Mr.. f. C. Platt OF 43 Austin street has
been resident Of Worcester for 40 years.
He served in the u. s. navy, and has also
been a boss painter in the Bradley car
shops He recently made the following
statements.
For nine months past have suffered
with what doctors call low grade of in
hammation of the bowels. 1t commenced
in my stomach, and for more than six
weeks I passed quantities of blood. If
caught cold or ate anything that did not
agree with me, was forced to leave my
work, completely knocked out. I would
go home and to bed and could not get
warm, no matter how many clothes We're
piled on me. ran doAn from IT'S to 1853
pounds. Doctors afforded me no relief
whatever. At last, my wife, noticing the
Puritana advertisements in the papers,
consulted friends and was advised to try
it. I began using it and can trurhfully
say it is the only thing that ever touched
my case. From the start, almost, be-
gan to feel relief, and said to my wife:
We have good thing here!' L cheer

others may benefit from the use OF this

WHY Kick Now e!

The Sumter Herald in its last issue COM
plains about The people of Sumter sending
of for goods. Now We do not think it ex-
actly fair for our contemporary to complain
at this stage Of the game w.!en we quietly
submitted to that sort of thing for ,nany
years It is fact beyond question, that
up to this year Clarendon people went to
Sumter for everything Why? because the
Manning merchants did not keep the right
kind Of goods at prices to suit the purchas-
ing public, but this year an entire change
has .akeD place, the merchants of Manning
have got hump on themselves and are
selling goods as cheap as any town in the
State; and that is not all, they keep lines of
goods equal to any town many times its
size, and this is not all, the farmers have
learned through convincing argument that
Manning is as good c cotton market as is
found elsewhere. The Sumter Herald used
to boast OF its city capturing the Clarendon
trade, bat that was III the Old order of
things when our merchants did not cater
Tor tie cash trade; as soon il our merchants
took move on, here comes the Herald
reading to the people OF sumter, the fol-
lowing lecture:
If Sumter is to BE- built up the people
who live here will have to trade here There
are people in this city who, if they want
yard of ribbon, pair Of gloves, qnire Of
paper, a cake OF soap, piece of jewe!ry,
bit Of lace, a suit OF clothes. a package OF
envelopes, 4 can OF salmon. pound Of
butter, or anything from a paper of pins to
a perambulator, they send somewhere else
for It, though the same goods may be
bought as cheaply right at home. The"
seems to be some virtue attaching to goods
bought outside of Sumter for these people,
who yet expect to make their own living
here"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, rs they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There IS
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition Of the
mucous lining of che Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets indamed you have o
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which IS nothing but an intiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

FaDS IN MEDICINE.

There are fapS in medicine as in every
thing else and "new thing" frequently
sells for short time simply because it IS
new. But in medicine, as in nothing else,
the PEOPLE demand and will be satisfied
only witt positive, absolute merit. The
fact that Hoods Sarsaparila has stood It's
ground against all competition. and its
sales have never wavered but have remain
ed steadily at the top, demonstrates. be-
yond any doubt, the intrinsic virtues OF
this medicine. The new things have come
and gone, but Hoods Sarsaparilla sets up
oa the solid foundation of absolute merit
and its power to cure, and its sales con-
tiaUe 20 be the biggest in the world.
