1t is surprising fact, says Prof
Houton, that my travels in all parts
of the world, for the last ten years,
have met more people having used
GREEN'S August Flower than any
other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged
liver and stomach, and for constipa-
ton. | find for tourists and sales
men, or for persons filling office
positions, where headaches and
general bad feelings from irregular
habits exist, that Green's August
Flower is a grand remedy. 1t does
not injurc the system by frequent use,
and is excellent for sour stomachs
and Indigestion. Sample bottles

is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines:

From the Sylvan Valley News, Brcvard. y, C..
II may be question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right to
publicly Recommend any OF the var
ious proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as 4 preventive
of suffering we feel it a duty to say Il
good word for Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many
cases a dose of this remedy would
save hours of suffering while a physic-
ian is awaited. We do not believe in
depending implicitly on any medicine
for cure, but we do not believe that
if bottle of Chamberlains Diarrhua
Remedy were kept on hand and ad-
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of physician would not be required.
At least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For
sale at Vivian's Pharmacy.

Device to outwit Railroad seaiper.-

A travelling man Of Anderson, Ind.
has invented a mileage ticket which
will protect railroads against scalpers.
The ticket is n book which does not
open. There is a slit through which
the mileage strip is drawn out. The
passenger in buying a ticket signs his
name on the last ten miles, and the
book is then sealed UP. 1t cannot be
broken open without destroying the val
ue of the ticket. 1t is easy TO see that
such a book will have no attractions
for a scalper. The coupons are not
numbered continuously from ! TO loco,
SO Il second buyer must take the word
of seller ITS to its value, and just
there is where the ticket is exceedingly
weak, If not TO say valueless New Or
