Captain WUlnef's Remarkable Escape Shows What to do In Time of Trouble. For many years, Captain Willnef, says the Times of G'oucester, Mass., was one of the best known sfamnn in the Gloucester Fleet. The sea and its dangers had no terror for him, but the catarrhal troubles with which ho suf fered for tlftoen years, made him dread the nights at sea. for he had to walk the cabin floor, being unable to He down and sleep on account of the con stant catarrhal dropping. Captain Wilnef went to tw:> differ ent hospitals for treatment, but could get no lasting benefit. He constantly raised yellow and grren phlegm and his trouble became to unbaara^lo ard nauseating that he was ashamed t i go out in company. When despair' of over getting relief, his wife purchased a Hyomel outfit for hi n and trying it before going to bed, be enjo^ot thi flrtt whole night's s!t ep for ten yi ars. Osptain WlPnef s ?y : "I hav.j used less than two bo tics of Hyomel and have been cured by tho remedy. My friends ask me what is responsible for my improvement, and I tell them Hyo m*i, which has glv. n m-j full and com plete reovery Captain Willnef a experience shows our readers what to do in time of ca tarrhal trouble,?u e Hyomel. This remarkable treatment kills the germs of catarrh and makes lasting and per manent cures. The Laurens Drug Co. ?eil Hyomel under their personal guar antee to refund the money if it does not give quick relief. OA.0VORZA. ?????the Ito Kiwi Vom H?ve Always Bought TWO GINNERIES BURNED FRIDAY.

A well known traveling man who visits the drug trade says he haB often beard druggists inquire of customers who ask( d for a cough medicine, whether it was wanted for a chi'd or for an adult, and if for a child they al most invariably recommended Cham berlain's Cou^h Remedy. Toe reason for this is that they know there Is no danger from it and that it always euros. There is u >c the least danger In giving it, and for c mghs, colds and croupjit is unsurpassed.

Conspicuously wonderful and popular, as having, time and sgaln, both at home and abroad, and before all the world's leading mili tary expert), conclusively proved themselves far and away the best drilled oompany of either regular or volunteer soldiers ever known, oome the Aurora Zouaves. They are oham pion marvels in phenomenal speed and perfection of drill and manual, and while it 1? high praise, it mav be truth fully said of them that they notably surpass even their famous predeces sors, the Ellaworth Zouaves of Chi cago, whose triumphal tour in the deepening shadows of the greatest war of wars is still remembered by many veterans of both the Blue and Gray, who gained from them their first instruction in the funda mental essentials by which battles are won. Ard In this connection, a pass ing tribute to the brave, brilliant and lamented Col. Elmer E. Ellsworth Is due, In recalling the faot that at the very outset of a career wbloh promised to crown him with unfadiog laurels, he was shot dead by the landlord of a hotel in Alexandria, Va., for hau'lng down tho Confederate flag flying de fiantly from the flagpole on its roof. Those who have seen the Aurora Zouaves, of which he was the tactical progenitor, can Imagine how enthu siastically he would have praised and applauded them, and the aptness of simile employed by Tho New York American and Journal, in rem?rking, "The Aurora Zouaves are a huge red legged centipede, whose celerity and precision have established the military world."
