Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
Of the so-called patent medicines con
tanning Injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some Journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, 1t has. in a
considerable measure, resulted in the
mosG intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the injurious ingre-
dients complained Of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DIR. Pierce. of Buffalo,
N. Y, took time by the foreock," as it
WERE and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now or KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths Of our American forests and OF
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead OF alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases OF diseases. becomes highly objec-
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimnants, DIR. Pierce EN-
ploys chemically pure. triple refined

remedy in many cases of chronic diseases,

Bessemer. March 12.-(speeia1. 1.-The ses-
sion of the city court today was taken
up by the preliminary trial of Raleigh
Jones, charged with the shooting of Lee
Morrison in this city two weeks ago.
The defendant was bound over to the

that sufficient evidence was not pro-
duced.
The state represented by B. G. Perry,

Attorney Perry announced that. as an
important witness was absent the state

The Efficiency of Buffalo Lithia Water.

Mineral waters, for ages, have been
used for the relief of great variety of
diseases, and the fact that their use has
increased with each succeeding age down
to the present day proves beyond a doubt
that they possess therapeutic properties
of the highest order. The chemical con-
stituents of water are well known, vet
no one thinks of manufacturing water for
any use out of these artifcally COM
bined elements. The chemistry of the
laboratory is very different from the
chemistry of nature. This difference is
strikingly shown in the greater perfec-
ton of natures methods of combining
medicinal substances. 1t is a fact well
known to the medical profession that a
small quantity of the medicinal ingredj-
ents in natural mineral waters produce q
more potent therapeutic effect on disease
than larger quantity of the same ma
terials artificially prepared. Their appli-
cation to any definite disease, or to any
class of diseases, must depend upon the
active medicinal properties of the mineral
water employed. In that large group of
diseases and pathological phenomena
which spring from Uric Acid Diathesls
and diseases of Metabolism, headed by
rheumatism and Govt Buffalo Lthia
Water has proven to be remedy of
merit. 1t is not "A commendable practice
to make unreasonable claims for any
therapeutic agent or special method of
treatment. but this mineral water has
been tested by the profession for thirty
five years, and We have the testimony
of DR.. Alfred i. LOOMS, himself. to the
effect that he has used il in "Bright's

ions are entitled to consideration.

Brick Famine In Decatur.

Decatur, March 12.-(Special. Mot
withstanding the fact that there are two
large brick plants in the Decaturs there
is brick famine here at this time. Con-
tractors say that it is now impossible
to get brick and for this reason much
building is being held back. The scarcity
of brick is due to the fact that so many
brick buildings have been erected in the
Decaturs during the past few months.

Jones was drunk at the time the officer
stated.
Jim Lowery stated that he was present
at the shooting, and that he was struck
in the back by a stray bullet. He testified
that his back was turned, and that he
could not say that he saw Morrison shot

Mr.. Upton, when he was called testi-
fled that he was present at the saloon

the difficulty, he said, Jones left the
saloon, and was away for about thirty
minutes. He stated that he was not look
ing directly at the men when the shots
were fired.
The defense produced no witnesses but
submitted the case on the evidence given.
The court room was filled with spectators
who followed closely the evidence given.
Paint Factory to Be Built.
1t is given out that large paint fac
tory is to be built in the vicinity of Bes
semer. The exact location has not been
settled upon, but it is understood that
it will be somewhere between Bessemer
and Powderly, and between the Louis
Vile and Nashville and the Alabama
Great Southern tracks.
The mills will be built by the Rankin
Tuck Paint company of Birmingham, who
viii sink something like $4,000 in the new
industry.
City Wears Air of Prosperity.
The streets of Bessemer are beginning
to assume an almost metropolitan aspect.
Aside from the usual sights of a busy
city. it is a noticeable fact that the
crowds on the streets are increasing.
On Saturday a great part of the labor
ing population from the neighboring
towns and settlements flock to the city
for the weekend shopping. The sales of
the merchants are large, and the whole
town seems TO reflect the atmosphere of
prosperity.
However, it is not merely on Saturday
that this is observed for it is true in a
lesser degree of the entire week This
afternoon the sidewalks in the business
sections were comfortably crowded and
the pedestrians seeemd to carry the air
of briskness and business which are a
part of the Marvel City.

last year collected more than $4,000

not a single prosecution was had
