In the good
old days the
sexton announc-
ed a death in
the community
by a stroke on
the church bell
for every year of
the life that was
gone. People
expected, then, to live to old
age, and speculation at the
first tap of the bell took a
narrow range including only
those who had lived the al-
lotted time. There is no rea-
son why people should not
have the same expectancy of
age to-day, except for the
neglect and abuse of the one
organ on which all the other
organs depend—the stomach.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med-
ical Discovery enables men
and women to be strong and
healthy, by curing diseases of
the stomach (and other or-
gans of digestion and nutri-
tion), which prevent the
proper nourishment of the
body.
" I had been sick for two years
with indigestion and nervous de-
bility, and had taken
niedicine from my fam-
ily doctor for a long time
without much benefit,”
writes Mrs. W H. Pee-
bles, of Lucknow, S. C.
"Was induced by my
husband to consult Dr.
Pierce by letter. You
advised me to take
‘ Golden Medical Discov-
ery ’ and ‘ Favorite Pre-
scription,' which I did,
and, to my great sur-
prise, after taking six
bottles I was cured.”
The Medical Ad-
viser, in paper cov-
ers, is sent free for
2r one-cent stamps to
pay expense of mail-
ing only. Address

Buffalo, N Y.
A Startling Test.
To save a life, Dr. T. G. Mer-
ritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa.,
made a startling test resulting
in a wonderful cure. He writes
“A patient was attacked with vi-
olent hemorrhages, caused by ul-
ceration of the stomach. I had
often found Electric Bitters ex-
cellent for acute stomach and
liver troubles so I prescribed
them. The patient gained from
the first, and has not had an at-
tack in 13 months.” Electric
Bitters are positively guaranteed
for Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Con-
stipation and Kidney troubles.
Try them. Only 50c at A. John-

176 Warren Avenue,
Chicago, III., Oct. 22,1902.
For nearly four years I suffered
from ovarian troubles. The doc-
tor insisted on an operation as the
only way to get well. I, however,
strongly objected to an operation.
My husband felt disheartened as
well as I, for home with a sick
woman is a disconsolate place at
best. A friendly druggist advised
him to get a bottle of Wine of
Cardui for me to try, and he did so.
I began to improve in a few days and
my recovery was very rapid. With-
in eighteen weeks I was another
being.
Mrs. Stowe s letter shows every
woman how a home is saddened by
female weaknes and how completely
Wine of Cardui cures that sick-
ness and brings health and happi-
ness again. Do not go on suffer-
ing'. Go to your druggist today
and secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine
of Cardui.

The Threat of Anarchism.
There is a great danger lying
along the lines of the liquor traf-
fic that we do not fully compre-
hend. If a man shoot a Presi-
dent, you call him an anarchist,
and you cry out as loudly and as
emphatically as you can against
him and against the cause of an-
archism to which he is devoted.-
What is an anarchist? It is a
man who defies and overrides
the law. He says: “This law is
not a good one, and consequently
it ought not to be obeyed, and I
will violate it. It is true it for-
bids my shooting down the Pres-
ident, but what care I for that?
Shoot him down I will.” And
the voice of the nation goes up
like the voice of one man in de-
nunciation of that man’s act.
Now why do we not follow the
principle out to its logical con-
clusion? Why are we not con-
sistent in our denunciation? Why
is not the nation consistent? And
why are not the authorities of
the land consistent in this mat-
ter of anarchy? Go into any
large city—go there next Sun-
day; ask what the law is with ref-
erence to the traffic in intoxica-
ting drinks, and you will learn
that one item of the law is that
the saloon shall be closed on the
Sabbath. There it is, just as
positive and just as plain as it
can be. Will the saloons be
closed? Were they closed last
Sunday? Will the law be execu-
ted next Sunday? Was it execu-
ted last Sunday? Is there not a
large class of people who say:
“We defy the law, and we over-
ride it; we care nothing for it,
and though it forbids us to carry
on this traffic on the Lord’s day
we will carry it on nevertheless. ’ ’
This is anarchy.
Now if anarchy can do that,
why can’t it do the other? And
tell me, my friends, where are
you going to draw the line? What
law are you going to enforce?
How many of these laws are you
going to allow the anarchists to
override? I wish to say that
right here there is a danger in
our land which our citizens fail
to realize. They are encouraging
the people to trample upon the
law, and ask the question, What
are you going to do about it?
And if you will follow it on, and
follow it up, you will see that
some day great crimes will be
committed on this very princi-
ple.—Bishop J. N. Fitzgerald, in
Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate. _________
“My mother has been a suffer-
er for many years with rheuma-
tism,” says W. H. Howard, of
Husband, Pa. “At times she
was unable to move at all, while
at all times walking was painful.
I presented her with a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and
after a few applications she de-
cided it was the most wonderful
pain reliever she had ever tried,
in fact, she is never without it
now and is at all times able to
walk. An occasional application
of Pain Balm keeps away the pain
that she was formerly troubled
with.’’ For sale by Ambrose
Johnson,

