"What Everybody says must be True"

The incontrovertible testimony offer
ed by those who have used DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription induced the doc
tor to sell 1t under positive guarantee.
Many ladies have rcfrained from using
1t on account of q general feeling of
prejudice against advertised medicines.
Let me ask question. Are you preju-
diced against sewing machines because
you have seen them advertised? or can
you doubt the ingenuity and skill re-
quired in their invention? Again, would
you refuse to insure your house because
the company advertised that it had paid
millions in losses, and yet had capital
of several millions? Do such advertise
ments shake your confidence, and Gre
ate prejudice? Then why refuse to cred
ii the testimony ofthosc who have found
tine Favorite Prescription to be all that
is claimed for it in overcoming those
ailments peculiar 10 your sex? Why
submit to the use of harsh, and perhaps
caustic treatment, thus aggravating
your malady, when relief is guaranteed,
and positive, perfect, and permanent
cure has been effected in thousands of
cases!

Dear Shallow mr. to extend my

benefit my wife has received from the
use of your Favoritc Prescription. She

THE
NATIONAL DISRAsB.
Is IT CURABLE2

Those who have suffered from the various and
complicated forms of disease assumed by Catarrh,
and have tried many physicians and remedies
without relief or cure, await the answer TO this
question with considerable anxiety. And well
they may; for no disease that can be mentioned IL
so universally prevalent and SO destructive to
health as Cntarrh. Bronchitis, Asthma, Coughs
lungs follow, in many cases, a case Of simple but
neglected Catarrh, Other sympathetic affections,
such as deafness, impaired eye.sight and loss Of
sense OF smell, may be referred to as minor but
nevertheless serious results of neglected Catarrh
bad enough in themselves, but as nothing com.
pared with the dangerous affections of tho throat
and lungs likely TO follow.

Cleveland Leader, llth,l
Mr.. Henry Waiterson, the we'll

a Leader reporter, and had no hesltan-
cy in expressing bis views on the sub

Wattersos is q gentleman with whom II
ia o pleasure to talk, and his statements

shown a preference for the Republican

ever, left them no other choice. Fo
two or three years they noundered il

The Shreveport Merchants 20
Planters.

The following clipping from the
Shreveport Times, sufficiently explains
itself. We would say, however. thatlt
is yet too early in tho season for such
complaints to be urged against our cot
tons, though the later receipts show q
very material change from what they
were q few weeks ago. The majority
Of cottons received here are now rum
ming from good ordinary to low mid.
ding, with q small sprinkling Of the
better grades:
In view OF the fact that the bulk Of cot.
ton receipts at this point are more or less
sandy, and TO considerable extent more
or less mixed, the undersigned, as Q mat.
ter Of vital Importance 70 themselves, and
OF equal interest to cotton producers,
would urge these latter to the exercise Of
greater care In cleansing the cotton from
sand and dust. The excessively poor con-
dltlon OF cotton as brought 20 this market
at present, works iIjudlci0usly 10 our
selves, curtailing our orders, reducing tho
price that we would otherwise be enabled
to pay, and we do not hesitate 70 say that
the cotton market at this point would, IL
free from sand and dust, bring 10 the pro-
ducer from five TO ten dollars per bale
more than 1t actually does at present, and
would change tho deep prejudice now ex-
isting against Shreveport cotton In the
Eastern markets, on account Of sand, and
would make 1t equal 70 the best produced
in the South, and consequently Of more
profit ID the producers.
