Medical Advice
You need a doctor many times when yon
don’t call cne. You suffer pain in fifty
forms and yet won’t call the doctor, be
cause you hope that the pain “ will go
away after awhile.” And, too, you know
by experience, that that first visit of the
doctor ia generally followed by many others,
with the inevitalde consequence of a big
J bill “for professional aervic.es.” You don’t
know whattodo for yourself or what to take.
But suppose that you could get free, ab
solutely free, the advice of one of the most
Eminent
Physicians
in the United States? You can. The phy
sician is right here. He has an office in the
building, he has a staff of correspondents to
assist him, and anyone and everyone, who
needs medical advice is invited to write to
him. If it's baby’s health or mother’s or
the health of any member of the family you
may write about it, sure of a careful read
ing of your letter, sure of a conscientious
diagnosis of your case,
Sure of a cure
if cure is possible. Every letter will be held
as a strictly confidential communication.
Remember these facts.
We offer you medical advice from one of
the most eminent practitioners in the United
£tat-s, whether our medicines suit your
particular case or not. We offer you this
advice at the cost of the two rent stamp
which it will take to bring your letter to our

Concerning Mixed Metaphor**.
About a century ago there was tie
livered in parliament the most famous
mixed metaphor ever exploited, up to
that time, in public. A member from
an obscure borough feeling that, in
addressing the speaker and his broth
ers, he should throw in as much elo
quence as possible, rose from his seat
during the discussion of some trivial
matter and said, “Mr. Speaker, 1
smell a rat; 1 see it floating in the
air; but, mark my words, 1 shall nip
it in the bud.”
That mixed metaphor has for years
been considered what is technically
known as a peach; but not long ago an
embryo Henry Clay a contestant
for oratorical honors in the University
of Michigan—sprung one so much more
rabid that it may be said to win in a
walk. Rising up on his tiptoes and
swelling out his chest like a pouter
pigeon the young orator exclaimed as
though he would his words might go
a thundering down the ages, “The
star of empire, tripping with light foot
steps across the Atlantic, poises on
her outspread pinions in the air, and
then pitches —and let us hope it may
be forever—her tent above the dome
of the capital at Washington.”

Catarrh.
Catarrh ix one of the moat obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and nil the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift’s Spe
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr. B. P. McAllister, of llarrodsburg,
Ky., hail Catarrh for years. He writes:

WELCOME ADDRESS
o
Of Hon. J. 0. Nolan of the C. T. Zachry
Camp “U. S. C. V.’’--Delivered in
Behalf of the Qa. Div. U. S. C. V.,
Welcome Visiting Sons In Atlanta.
o
gSr S the rising sun in the eastern
‘vim, sky causes the crystal dew drop
/•IT' to sink into the bosom of the
rose, giving new life and added
beauty, so does the rising of the Sons
of Confederate Veterans upon the
horizon of Southern patriotism cause
the refreshing dews of tenderest mem
ories to fall into my heart, bringing
new life and renewed beauty to th _>se
grand principles that gave birth to the
Southern Confederacy.
The honor conferrd upon me today
is enough to arouse the pTide of any
Georgian.
My noble Commander having plac
ed upon me this honored post of duty
I’ll stand here upon the picket line of
Georgia hospitality and as you ap
proach fire into your royal ranks such
shot and shell of love and esteem as ;
the Great Commander in-C'hief has
placed in the armory of my heart. If I
fail to catch your admiration and es- j
teem for our grand old State I can but j
retreat and notify nobler hearts and
more eloquent lips to prepare to meet
the invading hosts of chivalrous
Southern manhood, and we will sound
a sacred revielle calling into action
every brave, true Georgian, that we
capture your hearts, imprison them
within the walls of Georgia’s generous
homes and place around them the
Knightly guard ot deepest devotion.
No emotion of doubt or fear lurks
in our heart, as panoplied with the
armor of love, our martial tread tender
and swift as the wooing whispers of
peace falling upon the brow of bravery
we meet you here upon the banks ot
the Chattahoochee.
