SPECiALiSTS-WiLL BE AT
SUWANEE HOTEL WEDNES-
DAY MARCH 10Th, FOR
ONE DAY ONLY
Grand Opportunity again offered
People of Cordee and Vicinity
to Consult Experienced
Specialists.

Word has just been received that
the Associated Doctors, registered
by the the State of Georgia, and who
have met with such phenomenal sue
cess with their new system treat
ment of chronic disease cases in Cor
dele and southern Georgia, will again
visit Cordele on Wednesday, March
Goth, and will be located at the SUI
vance Hotel from 8 a. m. to p. m.
This will indeed be good news to those
who found it impossible to call when
the specialists were here before, as
weel as for those who received the
benefit of their services and advice
No man or woman-rich or poor
white or colored-should fail to take
advantage of this opportunity, as it
will likely be the last time the spe-
cialists will offer their services and
advice absolutely free medicines ex-
cepted).
The Associated Doctors is an or
gannization of reputable regular ply
sicians, who believe that the com
bined skill of several trained special
lists in chronic disease cases, can ac-
complish more than one doctor alone
in other words-in unity there is
strength.
When you or a member of your
family is sick with an acute disease,
such as pneumonia, diphtheria, ty-
phOid fever, etc. your family physi
clan is the one to call, as these are
diseases for the family doctor, but
when you have piles, Kidney and Blad
der Troubles, Discharges, Heart Pal
pitation, Bed Wetting. Blood Poison
Skin Eruptions, Rheumatism, Uric
Acid Poisoning, Paralysis, Nervous
Troubles, Losses and Wastes of all
kinds, Neuralgia, Catarrh, Asthma,
Bronchitis. Pleurisy, TumOrs, Hot
FLAKES, Acute Indigestion, Constipa-
ton, Gall Stones Ovarian and Female
Troubles, Enlarged glands or any re-
flex conditions of the nervous sys-
tenn, you want to consult doctor who
has made special study of just such
diseases.
Be sure to read what the Rev. FIet-
cher, of Camilla, says about The AS
ISOLATED Doctors in the Dispatch on
Sunday next.
Special diseases of men and women
given special attention.
Diseases of men treated by late and
scientific methods.
The Doctors opinion will cost you
nothing. and he will tell you frankly
what he can do for you
Married women must be accompan-
led by their husbands and children by
their parents.
Consultation and examination free,
Remember the hotel day and date.

News From Our
Boys in Service

FROM WALTER TRAUERNICHT
Somewhere in France, Oct. IL, 1918.
Dear Mother and Father:
think by the time you receive this
letter Kaiser Bill will be ready to &C.
cept any peace terms he has chance
to, for we have been feeding him lead
bullets and shrapnel on all front
lines as fast as possible and have a
lot left.
have been over the top twice
since you heard from me last. 1t is
certainly a sensation that one will
always remember. / had some mar
row escapes but was lucky enough to
go through them and am in the best
of health and feeling great. The
coolies are little. troublesome. They
don't bite me like they do most of the
boys, but can feel them crawling on
me at times.
We are now in a French barracks
resting for few days, but are going
to an American rest camp in a few
days to be there for the winter, from
what / have heard, and don't think we
will go to the front lines any more;
that is, if the war is over within the
next three months. l would like to
write more but haven't had the chance,
for we have been camping in the
woods or somewhere that we could
not write. But from now on, hope
to have a chance to write more often,
and expect to be there to tell you
about it all before many months. We
have been moving so much that l
haven't got any mail yet, but will get
some in week or so, think. / have
plenty of clothing and feel comforta-
BILE all the time. am anxious to hea,
how everybody is and how George is
getting along in the Navy. | haven't
had chance to write anyone. This
is the third letter / have written to
you, and one to my lady friend in St.
Louis. | hope to write to the rest
later. / am lucky to get this paper
here and the time to write.
Tell everybody hello for me and
don't worry about me, for the war is
going to end in a very short time.
Will close and write again soon. With
lots of love. WALTER.

