profit, the fact still stands that
ninety-nine out of a hundred
druggists recommend Chamber

edy for diarrhoea is asked for, and
do so because they know it is the
one remedy that can always be
depended upon, even in the most
severe and dangerous cases, Sold

WARNS
THE PRESIDENT.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 3.— j
Since the President’s return i
from Oyster Bay the White
House cranks have begun again
to put in an appearance. Mrs.
Burgendine, about 50 years old,
of Maripsa, 111 ., called at the
White House to warn the Presi
dent against impending death.
She said she was the mother of
14 children. She carried a pic
tuieof her family with her to
prove her statement.
Mrs. Burgentine announced
she had been advised in a vision
that Mr. Roosevelt was to be
blown up. To a White House
official she said: I have had a
vision in which an angel ap
peared to me and directed me
to warn the President, I did
not find out from the angel just
what is going to be done to the
President, but I know he is not
going to be shot. The angel in
timated that he is to be blown
up.
“I telegraphed the President
a year ago that if he went to
Chicago he would be killed,
but he went anyhow. The
spirit has appeared to me
again, more angrv than ever be
fore, and has warned me that 1
must let the President know
the danger.”
A secret service man told the
woman that over in the treasury
building the President had an
office in which such warnings
were received. He led her over
to the office of John E. Wilkie,
chief of the secret service. She
was then handed over to the
police to undergo an examina
tion as to her sanity.
An old man, a harmless crank
with no particular grievauce,
was led away from the execu
tive office Saturday while try
ing to see the President. He
did not appear to seek to do any
harm and was not arrested.
Violent Attack of Diarrhoea
Cured by Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and Perhaps
a Life Saved.
l ( A short time ago I was taken
with a violent attack of diarrhoea
and believe I would have died if
I had not gotten relief,” says
John J. Patten, a leading citizen
of Patton, Ala. “A friend recom
mended Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
I bought a twenty-five cent bottle
and after taking three doses of it
was entirely cured. I consider it
the best remedy in the world for
bowel complaints. For sale by
Wight & Browne.
In another column of today’s
Messenger will be found the an
nouncement of the “annual ex
cursion to Savannah” by the At
lantic Coast Line on the 17 th day

Cholera Infantum.
This disease has lost its terrors
since Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy came
into general use. The uniform
success which attends the use of
this remedy in all cases of bowel
complaints in children has made
it a favorite wherever its value
has become known. For sale by
