Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the TACT as 10 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
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the injurious ingre-
dents complained Of Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, rtook time by the forelock," as it
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has com
pietely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
gre now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, 1t 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
craving for stimulants, DIR. Pierce en-
ploys chemically pure, triple refined
glycerine, which of itself is valuable
remedy in many cases OF chronic diseases,
being a superior demulcent, antiseptic,
antiferment and supporting nutritive.
1t enhances the curative action OF the
Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark and Bloodroot, contained in
sGolden Medical Discovery" In all hron-
chial, throat and lurS affections attended
with severe coughs. As will be seen from
the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover
Coe, Of New York; Bartholow, of Jeffer-
son Medical College, Phila.; Scudder, Of
Cincinnati; Ellingwood, OF Chicago;
Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools OF
practice, the foregoing agents are The
perJJ best ingredients that DIR. Pierce
could have chosen to make up his ia
nous discovery for the cure OF not
only bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions but also of chronic catarrh in all
ita various forms wherever located

TWEEN LIVE AND DEAD WIRE
AND MRS. APPLETON Is BADLY
BURNED IN GADSDEN.

Gadsden, September 24-(special) Mrs.
H. L. Appleton, wife of DR.. Appleton,
happened to most peculiar and painful
accident Sunday evening. While looking
after her horse and buggy in the barn
she caught hold of a wire which was
supposed to be dead. An electric shock
followed throwing her to the ground and
severely burning her hand. An investiga-
ton of the wires later, revealed the fact
that a bird had lighted on the dead wire
aud had pct one foot across on a live
wire, making a connection and transmit
ting 10 volts to the dead wire. The bird
was dead, but was held fast to the two
wires. Mrs. Appleton was discovered in
a few moments by her husband and after
hard work was restored to consciousness.
She is greatly improved today and no
serious results are expected.
The little iS-months-old baby of Mr..
and Mrs. Bernard Pogue was painfully
scalded this morning by some water
which was boiling on a range being over
turned on the little fellow. Medical aid
was quickly summoned and everything
possible was done to relieve the suffer-
ing of the child.
The Etowah county republican Cam
paign committee met Saturday and ar
ranged a list of appointments for the
legislative candidates. Nearly every place
of any Importance in the county will be
visited. The speakers selected are DR..
e. II. Cross, candidate for the state
senate and w. H. Foster and Melvin
Thompson for the legislature. The re-
publicans claim that they have a good
chance to win and will conduct an ag-
gressive campaign.
A change has been made in the rail-
way postoffice routes on the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis railway which
will result in an improvement In the
Gadsden service. 1t has been the custom
heretofore for the clerks handling the
mail between Flora, Tenn and Gadsden
to stop off at Alfalfa they will now
come on to Gadsden, where the mail will
be made up. This mall includes that of
Nashville, Louisville and the north.
Butler Ash, a negro from Alfalfa stole a
horse and rig from a livery stable in
that place Saturday night and after driv-
ing the animal all of Saturday night
left 1t in a private stable here. He was
later arrested and placed in jail. This is
the came negro who stole pig and pre-
scented it to the pastor of his church last
week

BIRMINGHAM JAIL.

Gadsden. September 24.-(Special) 1.-The
preliminary examination of Marion Camp
bell, Lee Lawson, King Lawson, Ingersoil
Upton and @. C. Simmons, charged with
conspiracy to assault officers of the
United States, was commenced at 1913
O'Clock this morning before United States
Commissioner Pickart. The government
was represented by Assistant United
States District Attorney W. II. Standifer
and the defendants by A V. Lee, ST..
The government was frequently inter
rupted by objections for the defense, but
the objections were oyerruled, which
caused a warfare between the opposing
counsel The evidence introduced went
to show that the men were at the train
on the night of September 1S at Mountain
boro and several witnesses testified that
they were armed. L. N. Williams, wit
. ness, testified that he recognized Inger-
not sure as to who the others were. The
defendants testimony before the coroner s
jury was introduced and by their own
statement they acknowledged being at the
train on the night of September 10. On
motion of Assistant United States District
Attorney Standfer, C. C. Simmons was
ordered discharged, as the evidence did
not connect him with the crime.
After lengthy arguments by both sides
Commissioner Pckard held the four de-
PENDANTS in a 5000 bond each to appear
before United States court at Admission;
in default of which they will be confined
in the Birmingham jail. The trial lasted
throughout the day and attracted large
crowd.

Amusing Incident.

The trial of John Isom, a negro of about
8 years, in the city court this afternoon.
was one which provoked much amuse-
ment. The boy was charged with using
obscene language In the presence of wom-
en-. He was frightened so badly that he
was unable to make any defence, and his
attorney pleaded that he was too simple
to be responsible. When the jury rendered
verdict of not guilty. the little negro
took some time to realize 1t. but finally
broke into broad grin which was so
comical as to provoke continued laughter.
