KING COTTON.
What It Means For America.

- the old days before the war, cotton
was King, aid the cotton crop
~ was Of the greatest Importance to
the United States. Our vast wheat
and corn growing states were then in
their infancy. Cotton is again coming
e to the front, and its Importance to Amer
lean industry is vastly greater than some
years back, and just as the people and
elements of pur national strength, so has
cotton became great factor III our t%a ia.
tional prosperity. One large speculator
made the price of cotton higher!in 1898,
and fortunately the growers Of cotton
reaped some Of the benefit Of the higher
prices before their crop was out Of their
hands. The value Of the crop to the
southern planters, was about six hundred
millions Of dollars, which was about
one-third more than the South has re-
ceiyed for its cotton III former years.
Never before in the history Of the cotton
trade.have the southern, planters realized
such high prices for their cotton. The
southern people-strong, brave and CHI
valrous-bear very important part in
our national strength. Just as cotton
bears such an important part in our ia:
tional prosperity,so are the people OF
the South great factor in our strength
as Nation. n.
The southern people Sare, as rule
hardy and strong. They have more
than their share Of the sunshine, and
modern medical science is proving every
day that sunshine has a great deal to do
with our health. The disease-carrying
germs are germs of darkness; they Turk
In dark corners Of buildings. Sunshine
as rule Kills these germs, but thereSare
drawbacks to life in the South. The
warm climate is enervating, the stomach
suffers from indigestion, the whole sys-
TEN lacks good, rich red blood which,
produces energy and force. TO supply
this good blood and to get rid OF the
8poisons in the system, we know OF moth
ing so good as an alternative extract
Of roots and herbs prescribed forty
years ago by DR.. r. Y. Pierce, in !. his ri $
large practice. He is chief medical
director OF the Invalids Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Of Buffalo, n. =.
This herbal extract was finally put
I'D BY him in such form that It could
be easily procured at all stores where
medicines are sold. Made without the
use of particle of alcohol or any mar.
cotic, DR.. Pierce's Golden medical DIS
covery has enjoyed larger sales IN the
past thirty-eight years than any other
extract forrthe making OF rich clean
blood. It's Alternative effect on the body
completely removes all poisons clog
cling the system and it then goes to work
IN the right way, assisting the stomach
to absorb from the blood just the ele.
ments required for forming rich red
blood. This pure blood in TIME feeds
the heart and the other organs Of the
body on the proper nourishment they
require to be vigorous aud healthy.
