How DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
And THE FLU.
First Step In Treatment Is u Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, tho New
Nausenless CulOmel.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and in
fuenza can be depended for full
effectiveness until the liver is made
thoroughly active That is why
the first step In the treatment is the
new, nausealess Calomel called Gallo
tabs, which is free from the sickening,
weakening and salivating effects of
the old style calomel. Doctors also
point out the fact that an active
liver goes long way towards pre-
venting influenza, and Is one Of the
most important factors in enabling
the patient to successfully withstand
an attack and ward off pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time, with a swallow of water
that's all, No salts, no nausea, nor
the slightest Interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next
morning your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feel
ing fine, with a hearty appetite for
breakfast. Druggists sell Calotabs
only in Original sealed packages,
price thirty-fiye cents Your money
will be cheerfully refunded if you do
not find them delightful.-adv

Large Fire at Bambcrg.

Bamberg. Feb. 25.---A disastrous
iii in Bamberg tonight completely
destroyed Jones's stables. The fire
started about o'clock and the
flames soon gained considerable
headway. 1t was thought for a
time that a loaded freight train on
the track near by-without an
engine-would catch fire Also but
prompt work on the part Of the reel
and hose company saved the train
It is thought that about sixteen
horses and mules were burned to
death; also a great deal Of feedstuff.
Cotton stored at the stables was
saved, as we'll as a few horses and
mules. The heavy rain helped to
keep the fire down and to confine it
to the stables. The cause has not
been determined.
