AN OLD BOOK
Excellent Specimen of Book Binder's
Art Produced in Asheboro Many
Years Ago.
Mr. Sam Alldridge, Randleman, Rt.
1, has kindly sent the editor of The
Courier a copy of Swaim's "North
Carolina Executor," a book prepared
by Benjamin Swaim, a lawyer and
founder of the Greensboro Patriot,
and printed in the office of the South
ern Citizen, Asheborough, N. C, 1841.
The book contains, 'The statutes and
common law of this State, together
with the decisions of the Supreme
Court, and all the necessary forms
and precedents" for the use of execu
tors and administrators; and was, no
doubt, a most useful work in its day.
The copy sent to The Courier editor
is an excellent product of the book
binder's art, being well-made and
neatly, substantially bound in leath
er. The printing is also good; and
though printed und bound in the vil
lage of Asheboi'ou;;h, 74 years ago,
the work of the book would do credit
to a modern office having all the up-to-date
improvements.
EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE I
Calomel is Quicksiler and Acts Like
Dynamite on Your Liver.
Calomel loses you a dayl You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous.lt crashes
into sour bile like dynamite, cramping
ana sickening you. uaiomel attacks
the bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con
stipated and all knocked out and be
lieve you need a dose of dangerous cal
omel, lust remember that your drug
gist sells for fifty cents a large bottle
of Dodson's Liver lone, which is en
tirely vegetable and pleasant to take
and is a perfect substitute for calo
mel. It is guaranteed to start your
liver without stirring you up inside,
and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day's
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ens you up and you feel great. Give
it to the children because it is perfect
ly harmless and doesnt gripe.
