An OnportnnitY.

We have special reason for wishing to
reduce our stock. We have rented our
present store to Messrs. j. Rosenheim IL
Co, and 1T will be necessary for us to va
cate as soon as possible, so that needed
repairs may be made. Our new building
on corner Broughton and Bull streets is
rapidly going towards completion. 1t is
better to sell our stock of goods, even with
out one cent of profit, than to carry them
over to our new building. Spring trade
is almost over, but Judging from the i'm
mense crowds which continually pack our
st0r Zone would hardly think so. On last
Saturday the crowd was SO great that we
were compelled to close our doors. Such
state of affairs, we thlnK, never before
existed in this city. There is areasOn for
all this. People have actually awakened
to the fact that A. X. Altmayer q Co. are
selling out, literally giving away goods
some OF them below the cost OF produc-
ton. If you miss the opportunity which
the house of A. R.sAltmayer d Co. are
now Offering to purchase goods at ridi-
cUlOus price, you will have no one but
yourself to thank for the needed expense
you will be put to when you do want them.
Don't put off day, but come to US at
once, as whole lines OF goods are being
closed daily. Thousands of pairs OF Shoes
to be sold in few weeks, at prices which
vOuld paralyZe a shoemaker, utterly ruin
a manufacturer, and make the heart of
an ordinary retail shoe man sick within.
The beauty OF our shoes is that they en-
brace not only an immense number Of
shoes, but an immense and well selected
assortment as well. 1t makes no differ
ence what kind of shoe you wanna
fine French Kid, Button, or q twenty-five
cent Baby Shoe, a Lady's Louis XIV. heel
slipper, or an Opera Slipper for less than
fifty cents, you will find them, and the
whole range of shoes besides. Prices in
cur Lace department are always low,
Every lady in Savannah knows that. But
lust now they are at a TidiculOusly low
figure, and even our oldest customers will
be astonished at the reduction we have
| made. Our Hosiery department is cram
med full of bargains Just now. There are
special lines OF goods for Ladies, Misses
and Children and for Gentlemen. They
were selected especially for this season,
and all marked at less than cost Of impor-
tatiOn. Here are some fine Ribbons, and
before we begin we want to say that they
are really fine goods. The all-Silk is
genuine all-silk, abd the Sash Ribbons are
of the finest quality. We say this because
the prices are so low, that it seems impos-
sble to be all silk A few weeks ago we
wouldn't have believed it ourselves. Who
Will match these matchless values in En-
brOideries? Who can show assortments
10 cOmp0ref There is hardly an article
named of which we cannot show many
different styles-mOre than any three re-
tail stores combined. What is il you
want? We have it. Embr0ideries on
front centre counter. Take your choice.
Call early in the day and avoid the rush
later in the day.

saIs as a Destroyer Of The Teeth.

At d recent meeting Of the New York
Chronological society, DR.. 2. Parmly
Brown said
I will venture the assertion that the
excessive use Of common salt is one Of
the main factors in the destruction Of
human teeth to-day. am now engaged
in collecting some statistics on this
point, from which ] hope in time to
demonstrate, what seems to me to be
the fact, that common salt excessively
used is a great solvent Of the human
teeth. If it will injure the human reeth
through the chemistry Of our systems in
some way or other that will not try to
explain tonight, why might il not also
have the effect Of preventing good de-
yelopment Of the teeth when taken into
the system il excessa I have lately
procured some statistics from the Sand
wich Islands, from gentleman who
has been there. covering period Of over
forty years, that are very suggestive and
interesting Within that period the
teeth Of the Sandwich Islanders have de-
cayed rapidly, and since they have be-
gun to decay II has been noticed that the
natives are ii the habit Of biting OIL
great chunks of salt and eating il with
their food. According TO bill accounts
fhe teeth of the Sandwich Islanders were
