her Master and who depended humbly
and confidently upon His all-suiiicient
favors and GLADLY ascribed to Him the
praise of all that s.o was enabled to do.
She was baptized on St. Thomas Day,

Today we want to talk to
YOU about "Catarrh cures"

edy that we Know is right-that we can
back up with all our reputation for hon
esty and square-dealing.
And wouldn't you rather buy that kind
of a remedy? Wouldn't you rather hold
us responsible than to hold no one
responsible? We are right here, right
where you can get at us every day in the
week, right where one false move on our
part will bring upon us your condem-
nation, the loss of your friendship, your
patronage, your influence. Can we afford
to tell you anything that you will learn
later is not absolutely true?
Are you not safer in taking our word
for the merits of an article, than you are
to rely on the printed statement of pa
tent medicine manufacturer, whom YOU
never even saw and probably never will2
Common sense most emphatically tells
YOU that we cannot afford to depart one
hairs breadth from the rigid truth.
None of us can deny that there is such
a disease known as "catarrh." Those
who have it, or who have had it, know
that it is one of the hardest diseases to
cure.
Perhaps the worst thing about catarrIi
IS It's prevalence. ALMOST everyone
especially in a climate like ours-has
catarrh in some form or another. That is
what has made the "catarrh cure" busi-
ness so profitable. There are so many
thousands Of cases of the disease and it is
so hard to cure, that the patent medicine
manufacturers have reaped harvest in
preparing remedies that appeal to this
large class of sufferers.
One of the most serious things about
catarrh is that it breaks down the sys-
TEN, so that the sufferer becomes a prey
to other diseases. This fact has led the
proprietors of so many "catarrh cures"
to advertise their remedies as a specific
for almost every disease under the sun.
We have ONE catarrh cure that we
are willing to say to you; 1--WE know
this is all right. Take it home and use it
with the full assurance that if it does not
cure you, you can bring it back to us
and we will promptly refund your
money" That catarrh cure is

During the past few months we have
been publishing what some of our good
friends have called "heart-to-heart talks"
on patent medicines.
That name suits US all right-"heart-
to-heart talks" is just what we have
intended. There can't be anything more
serious to sick man or sick woman
than his ailment and the remedies he or
she takes to cure 1t.
Our talks have been "heart-to-heart."
Every word we have printed has been
written in absolute earnestness and sin
cerity, and judging from what our Gus
toners tell us, we have not been talking
in vain. We are convinced that our
frankness has been appreciated, and that
our suggestions have been welcomed
which naturally ENCOURAGES us to con-
tinue.
To-day, and perhaps for some time to
come, we want to talk about that big
class of remedies known generally as
'catarrh cures"

medicines that have been the chief tar

We sell hundreds-yes, thousands of

SOME SOUND REASONING.

Sundays News and Observer showed
how large crops of cotton have brought
low prices, notably the crops of 1897
1898 and 1894. Then tho following
facts were recited to show the folly of
a big crop for 1906:
l. The worlds visible supply of cot
ton is million bales greater now than
it was year ago.
2. Weekly reports in the United
States are larger than they were this
time last year. 10000 bales more
this week than the corresponding week
last Year,
3. The Egyptian crop is larger than
last year and weekly receipts greater.
4. The Indian crop appears to be
much larger. How much larger no
one can now say, but the weekly re-
ceipts are about twice as large now as
they were this time last year.
5. The guano factories report that
the demands for guano now is the
greatest ever known.
6. The demand for mules is almost
Unprecedented.
7. The winter 80 far has been mild
and open, favorable for WORK.
These facts are beyond dispute.
They show how easy it will be to make
too much cotton, and In that event
they foreshadow the sad tate of the
farmer next fall when the Bears fall
UPON him and devour him in the pit
he himself has dug.
The remedy is in the farmers hands.
Make ONLY A MODERATE CROP.
Reduce so you will have labor enough
to cultivate your crop even if it be a
"g-assy year." Don't 60 so deep in
debt to make big crop that you will
have to sell as soon as you gather your
crop.
Make a moderate crop-make it
cheap. Let it be yours and hold it
until YOU (not somebody else) thinks
best to sell.
