CATARRH OF
THE PHARYNX.
Clearing: out your throat every day,
all day. That is what you have been I
doing1 for months. Possibly years. A
little mucus covers the pharynx.
If you were to go to a doctor he
would tell you that you have pharyngitis.
If you were to look into
your own throat you would find just
back of the soft palate a red, lumpy,
granular appearance of the back part
f the throat. Pharyngitis the doctors
call it.
Perhaps he would call it, follcular
pharyngitis. It causes you constant
annoyance. You are always making
slight disturbances when seated in an
audience. Can't held your throat
still. Stringy mucus bothers you.
"Worse in the morning.
A-hera! A-hem! A-hem! That Is
the way you are going nearly all day.
Sometimes In the night when you
wake up. You ought to gargle your
throat with salt water every morning.
Cold salt water. That clears
out the throat perfectly and makes it
ready for treatment.
Pcruaa i3 the treatment. Begirt
with a teaspoonful before each r: '.
and at bedtime. Try it for a v.*
You will be convinced. Of cc nr.- \
Peruna will not entirely relieve v , j

Yes, it will. It has cone

Fo!:r?lar pharyngitis. Big words.

THE CAMBRIDGE PLAYERS.
Second Lyceum Number a Fine
Attraction.
f
Such an entertainment as that
"resented Friday evening at the
I school auditorium by the"Camt)ridge
Players" sent out by the Alkahest
Lvcjum was deserving of better patronage
than the slim audience that
gre.-ted them here. True, the cold
weather, the near approach of the
holidays and the various social diversions
in town and vicinity marking
the advent of the festive season
in some measure affected the attendance
at the lyceum entertainment,
but we feel confident that had the
people of Kingstree known what a
high class entertainment was being
offered them in the "Cambridge
Players," there would Ihave been a
crowded house.
The company of four?three talpntpr?
nnH nHracHvp vnnntr lariips IpH
by Mr ? Coffer,whose versatile and
clever acting was far above the ordinary?held
the audience for two
hours delighted with their rendition
of a programme replete with pleasing
numbers,comprising music,mirth
and dramatic master-piecea It was
a style of entertainment that ap|
pealed to popular fancy and at the
same time gave mental pabulum to
those who require more than the titillation
of foaming phrase, syncopated
music and up-to-date slang.
This was the second number of
the lyceum course and the next attraction
comes in January. We hope
that the class of entertainment that
is being furnished will meet with a
more appreciative response in future
by giving the next number of the
lyceum a crowded house. One thing
is certain?we can never hope to
have good shows in Kingstree until
the people of the town manifest
their appreciation of them by a1
more liberal patronage.
Stomach Troubles Disappear.
Stomach,liver and kidney troubles,
weak nerves, lame back and female
ills disappear when Electric Bitters
are used. Thousands of women
