A Question Asked And Fully
Answered.

Can yellsw fever be cured easily
and without the possibility Of a
failure?
DR.. Waters of Charleston, S. c.,
answered it in 1857, treating one
hundred cases without losing any.
Since then he wrote a treatise on
the subject which has never been
published. As the DR.. has since
died, his twin brother is left to an
swer for him. Most of our lives
was spent together, so the writer
had every means of knowing all
about his treatment. The DR.. went
on to state in his writing giving
his opinion. The cause which
produces yellow fever has not gem
orally been known. 1t is caused
by an animalcule or miasma float
ing in the air. 1t is then taken in
10 the system through the lungs
and probably the pores of the skin
by inhalation, and become a blood
poison and produces all the bad
effects noticed, which most of the
medicinal profession are aware Of.
All the cases / attended to, not one
had any symptoms Of black vomit
Owing to the astringent qualities
contained in the preparation used,
being a vegetable compound and
harmless in its use, the DR.. declar-
ed, / would rather undertake to
cure a case of yellow fever than
bad cold. In conclusion the writer
would say, that any one can treat
themselves as safely as the most
as it is simple and not
patent medicine. Any one writing
to the undersigned can get the Dr.'s
formula and his printed directions.

Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition of the surplus in
the L. s. Treasury engages the at.
tention of our Statesmen. but a
more vital question has our atten-
ton, and that is the reduction of
the surplus consumptives. Since
the discovery and introduction of
DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, there has been a
marked decrease in the mortality
from this dreaded disease, and it is
possible to still further reduce the
number of consumptives. How !?
BY keeping constantly at hand a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Dissolve
~ and using according to direc
tons, upon the appearance Of the
first symptoms, such as a Cough,
a Cold, a Sore Throat Chest, or
Side Pain. Teken thus early
cure is guaranteed. Trial bottles
free at H. R. Moore's drug store.

eNhlN SUR 81 INAUGURATION,
many of our people have taken up
an idea that immigration is the
panacea for all our ailments,
whether they consist ia our mate
rial or moral affairs, and that If we
could only fiji every nook and cor
ner OF our State with strangers, IL
would cause ms to realize an era of
prosperity never known before.
From our standpoint Of reasoning
we make the following deduction:
lst. An acre Of land. which is
valued now at $40 and makes one
bale Of cotton, would no; produce
one pound more it. by reason ola
dense population, It were valued at
and would bring 500.
End. There is certainly better
chance for poor man, he is in
dustrious, TO secure a few acres Of
land and home at SO an acre,
than the same acre atsl0O.
3rd. It will not be denied that
the moro dense a population, The
moro poverty and crime is the re
suit. AFFECT poverty and crime
are closely allied, and 90 hand in
hand, on account of which we have
never been an enthusiast in that d.
rection. What, in G ur judgement,
we need most, is capital to turn our
raw material into fabrics which,
when so materialized, is worth 25
cents a pound, instead of 9 cents
while in its crude and natural
state.
We have yet to see an enterprise
possessed of money that failed to
obtain labor. Our people can
not have forgotten when the great
Illinois Central railroad extended
the road from Lexington to Tchula,
and from Yazoo City to Greenwood
during which time we never heard
of any lack of hands. While our
oil mill was in operation night and
day, it never stopped an hour for
want Of hands, and the cause why
not now in operation is the want
Of competing lines of transporta-
ton, by which its products could
be marketed at the same price as
that Of other mills.
Little towns all over the State
are trying to induce strangers to
abide with them; but such as are
desirable in community are no.
fools. They generally 80 and
take look and investigate place,
before they pull up stakes and
move. No doubt Lexington is a
good place to live in, and has as
many conveniences as any interior
place in the State. We have to be.
gin with, healthy locality, fine wa
ter, a school that will prepare any
one for all practical business pur.
suits or even for a professional ca
reer, and is the place of all TOW as
for persons to come to and educate
their children. Bnt we do not
want tramps nor persons without
occupation. neither do we need idle
street corner critics, who seem to
occupy the same position on socie.
ty as hairy wart does on a per-
sons nose, which may be ornamen-
tai but is certainly not useful

Morphine and Its Victims.

In the case OF the latest victim of the
opium habit whose martial inconsistent
cies have reacted the courts, the key to
the unhappy situation is found in the
statement made by friends of the de-
fendant "She was great sufferer
from neuralg lgia, and was dosed with NOR
phine to relieve her of the excruciating
pain" Who dosed her? Nine persons
out of ten will answer Doctors"
While it would lie scarcely just to lay
the blame for the downfall of beauti-
ful woman at the doors of the medical
profession, it cannot be denied that tie
majority of women trace their first in
fatuation for the insidious drug to the
prescription which dear Doctor So-and-
so gave them to alleviate pain. Doctors
do not err in prescribing valuable rem
edy when it is necessary to do so; but
they err previously when they do not
solemnly warn weak or self-indulgent
women against the dangers which sur
round its constant use. Druggists in
form us that the extent to which NOR
phine is used by women in the we'll to-
do ranks of life is perfectly appalling.
Such being the case, and the evil hav-
ing been primarily brought home to the
medical profession, it is clearly the duty
of that profession to do its utmost, by
means of lectures, publications, and
private counsel, to point out the destruc-
tion of soul and body which must newt
ably follow a constant indulgence in the
opium bit.-Drake's Magazine.

Vampires not Vicious. krter All.
