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.” —Evan D. Bowen. .

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. Ochlockonee Ga., May 16,1904.

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 appliances tor the most perfect safety.
