What is this Disease that Is Coming
IjuOD Us?

tents have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel du
and sleepy; the mouth has
bad taste, especially in th!
morning. A sort of sticky slim
collects about the teeth. III
appetite is poor. There is
feeling like a heavy load on
stomach; sometimes a faint,
gone sensation at the pit of
stomach which food does 4
satisfy. The eyes are SUNK
the hands and feet become q
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a 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 a giddiness, a sort of whirl-
ing 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 q sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently a
splitting up of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a swedish
taste; this is frequently f.
tended with palpitation of the
heart; the vision becomes i1p-
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are IN turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms.
1t has been found that ply
5itians 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. It
is also found that Shaker Ex-
tract of Roots, or Mother Sci
gels Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN
COTTON.
Mr.. John G. Hemptinstall,
of Chulaf1mee, Cleburn Co.,
Ala, writes: 'My wife has
been SO much benefited by
Shaker Extract of Roots or
Seigel's Syrup that she says
she would rather be without
part of her food than without
the medicine. It has done her
more good than the doctors and
all other medicines put together.
1 would ride twenty miles to
get it into the hands of any suf-
ferer if he can get it in no other
way. I believe it will soon sellin
this State better than cottona

private gifts have amounted to sew
en- millions of dollars. He is one of
the greatest benefactors of mankind
that has ever lived in this OF any

IT HAS been intimated that the
president will send in a special mes
sage to congress as soon as it reas-
sembles, recommending repeal of
the internal revenue tax on tobacco.
That would be an admission that
Bro. Blaine's claim that tobacco is a
necessity is valid one.

THERE is a saying as old as the

it perhaps never occurred to the
originator Of the expression that
girls will be boys" 1t is fact,
however, that they are fast learning
to initiate their big brothers in ev-
erything that they do. Their latest
rage in the northern seminaries is
hazing new students.

FLOWEE FESTIVAL.
what is Desired by the Ladies
TC.uay.


To-day the management of the
Flower Festival desire geraniums, ivy
and English ivy, smilax, and callas
and leaves from all who can conve.
niently send them to the Pavilion.
1t will facilitate the work if these are
sent in abundance. All persons who
have promised to assist in booths dur
ing the festival will do we'll to be on
hand to-day and tomorrow and take
a share of the hard work. Each
committee is expected to put lis own
booth in order. Gentlemen who are
at leisure can be made very useful.
Mrs. Stephens, Chairman OF the Sup
ply Committee, is ill, and the follow
ing ladies have kindly taken her de-
partment: Mrs. NJ A. Gibson, Mrs.
Ehle Pomeroy, Mrs. r. M. Parcels.
Tomorrow morning the several dis.
tricts from which flowers are to come
will be visited early. Those persons
who have promised flowers will refer
to their printed slips and be ready on
their particular days. They should
be sure and pick the flowers before
the sun shines on them.
Each variety should be sent in a
separate package if possible, paste
board boxes are best for packing all
delicate or choice flowers. In sending
roses include foliage and those who
can will kindly mark the names on
the packages. Many long branches
of climbing roses will be appreciated.
Persons having bulbous plants in

hem to the Dubious Booth" These
should be sent in boxes marked
Bulbous Flowers"
A booth is to be devoted to Spring
flowers, the particular feature Of

perishable' and can best be sent in
pasteboard boxes by them selves and
marked SO that they may be handled
only once.
Tickets for sale to-day at the Pa
vi)ion. All workers can secure
badges in exchange for seq ason tickets.

DEDICATED.
The New congregational Church
at PicO III HeightS.


The dedication ceremony, yester-
day, at the Pico Heights Congrega
tional Church, was attended by a
large congregation, which assembled
at the three o'clock service at the new
edifice. The church had been taste
fully decorated. Rev. G. s. Uzzell
took charge of the services, and, after
singing by the choir, Rev. E. s. Will
liams, of the Third Congregational
Church, read a passage of scripture,
and Rev. j. FL. Philips, of the Second
Congregational Church, offered a
fervent prayer. The choir sung,
Crock of Ages" Rev. r. e. Hutch
ins, of the First Congregational
Church, delivered the opening
address, and stated that he
was rejoiced to see prayers
answered and hopes fulfilled.
He drew a strong contrast between
the erection OF saloon and church,
and after illustrating the evils that
eliminate from saloon, dwelt upon
the affinity that would naturally exist
between the people and the church.
The church would be a place where
they would come for spiritual aid. To
many it would be a place where
numbers would first become ac-
quainted with Christ, and also place
where, for years to come, people
would assemble to take the last sad
adieu of their deceased friends.
Rev. j. H. Philips responded
to Rev. MIR. Hutchin's adj
dress, and illustrated the power
or influence of a single act by
referring to Susannah Wesley, the
mother of John and Charles Wesley,
whose dead hands are ringi g over
ten thousand Methodist Church bells
throughout this land; the woman who
those boys how to ordain through the
love and power OF Jesus Christ.
Rev. G. S. Uzzell gave a brief his
tory OF the formation of the new
church society, which dates back
only to September, 1887. Since that
time it has been organized, incor.
porated and has completed a new
church. The treasurer read the re-
port of the amount of expenditures,
