Unindentified Exchange: The press endures- the infliction of deadheadism from the pulpit to the bar and the stage, from corporations, societies and individu­ als. It is requested to give strength to the weak, eyes to the blind, clothes to the naked and bread to the hungry. It is asked to cover np infirmities, hide weakness, wink at quacks, bolster up all dull, sap-headed politicians and flatter the vain. It is Ih short to be all things to all men, and if looks to pay or reward it is denounced as mean and sordid. There is no interest under the whole heavens that is expected to give so much to society without pay or thanks as the local press. Ab Editor1* Life Saved by Chambarlala'a Cough Remedy.

I became alarmed and after giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the result was immediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state,--B.
