When a preparation has an advertised rep
station that is worldwide, it means that
ursnaration is neritorious. If you go into
store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The judgment
Of the people is infallible because it is int
personal. The retailer who wants to sell you
ksomething else" in place of the article you
ask for, has an ak to grind. Don't it stand to
reason? He's trying to sell something that
il not what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
arr of your credulity. Don't you see
through his little game? The man who will
try to sell you q substitute for Cascarets
is a fraud. Beware of him! He 10 trying to
steal the honestly earned benefits Of a repu-
tation which another business man has paid
for, and if his conscience will allow him to

and it is not safe to do business with him.

CATARRH

or inflammation of this delicate pink
membrane.
The system is weakened in win
ter. The delicate lining is more
susceptible to irritation or infamma-
ton, and thus we have pneumonia,
grip, colds, coughs, ~fevers, ETC., all
catarrhal conditions which may
easily be checked by one catarrh
cure-Pe-ru-na.
That's the only way out of it.
You may dose forever-you will
not be well until you try the true
cure and that is Pe-ru-na. You
may think your trouble is some
other disease and not catarrh. Call
it what you will, one thing is sure,
your system is affected and must be
treated, and Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy which reaches the right
place and does cure.

Asheville, n. c.

Few regions have been more richly en-
dowed by Nature than that famous section
Of Western North Carolina POLITICALLY
termed the Land OF the Sky" 1t has a eli
mate so dry and health-giving that it has be-
come known the world over as a natural san
itarium for the cure Of al. troubles OF a pull
monary or bronchial nature.
Asheville, the center Of this beautiful
mountain hemmed plateau, is the highest
city east of Denver, and is a busy, thriving
place of $4,000 inhabitants, with all the
modernisms of city life. The city lies just
at the point where the beautiful French
Broad and Swannanos Rivers join their
crystal waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs many
people of wealth have built beautiful and
expensive homes, and most notable among
them being the chateau Of Mr.. George w.
Vanderbilt, which, with its great estate, has
cost upwards of four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year resort, for the
great mountains protect it in the winter
from the cold winds, and it's summer climate
is made delightful because Of its altitude.

vicinity, call on any Southern Railway
Agent, or write Mr.. c. A. Benscoter, A. G

MERE OPINIONS.

In one respect men and eggs are
alike. They have a tendency to lose
confidence in themselves as they grow
older.
Sometimes the man who thinks he is
looking at both sides of the question
sees one side double.
A man often thinks he is obeying the
dictates of his conscience when he is
merely taking the course that looks
easiest.
Most of the men who sit down DELHI
erately to try to find out what Brown
ing's poetry means would regard a puz-
zle picture as too trivial for sane con-
sideration.
