DEAF?
ALL CASES OF

ARE NOW CURABLE
by our new invention. Only those born deaf are incurable.
HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY.
F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS:
Baltimore, Md , March 30, 1901.
Gentlemen : Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
S full history of my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five years ago my right car began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected car would be' lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours.

Some Good, Wholesome Advice From Mr. Andrew Carnegie.
. \
J
Andrew Carnegie told railroad men recently how he ran trains
in his early days, cracked jokes at the expense of high officials of the
New York Central and Pennsylvania companies and predicted ex
press trains with a speed of ioo miles an hour in the near future.
“Old railroad men don't call me Mr. Carnegie,” said lie; “they
call me ‘Andy.’ ”
In a few minutes the speaker had made every one present at the
anniversary of the Railroad Branch of the Young Men’s Christian
association think of him not as a man of vast enterprise and great
wealth, but as one of themselves.
“That is not Mr. Layng sitting here on the platform,” said Mr.
Carnegie, indicating James D. Layng, vice president of the Big Four. I
“That is ‘Jim,’ and that,” pointing to Robert Pitcairn, general super- j
intendent of the terminals of the Pennsylvania railroad at Pittsburg, j
! “is ‘Bob.’ ” He paid his compliments to Mr. Edward V. W. Rossiter, j
vice president of the New York Central, who was presiding, then,
having put his hearers at ease, told how he began life.
“I am a railroad man,” said Mr. Carnegie, one of yourselves. I
began my career on a little branch road running out of Pittsburg. It
is now a part of the Pennsylvania system, but in those days the
Pennsylvania road did run as far west as Pittsburg. I began as a
boy and worked up so high that I was superintendent of the Pittsburg
division.
We didn’t have things in those days in quite as good shape as
they are now. In those days it was not ‘Mr. Pitcairn,’ it was ‘Bob,’
and even-body called Mr. Layng ‘Jim.’ When I go to Pittsburg
some of the old railroad men in the yards come up to me and say,
‘How are you, Andy?’ When they do that I feel like saying, ‘Here’s
my pocketbook.’ ”
Mr. Carnegie illustrated this by pulling out his purse and holding
it in his outstretched hand.
“It was some time ago that I entered the service of the Pennsyl
vania railroad. I have seen many changes, and hope to see many
more, for I’m a young man yet. My hair was not this color then,
and I was somewhat different. Some of the men who knew me said
I was a ‘husky’ lad. I saw the first locomotive taken into Pittsburg
by boat, for the railroad was not built through then. The rails we
used were 14 feet long, cast iron, imported from England. They
were laid on stone blocks, as we hadn’t learned that wood made
better ties. We had single tracks and no telegraghs. We ran trains
around curves by sending a man ahead on foot. Sometimes trains
came together with more force than we desired.
“It is hard to teach railroad men that two trains cannot pass on

