Good Advice.
Ihe most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering (rom Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint. More than
seventy-five per cent of the people in the
United States are afflicted with these
two diseases and their effects; such as
Soar Stomach, Sick Headache, Habitnal
Costtveness, Palpitation of thj Heart,
Heart-born, Waterhrash, Gnawing and
Bnrning Pains at the Pit of the Stom
ach, Yellow Skin, Coated Tonngne and
Disagreeable Taste in the Month, Com-
ing np of Food after Eating, Low Spir
its, etc. Go to your Druggist and get a
bottle of Aognst Flower for 25 or 76
cents. Two doses will relieve yon. Try
it.
The warrants against Dr. C. A. Ryder
and Dr. C. A. Constantine, charging
them with assault and battery, have
been dismissed.
This was done at the instance of Mr.
D W. McGregor, who did not desire to
prosecute the cases
Mr. Earnest McGregor, who was in
jured in the difficulty, is improving
steadily. The bleeding of the small cot
above his eye has stopped and the physi
cian does not apprehend that it will
break ont afresh.
MASONS AND ELKS
USE THE
Whooping Cough.
A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to pre.vent
any dangerous consequences from it
She says: “Our three children took
whooping congh last sammer, our baby
being only three months old, aud owing
to our giving them Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, they lost none of their plump
ness and came ont in much better health
than other children whose parents did
not use this remedy. Oar oldest little
girl would call lustily for cough syrup
between whoops.’’—Jessie Pinkey Hall,
Spnng&eld, Ala. This remedy is for
I sals by all druggists.
The Masons and the Elks baseball
teams have been giveu the exclus’veuse
of the campns until after the game rext
Wednesuay afternoon.
This announcement is made on the
authority of Prof. A H. Patterson,
athletic director, in order that no other
team may interfere with these two
teams in their practice for the big game
