STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 3O.-The stock market
continued very dull and professional to-
day but the field of activity broadened
out somewhat SO as to include more
stocks than in the dealings during the lat
ter part of last week. The added life to
the trading was on the selling side and
inroads were made up on value at points
that held remarkably firm up to this
time. American Sugar and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit were the leaders in point
of activity and weakness, but number
of other specialties came forward into a
fair degree of prominence. 1t was still

New York, July 30-The cotton market

is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent Med
icines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. G.
1t may be a question whether the editor
of newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend any of the various proprietary
medicines which flood the market, yet
as a preventive of suffering we feel 1t
duty to say a good word for Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy We have known and used this med1-
mine 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 physician is
awaited We do not believe In depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure, but
we do believe that if bottle of Cham
berlain's DiarrhCea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the incep-
ton of an attack much suffering might
be avoided and in very many cases the
presence of physician would not be re-
quired. At least this has been our exper-
fence during the past twenty years. For
sale everywhere. Bobbitt- Wynne Drug Co.,
