Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very much
OVerdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient too, can do much better at
home by proper attention TO food di-
gestion and a regular use of German
Syrup. Free expectoration in the morn
ing is made certain by German Syrup,
so is a good nights rest and the absence
of that weakening cough and debilitat-
ing night sweat. Restless nights and
the exhaustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread of the con-
sumptive, can be prevented or stopped
by taking German Syrup literally and
regularly. Should you be able to go to
a warmer CLINE, you will find that Of
the thousands of consumptives there,
the few who are benefited and regain
strength are those who use German
Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c; regular size,
75c. Sandoz the Druggist.

The Oyster Industry of Louisiana.

y We have recently received from Mr..
/ John DymOnd, Jr., attorney of the
H Oyster Commission of Louisiana, a
pamphlet, prepared by him, giving a
very careful study Of the oyster in-
dustry.
suitable for oyster cultivation, are the
property of the State and are rented by
the State for the purpose of oyster Gull
tivation, it behooves us all to seriously
consider what legislation may be nee
essary to increase the area leased, aud
by increased production develop the
oyster industry, as each additional acre
rented means an annual increase in the
revenue of the State.
There are between five and six mil
lion acres of water bottom which could
be rented, and yet, after eighteen years
experience under our present and pre-
yious oyster laws, less than 5000 acres,
or less than one-tenth of one per cent
of tho total area, is under lease. The
oyster crop Of Louisiana, amounting to
half a million barrels last year., could
have easily been produced on a 5000
acre oyster farm under cultivation. In
Louisiana an oyster grows about three
times as rapidly as it does anywhere
else, owing TO the warmth of our water
and tire great food supply available.
Mr.. Dym0nd suggests that our laws
in the past have been calculated to Le9:
tard the development Of the 0ystsSEem-
dusty, as nothing bsALa156r a
be employed, and not over 30 acres of
bottom can be leased by any one per-
son, firm or corporation and be put un-
der cultivation, and when we consider
the small area taken by the oyster fish
ermen and the immense area lying idle,
and the fact that the State is being de-
prived of IL positive revenue by the
operation of tl& law, the necessity for
a change is readily apparent.
Possessing the natural a~dvantagesf
that we do, we should be able to away 7

why this should not Ndone.
The Oyster Commission e4aLonisiana,
after studying the industrETor the past
;w0 years, will submit t9Four Legisla-
;ure an oyster bill, and1we, therefore,
recommend TO the Legislature Il serious
consideration of the Rill prepared by
he Oyster Commission, as it will re-
lect aud embody all the advantages of
tudy given to the subject by that body.
Mr.. Dym0nd believes, in the next ten
'ears. it intelligent legislation is en-
Lcted, that the revenue to be derived by

state from the necessity of levying her

From the Chaplin. S. c.. News" Early
in the spring my wife and I were taken
with diarrhoea, and so severe were the
pains that we called a physician who
prescribed for US, but his medicines
failed to give any relief. A friend who
had a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand
gave each of us a dose, and we at once
felt the effects. l procured a bottle and
before using the entire contents we
were entirely cured. It is a wonderful
