsy’s hins is all gone to
settin’, an’ de chick’ns, atter dey's done
hatched, woan be filten t’ eat un’er three
ment’s an’ mo’, but I tell you what I kin do;
I knows whar dar’s some mighty nice hoss ap
pies, an’ I’ll fetch you a bushel uf ’em on
Mond’y.”
“Well, you fetch ’em along,” answered
Tenk with the air of one who felt that he was
making a most generous proposition, "an’ ef
they’s rale fust rats, I’ll credit you seventy-five
cents fur’m on yo’ ’count.”
This was not at all what uncle Edom had
counted or; he was after supplying present
needs, not paying for past indulgeDcies, and
to spend his earrings in the profitless task
of settling up old scores, was a waste of time
and labor that he had no idea of making. He
shuffled about from one foot to the other,
turned his quid over in his mouth two or three
times, squirted a s’ream of black ju:c9 at the
shuck mat before the door, and prooetded to
amend his proposal as folio we:
“I seh, boss, I—11’se sorter ’feerd dem ap
ples mought not be ripe good by Mond’y; I—I
spec’ I better wait tell Chuesd’y; dey’il be
better den.”
“All right,” drawled Tenk, turning to meas
ure a pirn of molasses for a female customer
who bad just come in, “bring ’em er Chuesd’y,
then.”
Uncle Edom waited till the customer was
served, sent a gob of spit after her as she dis
appeared through the doorway, then turned
again to Tenk:
“I—I—I reckon I’ll hatter wait tel! Wedncs
d’y, boss,” tumbling at his wool hat with both
hands, “ ’eazi my son Eph’um’s ve’y sick over
yonder at de Perryville brick yard whar he’s
ben a workin’, an’ I mus’ go over Chuesd’y to
see how he’s git.in’ along, so I’ll hatter put off
seein’ ’bout dem apples tell Wednesd’y."
“We.l, shut up your confounded chatter,
an’ bring ’em er Wodnesd’y,” answered Tenk,
beginning to lose patience.
Uncle Edom shuffled towards the door, but
before reaching it, stopped and began again :
“Boss, I—I—I—I spec' I’ll hatter put off
fetchin’ dem apples tell Thursd’y, ’case my
son Eph'um mought die er Wednesd’y, an’ I’d
be er bleeged to stay an’ Bee atter de burial,
so you see I spec’ I’ll hatter wait tell Thurs
d’y.”
“Yer better put it off tell judgement day at
onst, and be done with it,” growled Tenk with
grim sarcasm.
“No, boss, not tell de judgement,"
with a very dry grin <t Teak’s joke,
but now I come to think on’t, I ’spec’ I
will hatter git you to wait on me tell Frid’y,
caze ef Eph’ urn do die, Dilsy wouldn’t wanter
miss de fun’l, an’ hit ’ud tek a whole day to
git her thar an’ back, so—”
“Go take yo’ apples to the d—II” roared
Tenk savagely, from behind the counter, “an’
git yo’ carcass outer this heer sto’ quick, or
I’ll came an’ move it fur you.”
Uncle Edom shuffled off again, got clear out
into the street this lime, and then putting his
head cautiously back into the door, called out:
“I seh, boss, I reckon I'd hatter ax you to
wait tell Sadday fur dem apples, ’caze de mar
'ud be too tired atter de fun’l fur me to ride
her dat fur, bein’ as her back’s skun so bad
anyway, an’ ”
“If you says apples to me agin,” roared
Tenk, coming forward with a cheese-knife in
one hand and an axe helve in the other, “I’ll
cram down ys’ throat aa’ send yo* snaggle
teeth after ’em, yon thievin ole se inndrel yout
Them apples wonld spilt while yoa stand thare
gabblin’ aboat ’em.”
“Dat’e so, boss; yes, dat’s so,” assented
Uncle Sdom, blandly, retreating a step or two
lurther into the stree ; “dey mought all be
spilte fho’ ’nough, ef we waits teil Sudday, an’
so I reekon’t won’t be wuth whi'e to fetch ’em
atail, as >on wouldn’t keer fur rotten truck."
He didn’t wait to bear Tenk Riley’s answer,
and it is needless to say that a’ter this he
found it convenient to do his trading at an
other store.

