LETTER FROM SANTA CLAUS Tells Little Folks Where He Gets Christmas Gifts. PRAISES OUR MERCHANTS AND THE CHRISTMAS GOODS HE KINDS IN RALEIGH. READ THIS LETTER TO THE CHILDREN Their Fritnd Old Santa Clause Tel s Thtm Many Things of Interest and Makes Valuable Suggestions for Young and Cld. My Dear Children: Well, I arrived in the city last night and found all asleep, jttsi as 1 expected. 1 have had rather a hard time getting around, and lam awfully tired this morning, but you know 1 have got a whole year now to rest, and I'll he, all right again by next Christmas, and then, if you will all he good children. I 11 bring you all sorts of pretty things when 1 come again. When L arrived in town last night 1 was somewhat bewildered. You know 1 have to be every wh re at the same time. That's pretty hard to do. and you children. 1 know, can't un derstand how I do it. but wait until you get a little bigger, and then I'll tell you all about how 1 do it. You know I don't have to work. 1 rest all the year and only have one duty to perform. au<l that is to go around every Christmas eve night, till up all the little stockings and make till the little children happy. I know you are all happy this morn ing with your pretty toys, your wagons, trains, candies, oranges and other good things, and Mama and Papa are happy, too, because Santa Claus lias made the little ones so happy. It took me a long while this morning to get the smut off my face and the ashes out of my eyes. Some of these chimneys are awful smutty, and in some places I don't be lieve the ashes had neen taken out in three or four days, but that is mama’s fault or the cook's fault, and 1 am not going to blame the children for it. I know you are all thanking good old Santa Claus this morning, and wonder ing where in the world he got all these pretty things. Well. I am going to tell you where 1 got the most of them. I am going to fell you so that if you should happen to want some of them be fore 1 come next Christmas you may know where to find them. When 1 ar rived last night 1 was a little uneasy myself for fear that I would not get enough pretty things for all the child ren. but 1 succeeded after a while, and then 1 didn’t exactly know where all the children lived, but 1 met Mr. Frank Ellington, of Wynne. Ellington and Company, and ho was kind enough to tell me all about how to find the different homes in the city. These hoys. Wynne. Ellington and Company, yon know, are in the real estate business, and what they don't know about where the homes and houses in Raleigh are located, is not worth knowing, even by Santa Clans; and then before I started out I had to fetal my reindeers. 1 remembered that for a dozen or more Christmases I had bought my feed from Messrs. Jones and Powell. I found them still in busi ness, and still selling the host kind of feed for reindeers or any other kind of stock. While the reindeers were eating, I heard bells ringing. 1 thought at first it was a fire, hut I soon found that it was church hells, and that they were ringing for tho children to go to Christmas trees and other Christmas Sunday school ex ercises. I love the little Sunday school children and 1 want them all to go so Sunday school next year and be food children, and then I will remember them again next Christmas. Well, I knew when I heard the church bells ringing that unless I arranged quick for each Sunday school scholar to re ceive a present, some of them would he disappointed, so 1 hurried on and fixed up tilings for them all. By this time my reindeers "had finished eating, so I honked them up and began making the rounds. But about this time I began fuel ing those old rheumatic pains. You know, my little friends, that 1 have to ho out in all kinds of weather, and 1 <’in't keep from catching cold and hav ing rheumatism: but it ‘don't worry me now like it did years ago. Ix'eaus** 1 have found something that will cure it. When 1 was here it year ago I gnl some liheumaeide from The Bohhif Drug Company..and it cured me in :t jiffy; so when 1 fejt those <>l*l rheumatic pains coming back. 1 looked up Hal Bobbitt and got some more Rheumaeide, and now I am as lively as a cricket. At one of the first phtees 1 visited when I started out about midnight I found one of the little children very sick; its Mama and Ihi pa were sitting up nursing it. ami oh. so anxiously watching over if. anil doing everything possible: but 1 saw tin* little child ne«'*l***l some liicdi <-iiic. Tin* drug stoivs and other stores hud closed up. hut I remembered that tin* Hobbit Wynne Drug Company had stop ped shutting up their popular Fayetteville stnv t drug store at any hour, day or night; so 1 s'nt my servant. Aerial, .af ter the medicine, and he was hack with it in .a few moments. Yon can see, children, what a great conveni* me it is to have a drug store in your city keep open ill night ami I commend the I’obbit hr W ynne Drug Company for their thought fulness and enterprise. But while my servant. Aerial, was gone after tin medicine tin* little sick child s Mama fold me that sin* had for hours been suffering with a wretched head ache. Indeed, she had been silting up so much that she was almost worn out. and her poor head was aching terribly. 