 >LD MAN.
Consumption
•J There is no specific for
consumption. Fresh air, ex
ercise, nourishing food and
Scott's Emulsion will come
pretty near curing it, if there
is anything to build on. Mil
lions of people throughout the
world are living and in good
health on one lung.
From time immemorial the
doctors prescribed cod liver
oil for consumption. Of
course the patient could not
take it in its old form, hence
it did very little good. They
can take
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
and tolerate it for a long
time. There is no oil, not
excepting butter, so easily
digested and absorbed by the
system as cod liver oil in the
form of Scott's Emulsion,
and that is the reason it is so
helpful in consumption where
its use must be continuous,
tj We will send you a
sample free.
Be sure that thi* flk
picture in the form of
a label i» on the wrap
per of every bottle of
hmulsion you buy. (A

A Pleasant Trip.
Germatiton, Jan. 4.
j Mr. Editor :
Will you please allow ine space
' in your valuable paper to give an
I account of a Christmas trip four
j Stokes people took last week.
Miss Maggie Petree. of Ger
| inanton, and Miss Pearl Samuel,
| of Walnut Cove, with T. S. Petree,
of Danbury, and O. N. Petree, of
i Germanton. They left on the 3:28
train for Martinsville, Ya., Thurs
day afternoon and passed through
the flourishing little towns  i
Pine Hall. Madison, Mayodan ami
Stoneville and arrived at Martins
ville about 7 o'clock. They were
met at the station by Miss Myrtle
Samuel, of Martinsville, and Mr.
Oscar Taylor, of Spartanburg, S.
C. Then commenced one con-,
tinuous refund of g>od
times. The home of Mr. P.
W. Stultz is only a! nil o(J yards
from the station, so tli.ey walked
up. They were received by Mis.
Stultz with one of her mist gr-i
--cious smiles. After exchangim/
compliments they were ush vii
into the dining room WIITJ M
bountiful supper wasspn ad. Alter,
supper they had quite a nice time
eating fruits, confectionei ie;. eU .
The next day they took in tlu
city. Martinsville is a very | Vty
town and it seems to be on I"
forward move. A magnificent
stone block is being erected in the i
center of the town. A beautiful
public building in which the post
office is kept is very worthy i
mention. The court house is :
modern building and a credit to j
Henry county. A beautiful (' in
federate monument stands it: tin
square and as we looked at it our
minds were carried back to the
(>o's.
The happy party couldn't remain j
together long. Mr. Taylor was call
ed home. They missed his jovial
company, and while
him up very
was Christmas and they made the
most of it. They watched the Oh!
Year out and welcomed the New'
Year in; merrily saying:
"No sleep till morn when youth I
and pleasure meet.
To chase the glowing hours
with tlying feet."
New Year day dawned bright
and clear, "one of the most beauti
ful it has ever been the writer's
privilege to see and wje left the 1
hospitable home of Mr. Stultz with 1
many regrets: but all good times
must come to an end sooner or
later aud so ours ended. Mr.
editor, and readers we aro not a
Uusscl Snge by any means; we
think a day oil" n. w and then is.

BEWARE OF OINTMENTS
FOR CATARRH THAT CON
TAINS MERCURY.
As mercury will surely destroy
the sense of smell and completely
derange the whole system when
entering it through the mtaous
surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescrip
tions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten
fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., con
tains no mercury, and is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. In buying Hall's Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine.
It is taken internally and made in
