HERE is GOOD NEWS
FOR STOMACH VICTIMS.

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleans
ing, soothing and purifying action
upon the lower bowels, removing the
distractions of poisonous fecal matter
and gasses and preventing their alb
sorption by the blood. This done,
the food is allowed free passage from
the stomach, fermentation ceases and
stomach troubles quickly disappear
George H. Mayr, for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist, cured him
self and many of his friends of stom-
ach, liver and intestinal troubles os
years standing by this treatment, and
SO successful was the remedy he devils
de that it has since been placed in the
hands of druggists all over the coun-
try, who have sold thousands of bot
ties.
Though absolutely harmless, the ef-
feet of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one of it's remarkable
effectiveness, and within "a hours the
sufferer feels like a new person.
Mayr's Wonderful stomach Remedy
is now sold here by Justus Pharmacy.

MR. rRENcH ON ADVERTISING.
StatesYiIIe Man Talks to The Retail
Merchants Association:

:
StatesyiIIe Man Talks to The Retail
Merchants Association:
The Durham Herald says the ad-
dress on advertising delivered recent
ly before the North Carolina Retail
Merchants Association by Mr.. George
y French of StatesHlle. was an IN
teresting discussion of one Of the most
ystal and effective selling forces OF
the modern merchant. Following
are extracts from the Herald's report
of Mr.. French's address. which news
paper advertisers will find a profitable
study.
aMr. French told the merchants
that advertising was the one necessity
to the success Of a modern store. He
thought man might just as well take
Down his sign and close his doors as
to try to run successful mercantile
business today without resorting to
the various means of getting his wares
before the eyes of the public and In.
ducing that public to buy his goods
through the right kind of advertising
"Mr. French divided Advertising
into two very general classes Indirect
advertising and direct advertising.
He discussed direct advertising first
or that publicity which is gained
through the newspapers and other me-
diums of this kind. but mainly through
the newspapers.
.sHe told the merchants that great
deal of newspaper space purchased
by North Carolina merchants was
wasted because they did not pay the
proper attention to the advertising
matter that went into the space. Most
of it was written without any thought
and little care. Much of the copy used
was pure junk and would better be
left out Now Mr.. French did not
think it required the services Of an
expert to make newspaper advertising
effective, but just common horse sense.
which the average merchant had, and
little time and attention devoted to.
this, the biggest selling medium at the
disposal of the merchant.
"Mr. French said that if the mer-.
chant would try to sell his goods as
hard through the newspapers, put up
the same kind of arguments in the
newspapers. as he did in his efforts to
make a personal sale, his success
would be great. In writing an adyer-
tisement of any kind Mr.. French
thought it the worst kind of policy to
crowd a great many things into one
small space. 1t was always best to
state one thing, add to it a personal
touch and put little human interest
IN the advertisement and talk about
enc or two propositions in small
space. If larger spaces were used the
speaker said it was possible to talk
about several things which would
come as sub-heads under the general
theme.
"Mr. French urged his hearers to
always adhere to the absolute truth
| in writing their advertisements. The
time has long since passed when it is
possible to make false or misleading
statements in the advertisements and
retain the business or the respect OF
the purchasing public