FROM LOWELL l., TURLEY

Somewhere in France,
Oct. z, 1918.
Dear Dcd: Your letter of Sept. 18th
and 18th and Mammals of Sept. 3rd
and 18th received during the past two
or three days. 1t is certainly nice to
get mail over here for now that we are
on the front, it is about our only
source Of pleasure.
Of course, ! haven't had Sunday
since / have been up here because you
know the Huns do not stop fighting on
Sunday and attend church. o.,
This is certainly beautiful country
around here, but it will be mighty
cold during winter. l hope we will
move before we get showed in so that
we can get up on more active front
We have been here quite long
enough TO get use to the excitement of
war, even though it has not been par
ticularly active from a military stand
point. You have probably read sever
al articles in magazines and newspa-
pers about the fighting in this section,
but ! will have to wait till the end be-
fore can tell you where / am located
and just what am doing. s>a
Although this is the cleanest, most
sanitary part of France that | have
seen, still it is not overlooking with
wealth. The peasant farmers all have
their fields and plots enclosed with
stone and earthen fences. They no
not raise grain as it does not have time
to mature. Most of the valleys are
covered with beautiful meadows.
which resemble lawns in large city.
Potatoes and vegetables grow in
abundance. Irish potatoes are be-
ing dug now. The natives cut all of
their hay by hand (scythe) due to the
fact that it is too hflly for machinery.
They rake it up by hand, tie it up in
large square cloths and carry it home
in wLeelbarrows, en- carts, small wag-
ons and very often on their shoulders.
The home, tie stable, the pig pen,
the lay loft and everything else is ali
in one building. One room will be &C.
cppied by horses and COWS and the
next by the family. The filth certain
ly does seem strange and unbearable.

FROM LUTHER HAMPTON

Somewhere in France, Oct. Ia, 1918.
My Dear Brother:
Will drop you line or two to let
you know / am still living, but I'm
wounded-not seriously but bad
enough TO be back in the hospital, and,
believe me, am living like a white
man for the first time since | have
been over here. By tict, l am eating
good and sleeping between white
sheets. There sure is lot of differ
ence between that kind of sleeping and
sleeping in shell hole while Jerry is
sending over all kinds of shells and
machine gun bullets. Just imagine
yourself lying out on the battlefield
trying to sleep with the roar Of shots
and shells bursting, and hearing the
means and cries of tie wounded and
dying. feel as though / am lucky,
as l am not wounded seriously. 1t
was on the 28th Of Sept, we were
playing the game Of running the
Dutch when one Of their machine guns
failed to run. / thought l would
show him how to run it, when Sip,
one of his bullets caught me in the
right arm, splitting my thumb and
entering my arm at the wrist and
coming out at the elbow.
When this happened | walked about
four miles through shell fire and gas
bombardment, helping all the wounded
! could, before l could get my arm
bandaged up. ! then took an ambu-
lance and don't know low far | came.
Anyway, | am out of hearing of the
big guns for a while. All l want now
is to get well so / can go back and
get revenge, and, bless the Dear Lord,
when that time comes, l will sure get
it back on them. Tell everybody hello
for me, and do not worry for | think
/ will be out again soon.
Will close for this time. With love
to all. LUTHER.

we will try to ship a limited

your retail customers quantities
not more than three (3) dozen

WHAT WE ASK THE RETAIL
DRUGGIST TO DO
Buy in as small quantities as pos
sible. If you have any quantity or
ders, given the jobbers' statesmen or
given to our statesmen, don't bother
about them-no need to write us--it is
absolutely impossible to fill these or
ders at this time. If the jobbers in
your territory are out of Vick's Vapo-
Rub, we will ship you by Parcel Post,
prepaid, quantities not more than
three 90 dozen 3Oc. size in any one
order. Naturally, we can't open &C.
counts at this time, so your check or
money order for this amount must ac-
company order. Don't write US stat
ing to ship thru your jobber. as we
then have to wait until we write this
Jobber and get his o. X. If you wish
the goods to come thru your jobber,
have him order them for you.

THE PROBLEM NOW is TO DIS.
TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY

Most of this tremendous quantity is
still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both longest
ed nowadays, and it may be some
time before this supply reaches the
jobbers. In the meantime, therefore
it is necessary that we distribute, as
widely as possible, the stock that we
are manufacturing daily, together
with that now on the jobbers' and re-
tailers' shelves, in order that it may
get to the Influenza districts quickly.
Our normal output is about 1000 doz-
