A REAL CURE FOR

It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex- |
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine,
Iron, etc , stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rj dale's Tonic has a spec’fic effect
upon the intestines and bo* -els freeing i
them from all disease breedir mi-

“Gen John B. Gordon has again
been with us, aud his second visit,
like the first, will long remain fresh
in the minds of those who heard him
Gen. Gordon was in Claremont one
year ago the 25 h of last month. He
came as a regular iu the course, and
tnis season us an extra. On the oc
casion of his first visit he carried his
hearers with Dim by bis eloquence
and personal magnetism, and in
speaking of the lecture afterward, we
pronounced it a “benediction.”
Tliis second visit was even mure
successful than tbe first.
His great soul was in his subject,
and as he touened the pathetic iuci-
is a sure transition for your linens ami dents he moved bis audience to tears,
, and then dwelt upon some ludicrous

"A brilliant audience greeted Gen.
John B Gordon last night at Library
Hall to bear his new lecture, 'The
First Days of the Confederacy.’ This,
his latest effort, will prove a fitting
companion in every respect for bis
other now famous lecture, ‘The Last
Days of the Confederacy.’ The
speaker’s stirring oratory and bis
vivid words carried tbe old veterans
back to tbe years when they fought
and bled for what they believed to be
right, and also opened tbe eyes of the
younger generation present to much
about that awful conflict which bad
never before been brought home to
their realization. Tbe lecture was at
once filled with the sentiment of de
votiou and reverence for the Booth,
its lost cause, and its heroic armies,
and also rang and resounded with the
spirit of national patriotism Gen
Gordon, grim, scarred Confederate
leader that he was, believes with his
whole heart in a reunited country.
He beep* aka it in every thought of
his masterly lecture. — Louisville
