a Remedy For Neuralgia or
Pain il the Nerves. :

For neuralgia and sciatica Sloan's
Liniment has no equal. 1t has a
powerfully sedative effect on the
nerves -penetrates without rubbing
and gives immediate relief from pain
-quickens the circulation of blood
and gives pleasant sensation of com.
fort and warmth.
"For three years suffered with
neuralgia in the head and jaws,''
writes j. P. Hubbard, of Marietta, s.
c., sand had almost decided to have
three of my teeth pulled, when a
friend recommended me to buy a
twenty -fve-cent bottle of Sloan's
Liniment. I did so and experienced
immediate relief, and I kept on using
it until the neuralgia was entirely
cured. I will never be without a bot
tie of Sloan's Liniment in my house
again. I use it also for insect bites
and sore throat, and I can cheerfully
recommend it to any one who suffers
from any of the ills which I have
mentioned.

Killed himself When
Fiancee spurned Him.

VIM. H. Kersey, the Atlanta lumber
dealer who committed suicide at a
Tampa hotel by taking morphine, was
the son of Mr.. J. w. Kersey of Dillon.
Kersey left letters to his father, to
his business partner, I. D. Campbell,
Atlanta, and to Miss Frances Thinner
man, of Tampa.
When informed of Kersey's suicide,
Miss Zimmerman, a pretty girl of
seventeen, swooned away, and could
not be revived for some time. They
were to have been married several
months ago, but Kersey was hurt in
runaway accident in Atlanta, and
when taken to the hospital asked
friends to write to Miss Zimmerman
and inform her of the accident.
The friends who were entrusted
with the message failed to send the
news to Miss Zimmerman, and when
the wedding day arrived, and Kersey
failed to appear, the girl believed him
false and the engagement was broken
off.
Kersey went to Tampa a few days
ago. but failed to effect reconcilia-
tion. It is supposed that brooding
over this caused the suicide. He
swallowed twenty-five grains of
morphia and lived only a short while
after being found by hotel attaches.
