The parents of school children will be glad to know that there is some prospect of getting school books at lower prices than those heretofore. Last week we published a list of the books adopted for this County, and the prices at which they are sold by Messrs. Busch & Co. and J. U. Rives & Co. of Aiken, and Miss Josie Thorpe of Granitevllle. Since then there seem to have been developments by which these prices may yet be fur ther reduced. The State says: “Some time ago two of the most prominent booksellers of Columbia — Messrs. T. 8. Bryan and \V. J. Duffie —went to New York to buy their fall stock. In the last few days they have returned, and from them the cheering news is obtained. While in the me tropolis they called on the largest pub lishers in the country and presented the facts to them. The result, as an nounced in a letter, is that hereafter all school books of the American Book Company, which is a combina tion of all the leading houses, will hereafter be sold at a reduction of 15 per cent, below the prices placed by law. In short, all but one or two books on the regular State list are to be sold in the future at what is known as the “introductory prices.” This will make the average reduction about fifteen per cent, lower than the limit fixed by the State board or even lower, as the board allows the charging or an additional per cent, which has not been taken advantage of.” The matter will be fully investiga ted by the dealers in school books here, and if the additional 15 per cent, reduction is really obtained from the publishers, the users will doubtless receive some of the advantage. PREVALENCE OF ILL-HEALTH. Ill-health is a very matter-of-fact affair—it is no uncertain and problemat ical condition. The necessity, at times, for medical treatment is as evident and pressing as any other necessity, and it is for this reason that we would earnestly caution our readers against the use of any but the most approved remedies. Irreparable injury is often done by placing confidence in medi cines which, although new and preten tious, are often worthless. It is the almost inevitable failure of these com pounds that throws discredit upon phar- { macy and medical science in general. Physicians are now of the opinion that lany diseases are the result of a morbid ^ndition of the blood, either through jieritance or contagion, and that the rational and effective way of cur- k these complaints is to produce a Cal change in the vital fluid. The jlence, for example, of scrofula is pst prolific cause of consumption. |ific that expels the hereditary scrofula from the blood is, p a preventive of consumption. I^r’s Sarsaparilla has repeated- itself such a specific is a fact that cannot be too fre- urgently proclaimed, lished physician has re dded his belief, founded satisfactory and reliable “ the faithful use of irilla will thoroughly la.” He further asserts: as an alterative and jd must say that I Cto be the best blood- Counded.” This tes- |peen re-affirmed by Hiould bo ®nfficient j>f scrofulous habit, ~to resort, without delay, to the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Another malady very prevalent in the United States is catarrh. This is also a blood disease, and one of the most stub born with which physicians have to con tend. We have been repeatedly as sured, however, that the persistent use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla effectually ex pels from the system this most dis gusting and dangerous complaint. In a word, the way to health is through the purification of the blood which nourishes the whole system. Try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. 0. P.
