TIMES-ENTERPRSE, THOMASVILLE, |REORGIA MAT, 20,1901.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Professor Powell, of Washington, D. C.,
Recommends Pe-ru-na.
Prof. W. B. Powell, of Wawhinjrton, 1). C. f In one of the bent known educators
In the country. For fifteen years he ban been Sui>crintendent of tho Public
Schools of Washington, which is considered tho best school system In tho United
States. Professor Powell is the author of-ft number of school books which are
used throughout tho United States.
This well known gentleman does not hesitate to recommend Peruna to his
countless friends and acquaintances all over the United States. In a recent letter
from 1410N street, N. W., Washington, D. Cl., to Dr. Hartman, lie says:
« Persuaded by a friend / have used Peruna as a tonic, and I take
pleasure in recommending your remedy. Peruna is indeed a good
medicine and should be in every household.”—W. B, POWELL*
S UCH straightforward evidence cap-
not be ovoriookod. What the com
mon peoplo say carries weight, hut when
a man of national prominence says “Pe
runa should be used in every household,
it is a significant fact to tho increasing
prominence and undoubted eilieacy of
Peruna.
Peruna is of national fame as a catarrh
remedy. It is the only internal sys
temic catarrh remedy known to the med
ical profession. It makes diseased mu
cous membranes healthy, whether it is
the mucous membrane lining tho nbso,
throat, lnngs, stomach, kidneys or pel
vic organs. It cures various diseases of
all these organs, because two-thirds of
tho ills of mankind are duo to catarrh.
With healthy mucous membranes cli
matic diseases lose their terror, tho sys
tem Is enabled to throw off contagion,
and health follows inevitably.
Mr. A. T. Wood, Mt. Sterling, Ky^
writes:
** For many years i have been a suf
ferer from catarrh, and have spent
time and money with physicians and
used many kinds of remedies which
were *guaranteed sure cures*, but In
every case It was money thrown away.
••I reaped no benefit whatever from
them. In my seemingly vain search
for relief i purchased a bottle of Pe-
1 runs, paving no confidence In It what
ever at the time. This was about one
year ago, and I began to Improve and
was able tq attend to my business
without being constantly hampered by
every kind of pain known to a human
being. My bearing, which was almost
entirety gone In one ear, got very much
better. The medicine not only seems
to sure, but to prevent disease.
•*This winter when every one was
suffering fibm la grippe, I stood like a
stone wall, absolutely proof against It.
lam not a believer in * patent medi
cines,* having found the majority of
them fakes, but I do not hesitate to
recommend Peruna as the best medi
cine for catarrh tho world has ever
seen. 1 keep a bottle of It at home
constantly and shall continue to do so,
because I believe It to be the best med
icine on earth. I never leave homo
that 1 don't put a bottle of It In my
grip." A. T. WOOD.
Mr. Evan D. Bowen, Dodge City, Kan.,
Conductor on tho A. T. * 8. F. K. It.,
writes: “I have had catarrh of the stom
ach fpr seven years, and I began to think
that l never was going to bo cured. At
the time I began taking Peruna,! was un
able to make more than one or two trip®
on tho road at a time, not being able to
koep anything on my stomach. I ,tbcn
weighed 168ponnds. I have boon taking
Peruna slnco that time and have never
lost a trip, and now weigh 200 pounds.”

ENDORSES ROAD SYSTEM.
J. S. Ward Jr., In wall Written Card
Approve* NowIPlans.
Editor Times-Entorpririo:
'As tho road question is the most im
portant issue now ponding in our coun
ty, I wish to use your columns for a few
words. Jnst boro I deem if a waste of
time aud space to enter into an argu-
gument to prove the necessity of good
roads. That is a fact conceded by all,
every ono likes to travel them, but few
want to make them. That is where tho
trouble comes in with the old system of
working them. That this question is
one of absorbing interest throughout
the nation is shown by the spaco that is
given it.in tho great metropolitan papers
of the United States.
