visitors declare she has more paved
streets and good sidewalks than any
city of her size in the state. She has
electric lights, water works, Greer COL

largest canning factory in the world.
A movement to exclude liquor deal
ers from church membership has been

Catholics is responsible, though 1t is
said they will still brew beer for their
private use.

Many women live where there is no skill
full specialist in women's diseases and still
more cannot afford to pay the high fees
charged. These sufferers should follow the
example of Mrs. Anna Willy, of Worthwhile,
Sphinx Co., S. OAK, who writes as follows
to DR.. r. v. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y:
II am enjoying good health, thanks to your
kind advice and valuable remedies. I suffered
very much with female ailments for more than
two years, when wrote to you for advice. After
six bottles each of DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescrp-
ton aud Golden Medical Discovery am now
a well and happy woman have also taken
did me great deal Of good"
DR.. Pierce has probably treated and cured
more cases of female weakness, pains in
the back, side and abdomen, nervousness,
headache, irregularities, alterations, tu-
mors and other female troubles, than any
other living physician. His wide expert
ence peculiarly fits him to bring about cures
when every one else fails. He charges no
fee whatever to those who write him for
advice, and he invites all to consult him
free by mail. His wonderful remedy,
Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, can
be depended upon to overcome nearly ev-
cry kind of disease that affiicts girls and
women. II contains no alcohol, opium, or
other narcotics, and does not create craving
for injurious stmulants, as is so often the
case with other medicines advertised Tor
woman's ailments.
An honest medicine dealer will give you
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and not
try to persuade you to take some inferior
substitute for the little added profit he may
make thereon.
Those who wish may enclose Fl one-ceni
stamps in their letters, and DIR. Pierce will
send free his 1908 page Common Sense
Medical Adviser, which is the most com
plete and practical family doctor book evei
published, containing over 700 pictures

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains OF disease is the worst form Of
slavery. George ID. Williams, of Manches-

helpless for five years that she could not turn
over In bed alone. After using two bottles
of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully inn
proved and able to do her own work" This
supreme remedy for female diseases quickly
cures nervousness, sleeplessness, melan-
choly, headache, bsckache, faintiDg and
dizzy spells. This miracle working medi-
