Whenever a reform movement gets
well under way and Begins to grow popa-
lar, an over-zealous friend is more to be
dreaded than an out-and-out opponent.
One Kind of jthe oyer yEealolss friend
wants to put himself in 8 conspicuous
position and march along at the head of
the column with the air of leader, and
thus gain to himself credit that does not
belong to'him. It grati6es his vanity.
Another friend is perfectly sincere in
thinking the column is not moving fast
enough, and wants to double-quick to
meet the enemy. He is the impatient
and impetuous kind, with more zeal than
Judgment. Both these friends should be
Suppressed, and made to keep in the back
ground. 1--WE make these reflections
because some of the temperance people
in the State are urging .a.Pgehibitlol,
campaign, and ne think it untimely and
unwise. :. When the Legislature provided
for local option it went so far as it was
prudent to go, even judging from the
prohibitionists' standpoint. That amount
ed to total prohibition outside the incor-
porated cities and towns and under the
law many towns in the State have already
secured prohibition sbyea popular vote.
+Itseems!to US fhsfIefy &tisfactory pro-
gress has been made, and is making

Tho Bottom Sliding Down.

The Mississippi is said to be subject to
@ new danger. It's bottom is said to be
moving toward the Gulf of Mexico. OF
course not the bottom of the entire
length, but the coze and mud for many
hundreds 0f miles is sliding down, as it
were, aud, making the river shallower at
its outlets. Should this continue, and
man be unable TO control it, the river
would in time be confined, as banks
would be formed at its mouth. This
evonld, make a great lake out Of portions
or Louisiana and Texas: OF course new
outlets would be. formed, but n.the mean
time vast changes would: occur IN. the
Mississippi valley. Great cities would be
submerged. Lakes larger than Superior
or Ontario would cover regions now occu.
pied by farms and towns. Stillthis need
not concern the present generation. 1t
will take many hundreds, if not thou
sands of years, to, effect these alterations,
and then, perhaps, mechanical science
and human resources may be 80 developed
as to enable man to overcome, or at least
modify, the slow operations of nature

A FEW WORDS FROM
CAPT. R. W. BONNER,
A WELL-kNOWN
CITIZEN OF MACON, GA.

In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my son,
who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga. camo
over to see me with the sad intelligence that his
wife was in the last stages of consumption and
that her physician had pronounced her case hope
less. went Immediately over, and felt that
nothing could be done. She was coughing and
splitting inccssantly. and at times would discharge
from her lungs large quantity of pus or matter
could not sleep or retain anything on her stOml-
ach and was in fact, in the last stages Of the dis
ease. This was about the time you began 10 ad-
vertise Brewers Lung Restorer, and rs my son
expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or
three bottles were procured and with scarcely
vcstige of hope we commenced giving it to her in
small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un-
til the prescribed dose was reached. She began to
improve after a few doses and continued to do so
daily. until she was finally restored to life and
ever before. She is subject TO colds, but 4 few
swallows of Brewers Lung Restorer (Which she is
never without) relieves her Immediately. l con-
slider her restoration to perfect health miracle,
for which she is indebted TO Brewers Lung Re-
storer. My son Is almost mononlaniac on the
subject Of Brewers Lung Rcstorer and never lets
an opportunity pass where he thinks such ] medi-
cine would be required, that he does not speak Of
it in most glowing terms. Not long stree North
ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this
cure and was induced by my son to give 1t to his
invalid wife, and she was cured as If by magic"
Brewers Lung Restorer contains no opiates.

CANCER FOk IL I EASS.
Spartanburg, S. c., March IA, 1884.
I have for IA years been a sufferer from a
running sore on my face that everybody
called Cancer. I have used over $500
worth of medicine and found no relief.
About four months ago bought one bottle
| of Swift's Specific from DR.. II. E. Heinitsh,
and since have bought five others, have
taken it, and they have cured me sound
and well My face is as free from a sore as
anybody's, and my health is perfectly re-
stored. l feel like forty years had been
| lifted off my head. Yours thankfully,
ELIZA TINSLEY.
Mr.. B. T. Burns, Hope, Ark. says, un-
| der date of Jan. %, 1854: II have taken
| five bottles of Swift's Specific for sore on
my temple-said to be cancer. I have
been wonderfully benefited and will soon
be we'll man."
Mr.. w. II. Robson. Davisboro, Ca,
writes, under date Jan. 3, 1854: ~ am get
ting on finely, the ulcer is gradually healing.
1 feel that Swift's Specific will cure the hor-
rible cancer which has been feeding on me
for over 20 years"
Mr.. w. II. Gilbert, Albany, Ca, says:
| "a gentleman named Moore near this city
had an eating cancer on his face, which had
eaten away his nose and his under lip, and
had extended up until it had nearly reach
! ed his eye. The cancer was eating his gums
and had rendered his teeth so loose that he
thought they might at any time drop out.
He has been taking Switt's Specific about
three months, and its effect has been won
derful. 1t has driven the poison from his
system, the cancer has healed greatly, his
teeth have become strong again, and he
! thinks he has been rescued from an awful
death. He is the most enthusiastic man I
sver saw"
