Davidson for several years. and he speaks of him as a fine musician. MT. Davidson was leader of the orchestra at the Montgomery theater
 MT. Thomas, the organist at the South Highlands Presbyterian church, will give a series of recitals this season. He is recognized as the foremost organ sololst in the south. and one of the compara- lively few performers In the United States who has the pedal technique to play all the modern organ music.

During the evening there will be a re- ception for the purpose of giving the people of Birmingham opportunity of meeting MT. Damn Peterson, the bari tone singer who recently came from New York to take charge of the vocal department of the Conservatory.

TYPHOID GERMS.

The microscope shows that iu the blood of every person suffering from typhoid the little germs can be found as shown above. They are supposed to get into the water or milk we drink. The germs multiply so that one germ IS capable Of producing ty-four hours. That is why If they ever get into the water supply of a town they multiply so fast that nearly everybody drinking the water comes down with inc disease. There are exceptions, however, and they are the persons whose health is perfect, whose blood is pure, and liver active. When the germs get into healthy body they are thrown of with the other poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show that ne-eighth of all the deaths in the past two years in that city have resulted from pneumonia.
 The best advice we can give is to put the body into a perfectly sound healthy condi-l ton. Be assured that you have rich, red, blood and an active liver.
 Many years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, who isl consulting surgeon to the Invaltds' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y.,l found certain herbs and rooA which, when. made into an alterative extract (without, best means of putting the stomach, bloodl and vital organs into proper condition.
 This seemed to him as close to nature 's way of treating disease as if was possible to go. For over third of century Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has had a wonderful sale and the cures resulting from its use are numbered by thousards. It is tissue builder. better than cod liver oil because 1t does not sicken the stomach, or offend the taste. It strengthens or renews the assimilative or digestive pro cesses in the stomach and puts on healthy flesh when the weight of the invalid is reduced below the normal.
 Accept no substitute for ~Colden Med ical Discovery" Nothing else is "just as good"
