ChamherIain'S Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
cold and grip effecGually and perma>
nently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also certain cure for Group. Whoop.
ing cough is not dangerous when this
remedy is given. 1t contains no opium
or other harmful substance, and may
be given as confidently to baby as an
adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all these facts are taken into
consideration it is not surprising that
people in foreign lands as we'll as at
home esteem this remedy very highly,
and very few are willing to take any
other after having once used it. For

Tuesday afternoon about O'Clock an
unusual occurrence took place at Col.
Frank A. Dillingham's headquarters
at the Bee Hive corner. Inc heao'
Quarters of the cele brated phllanthro'
pist and lecturer were crowded as usu-
al. when one of the sons OF Mrs. James
BRIDGES, wife of the prominent planter
living six miles from Dawson, came
up and called for Colonel Dillingham;.
Mr.. Bridges seemed to be somewhat
excited, and carried in his hand good
sized glass dish, which upon examina-
ton was found to contain an immense
parasite, commonly known as tape
worm, which ne handed over to Colo
mel Dillingham;, with the remark that
one and half bottles of the famous
Plant Juice had relieved his mother OF
that awful thing. In the course OF
the conversation which followed 1t de-
yeloped that Mrs. Bridges had been
suffering for the past several years
with some sort of stomach trouble,
which no physician had been able TO
diagnose. and that her condition had
never improved to any appreciable ex-
tent. Notwithstanding the fact that she
had taken about every kind of medi-
cine that had been recommended 10
her. Last week ner husband persuao-
cd himself to procure bottle OF Dill
Ungham's Plant Juice, and she began
taking it with probably no more hope
of relief than usual. Mrs. Bridges
kept up the treatment, however, ana
on Tuesday at IL O'clock was astonlsh-
ed at the result. Her qualification
and pleasure over the relief she mas
secured can be better imagined than
described, and she wants the world TO
know of the wonderful qualities OF the
remedy that has done so much for her.
Since being relieved of the awful par
asite. which measured thirty'one feet
in length, Mrs. Bridges condition has
rapidIy improved, the miserable
ing feeling has left her stomach ana
she is rapidly rounding INTO the condl-
ton of a healthy and happy woman.
The case OF Mrs. Bridges, like that OF
Mr.. Manse jennings son, has attracted
unusual attention, and has opened the
eyes of the people to the splendid cur

BOX WITH HANDS AND FEET
Burmese Hold Contests Often and
Are Adopts in the Art Of
High-Kicking.

Boxing matches are very pOpu-
lar with the Burmese. They hold
public contests, at which prizes are
offered for competition, and to
which people flock from all the
country round. The form dis
played would, however, scarcely
meet with the appreciation of
British patrons of the noble art OF
self-defense. Every kind of hit is
allowed in the ring, and the com.
batants attack one another with
feet as well as with hands. They
wear no boots or shoes, so kicks
on the shins do not help them
much. They, therefore, take i'm
mense pains to develop the knacl
Of high-kicking, and deal one an
other terrific blows in the face
with their feet. The skill they
show In this peculiar method of ar
tack is really astonishing.
