The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positve cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Served as coffee, the new coffee substitute known to grocers everywhere as Dr. Shoop’s Health Coffee, will trick even an expert. -Not a grain of real coffee in it either.

THE CURSE OF COLIC Your best horse is no doubt worth $200.00 or more. All of your horses are liable to a sudden attack of colic. You cannot afford to lose them. When colic comes there is no time to plan no time to drive miles in search of aid, no time to mix old fashioned medicines. A quick and certain cure la necessary. , There is a cure for all kinds of eollo, wind eolie, spasmodio eolle, flatulent oolio and indigestion, which comes from eating to fast, over loading the stomach or drinking too frequently. THAT CURE IS Rawlelgh’s Mountain Herb Liniment I sell this wonderful, pain relieving medicine on a positiveguarantee to cure colic in horses, or no pay. I want every owner of horses who reads this advertisement to keep a bottle of this Liniment on my Ftee Trial Plan and test it on the most severe eases of colic and if it faila—but it neveryn]! —the trial will cost you absolutely nothing. It is the greatest colic medicine of the age. This is a strong claim but I can prove it —every word of it. If your horse gets sick a SI.OO bottle may save you SIOO, perhaps S2OO. Can you afford to take the risk of being without it ? Think this over until the Rawleigh Man calls. I am the Rawleigh Man. Send Orders to WM. PUCKETT, Jr., R «UH, ,on ’