1 loitl a few bottl s of Mr. J. Iredell Johnson's celebrated Anticephalagine in one of my grips and I knew, of course, that a dose or two of if would cure the CASTORIA For Infants and Ctiildran, The Kind You Have Always Bought good lady's aching head. I gave her a dose and in a few minutes her head was perfectly easy. She thanked me kindly and declared as 1 was leaving ■that hereafter she would always keep a bottle of Auticepnlalgine in the house. At another place 1 found Ihe children's papa very sick. He had ben sick for a week or more, and his good wife and friends were very uneasy about him. lie was indeed dangerously ill, lull he seem ed perfectly composed. Refering b* his extreme illness he told me lhat one of the best things that he had ever done in his life was taking <>ut a policy for *lO.- 000 in tin' Mutual Benefit Life Insur ance Conmpany. "I may. or 1 may not get well, he thought t*> himself,’' hut in any event my dear wife and precious little children will be provided for. He could indeed with perfect confidence re ly upon Ibis solid old company and its popular general agent. Mr. John C. Dr* 1 wry to pay the policy promptly and thus protect his dear ones from poverty and want. But 1 must stop telling you children about these ,serious things and talk this Christmas morning about brighter things. 1 would have all you children, however, who are healthy and happy, remember your little sick or sor rowing friends, during your Christ mas festivities. You know your old friend Santa is the friend of the poor as well as the rich, the grave as well as the gay. I remember them all. and go to see them all. Why. children, you would he surprised to know how many turkeys I have sent to the poor during this Christinas. T bought about all the dressed turkeys that your popular grocer. Mr. Thomas Resend, had left, and Hum 1 bought hundreds of hunches of line celery and cranberries from Mr. Resend, and all you children know that what you buy in tin* shape of edibles from Mr. Resend are the best that can be found anywhere. But I mnsT tell tho little ones about my supper last night. You all think, perhaps, that old Santa Claus lives w ith out eating. Don’t you children believe it. If you had seen me eating at Mr Dick Giereh's restaurant last night you would have thought that 1 was sorely eating enough to last uutil next Christ mas. 1 just loaded up on quail on toast, tenderloin steaks, stewed, fried and raw oysters, wild duck, cold roast turkey, venison, fat goose, chickens cooked in all sorts of ways, hot coffee by the gallon, and a dozen other good things in the sumo proportion. Don't you believe that Santa Claus don't eat anything, especial ly when he gets to 1 tick Giersch's res taurant in Raleigh. On leaving Giersch’s 1 remembered that l had promised my self that I would give a number of good lit tie boys a suit of clothes each for Christmas; so 1 stepped into Cross and Linehan’s and bought a number of suits. They keep the kind of children's clothes that l like, and men's clothes too, for that matter, and then they sell them so cheap, and I bought her*' also dozens of tli*' prettiest neckties I ev< r saw for my young gentlemen friends. I like to trade with John Cross ami Will Line ban Ilocalise they are such clever fel lows and keep such an extensive stock. Coming out of Cross iN Linohan's 1 looked across the street and saw that magnificent store ol' Sherwood Higgs and Company. I go all over the country you know, children, and into all tho big cities, hut there are mighty few places where 1 have found as pretty a holiday store as this groat Higgs' store, w ith its flashing Christmas tr«\ s. dancing Holts hand of music and great apartments crowded with everything imaginable for old folks and young folks. You ought to have seen me. children, when 1 came out of Digs.* I was simply loaded down with wagons and trains and drums ami hors s and innumerable other things, ami I found there, t*s>, hundreds of use ful presents for your big sisters and brothers and for mamas and papas, too. I shall remember Sherwood Higgs and Company when 1 come again next Christmas, and I would advise you to remember them all along during the year. Os course you children know whose candy you are feasting on this morn ing. I have Iteen in this business so long that I know' just where to go to get the best of everything. I have been for thirty years getting Royster’s Candy for m.v little friends and I have never been deceived by my friend Royster yet. There are many kinds of candy, you know, children, but there are few people in this or any other country that make such candy as Royster. I find that the little folks and the big folks, too. not only in Raleigh, but all over the State, prefer Royster's Candy