A SPECIFIC FOR MALARIA, RHEUMATISM, NERVOUS PROSTRATION, and all Germ Diseases. THE MOST SCIENTIFIC AND SUCCESSFUL BLOOD PURIFIER. Superior to quinine. Rev. Wm. Lucas. Rector Grace church. Ra venna, (>.. writes: "I cordially endorse Kas kine as being: Just what you claim, an excel lent substitute for quinine, with none.of Its bad effects. Mrs. Lucas had a serious form of malaria, and was confined to her bed for months. Kasklne had her up and around in a few days, and In a short time cured her." Living In the malarial districts of Maryland I became a victim of worst forms of malarial fever, i drugged myself with quinine and other remedies without avai'. I was greatly reduced when 1 heard of Kasklne. Its curative powers were a medical revelation to me. It cured me and I have not had a return of the troubles (Prof.) J. D. Hlrd,, B. A.. Asst.

One of the largest and most complete lines of BOOTS, SHOES AND RUBBERS Ever offered to the trade. Anticipating an unusually large trade this fall I bought accordingly and my store is filled to its utmost capac ity awaiting your arrival to make your pur chases for fall and winter which you should do as early as possible while the selection is large and the stock full and complete. Mens' and Boys' Kip Boots. I am happy to inform the trade that my stock of Boots is per fect in every particular and cannot help being appreciat ed for I took special care in selecting them, feeling that this line of goods above all others should be selected with the most care possible. They are here and fully up to my idea of a Boot for a man or boy who has to be out in all kinds of weather in the winter. My Common Kip Boots are all cut of the famous Walker Oakley Kips of Chioago, and every pair warranted to turn water and stay soft and pliable. I have the utmost confidence in these Boots knowing so well the grade of stock they are made from. I feel perfectly safe in recommending them to my trade. Prices on this particular line is Mens' Hand Peg, Hand sided Kip Boots, $2.25; Boys' $1,75, Youths' $1.25, Childrens' 90 cts. My cheaper boots are all cut from first class stock, prices from 50 to 75 cts, lower than other grades, LADIES', MISSES' AND CHILDRENS' SHOES. This line of goods is thoroughly complete both in fine and common shoes. Every day shoes for persons that require a good strong shoe I have them made from Oak Kip, and the very best tannery Calf every pair pefectly water proof and servicable. The Childrens' School Shoes are all made extra high cut of good Calf skin and Oil Goat both being waterproof secures for them a very important thing and that is dry feet at all times in the winter. In Ladies and Misses Fine Shoes an in spection will convince you that they are all that I claim for them Good Goods, Correct Styles and Perfect Fitting And prices on all these goods are greatly reduced since last year. Ladies and Misses Fine Shoes are fully 15 per cent, below last year's prices and Childrens' High Cut School Shoes are selling at same price the Low Cut goods sold at before. In oflering this line of goods I feel justly proud that I am able to place them on Bale at the remarkable low price at which they are to be sold. Mens' Fine Seamless Shoes, I wish particularly to call your attention to a line of fine seam less shoes in Button, Bal. or Congress, Tip or Plain Toe, I have lines that are much cheaper and some that are higher price, but this one line I consider a Special Bargain having bought G7 cases of these fine shoes at less than first cost I have placed them on sale for $1,50 a pair. They are worth coo* siderable more money and you had better secure a pair before they are all gone.
