a Remarkable story.

Jackson Tenn Tribune and Sun: "Col-
onel D. d. King says that, in 1873, durip &
the yellow-fever epidemic in Memphis, there
were three men who gave it as their per, onal
experience that they had escaped yellow
fever by the use of Robertson county whisky.
They belonged to a popular club in the city,
and when the epidemic of 1873 broke out
they impaired this information to their asso-
GATES. The result was that a number Of
them agreed to remain and rely on Robertson
county whisky as preventive. All who en-
tered into the agreement passed through
safely except one, and the colonel says that
his death was accounted for from the fact
that be went out and got drunk on Bourbon
The colonel says that Woodward & Moore,
of Nashville, make the purest and best, and
he presumes that it was their celebrated
Silver Spring whisky which saved the Mem
phis club from humiliation by the epidemic
We consulted Colonel VIM. Moore, of the
firm, about it and he thinks Ham Is
correct"

Another Valuable Hint.

Few, if any, proprietary medicines In
America have conferred so great boon on
society as DIR. C. M'Lane's celebrated liver
pills-hence limitations are being submitted
for extra profit by many druggists. See that
the doctors name is spelled LANE, and the d.
rections wrapped inside are printed on water
marked paper, while the pills are of dark
ish hue-otherwise you will be duped with