to any other and desiring to please them. 1 always l>uy my candy from Royster. And talking about shoes. You know, children;. I wcjtr out a good many shoes climbing over roofs and chimneys, and besides I find it necessary to give nice pairs of shoes - to many of my friends, both grown folks and little folks, as Christmas presents. I have no trouble along this line in Raleigh. I know it is a rather hard thing to get shoes that will suit all right and fit all right, hilt I don’t have any trouble of this kind ji t Mr. S. C. Pool's popular shoe store in Raleigh. Here I can find shoes to fit or suit anybody, and then Mr. Pool sells them at such, low prices considering their quality. I do not find in till my ram bles ji more complete shoe store or a more clever • management than sit S. C. Pool's. I tell you Raleigh children that you ought to be proud of your city anyhow. It is ji line place and your merchants are so full of energy and enterprise that even your old friend Santa Claus can buy abundantly of almost anything that man's genius has invented and manufac tured. Your merchants are splendid specimens of industrial energy and in tegrity and 1 like them all. I want t*> tell yon something about the extensive china and glassware estab lishment owned and managed by Mr. W. 11. Hughes. Mr. Hughes is every body’s friend. He is your mamma's and papa's friend <»r he would not strive so hard to please them and keep so many hundreds of useful things for the household. 1 bought many of those beautiful lamps that 1 distributed this Ghristmas among my huly friends from Mr. Hughes. I find no more attractive stock of crockery, glassware, china and other glass and china specialties of ev ery imaginable design than 1 find jit the establishment <>f W. 11. Hughes in Ral eigli. I find, too, that Mr. Hughes’ long years of experience has equipped him for buying and selling at bargain prices. lie knows what to buy and how to buy it for the least money ami Bears the Si *T re THE STEWS AND OBSERVES, DEC. ‘25, 1898. tlicn he is content with a fair profit -1 notice in going the rounds last night that there were many house* without musical instruments and a number of them, too, that I know are fully able to have a good piano or a good organ. There is nothing that pleases your old friend Santa Claus more than to hear the echoes of a sweet toned piano as I go about the lions*' filling up llic chil dren's stockings. I know men who spend enough money in a year f° r cigars and other non-essentials to hay their good wives or daughters a nice piano, and what a pleasure it would he. And pianos and organs are so much cheaper than they use to be. I was surprised to find how cheap real first class instruments could be bought irom my friends. Darnel! *V Thomas. This is not the first Christmas 1 have visited this popular music house.' hut every time I com*' I find prettier, sweeter in struments and at cheaper prices. My advice to you children is that you in sist on your Rapa going to see Dar nell A Thomas and buying a piano or an organ unless you have one already. Now 1 am going to quarrel with mamma and papa just a little bit more. 1 saw a. number of houses with the walls dingy and real unsightly. You just tell papa that Santa Claus don't want to see these dingy walls next Christmas. Why, if 1 had not been in such a hurry I should have gone to see Mr. L. C. Weathers of the Raleigh Wall Raper Company. bought some of his pretty paper and papered some of these dingy walls myself. It tines make a home look so much more ch**erfnl to have real nicely papered walls and Mr. Weathers sells paper and puts it on the walls at such reasonable prices that anybody who has a home can afford to have tin* walls papered and thereby make it more attractive and cheerful Watch tin 1 walls, children, and if they become dingy and dirty make'papa see Mr. Weathers and have him fix them up. And now let’s talk a moment about 11**1*** hobby horses, velocipedes, wagons, those pretty picture hooks and inter esting games. Where did l get them did you ask? Why, at J. D. Riggan’s, of course. 1 just wont to tell you something about that Riggan store. It is a perfect holiday hippodrome of every thing calculated to please tin* children every day in the year. Mr. Riggan keeps such an immense stock of toys, games, picture hooks, china, silver and other novelties that I find it to my in terest to get them from him not only for my little Raleigh friends, but for my little friends all over the State. My friend Riggan sells Christinas goods all the year round and 1 think we might call him the Toy Man of the times. He. like your Uncle Santa Chius, is in the ehildron-pleasing business, except that 1 come around only once a year and Riggan is with you every day in tin* year, and what you buy from him is cheap enough, for he is an honest, conscientious business man. Now a word about fruits. I used to know our friend Dughi over in Italy arid he was there just what lie is here— a