DR.. Pierce's Ravorite Prescription gives
the mother health to give her child. 1t

Favorite Prescription :" writes Mrs. B. E. Robert
son, of Medicine Lodge, Barber Co., Kans. "In
the fall of 1899 l was expecting to become
mother and suffered terribly with pains III the
back of head i'll fact ached all over Suffered
with awful bearing-down pains was threat
ened for weeks with hlishap. A lady friend
told me to use DIR. Pierce medicines. She had
taken them and felt like a new woman. began
using the Favorite Prescription and took four
bottles before my baby came and two after
wards ! suffered almost death with my other
two children, but hardly realized that was
sick when this baby was born and she weighed
twelve and one-quarter pounds. She is now
eleven months old and has never known an
hours sickness; eft present she weighs thirty
seven pounds. l owe it all to Dr. Perce S

with the present high prices for

low price for tobacco, the future will

influence to enlighten the farmers and
induce them to act wisely, and not wait
to act until necessity compels them. To-

A Medicine That Will
Cure Cases OF Catarrh
OF Long Standing De-
serves a Very Hig h
Place in the Annals of
Medical Discovery.
Such a Medicine is
Peruna.

THOUSANDS of testimonials are
pouring in every day of old cases
4 of chronic catarrh that have re-
sisted all treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Peruna.
These reports do not all come from
obscure places, signed by obscure peo-
pie. A large proportion of these letters
arc written by men and women promi-
nent in business and professional cir
cles and many of them well known from
ocean to ocean.
Colonel John Franklin Waters occu-
pies prominent position among the
leading trial lawyers of Chicago. He
has probably obtained more verdicts
against corporations in suits for personal
injuries than any man of his age in the
United States, and during his practice
OF over fifteen years he has not lost a
single case in the Supreme Courts of
Illinois and Missouri. He is a hard
worker and has the energy of four men.
For number of years he had been
afflicted with chronic catarrh and hay
ing recently been thoroughly cured of
his old affection, an interview was OBJ
tanned with him by one of our reporters
in which he gave the following state
ment to the public:

DEPOT FOR WINSTON
The Southern Railway Has
Agreed To This.

pleasure to the people of the Twin City,
who have been patient and long suffering.
They complained, because the Southern
Railway would not do as it ought to- do
and in the face of the needs of the peo-
pie. and the revenue which it derived,
dilly- dallied and hung fire on giving to
the people that which was their due.
Their complaint was heard by the Cor
poration Commission, and that body saw
it was q just enc, so a notice was served
on the Southern Railway. 1t was up to
that Company, and it saw it had to yield
so It did so.
1t did not wait for a formal hearing
before the Corporation Commission, for
that would certainly have resulted in an
order for a proper depot to be establish
ed. IT made virtue out of a necessity,
and promised as the petition of the peo-
pie of Winston Salem was before it, to
build a suitable depot.
And so Winston viii get this depot,
and in the game of proper consideration,
viii get its depot before Durham.
But Durham is entitled to a depot also.
It's business demands it. 1t is a sbsane
that it has not had this given it before,
and it's people are aroused on the ques-
ton. The demand has been clear-c cut
and the depot should be built.
The Corporation Commission can have
the Durham depot built. The law gives
that body the power to do this and it
behooves it to do so.
Winston is to get its depot, and Dur
ham should be next on the list. 1t has
every argument in its favor and the
Southern Railway ought to wake up and
deal justly with a city that gives it a
liberal patronage.
