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.

There was a big crowd of busy
people in the city Saturday. Men
could be seen from every section of
the county, who had come in on all
kinds of conveyances. The people
seeim d he after large installments of
fertilizers, and they got them.
All were in good spirts. They had
been plowing all week, which had
opened new prospects on the farms
• nd given an impetus to all farm
work, which seemed to be exilerat

Monday morning opened up fair
and a new rush was made. The
whole county got on a move again.

MR. ROOKER’S TER-
RIRLE MISFORTUNE.
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.

A subscriber at Star Farm, writing
to renewr his subscription to The

A subscriber who lives at Union,

Ledger and says, “I think it is the
best paper in the State. I would not

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."
