For several years the owners of the bonds issued by Sullivan Township in Laurons county and the various town ships in Greenwood, Edgefield and Greenville for the purpose of aiding in tho building of the Carolina, Kooxville & Western railroad, have been trying through all the Courts to force tbe pay ment of tho bonds. Appeal has fol lowed appeal and everybody is more or Jess familiar with the various turns in <lio litigation. Tho corporate oxistence of the several townships having been abolished by a constitutional amendment, suit was then instituted to recover judgment against the counties named on account of these bonds. Judge Brawley of tho United States Circuit Court has just filed his opinion in tbe case of Folsom against Greenwood county in which he Hiistained the demurrer and dismissed tbo complaint. Ferguson & Feathorstone who have represented Sullivan township and the county from tho first, have just cause to feel proud of the latest turn in the case. Messrs. Knight & Babb. attorneys for tho county wero associated with them in making their recent argu ments. WHY THEY PUSH IT. The Laurens Drag Co. Recommends and Pushes Ml-o-na, the Dys pepsia Remedy. "It is a pleasure to sell a medicine when our customers come in aftorwauls and tell us how much good it has done them," said The Laurens Drug Co., the popular druggist, to a Advertiser man, "and that is why we like to sell and recommend Mi-o-na, tho dyspepsia "We have so much faith in this arti cle that they are going to guarantee if. In the foturj, and will return the money to any purchaser of Mi-ona whom it does not cure. They may soern rash but our oustomers have said so many good words in its favor that we do not expect to have many packages returned. "Any one who has dyspepsia, whose food does nol digest well, who has to r.ake thought as to what he can eat. and when, can leave 60 coot) deposit at our atoro and take homo a box of Mi-o na and if tho remedy does not'regulate his digestion and euro his dyspepsia, he can withdraw hl? money on return ing the ompty box, This show* the great faith in the merit of Ml-o-na. It is really a most unusual medlolne and the rapid in crease in sales since the Laurens Drug Co. introduced it in Laurens shows that it does all that it claims to do cures dyspepsia, regulates digestion and enables those who use it to eat just what they want and when they want with no foar of trouble. THREE CHILDREN 8AVED. In the early summer of last year an emergency arose to which Mr. R. Monroe of Marion. S. n . was equal. He writes : "Dr. King's D?rrhoea and Dysentery Cordial is the best medicine for bowel trouble I ever saw. I saved the lives of three children In my neighborhood ii the last few days, af ter the doctor had given them up to die."

Organs are taken out and soraped and polished and put back, or they may bo removed entirely; bono* are spliced: pipes take the place of disensed sections of voins; antiseptic dressings aro applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like inju ries before inflammation sets in, which causes them to heul without matura tion and in one third the tlmo required by the old treatment.
