No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or Of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but son call" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety-nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the riskl
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist SO cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
you'll get something better

In the Big Sandy Region.

"In the sorghum region of the Big
Sandy river" said wholesale merchant,
'are some of the most abject people to
be found on the face of the earth. In
many instances they allow the pigs to
run under their houses, and while the
family is eating, the pigs may be seen
searching under the floor for crumbs or
such bits of food as should escape. In
many places the boards composing the
floor are half an inch apart and you can
easily imagine the odors that rise from
thence, and permeate all parts of the
house. The household furniture is very
meager and seldom extends beyond a
plain pine table, few broken chairs
and cracked stove. The clothing
these people wear has the appearance
of having been mildewed years ago, and
has lost all traces of original color. -