the same track.
“I intend to ask Marconi to take up this problem of how to make
trains pass on the same track. He did me the honor to lunch with
me to day and when he gets the continents united by air telegraph I
shall get him to help us out.
“When I was seventeen years old I helped establish the first
telegraph line that ran out of Pittsburg. Mr. Scott, who was in
charge, offered me a position, which I accepted. It paid me $35 a
month and you may talk about your X-rays, that was the best X
raise I ever had. I used to put in my spare time thinking what Mr.
Scott could do with the munificent salary or $125 a month which he i
received.”
Mr. Carnegie’s hearers laughed at this, but he went on seriously.
“Let me tell you, right from my heart, there is nothing in money
beyond a competence. Care and trouble come with wealth. Many
articles have been written to show the advantages of wealth, but I
can tell you the only advantage of wealth beyond a competence is
what it enables one to do for others.
“Let me congratulate you on the condition of labor in this great
republic. Every honest man who desires work can obtain it, and at j
wages sufficient to enable him to lay aside enough for a compentence |
in his old age. .
“That is, if he has a good wife to help him save it. There is |
nothing else so important as a good managing wife. She is the I
greatest aid to saving and getting ahead. Those of you who are
married know it, so I am saying this for the young men.
“I often look back on what a fool of a railroad superintendent I
was. I used to go out to every wreck, and would spend days and
nights on the road. I used to snatch a nap anywhere, and the habit
sticks to me to this day.
“The best way to judge a man is by his capacity for a laugh, j
Your superintendents and managers are always gauging you. Don’t :
let your buisness worry you. A man only does well what he does
easily. If you have a load on your mind all the time you will never
be promoted. The young man that wants more to do all the time is
the one that is advanced. I never did any work myself. I did the .
laughing. The best advise I can give you young men is to laugh, get
funny stories—good stories.
“We did not have very fast trains when I was railroading. We
once put on one on the Pennsylvania road that ran twenty-seven miles
an hour, and we called it the lightning express! Your Empire State
express will do double that, and your sons will do double what you
do now. It won’t be long before a hundred miles an hour will be the
express speed. The railroads of the next century will be straight as
a die.
“I know of a certain railroad that is spending a million dollars
to straighten a curve. That will all be wasted, for others will come
later who will abolish that curve.
“The line that does best for its men does the best for the owners.
“Railroad men are the most sober, most temperate body of men
in all the world. Let alcoholic beverages alone, at least until after
you are sixty.
“You are to be congratulated on the fact that the door is always
| open to promotion. To work up you must have character, you must
I be true, you must be loyal and your habits must be good.”
“I feel as if I should fly to
pieces.” How often those words
are on a woman’s lips. They ex
press to the uttermost the nerve
racked condition of the body,
which makes life a daily martyr
dom.
If this condition had come sud
denly it would have been unbear
able. But the transition was grad
ual. A little more strain each day
on the nerves. A little more drain
each day of the vitality. Any
woman would be glad to be rid of
it. Thousands of such women
have been cured by Dr. Pierce’s
treatment with his “Favorite Pre
scription” when local doctors had
entirely failed to cure.
“Favorite Prescription” con
tains no opium, cocaine or other
narotic.
You will never wish to take another
dose of pills if you once try Chamber
lain’s Stomach A Liver Tablets. They
are easier to take and more pleasant
in effect. They cleanse the stomach
and regulate the liver and bowels. For

Maddux Cioes to Mitclicll lliiilding.
Mr. It. H. Maddux, the head of
the Barnesville Mercantile Com
pany, closed a deal last week with
Mr. Robert Mitchell for the new
store room in the Mitchell build
ing adjoining that of Mr. Middle
brooks, and Mr. Maddux’s firm
will move into it about April Ist.
This is one of the prettiest store
rooms in the city and will be an
excellent place of business, and
no doubt Mr Maddux and the
members of his firm will be great
ly pleased with their new quarters.
The other store room in this
building is used as an office
and repository by Mr. Mitchell.
SURGEON’S KNIFE NOT NEEDED.
Surgery is no longer necessary to
cure piles. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salve cures such cases at once, remov
ing the necessity for dangerous, pain
ful and expensive operations. For
scalds, cuts, burns, wounds, bruises,
sores and skin diseases it is unequaled.
Beware of counterfeits.

A Had Step.
While on his way home last Fri
day night, Mr. O. M. Jones had
the pleasure of taking a swim in
one of the swollen streams between
the residences of Mr. Chas. Tyler
and Mr. J. T. Hunt. Mr. Jones
states that it was so dark that he
hardly knew where he was and all
of a sudden he was in stream four
feet deep struggling for life.
Mr. Jones was not the only one
who had the misfortune to go
wading.

many wonder.
Many wonder how it is that pin
worms and stomach worms get into lit
tle children, or how a tape worm 300
feet long, can get in and exist and
grow inside of a man, as it sometimes
happens. They may well wonder, for
it is a great mystery. However, many
now know from experiencce that
Mother’s Worm Syrup will rid one of
intestinal worms and greatly improve
the health after the worms have been
dcßtoyed and expelled. It is absolute
ly a harmless remedy to take, and as
it only costs 25 cents, all should try it
who suspect worms to be the cause of
their ill health.
