LaCrippe Successfully Treated.
“I have just recovered from the
attack of la grippe this year,”
says Mr. Jus. A. Jones, Mexia, Tex.
“In the latter case I used Cham
berlaiu’s Ceugli Remedy, and I
think with considerable success,
only being in bed a little over two
days, against ten days for the for¬
mer attack. The second attack 1
am satisfied would have been equally
as bad as the first but for the use of
this remedy, as I had to go to bed
in about six hours after being
‘struck’ with it, while in the first
case I was able to attend to busi¬
ness about two days before getting
down.” For sale by Luke & Asbiey.

tilizer shipments this season 0 , 5 1)7
tons.
Total same date last season
1 a2,000 tons.
The sales of tags by the depart¬
ment of agriculture show that so
far the shipments of fertilizers in
Georgia this season are less than
half the tonnage that moved up to
this time last season, and the Janu¬
ary shipments up to the 18th are
little more than a third of last year’s
movement.
The fertilizer business has been
growing since the department rec
ord began in the season of 1874 -5,
and, with now and then a check,
consumption has gone upward with
leaps and bounds.
The only marked exception to
this heretofore was in the season of
1894—5, 'when it dropped one-third.
Since then the sales have steadily
increased and the season of 1897--8
showed the enormous consumption
of 424,081 tons.
The fertilizer season begins in
October and continues until May;
but the bulk of the shipments ,. move
m January, February anc March.
lhe shipments im-luue fertilizers of
all kinds and cotton seed meal used
for fertilizing purposes.
How to Prevent Pneumonia.
You are perhaps aware that pneu¬
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe a few
years ago, when so many cases re¬
sulted in pneumonia, it was ob¬
served that the attack was never fol¬
lowed by that disease when Cham¬
berlain’s Cough Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of a
cold or la grippe to result in that
dangerous disease. It is the best
remedy in the world for bud colds
and ia grippe. Every bottle war¬
ranted. For sal9 by Luke &
Ashler.
