Perhaps some OF our reauer would
like to know in what respect Cham

any other. We will tell you. When
this Remedy is taken as soon as a cold
has been contracted, before it has be-

counteract the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen it's severity, and it is
the only remedy that will do this. 1t
acts in perfect harmony with nature
in relieving the lungs, opening the Sc

causing its expulsion from the air cells
of the lungs and restoring the system

Crazed by Liquor.

A negro by the name Of John Meek
ins became crazed by drink Sunday
and acted somewhat like a mailman.
He broke out window lights in several
stores, and seemed to have been bent
on mischief until he was stopped by
force. He was run down and caught
Monday morning and placed in con
finement. He had previously been a
quiet and orderly negro.
