A Card From Mrs: Joe Person.
Can Ii be That Most Of the Ills Ct Life
Can Be Cured Through the Blood?

| have confined the recommendation of
my Remedy to troubles that had their
origin in impure blood, or rundown
system, and yet | know it can do far
more.
Five years ago my Remedy cured Mrs
}. S. Thompson, of Hasty, n. c., of a
female trouble and since then she has
used it as a family medicine, and now |
have her testimonial where it carried tw o
of her children safely through an attack
Of typhoid fever.
My Remedy cured a case of kidney
trouble in my own family of six months
standing, after all medical treatment had
failed, and the party was regarded as a
doomed man. Finding that he was
rapidly declining, we tried the Remedy,
and in two weeks a great change was
apparent, and in two months he was
well, and the cure was permanent.
| have known it tried in a well known
family in this State, (whose name | am
at liberty to give) forpuerperal fever, the
patient could not live many hours and it
cured her. The reaction was immediate.
L saw Mr.. Fred Howell, of Goldsboro,
N. c., when he was down with con-
sumption. | saw him again recently, q
well man, after using the Remedy two
years.
| have seen two ladies suffering with
cancer of tt" womb (and know of third)
and lhave seen them perfectly cured, after
having used my Remedy and Wash for
about year.
L have known it to cure a great many
cases of stomach trouble that had failed
to yield to any other treatment. | have
known it to cure four cases of nurse
n11tb Of oil r,oIinoI
had failed
have known the Wash to cure a case
of bladder trouble, when the physician
said an operation alone could reach
it.
In the beginning of my business career
tWenty-One years ago, realizing what a
powerful agency for relief to the afflicted
was in my hands, | went to the medical
fraternity of Raleigh, and invited them
TO investigate my claim that had a spe-
cific for troubles that came from blood
impurity. | invited examination, to the
end that it might be generally used by
the profession, il | could substantiate my
claim. | offeped to accept any number of
test casts that would satisfy them in re-
gard to the merit of my Remedy. and
would cure them free. | only asked them
to agree to watch the result of my Rem
edy, and if | cured every one for them to
agree to acknowledge it publicly. But
this they said would be 'unprofessional'
and an irregular proceeding" and they
therefore O declined, although Il offered
to give them officially my full formula.
This goes to prove the unbounded con-
fidence had in my Remedy in the begin
ming of my work, and it is now establish
ed on a pedestal none can shake.

WHEN it was announced that Gov.
Aycock had pardoned Woody, the
man convicted in GuilfOrd county for
assault on young girl because she
made affidavit that she had at the So
licitation of her father sworn falsely
against the young man. The Hes
SPnger demanded the prosecution of
the girl and her father. We are glad
that one newspaper in the State, at
least, has taken our view of the case
and declares that justice demands
that the father and girl be punished.
The crime for which Woody was con-
v!cted and sent tOthe penitentiary is
held in more adherence by the peo-
pie of the South than any other.
This girl at the instigation of her
father, perhaps to try to save her
reputation, testified against the man
falsely, destroyed his cool name and
deprived him OF his liberty. Right
here the courts should make force
ful example OF the consequences per-
iurers should expect.-Wilmington
Messenger.

Gen. Miles and Jeff Davis.
Charlotte News.

\ correspondent Of the New York
Evening Post says of General Miles:
He is a brave American soldier,
who, as far us the nature OF his call
ing would permit him, has always
stood for humanity and civilization.
He represents the highest type of true
bravery-strength and tenderness,
fearless to the strong, merciful to the
weak"
We have no desire to remember
Gen. Miles sins against him, but in
view OF the fact that he put Jefferson
Davis, eX-President OF the Confeder-
acy, one of the ablest OF all United
States Senators and a brave man, in
irons when he had him in his power
because the latter had been guilty
only OF adhering to Il constitutional
right, which remains to this dav fully
sustained us a fact, the above eulogy
is too undiscriminating in its adjec-
tives.

A NOBLE DEED IS A STEP TOWARD
GOD.

/ count this thing to be prandly true:
That q noble deed is step toward God,
Lifting he soul frOmthe common sod,
To a purer air and broader view.
We rise by the things that are under our
feet.
BY what we have mastered of greed and
gain;
BY the pride deposed and the passion slain;
And the yanquished ills that we hourly meet.
We hope. we aspire, we resolve and trust
When the morning calls ~ to life and hight.
But our feet grow weary. and ere the night,
Our hearts are trailing the sOrdd dust.
We hope, we aspire, we resolve We pray
And we think We mount the air on wings
Beyond tine recall of sensual things,
While our feet still cling to the heavy clay.
Wings for the angels but feet for he men:
We may borrow the wings to find the way.
We may hope and aspire and resolve and
pray,
But our feet must rise or we fall again.
Only in dreams is n ladder thrown
To the weary earth from the sapphire wallis:
But the dream departs and the vision falls,
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow OF stone.
Heaven il moi reached 1T II single bound
But we Guild the ladder by which we rise
From the weary earth to the yautrd
skies;
And we mount to its summit round by
round.
