GENTLEMEN when I wrote you
the latter part of December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief of three physicians, on her
deathbed; she could not retain either
food or medicine on her stomach, and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
lieve her. The doctors informed us
she had a cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for a person to
be so near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading of others being saved by the
use of your S. 5. S., we thought it
would do no harm, if not some good,
to try it, so we informed her of her
condition, just as the doctors had i'm
formed us, and left it with her to try
your remedy or not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
up, and improve; she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
no distress from it. We all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your s. s. S.,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more so the better, as
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.
Yours truly,
GEO. L. CROsGROvE.

Cancers.

We have numerous inquiries in re-
gard to S. s. S. in cases of internal
cancers, such as cancer Of the womb,
stomach and bowels. When the dis
ease attacks these organs, the doc ors
generally admit that it is incurable.
We make no boast Of what S. s. s. will
do in such cases, as the following let
ters we feel are worth more than vol
umes of claims that we might make.
Read them carefully:

have given her up, and say the sooner

she lives long she will die in agony.
While / do not know that they are
wrong in their opinions, am not sat-

the river at 3 O'Clock this morning
for the piece of raft, and when we
reached lie Claire aud the crew was
called for breakfast the mate was
missing. We searched everywhere
for him, but could get no trace of
him whatever. The supposition is
that he was sitting on the rail OF the

and fallen overheard. He was a
valuable man. had been with me
four years and his fate has caused
me great sadness. He must have
been drowned along the rapids, so
that it is difficult to tell just where
to look for the body, or would i'm
mediately have begun dragging oper-

however, this would be useless"

Mate Babatz lived on Third street

for a number of years. He was 81
years of age and leaves a wife and
three children. AS Capt. Mckinley
says, he bore good reputation as an
industrious and in every way relia'

His death is the sad termination Of
the rafter's last trip, for a time al

Weyerhauser and Rutledge will at.
tend to the log towing for the lower

The three-year old boy of J. A. John
Sun, of Lynn Centre, ILL.,, is subject to
attacks of group. Mr.. johnson says he
is satisfied that the timely use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, during a severe
attlck, saved his little boys life. He is
in the drug business, a member of the
firm of johnson Bros of that place; and
they handle great many patent medi
cines for throat and lung diseases. He
bad all these to chose from, and skilled
physicians ready to respond to his call,
but selected this remedy for use in his
own family at time when his child's life
was in danger, because he knew it to be
superior to any other, and famous the
country over for it's cures of Group, Mr..
johnson says this is the best selling cough

We Lack Musical speech.

In England and France children are
reproved for talking too fast and too
loud, says Godey's Magazine: in con-
sequence there is more music in the
voice Of the women of these nationali-
ties than can be found in that of
Americans.
A low-keyed sweet voice and a dis
tinct information should be possessions
much coveted by women. They are
often the secret of the fascination ex-
ercised by plain women over those
with whom they come in contact.
Much may be learned by watching
ones self carefully and depressing the
natural tendency to speak shrilly and
enunciate thickly.
Almost all of the English writer's
comment on our lack of cultivation in
this respect, and while lauding the
grace, beauty and intelligence Of the
American girl, generally manage to
say something sarcastic in regard to
her voice. While every other depart
ment of education in America Is of
the best, the neglect to train the speak
ing voices of children shows lack of
appreciation of the power Of we'll mod
ulated tones.

A Flower That Close. Rivers.

The water hyacinth continues to grow
in vigor and numbers. Scarcely
stream Of Southern Louisiana but is
beset with these beautiful parasites,
and their ever increasing proportions
are rapidly assuming serious phase.
Many of the bayous Of the Atchafalya
Basin have become filed with the
plants, and the lakes are almost entire
ly covered with them. So dense are
the masses that boats Of considerable
size find it impossible to make progress
in the streams. and the Atchafalaya
river itself Is dotted constantly with
floating islands Of the wonderfully pro-
life hyacinth. The Police Jury of Ter
rebonne Parish recently made an ap-
preparation to secure the services of a
steamboat to make trips up and down
Terrebonne Bayou, SO as to prevent
the stream being choked up entirely
Bayou Teche is infested Also and prac-
tically every one of the water courses
of that section of the state are being
clogged with the hyacinth.
If the salt water does not ascend the
streams in question and kill the myr-
lad of plants, the matter will demand
the attention of the government engin-
GERS, and appropriations will be neces-
sary to remove the incubus. From
Florida also comes news Of the plant,
and it is said that the streams and
lakes Of the Peninsula state are being
closed by the rapid growth of the para
sites in question, and yet but few
years ago they were unknown in the
regions infected.-New Orleans Times

Stylish Dog Collars.

And now it's dog collars!
The craze for piling the rooms with
bric-a-brac has somewhat passed away
1T spent it's last period in pewter
utensils. In place of it a fancy for
curious old trinkets and ornaments has
developed.
Last year. says a Partisan writer,
the old curiosity shops were ransacked
for the ancient buttons which lent
such a stylish air to the then fast
ionable Louis Nv. and Louis XVI.
coats. Previously shoe buckles had
their turn.
Now the objects in the pursuit of
which many fruitless hours are spent
are antique dog collars, a chase rem
dered all the more absorbing that the
game is woefully scarce. She who can
ferret out a collar of unmistakable sew
enteenth or eighteenth century origin
is indeed fortunate woman.
Many have to be content with the
acquisition Of small chased silver bells,
which they hang around the necks Of
their pets by means Of ribbon tied
with bow, the size of which is gen
orally in inverse ratio to the dimen-
sions of the dog
