Backed up by over a third of a century >f remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no o:her remedy for the diseases ind weaknesses peculiar to women ever Lttained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel ully warranted in offering to pay $500 in egal money of the United States, for any vase of Lencorrhea. Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they tan not cure. All they ask is a fair ancl -easonable trial of their means of cure. Their financial responsibility is well cnown to every newspaper publisher and Iruggist in the United States, with most )f whom they have done business for over l third of a century. From this fact it will eadily be seen how utterly foolish it would )e for them to make the above unpreceiented and remarkable offer if they were lot basing their offer on curative means laving an unparalleled record. No other nedicine than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre .cription could po-kubly "win out, ' as the laying goes, on such a proposition. But hey know whereof they speak. They have he most remarkable record of cures made >y this world-famed remedy ever placed to he credit of any preparation especially lesigned for the cure of woman's peculiar lilments. This wonderful remedy, thereore, stands absolutely alone as the only me possessed of such remarkable curative >roperties as would warrant its makers in mblishingf such a marvelous offer as is .bove made in the utmost good faith. "I want to tell you of the great improvement n iny health since taking your * Favorite Precription.' " says Mrs. H. S. Jones, of Forest, T C. <*When I began its use I was a physical /reck and had dest>aired of ever having any lealth again. Could not sit up all day. I noted great improvement before the first bottle /as used. Was suffering with almost every pain hat a woman is subject to; had inflammation f ovaries, painful and suppressed periods, and ther symptoms of female disease. After taking ix bottles of 'Favorite Prescription.' I felt like new*person. Can ride horseback and take all ;inds of exercise and not feel tired." If you are led to the purchase of "Favorte Prescription " because of its remarkable ures, do not accept a substitute which has ioue of these cures to its credit.

Constant motion jars the kidneys which are kept in place in the body by delicate attachments. This is the reason that travelers, train men, street car men, teamsters and all who drive very much, suffer from kidney disease in some form. Foley?s Kidoey Cure strengthens the kidneys and cures all forms of kidney and bladder disease. George E. Hausau, locomotive engineer, Lims, 0., writes, "Cmstaut vibration of the engine caused me a great deal of trouble with my kidneys, and I got no relief until I used Foley's Kidney Cure.''

Too Good a Bisk. In almost every neighborhood someone has died from an attack of colic or eho'ert* morbus, often before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. A reliable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people end relieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine in us. It can always be depended upon.

The suivey for the Augusta *lectric line is steadily progressing and the surveyors have reached a point about thirty miles from the city toward AikeD. Mr. Guignard says they have a splendid route and is a* nearly straight as possible. The road when built will cross the Congaree over the Seaboard bridge, and this gives further Strength to the idea that the Seaboard is backing the line and will use the track to secure an entrance into Augusta.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor tana cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent \] that it is not uncommon 1/ for a child to be born P afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urin . . ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fiftycent ana one dollar sizes.
