NOT Scar E D.
BUT THE HEART-THROBS OF
TRUE MANHOOD.

SPARTA, GA, Sept %, l995.-To the Constitu.
tim, 4ihantr-Were | to practice deception IN a
| case like this would think that my heart had
become scared beyond recognition.
To be guilty of bearing false testimony,
thereby imperiling the lives of my fellow-mcn,
would place me beneath the dignity OF gentle
man.
| The facts which disclose are endorsed and
| vouched for by the community in which live,
and trust they may exert the influence intended.
| For twenty long years have suffered untold
fortunes from n terrible pain and weakness in
| the small OF my back, which resisted all modes
| and manner OF treatment.
For long time the horrifying pangs of an eat
ing cancer of my lower lip has added to my mis-
cry and suffering. This encroaching, burning
and painful sore on my lip was pronounced Epi-
theia Cancer by the prominent physicians in
this section, which stubbornly resisted the best
medical talent. About eighteen months ago a
cutting piercing pain located in my breast, which
could not be allayed by the use of ordinary
modes of treatment.
These sufferings of misery and prostraton be-
came so great that on the 18th of last july
leading physician said that could not live longer
than four days, and had about given up IN des-
pair The burning and excrucating ravagrs of
the cancer the painful condition of my back and
breast and the rapid prOslratiOn of my whole
system combined to make me u mere wreck of
former manhood
While thus seemingly suspended on Unread
between life and death, | commenced the use OF
B. B. b., the grandest blood medicine, TO me and
my household, ever used
The effect was w0nderful-it was magical
The excrucaing pains which had tOrmented
me by day and by night for twenty years were
soon held in allegiance and peace and comfort
were restored to suffering man, the cancer
commenced healing, strength was impaired to
my feeble frame, and when eight bottles had
been used l was one of the happiest of men,
and felt about as well as ever did.
All pain had vanished, the cancer on my lip
healed, and was pronounced cured. To those
who are afflicted, and need blood remedy,
urge the use OF b. B. b. as wonderfully effective,
speedy and cheap blood purifier.

LA CHOCOLATIEEeE.
At CarII's Opera House February 25 And 26-A Brilliant Social Event.

At CarII's Opera House February 25
 And 26-A Brilliant Social Event,
 What is a chocolatiere and what is to be the order of the day at the entertainments which the Womens Christian association of our city propose to give at CarlPs Opera House on Thursday and Friday evenings, Feb. 25th and 26th? The above are some of the questions which are daily asked.
 The French dictionary says that the literal meaning of la choeolatiere is Ca chocolate pot"
 Is this anything of enlightenment? If not it may be added that there to be any quantity of chocolate pots at this party as we'll as tea and coffee pots.
 Where there is chocolate pot there is also supposed to be chocolate, and the ladies pro- pose that their chocolate, served with plenty of delicious whipped cream, shall be the finest and most tempting imaginable. But this is not all for the very best cooks in the city will contribute their daintiest dishes, and the cuisine of the entertainment it is ex- pected will be unsurpassed
 Each supper table is to be presided over by a charming dame and an agreeable es- oui1e, and everyone will be sure to find some friend or friends among the many hostesses present with whom he may enjoy his supper and his cup of chocolate or tea. It is expected that Thursday evening shall be one of the pleasantest social events of the season. The parquet at the opera house is the tables there will be plenty of room for promenading. This, with the accompaai- ment of fine band concert, will prove Q most enjoyable feature.