For our reinforcements lie safely
intrenched within the happiness of our
Georgia homes haloed with the hues
|of southern hospitality, and they are
j brave, tender and true—those whose
eyes have caught from the canopy of
| love the sparkle of its rainbow, whose
j cheeks reflect the blush of the flowers
: when kissed by the rays of the morn
ing sun, whose lips are as sweet and
pure as the velvet petals of the roses
they wear upon their bosoms, whose
hearts and lives glow with the
grandeur and greatness that God's
graces have garlanded upon the brow
of Georgia girlhood. When she raises
the gem studdied Sceptre of royal wo
manhood and demands surrender, von
can but stack the arms of rebellion ,
and extend the arms of peace and
love.
i Georgia's elegant singer, Sidney
Lanier, the poet Laureate of the
i South, whose soul catching the ryth
mic cadence from the murmuring wa
ters of the Ocmulgee, minstrelled
1 some of the sweetest thoughts in the
semi quavers of harmony, said that
“music was love in search of a word,”
and could I today but grasp the hard
of his hallowed music and sweep tl ore
cords that would charm with the rich
ness of the’r deepest diapasons, the
swelling emotions of the heart would
fall upon you sweet as the whispering
echoes of a mother's lullaby, or had 1
the magic eloquence environed with
the personal magnetism of Georgia's
gifted son, the peerless Grady, whose
royal rhetoric sparkled like gems upon
the kingly brow of thought, 1 could
stir your souls with the passionate irn
pulses that burn within my own
breast.
The Princely Nazarene standing
upon the fertile fields of Judea and
gazing upon the lillies that lifted their
velvet lips to worship to the sun, eulo
gized them with the language of a God
and standing here today upon the rich
soil of Southern nobility and Knight
hood. I would that I might borrow for
one brief moment the eloquence of
heaven's oratory that 1 might pay tit
ting tribute to the purity and beauty of
the flower of Southern manhood before
me. Here where the ham! of infinite
wisdom has lavished its luxuries upon
the lustful heart of man in this sacred
Southland, her mountains be’ted with
bands of gold and richer in the teach
ing of tradition than the pyramids of
Egypt, her rivers mingling their mel
low minstrelsy with the music of mills
and machinery, her hills and valleys
glowing with the royal richness of fruit
and flower, her magnificent forests ex
pressing their blessings m the arcs and
angles of architecture, her agricultural ;
lands waving in beauty as the nodding
heads of its golden grain bow in greet-
I ing to the passing wind, we love and ;
worship her grandeur and glory.
But this does not constitute her
' chief greatness, this is not the mvster
jous casket in which the hand of Om
nipotent has placed the priceless jew
el. Her treasures he not in the hills
ami valleys that encompass her natur
al resources or industrial development
but in the matchless morals of her
people. A nation's wealth i not
| weighed by carats, but by character ;
the brightest gems that glitter in the
crown of our Christian civilization are
those brave moral heroes who stamp
the impress of their lives upon the
thoughts and hearts of those around
them. For when the heart is pure,

<• I have suffered with womb trouble
over fifteen years. I had inflammation,
enlargement, and displacement of the
womb.
“ The doctor wanted me to take treat
ments, but I had just begun taking
backache con
stantly, also headache, and wassodizzy.
I could not walk around, and I could not
lie down, for t hen my heart would beat
so fast I would feel as though I was
smothering. I had to sit up in bed
nights in order to breathe. I was so
weak I could not do anything. I have
now taken several bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and
used three packages of Sanative Wash,
and can say lam perfectly cured. Ido
not think I could have lived long if Mrs.
Pinkham's medicine had nothelpedme.”
| brave and true, when thought is
chaste, ambition is holy and impulse
1 is sanctified, life is garlanded with the
laurels of love and the virtues ot man
j hood and womanhood bloom forth
i into an ideal of beauty that a sculptar
cannot carve, an artist cannot paint.
The responsibilities of life are
ripening around us in the sunshine
and shower of each passing hour; dis
charge them we are heroes, shirk
them we are knaves. Around us are
falling the golden apples of hesperides:
let us gather them as we go, for they
are the opportunities we seize in the
present that will gild with glory our
coming years. Wasted opportunities
debauch character, debauched char
acter wrecks human life, wrecked hu
man life frescoes the gallery of God
with its saddest scenes.
Opportunities approach us with
veiled face and winged feet, unrecog
nized till they come, fly by too swiftly
to Be recalled and we can only catch
glimpses of their fleeting forms as we
! gaze through the dim vista of the
phst. Let us buckle on the armor of
Southern Knighthood, hasten to the
field of conflict, draw from the scab
bard of Confederate honor the blood
stained blade of truth and right, with
the golden threads of love fasten the
Bonnie Blue flag to the Stars and
Stripes and beneath their silken folds
win a conquest that shall forever per
petuate those grand principples of
justice that gave birth to American
freedom.
