A SPECIFIC FOR La Grippe, for Golds, Coughs, AND LUNG TROUBLES, AVER'S PECTORAL "Two years ago, I had the grippe, and it left nie with a cough which gave ane no rest night or day. My family physician prescribed for me, changing the medicine as often as he found the things I had taken were not helping me, but, in spite of his attendance, I got no better. Finally, my husband, read ing one day of a gentleman who had bad the firippe and was cured by taking Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, procured, for me, a bottle of this medicine, and before I had taken half of it, I was cured. I liave used the Pectoral for my children and in my family, whenever we have needed it, and have found it a specific for colds, coughs, and lung troubles." Emily "Wood, North St., Elkton, Md.

COULD J0T SLEEP Lay Awake Night after Night Scratching Until almost Wild. BURNED LIKE FIRE Speedily Cured by CUTICURA REMEDIES I was a sufferer for eight years from that most distressing of all diseases. Eczema, but can now say truthfully that I am entirely cured. I tried some of the best physicians in the country, but they did me little good. TliO' palms of my hands were covered, and would become inflamed; little white blisters at first would appear, then they would peel -olf, leaving a red, smooth surface which wquld burn like tire and itch ; well, there is no name for it. On the inside of the upper part of both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike hives would appear, and as soon as I became warm, the burning and itching would begin. Night after night I would lie awake all night and scratch, and almost go wild. I heard of ' Cuticoba remedies, got a box of Cuticura (ointment), a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent (blood purifier), and gave thein a thorough trial, and after a few applications I noticed the redness and inflammation disappear; be fore I had used one box there tca not a tiff o Eczema left. I can truthfully assert that S2.00 worth of Cuticura Remedies cured mo. Any one I meet who has Eczema, I do not hesitate a moment in recommending your remedies. JOHN D.

A Cordwood Trust. -The low: price xot cordwood ' -in The Dalles this winter has been one of the marked conditions of the season's trade. A rivalry among Boin of our Jeading firms has put the price down to a figure that makes it cheap to keep' warm.. Large quantities of cordwood have been brought up the river and the great erp ply coupled with the fact of the m"'d weather we have been having, made the wood s drag on the market. The beach has been, and is yet, covered to a large extent with wood. The cutters be tween here and the Cascades- have not enjoyed the cut war here, and are mur muring because of decreased return for their labor. They are thinking of imi tating some of the big eastern concerns and forming a trust and by means of it, cause the price to raise. Here is what the Stevenson Pioneer has to eay of tbf project: " We understand there is a movement on foot among the cordwood men aloDg toe river to form a combination for the purpose of putting up the price of wood. This is a step in the right direction, and it seems to be the only way out of the present difficulty. The present price is so low that wood cutters can ecarcely make their grub, and it is foolish for men to wear their lives out at work at which there is no possibility, even with the greatest economy, of getting ahead at all. When a' man works 'hard he should get such compensation for his labor that he can get something ahead in case of sickness. If a man cannot get such compensation be had better rustle for another job. Therefore we say let the cordwood men ali along the middle river combine, and not sell a stick of wood for less than living prices. They have everything in' their own hands if they will only take advantage of the situation. - - How's This. We offer $100 reward for any case of Cattarh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
