Free Sample
For Baby'e Ills
Something can and must be done
for the puny, crying baby, for the
child that refuses to eat and is rest- (
less in its sleep. And since the basis
of all health is the proper working
of the digestive organs, look first to
the condition of the stomach and
bowels.
A child should have two full and free
movenu nts of the bowels a day. This
emptying of the bowels is very important,
as with it comes a clear head, a light
ness of step, good appetite and sound
sleep. But it is equally important to
know what to give the child in the
emergency of constipation and indiges
tion. Cathartics are too strong and salts
and other purgatives are not only* too
strong but the child refuses them be
cause of their bad taste. Have you ever
tried J>r Caldwell's Svrup Pepsin? It is
a li iuid tonic that families have been
using for a quarter of a century. It is
mild, pleasant-tasting and promptly ef
fective. It Is good for you as well as
the child, but there is nothing better to
be found for children. They like its taste
?you will not have to force them to
tako it.
First of nil. If you have not yet used
It. r>r Caldwell would like to send you
a sample bottle free of charge. In this
way you can try It before buying. Later,
when convinced of Its merits, you can
get it of your druggist at fifty cents and
one dollar a bottle. Just as thousands of
other families are doing. The family of
Mr. P W. Spangler of Strsttonvllle. Pa.. '
ns well as that of Mr. A. F. Johnson of
Walnut Grove. Tenn.. started with It In
that way and now write that It Is their .
one family necessity next to food Itself |
If you are unfortunate enough to have a
sickly child, one given to constipation
and indigestion, you should send for a
free sample of this remedv.
Dr. Caldwell personally will be pleased
to give you any medical advice you may
desire for yourself or family pertaining to
the stomach, liver or bowels absolutely
free of charge. Explain your case In a
letter and he will reply to you In detalL
for the free sample simply send your
name and address on a postal card or

Met His Death on Railroad. ( '
Clayton. N. C.. April 6.?Karly Sun
day morning some colored children
while crossing the railroad at the '
crossing between Mr. It. H. Gower's
and Mr. C. P. Kills in West Clayti n, '
discovered a man lying face down
ward on the cross ties of the rail-1
road. They ri ported the matter to (
other parties who upon investigation
fo.ind that the man had been killed
by something striking him on the ^
back of the head supposed to have
been nn enst bound Southern freight
t rain.
Later on others came and he was:
i dentified as ICdfus Chappell, living
near Kbenezer c liur. h in Wake coun-'
ty. Mr. Chapp 11 went to Italeigh
Saturday mornirg and paid his tax-,
us for last year and then came to
Clayton where he remained until late'J
in the afternoon when friends started:
home with him. On the road home
he became angry with his would-be j
friends and bejan to stone them
and to throw rocks at others that he i
passed on the roaJ. Finally he left |1
them saying tliat lie was going back
to Clayton and then to Halt igli, on .
No. Ill west bound Southern train; J
clue about 11 o'clock at night. N'oth- '
lug in iiv wa3 seen of him until dls-j
cov red by the colored children Sun-,
day morning cold in death's em- '
brace. I'
From the position in which he was 1
found It seems that he had sat l '
down on the railroad and went to j
sleep and it is supposed that an
east bound freight train that passed
between ten and eleven o'clock Sat
urday night struck his head and frac
tured the skull which resulted in
death. A half pint bottle was discov
ered in his pocket with only the
dregs left.
I>r. Noble, County Coroner, was
notified and arrived on a freight about
two o'clock and decided at once that
the deceased came to his death by
being hit by a Southern train.
Relatives and friends had arrived
and immediately after the arrival of
the coroner the body was turned over
to J. I. Barnes & Bro., local undertak
ers. and prepared for burial which
took place at the cemetery at Ebene
zer Tuesday afternoon.

The Oldest Newspaper.
Of the many thousands of newspa
pers in the world to-day, the I'ekin
Gazette is probably the mpst ancient.
The I'ekin Gazette is the lineal de
scendant of a daily news bulletin
which made its bow to the public in
the year 1340. In the more than five
centuries of its life this newspaper
has passed through many changes
and appeared in various forms, but
the paper that the Chinese read to
day is literally the same that was
founded in the fourt < nth century. It
was not until European countries had
begun newspaper^ on their own ac
count that it was discovered that in
Pekin the Chinese had superseded
them in the newspaper business by
ninny years.?Ex.

^ The Tenderfoot Farmer
It was one of t'.iese experimental farmers, who put green
spectacles on his cow and fed her shavings. His theory
was that it didn't matter what the cow ate so long as she
was fed. The questions of digestion and nourishment had
not entered into his calculations.
It's only a "tenderfoot" farmer that would try such
an experiment with a cow. But many a farmer feeds him*

grows "weak" the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired
and the man suffers the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness.
To strengthen the stomach, restore the activity of the or*
Hans of digestion and nutrition and brace up the nerves?
use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery? It Is an un?
falling remedy, and has the confidence of physicians as
well as the praise of thousands healed by its use.
In the strictest sense "Golden Medical Discovery" is a temperance medi
cine. It contains neither intoxicants nor narcotics, and is as free from alcohol
as from opium, cocaine and other dangerous drugs. All ingredients printed on
its outside wrapper.
Don't let a dealer delude you for his own profit. There is no medicine for
stomach, liver and blood "just as good" as "Golden Medical Discovery."
