THIS remedy has won for itself such notorety
from its of every variety of pulmonary disease,
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and numerous the of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous afiec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the mider varieties
of COLDS CoUGHs, HoARsENEss, &C.. and for
CHILDREN it is the peasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
AS it has long been in constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than the
people its quality is kept up to the best that it
has been, and that the genuine article is sold by
j. S. Farrand, Detroit; Henry Griffin and G. B
Albee, Grand Haven; II D.; Post, Holland; Steel
4 Hedges, Lamont; and by all dealers in medi-
cines everywhere.

Severe storm and Cold at the
SOU1h

Part of mail from South of Washing
ton-the first for ten days-has been re-
ceired here No papers from beyond Vir-
ginia have arrived. But private letter
dated Charleston, Jan. 23d, tells us the
weather is unusually severe for that climate.
1t also eneloses the following extracts from
Southern papers:
AUGUSTA, Jan. pa storm of sleet
occurred yesterday, which was followed by
severe cold. The Savannah river is filled
with masses of floating ice.
PETERSBURG, Va, Jan. 23.-No mails
or communications have been received since
Sunday. The telegraphic lines are broken
down. Terrific storms of snow and sleet
have prevailed, and the cold is intense
Snow began to fall last night, and still con-
tinues.
THE WEATHER.-Yesterday gave us an
unpleasant continuation of the severe
weather which begun on Sunday last. The
wind throughout the day was exceedingly
sharp, and Notwithstanding the heat of the
sun, outdoor exercise was not at all agree
able. The thermometer in the morning
indicated a temperature of about "a de-
gress, and during the day the mercury hard
ly rose avoye "a degrees. Charleston
News, Jan. 22d.
SEVERE SLEET ON TUESDAY NIGHT.-
On Tuesday night, about II o'clock, the
temperature of the weather. changed rather
suddenly, and severe sleet followed, which
continued to fall for several hours. On
Wednesday morning the sreets were in
such condition that walking in a hurry
was very uncertain and dangerous per-
formance. Many of our citizens were more
or less injured by falls, but none seriously,
so far as we could ascertain. The mercury
on Wednesday was thirty degrees above
zero at seven o'clock p NJ, thirty seven
degrees: The snow of last Sunday, in
many places, is still to be seen-the streets
are muddy and slippery-the weather cold,
with all the disagreeable 'tappurtenances
there unto annexed. Auq,tsta Chronicle,
THE CoLD SNAP.-It is conceded on all
hands that the present has been the coolest
January experienced in Savannah for many
years-some say that 1912 was as cold.-
The weather was more moderate yesterday,
and the indication last night promised a
milder temperature. While we read of
the suffering in northern cities from search
ty of fuel we have good reason to be thank
full that more moderate temperature is
one of the peculiar institutions of the South.
