book the Common Sense Medical Adviser
by R. V. Pierce, M D., chief consulting
physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi
cal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. It tells what
to do in emergency or accident or sudden
sickness. It contains over one thousand
pages, profusely illustrated with engravings
and colored plates. It gives receipts for sev
eral hundred simple, well-tried home rem
edies. It instructs the mother in the care
of her ailing children or husband, and gives
invaluable suggestions for the preservation
of her own health and condition in all
those critical and delicate periods to which
women are subject. The author of this
great work has had a wider practical ex
perience in treating obstinate diseases than
any other physician in this country. His
medicines are world - renowned for their
marvelous efficacy.

EXCHANGED COMPLIMENTT
S.iys the Atlanta Journal :
Gov. Candler and ex-Gov. At
kinson exchanged compliments
with an exchange of overcoats,
and the result was the surprising
apparition of a Candler face sur
mounting an Atkinson overcoat
at the oratorical contest.
The difference between the
height of Gov. Candler and that
of Gov . Atkinson is only about
wj feet, and when the one-eyed
I plowboy appeared in the gar-
Iment f the tall wagon Loy
from Coweta, the effect was al
most startling.
“Gov. Atkinson committed
larceny when he left the |man
sion Saturday,” said Col. Can
dler, “and took my overcoat to
Newnan, leaving his own for
me.
“You know that Gov. Atkin
son is tall, and what the bojs
c ill ‘slim-c nnplected,’ and I be
-1 eve ir cutting things sboit.
The result was that when I got
into his coat my appealance was
somewhat like that of David
when he put on Saul’s armor.
“I was booked for the orator
ical contest Saturday night, and
as it was cold I had to wear an
overcoat. There was none to’wear
but Gov. Atkinson’s, so I put
it on and did the best I could.
Since then Gov. Atkinson re
turned my coat and I sent him
his back with the message "that
his mantle had literally fallen
on me, and I hoped I might
r it as worthily as he did.’’
