They Stand Alone.

Standing out in bold relief, dlJ alone, and as conspicuous example of open, frank and honest dealing with the sick and afflicted, are Dr. Pferce's Favorite Prescription for weak, over-worked, de- bilitated, nervous, rundown" pain racked women, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous remedy for weak stomach, indigestion, or dys- pepsia, torpid liver, or biliousnees all catarrhal affections whether of the stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder, nasal passages, throat, bronchia. or other mu- cous passages, also as an effective remedy for all diseases arising from thin, watery or impure blood, as scrofulous and skin affections.
 Each bottle of the above medicines bears upon it's wrapper a badge of hon. ssty in the full list of ingredients com This frank and open publicity places these medicines iil q ctdss dlt by them selres, and is the best guaranty of their merits They cannot be classed as patent nor secret medicines for they are neither -being of. kn0,0r, composition.
 Dr. Pierce feels that he can afford to take the afflicted into his full confidence and lay all the ingredients of his medi- cines freely before them because these Ingredients are such as are endorsed and most strongly praised by scores of the most eminent medical writers as cures for the diseases for which these medi- cines are recommended. Therefore, the afflicted do not have to rely alone upon Dr. Pierce's recommendation as to the curative value of his medicines for cer' tain easily recognized diseases.
 A glance at the printed formula on each bottle will show that ne alcohol and no harmful or habit.forming drugs enter into Dr. Pierce's medicines, they being wholly compounded of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American forest plants. These are best and safest for the cure of most lingering, chronic dis eases. Dr. K. V. Pierce can be consulted FREE, by addressing him at Buffalo, N. r., and all communications are re- garded as sacredly confidential.
 IL Is as easy 10 be well ss i'll -a and much more comfortable. Constipation is the cause of many forms of illness. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipa- tion. They are tiny, sugar-coated gran ules. One littie Pellet is gentle laxa- tive. two mild cathartic. All dealers in medicines sell them.

NOT TO WAIT ON TIDE.
Regular Sailing Hour for Steamers of
 Savannah Line.

Announcement is made from headquar- ters of the Ocean Steamship company that. beginning May 1, the New York and Boston steamers will leave Savannah at o'clock (eastern timel in the afternoon of sailing days regardless of tide. The steamers will be scheduled to reach New York at a. m
 The big steamers of the Savannah line simply ignore the tide. It has been a question discussed for a long time be- tween the captains and others in author which opinion has been divided Many have maintained it perfectly feasible for the steamers to leave the wharf at a stated time without regard to the run ming of the tide
 But after much discussion and the de- velopment of opinion in favor of a regular leaving time, the preponderanee fell upon the side of regular departure and strip ping the tide of it's importance For some time the Boston steamers have sailed at that time, but the Boston steamers are of lighter draft than the New York steamers. The greatly improved cond- ton of the channel, resulting from the work in the river and harbor, gives con- dtion which. in the opinion of the com- petent will undoubtedly take the steam CTS out under load even at low water. In the circular issued upon the subject nothing is said of possible failure and there is entertained no question upon that score.
 w. B. Clements, passenger agent of tho Ocean Steamship line points out the fact that Savannah would be tho only port on the South Atlantic enjoying the possi- blity of an established and invariable time for all steamers.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is IF
 Preserving, Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient dfsin feet ant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more YOU take of 1t the better: 1t Is not drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweeter.s the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables
 Charcoal effectually clears and improve, the complexion, it whltens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other .srmless antiseptics in, tablet form or rather in the form of large. pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of 1t is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use. but on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician In speaking of the benefts of charcoal says: T advise Stu arts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion. and purity the breath, mouth and throat; I also be- lieve the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of, them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box al drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet l believe I get more and better scharcoai in Stuart's Charcoal Log enges than in any of the ordinary chs- coal tablets."
