Old Dan Rice, the famous show
man, told a Cincinnati reporter a
pretty story the other day about how,
in looking over some of his fathers
old papers, lie discovered that he was
probably the rightful heir TO vast
estate in Texas and Mexico, his faith.
er having been the owner of 100000
acres of land. Dan says he went to
Texas and found the title perfect, and
now he has only to prove that he is
the son of his father, whose name
was McLaren. The showman's full
name is Daniel Rice McLaren, but he
only used part of it for professional
purposes. He says lie will soon be
able to clear that matter up and that
men of means are furnishing him the
money to secure his fortune.

I, acts on an entirely different principle from the usual prescriptions given by Physi, clans. as it does not dry up Cough and leave the disease still in the sw- tem. but on the contrary removes the cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected and leaves them in a purely healthy condition. 4 bottle kept in the house fos use when the diseases make their appearance, vill save doc tors bills and long spell of serious illness. A trial will convince yoI of these facts. 1t is positively sold by all druggists and general dealers in the land, Price, 7s cts, large bottles,
