Nervous exhaustion invites disease.
This statement is the positive truth.
/ When everything becomes a burden
and you cannot walk a few blocks with
out excessive fatigue, and you break
out into perspiration easily, and your
face flushes, and you grow excited and
shaky at the least provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in any
thing, ^ ou are in danger; your nerves
have given out; you need building up
at once ! To build up woman’s nerv

change of life we know of no better
medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham’s

“ I have used Lydia E. I’inkham's Vegetable
Compound for years in my family and it
never disappoints ; so whenT felt that I was
iwaring'the changeof life I commenced treat

and it did me a great deal of good. It
stopped my dizzy spells, pains in my back
and the headaches with which I had suffered
for months before taking the Compound. I
feel that if it had not been for this great med

Good Business.
(Newberry Observer.)
The Gaffney Ledger styows that j
Gaffney and Cherokee county have
gained in many ways by voting out
the dispensary. There is one fast
that some regard a drawback—that is
the increase of taxation necessary to
make up the deficiency that arises
from cutting off the liquor revenue.
But that should be placed on the side
of the advantages; for there will be
a great deal more money in the coun
ty to pay the taxes with. What has
been going out for dispensary liquor
will remain fair betier uses in the
county.
The dispensary system is not only
bad morally, but is poor business.
How much of the immense sum sent
out of the county for dispensary |
liquor ever comes back again? i
Nothing—it Is all gone for ever—gone
for worse than nothing. The hundred
thousand dollars that a county sends
to Columbia to pay for liquor to de
bauch its citizens with had better be
thrown into the sea. Gaffney and
Cherokee are now in a position to
save this sum and to keep it among
their people.
It is good business, as well as good
morals, to vote the dispensary out.
