mu : as tbe cnioride of gold treatment
for dipaomonia (btbitual drinking) and
tbe opiam addiction is attracting so
mocb attention at tbe present time, and
basing had some experience with tbe
drag myself, with your permission
Nr.Editor,I will give your readers some
facts in regard to this new (so called)
remedy.
Doctor Robert Bartholow both in bis
lectures and his work on matena medics
(was fortuuate enough to attend bis
lectures in Fniltdelphia) many years
ago called tbe attention of the medical
profession to tbe chloiide of gold or
rather tbe chloride of gold and sodium
tbe form usually prescribed
as a remedy of great value in diseases
of the stomach and nervous system and
in both lostertitial and Psranobym*-
tous Nephritis, or the so called Brights
disease of tbe kidneys, in their chronic
forms. So tbe remedy is not a new ooe
as many suppose, originated by Dr.
Keeley, who is using it with so much
reputed success to cure habi.usl drink*
ers snd opium users but is as seen an
old one. There are some parts in regard
to this drug tnatsboud be known. First,
It should be remembered by tbose who
conirmplste trying it.
That tbe chloride of gold or tbe chlo
ride and sodium is a violent corrosive
poison, resembling very much in its ef
fects tbe bi-ebloride of mercury or
corrosive sublimate, produ-ing death
in over doses, in very mucti the same
way and mauoer as ibis powerful
drug. Most authorities agree that it is
unsafe in larger doses ibau ibe 1-10 of
a grain repeated three tim> s daily, 1-30
to 1-16 of a grain being the cu.tomary
dose. U further, like ihe preparations
of mercury, is lisble to, and will, uuless
used cautiously, produce or cause sali
vation, and its prolonged adminietra
lion brings on a lorui ot fevei .known as
auric or gold tever. So it may be
seen from the outset, that it is a dan
gerous drug to “tamper” with, and one
that should be used only under tbe
direction of a pbyaklao who under
siarius his business.
Notwithstanding the fac' that, in
m- dicinal doses, it increases
or augmen a all "be se
cretions of the gasti -intesti; at
tract—notsbiy that oi tb* liver in
creating the fl.iw of bile wt. ..b is na
tore’s cartbaruc, unlike diu^s of like
character, constipation is usually one
of tbe results of its administration,
showing again that only tbose acquain
ted with its physiological edicts should
administer it. It is questionable in
deed, whether the drug should ever be
admiuister'd alone, as satisfactory re
sults can <>nly be obtained, or expected
by a thorough knowledge of its physio
logical effects, and a proper combina
tion with it or following it soon, by
proper eliminative and cathartic reme
dies b st our drug proves worse than
usehss and like a boomerang, come
bayk and strike us to our heart.
Hence even doctor Hammond,
who has not given the drug a fair trial,
says in a recent article on the subject:
That i r is of no value in "he treatment
of dipsomaniacs as Dr. Keeley claims,
notwithstanding tbe 6worn statement
of men and women of unquetfionablt
veracity, who state under oath that

THE DISPENSARY A SUCCESS.
What the Outside World Thinks of
Athens’ Institution.
Says the Washington Chronicle:
The Athens papers report that one
month’s working of the dispensary
which they have established shows s
profit of a little over $1500. As we un
derstand it, the object of the dispensa
ry in Athens is by no means to make
profit for tbe city, but to diminish tbe
profits from the sale of liquor by stop
ping so far as possible all the drinking
to which mon are tempted by the in-
citemens of other men. It is believed
that a considerable part of the drink
ing is indeed by tbe temptation of tbose
who make money out of selling liquor.
One means of temptation is an attract
ive saloon.
The sum of $1500 seems a considerable
S rofit for one month, but it may be
iminution of the liquor business in
Athens. It is probable that it is so. It
may be however that tbe purity of the
liquor sold in Athens will trade from
the outside, and thns tbe diminution of
drinking in Athens might not show or
show in part.
Tbe diminution in the amount of li
quor drank is one teat of tbe efficacy of
a dispensary. There is however another
It ought to some considerable extent to
stop the mskipg young men drunkards,
which is one of the
against saloons.
Tbe working of the dispensary will

misunderstood. It will be misrepresen
ted by those who want to be making the
money themselves. It will be misunder

complished by law and who will call it a
failure because it does not accomplish
what it does not undertake via: the
redemption of all drunkards by law

fair trial. The principles of it is to
keep temptation from being offered to
men who have not learned to love drink
or who would atop drinking hat for
temptation. The principle is capable
of somewhat greater extension, and if
successful, will doubtless be extended.
There are some cases of giving away
liquor which it would be perfectly
practicable to make a misdemeanor.
If a town or county desired to in
crease the use of liquor in order to
make profit it would be infamous. But
if that $1500 is the profit which would
be made whether there were a dispen
sary or not, there is no discredit in hav

from Mr Scarboro, was given a prelim

over for larceny from the house in the
sura of three hundred dollars.
Lawyer's Cotxrie.—The four cor

“Lawyers Coterie.” Out of the thirty
members of the Athens bat, sixteen of
them have offices in this quarter. It is
a lively crowd, too.

very slow movement on the part of the
voters to register for the coming pri

very slimly. In the first ward, not
quite two hundred have registered,
while in the fourth, they haven’t turned

Thb East Athens School.—Mr. R.
L. Bloomfield, who offered the city a lot
on which to build a school house on the
eastern side of the river, has notified

only a limited time. That body will
probably contract for tbe building of
the new school in East Athens at once.

