IN EVERY
HOUSEHOLD
It is necessary to have on hand
some physic ready for immediate
use, and for this purpose we con¬
fidently recommend
Robinson’s
Black Bitters
They are no sure cure remedy,
but they do act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys, bowels and other
vital organs pleasantly, promptly
and as a rule do not gripe or pain.
Are Guaranteed
To be of benefit in cases of slug¬
gish feeling, can’t sleep, dark
rings under the eyes, sallow skin,
sour belches, heartburn, full feel¬
ing after meals, backache from in¬
active kidneys, constipation, loss
of appetite, headache from billious
ness, constipation or over-eating,
indigestion, pain in stomach after
a hearty meal, etc., etc.
It’s a liquid medicine prepared
only
By One Person
Dr. Luke Robinson, and cannot be
prepared by anyone else. For he
alone knows from 20 years practi¬
cal experience how to so combine
the following 17 roots, barks, herbs
gums, etc., to make a palatable
sure relief
Household Remedy
Stillingia, Berberis-Aquifol, Bur¬
dock Root, Prickly Ash, Sarsapa¬
rilla Root, Polk Root, Rhubard
Root, Columbo, Gentian, Aloin,
Tr. Nux Vom., Iron, with styptic
taste removed, F. E. Ginger, F.
E. Guiac, F. E. Cascara Segranda,
Tincture Peppermint, 8 year old
pure corn whiskey to preserve the
ingredients.
Ask your family doctor about
the above ingredients and he will
tell you that they compose largely
his main drugs in the above cases.
I feel quite sure that one in any of
the above conditions can find
No better
Medicine than Robinson’s Black
Bitteis for their troubles. Remem¬
ber every bottle sold on its merits.
If not benefitted call on the agent
you bought of, carry your bottle
back, write vour name on the label
and tell the agent what you were I
taking it for and say your case was ,
not benefitted and get your money ;
back. Isn’t that fair? I have
never as yet had a bottle returned.
How does that speak for the
medicine?

FEET OF SEA BEASTS.
Their Appearance When the Skin Is
Stripped Off.
Of all the feet that I have looked at
I know only one more utterly ridicu¬
lous than the twisted flipper on which
the sea lion props bis great bulk in
front, and that is the forked fly flap
which extends from the binder part of
the same. How can it be worth any
beast’s while to carry such an absurd
apparatus with it Just for the sake of
getting out into the air sometimes and
pushing oneself about on the ice and
being eaten by polar bears? The por¬
poise has discarded one pair, turned the
other into decent fins and recovered a
grace and power of motion in water
which is not equaled by the greyhound
on land. Why have the seals hung
back? I believe I know the secret It
is the baby! No one knows where the
porpoise and the whale cradle their
newborn Infants—it Is so difficult to
pry into the domestic ways of these
sea people—but evidently the seals
cannot manage It, so they are forced
to return to the land when the cares of
maternity are on them.
I have called the feet of these sea
beasts ridiculous things, and so they
are as we see them. But strip off the
■kin, and, lo, there appears a plain
foot, with Its five digits, each of sev¬
eral Joints, tipped with claws, nowise
essentially different, in short, from
that with which the toad or frog first
set out in a past too distant for our
Infirm imagination. Admiration itself
Is paralyzed by a contrivance so sim¬
ple, so transmutable and so sufficient
for every need that time and change
could bring.—Strand Magazine.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
SOUTH PLACE FOR FARMER.
Says Secretary Wilson in an Address
At Durham. N. C.
Durham, N. C., November 5.—“The
place for the farmer now is in the
south, where the soil is friendly to
nearly every product of the country, ’ ’
declared Secretary Wilson, of the Na¬
tional Farmers’ Congress during its
visit to Durham to inspect the tobacco
factories here.
Secretary Wilson said he had noth¬
ing against education in schools and
colleges of the country, but that their
tendency had been to educate away
from the farms instead of toward
them. He expressed his sympathy
with the man who proposed an agri¬
cultural school for every county,
whether that school be an actual in¬
stitution or merely a place where
farmers met and discussed farming.
Secretary Wilson boasted of the
freedom of his department from poli¬
tics. He declared that of the 11,000
men under him, he did not know the
politics of even eleven of them.
While Secretary Wilson, whose pres¬
ence had not been expected, was ad¬
dressing the farmers downtown, Am¬
bassador James Brice, of Great Brit¬
ain, was urging upon the students of
Trinity college the necessity of culti¬
vating friendships formed at college
both among men and among text¬
books. He congratulated the south
upon the number of men it sends to
college for preparation for business
as well as professional life.