godd. clover, whole-soul fellow, and h*' knew how to select the best fruit almost as well as lie does now. \on children all know Dughi. and you know how hard he works to please Jiis patrons not only in Raleigh, but till over the State. I have heard of his fine spreads on wedding and other elite occasions’ in, our different towns and cities and 1 fthf prepared to believe till the good things I hear about Raleigh's enterprising fruitier and caterer. I bought basketful after basketfull of Dugin's fruits and confections for my friends young and old. You children are enjoying these fruits this morning and you owe thanks to Mr. Dughi as well as to your old friend Santa. Your people will feast on chocolate anil eocoanut cakes. fruit cukrs mince pies and other good thing# for dinuer today. While you eat and enjoy your Christum# repast remember that a large portion of the ingredients with which the cook and your mammas made these goodies came from the popular grocery store ol' .1. It. Ferrnll & Co. There are few good things in the way of family and fancy groceries that these gentle men do not keep. 1 have watched them for lo these many years, and 1 know that they are finst-class grocers and what ever cither Mr. Ferrall or Major Hill tells you. you can rely on. Let me toll you little folks about my friend#, the Uoyal & Borden Furniture Company. 1 don’t see liow I could get along without an establishment of this kind. There ace so many mu inns and grand-mamas who really need good easy rocking chairs and articles of home com fort, 1 would have a harder time pro viding for all of them, but for such es tablishments as the ltoyal & Borden Company, their mammoth concern, at the corner of Hargett and Wilmington streets 1 make one of my headquarters. When 1 am weary I can just, go into ibis store, take a scat in one of those easy cushion chairs and rest, while I select all kinds of first-class chairs, lounge#, wardrobes and other kinds of furniture, and I find here, my young friends. Miles Goodwin and Palmer .lerman. both clever and genial fellows who know just what they are doing when they are buy ing and selling furniture. There is still another Raleigh estab lishment, my dear little friends, in which old Santa Claus always feels at home. I like good big store houses and good big stocks of pretty things to select front, and then I like to see fifteen or twenty handsome young men and beau tiful young ladies all busy waiting on customers. .\II these things l find in the Ladies dry goods store of which m.v loyal and patriotic friend. A. B. Stronach is the owner, and my clever young friend. Tims. A. Partin, is the new manager. This store is just about twice as big as if was when I was here last Christmas, and it is one of the busiest places 1 have found in all my rambles, but 1 am not surprised at that, for if there is a real natural born mer chant# in these parts it is my friend Alex Stronach. lie is a mercantile genius and deserves the great success that is coming to'him. And the other Stnmaehs. the popular grocery firm of \V. C. Stronach &. Sons. Well, this concern and your old friend Santa Claus have been dealing together for these many years. I am especially fond of the energetic and jovial of this firm, and those three boys were always pets of mine. Many of the tables front which my friends will feast to-day are loaded with good things trout this popular store, ami I have noticed this, that whenever l fail to find any thing in the way of family supplies or fancy groceries elsewhere, l can g<> to the store of AY. C. Stronach & Sons and almost iiivariably find it. take care of I these clever Stronaeh's children. Until f come again. And then yon know 1 had to call on my young friend Jacob S. Allen,; Jr., the hustling young hardware denier. When T was here it year ago lie had juct started in business, and this time when 1 went around to select some stoves, heaters and other things for some of my lady friends. I found hint buying them by the ear load and selling them nl regu lar knock-out bargains. He is one of the .voting merchants that I expect to see making a big success of his already l*optdar establishment. Os course 1 could not pass the Bur wntiger corner without going in and buy ing it big supply of neckties, gloves, silk handkerchiefs ami suits of clothing. This popular establishment gets bigger and bigger, il seems to me as the Christ mas's coine and go. You know hoys old Santa Claus has to buy a large number of gnvis and ammu nition for the boys, and perhaps you would like I<> know where he gets them. Well, I'll tell you. I have long since learned that one of the best places to Imy such things as these is tin* old reliable house of Titos. H. Briggs A Sons. What you get here you can rely on. Coming on iloAvti Fayetteville street, I remembered that I must go in and see my friends, the Whiting hoys. I have Ih-cii trading with them for these many years and J can make my dollars go as fur tit the store of Whiting Bros, as I can at any store I visit. Then 1 had to have some Byeieles for a number of my young friends and some sewing machines for my married holy friends. I found them in large quanti ties tit Irby A Youngs, and the prices charged weVe low enough. 