any dangerous consequence from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our baby

of their plumpness and came out in
much better health than other children

Asthma Instantly Relieved.
Dr. B. Schifmann Astounds the Public With the Success
 of His Treatment.

Residents of this place were astonish- cd by notifications in these columns that the celebrated physician, Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann, would make public test of his remedy in this city on Sept. 10th. He invited every man, woman and child suffering with Asthma to call at the Montgomery Drug Co. and obtain, ab- cine. Dr. Schiffman adopted this novel way of introducing his treatment believing that a free personal test would be the best and only way to overcome the prejudice and scepticism of thou sands of asthmatics who had given up in despair after going through the whole range of so-called cures. He has in this manner proved the efficacy of his rem edy, and without asking the public to spend a penny. Dr. Schiffmann hopes that every sufferer in this town obtained one of his free samples. He fears. how ever, that there were some few who did not. before they were all given out. In order to give a fair opportunity to those who have not yet used the remedy, and also as guarantee of good faith. he has now requested this paper to an- above Druggists to refund the money to any person who purchases of them eith- CT soc or $1.00 package of Schiffmann's Asthma Cure between now and Oct. 18th, and finds that 1t does not do exactly as is claimed for it; the only condition be- ing that they return not less than three fourths of the package to them. Dr. true asthma his remedy will give imme- diate relief-ususny within fifteen sec onds; always within as many minutes. It has positively permanently cured thousands of cases which we're consid- cred incurable

Republicans are at Sea.

It is stated that the Republicans of Alabama are at sea just now because of the sudden change in the head of the Government which change may upset many well laid plans, and 1t Is added that until the policy of President Roosevelt in the matter of distributing offices Is known, there will be an overburdened anxious seat in Alabama.
 Immediately after it was announced some weeks ago that Judge T. B. Morton had been appointed to the CoIlectorship. Collector J. H. Bingham went to Wash ington and 1t is stated succeeded in hav- ing the appointment held up. It was still being held up when President Mckinley was assassinated. It remains in this at- titude, and there is considerable specu- lation as to what the final outcome will be.
 Judge Morton stated today that he had heard nothing further about his appoint ment but he was not at all uneasy. MT. Bingham is not here at this time. and Is believed to be in Washington. There are a number of fat offices yet to be filled in this State, either by reappolnt- ment or new appointment. and consider able anxiety is being manifested by the incumbents and applicants as to what policy the new President will pursue. Republican leaders who have heretofore controlled the distribution of Federal patronage in this State claim that they are not disturbed. but this does not ac- cord with the rumors one hears in polit- ical circles.

GEN, HARRISON SURPRISED.
Thinks It Premature to Discuss
 Gubernatorial Election.

opelika, Sept. 24 - tSpeciaD - Hon. George F. Harrison returned this morn ing from a two weeks visit to New York and Saratoga.
 During his absence 1t was published in several papers that he would be canci- date for Governor next year and imme- diateiy on his return The Advertiser cor respondent interviewed him m reference to the report.
 In response to enquiries he replied that the announcement that he would be. candidate for Governor was surprise and had not been authorized by him; that while he had been urged by num- ber of friends to enter the gubernatorial race and appreciated very highly their kind offers of support, that he had not had time to give the matter any consid- eration; that he thought it premature to even consider the matter yet, the election being a long time off and the great work of ratifying the new Constitution requir- ing all the attention that he could pos sibly give to political questions now.
 He expects to devote all the time he can possibly spare from professional du- toes to the canvass in favor of the new Constitution. He hopes to be able to makes number of speeches in favor of its adoption.