My noble comrades, Sons of Con
federate Veterans, you are here to
day to foster, magnify and perpetuate
the most sainted pages that ever
brightened the pages of any nation s
history. Nobler, more devoted sons
never assembled to pay homage at the
shrine of a braver, purer, truer sire
hood. Next to the hallowed blood
that stained the brow of Calvary and j
flow ing from its sacred summit is fast I
changing the channel of human civil
ization, that which is dearest to my
heart is the blood that fllowed from
the wounded side of the Confederate
soldier; the empty sleeve that is
blown by the Southern winds against
his manly breast is a nobler badge of
honor than that ever worn at the
court of any king; the sound of his
crutch upon the pavement about us
are notes in an oratorio more sacred
and more sublime than any ever con
ceived in the soul of Mozart or Bee
thoven. Sons of noblest sires, whose
glittering swords carved their path
way to glory and to fame, I am proud
to stand before you today and tell
you though with stammering tongue
how glad we are to meet you here
where Georgia’s pluck and progress
have erected above the ruin and
wreckage of Sherman this glorious
metropolis. Building upon the ashes
he scattered on his pathway to the
sea, the highest, noblest, purest ex
pressions of earthly civilization and
happiness, our gonerous, genial South
ern homes, where hospitality flows as
swift and free as sentiments of hero
ism. patriotism and bravery trom the
loyal hearts ot its noble manhood and
womanhood.. Homes where sublimi-
ty of character crown e.erv father
king and mother queen, with roy„l
blood coursing through their veins
and coloring the cheeks of their child
hood, that were built upon the v.rec’;
of shattered home, bitter disappoint
ments and wasted foilunes by the
iron hand of that invincible faith that
lingered in the breasts of orr con
quered heroes. Sweeter memories
never clustered round a nobler cause,
braver men never fell in defense of
a purer principle. They tell me the
cause is lost, but when it was lost the
world had found the purest gem of
mauhood, the most glittering jewels
of patriotism. the brightest cluster of
heroism that ever flashed upon a field
of blood and bravery and glowed with
dazzling splendor ,upon the pages of
human history.
They tell me the cause is lost, but
i when the Southern Confederacy went
] down in struggle and travail; from her
womb came forth the birth of true
heroism and above the manger in
which lav this hallowed child there
rose a star whose glittering rays caught
the attention and claimed the worship
jof the true men of every land and
country. The star of Georgia s chiv
alrous manhood, mingling it s spark
ling rays with the other glittering
gems of the Southern Confederacy
has thrown a glamour over the pages
of history dazzling the eyes of human
! ity itself. It is to the hearts, homes
and hospitality of such heroes I wel
come you today, and I thank God
for those sublime heroes of the South
both in public and private life who
have blessed the world with Christian
chivalry and left examples ablaze
with the light and life of Christ. I
thank him ter our martial spiiits that
bathed their patriotism in the inspira
tion of their prayers and left to 11s
the legacy of a generalship guided by
religious faith. ‘Such sublime char
acters as Robert K. I.ee and Stone
wall Jackson that could mingle their
Christianity with their martial valor,"
displaying a knightly chivalry and he
roisrn that charmed the world. Ene
mies who cursed the cause for which
! they fought have lifted their hats and
J bowed their heads in reverence at the
grandeur of the men. When Robert
E. I.ee with head uncovered, his sil
verv locks kissed by the balmy breezes
of Virginia, looked through his tears
into the faces of the heroes in gray
and said. “I did not have to surren
der; I could take you noble men and
cut my way through any army in the
world, but I surrendered rather than
sacrifice the life of another one of
you brave boys,” he gave to the world
an exhibition of his true greatness.
The name of Lee is in the centre of
that brilliant constellation around
which revolves the planetary system
of Southern pride and patriotism.
Oh, loved and loving Lee, the admir
ing gaze ot nations was focused on
thy greatness as the white-winged
courier of peace bade thee sheathe
thy blade upon the hill of Appo
mattox, thy falling tears were
caught in the sacred chalice of our
devoted memories, thy sighs of regret
minstrelled the sweetest strains with
which we chant thy praise, no flowers
are blown with hues of fitting bright
ness to add lustre to thy laurels, no
syllabled phrase from the golden al
phabet of speech can pay just tribute
to thy worth, but our hearts are echo
ing the noble sentiments of a history
that records thee “in war a hero, in
peace a statesman, in life a Chris
tian.”
Let us as sons of heroes do our du
ty, discharge life’s sacred obligations;
then will God stamp his signet of no
bility upon the brow and dim our lives
with the brightest gems of manhood
that ever sparkled in the coronet of a
country's citizenship. When duty
conies and bows, let us kneel at her
feet, accept the burden of responsi
bility she places upon our shoulders,
take Her fair hand, implant upon her
cheeks the ki§s of betrothal, lead her
to the altar, beautiful daughter of God
let Christ himself perform the nuptials,
pronouncing a blessing richer than
that which gladdened the hearts of Ja
cob and Leah, as we lead her away
vowing for her to live, for her to die.