1 remembered that a number of my young gentlemen friends in tin* country wanted new buggies for Christmas presents. I found them at the store of J. W. Barber A Sons, the prettiest bug gies you ever saw. and at. the lowest prices. 1 bought a number of them and distributed them around among my young gentlemen friends. 1 found in my rounds hist Christmas it largo number of homes that were cold, very cold, so I made up my mind that I would sim* that they were comfortable this winter. 1 knew that the Hagey heater was a heat producer and a fuel saver, so U loaded up on heaters anil other useful articles sit the Hardware house of tin* Julius Lewis* Hardware Company. This. I think, is about the atMh Christmas that I have traded with this hoiise. and 1 have never yet had a complaint to make. 1 found our friend. W. E. Jones, of the big store closing out one of the m£,st varied and extensive stocks of goods f have seen in these parts, and himself and his little army of salespeople were ever lastingly making them hustle. Mr. Jones Wits selling out preparatory to moving in to some other-building where I expect to find him next Christmas doing the same rushing business. Then* are many other good folks and ttiee things 1 would like to tell you chil dren about, but l am weary, you know, am! must get a little rest. Be good chil dren till I come again tud always remem ber vottr old friend. SANTA CLAUS. OVERMAN FOR SPEAKER. To the Editor: As an old tar-heel I take great inter est: in the affairs of my alma mater. I did not come to Texas to live, but rath er to die, and I may say with Goldsmith that when 1 removed I “dragged a-length ening chain.” I note in your grund pa lter. to whose exertions must he attri buted. in a great measure, your great political triumph, that several names have been suggested for t.lu* next speaker ship of the House. I know almost all. Allow m»* to suggest that there should he no hesitation in tin* choice —there are not merely one or two qualities necessary to the proper discharge of the functions of speaker, but many. Fine personal appearance. amiability, a thorough knowledge, enhanced by exercise of those inactions; excellent health; a dear re sounding voice and hist, though no* least, impartiality. Now, Leo S. Over man posses all of these qualifiefations in dominant degrees. Judge Connor ought, of course, to lie made chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Respectfully. W. 11. BAILEY. Sr. Houston, Texas. CLERK IN THE LEGISLATURE. To the Members of the General As sembly: We take this opportunity to ask your consideration of the name of Mr. T. A. Carpenter, of Graham county, as an ap plicant for engrossing clerk or enrolling clerk, or some similar position, in the next Legislature. He Ims been clerk of the Superior court of our county for the past six years, and did flu* business to tin* satis faction of the court and the people. He has been a life-long Democrat, and an active worker in his party. He had the misfortune to lose all he had by tire on the loth of last August; no insurance. He has a large family, which are de pendent upon him. He is in every way competent and worthy, and we respectfully ask that he he given a good paying clerkship in the next General Assembly. J.

ABOUT POLITICS AND POLITICIANS While the next Legislature is making much needed reforms it will do well to tak<* off that unjust burden, from the public school teachers in the way of pay ing for certificates. To pay one dollar ami a half out of a salary of fifty dol lars is a burden and we hope that the Legislature which meets soon will in its amendments of the public school law take that burden off of the teacher's shoulders.—Mouroe Euquirer. Tin* Wilkesboro Chronicle says that si more capable chief clerk of the House could not he selected than Mr. Frank D. Ilnekctt. Mr. T. J. Wood, of Randolph, a broth er of Rev. F. 11. Wood. D. D., and Col. W. I*. Wood, is ii candidate for door keeper of the House. .V correspondent of the* Asheboro Courier says of him: “Hi* is active, quick and well qualified for tin* place. lle is one of the old sol diers who shouldered his musket under the first call and went to the front where lie remained during the four years of the conflict, surrendering with Gen. Lee at Appomattox. He was stationed at Evansport on the Potomac during the winter of '*>.