“For three days and nights I suffered agony untold from an attack of cholera morbus brought on by eating cucumbers,” savs M. E. Lowther, clerk of the district court, Centerville, lowa. "I thought I should surely die, and tried a dozen different medicines but all to no purpose. I sent for a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and three doses relieved me entirely." This remedy is for sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. o The man who insists that advertising does not pay has in all probability tried a scheme of his own, one which no experienced man would recommend, and which really could not reasonably be expected to bring'returns. But there are others with different ideas of advertising ask the man who is a business success. Dr. W. H. Lewis, Lawrenceville, Ya., writes, “I am using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in my practice among severe cases of indigestion and find it an admirable remedy.” Many hundreds of physicians depend upon the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in stomach troubles. It digests what you eat. and allows you to eat all the good food providing you do not overload your stomach. Gives instant relief and a permanent cure. Smith, Yager & Falk. tt One of the most lieautiful sights during the beautiful month of October is Venus, which is now the morning star.

Albuquerque, N. M., has the record of the greatest number of sunshiny days in the year of any town on the American continent. The records show a period of three years in which there were but two totally cloudy days, all told that is days in which the sun was not visible at some time between the hours of rising and setting, and the signal service announced in one of its publications not long ago. that “the point of the least annual rainfall in the United States is at Albuquerque, N. M.” Neoga. 111., Oct. 14. ’99. Pepsin Syrup Co., Monticello, 111. Gentlemen: I feel it my duty to express to you my gratitude for what your wonderful remedy has done for me. I was completely run down with a complication of stomach disorders. For ten months I could not work and was treated by three eminent physicians. One insisted upon operating on me, declaring nothing shortof an operation for appendictis would cure me. A friend induced me to trv Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and from the first dose I began to improve, and have not had any trouble since. I have gained 25 pounds in weight and am enjoying the very best of health. I never fail to say a good word for Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin for I know what it has done for me it will do for others. Gratefully yours, Charles Curry. Sold bv Smith. Yager & Falk.

When ho takes his girl out that objectionable dark coat sleeve across a light summer dress will be no more. He will ask her what color of shirt waist or dress she is going to wear, and he will wear a shirt waist of the same color. Couldn’t Translate It. We received a letter recently we were unable to read. We failed to determine the nationality of the writer. The only words we were able to make out were. “Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin cures indigestion.” Smith. Yager & Falk. o Here the bell is rung on the auction, and the more noise about them the better. In Japan they are conducted quietly. The bidding is secret and silent, each person writing his bid on a piece of paper and dropping it into a box. When it appears that all the bidders are in. the box is opened and the highest bidder is named. Du this now. Do you need a cough medicine? If so send for a bottle of Dr. Marshall Lung Syrup.

By druggists. o There are several trees and plants in the world whose berries, juice and bark are as good to wash with as real soap. In the West Indian Islands and in South America grows a tree whose fruit makes an excellent lather and is used for washing clothes. The bark of a tree which grows in Peru and of another which grows in the Malay islands yields a fine soap. The common soapwood, which is indigenous to England, is so full of saponine that simply rubbing the leaves together in water produces a soapy lather. No right to uglineot. The woman who is lovely in face, form and temper will always have friends, but one who would lie attractive must keep her health. If she is weak, sickly and all run down, she will be nervous and irritable. If she has constipation or kidney trouble, her impure blood will cause pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complexion. Electric Bitters is the best medicine in the world to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys, and to purify the blood. It gives strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvetv skin, rich complexion. It will make a good-looking, charming woman of a run-down invalid. Only 50 cents at Page Blackburn’s drug store. We were premitted to give a copy of a letter received by a Georgia candidate: Dear Sir an Fren Hearin that you were in the Raiee for offis. I want to know if you care for the voat of my Settlement. As I goes, so goes that Voat. The Settlement Swars by me. and what I tells them to do they does. It is a white an colored voat mixed, but it is an intellergent voat. If I does say it Myself. It is a voat that can read and rite and count. If you, want that voat. let me know. If you don’t want that voat. I know who does. His Life Seved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: "I was taken with typhoid fever, that ran into pneu monia. My iungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of consumption, when I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it and now am well and strong. I can’t say too much in its praise." This marvellous medicine is the surest and quickest cure in the | world for all throat and lung trouble. | Regular sizes 50c and -?1.

It is 2,000 miles long, from Skagway, Alaska, to Cape Npme. This is a winter route only, as in summer the mail is carried between the two places by steamer. Dig sleds are to lie used as the motive power, with relay stations every thirty miles. The service is to be weeklv both ways, and it is estimated that L’ncle Sam will lose about one dollar on every letter carried over this route for two cents. “One day last w inter a lady came to my drug store and asked fora brand of cough medicine that I did not keep in stock," savs Mr. C. R. Gradin, the popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. “She was disappointed and wanted to know what rough preparation I could recommend. I said to her that I could f reel y recoin mend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it a fair trial if she did not find it worth the monev to bring !>ack the liottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a Ixittle of (hamlierlain's Cough Remedy. I consider that a very good recommendation for the remedy. It is for sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. o