Speaking for brave, bold Geor
gians, 1 tell you we love and hon
or you because in yonr hands are
placed the protection and happi
ness of Southern girlhood, the purest
type of God’s sublimest conception;
no more sacred • trust was ever re
posed in the honored heart of loyal
knighthood. Prove to the world
thar the sword of honor, weilded by
the conquering arm of chivalry and
guided by a heart of love and worship
is ever ready to strike in her defense.
Heaven's fire never fe'l upon a fairer
altar than that which southern man
hood has erected to southern woman
hood, no more devout worshipper ever
| knelt at the shrine of a purer idol,
j Place in her fair, brave hands the
i Stars and SHpes, drape her lovelir ess
wTth the Bonny Blue flag and throw
i around them both a phalanx of pride,
patriotism and love that will defy
; every foe of Southern virtue and free
dom. She is worthy of love and wo
! ship; history has proved that no more
beautiful form ever sped on swifter
feet to answer duty's call; pain was
' never lulled by a tenderer touch, and
sorrow was never soothed by a sweet
er lullaby than that lisped by her lips
of love and cheer. Her priceless vir
tues are jewels set in golden circle of
a true manhood that placed upon the
finger of God sparkles with the radi
ance of His sweetest smile.
But I have detained you upon the
verandah too long. 1 will throw open
the doors of our homes and let you
in, God's sunlight never warmed into
blossom and beauty a fairer land than
old Georgia. A truer manhood never
offered to you a nobler love, a tender
!er touch never reposed in a kinder
hand than that which it extends to
you, a more generous welcome never
fell from more loving lips than that
which Georgia's sons speak to you,
today. Princely, patriotic, proud and
brave, ever ready to kneel in hospit
able homage at the shrine of friend

NEURALGIA. .
A Disease of the Blood Rec jlting from some Constitutional Taint
Inherited or Acquired— Caused by Impoverished Blood, which
is Always Shown by the Afflicted One’s Pallor and
Emaciation—How it May be Cured.
t
From the Graphic, RushviUe, Jnd,
Miss Pearl Wood, a popular young lady of
Arlington, Indiana. Two years ago Miss
Wood became seriously afflicted with facial
neuralgia and was not relieved of her suf
fering until about eight months ago.
She says, “1 had fairly good health until
two years ago when the facial neuralgia de
veloped. It started with occasional pains
in my jaws and I did not know what the
trouble was. I went to a dentist, thinking
my teeth needed treating, but the dentist said
such was not the case as it was facial neural
gia. Our physician said the same thing and
he gave me medicine which relieved the pain
for awhile.
“ A few weeks later I woke up one night
with a fearful pain in my head. I tried dif
ferent remedies, but could not get rid of the
awful pain. I managed to pull through, how
ever, till morning, when the doctor was sent
for. lie said it was another attack of the
trouble and I was apt to have a serious lime
of it. His prophecy proved true. I suffered
severely from this disease for many weeks.
The pains often came in the night and were
so severe that it was impossible to sleep.
We tried a different doctor, but lie did me
no good. I bad read articles in the news
pa|ers concerning Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People, and although I had never
read of a cure of any trouble similar to mine
through them, somehow I felt that the pills
might benefit me. Some of our neighbors
had used them with successful results, and I
decided to try them. I sent to RushviUe for
half a dozen boxes. I concluded if they were

worth trying, they were worth a thorough
trial ; but all the medicine was never used.
“Hv the time I had finished the second
box I found I was growing better. I don’t
think I was ever more happy in my life than
over the fact I was getting well. After taking
the third box, the pain which had made life a
a misery, had left me, and when I had finished
the fifth box I was well.”
Neuralgia is the result of some constitu
tional taint which has been inherited or
acquired. It is the direct result of an im
poverished condition of the blood which is
always shown by the afflicted one’s pallor and
emaciation. Any part of the body which has
sensitive nerves may become affected.
Among the many forms of this disease are
headache, nervousness, paralysis, apoplexy
and locomotor ataxia. Some of these were
considered incurable until Dr. Williams’Pink
Pills for Pale People were formulated. To
day thousands testify to having been cured of
*uch diseases by these pills.
No discovery of modern times has proved
such a boon to women as Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the
blood and- nerves invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort of the physician proves un
availing.
For the growing girl they are of the ut
most benefit, for the mother indispensable,
for every woman invaluable. Dr.William*’
Pink Pills are recognized everywhere as a
specific for diseases of the blood and nerve*,
and have proved their efficacy in thousand*
of cases. They are <*ne of the greatest ble**-
iugs ever bestowed upon mankind.
