MEDICAL MEN !!
What Two Prominent Physicians Say
of a Noted Remedy.

CrawfordviIIe, Ga, Democrat.
BIB. B. is without doubt one ofthe most
valuable and popular medicines known
to the medical science, and has relieved
more suffering humanity than any other
medicine since it came into use. IL has
never failed in a single instance to pro-
duce the most favorable results where it
has been properly used. Physicians
everywhere recommend it as doing all it
is claimed to do. The following certifi.
Gates are from two prominent physicians,
who have done a large and successful
practice for many years, and upon whose
judgment the public can safely rely:
CRAwFoRDvILLE, GA, July 10, 1885.
Editor Democrat For the past ten
years | have been suffering with rheuma-
tism in the muscles of my right shoulder
and neck. During this time / have tried
various remedies, both patent medicines
and those prescribed by physicians. Last
summer commenced using 3. B. B., and
could see an improvement by the time l
had taken one bottle. Ihave been taking
it at intervals since last summer, and
can say it is the best medicine for rheu-
matism have ever tried. l take pleas.
ure in recommending it to the public.

ELDERToN, GA, June /, 1885.
My brother has son that vas afflicted
with rheumatism in one Of his legs until
the knee WIS so badly contracted that he
could not touch the ground with his heel,
and had scrofula. He took only two
bottles Of B. B. B., and scrofula and
rheumatism are both gone.
Mrs. NJ. a. Elrod came 10 my house
the past summer almost covered with
carbuncles and boils. got two bottles
of B. B. B, and before she had got
through with the second bottle she was
entirely we'll. She was also troubled
with swollen feet and ankles, and had
been for twenty years. All gonc-no
trouble with swollen feet now,
was troubled with bleeding piles since
1858. l used one bottle, and have felt
nothing of the kind since taking the
medicine. The clothing that l was
wearing when 1 left Atlanta fitted me
about the same as meal sack would a
bean pole. l haye on the same clothing
now, and they are tight fit.

"Well, to make a long story short,

"Well, to make long story short, I
bought her hair, which weighed four
ounces, and paid her $500 for it. sent
the switch to my customer, the countess,
and wrote ler the history of the hair.
She is woman Of great wealth and
goodness OF heart. The return mail
brought me a letter authorizing me to
pay to the poor little sailors widow 81 900
extra. I did so and wrote an account of
the affair to our official journal, which is
published in New York. The story was
so romantic that the daily papers copied
it and 1 received several letters from
charitable people offering pecuniary as
sistance to the sailors widow. She was
proud and refused to receive any help.
"One day, about three weeks after the
publication of the story, a man who was
bronzed and bearded came into my office
very much excited. He held in his hand
copy Of a New York paper and uphold
ing it pointed to my story.
"Can you give me the address of this
woman?" he asked, eagerly. "she is my
wife; thought her dead"
"While wrote down the address he
told me his story. His vessel had been
wrecked on the African coast, and he and
two others of tho crew alone reached the
shore. 1t was several months before they
managed to reach civilized port. lie
Immediately sent word of the disaster 10
the owners Of the foundered vessel and
wrote to his young wife. From the for
mer he received y reply, but he heard no
word from his wife, and when he reached
Philadelphia discovered thatshc had mys-
teriously disappeared. One day in look
ing over p paper he came across my story
and hurried to my Office to learn fuller
particulars. I sent him to his wife in
my carriage, and you can imagine what
occurred at the meeting, for each be-
lieycd the other dead. l wrote to the
countess, giving the sequel TO the story,
and the result was that the shipwrccked
captain now commands her yacht, and the
wife who sacrificed her hair to buy bread
sails with him on every voyage"

Hot Bed for Potato Slips.

NINETY SIX, S. c., March is, 1856.
w. J. BARKsDALE, Laurcns, S. G.
Dcur Cousin James: By request of
your father l write to tell you how I
make a hot.bed for propagating potato
slips:
For or bushels of potatoes, take
two planks feet long and - inches
wide, and two other feet long and same
width. set on edge and drive strong stakes
behind them forming box, on unspa-
ded ground. Fill this box with dry
stable manure, (avoidiug moisture as
much as possible, get on and pack firmly,
reducing it to within inches of the top
of the box. On this, spread rich soil or
woods earth II inches, smooth with rake
and put down your potatoes and cover
with three or four inches of soil, with a
little sand on the top. This completes
the planting. Now raise one side four
inches, to give fall to shed the rain, cover
with wide plank, common boards will
not do, four feet long and break the
joints. The object is to retain heat and
keep out moisture. About FIVE days
after bedding, run the hand down through
the potatoes and into manure, continuing
this daily, and as soon as found uncom-
fortaby hot, throw off the cover for
twenty -four hours; then recover, but
continue to examine daily, and as often
as found too hot again remove the cover
as above. Twice or thrice removing the
cover @ill be found sufficient. I uncov-
cred mine only once. In about ten or
fifteen days your potatoes will begin to
sprout, and as soon as sprouted, lemove
the cover entirely and begin TO water,
moderately at first, increasing the guam
tity daily as your judgment may dictate.
Remember that until the potatoes are
sprouted, no rain must be allowed to fall
on the bed. The least shower would
scald and cause them to rot also, do
not neglect the daily examination as di-
rected above.
By this process every eye on the potato
produces sprout simultaneously, in.
creasing enormously the number of
draws for first transplanting. Then if
the directions are strictly adhered to, no
loss from rotting need be feared, as when
exposed to cold rains. After the slips
are we'll up, they can be projected from
frost by replacing the cover. Do not be
in too great haste to transplant, but wait
until the roots become woody and are
three or four inches long. They will
live and grow Off more rapidly than if
set out when young and tender.
Very truly yours,
r. A. GRIFFIN.

How Bill Lit the Fire.

"AIebbe you've seen my boy Bill hang
ing around herc?" queried a farmer of a
policeman at the central market. "He's
communicating chap, little bow
backed, and has red mit:ens, blue
comforter aud scared look"
II saw such chap about au hour ago
but he's man grown"
"So's Bill. He's as big as anybody,
but he don't know nuLhin.' Tie other
morning nc got up to start the fire, and
come to look around he couldn't find a
match in the house. It's half a mile to
the nearest naybur's, and what did that
smart sou Of mine do? He put kindling
into the cook stove, tucked some paper
under it, and then got down the shotgun
to try brilliant experiment. He
thought the flame of the powder would
set the kind!ings going and save him a
tramp"
"And didn't it2"
"Why, the long.legged iguoramus
never stopped to see if the gun wasn't
already loaded, when, rs matter Of fact,
she had big charge Of powder and a
handful of buckshot already down.
When the gun went off The report riz
everybody out of bed in twink!ing, aud
away went all the glass in the kitchin
windows. We haven't got the house full
ly clear of smoke and ashes yet, while
the charge of shot blew the whole back
of the stove out"
"What did the boy do?"
Gle was lying on his back on the floor
when I got down. I got some water and
put out the couaagration in his hair and
eyebrows and goatee, and then / led him
to the back door and gave him lift
which lit him over a snow.drift six feet
high. l guess was little too hasty. l
heard he came to town, and thought I'd
hunt him up and sort O. apologize"
At that moment Bill came around a
corner of the butcher market, and the
father held out his hand and said
"Bi!l, you are the biggest fool in the
State Of Michigan, butyou can come back
home all the same !"
"Do you want me to ?"
"Sartin. You don't know 'nufl' to chaw

by cats since you left home. Git in thar
