aui r GAN VOL. III. MORGANTON, N. G., FRIDAY, APRIL. 1, 18S7. NO. 4. Star Sore Eyes The eyes are always in sympathy with the body, and afford an excellent index of its condition. When the eyes becoin weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it is an evidence that the system has become disordered by Scrofula, for which Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best known remedy. Scrofula, which produced a painful in flammation in my eyes, caused me much surfering for a number of years. By the advice of a physician I commenced taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using this medicine a short time I was completely Cured My eyes are now in a. splendid condi tion, and I am as well and strong as ever. Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N II. . For a number of years I was troubled -with a humor in my eyes, and was unable to obtain any relief until I commenced vising Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medi cine has 'effected a complete cure, and I believe it to be the best of blood puri fiers. C. E. Upton, Kashua, N. H. From childhood, and until with a few months, I have been afflicted with Weak and Sore Eyes. I have used for these complaints, with beneficial results, Aj-er's Sarsaparilla, and consider it a pjreat blood purifier. Mrs. C. Phillips, Glover, Vt. I suffered for a year with inflamma tion in my left eye. Three ulcers formed on the ball, depriving me of sight, and causing great pain. After trying many other remedies, to no purpose, I was final ly induced to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla. By Taking three bottles of this medicine I have been entirely cured. My sight has been re stored, and there is no sign of inflamma tion, sore, or ulcer in my eye. Kendal T. Boweu, Sugar Tree Ridge,. Ohio.. My daughter, ten years old, was afflict ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During the last two years she never saw light of any kind. Physicians of the highest standing exerted their skill, but with no Sermanent success. On the recommen ation of a friend I purchased a bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which my daughter commenced taking. Before she had used the third bottle her sight was restored. Her cure is complete.

The cabin had long been the re sort of a pair of panthers. As it stood low to the ground, easy en trance was effected by means of the shutterless window in the back room. The blood-curdling cries that had so often been heard issuing from the cabin by the superstitous moun taineers, had all been made by these animals. For it is a well known fact that they can so clever ly counterfeit the voices of women and children as often to deceive the most xperieuced car. The pool of blood I had discover ed on the previous night was with out doubt caused by the panther's devouring tin that spot the body of some smaller animal a deer, per haps. Their absence from the cabin when we had (irst entered it was attributable to their being oil' after other prey.
