A Sure Sign of Croup. Hoarseness in a child who is a subject to croup is a sure indication of the approach of the disease. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given, as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has appeared it will prevent the attack. Many mothers who have croupy children always keep this remedy at hand and find that it saves them much trouble and worry. It can always be depended upon and is pleasant to take.

The censorship of the press leads to amusing expedients for filling up space in the newspapers of Barcelona. The most sensational of Spanish newspapers are now’ forced to print a good many cooking receipts, remedies for mosquito bites, etc., to fill up.

There is a medicine whose proprietors do not claim to have discovered some hitherto unknown ingredient, or that it is a cure-all.

Holthouse Callow & Co. n Ttie demand tor sardines has run so far short of the supply that the French factories are closing their doors, and the government has been asked to come to the relief of this important national industry by making a ration of five or ten sardines daily part of the regular fare of the French soldier. Greensbubo.Pa., July 11, 1898. About four years ago one side of my abdomen began to enlarge from growth inside. It grew to such proportions that it seemed to fill the abdomen. Then dropsy began and swelled both legs and stomach to twice their normal size. The doctors called the trouble enlargement of tne spleen, and told me I must die. I was removed from the hospital and sent for Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm. I took seven bottles and continually gained and am well in every way now. The dropsy entirely disappeared and left the growth verv small. Michael O’Nell. For sale by Holthouse, Callow At Co. n

Who can smile at an insult, and never notice it. Who can smile when she gets up and when she goes to sleep, thus greeting the coming day, and at the end of it blotting out all disagreeables. Who can smile for her friend and her friends and for her enemies, as it will keep the former and is the best weapon against the latter. Who can smile no matter how she feels, for she is the woman who has learned not only to rule herself, but who w-ill gain dominion over the cook, and that means that she can govern comfort. A Case of Kidney Disease given up by four doctors. Beaver, Dam, O. My daughter, after being treated by four doctors and given up for lost, a neighbor reccommended Foley’s Kidney Cure.

Callow & Co. n A person who walks on a railroad trestle takes all the risks. The railroad is not responsible for carelessness by which its engineer fails to stop in time to avoid killing him. The supreme court overruled the petition for a rehearing in the case of John Ulrich against the Big Four railroad company. Ulrich sued as administrator to recover SIO,OOO damages for the death of Peter Nagle, who was killed on the trestle over Wilson Creek near Aurora, Ind. The circuit court decided against him, and its judgment was affirmed on appeal. There was an attempt to charge a willful killing, but the court decided that, at most, the engineer was only negligent, and that the company was not liable. From New Zealand, Reefton, New Zealand, Nov. 23. 1896. I am very pleased to state that since I took the agency of Chamberlain's medicines the sale has been very large, more especially of the Cough Remedy. In two years I have sold more of this particular remedy than of all other makes for the previous five years. As to its efficacy, I have been informed by scores of i>ersons of the good results they have received from it and know its value from the use of it in my own household. It is so pleasant to take that we have to place the bottle beyond the reach of the children. E. J? Scantlebcry. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co, n
