People both old an:l young, who suffer with stomach trouble, would do well to read the following highly interesting statement given by 'Mrs. Mary Gilliam, of 53 Riverside, Ander son, on Maech 3rd. Mrs. Gilliam l5 of an advanced age. . "I suffeted from an awful case of indigestion," said Mrs. Gilliam, "and I was sj weak I could hardly walk and really I should have been in led. My feet and legs burned all the time, my whole system was weakened and run down ,and I was very pale. My appetite had left and I never became hungry. My health had been bad for several years. 'Hundreds of- dollars worth of medicines had been bought for me, but none gave me much re lief, and I steadily became worse and lost weight until I was skin and bones almost and seemed to be slowly starv ing to death. "Soon after I started taking Tan lac, iy appetite returned and my stomach was strengthened and the indigestion left me. Now I am eat ing heartily and my food is digested and nourishes me. I gained twenty five or thirty pounds after I started taking Tanlac. The home folks laugh at me now because I eat so much. I was just about big enough to make a shadow when I started Tanlac, but now I am at normal weight. "Tanlac is the finest restorer and tonic I ever used. It, soon got me strong enough to do my housework, despite my years, jand it is the only medicine I ever tbok that gave me permanent relief, and I guess it can be truly said that I had one foot in the grave when I began taking it. ranlac certainly is our stand-by, now, and both my husband and myself think the world of it, for I expect it gave me a number of years more of life." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by Dickson's Drug Store, Man ning; H. W. Nettles, Jordan; Shaw & Plowden, New Zion; Farmers' Sup ply Co., Silver; D. C. Rhame, Suin merton.-adv.

BEST1 I'RICES SINCE 1869 South Carolina Farmers Have No Reason to Complain. (From the Laurensville Herald.) The article appearing in last week's Herald, by William D). Sullivan' on the prices of cotton (luring the last half century, was interesting as well as instructive to many of us. The prices qluoted by him follow in the main the New York prices quotad in the World's Almanac for the same years. According to this table the highest price paid in New -York was in 1864, when it brought $1.90 a pound. Of course, this was about the close of the war and very little cotton was being made. During the next year, which marked the close of the war, prices ranged in New York from thirty-five pents to $1.20. In 1866 when the survivors of the Con federacy were back on their farms rind business relations with the North mad been reestablishedl, cotton broke to fifty-two cents, the highest price paidl. The year 1867 showed another Falling off during which the highest [)rlves Out Malaria, Builds Up System' rhe Old Standard general strengthening tonic, 3ROVE'S TA5T IR88 cbHl TONIC rives out tialaria~arnleh obIo ,ad buildauni ties,*. ,ow.
