Sickness in
 Montgomery

More Cases of Illness This Sprinea
 Than fin Former Years.
 An open Winter. such as the one just passed. always leaves more sick ness than usual in the Spring, as the stomach Is overloaded with Winter food that is not needed.
 Physicians and druggists say there are more cases of illness in Montgom- cry this Spring than in former years. Perhaps there Is not so much serious sickness. but Spring languor. loss Of appetite. headaches. sleeplessness. backaches, weakness and debility. in- digestion, and other ills that result from indigestion or an ovsrworkea stomach, are more common than they have been for some years past
 This has resulted in an unusual demand for ma stomach tablets at E. G. Fowier's. Before he felt that he could recommend this remedy. he tested 1t rigidly in many cases of heartburn. Indigestion, wind on the stomach, debility. and other troubles that result from a weakened diges- tion. with the greatest success.
 In fact. Mi-o-na has been so uni- fornlv successful in curing all stom- ach troubles that F. c. Fowler gives a signed guarantee with every 50 cent box to refund the money if 1t does not cure.
 Take one little tablet before each meal for a few days. and you win soon regain perfect health and strength. and lose all fear of indigestion or stomach troubles. Ask E. G.. Fowler to show YOU the guarantee under which they sell this remedy
 If not convenient to obtain Mi-o-na of Mir. Fowler or some other retaileE 1t will be sent 6y mail postage prepaid rrhS~SS O.. &ooth, sno..s,I Ithaca.y zz--..

Oringin of "The Levant."

LOnd0n OhfOHIcIe. '.
 Nowadays ''The Levant" means solely that Eastern Mediterranean region upon which Lord Charles Beresford has been keeping his eye during this trouble with tho sultan But 1t really signifies the East tn a general sense--the region of the rising sun. In fact-being derived from the FrencN saeverV 10 rise By "the High Levant" Bacon meant the Far East. In the eigh- feenth century Chambers's Encyclopaedia explained that "Levant'' applied to any country to the eastward of one. and tn this sense Evelyn wrote of more LevanttnA narts than Italy" 'Levant." indeed was interchanseabls with Orient" just as "Po-- nent' was with "occident."