The mayoralty race is settled and
Messrs. Tuck and Brown may retire

between two small boys in the Banneb

that one of them should have the office

Whiskers, whiskers!
Side whiskers; chin whiskers; mus

The Bahheb’s editorial yesterday
about whiskers in politics caused some
talk on the streets.
“Along in the thirties and forties,”

“whiskers and mustache were very un
fashionable. So much so that the pos

question, “What was it.”
“In a few days thereafter, the afore-
said editor received a cumbrous letter
enclosing a great quantity of hair. In

Well, the Bannbb’s editorial showed

Is That Constructed by Mr. Isaac C.
Swift-
Of the numerous buildings that hare
been erected in Athens during the past
year, none have a more imposing ap
pearance and none will do more good in
the general upbuilding of tbe city than
tbe magnificent new building of Mr.
Isaao G Swift, on the corner ot Broad
and Fpuodry streets.
It will be occupied by Messrs
Hodgson Bros, and the office of the
branch agency of S- M. Inm&Vi A Co.,
in charge of Mr. J. S Cowlea
It is certainly one of the most conven
ient buildings in Athens for its purpose,
indeed the most convenient.
It is near the business portion of the
city ;it corners ou too important streets;
and the rear of the building is on the
Macon A Northern road.
This gives a great advantage in saving
of drayage, and tbe convenience of
transportation.
Mr. Swift is to be congratulated up
on having built thia building, and al
though he has been a citizen of Athens
but a short while, still he has shown
his utmost faith in her future and is
helping to build her up.
Athens wants a lew more citizens
like him, and the old city wju hum.
SURPRISING TESTIMONY.
Many physicians who have examined
into the merits of B. B, B. (Botanic
Blood Balm), have been confronted
with testimony which they deemed sur
prising, and thus being convinced of
its wonderful efficacy, have not failed
to prescribe ifcin their practice as occa
sion required.
H. L. Cassidy, Kennesaw, Ga,
writes: “For two years my wife was a
great sufferer. Skillful physicians did
her no good. Her mouth was one solid
ulcer, her body was broken out in sores,
aud she lost a beautiful head of hair.
Three bottles B. B. B. cured her com
pletely, incredible as it may sound, and
she is now tbe mother of a healthy
three-months old baby dear from any
scrofulous taint.”

writes: “Hot Springs and several doc

THB NBW MERCANTILE AGENCY.
Its Aims. Objects, and the Resul ts Ac
complished.
The New Mercantile Agenoy, lately
established in Athens,might be describ
ed as a Merchant’s League, as tbe fol
lowing objects they have in view will
prove.
They have bit npon a plan which
when set in motion on an individual
who has for a time persistently refused
“to settle” or give any satisfaction,
couveuoes said individual that tbe soon
er he “antis” up it will be beet for hie
own interests.
Every merchant in Athena knows too
well, that a considerable amount of bis
capital is locked up from one season to
another in certain bands; and that just
when be could use his money to jrood
purpose, or is in urgent need of-it to
pay off his obligations, he cannot get it.
The Athens mercha ts have reaolv«d
that this condition of affairs cannot be
tolerated any longer. Most ot them
have only a limited capital, and
banks are getting so they
will not make any ad*
vances; thus compelling the merchants
to make better use of the money they
have in their respective business.
Some of our citizens may be put to a
Utile incoovenienoe to find money at
onoe to pay up their indebtedness; but
\ve trust they will not feel sore over it,
is our merchants for years have been
suffering much inconvenience from
their tardiness and even denying their
families many comforts because their
money was In the hands of other
people.
In about one month some $3,000 of
bad debts have been recovered, some
accounts as old as eight and ten
years have been gotten.
This movement although it will be
disliked by some is bound to produce
muoh good In our midst. It will pro
tect our mereban's and create a healthy
spirit of thrift and economy.
Tom Nickerson is secretary of this
organization and tbe few remaining
merchants who have not beoome mem
bers are invited to inquire from him
for further {information.

MOVING ALONG SMOOTHLY
With all Differences Amicably
Adjusted.
A few days since an application was
filed in the U. S. Circuit Court at At
lanta for a receiver to be appointed for
the A theos Street Railway Company.
Thia petition was field by a Philadelphia
company who held an account against
the Railroad Company.
This application was simply a move
ment to enforce a settlement. .
Th railway company on the other
band claimed damages on account of
delay, faulty work, etc., and on these
grounds refused to settle the full
amount claimed by the Philadelphia
company.
Terms of agreement were reached and
the whole matter is settled.
The Athens Street Railway Company
is as solvent as any corporation in Ath
ens and is doing a thriving and pros
perous business.
