SOMETHING THAT WILL DO YOU
 GOOD.

We know of no way in which we can
 be of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best reme- dies on the market for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup.
 We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it with such good results in our family so long that it has become household necessity.
 By it's prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented crOup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, es pecially those who have small children, always keep it Tn their homes as safeguard against croup.-Camden(S C.)Messen- ger.

THE EASY PILL.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
 gripe nor weaken the system. They cure billiousness, jaundice, constipa-
 tion and inactive livers, by arousing ly. yet effectually, and giving such tone and strength to the glands of the stomach, liver and bowels that the cause of the trouble is removed entire ly. These famous little pills exert a decided tonic effect upon the organs involved, and if their use is continued for few days there will be no return of the trouble. S. J. Parks, Trum- bull: w. N.
