The Eunereal Month Of March,

The Bible tells US that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. The Romans
considered badness q serious affection and
julius Cesar was never quite satisfied with
himself because his poll was bare.
Tho face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in its various express
sions, lines, changes and complexion the
state Of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and yet
has q pallid brightness, The face upon
whose checks nature paints q rose Of sin
gular beauty and flush, more marked in con
trast with the Rlabaster appearance OF the
forehead and nose and lower part Of the
face, is one Of those whom the skilled ply
sician will tell you will some day dread
the funereal month Of March, because il
is then that consumption reaps its riches,
harvest Consumption they tell US Is causeC
by this, that aud the other thing, by mi
crobes in the air, by micro organisms in
the blood, by deficient nutrition, by a thou
sand and one things, but whatever the cause,
decay begins with q cough and the remedy
that will efectually stop the cause OF that
cough cures the disease Of the lungs.
That is all there is Of it.
The cough is IN evidence Of q wasting.
To stop it effectually, q remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This is b power,
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no ~new-fangled notion OF
narcotics and poisons, but an old-fash-
ioned preparation Of balsams, roots and
herbs, such as was used by Jul ancestors
many years ago, the formula Of which has
been secured exclusively by he present
manufacturers at great trouble and expense.
It il not Q mere cold dryer. 1t is q system
searcher and upbuilder and q consumption
expellant- Where others fail, it wins, be-
cause it gets at the constitutional cause and

IS, 1888. reported that "he had derived
more real benefit for the length of time,
from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption remedy than he had for years

tive assurance in your own mind that

The report made to the Legislature

number Of interesting facts. In their

ing different grades of moral turpitude.
or. in other words. by increasing the
list of ~offenses to which capital punish

Hogs seem 20 be peculiarly sensitive to

that is in good thrift will very soon
give unmistakable evidence of it in the

As above stated. an earth floor is the

allowed to become so dry as 10 yield

duce a s'camy. reeking condition in the

Every p%recaution should be adopted to
exclude these Odious vermin. Their

hogs not a little, to say nothing of the
