ing the activity Of the blood-makine
glands vGolden Medical Discovery"
Strengthens every organ of the body.
Accepting the fact that the blood is the
life, it follows that the healthfulness OF
the physical life will depend upon the
healthfulness of the blood, and that a
deficient supply of blood must result
in a deficiency of physical strength.
wGolden Medical Discovery" gives
health and strength by increasing the
quantity and improving the quality of
the blood. The evidence of this lies in
the marked gain in weight experienced
by those who have become emaciated
by wasting disease, and who have been
cured by the use Of UGolden Medical
Discovery" It is not a gain of fabby
fat, but a gain of sound flesh and firm
muscle, and with this gain of flesh and
muscle comes a gain of strength, which
seeks a new outlet for itself in active
exercise. The frequent testimony, uIt
has made new man of me,D thoroughly
expresses the real regeneration which
comes to those cured by the use of
uGolden Medical Discovery"

the UDiscovery" when its record of
cures is considered.

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
The Danger In That Common Disease, Ca
tarrh.

tarrn.
Because catarrhal diseases are so
common and because catarrh is not
rapidly fatal. people too often over
look and neglect il until some incur
able ailment develops as result of
the neglect.
The infiamed condition of the mem
brane of the nose and throat makes
Il fertile soil for the germs of pneu-
mOnia and consumption, in fact ca
tarrhal pneumonia and catarrhal
consumption are the most common
forms of these dreaded diseases
which annually cause more than one
quarter of the deaths in this coun-
try.
Remedies for catarrh are almost
as numerous as catarrh sufferers,
but very few have any actual merit
as cure, the only good derived be-
ing simply n temporary relief.
There is, however, n very effective
remedy recently discovered which is
rapidly becoming famous for its
great value in relieving and perma-
nently curing all forms of catarrhal
diseases, whether located in the
head, throat. lungs or stomach.
This new catarrh cure is principal
ly composed of n gum derived from
the eucalyptus tree, and this gum
possesses extraordinary healing and
antiseptic properties. 1t is taken in
ternally in the form of a lozengc or
tablet, pleasant to the taste and so
harmless that little children take
them with safety and benefit.
Eucalyptus oil and the bark are
sometimes used, but are not so con-
venient nor so palatable as the gum.
Undoubtedly the best quality is
found i'm Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
which may be found in any drug
store, and any catarrh sufferer who
has tried douches, inhalers and Ii
quid medicines, will be surprised at
the rapid improvement after n few
days use of Stuart'sCatarrh Tablets,
which are composed of the gum of
the eucalyptus tree, combined with
other antiseptics which destroy the
germs of catarrh in the blood and
eXpel the catarrhal poison from the
system.
DR.. Ramsdell in speaking of ca
tarrh and its one cure says: after
many experiments 1 have given up
the idea of curing catarrh by the use
of inhalers, washes, salves or liquid
medicines. i have always had the
best results from Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets; the red gum and other valu-
able antiseptics contained in these
tablets make them, in my opinion,
far superior to any of the numerous
catarrh remedies SO extensively adj
vertised. The fact that Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets are sold in drug stores,
under protection of II Trademarks.
should not prejudice conscientious
physicians against them because their
undoubted merit and harmless char
acter make them remedy which
every catarrh sufferer may use with
perfect safety and the prospect of
permanent cure
For colds in the, head, for coughs,
catarrhal deafness and catarrh of the
stomach and liver, people who have
tried them say that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets are a household necessity.

DAVENPORT DOINGS

Z. ;. jerks, the former contractor,
who disappeared several months ago,
when the grand jury was about to
indict him for forgery, and who re-
turned and gave himself up a few
days ago, pleaded guilty in the dis
trict court yesterday. Two of the
indictments against him were dis
and he pleaded guilty on the
third. Judge Bollinger sentenced
him To five years in the penitentiary
at FIT. Madison, at hard labor. 1t is
thought that jerks had the belief
when he returned that he could set
tie the cases, on what basis is not
known, but when he arrived here he
could not even raise the bond that
would keep him out of Jail. In the
meantime some very lively litigation
is i'm sight between his wife and his
creditors. and one or the suits
brought by the lady is set for trial
next Monday.

Even when the disease was far advanced;
when there were hemorrhages, night
sweats, emaciation and great weakness,
"Golden Medical Discovery" has cured
the disease and restored the strength.
WHAT FEW MEN KNOW,
is that catarrh in its commonest or
simplest form is menace not merely
to health but to life. Catarrh of the
lungs is but a step removed from con-
sumption. Catarrhal affections should
therefore never be neglected. They are
as dangerous as they are offensive.
"For twelve years I was sufferer
from catarrh and was treated by one of
the best physicians in the State of North
Carolina, who said the trouble had
reached my lungs" writes Mr.. J. NJ.

4 MISERABLE MAN.
Two Years and Six Months
Without Sleep.

Sleep seems to be in many cases a
matter of habit, just as eating and
drinking are habits. The Arab whose
desert life leads to abstemiousness, de-
clines the offer of a dTaught of water,
saying, mo thank you, drank yester-
day" He drinks only when thirsty,
and like his own camels, he can go long
and far without water.
It's much the-same with sleep. When

THE SOUTH'S GREAT FUTURE.
Col. w. ID. Mann Discusses Papers,
Politics aud Industry.


Col. W. d. Mann of New York. proprie-
tor of Town Topics and of the Smart Set
is in the city, spending a few days to en-
joy the fine weather before leaving for
his home. To Morning News reporter
he talked Interestingly yesterday regard
ing his publications, of politics, and about
the growth and future of the South. on
this subject he was particularly eloquent
Many years ago Cob Mann was proprie-
tor of the Mobile Register, and through
his many visits to different parts of the
southern country was familiar with its
conditions. The charges for the better in
the conditions had been steady, he says
ever since the war, but within the last
few years have been marvellous. He pre-
diets that the South, within the next ten
Years. will be the manufacturing center
of the world.
Col. Mann paid an especial compliment
to Savannah on it's evidences of prosper
ity, and was particularly pleased with the
city's paving and with the many excel
lent roads leading to the surrounding
country Savannah's rapidly growing
Importance as a port, he says, Is maklnS
an the other cities jealous.
Col Mann says that he is as he mas
always been, a staunch Democrat; an ex-
pansionist, but not an imperialist. He
does not believe, however that to De a
Democrat means that one is to be ued
to the conditions and issues that have
become dead but rather to he on the side
of the people in the issues that are con-
stantIy arising and which are of vital I'M
portance.
On the question of trusts for instance,
Col. Mann said, Il am often rebuked oy
az Oh Tapnncr4fir friends bPCatIS6
l favor such combinations when they are
in the interest of the people, and very
many of these trusts are in favor OF the
masses. Take the Standard OIL Company
for instance il is now giving light IN
homes all over the world at price that
would be absolutely impossible FOR con-
Germ of smaller capital and magnitude or
operations 1 think also that the recent
billion dollar steel combine will be Of
similar advantage to the peo-
pie as a whole, and I predict that
within few years ALL of the rail-
roads of the country will have been con-
solidated into five or six great corpora
lions, much on the principal bhat they are
now operated in France"
OF his Town Topics, Col Mann said
that IL is sent the world over, wherever
the English language Is spoken. It's pop
uarity he attributes to his policy OF be-
ing absolutely independent and neither
catering to nor fearing any class, person,
or combination.
The Smart Set, Col. Mann said, began
fourteen months ago. because he thought
there was an actual want for a magazine
of Just that character and" he added,
"Hs sales have justified me in my posi-
ton" He Us so confident that its circula-
ton will amount to half million copies
within the next two years that in case 1t
does not, he says, he will give up its
publication.
Col Mann was a colonel Of cavalry in
the Union Army He also is the inventor
OF the boudor car that bears his name.
