 If We only knew how dangerous, in sidlous and ruthless disease indiges- tion is, We would not wait as we oo before endeavorlng to cure 1t,
 The longer we wait, the more dan gerous it is likely to become, So the sooner we take Shaker Digest i've Cordial the better 1t will be, and the better We will be.
 Indigestion is dangerous because it. creates polsons In the stomach which are absorbed by the blood and by it carried to all parts of the body.
 Could anything be worse than this?
 These poisons would not be formed if the stomach could digest its food, When it can't, Shaker Digestive Cor dial will help 1t to do so.
 Nothing will help the stomach so well as Shaker. Digestive Cordial. nothing else cure indigestion so quickly, or SC positively.
 The reason Is that 1t purifes the stomach and the blood, and makes your food strengthen instead of poison you.
 It is not a medicine, but an aid 10 digestion, a pleasant cordial for weak stomachs.

glowing endorsement to Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and its truly wonder full cures. He says
 ''I have known of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy for many years, and of many cases where great benefit has been de- rived from its use. Especially in the case of a lady who was bed-ridden and on whom all other remedies had failed, who used it and got great help. She now goes around the house and is comfortable. All the reports that have come to my knowledge, put Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy above everything in the line of popular remedies. My wife mother has used it. She was troubled with nervousness and general debility and was much benefited. She now sleeps quietly after using. know it is good remedy or l would not recommend it."
 Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem- edy is the medicine for you to take, and now is the time to take it. Dr. Greene's Cathartic Pills are the sure cure for biliousness and con- stipation. Sugar coated, easy to take, perfect to act. Dr. Greene, 35 West l4th St., New York City, the most successful physician in effecting cures, can be consulted free, in person or by letter. Nothing to pay for consultation, examination or advice. This fact, together with the low price of his health-giving medi cines places a sure cure in the reach of all. c

In Denmark, when a man is found too drunk to find his own house he is placed In cab, taken to the police station, ex- amined by the doctor, detained till sob CT, and then despatched to his home in another cab; and the bill for the doctor, the cab, and the police attendance, has to be paid by the publican who served the bibulous delinquent with his last drink. But for really original method of dealing With drunk and incapables" We must turn to Turkey.

A Southern Tribute to MiIIiken.

Albert H. Mowry, the Democratic post
master at Charleston, South Carolina, pub
Ished the following letter in the News and
Courier of that city:
Congressman Seth l.. Mlliken, whose
death was caused by pneumonia at Wash
inton, D. c.. during the night of the past
Easter Sunday, was born in Montville.
Waldo County, Maine, and represented the
Sd Congressional district of that State for
fourteen years, being reelected to the pres
ent Congress.
He was pronounced Republican, but not
contracted or illiberal His relations with
Southern members We're singuarly free
from any sembance of sectional autagonism.
His influence was always given where the
general interests of the country at large
could he benefited, and it was not withheld
even If the South alone received the assist
ance of the Government. Our able Repre-
sentative, the Hon. Samuel Dibble, being
chairman of the committee on public build
ings and grounds, House of Representatives
OF the 18th Congress, appointed the writer
secretary" of that committee, and then be-
gan my intimacy with Mr.. Milliken, that
strengthened AS the years rolled on. | found
him during my connection with that com
mittee, and ever since, to be warm hearted,
genial and considerate.
This State is largely indebted to his inter-
est in and support of internal improvements
for the liberal appropriations to rivers and
harbors, and this city especially SO, for the
unwavering support given Chairman Dibble
and his successor in Congress, the Hon
William H. Brawley, in obtaining for it
what is acknow lodged to be one of the finest
post offices and court house buildings in the
United States.
The sudden and untimely end of Mr.. Mil
liken has removed one to whom any Repre-
sentative could go for assistance or support,
i he,
honest conviction as man rather than al
leglance to party.
1t will be source of congratulation if his
place can be filled by one as worthy as him
self to receive the confidence and respect of
both political parties. His death causes
sincere regret among all who knew him we'll
or were associated, as have been, with him
for over one decade, and Charleston has also
lost warm friend and one who was always
ready to battle for her interests:
