READ IT THROUGH 'Twould Spoil Thin Story to Tell It In the Ueicd lines. To nse an eighteenth centnry -phrase, t his is an "o'er true tale." Having hap­ pened in a small Virginian town in the winter of 1902, it is a story very much of the present. Up to a short time ago .Mrs. John E. Harmon, of Melfa Station, Va., had no personal knowledge of the rare curative properties of Chamber­ lain's Cough Remedy. "Last January" she says, "my baby took a dreadful cold and ^t one lime I f nred she would have pneumonia, but one of my neigh­ bors told me how this remedy had enred her little boy and I l>egan giving it to my baby at once and it soon cured her. I heartily thank the manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for plac­ ing so great a enre within my reach. I cannot recommend it .too highly or say too much in its favor. I hope all* who read this will try it and be convinced as I was." For sale by all druggists. QUARTER OF A CENTURY. M Clipped from March 80, 1879. Peter Leickem and wife met with a severe accident-one day last week-by being thrown from their bnggy, be­ tween here and Volp. Fortunately Mrs. Leickem escaped with a few slight bruises, but Leickem was not so fortu­ nate, receiving an ugly cut on the wide of the head which knocked him sense- lees. They may consider themselves fortunate that he was not killed. A certain man hit his toe against a pebble and fell headlong to the ground. He was vexed, and under the influence of anger and selt'-sufficiedcy he kicked mother earth right saucily. With im­ perturbable gravity he looked to see the earth itself dissolved and come to naught. But the earth remained in the encounter. This is the way of man An^article in a newspaper touches him in a v^ea^spot, and forthwith he sends out to stoplTi^paper. With great com­ placency he looks to see the crash, when he finds he has only hit his own toe against a world that does not perpetual­ ly feel the shoek, and injures no one but himself. . * _ While we are experiencing the full rigors of an unusually cold, blnstering March, it may be of interest to know that within a day's, ride of us snow­ banks have departed and ethereal mildness reigns. We have this week to record another sudden' death in this village. Denniib Hennessy. who resides west of the rail­ road, died Saturday. Cold* Caime Pneninbirl One of the most remarkable cases of a cold, deep seated on the lnngs, caus­ ing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, ^nd , who was en tirel.v cured by the use of Oneu. Minnte Cough Cure. She says: "The cough­ ing and straining so weakened tnfe~ that I ran down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds. I tri<id a number of remedies to no avail nntil I tried One Minute Congh Cure. Four bottles of this won­ derful remedy cured me entirely of the cough, strengthened my lnngs and re­ stored me to my normal weight, health and strength." Sold by all druggists. HOIXOMBVIILE.

Strengthen"the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest ~ v The time to treat consump­ tion is wheft you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't Don't wait until you can't, deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be Setter for the treatment. If it is consump­ tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat* ment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment We will send you a little of the Emul­ sion free.
