The Anti-Scalpers Law. A decision has just been handed down by the court of appeals in a test case of the Anti-Scalpers laws. The decision was written by Chief Judge Parker and states that the law is clear ly unconstitutional. The opinion re cites that while there may abuses ap pear in the business of buying and selling railroad and steamship tickets, yet there is no way to prevent a person from dealing in a class of merchandise, i Pains in the chest when a person has a cold indicate a tendency toward pneumonia. A piece of flannel damp ened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound onto the chest over the seat of pain will promptly leave the seat of pain and prevent the threatened attack of pneumonia. This same treatment will cure a lame back in a few hours. Sold L. Taggart. Dec. Two Pointed Questions Answered. What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it? Ans. —As there is no difference in the price, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know yonr make is the best? If both are brought prominently be fore the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take up with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to tho one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and croup there is noth ing equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
