III Ml \ * J 1 mi YOUR I I POCIORI i I Ask your physician this ques- J I tion, "What is the one great j I remedy for consumption?" J j He will answer, "Cod-liver * oil." Nine out of ten will j answer the same way. Yet when persons have it consumption they loathe all 1 fatty foods, yet fat is neces,. sary for their recovery and they cannot take plain cod-1 liver oil. The plain oil dis- ; turbs the stomach and takes i i away the appetite. The dis- i j; agreeable fishy odor and ! taste make it almost unen- j t durable. What is to be done ? 1 This question was ans- I wered when we first made I SCOTT'S ; EMULSION of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo phosphite^. .Although that ; i was nearly twenty-five years ago, yet it stands alone to; day the one great remedy $ I for all affections of the throat | j and lungs. j I The bad taste and odor have been I | taken away, the oil itself has been | I partly digested, and the most sen- | | sitive stomach objects to it rarely, t | Not one in ten can take and digest | | the plain oil.

The expan-; r j sion sentiment is also strong in I other southern States, where oa j account of the low price of cotton which has prevailed 'or so many years* the people are seeking broader markets for their products. A South Carolinian in the city the other day stated that , in his opinion Senator McLaurin'* | position on the subject of the retention of the Philippine islands would be endorsed by the people of the State when they have an (i opportunity to express their judgment on the subject.

Ilero is a good story that Senator Tillman told George Fred A'illiams. The Democratic leader of Massachusetts (-poke in melancholy resignation about his fate; which hail, he said, compelled him to relinquish his respectability in the minds of peo pie who form their opinions from certain newspaper reports.
