I DON’T DESPAIR! An American Scientist’s Great Work. Consumption, Pneumonia, La Grippe, Asthma, Catarrh, Bronchitis and All Lung and Bronchial Troubles Can be Positively and Permanently Cured. Dr. Slocum’s System of Treatment Has Revolutionized Old-Time Theories. A Free Course of Treatment for All Sufferers for the Mere Asking. SCENE IN THE SLOCUM LABORATORIES, NEW YORK CITY. The Doctor Demonstrating to Medical Men, Scientists, Statesmen and Students the Value of the New Slocum System of Treatment for the Permanent Cure of Lung Consumption, Catarrh and All Pulmonary and Wasting Diseases. Do you cough? Do your lungs pain you? Is your throat sore and inflamed? Do you spit up phlegm? Does your head ache? Is your appetite bad? Are your lungs delicate? Are you losing flesh? Are you pale and thin? Do you lack stamina? These symptoms are proof that you have in your body the seeds of the most dangerous malady that lias ever devas tated the earth—consumption. Consumption, the banc of those who have been brought up in the old-fash ioned beliefs that this disease was hered itary, that it was fatal, that none could recover who were once firmly clasped in it/relentless grip. But now known to be curable, made so by the .world-stirring discoveries of that man wdiose name lias been given to this new system of treatment. Now known to be preventable and curable by following and practising his hygienic teachings. The new system of treatment will cure you of consumption and of all diseases which can be traced back to weak lungs as a foundation, v* It is not a drug system, but a system of germ destruction and body building. Not guesswork, but science. Not a step backward, but a stride out of the old ruts. Made possible only by Pasteur's, Virchow’s, Metchnikoff's and Slocum's latest discoveries in bacteriology, hy giene and therapeutics. In plain English, a system of modern scientific disease curing. The System consists of Four Prep arations which act simultaneously and supplement each other’s curative action. You are invited to test what this sys tem will do for you, if you are sick, by writing for a free treatment to the Slo cum Laboratories, New York City. WRITE TO THE DOCTOR. Send your name and full express and postofiice address to the Slocum Labor atories, 98 Pine street, New York, and mention this paper, and the Four Free Preparations of medicine will be for warded you. The system is a positive cure for con sumption. that most insidious disease, and for il| lung troubles and disorders complicated by loss of flesh, Coughs, Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis, etc. Thin, pale, weak people become fat and hearty by its use. The test is to try it. cur AND COUNTY CONGLOMERATED, Local News from Town and Country TOO SHORT FOR A HEAD Kut None* Too Short to Mention, lienee They A.e Boiled Down For Quirk Bead ing by Busy ^Ledger 1’atroiiM Who Are DrexHed for Time.

He Loses a Leg While Board* ing a Train. THE LIMB AMPUTATED. The Accident Occurred In Charlotte Last Saturday Night While Mr. Hooker Was on His Way Home from that City Where He Hud Keen on linsiness. The friends of Mr. John P. Booker in this community were shocked Sunday when they learned of the horrible accident that had befallen him the night before. The following account of the accident is from the Charlotte Observer; “Mr. J. P. Booker, of Blacksburg. S. C., was run over by No. 35, the fast mail, Saturday night, and one leg eo badly mangled that it had to be amputated. “Mr. Booker Isa brother of Mrs. \V. C. Wilkinson, of this city. He came over from Blacksburg yesiorday morning to see his sister and to do some shopping. Saturday night he got belated up street, and when he reached the station his train had be gun to pull out. He had several bundles in his left arm. The train runs on a very fast schedule, and a minute after it starts is under pretty good headway. Mr. Booker ran with all speed to catch it, and having his bundles in his left hand, caught the railing of the platform with his right hand. He lost his hold and fell be- Lwcen the platforms. The wheels passed over his left leg, mangling it horribly. Tiiere were a number of people in the yard at the time, who witnessed the frightful scene, and who heard the wheels of each coach pass over the unfortunate man’s leg, crushing the bone to splinters. The train was stopped some feet from where the accident occurred, which was opposite the baggage room. By standers rushed to the injured man. He was conscious and told his name The railroad surgeon was summoned at once, and a cot gotten on which the sufferer was placed and taken to the baggage room. His suffering was frightful. “As soon as the doctor arrived he gave him an opiate. “Mr. Booker was taken to St. Peter’s Hospital, where the leg was ampu tated. It was taken off just below the knee. His injury is not necessa rily fatal, hut it cannot be told whether he will survive the shock or not. “As stated, Mr. Booker is u brother of Mrs. W. 0. Wilkinson. He is edi tor of the Cherokee Investigator, is twenty-two years old and is married. “While the doctor was examining Mr. Booker ut the station a strange gentleman who was in the crowd of on-lookers, fainted. He fell at full lengtli on the cement. He was not hurt hut was very much surprised when he cume to to find himself sur rounded with people. He inquired at once what was the matter. He did not know that he had fainted.” Since Mr. Booter located at Blacks burg he has had occasion to lie in Gaffney often and always honored the The Ledger with a visit. He is a courteous yonng man of good habits, intent in his work and deserves suc cess. The Ledger deeply sympa thises with him and his family in this great misfortune and rineerely trusts that he will be spared for a long and useful career in his chosen profession. C'Mnilillairiit* to Th« I,«'<lu«*r. A subscriber at Star Farm, writing to renewr his subscription to The Ledger, says, “I like your paper. It is an ideal county paper and h credit to Cherokee county.” A subscriber who lives at Union, S. C., renews his subscription to The Ledger and says, “I think it is the best paper in the State. I would not he without it for any tiling. ” Candy has been added to the army ration by order of the secretary of war. mm, A******* Beware! An expectant mother had better not take anything at all than those positively dangerous mixtures so widely advertised to relieve her discomfort and nausea- She ought to know that outside external treatment is the only way that can possibly be of any benefit. Sheought to know that Mothmr** Mondk the only remedy that will help her, and it k an external liniment. It takes her through the entire period in comparative comfort, shortens labor, and childbirth k no longer to be dreaded. More than that, it preserves her girlish shape after the ordeal, and her little one will come into the world perfect in form and health.

Dead Sirs:—“My daughter had every symptom of consumption—suppression of menses, night sweats and great ema ciation. She was so low that none of our neighbors thought she could live. In May Mr. C. R. Adams, of this place, who had taken Pe-ru-na, told me If anything would help her Pe-ru-na would. I got a bottle of it and some rock candy and began giving It to her. During the first few days she was so weak she could only take a half tea spoonful at a time, but I gave it to her as often as she could bear IL In less than a week she could walk two hundred yards and back without rest ing; she kept getting stronger, and in twelve months she seemed to be as well as she ever was in her life. I feel, and so does every one that knew about her aickness, that Pe-ru-na saved her life. My daughter's name is Mrs. L. Keene." ^ For Sale |Sf Advertisements under this head will be inserted for one cent a word each inser tion. No ad inserted for less than ten cents.
