A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
 Scrofulous Humors - How Cure
 Was Effected.
 "When five years old my little boy had scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which would lester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My Wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improve ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out Of his blood and it has never since returned. WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams St. South Bend, Indiana.
 You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla or ail druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

WHY so MANY REGULAR
 PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Cure Female Ils--Some True Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham is More Successful Than
 tho Family Doctors.

A woman is sick; some disease pecu- liar to her sex is fast developing in her system. She goes to her family physi- elan and tells him story, but not He whole story.
 She holds something back, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and thus completely mystifes the doctor.
 Is it any wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease? Still, we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician.
 It was for this reason that years ago Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, determined to step in and help her sex. Having had considerable ex- perience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she encour- aged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to their complaints, and, being woman, 1t was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into her ears every detail of their suf- fering, Over one hundred thousand women were successfully treated by Mrs. Pinkham last year. Such are the grand results of her experience.

The Loyal Devotion of Two Lovers.

Salisbury Sun.
Miss Minnie Stirewalt, daugh-
ter of Rufus Stirewalt, Of near
Ebenezer, this county, was quite
recently taken to the State Hos
pital at Morganton. For long
time she had been afflicted and
some time since her mind became
affected and it was thought best
to have her taken to the Hospital
where she could be properly at
tended.
Rev. G.. H. Cox relates to us q
pathetic incident, or series of in
cidents, in connection with Miss
Stirewalt's aff1iction. She was
engaged to q young man some
years ago and they would have
married but for the affllction
which came upon her. Four years
ago this young man who was work
ing in Concord, became very i'll
He was taken with fever which
it was thought would prove fatal
But he was brought back to health
The physician attending stated
that the presence of the young Ia
dy and her attentions is wha
saved the young mans life.
And when the lady became of
1icted and lost her mind tn
young man became, if possible
more loyal in his devotion tha
ever. He was with her often an
paid every attention possible.
!, Last week he accompanied he
| to Morganton and saw that sh
g would be properly cared for i

THE TOWN OF NOGOoD.

My friends have you heard of the town
of Nogood?
On the banks of the River Slow,
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower
fair,
Where the Sometimeorother scents the air
And the Softeasys grow.
1t lies Ill the valley of Whatstheuse,
In the province of Leterslide;
Thattiredfeeling is native there
It's the home of the reckless 1 don't
care,
Where the Giveitups abide.
The town is as old as the human race,
And it grows with the flight of years;
1t ls..wrapped in the fog of.idler's dreams,
Its streets are paved with discarded
schemes
And sprinkled with useless tears.
The Collegebredfool and the Richman's S
heir
Are plentiful there no doubt;
The rest of its crowd are a motley,crew,
With every class except one in view
The Foolkiller is barred out.
The town of Nogood is all hedged about
BY the Mountains of Despair;
Nosentinel stands OH its gloomy walls,
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,
For towards alone are there.
My friend, from the dead-alive town
Nogood
If you would keep far away,
Just follow your duty through good and
i'll;
Take this for your motto, 81 can I will, "
And live up to it each day.

He who has traded out his

When business is attended by

In dress, be neat and unobtru-

be so perfectly in keeping with
your occupation that the attention

his representations of the cost o
quality of his wares are not to b
