What Is this Disease that Is Coming
Upon Us2

In upon us unaWares. Inc pa
tients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has q
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after q few months it is attend
ed with a greenish-colored ex-
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is giddiness, a sort of whirl-
mo sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de-
posting a sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently a
splitting up of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a sweetish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitatiop of the
heart; the vision becomes i'm
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
Of these symptoms are in turn
present. 1t is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some
of it's varied forms.
1t has been found that ply
sicians have mistaken the cause
Of this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, ETC.,
ETC., but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. 1t
IS also found that Shaker Elk
tract of Roots, or Mother Sci
GELS Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
his disease in all it's stages.
Care must be taken, however,
TO secure the genuine article.
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN
COTTON.
Mr.. John G. Hemptinstall,
Of Chulafrmee, Cleburn Co.,
Ala, writes: 'My wife has
been so much benefited by
shaker Extract of Roots or
}eigel's Syrup that she says
ne would rather be without
art of her food than without
ne medicine. 1t has done her
more good than the doctors and
nother medicines put together
I would ride twenty miles to
ret it into the hands of any SUI,
erer if he can get it in no other
way. | believe it will soon sell in
,his State better than cotton.

he had been long afflicted with
dyspepsia and disease of the
Urinary organs and was cured

he has sold it for four years
and never knew it to fail. =

Savage Beasts.
An announcement made by the crier /
the other evening that man named 7
William Samuels, local innkeeper F
and the champion boxer OF Wales,
would enter alone den of lions at a
nenagerie. located at Swansea, caused
considerable excitement in the town,
md drew great crowd to the show.
At nine o clock the band played "For
He's jolly Good Fellow" and then
Samuels. accompanied by Mr.. Bostock,
5he manager OF the show. walked up
20 den containing n lion and about a
iozen lionesses. A great crowd at
once assembled round the cage. Mr..
Bostock mounted platform and in
formed the public that his old friend
Samuels had volunteered to per-
'orm deed of daring such as had
never been done in the menagerie since
it's establishment in 1905. Mr.. White
nead, he said, recently at Cardiff,
entered the cage accompanied by Nine.
Saliva, the lion-tamer. and had by his
action caused a great sensation in South
Wales. But Samuels was going to sur
pass this feat, for though urged to let
Nine. Saliva accompany him. he de-
,lined to enter the den at all unless
allowed to do SO alone. This he was
now about to do.
The announcement was received with
great cheering, though 1t was evident
that, on the part OF many present, there
was a feeling OF considerable anxiety
and alarm Samuels, however. seemed
to share none OF these feelings of un-
sasiness. Attired as prize-ighter
and with blue rosette on his breast,
he appears at the entrance of the cage.
and, cudgel in hand. boldly entered it.
The lions appeared in no way to relish
this intrusion, and it looked as though
Samuels would have had warmer
welcome than he bargained for. Pos
sessed apparently with nerves OF steel
the man walked undaunted up to the
end OF the cage where the animals were
huddled together, awaiting only the
slightest encouragement to spring OF
the intruder, and held his cudge
Overwhelmingly before the nose OF tn
) fiercest. Growls of rage greeted thi
! act; but Samuels, in no way discom
posed. walked among the animals. an
t made them fly right and left befor

!. on one occasion acted so rashly tht
