GENERAL MERCHANDISE.

Established many years ago, the

its already extensive patronage, and
is meeting with a well deserved pop
ularity.

of their patrons, their establish
ment will, without doubt, become
one of the largest and most prom
inent mercantile establishments in
this city.
The stock is a substantial one,
containing a varied assortment of
general merchandise, and in order
to introduce their business to the
purchasing public and incidentally
to reduce their large stock to make
room for winter goods, they are
having n cut price sale which has
already shown the people that their
prices are right and the quality of
goods sold the very best.
Several polite and competent
clerks are employed besides the
deliveries which reach every por-
ton of the city, giving prompt and
efficient service.
In groceries they handle a large
assortment of high grade teas, cof-
fees, breakfast foods, canned goods,
fruits, vegetables, high grade flour,
smoked and salt meats, poultry,
fresh eggs, choice butter and cheese,
besides the innumerable list Of arti-
cles that make this first class

bers, etc, are equally complete,
and as the goods are purchased
from the best factories and mark
cts, they are guaranteed TO be
unexcelled in price and quality.
The members of the firm are gen.
tlemen highly respected and prom
inent in business circles ana are
well known in the eity, and we Join

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent phy-
stefan for an obstinate case of eczema,
| resorted to the Cutlcura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
ton and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment. and Gu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
"In July of this year little boy In
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans.
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
Professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place In the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict
ly analysed professional etiquette"
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col
lectively."
Among the things that us best for
the doctor" Is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public In ignorance not only of
what 1t is taking for its ills, but fore
ing call upon the doctor each time
prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague.
You had 1t last year and the year be-
fore, Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
lin Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease.
and so each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him an oppor-
tunity to repeat his prescription--in
Latin, and his fee--in dollars.
II you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions, why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. 1t will be a
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer, but 1t will hardly convince
you,
1t would be good thing for the pub
lie to devise little code Of ethics of
its own ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one of the rules of this
code of ethics to you, the individual.
You call in the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe. or any Of
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in

where you come in, If you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation of that prescription. 1t is
your privilege to know what you are
taking While the doctors code of
ethics may not recognize this right it
is yours Just the same.
With the translated prescription In
your possession you have two distinct
advantages. You know what you are
taking. and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
will be able to tell him what drugs you
