The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J. CHENEY & Co.,Toledo,O.

Why suffer from rheumatism when one application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm will relieve the pain? The quick relief which this liniment affords makes rest and sleep possible, and that alone is worth m9ny times its cost Many who have used it hoping only for a short relief from suffering have been happily surprised to find that after awhile the relief became permanent. Mrs. Y. H. Leggett. of Yum Yum, Tennessee, U. S. A., writes: "I am a great sufferer from rheumatism, all over from head to foot, and Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only thing that will relieve the pain." For sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Now, just listen to a resolution passed at a regular meeting of the Medical society of Columbia: "3rd, That this society considers it unethical the appearance of a practitioner's name in connection with any case published as a news item. That any physician whose name so appears will be suspected of being guilty of the indecorum of advertising. That the press of the city be requested in the report of cases to withhold the name of the attending physician until his consent has been obtained." As a fitting climax to this resolution the Legislature should pass a law at its next session compelling the physisiciaD, when be loses a case, to walk in front of the hearst wearing a placard bearing the inscription: UI attended the extremely unfortunate deceased in his last illness." Reason of His Objection. There was a merry company in the smoking compartment of the Pullman sleeper on the Lowing Herd Limited the other evening. A ministerial looking citizen entered the compartment and was about to take a drink of the water from the oooler when he paused suddenly, turned to the festive company, and demanded: "What man has had the audacity to drink whiskey out of this glass ?" "I did," promptly replied a traveling man who had his share of courage and bravado. "Well, where are you concealing the bottle?" Ambition Faaea. A young man who was anxious to secure a job as a railroad brakeman wandered into one of the local yards the other day and came across a bunch of railroad men who were sitting in a shanty. He made known his ambition and one of the men, who is quite a joker, asked him a few foolish questions. The youth answered them and then asked: "How long before I'll be likely to get a job?" "Sit down and wait," said the joker. "There's ten or fifteen brakemen killed here every day and you can't tell how soon we'll need you." The young man's ambition seemed to fade, and he remembered that he had an engagement elsewhere. Arnold Borden and E. L. Edmondson, two of the leading citizens of Goldsboro, N. C., had a shooting scrape on Tuesday, in which Borden was shot in the breast and seriously wounded.

When the graiDS of maize or Indian corn are gently roasted they buret with a pop and turn inside out. They are then known as popcorn. This popping is due to the evaporation of the oil contained in the kernel. Ordinary wheat does not pop bo readily, because the outer portion of the kernel is more porous, and thus permits the escape of the oil as it evaporates. In the case of popcorn a great pressure is developed in the kernel by the confined oil, which is present in greater quantity, so that the kernel is suddenly exploded and reverssd. A Good Suggestion. Mr. C. B. Wainwright, of Lemon City, Fla., has written the manufacturers that much better results are obtained from the use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in cases of pains in the stomach, colic and cholera morbus by taking it in water as hot as can be drank. That when taken in this way the effect is double in rapidity. 4'It seems to get at the right spot instantly," he says. For 8 ale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. The Judge's Course. The man up for larceny had admitted his guilt when apprehended, but at the trial his youthful counsel defended him with great obstinacy and unnecessary brilliancy. "Gentlemen," said the judge, regarding the jury with a benevolent smile, "the prisoner says he is guilty. His counsel says he is not You must decide between them.'" Then after an effective pause, the judge added: "There is one thing to remember, gentlemen, the prisoner was there and his counsel wasn't/' How to Ward Off Old Age. The most successful way of warding off the approach of old age is to maintain a vigorous digestion. This can be done by eating only food suited to your age and occupation, and when any disorder of the stomach appears take a dose of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets to correct it. If you have a weak stomach or are troubled with indigestion, you will find these Tablets to be just what you need. For sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co.
