•* Castorla Is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told mo of its
good effect upon iheir children."
Da. O. C. Osoood,
Lowell, Moss.
Castorla Is the bent remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
Interest of their children, and use Castorla in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
Agents down their throats, thereby sending
(hem to premature graves."

*' Our physicians in the children’s depart*
ment have spoken highly of their experi

and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known os regular
products, yet we ore free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it.”

PRIVATE MEDICAL DISPENSARY.
Steiner Bank Building, corner First ave
nue and 21st Street, Birmingham, Ala.
The oldest, best equipped and most
cessful in the South.
Office Hours—8:30 a. m. to 12 m., 1:30 to
5:30 p. m.
A Specialist treats only a special or particular class or diseases, i nave tne distinction
of being the only physician In the South controlling sufficient practice In Private Dis
eases to devote my whole time to their cure.
This dally contact for year after year with such troubles gives experience. Experience
Is essential to success.
My Medical Dispensary was established In the city of Birmingham August 3, 18S7, for
the exclusive cure of Private Diseases. Privacy Is one of Its special features. It is so
arranged that one patient never necessarily sees another. People who have social rela
tions to sustain appreciate this. The very best of people are often unfortunate and
dislike to consult their family physicians through feelings of delicacy. To them I
offer a safe, sure cure and perfect privacy.
SYPHILIS—Many physicians claim that thlf disease cannot be cured—that is, en
tirely eradicated from the system. I am willing to contract with any responsible person
on the basis of no cure no pay. This Is the way I guarantee cures.
GONORRHOEA—If you have Gonorrhoea, Gleet. Lucorrhoea, Whites or any
other troublesome discharge that fails to get well under ordinary treatment, come or
write to me. If I fall to cure you I don’t want your money.
URETHRAL STRICTURE cured on the same terms. The treatment Is painless. I
perform all manner of surgical operations pertaining to my specialty, and through the
Influence of anesthetics cause no pain. This is a boon to the uflllcted.
There are many complications following Private Diseases, such as Bad Blood, Skin,
Bladder and Womb Troubles, Ulcers. Pimples, Blotches, Sore Mouth, etc., all of which
quickly get well when the cause Is removed.
I wish to call special attention to my treatment of unfortunates suffering from the
effects of Early Imprudence, Errors of Youth, Loss of Vitality, Loss of Manhood, Sex
ual Debtlitv. or anv of the maddening effects. Get well and be a man. Enjoy life as
you should! Thousands of men and youths are occupying subordinate positions in life
today who. If they were able to exercise their brain power to Its fullest capacity, would
Instead be leaders. . . .... - .
In a majority of cases I can cure my patients by mall treatment. I can furnish med
icines from’mv Dispensary, or os 1 am a Regular Licensed Physician, I can write them
prescriptions. If they prefer that they can have them prepared by their home druggist.
If you live In or near the city, call at my Private Dispensary. If at a distance, write
me your trouble. My book on Private Diseases and proper question lists will be sent
°n ADVERTISING—A Specialist should advertise. His patients are scattered over a
large extent of territory, and it Is right and proper for him to use the help of the news
papers to let them know where they ran get the relief they desire.
Newspaper Reputations.
I have received many complimentary notices from various papers, and I have had a
few of them printed In my advertisements, but wishing to exclude everything that might
possibly deceive anyone. I have omitted them. They are deceptive. They read as If
they were personal endorsements of one’s character or ability, but they are not. The
editor In many Instances does not even know you. They are given either in considera
tion of a liberal contract for advertising or for cash direct at so much per line. You
can buv them and have all you wish to pay for. You can have them say just what you
please, then you can put them in your regular advertisement, as they arc your prop
erty. Stop and think a moment. Did you ever see one about a doctor that did not ad
vertise? Ask the editor of any paper If the above is not the truth, pure and simple.

