How WanMMkor AdvortM*.
♦‘l never in my life used »uch a thing a*
a potter or a dodger or handbill,” eald
John Wanamaker. *‘My plan for 80 years
haa l>een to buy so much apace in a news
paper and fill it up as I wanted. I would
not give an advertisement in a newspaper
of 600 circulation for 6,000 dodgers or
posters. If I wanted to sell cheap jewelry
or run a gambling scheme, I might use
posters, but I would not insult a decent
reading public with handbills. The class
of people who read them are too poor to
look to to support mercantile affairs. I
deal directly with the publisher. I say to
him:
“ ‘How long will you let me run a col
umn of matter through your paper for
|IOO or |6oo?’ gs the case may be. I let
him do the figuring, and if I think he is
not trying to take more than his share I
give him the copy. I lay aside the profits
on a particular line of goods for advertis
ing purposes.
“At first I laid aside 18,000. Last year
I laid aside and spent >40,000. I have
done better thia year, and shall increase
the sum as the profits warrant it. I owe
my success to newspapers, and to them 1
freely give a certain profit of my yearly
business.” —Wool and Cotton Reporter.
Drowned In Oil.
The difference in specific gravity be
tween water and oil was illustrated in a
startling and disastrous manner the other
day by one of the workmen of a large oil
company. One of the oil tanks had be
come tnin on top, and in walking on it
the top gave way, letting the man down
into the oil. Had this been water it would
have been of little consequence, as the man
would rise and clamber out. Not so with
the oil, however, as it is lighter than the
human body, and the man never rose, but
was drowned in the tank.—Philadelphia
Record.
That dreaded disease, Consump
tion, cured with Thrash's Lung Re
storer and Consumptive Cure. All
druggists, 50c bottle.
♦
Col. VV. A. Knowles, of the Rome
Tribune, who accompanied Governor
Atkinson’s party to Mexico ; eays: “The
whole time we were in Mexico we did
not see a cloud as large as a man’s
hand. It is a land of sunshine, flow
ers and tropical fruits. Oranges were
sold at 18 cents per 100 or 9 cents in
our money. Bananas only bring 20
cents a bunch. In the City of Mexico
-they have no fires in the houses or bo
tele as they say it produces rheuma
tism. The nights are quite cool, and
we found overcoats necessary. The
sun is very hot. On the shady and
sunshiny side of the street there is
said to be a difference of 30 degrees.’’
Lemons as Medicine.
They regulate the liver, stomach, bow
els, kidneys and blood, as prepared by Dr-
H. Mozley, in his Lemon Elixir, a pleas
ant lemon drink. It cu-es all biliousness,
constipation, indigestion, headache, mala
ria, kidney disease, fever, chills, impuri
ties of the blood, pain in the chest or back,
nervous exhaustion and heart failure.
Hon John L. Martin, office opposite
Four Courts, St. Louis, says: Lemon El
ixir has no equal for the disease for which
it is recommended. Myself and family
have used it for two years, and recommend
it to our friends.
J. B. Wilkerson, druggist, Augusta,
Ark., writes: Enclosed find S4O. Send
me twelve dozen Lemon Elixir at once.
It is effecting the most wonderful cures.
There is nothing like it for the diseases for
which it is recommended.
A PROMINENT MEMPHIAN WRITES
Dr. H Mozley, Atlanta: Having been a
great sufferer for three years from indiges
tion, and been treated by many physicians
who failed to give me any relief. Contin
uing to grow worse my brother advised
me to try Dr. Mozley’s Lemon Elixir,
which remedy he had used for several
years. I commenced its use, and must say
that your Lemon Elixir is the greatest
medicine on earth. I have never suffered
a day since I commenced using Lemon
Elixir. Thanking my brother for his ad
vice and you for Lemon Elixir, am forever
your friend, B. L. Rocao,