The following extract from the
report of the grand jury in Smith
county speaks volumes for the
efficacy of the local option law:
“We find from our investigation
that crime of a grave nature is
on the decrease in this county.
In pursuance to the special
charge of the court, we have
spent a greater portion of our
time in the investigation of mis-
demeanor cases, such as the
violations of the local option law,
and we have found and returned
into this court 18 bills of indict-
ment for this offense. We confi-
dently hope and believe that if
the local option law is rigidly en-
forced in this county that all
grades of crime will decrease,
thereby lessening the work of
the future grand juries and the
courts of the county.”
Quick Arrest
J. A. Gulledge of Verbena,
Ala., was twice in the hospital
from a severe case of piles caus-
ing 24 tumors. After doctors
and all remedies failed, Buck-
len’s Arnica Salve quickly ar-
rested further inflammation and
cured him. It conquers aches
and kills pain. 25c at A. John-

Wreck on Cotton Belt.
Rusk, May 28.—The south-
bound passenger train was de-
layed here until 12 o’clock last
night by the wreck of a freight
train. The wreck took place late
in the afternoon about a quarter
of a mile south of the Tassie
Belle furnace. The engine went
entirely off the track, the tender
turned top side down, and the
track was torn up for a consider-
able distance. One of the brake-
men was pretty badly hurt.
An Open Letter.
From the Chapin, S. C., News:
Early in the spring my wife and
I were taken with diarrhoea and
so severe were the pains that we
called a physician who prescrib-
ed for us, but his medicines
failed to give any relief. A
friend who had a bottle of Cham-
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy on hand gave
each of us a dose and we at once
felt the effects. I procured a
bottle and before using the en-
tire contents we were entirely
cured. It is a wonderful remedy
and should be found in every
household. II. C. Bailey, Editor.
This remedy is for sale by Am-
brose Johnson.

THE GREATEST OF ALL TQNl“
A Spring Medicine that adds vigor and strength to the sya,
purifies and enriches the Blood, and lays the foundation £t
strong constitution and good health during the hot sultry sumi
Most everybody feels bad in the spring. Some have no particular ailment but are
t.iiedj worn out and totally unfit for work or anything else that requires energy or ef^
They mope around upon the border-land of invalidism, irritable, peevish, hysterical
unreasonable.
A good appetite in the spring is a rarity, and we sicken at the sight of food, or though
of eating,, and what little we do eat is a burden to the stomach and a tax upon the digestion^
Warm weather is sure to bring out the hidden poisons, germs and seeds of disease that
have been collecting in the blood and system dur-
ing wdnter, and you may look for some old chronic
trouble to make its appearance. It is a time, too,
when boils and carbuncles, and pustular or scaly
skin eruptions like eczema and tetter, pay their
annual visits and make life miserable by their
intense pains and intolerable itching and burning.
The fight for health should begin before any
warning symptoms of physical collapse are felt, or
before the seeds of disease have time to germinate
if we would avoid the usual spring sickness; and
with S. S. S., the acknowledged king of blood
purifiers and greatest of all tonics, you can put
your blood and system in such perfect condition
and so strengthen the constitution that one may he as free from sickness and as vigorous and
strong during the trying months of spring and depressing summer season as at any other time.
S. S. S. not only builds you up, but searches out and destroys any poisonous germs or
impurities that may be lurking in the blood. The benefits derived from the use of S. S. S.
are permanent because it acts directly on the blood and purifies and cleanses it of all impure
matter, leaving nothing to cause fermentation and deterioration of this life-giving fluid.
In selecting your blood purifier and spring tonic get one that long experience and thor-
ough test have proven the best. In S. S. S. you will find a remedy whose purifying proper-
ties aie unquestionable, and just such a tonic as your system needs. Ask your druggist for
S. S. S.—there is nothing else just as good.
For the past 40 years we have had a standing offer of $1,000 for proof that S. S. S. con-
tains the least particle of any mineral whatever, and this offer is still open.
Nature’s Remedy
purely Vegetable
Gentlemen : For over four years I suffered with
general debility, causing a thorough breaking
down of my system, so that I was unable to attend
to my household duties. I had tried other medi-
cines, which did not relieve me. Seven years ago
my cousin, who had been benefited by S. S. S.,
told me about it. I tried it and it cured me. I have
been able to attend to my household duties ever
since, experiencing no inconvenience whatever;
in fact, I am able to work in the garden as well as
my house.
I heartily reoommend S. S. S. to all who may
feel the need of a thoroughly good blood tonio,
feeling sure they will be benefited thereby.
Yours truly,
MRS. JOSIE A. BRITTAIN,
44 W. Ninth St., Columbia, Tenn.