Shakspeare Contributed 7,000 Hew
Words to the Language-
[Chicago Tribune.]
Every number of the “New English Diction
ary” will be to Shakspeareans worth the cost
of the whole work. It will throw a thousand
side-ligffts on Shakspeare’s language which
they have always longed for but could never
hope to behold. How much of our vocabulary
and its significance can be traced back no fur
ther than the great dramatist, will ba revealed
so clearly that he who runneth may read.
Something of this disclosure may be seen in
aoy fraction of the stupendous work. Turn
ing over the first 200 pages of the first number,
it will be ascertained that 146 words are first
found in Shakspeare, either altogether or in
some of their meetings. At this rate our total
indebtedness cannot be less than for 7,000
Seakspearean words or meanings. Rome
owed only one word to Julius Caesar. Tin-
nature o! bur debt will be more apparent if wt
examine some of these hundred and a half ol
Shakspearean words, all so near the beginning
of the alphabet that the last of them is “air.”
We owe the poet the first use of the word
“air,” itself in one of its senses as a noun, and
in three as a verb or participle. He first said
“air-drawn” and “air less.” He added a new
signification to “airy” and “aerial." Nobody
before him had written “aired,” and mon
than a ti he of the verbal gifts now in view
were such perfect participles. Well nigh ss
many were adverbs. In no previous writei
have Dr. Murray’s Argus eyes detected “acci
dentally,’ now any of the following: “Ab
jectly,” “acutely," “admiringly,” “adopt-
edly,” “adversely.” How our fathers could
exist so long without some of these vocables
must move our sp -cial wonder. To “abso
lutely," “according,” "actively,” and * affec
ionately” Shakspeare added a ner sense. Ii
is not a little surprising that the woro
‘abreast” was never printed before the cou
p!et.
My si u! sha’.l thin * tc»ei> companv ro Re iven;
Tarry, sweet so fur mine, men fl/ abreast.
Of the 146 wo) Vand meanings first given us
by Shakspeare, ?Tlea»t two-thirds are of clas
sical origin. Baconians will say that such a
gift cou'd not by any possibility come from a
man of “small Llt n and less Greek.” Others
will enlarge their ideas of what Ben Johnson
meant by “small.” The straneest thing seems
to be that so few of Shakspeare’s Innovations—
not so much as one fifth—have become obso
let”. lie gave them not only iife, but immor
tality. It is perhaps equally noteworthy that
while he wts never read so much as to-day, no
writer before bim (and scarcely one of his con
temporaries), cited as authors of words and
sen-er, is now read at all, save by special stu
dents.
The question “Where did Shakspeare get his
novelties in language?”—who can answer?
His “accoutred" was in print ten years before
any other writer gives us any of this verb,
which it is agreed come from Latin through
French. The noun “accoutrement” was ear
lier, but only in rare books. In one instance
Shakspeare is erroneously said to show the
earliest specimen of a certain meaning. “Act,”
as one of the main divisions in a dramatic
work, is credited to Shakspeare in 1613 But
this word is in the epilogue of “Henry VIII.,’’
which, downward from Dr. Johnson, has not
been regarded as Shakspeaie’s work in any line
of it. In no one of the Slaksp-arean dramas
as published in the author's lifetime is there
any division into “acts” at all. Tbe quarto of
the “Merry Wives,’’ published three years
after the author’s death, shows no act or scenes.
In the first folio, published seven years after
his death, the modern separation into parts oc
curs. It is indicated, however, only by Latin
words, as actus jpriii.us, secundus, etc. Oar
indisputable SnakTpiarean debts are loo great
to ueeo anv doubtful additions. In one case,
however, Dr Mqrray fails to render to Shak
speare his due. Regarding Adonis in Greek
mythology, his first citation dates from 1765.
He forgot ibis line in “Hemy VI ”:
“Thy promises are like Adonis’ gardens,"
as well as “Felchthee straight Adonis,” in
“Tanning of the SbrevV.”

