little son received a severe blow on bis
head, causing a “rising” or abscess.
After coming to a head it left a run
ning sore which continued almost a
year. We tried everything we could
but it got worse. We finally tried
Paracamph, and after the first appli
cation the neck and shoulder broke out
into mauy little sores. I continued
the use of Paracamph and In just two
weeks the sore was entirely healed and
we have had no trouble since. I give
all the credit to Paracamph as I ouly
used about a half bottle. Paracamph
also cures nervous headache as I have
tried it with splendid results.”

ROGERS SUING
PRIVATE CAR OWNERS
For Back Taxes They Have In
Past Escaped—May Mean
Much Increased Rev
enue.
Little Rock, March 27.—The
inauguration of the suits by At
torney General Robert L. Rogers
against a number of private car
companies for the collection of
back taxes, is attracting a great
deal of attention. All are ex
pressing surprise that no one has
ever before thought of it. The
private car trust is being sued in
many other states, and current
magazines are devoting consid
erable space to it.
Thousands of cars owned by
refrigerator, oil and fruit compa
nies have been operating in the
state for years, tax free, it being
: generally accepted that the cars
were the property of the railroad
companies.
It is probable that the litiga
tion will lead to the appointment
of a special master, to determine
the number of cars used by the
various companies during the last
fifteen or twenty years, and may
add hundreds of thousands to the
tax revenues of the state.
A GOOD SHOW.
“If the crowd that attended
the Eiler Rip Van Winkle show
Saturday evening expecting to
sit through the ordinary per
formance ihat one meets they
were agreeably surprised. The
play itself was staged in a very
creditable way, both in acting
and scenic effects. The orches
tra was a first-class one and ren
dered pleasing numbers during
the play, besides showing skill
in the accompaniments of the
splendid specialty numbers be
tween the acts. The whole show
in fact given by Eiler’s Rip Van
Winkle company was one well
worth seeing and hearing and
was conducted in a clean, gen
tlemanly way by the manager
and his assistants.”—Minot, N.
D., Daily Optic.
Manager Doherty has secured
the above company of twenty
five people for Friday, March
31st, presenting the play made
famous by Joseph Jefferson,
“Rip Van Winkle,” with all spe
cial scenery, six specialty artists,
superb band and orchestra.

j WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
|
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so j
j Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 per bottle.

I had been suffering with irregular, scanty and most painful menstru

Cardui. It proved to be just what I needed. Within two months the '
serious pain had disappeared, my headaches were less frequent and not so
severe and felt very much encouraged, but had to use your medicine for
four months before I was entirely well and regular. I have enjoyed the I
