saw the real cause oftheir dismissal. The

Those who went out to the Asheville-

they did not see such a scientific game as
could be desired. The Augustus ratified
the Asheviles for little while, and it

The Ashevile contingent finally
got on its bowling voice, however, and
gave the Asheyilles so much encourage
mcnt that they climbed up untilit looked
as though the Augustus would be
caught up with, but the Ashevilles picked
up too late, and the score stood at the

AntimiSraine
THE MEYER FAILING CURE FOR
Absolutely Safe, Perfectly
Sure, and Always
Speedy.
Cures Every Variety OfHeadache
AND NOTHING ELSE.
ANTIMIGRAINE

Has earned for itself the enviable reputa-
ton of being the finest, most effective
and reliable article in the market for the
speedy relief and cure of every variety of
that common trouble, headache. The
immense favor which has greeted it from
all quarters proves its true merits and
acceptability to the public. 1t is some
thing which almost everyone needs, and
those who have once tried it will never
be without.
For its curative powers it does not
depend upon the subtle influences of such
poisonous drugs as
Antipyrine, Morphine, ChlO-
raj and Cocaine,
since it does not contain an atom of
either of these. 1t is absolutely free from
injurious chemicals, and can be taken by
young and old without fear of serious
results. 1t is not Cathartic, does not
disarrange the stomach, and contains
no noxious or sickening ingredients.
The peculiar advantages of Antimi-
graine consist in it's being thoroughly
reliable as cure for any kind Of head
ache-without respect to cause-leaving
no unpleasant or annoying after effects,
as in the case of other so-called "harm-
less" remedies. These qualities make it
the most popular and saleable article in
the market, wherever known.
