Do Ghost Haunt SWampS?

No, Never. It's foolish to fear a
fancied evil, when there are real and
deadly perils to guard against in
swamps and marshes, bayous, and
lowlands. These are the malaria
germs that cause ague, chills and
fever, weakness, aches in the bones
and muscles and may induce deadly
typhoid. But Electric Bitters de-
stroys and casts out these vicious
germs from the blood. Three bot

Ali the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the bleed. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about SEQ grains Of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part OF
this impure matter is left in the
blood This brings on many dis
eases and symptons-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, not

his life to a dream his wife had Fri
day night When he arose Saturday
morning and got ready to go to his
daily task Mrs. Larue refused to pre-
pare his lunch for him. She did not
want him to work, because she had
dreamed that she saw scores of
miners with their heads blown OF, be-
ing carried out Of the mine entrance
as she and her little children stood at
the mines mouth.
Larue had not missed day from
work for many months, but he was
prevailed upon Saturday to remain
home. Only short time afterward
the explosion occurred.
Briceville, as a mining town, has
had a stormy history. It was the
scene in the early nineties of rioting,
when miners rebelled against working
with convicts leased by the State.
Troops were sent. there to quell the
trouble.
