From South Africa. New Way Of
Using Chamberlain'S Cough
Remedy

Mr.. Arthur Chapman writing
from Durham, Natal, South Afri-
ca, says: "As a proof that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is a
cure suitable for old and young,
I pen you the following: A neigh
Der of mine had a child just over
two months old. It had a very
bad cough and the parents did
not know what to give it. I sug-
gested that if they would get a
bottle of Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy and put some upon the
dummy teat the baby was suck
ing it would no doubt cure the
child. This they did and brought
about a quick relief and cured
the baby" This remedy is for
sale by Barker's Drug store.

The first lesson that the young girl has
OF wonanhood is usually a painful one.
She learns to know what headache means,
and backacbe, and sometimes is sadly
borne down by this new experience of life.
All the pain and misery which young
girls commonly experience at such time
may, in almost every instance, be entirely
prevented or cured by the use of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t estab-
fishes regularity. 1t tones up the general
health, and cures headache, backache,
nervousness and other consequences of
womanly weakness or disease.
The anxious mother of the family often
times carries the whole burden of response
bility so far as the home medication of
common ailments of the girls or boys are
concerned. The cost of the doctors visits
is very often much too great. At such
times the mother is invited to write to DR..
r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. ", for medical
advice, which is given free. Correspond
ence is held strictly confidential.
Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro-
lapsus, or Failing of Womb, which they
cannot cure. All the Worlds Dispensary

EAT LETTUCE DAILY.
Then You viii BE In No Danger of
Catching Smallpox.

Lettuce is an absolute preventive OF
smallpox. No one Is in the least par
ticle of danger of catching smallpox
who eats little lettuce every day.
Smallpox belongs to the scorbutic
class of diseases. Sailors at sea, de-
prived of fresh vegetables, get scurvy.
Scurvy is q typical scorbutic disease.
Smallpox Is another. Smallpox always
RACES during the winter season, when
the poor people are deprived of fresh
vegetable foods
Celery and onions are good for this
purpose but there Is such long inter
val between their being gathered and
being eaten that they lose most Of
their antiscorbutic properties. Lettuc
is served shortly after it is picked
and hence contains the valuable prop
critics which will prevent smallpox.
We say without the least hesitatio''
or reserve that lettuce will proven
smallpox. 1t is a thousand times be
ter than vaccination. 1t has no liabi
tiles, like vaccination to produce Othp'
diseases. We are willing to stake ou'
professional reputation on the broG'
statement that any one who eats lC
tuce daily will not catch smallpox
whether he be vaccinated or not
