Birth marks which mark and
mar the outside Of the body are
n grief to every mother whose
children may bear them. But
for every child who bears birth
mark On the skin there are many
who bear an indclible birth-mark
on the mind. Nervous mothers
have nervous children, and many
a man and woman owes an irrita-
bic and respondent temperament
to those days of dread when the
mother waited the hour of her
maternity. The use Of DR..

strengthens the mother for her
trial. With strength comes a
buoyancy Of spirits and quletness
Of mind, which is one Of the hap
piest gifts a mother can bestow
on her offspring. BY giving
vigor and elasticity to the deli
cate wOmanly organs, "Favorlte
Prescription practically does
away with the pain Of maternity
and makes the baby's advent as
natural and as simple as the
blossoming Of a flower. There
is no opium, cocaine or other mar
cOtic contained in "Favorite
Prescription.

tinguished families of that country. His
mother belonged to Loch Buie on one
side the McIean's of Quart Castle. His
parents moved to NOva Scotia in 1889.

Quently he sturied law at Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, and was admitted to the

saw a great deal of active service, being
wounded during the seven days fight Mt

the surrender of that place.
After the war he engaged i'm the mer-
camille business at Fayetteville. Later
on he moved to Charlotte, where he
resided until 1872 when he made his adj
vent into Mcdowell county. Since that
period he has been actively engaged in
the practice of his profession.
Col Sinclair enjoys a large and lucra-
tive practice. He is the counsel for the
Ohio River and Charleston Railroad and
the South Carolina and Georgia extern
