Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tanned. Read the following extract

NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.

George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that P. P. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. P. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. p. 2. will not make
total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, P. P. P, Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. p. P. p. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and Indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. p, Lippmans Great Remedy.
Ladies, take p. P. p. and rid your
face of pimples, blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.

no fear of him at any style. Men who
have boxed with him before have gone
at it in the wrong way. 1 should never

in the lead, and met with straight,

Asked what she would do if Sharkey
resorted TO his favorite style of rough
and tumble clinching, Mrs. Boyd re-
Piled: eff he attempted that L would
beat him off with rapid succession of
upper cuts. Peter Jackson was my
guest at dinner once during one Of his
visits to St. Louis and he taught me how

my husband knows all about my box

thinks boxing is legitimate art, and
not at all brutal. He is perfectly will
ing for me to meet Sharkey for purse
or gate receipts, and should L win we
will devote the money TO building an in
dustrial school in this city for colored
boys and girls"
Then Mrs. Boyd led the way TO her
back kitchen, where she gave clever
ten-minute exhibition of her skill as a
bag-puncher before a Chicago News re-
porter, after which she playfully put up

Measures Introduced In Georgia LegisIa-

is the purport of two bills introduced
in the Georgia house of representatives
the other day.
One OF the measures makes it unlaw-
full for any person orpersons to sell or
furnish to other PERSONS cigarettes and
subjects violators to punishment aspire

ors. The football bill makes it unlaw-
full for any persons to engage in a match

that violators Ishall'be deemed guilty of
misdemeahor. s. "a,
The two were offered by Mr.. Cole, rep
resentative from Carroll county. He is
of the opinion that cigarettes and foot
ball are twin evils, and he proposes to
put the Georgia legislature.on record on
both,questions. Mr.. Cole says many peo-
pie think football is on the same plane
as prize fighting. and that the game is
equally as brutal as smuggling matches.

the same period there was received here
more than $340,0oo,O00 in gold coin,

burse fully $500, 100000 in gold. The
annual redemptions of mutilated paper

Don Carlos Receives n Letter from His
Daughter That Eloped.
Princess Elvira, the clipping daughter
Of Don Carlos, legitinist pretender to
the throne OF Spain, has been heard
from. Unless she has already set sail
for the United States, she is still in Bar
celona. From that place the princess
addressed q letter to her father, implor-
ing his pardon, but declaring that since
his second marriage with Princess Ber-
tina of Rome her home life had become
intolerable.
This letter was written as a sort of re-
spouse to the communication which Don
Carlos addressed to his followers and
adherents, informing them that his
daughter, Elvira, was dead to him, and
requested their prayers for her mis-
cradle soal."
Meanwhile, the princess brother,
Don Jaime, really the active head of the
Carlist party since his fathers second
marriage, obtained leave of absence
from the Russian cavalry regiment to
which he is attached, and is watching
on the French side of the spanish
frontier with. the avowed determine
ton of shooting Folchi, the companion
of Donna Elvira's fight, if he dares to
appear in French territory.
Realizing the harm likely to result to
the Carlist cause from any such tragedy,
the archbishop of Barcelona, one of the
most stanch adherents of the pretender,
has written both to Don Carlos and Don
Jaime. imploring them not to commit
any act ofindiscretion that would cloud
their future prospects in Spain.

Hoke Smith Demonstrates His Fair Client
Did Not Rob the Complainant.
Ex-Secretary Hoke Smith appeared
in magistrates court at Atlanta, Ga,
the other day as counsel for Mrs. NJ. l..
Henson, who was charged by DR.. +. T..
Powell with robbing him of his pocket
book. The doctor stated that Mrs.
Henson had visited his Office to get a
prescription. As she was leaving he
asked her if she would not kiss him.
He declared that she did kiss him and
at the same time picked his pockets,
Fetting purse containing $45.. The
defendant denied the statement and de-
clared that she ran out of the Office
when the doctor became offensive.
Mr.. Smith invited the doctor, who
weighs l225 pounds, to hug him and
show the justice how the woman picked
his pockets. The doctor accepted the
invitation, threw his arms around the
eHSecretary and they Rugged each
other tightly, but the doctor did not
reach Mr.. Smiths hip pocket, for he is
stout, too. Nor could Mrs. Smith reach
the doctors gun pocket, and the magis-
ytrate decided that it was physically i'm
possible for Mrs Henson to have robbed
the physician even if she had Rugged
him, and dismissed her.
