SEVEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD LET
PATENT MEDICINES ALONE.
1. There may be"a'ny one of a hundred
things the matter with you. You can't tell
Which trouble you have.
2. " There are a hundred different concoc
tions advertised. , You can't tell which one
you need. This again is guess work mere
guess work when life and health are in the
balance.
3. - In either case, if you guess wrong, pos
itive injury is done; for any medicinetrong
enough to do good work when needed will do
barm when not needed.
4. A remedy useful In one stage of a dis
ease may be positively injurious at some
other stage of that disease. With the patent
medicine there is no discrimination.
6. Because you get well after using a cer
tain preparation, is no reason you get well
because of it. When you are sick there are
fifty chances to one that you will get well
anyhow, and If you take a patent medicine,
the chances are that you recover in spite of
taking it, and not because, of taking it.
6. The recuperatlvo powers in the body
the natural tendency to throw off -disease,
re-adjust our physical machinery, and get
things back In good order these are your
greatest helps in getting well again, and a
drug which Is nof'needed by your system
hinders and checks these recuperative pow
ers and If you uBe patent medicine, there
are a hundred chances -to one that you will
get a drug that is not needed for your par
ticular malady and your particular stage of
that malady.
7. Right living will make it unnecessary
to drug yourself except at very rare inter
vals, but If you do. get sick enough to really
need treatment, better try a Negro conjure
doctor than take a concoction of drugs pre
pared by a man who probably has no medl
caLtraining, has never seen you, knows nothing-of
your case, and whose mixture-has
ninety-nine chances of missing you to one
of hitting. The Negro conjure doctor will
at least do you no harm; the patent medi
cine almost certainty will.

' BEWARE OF CHEAP PAPERS.
' It is not the cost of the" paper (the highest
price is nothing), but it is the time wasted
in reading matter of no value that deter
mines the aetual price of a paper. Besides,
these papers, getting less than the cost of
the white paper out of their subscribers, are
obliged to 'take almost any kind of adver
tising that Is offered, and hence lead the
reader, if he reads them .at all, into foolish
Investments. - It Is ,only the paper that
charges a good price and requires each sub
scriber to pay his share that can afford , to
turn down fake, deceptive and immoral-advertisements.

V 1 ; WANT BUZZARDS KILLED. " v
We "want to .see . the Legislature meet and
enact a law empowering-the killing of the
buzzard, for In 'one place near -the slaughter
pen of the beef market of this town we truly
believe every buzzard for miles around has
congregated, and the filthy things' are a
menace .to the health of the community.

13,677,000 Bales!
: Government estimators have set
' up new record-figures for this year's
.cotton crop. v
Whether or not the actual crop
falls 'long" or "short" of these
; figures depends largely upon the
kind of fertilizer used. Thorough
bred seed and fertilization with .
of Soda :
grow the highest grade'lint and
the largest number of bales.
Fertilizer which is ."100 fertil
izer" will produce more bales per
acre than a fertilizer which is only
"60 fertilizerV and 40 waste
Nitrate of Soda is a 100 active
fertilizer.
Our book, ."Cultivation of Cotton,"
has started many a cotton grower on
the. road to real successful cotton
cultivation. . . ?
