TABLETS

Completely eliminate the unpleasant fea-
lures formerly connected with the taking
of cod liver oil. They present the vital
principles of the purest Norwegian Cod
Liver Oil condensed in dry tablet form
and made more valuable by the addition
of Licorice and the Hypophosphites of
Lime and Soda. All the good of the oil
is retained and the Objectionable qualities
are eliminated.

taste or odor. They do not affect the APP
petite. They do not interfere in any way
with the digestion of other food and are
themselves very easily digested and as
simulated. They supply the blood with
exactly the proper material it requires to
renew and rebuild worn-out or wasted
tissues.

oil with a far more effective remedial
agent in the treatment of lung troubles,
La Grippe, consumption and ether pull

general debility. loss OF weight, wasting
diseases and other 'run down" condi-
tons, malnutrition and other ailments in
which an increased and enriched supply
of pure blood is absolutely necessary for
permanent cure. Sold in 50c. and 81 90
bottles. II your druggist does not have
them. send your money directly to us

OIL
in an
Easily
Taken
Form

You can secure all the benefits of cod
liver oil without having to endure the
various distre$es which accompany the
taking of the PLAIN oil. The disagreeable
mouth rolling, the constant "tasre of
fish, in the mouth, the rising of gas in
the throat and the upsetting of the stom-
ach which are caused by taking cod liver
oil plain are all entirely unnecessary.

IN SOUTH CAROLINA,
Reports Indicate Most Disastrous
Flood Recorded In the State,

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 26-Reports
received from all sections of the state
indicate that the present flood Is the
most damaging ever recorded in South
Carolina. The flooded area covers
practically the entire state and at
many points the rivers are from two
to six feet higher than ever known, not
excepting the great floods of 1S4S, 1886
aid 1902 The railroads are operating
very few trains. The telegraph and
telephone service is badly crippled and
many places in the state are isolated
More than dozen toll and public
bridges crossing the larger rivers in
the state have been swept away and
at least two steel railroad bridges have
gone down.
The loss of life thus far reported Is
five. 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage to the farming interests
throughout the state but it will run
into the millions. 1t is estimated that
the damage to the cotton crop alone is
10 times greater than the total loss of
property resulting from the great food
of 1903 in this section
The rainfall during the past two
days is the highest ever recorded in
this section, 10 inches of rain having
