get a medicine of known reliability. one
that has an established reputation and

Such a medicine is Chamberlain cough

this most common ailment, and can al
ways be depended upon. 1t acts on ma
ture s plan, relieves the lungs, aids ex-
pectoration, opens the secretions and

healthy condition. During the MANY
years in which it has been in general
use we have yet to learn of single
case of cold or attack of the grip hav-
ing resulted in pneumonia when this
remedy was used, which shows conclu-
sslvely that it is a certain preventive of
mat dangerous disease. Chamberlain

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is infiam
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and IN
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dltion, hearing will be destroyed forev-
er; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an inflam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh1
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
cure. Send for circulars, free.

SALT AS A PANACEA.
Some of the Many and Varied
Uses to Which it is Put.
Family Doctor.

Family Doctor.
Salt can almost be regarded
as a panacea, so many and varied
are it's uses.
We the told that it cleanses
the palate and furred tongue,
and a gargle of salt and wat
er is often eficacious.
A pinch of salt on the tongue,
followed ten minutes afterWard
by a drink Of cold water, often
cures a sick headache. 1t har-
dens gums, makes teeth white
and sweetens the breath.
Cut flowers may be kept fresh
by adding salt to the water.
Weak ankles should be rubbed
with a solution of salt, water and
alcohol.
Bad colds, hay fever and kin
dred affections may be much re-
lieved by using fine dry. salt like
snuff.
Dyspepsia, heartburn and in
digestion are relieved by a cup of
hot water in which a small spoon
full Of salt has been melted.
Salt and water will sometimes
revive an unconscious person
when hurt if brandies and other
remedies are not at hand. Hem
orrhage from toothpulling is
stopped by filling the mouth with
salt and water.
Weak and tired eyes are
refreshed by bathing with warn
water and salt.
Many public speakers anc
singers use a wash of salt anc
water before and after using the
organs of the throat.
Salt rubbed into the scalp o.
occasionally added to the water
in washing prevents the hail
falling out.
Feathers uncurled by damn
weather are quickly dried by
shaking over a fire in which sal
has been thrown.
Salt should always be eater
with nuts, and a dessert frui
salt should be especially made.

Hearken, my daughter, and be
wise. Work that thou be not

are cunning and his heart is full
of cosy corners.
Verify, l say unto you, it IS
easier to draw forth a secret from
the Sphinx than to draw from
thy husbands chum the secret
Iof thy spouse, where he hath
been the night before and Wheth-

with his stenographer.
Behold a man will lie even un-
to the woman whom he loveth
in order to protect her husband
whom he hateth from her wrath.
Yea, as the glue in the glue
pot do men cling one to another,
but women are as hat held to-
gether with pins-independa-
able.
For no man knoweth what an
other man knoweth about him;
therefore, keep they all silence
in a bond of mutual blackmail.
Oh, daughter, what is this
secret thing they know Of one
another that each man who cares,
seth thee should say unto thee,

The Cotton Argument all in Fa.
vor of Democrats.

It was stated in our Raleigh
correspondence Yesterday that
Democratic State Chairman EIIer
has found that the Republicans
are issuing a circular setting out
that the price of cotton under
Democratic rule was 4 to 5 cents
and under Republican rule 10 to
Is cents, while the Democrats
have shown conclGsively by an
authenticated statement, compil-
ed by Hon. Fred A. Woodland, of
Wilson, that the exact average of
prices for cotton during Cleve-
lands administration was Z ST
cents on the New York market,
while under McKinley's admins
tration it was only 7 1-6 cents on
that market. Touching upon
this subject The Statesville Land
mark of the 18th made the ex-
cellent point that cotton at its
lowest price in the Cleveland ad-
ministration was a better pro.
position than at 8 IL cents, as it
has been under Roosevelt, the
increased cost of labor and other
things counted. On the cottor
argument the Democrats certain
ly have the better of the Repub-
licans.
