THREE FREE BOTTLES (ail differently
of his New Discoveries to any afflicted
reader of the CLNcH VALLEY News

treatment" has cured thousands per-
manently by it's timely use, and he con-
siders 1t a simple professional duty 20
suffering humanity to donate trial of
his infallible cure.
Science daily develops new wonders,
and this great chemist, patiently expert
menting for years, has produced re-
suits as beneficial to humanity as can
be claimed by any modern genius. His
assertion that lung troubles and CON-
sumption are durable in any climate Is
proven by "heartfelt letters of graft
tude," filed in his American and Euro
pean laboratories in thousands from
those cured in all parts of the world.
Medical experts concede that bron-

Consumption, which, interrupted means
speedy and certain death.

Population of TozeweH.

We are glad to be able to give our
readers this week the exact number
of inhabitants of the town. 1t has
been matter of conjecture and dis
pute. Mr.. Jno. II. Lewis was ap
pointed some time ago to take a
census. He has just completed the
tedious and laborious task. The total
number OF inhabitants, white and
colored of both sexes is 1865. Mr..
Lewis did not keep seperate lists of
colored and white. About
twelve years ago, the census showed
about 700, so we lack only about l35
of doubling our population during
this time. This is good showing
While nearly all other towns show
a falling off in ten years, we have
grown steadily ali the time, and are
still growing.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to
know that the very best medicine for
restoring the tired out nervous sys.
tenn to healthy vigor, is Electric
Bitters. The medicine is purely
vegetable. acts by giving tone to the
nerve centers in the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing
of impurities in the blood. Electric
Bitters improves the appetite, aids
digestion and is pronounced by those
who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try
it. Sold for SOC. or S1.00 per bottle
