Your Friend Committed Suicide.

You never suspected it, none OF his friends
dreamed of it, he did not know it himself,
but it is exactly what he did, nevertheless.
Do you remember his sallow complexion!
Do you recollect how he used to complain of
headache and constipation! I'm getting
quite bilious" he said to you one day, ''but
Iguess it'll pass of. I haven't done any
thing for it, because don't believe in dos
ing" Soon after that you heard Of his
death. 1t was very sudden, and every one
was greatly surprised. If he had taken DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets he would
be alive and well to-day. Don't follow his
example. The pellets" are easy to take,
mild in their action, and always sure.

" Nasal Voices. Catarrh and False
Teeth"

A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill, nasal
voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twit-
ting they get about this nasal twanR, and
yet it is fact caused by our dry stimulat-
ing atmosphere, and the universal presence
Of catarrhal difficulties.
But why should 20 many Of our women
have false teeth!
That is more Of poser to the English. It
il quite impossible to account for it except
on the theory Of deranged stomach action
caused by imprudence in eating and by
want Of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mal-nutrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition is
q modern one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular use
of what is now known as Warmers Log
Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy and
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, two old fashioned
standard remedies handed down from our
ancestors, and now exclusively put forth
under the strongest guarantees of purity
and efficacy by the world-famed makers Of
Warmers safe cure. These two remedies
plentifully used as the spring and summer
seasons advance give positive assurance
Of freedom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful and, if neglected, inevitable conse-
quences, pneumonia, lung troubles and con-
sumption, which SO generally and fatally
prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem. Henry Co.,
Iowa, served four years in tho late war and
contracted disease called consumption by
the doctors. He had frequent hemorrhages.
After using Warmers Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption remedy, he says, under date
of Jan. 10Th, 1883: 81 do not bleed at the
lungs any more, my cough does not bother
me, and do not have any more smotherlng
spells.'' Warmers Log Cabin Rose Cream
cured his wife of catarrh and she is sound
and well"
OF course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false teeth
owners, but these conditions can be readily
overcome in the manner indicated.

Sleeves That Filter tho Blood.

This rough smile describes the kidneys
pretty accurately, or rather indicates their
function, which is to separate from the vital
fluid, which passes through them, hurtful
impurities. If their activity ceases, they
are liable to diseases which prove fatal.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters gives their &C
ton the requisite impulse without irritating

and nervous complaints, rheumatism and
biliousness are subjugated by the Bitters.

Protect Texas Wool.

G. g. Burbank, a prominent sheep
man OF Menard county, Is In this city,
en- route to Washington, to look after
the sheep industry of this state, now
threatened by the democratic congress
in its effort to carry out the recommen-
dations OF the presidential message.
Mr.. Burbank was introduced to the
I.IGHT Office this morning through the
courtesy Of r. X. Clarridge, OF the
Texas StOckman. Mr.. Burbank informs
the LIGHT that on the 26th Of December
q meeting was held in McKavette,
Menard county, at which the sheep in
terest of Menard, Kimbsll, Sutton and
Schliecher counties were represented.
At this meeting 1t was determined to
send special representative to
Washington to lay before the Texas con-
gresslonal delegation the necessities OF
the wool men OF this state and see what
action they proposed to take when
the question Of reduction Of wool tariff
came before congress; also to cooperate
with Col. A. Z. Shepard, the Texas del
egate to the wool conference called to
meet In Washington on the 18th inst, to
unity the wool interests all over the
United States that concerted action may
be taken to impress upon congress
the necessity Of caring for the wool in
terests OF the country, in the attempted
tariff revision.
Mr.. Burbank feels, as do the wool men
OF the counties he represents, that San
Antonio should not sit idly by while
this matter so vital to the interests OF all
southwestern Texas is being determin-
ed, but that all influence and power OF
remonstrance should be exerted to pre-
vent the proposed placing Of the wool
