Millionaires' Poor Stomach.
The worn-out stomach of the over- I
fed millionaire is often paraded ill the
public prints as a horrible example of
the evilß attendant on the possession of
great wealth But millionaires are not
t>he only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The proportion is
far greater among the toilers. I)ys
pepsia and indigestion are rampant
among these people,and they suffer far
worse tortures than the millionaire un
less they avail themselves of a stand
ard medicine like Green's August
Flower, which has been a favorite
household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over thirty five years. Au
gust Flower rouses the torpid liver,
thus creating appetite and insuring
perfect digestion. It tones and vital
izes the entiro system and makes life
worth living, no matter what your sta
tion. Trial bottles, 25c; regular size
75c, at L. Taggart. 3S-ly-l.
Shirt waist suits have a dressy look
which the separate waist can never at
tain.
J2sctiped an Awful Fate.
Mr. H. Higgius, of Me.bourne, Fla.,
writes, "My doctor told me I had Con
sumption and nothing could be done for
me. I was given up to die. The offer
of a trial bottle of Dr King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, induced lue to
try it. Results were startling. I atn
cow on the rood to recovery and owe all
to Dr. King's New Discovery. It surely
saved my life." This great cure is guar
anteed for all throat and lung diseases by
L. Taggart, Druggist. Price 50c and
81.00. Trial Bottles free.
Economy is learning to do without
those things you don't want and can't
possibly need.
Better Than Gold.
"I was troubled lor several years with
chronic indigestion and nervous debility,"
writes F. J. Green, of Lancaster. N. 11.
"No remedy helped me until I began
using Electric Bitters, which did more
good than all the medicines I ever used.
They have also kept my wife in excel
lent health for years. She says Electric
Hitters are just splendid for female
troubles; that they are a grand tonic and
invigorate ior weak run down woman
No other medicine can take its place in
our family." Try them. Only 50c.
Satisfaction guaranteed by L. Taggart.
Arc unhappy married people more
numerous than formerly, or are they
talking more about it?
Mysterious Circumstance.
One was pale and sallow and the other
fresh and rosy. Whence the difference?
She who is blushing with health uses
Dr. King's New Life Pills to maintain it.
By gently arousing the lazy organs they
compel good digestion and head off consti
pation. Try them. Only 25c, at L.
Taggart Druggist.
About half the troubles of which we
all make plaint never hit us at all but
went skimming by.
When You Have a Cold.
The first action when you have.i cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free tue of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
Remedy liquefies the tough mucus and
causes its expulsion from the air cells of
the lungs, produces a free expectoration,
and opens the secretions. A complete
cure soon follows. This remedy will
cure a severe cold in less time than any
other treatment and it leaves the system
in a natural and healthy condition. It
counteracts any tendency toward pneu
monia. For sale by L. Taggart.
Knitting is prelty work. It shows
off white fingures to advantage and
handsome rings, it is also useful.
Another Case of .Rheumatism Cured by
Chamberlain's Fain Balm.
The efficacy of Chamberlain's Pain
Halm in the relief of rheumatism is being
demonstrated daily. Parker Tiiplett, of
Grigsby, Va, says that Chamberlain's
Pain Halm gave him permanent relief
from rheumatism in the back when every
thing else failed, and he would not be
without it. For sale by L. Taggart.
Once I thought it wise to believe
everything; now 1 am wise enough to
doubt it all and demand proof.
Discovery Concerning Rheumatism.
It is now known positively that rheu
matism is caused by uric acid in the
blood. The only possibly way to get this
poison out of the blood is to treat the
kidneys, so when they are diseased or not
acting properly, the uric acid passes from
the kidneys into the blood. Thompson's
Barosma or Kidney Cure acts quickly,
taking up the uric acid, curing the kid
neys and restoring them in their normal
functions. Thompson's Barosma is
pleasant to take. For sale by R. C.
Dodson.
The io-called "spiritual man" is often
dizzy from bad digestion, and you'll fiDd
more gas than soul in him.
Quick Helief.
The soreness begins togo and the pain
to stop from the moment you take the
first dose of Thompson's Barosma or
Kidney Cnre. No opiate of any form
used in its manufacture. Thompson's
Barosma is absolutely harmless an I i
guarantee to cure all diseases of the kid- '
neys, liver and bladder also palpitation of <
the heart, nervous debility and female
weakness. Druggist, $1 per bottle. Six
for $5. For sale by H. C. Dodson.
