Very Truly, There is not a more familiar figure ; on the streets of Atlanta than the man ■ whose picture is here shown. Every- i body knows him by sight ami it will be - remembered that years ago he began j | to wear on his upper lip, just under his nose, a small piece of court plas- ■ ter, not larger than a silver half dime; | this plaster he has worn constantly, though it gradually increased in size, ; as everybody knows, until it was as large as a silver dollar. This man is M. M. Nicholson, who resides at the corner of Anderson and Curran Sts. It was thirty years ago, that he first noticed a tiny scale, like a piece of wheat bran, on his lip. He at first thought it only a fever blister, but it was not long before his cheeks became diseased and painful to the touch, and he soon realized that he had fallen a victim to that most dreadful disease— Cancer. It rapidly increased in size and severity, and remembering that his father had cancer when he died, and that his uncle also lost his life by this terrible disease, which destroyed his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr. Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed, and realized that his condition was more than serious. Marriage of a Popular Young Couple. .1. Claud Jefferies was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Maggie Fort, of Chester on last Thursday evening. Tlw* young couple are quite popular and the well-wishes of a large circle of friends attend them.

Miss Fort is a daughter <>f Dr. M. A. Fort, of this city, but was a resident of Chester. The newly wedded couple took a trip to the Atlanta Exposition and then visited relatives in this city, ar riving here Tuesday afternoon.

NOT LIKE OTHERS There is a difference between medi cines and medicines. . • Those of to-day. as a rule, differ from those of the past in many respects. Fully as great is the difference be tween Dr. King's ROYAL GERMETUER and the ordinary medicines of today. It is unlike them in THESE FIVE THINGS: 1. It does not taste like a medi cine. It is as pleasant to take. as lemonade and makes a most refreshing drink. 2. It never nauseates the most delicate stomach. 3. It does not swap off one dis ease for anot her. It docs not set up one form of disease in order to relieve another as is so often the case. 4. It contains no alcohol or opium in any form and is always harmless even when given to a babe one day old. 5. It docs not patch simply, it cures. It reaches as nothing else docs to the hidden sources of disease in the blood and removes the cause. It does this with an case and power that have never been equaled. For all troubles of the Blood, Stomach. Bowels. Kidnevs and Nerves, and for all forms of MAUlilAL COISOX it stands pre-eminent— without a rival or a peer. fW Sold by druggists, new raclsago, large bot tle, 10B Duces, One Dollar.

Giving up entirely his business, he went to Cincinnati and remained for j several months under treatment of a celebrated specialist. He was after wards treated in Elmira. New York, where the cancer was twice removed, but he declares that death was prefer able to such treatment It returned, howeve r, and the disease seemed to be of a most virulent type; the doctors af forded absolutely no relief, the cancer spreading all the time, eating out en tirely the partition in the nose, as well as the upper lip and gums. “Some months ago,” he says, “I be gan to use S. S. S., though I admit with little faith that it could cure me, but to my surprise, a few bottles afforded some relief. Thus encouraged, I de termined to give the medicine a thor ough trial, and it was not long before the progress of the disease seemed checked. I continued the medicine, and remarkable as it may seem, I am cured and feel like I have new life. I can talk more distinctly, for the flesh has begun to grow back around my teeth, where it has been literally eaten away. S. S.

The only way tills disease is to purify the blood. The most obstinate cases of catarrh yield to the medicinal powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla as if by magic, simply because it reaches the seat of of the disease, and by purifying and vitalizing the blood removes the cause. Not only does Hood’s .Sarsa parilla do this but it gives renewed vigor to the whole system, making it possible for good health to reign su preme.