The recent grand jury lias recom
mended that the county commissioners
put into opemtiou a now system, to-wit:
*To work the roads by couvict labor
and taxation.” A desire that the peoplo
have pationco aud time to give a fair
and impartial trial all over the county
before condemning it. prompts the writ
ing of this article.
There is always opposition (and it is
honest too) to any kind of reform that
is offered. As a rule tho greater t|ie ne
cessity for it tho more stubborn the op- j
position. For this roason good laws are
sometimes repealed before they save :
time to show -their / true effect. In the
lmmble opinion of tho writer the clam j
or of the public caused the legislature j
to repeal a good law several years ago"
Now it is to guard against this coutin-t
gency that prompts tliis letter. In my j
opinion the only reasou that can cause
a failure will Iks incompetent supervis-1
iou, and in a governmoufc in which the |
people havo tho ballot in their hands
they are iu a position to redress any
wrongs inflicted upon them.
Now, one of the objections that has
and will arise against the new system
is, that remote parts of the county will
have to wait aud bo last served by the
authorities in road buildiug. Now let
us be reasonable men on this subject. I
am one of the remote r ones. Thomas is
a big county and of course all can’t eat
at the first table aud because we can’t
lot’s not play tho baby act, pout and not
eat at nil. If properly managed we will
havo hotter roads at much less cost than
tho present system. I for one am tired
of being palled oat of my crop at the
busiest soasou to work tho roads while
somo sections near the county scat do
comparatively nothing to thorn.
80 let’s give the authorities a fair
show in this matter. Of course there
will Ik) many obstacles to overcome In
tho outset of this work. Tho citizen
can aid in overcoming by encourage
nieut or ho can make thorn harder to
overcome by arousing prejudice to the
movement.
This lottor is already too long. If it
docs not find tho waste basket I may
write another on this all important sub
ject, Iu the meantime lot us patch uj
our roads this summer so that they will
not get impassable before tho author,
hies cau get ronud with tho now syt
tem. I would like to hoar from other
farmers on this subject as they arc di-
rcctly interested, and all othor profes
sious incidentally. J. 8. Ward, Jr.

DO YOU NEED S
MEDICINE?
IT COSTS YOU NOTHING TO IMIf£iTI$MTC
ThereWs no one who does not need a
Liver- Medicine occasionally.
The symptoms ot Liver Complaint art
well known to every one, snch as consti
pation, dyspepsia, loss ot appetite, sleep
lessness, headache, a tired feeling and
many others of a similar nature.
Thousands die annually by not heeding
the warnings of nature.
Many acquire sonic chronic disease
from which they never recover.
Many of these could be spared for rears
of usefulness, by keeping in the home
some reliable remedy.
Wc believe that we can convince any
fair-minded person that there is no bet
ter remedy tor the Liver known, than
Dr. Thachcr’s Liver and Blood Syrup.
The formula is known, consisting of:
Buchu, Hydrangea, Mandrake, Yellow
Dock, Dandelion, Sarsaparilla, Gentian,
Senna and Iodide of Potassium. You
know just whutgrou arc taking. How
many other formulas of a fiver medicine
are published ? A9k your druggist about
this. It is already prepared and can be
token immediately.
The strength is extracted in the most
skillful manner, certainly superior to any
powdered preparation known. (We also
manufacture a Liver Medicine in pow
dered form, with which any druggist cau
supply you, but this, like all other dry
Liver Medicines requires preparation.)
Dr. Thacher’s Liver and Blood Syrup
is pleasant to take, does not lose its
strength, as Liver Medicine in dry forus^
and will keep in any climate.
Your doctor, however skillful, could
prescribe nothing better.
There is no opportunity for a doctor
to make a mistake in writing a prescrip
tion, or a drug clerk to make a mistake
in compounding tlie same, (besides a
doctor’s bill and the cost of the medi
cine.) You can be absolutely sure of the
proper proportion being in every dose.
Dr. Thacher'8 Liver and Blood Syrup
has lieen used with the greatest confi
dence and success in thousands of homes
for 52 years, and is prepared by a phar
macist of 2ft years’ experience, in a labo
ratory equipped with the most modem
