For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?
(From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,
N. c.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer-
ing we feel it a duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
nov and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly OF any medicine for a cure,
but we do believe that if a bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician would
not be required. At least this has been
our experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by r . r. Bellamy.

Mayor A. NJ. Waddell, who served in
the confederate cavalry under General
Wade Hampton during the civil war,
called on his old commander yesterday
at the residence of Mr.. Pembroke Jones.
at Wrightsville, where the distinguish
ed veteran is a guest of Colonel Whar-
ton Green.
General Hampton is 81 years OF age,
but Colonel Waddell says he is the fin
est specimen Of manhood he ever saw
for his age. We regret to learn, how
ever, that the general has been indis-
posed for a few days, but he is not Sc
riously sick. He is greatly enjoying the
fine boating, fishing and bathing at
the sound. He is a natural born sports
man, and no adventure daunts his gal
liant spirit.
Senator Hampton will probably go to
Chester, S. c., where he is to be one
of the speakers at the annual reunion
of the South Carolina Confederates, to
be held August 24th.
