It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the zerras that cause the disease. Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives frm the blood all poisonous matter teks4t- rich and healthy. tVALE'S TONIC is a blood lilder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria lestroyer. ny it. it win noi aisap- point you.

This is not such a bad showing. The total valuation of real estate in -North Carolina as returned tor taxes is $220,303,339, an increase of $32,000,000. Agitate the electric light and waterworks question, now that the election is about over. Nothing was ever accomplished without agitation. A wicked exchange fays that an old maid caught a burglar, adding that some of the women appear to be getting desperate as the leap year advances. Several of the airships at the St. Louis fair have made short but suc cessful trips. In a short while air ships will take the place of automo biles as a mode of travel.

Abraham's wife, Sarah, lived to be 127 years old; Isaac lived to be 180; Ishmael lived to be 137; Jacob lived to be 137; his son, Moses, lived to be 120; Kobatt lived to be 133; his son, Amram, lived to be 137; Aaron was three years older and died somi years before him; Joshua lived to be 110. ' The number of persons reported in 1900 as centenarians and over was:. England, 170; Ireland, 578; Scotland, 46; Sweden, 10; Norway, 33; Belgium, 5; Denmark, 2; Switz erland, none; Spam, 401; Servia, 575; France, 213.

When You Have a Bad Cold .l-jfa want a remedy that will not permanent cure. Too ant .a remedy, that will re lieve the lungs and keep expectora tion easy.