“> in charge of heavy artil lery. He it was who tired tin* first and only shot from bis battery into the ene my's boat which was attempting to run the blockade, but his shot set fire to the boat and its cargo was captured. He was a brave soldier and did his whole duty. From all accounts the State peniten tiary must be in it bad way. Tin* State Treasurer has loaned it large sums of money from tin* State treasury, and it is said to owe.mercantile firms consid erable amounts of money for clothing and other supplies. The fusion manage ment of this institution Inis been full of scandals and very extravagant. The new legislature should address itself early in the session to penitentiary af fairs. and it should not rest from its labors until the gang now in control has and decent men have again been put in charge. We do not know that he will accept it. but the needs of the State de mand that Hon. Augustus Leazar, of Iredell, should again he put in charge of the State’s most important public institution. Under his former adminis tration the penitentiary, which had long been ji burden to the tax-payers of the State, was made to pay its own way. The Legislature should olmtygo the law, turn out Mowborne and elect Mr. Leazar. The election should be with such unanimity that he will feel it his duty to accept tin* trust—-Statesville Mascot. The Snow Ilill Standard of last week says: “Green county Democrats pre sent the name of C’apt. Swift Galloway as one of the Gode Commissioners who are to be chosen by the Legislature of ISlfl). (’apt. Galloway is a lawyer of eminent ability, pains-taking ami learn ed: he is most especially qualified for such arduous and careful work, lie was a brave and gallant defender of Southern rights and carries with him a wound received in liis country's cause. II«* is a Democrat who has ever boon ready to work anil sacrifice his time and means for the principles and suc cess of Ii its party. He is entitled to any honor and emolument both by rea son of his ability and and deserts." One of the most successful insurance men in the State, in a private letter, says: “In regard to insurance matters before tho next Legislature. 1 feel that we ought to have an Insurance Commis sioner. The insurance business in this State has grown to such proportions that tin* needs of the people and the require ments of the business demands State supervision. The good companies desire State inspection and supervision, and only tho inferior companies oppose it. This of itself is a strong argument in support of a State Department. The appointment of Insurance Commissioner will not cotit the State anything extra, but will, in my opinion, save money to the State. The companies are now pay ing the fees to the Secretary of State about S4,(M)O per annum. .$3,000 a year would easily run the insurance depart ment; the additional fees could be cov ered into the State Treasury, besides with a department to look especially af ter the insurance business, the fees and revenue from the Insurance companies would naturally be increased. The in surance companies are now paying an enourmous tax, 1 1 per cent on gross in comes, besides a license tax and fees. This, as you will see, is a very heavy tax, and 1 don't think it would be wise to increase this tax, because by doing so. you would probably drive some com panies out of the State and might injure, if not destroy, ’the hen which lays the golden egg.’ 1 think the Insurance Com missioner should be elected by the Legis lature soon after they meet. He should b<* jut hottest, practical, energetic insur ance man; one who is thoroughly ac quainted with the business, who has honest convictions and who will stand by th** rights of the people under any jiitd all circumstances, and at the same time treat the companies with justice and equity. Let him get to work at once and get up a set of laws to govern the department and to control the insur ance business iu the State. 1 believe that such a move would result in great good to our people jttnl would help the insurance business and everybody in terested.’’ SPAIN’S GREATEST NEED.

It began eating and in four months I was treated by a physician of Talladega County, Ata., where I lived. He relieved it for a short while. In six weeks it broke out again in both logs, also on my shoulder. Two small bones were taken out. It continued until 1876. In this time I had twelve different phy sicians. They told me the only remedy was amputation; that it could never he cured. Fot six months I could not walk a stop. I went to Mineral Wells, Texas, spent $300; came home; went to Hot Springs, Ark., staid nine months—all failed to cure me. In 1887 I came hack to Birmingham, Ala. 1 was advised to write you, which I did. You wrote me that B. B. B. would cure me. I bought ten bottles and before I had finished my fifth bottle my legs began to heal, and in le*-s than two months I was sound and well. That has been nearly two years ago, and no sign of its return .vet. I have spent in cash over .S4OO and B. B. B. did the work that all the rest failed "to do. I have traveled so much trying to get well that my cure is well known. Many doctors have treated me in the last seventeen years. All they did was to take what money I had, and did me no good. I am now a well man. PROF. C. H. RANGER, 4 Shady Dale, Ga. Why is it Botanic Blood Bilim *B. B. B.) cures when all else fails?
