PINE BLUFF FEARS
SMALL POX SPREAD.
Pine Bluff, Feb. 1.—Three
cases of small pox were discov
ered in the city last night and
there are now three cases under
treatment at the pest house and
thirty persons have been confined
on suspicion of having been in
the same house with the disease.
The city authorities fear the
spread of the disease among the
negroes, as it seems the cases
>ire well developed and it is im
possible to ascertain how many
persons have come in contact
with it.
CITIZENS APPROVE
PRESIDENT’S CHOICE.
Pleased With Appointment of
Colonel Roach as Post
master at Texarkana.
Texarkana, Feb. 1.—The ap
pointment of Col. Lyman S.
Roach to be postmaster at this
place meets with general approv
al among the patrons of the of
fice, regardless of politics, al
though the president’s action in
naming him was anticipated by
very few.
Roach forwarded his applica
tion to Washington about six
weeks ago. He was without any
organized local political backing,
but had a strong petition signed
by individual business men. He
was a Federal soldier throughout
the Civil war, and made a fine
record in an Ohio regiment.
This is believed to have been the
potent factor in landing him.
There is no doubt that he also
profited largely by the factional
fight between Bickley and Fore
man, candidates on the Arkan
sas side of the town. 1 .e office
has always been rated as dn Ar
kansas asset, and Roach is the
first citizen ever named as post
master.

REMARKABLE CURE OF

'
! Mr. Michael Doran, employed by the
1 American Bridge Co., Youngstown, O.,
writes: “I want to say for the benefit
j of my fellowmen that I have been suf
| ferlng for a long time with acute
Rheumatism in my knees. I had tried
every kind of remedy, including an
expensive course of electrical treat
ment, but all of no avail. One day at
the suggestion of my druggist I took
a bottle of Paracamph to try. The
j effect of its use was magical. I got
relief at once, and after using three
i or four bottles I believe I am perma
nently cured. It is certainly a won
derful remedy, and upon my advice
a number of friends have tried Para
camph, and the verdict is unanimous
that it will do all that is claimed for
It.” Don’t suffer from Rheumatism,
Lumbago, Sore and Stiff Joints. Use
; Paracamph. It has cured others and
will cure you. Your druggist will sell
it to you on a guarantee of satisfaction
or money refunded. No cure, no pay.
! Get a bottle to-day. Trial size 25c;
1 family sizes 60c and $1.00. If you have
I never tried Paracamph we will send you
a trial size free. Write to-day. The

“Soon after I began to take 1
Wine of Cardui I could see that |
I was beginning to get back
my strength.”
That is the comment Mrs. Seymour
makes.
If you are sick you can take Wine of
Cardui and secure health and strength. If
other medicines and other treatment have
failed, that will make no difference. Few
women have taken Wine of Cardui at first.
By far the greater number of Wine of
I Cardui cures are women who could not
Becure relief elsewhere. All druggists sell $ 1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui.
WINE or CARDUI
No. 4§ Straight St., Grand Rapids, Mich. ■
1 am pleased to endorse Wine of Cardui as I found it so beneficial to I
restore my strength after my baby was born. I could not seem to get well i
enough to be up and able to do my work, and as I had been in bed for six ft
weeks this was rather serious, but soon after I began to use Vine of Cardui I ft
could see that I was beginning to get back my strength. In another week 1
I was able to sit up most of the day and in a month I was able to be up and I
do most of my work. I think it is sj /L f . ■ IsA
splendid medicine for a woman and yHm*' vX,. i
^can certainly give it highest praise. nusAsmtaa, womb's naaooa. J
