A Good Liniment,
When you need a good reliable lini-

has no superior for sprains and swell-

plaster for lame back or pains in the
side or chest. It also relieves rheuma-
tic pains and makes sleep and rest
possible. For sale by City Drug Store,

“Now. look at Mrs. DeMar. She al-
nounced in the Scranton (Pa.) Times
that he had found a new way to treat
that dread American disease, rheuma-
tism, with just common, every-day
drugs found in any drug store, the
physicians were slow indeed to attach
much importance to his claims. This
was only a few months ago. Today
nearly every newspaper in the coun-
try, even the metropolitan dailies, is
announcing it and the splendid results
achieved. It it so simple that anyone
can prepare it at home at small cost.
It is made up as follows: Get from
any good prescription pharmacy Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-balf ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com-
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. These are
all simple ingredients, making an ab-
solutely harmless home remedy at
little cost.
Rheumatism, as everyone knows, is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is
a condition produced by the failure of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, if not eradicated, either
in the urine or thru the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles,
causing the untold suffering and de-
formity of rheumatism.
This’ prescription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and invig-
orating tonic to the kidneys,and gives
almost immediate relief in all forms
of bladder and urinary troubles and
backache. He also warns people in a
leading New York paper against the
discriminate use of many patent medi-
cines.

Many Uses for Salt.
This common substance plays an
uncommonly versatile part i n our
lives and the economy of our bodies.
Here are a few of the uses to which it
may be put:
A teaspoonful of salt in one pint of
water used once a week will prevent
hair falling out.
A teaspoonful of dry salt taken two
times a day is an excellent remedy for
indigestion.
Cows should have rock salt in every
field.
A strong solution of salt in warm
water is an antidote for many , oisons
particularly those of an acid nature.
Most skin diseases are relieved by
adding salt to the bathing water.
Nasal catarrh is greatly relieved by
a warm salt water douche.
Strong salt water as a gargle will
cure most cases of sore throat.
A pinch of salt added to table mus-
tard prevents it souring.
Sait in water will cleanse foul jars
and glass bottles.
Salt dissolved in ammonia or alco-
hol will remove grease spots.
Salt hardens the gums, whitens the
teeth and sweetens the breath.
Salt puts out fires. A few handfuls
thrown down a blazing chimney will
put out the blaze.
With a theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, L. T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man, has built up an Immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead-
ing cities of the country, and in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens of thousands,
and his preparation has sold in im-
mense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In view
of this, the following statements from
two of the great number of followers
which he now has, are of general in-
terest
Mrs. Agnes Viggenhouser, of 942 St
Louis Avenue, Chicago, has the follow-
ing to say on the subject of the Cooper
preparations: “For more than ten
years I was broken down in health. I
could not sleep and I was very ner-
vous. Gradually I began to lose my
memory, until I could not remember
things from one day to another. I had
severe pains and cramps in my body,
and I would at times see dark spots
before my eyes. I was unable to do
any work whatever, aa my strength
was falling. I had no appetite, nor
could I take any medicine.
I had about given up hope of ever
being well again when I read of Mr.
A Reliable Remedy for Croup.
Mrs. S. Rosinthal, of Turner,Mich.,
says: “We have used Chamberlain’s
Cough medicine for ourselves and chil-
dren for several years and like it very
much. I think tt is the only remedy for
croup and can highly recommend it.”

The Mediaeval Grocer.
In an interesting and informing lec-
ture at the Agricultural ball Mr. J
Aubrey Rees discoursed on “Grocers
Past and Present.” "Grocers,* he said,
“were once called pepperers. because
they dealt in pepper and spices. Their
history would seem to begin about
1180. when there is an entry on the
Pipe Rolls referring to the London
Guild of Pepperers.” Then in 1310
Mr. Rees finds a reference in the city
records to one William Chambers be-
ing apprenticed to John Guter, a "gros-
sarius” of Soper lane. The title seems
due to the dealings in things by the
gross—l. e.. In quantities. “In those
days grocers ministered to the lux-
uries of the rich. Now," said Mr. Rees
tersely, “they distribute the necessities
of the poor.” The appearance of tea
changed the business greatly and took
the place of drugs, which parliament
forbade grocers to sell.—London News.

that Mr. Redman had some land rent-

A Hard Debt to Pay.
“I owe a debt of gratitude that can
never be paid off,” writes G.S.Clark,
of Westfield, Iowa, “for my rescue
from death by Dr. King's New Discov-
ery. Both lungs were so seriously af-
fected that death seemed imminent,
when I commenced taking New Dis-
covery. The ominous dry, hacking
cough quit before the first bottle was
used, and two more bottles made a
complete cure.” Nothing has ever
equaled New Discovery for coughs,
colds and all throat and lung com-
plaints. Guaranteed by Man & Sim-
mons, druggists. 50 cts and SI. Trial

Decatur People Give Credit Where
Credit is Due.
People of Decatur who suffer with
sick kidneys and bad backs want a
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon, The best is Doan’s Kidney
Pills, a medicine for the kidneys only,
made from pure roots and herbs, and
the only one that is backed by cures
in Decatur. Here’s Decatur testimony:
G. W. King, farmer, living eight
miles northwest of Decatur, Texas,
R. F. D. No. 4, says: “About four
years ago I strained my back and
was laid up" for six weeks. Kidney
trouble came on and the doctors fin-
ally told me I had Bright’s disease
and that they could do nothing for
me. Two boxes of Doan's kidney

Cooper's remedies. I decided to gfv
them a ♦rial, and I began to feel better
a, or ?e. After taking the medicine for
two weeks I can say that I am a new .
woman. I can eat with enjoyment, the
pains in my body have left me, and I I
am stronger than I have been tor
years.
"I cannot say enough for Mr
Cooper’s remedies. They are wonder-
ful, for they have done everything
claimed for them in my case.”
Another statement by Mr. W. B.
Stewart, 109 W. Madison St. Chicago, *
is as follows: "I have had stomach
trouble for years, and anyone who is
afflicted this way knows what an awful
distressed feeling it causes. Many a
time I have felt that I would give most
any price to be cured. It was by ao-