THINGS DRAMATIC.
Commencing next Monday, and for two
nights, the distinguished actor, Mr.
James O’Neill, will play an engagement
at O’Brien's opera house. It Is almost
unnecessary to say a word in tribute to
this artist, for Mr. O’Neill has been be
fore the public for almost a quarter of a
century, and has immortalized the char
acter of Edmond Dantes in "Monte Cris
to." However, he will not open with
Dumas’ masterpiece, which has been re
served for the second evening, but will
favor the public of this city with his
great presentation of Sheridan Knowles'
sublime tragedy, "Vttglnius,” in whlfch
he has scored an immense success. Few,
if any, tragedians are said to possess the
virile strength, paternal tenderness and
wonderful power that Mr. O’Neill puts in
to his creation of the famous role. New
scenery and rich costumes will be used
in both productions, and the company
seen with Mr. O'Neill is said to comprise
the elite of legitimate actors and ac
tresses. Fifty people will be on the stage
during the performance of "Virginius."
Both plays will be mounted in a magnifi
cent manner.
Mr. O'Neill’s performance of “Virgin
ius’’ has been one of this and last sea
son’s banner events. Although the public
for the last twenty years has recognized
the dramatic treasure it possessed in this
popular actor, it is doubtful If any of his
great interpretations—that of "Monte
Cristo” included—has left such a deem
Impression upon his audiences as his
grand portrayal of this classical Roman
hero. In fact, Mr. O'Neill is said to be
the "noblest Roman of them all," com
bining Edward Forrest’s virile strength
with John McCullough’s infinite tender
ness The public may convince itself
of the truth of this statement by going
to O’Brien’s Monday night, when “Vir
ginius” will be played. “Monte Cristo”
wiirfollow on Tuesday night.
Mr. O’Neill’s inspired performance of
Dumas’ hero is as familiar to all theater
goers as Joe Jefferson’s ' Rip \ an " in
kle." Its charm is everlasting.
A Prominent Minister.
Rev T. R. Kendall, pastor Grace M. E.

pleasure in testifying to the great virtue
of King's Royal Germetuer in relieving

ordeal through which my family passed
from this oppressive affliction, I found
Germetuer to be an immediate Bpecifld.

'j A TRIANGULAR TIGHT
On for the Chairmanship of the State Repub
lican Executive Committee.
The fight for the chairmanship of the
■3ttate republican executive committee
has assumed a triangular shape, and will
'So doubt prove a very Interesting one.
,s ft hasi been known for some time that
Jr. R. A. Moseley, the present chairman,
wciuld be opposed by Mr. William
Vaughan of this city, but until within
the last few days It was not known: that
a third candidate would shy his castor
into Ihe ring.
The fight has been going on for some
time between the Reed and McKinley
forces. Dr. Moseley being a supporter of
the former and Mr. Vaughan of the lat
ter. Bach side was anxious to control
\he delegation to the national republican
convention, and to that end the partisans
of Dr. Moseley and Mr. Vaughan were
very acttve in urging the claims of each.
The third candidate is a Montgomery
negro, and he has Issued the following
circular letter:
State of Alabama, Office of Republican
Executive Committee of Montgomery
County.
Montgomery, Dec. 18.
To the Republicans of the State of Alabama
—Greeting:
The great campaign for 1S98 is now on.
The last election marked a new epoch in
our national government. The great Is
sue now Is to bring forth for the people
and party illustrious leaders with genius
for public and party interest, by which
will result a republican form of govern
ment in Alabama and place a republican
president of the United States.
After carefully surveying the situation
of politics In this state and looking for
ward with much hope of the great good
our party can accomplish in the future,
also being urged by a majority of the re
publicans and newspapers throughout
the state to make the race for chairman
of the state executive committee, I here
by announce myself a candidate for that
exalted and responsible position. If
elected I will cheerfully perform the
wishes of the g. o. p. Therefore, I earn
estly solicit the support of all loyal re
publicans of Alabama. Yours,
JOHN C. LEFTWICH.

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARB FORMED.
The New York Tribune says: "The habit of
taking ‘ headache powders ’ is increasing to an
alarming extent among a great number of wo
men throughout the country. These powders at
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu
facturers to be a positive aud speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaiue or some
other equally injurious drug having a teudeugr
to deaden pain. The habit of takiug them is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off. Women usually begin takiug them to re
lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the mor
phine or opium fiend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly, itnagitiiug that they are iu pain
if they happen to miss their regular dose."
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take a simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed;
once used, always in favor. They posi
tively cure sick headache and remove
the disposition to it.
Mr. E. Vargason, of Otter Lake, Latter Co.,
8. Vabgason. Esc
Mich., writes: “I not
infrequently have an at
!tack of the headache.
It usually comes on in
the forenoon. At my
diuuer I eat my regular
meal, and take one or
two of Doctor Pierce’*
Pleasant Pellets imme
diately after, and in the
course of ati hour my
headache is cured ana
no bad effects. I feel
better every wav for
having taken them—
not worse, as is usual
after taking other kinds
of pills. * Pleasant Pel
b lets’ are worth more
than their weight in
S>ld, if for nothing else
an to cure headache."

THE BEST OF ALL
In All Things All The Time
THERE are many GOOD life insurance companies, but among
them all there must be one BEST. THE BEST is THE
EQUITABLE. If you wish to know why, send for: i, the
report of the Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New
York on the examination of The Equitable; 2, for actual results
of maturing policies; 3, for statement of death claims paid in
1894. Then you will know the three great reasons of The
Equitable’s supremacy: First, its financial stability; second,
its great profits and advantages to living policy-holders; third,
the promptness of its payments and liberality of its settlements.
