from a Hew York Lady for
AYER'SPILLS
" I would like to add my testimony to
that of others who have tisetl Ayer's
Pills, and to say that I have taken thtun
for many years, and always derived tho
best results from their use. For stom
ach and liver tronbles, and for the cure
of headache canned ly these derange
ments, Ayer's Pills cannot be equaled.
diiii:
.Wlien my friends ask me what 5s tho
best remedy for disorders of tho stom
ach, liver, or bowels, my invariable
answer is, Ayer's Pills. Taken in sea
son, they will break up a cold, prevent
la grippe, check fever, and regulate the
digestive organs. They are easy to
take, and are, indeed, the best all-round
family medicine I have ever known."

The Fruit Crop.
Washington, Aug. 14. Official re
turns for August show the prospective
fruit crop of the country, taken as a
whole, is much larger than for several
years.
The report of the European agent of
the agricultural department for August
shows fair crops in most countries except
Great Britain. '
It May Do as Much For Yon.
Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111. writes
that he had a Severe Kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in bis
back and also that his bladder was
affected. He tried many so called Kid
ney cures but - without any good result.
About a year ago he began use of Electric
Bitters and found relief at once. Elec
tric Bitters is especially adapted to cure
of all Kidney and Liver troubles and
often gives almost instant relief. One
trail will prove our statement. Price
only 50c. for large bottle. At Suipes-

Fatal Collision.
London, Aug. 14. A special dispatch
from Tunis says a collision has taken
place near Galieta between a number of
barges loaded with iron and a ferryboat
crowded with, people. Some of the lat
ter's passengers were crushed, and
many drowned.
Pains in the email of the back indicate
a diseased condition' of the kidneys.
Owing to the dangerous nature of the
dieases which attack those organs it is
important that measures should be
taken to remove the trouble before it
has become too firmly fixed. Prudence
would suggest the prompt use of Dr. J.
H. McLean's Liver and Kidney Balm
which has specSc action on the liver and
kidneys and will cause an early restora
tion to healthy conditions. Price $1.00
per bottle.
Accident at Kiel.
Kiel, Aug. 14. At the German ship
building yards today a gangway broke
and many workmen were thrown into
the water. Eight bodies have been re
covered. There are a great many of the unfortu
nate ones in this world, greater in num
ber than those who are blessed with
good digestion. To ' some people the
greatest misfortune is not to be able to
eat everything set before tbem. "I suf

everything I ate disagreed with me. I

a little now and then, with, a gentle,
cleansing' laxative, thereby removing of
fending matter, from the stomach and
bowels, toning up and invigorating the
liver and quickening its tardy action,
and you thereby remove the cause of a
multitude of distressing diseases, such as
headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
biliousness, pimples, blotches, eruptions,
boils, constipation, piles, ' fistulas and
maladies too numerous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels, they would have less fre
quent occasion to call for their doctor's
services to subdue attacks of dangerous
diseases.
That, of all known agents to accom
plish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets are unequaled, is proven by the
fact that once used, they are always in
favor. Their secondary effect is to keep
the bowels open and regular, not to fur
ther constipate, as is the case with other
pills. Hence, their great popularity,
with sufferers from habitual constipation,
piles and indigestion.
A free sample of the " Pellets," (4 to 7
doses) on trial, is mailed to any address,
post-paid, on receipt of name and address
on postal card.

There is more Catarrh in this ' section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful.' It acts directly on the blood
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes
timonials. Address.

The Whisky Trust.
Chicago, Aug. 14. Under the author
ity, of Federal Judge Showalter, General
McNulta, receiver of the Distilling &
Cattle Feeding Company, sold the prop
erty of that corporation today to the
reorganization committee for $9,800,000.
The only bid was that of the reorganiza
tion committee. The property consists
of 17 distilling plants.
There comes a time to all of us, when
we feel mean and "out of sorts" and in a
condition to invite disease. It is then
we need such a remedy as Dr. J. H. Mc
Lean's Strengthening Cordial and Blood
Purifier. To persons exhausted by
sickness or overwork its invigorating
influence is surprising, promptly restor
ing health, energy and cheerful spirits.

Kane But Ayer's at the Worlds Fair.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed an exhibit
at the World's Fair, Chicago. Manu
facturers of other sarsaparilla sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule fore
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
World' 9 fair authoritfes in , favor of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla was in effect as fol
lows: "Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a
patent medicine. It does not belong to
the Mst of nostrums. It is here on its
merits.' ' -
