MALARIA

Malaria is an almost in
describable malady which
not even the most talented
physicians are able to faith
ON. Its cause is most fire.
quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. 1t
often affects the sufererwith
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow of his former self.
Malaria once having laid its
hold upon the human frame, the
door of the system is thrown open
to nervous diseases. The body
weak and enfeebled absorbsano
nourishment, but subsisting upon
itself, the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions;
the liver becomes torpid, and other
organs failing to do their routine
work, speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt
TO ensue.
In addition to being a certain cure
for malaria and chills and fever,
Browns IRON BITTERS is highly
recommended for all diseases requir-
ing a certain and efficient tonic; es-
peciallyindigestion, dyspepsia, inter-
mittent fevers, want of appetite, loss

wheat per acre grown by its aid, have been
rs much rs ~ per cent. in excess Of the
grain grown by competing fertilizers and
in all cases that have come under our ObSer-
vation, where tests have been carefully and
accurately made with other fertilizers, the
extra yield of wheat produced by this orer

ADVERTISING.
IL Pays When 1T is Done in "a
PrOperManner, But Any Sum
of Money Can be Thrown
Away and NO Return
Received.

Advertising has become a science,
and the person who can attract the
attention Of the public and interest the
readers in what he may have to dis
pose OF has talent not to be despised.
But business men are forced to death
with every conceivable scheme for
advertising. The number of snide
schemes by which they are plucked of
money for which they see no return is
astonishing. Young, middle aged and
elderly men are every day after bust
ness men to get their cards for hotel
register that even commercial tray
elers do not read, or to give their card,
costing only FIVE or ten dollars, for
some gorgeous frame 10 be hung in the
postoffice or placed in hotel, or for a
programme that nobody reads, or a,
newspaper" to be sent to everybody
free, like poster, and only worth as
much, or to the genius who gets up
card with bit of sandpaper on it to be
posted in saloons or on cigar counters,
a catch penny cards with dozen firms
represented. The demand upon bust
ness men is constant to patronize
these schemes and hundreds of dollars
are paid annually without the reason
able hope being INDUCED in by the
men who pay the bills that these cards
and signs ever do their business any
real good.
The advertisers of the United
States, men and firms who have ex
pended tens of thousands of dollars in
experimentingas to the best and cheap
est method of reaching the eye and ear
of the public, have always settled
down to the conclusion that this
method is through regular newspapers.
Advertising pays, but giving money
away TO every applicant who has a
cheap catch penny scheme does not
pay. A newspaper goes to regular
reading constituency, and every paper
averages about eight readers to every
subscriber, and the highest rate any
publisher will ask will be cheaper to
the advertiser than the snide schemes
alluded to above. Papers that are
given away have no more character or
value than hand bill. The place to
make business known business ad-
vantages isthrough the columns of
generally circulated and regularly
published newspaper.

Not a civil Rights Case.
Cincinnati COmTerelal, %.


The suit brought in the United
States District Court by William T.
Gray, colored, minister Of Lexington
KY, against the Cincinnati Railroad
Company, to recover damages for the
refusal to allow his wife, who had a
first class passenger ticket, to ride in
the ladies' car, the brakeman insist
ing she should 90 forward aud take
her seat in the smoking car,
resulted in a verdict for plain
tiff in the sum Of $1,000.
The question did not turn upon the
rights acquired under the Civil Rights
Bill. The Court held it to be ques-
ton Of breach Of contract. If the com
pany sold a frst-clsss ticket to the
plaintiff. it was bound in equity to
furnish FIRST class transportation. slch
as it would have furnished to any
white woman ailing to do this, it made
itself liable to damages for breach Of
contract.
We have no sympathy with the
company IN THIS matter. a road
built with Cincinnati capital and
supposed to be managed in liberal
spirit, belittles itself by catering to
nasty prejudice, and deservedly pays
for its toadyism. Mrs. Gray is a
respectable, intelligent woman. lady
in appearance, and vastly better
than hundreds Of men and women
whom the Southern is only too glad to
serve to the best Of its ability. If it
shall profit by this experience, there
will be no further trouble when re.
spectacle people, holding FIRST class
tickets, shall apply for transportation,
no matter what their race, color OF
previous condition.
