What The Earth Produces.

The earth has nourished US through un.
known ages of human existence. Is II not
true that the earth supplies US with every,
thing that we really require for existence
Have you ever thought that 1t is prooaofe
that the earth supplies us with the means
to keep our bodily vigor, our health II we
only knew i'll The animals know by IN
stinct what is good for thew and will search
until they find in some plant what they
need for correcting indigestion or constiPa-
ton, etc. Is it, therefore, not possible that
there are roots and herbs supplied by nature
which will cure the diseases that aftlict
human kind That Is why DR.. Pierce, OF
Buffalo, N. Y, has such faith IN his med
ical Discovery" Years ago, when he was
in general and active practice, he ioun9
that a combination of certain herbs ana
roots made into an Alternative extract with.
ont the use of alcohol, would always put
the stomach into a healthy condition, nour-
ish the tissues, feed the blood and nerves
and put healthy tone into the whole
system.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di-
gested-Some Stomachs Must
Have Help.

Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di-
gested-Some Stomachs Must
Have Help.
Food taken into the Stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the
condition of the stomach, is not di-
gested, is worse than no food at all
This is a true statement as far as it
goes, and great many dySpeptics go
only this far with their reasoning.
They argue with themselves that be-
cause their stomachs do not do the
work given them, they must be given
less work; in other words, they must
be starved. 1t would be just as sem
sible for a business man who is una
BILE to do all his own work to cut
down his business to his own capacity
as 1t is for man to starVe himself to
relieve his stomach. The sensible bus
mess man employs help and goes for
ward with his business. Likewise the
sensible dyspeptic will employ help
for his stomach and give his body
proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
achs of great portion of digestive
action. Their component parts are
identical with those of the digestive
fluids and secretions of the stomach
and they simply take up the grind
and carry on the work just the same
as a good, strong, healthy stomach
would do it,
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance
in the stomach or bowels. They
themselves digest the food and supply
the system with all the nourishment
contained in what is eaten and carry
out Natures plans for the sustenence
and maintenance of the body.
How much more sensible is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs. BY
this means the body and brain get all
the good, nutritious food they need
and the man is properly nourished
and equipped to carry on his work
and perform his duties. He could not
possibly be in proper working condi-
ton by starving himself or employing
some new tangled, insufficient food
that does not contain enough nutri-
ment for a year-old baby. A strong
man doing strong work must be prop
erly fed, and this applies to the brain
as we'll as the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by re-
lieving the stomach of it's work, en-
able it to recuperate and regain it's
normal health and strength. Nature
repairS the worn and wasted tissues
just as she heals and knits the bone of
| a broken limb, which is of course not
used during the process of repair.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents box,
and they are the one article that the
druggist does not try to sell some
thing in the place of that's Just as
good" Their unqualified merit and
success and the universal demand for
them has placed them within the
reach of every one.

Trusteeship of winthrop College.
Columbia, S. c., Jan. 2S.-Dr. T. A.
Crawford of Rock Hill, one of the first
trustees of Winthrop College, who, on
Thursday last, was elected a member
of the board of trustees Of that in
stitution to succeed Senator B. R. Till
man, has declined the honor in the
following message to Lieut.. Gov. John
T. Sloan:
"The distinguished services of Sena-
tor Tillman to Winthrop College rem
der his continuance on the board a
public necessity. 1 cannot accept the
election in his stead and hereby ten
der my resignation"
The message, it is said, explains the
feeling of the community towards the
college. This action on the part of DR..
Crawford is regarded as more than
liberal, because DR.. Crawford himself
was legislated off the board about
three years ago.

Putnam County Farmers Looking
Ahead for Next Year.

Eatonton, Ga, Jan. 23.-Cotton is
selling in this market as high as 141a
cents per pound. The present high
price of the staple and the probability
of a good price next fall are causing
extensive preparations for big crop
next season. Large numbers of mules
have been bought, guano dealers are
laying in store a good supply of fertil-
izer, and planters are talking as If
every available space will be utilized
to make cotton. The scarcity of negro
labor and the unreliability of the labor
still in the county are the only checks
now to an overwhelming crop, provided
the seasons are propitious.