The following reliable, if not authoritat ve,
st • telient as to matters in Russia, is c omplete
ly at variance with the accounts generally
promulgated, and a:c;pted by the public. Iu
an interiiew had by a Paris representative of
the New York World, with Mr. G. V. N.
Lothrop, United S ates Minister to Russia,
that gentleman said that, ‘'’commercially he
found St. Petersburg much advanced,” and
that “the middle and higher classes are weil
educated.”
“As far as he could see,” he continued,
“there was less Nihilism iu St. Petersburg
than in Chicago. The peasantry in Russia,
and the working classes be found devoted to
theCzir. The Nihilists, aa far as he couid
observe, are drawn largely from- the student
element They are a class dissatisfied with
the present State Government and desire a
new one, which ean only be effected by the
murder of the Czar as head of the Govern
ment. Constitutional!v, he found Russia
backward. The maj nicy have no desire for a
change and are satisfied with despotism.
The storits of ex.ra precautions taken by
the Czar to avoid assassination, Mr. Lothrop
said, were absurd and concocted in London
The Czar rides out every evening, unattended,
except by a single equerry. He drives in a
plain victoria and is received everywhere with
expressions of great loyalty. A few police
here and there may be found, although fre
quently there are none. The Czar and Czar
ina do not seem in the least disturbed for
their safety. Mr. Lothrop bad frcquent occa
sion to see the Cz ir and had several audiences
with him.”
Twelve months of severe suffering from
chills and fevers left me, as I supposed, a
hopeless invalid. The best physicians and
every known remedy brought me no relief and
I decided to try an invention of my own, and
to my great astonishment it effected a com
plete and permanent cure. I then determined
to send the remedy abroad for suffering hu
manity, and wherever it has gone it has pro
duced marvellous results and brought back
countless expressions of gratitude from multi
tudes who have been soundly healed by its
magic touch. In Cincinnati I refused several
times to take f5,000 for the patent, and have
since refused various liberal offers for it.
It is indeed a thorough Master of Chills,
and will destroy them completely in the worst
malarial sections where no other known rem
edy will produce any effect upon them. It has
been found also to be a fine tonic for general
debility and delicate constitutions. It will
strengthen and build them up permanently.
It is a fine appetizer, excellent remedy lor
neuralgia, sorethroat, remittent and intermit
tent fevers, and has been recommended for
dyspepsia.
Try it and be healed, and then tell it to your
suffering neighbor.
If your druggist does not have it on hand,
cell him to order it for you from the under
signed. Mrs. J. D. Boxlet.

Wrecking Diabolism in Alabama.
Oa the night of Saturday the 19th, ult., an
at empt was male by some unknown party to
wreck a Mobile & Girard passenger train at
F.ournt y’s Crossing, seven miles below Columj
bus, Ga., but the obs rusti- a was discovered
in time to prevent a disaster. Another night
since, at the same place, a sicmd attempt was
made to wreck the passenger train where it
curves. The engineer dia not see the obstruc
tion until within forty yards oi it, and could
not stop the train i:i time. The front wheels
of the engine struck the piece of iro« with con
siderable force. The engine was badly shaken
up, but remained on the track If a third at
tempt is made the would-be train wreckers will
p ebably be caught.

Having been shown the formula for Holmes’
Sure Cure Mouth Wash and Dentifrice. I will
say that from my knowledge of the therapeu
tic action of each of these substances entering
into its composition on deseased mucus mem
branes of the mouth and gums, I believe it to
be a specific in a large number of the ordinary
deseased conditions for which it is recommend
ed. I say this on theoretic grounds and am
satisfied that a practical test of this mouth
wash in my own practice has more than justi
fied my expectations. I therefore reccommend
it for general use and would be glad to know
that every man and woman in the country
would try it for themselves, believing that it
will result in great good to those who use it as
directed.
Athens, Ga.—I have had occasion recently
to test the virtues of your Sure Cure Mouth
Wash in an aggrevatei case of inflamed

any other one of the many similar prepara
tions I have ever used in my practice of many
years. I wish that every one, old and young,
would use your preparation according to the
printed directions, and then, I think, the den
tist would be able to accomplish mors 1 ood foi
their patients, and do it with more satisfaction
to all concerned.
