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.
