AUTO-TOXICATION
IS CAUSEOF ILLS
Vital Organs Rebel at Being
Kept on Constant Strain .
The world's most eminent authori
ties on the science of healthful living
and present day diseases, liken the
human body to a steam engine, its
wastes corresponding to the ashes.
They have also termed the founda
tion of modern maladies, which daily
leave hundred of sad homes in their
trails, auto-intoxication, which is
nothing more nor less than the self
poisoning of the vital organs, brought
oh by excessive mental and physical
strain,
The toxication lias its origin, for
the most part, medical experts say, in
the kidneys or stomach, because of the
faulty methods of living which have
become common in recent years.
When the organs become weakened
from any cause they are unable to
throw off the accumulation of waste
matters. The injury which comes
from the retention of the body's waste
products is of the greatest importance
Abnormal conditions of the intestines
are largely responsible for the com
mon headache malady, and for a gen
erally lowered resistance, resulting in
colds and catarrhal affections as well
as other equally serious ailments.
Under these conditions the organs
are rendered lame and toxins actual
poisons are permitted to generate
within one's body.
Bright's disease, stomach and in
testinal troubles and catarrhal affec
tions of the mucous membranes may
be called auto-intoxications.
Tanlac, the Ideal reconstructive
tonic, was designed especially to com
bat these ills. Tanlac begins its ac
tion by stimulating the digestive and
assimilatiTe prgaus, thereby enrich
ing the blood and invigorating the en
tire system. Next Tanlac aids the
stomach to thoroughly digest the food
thus permitting the assimilable prod
ucts to be converted into blood, bone
and muscle.
To the automobilist it might be
said that Tanlac acts as a spark plug
in the human mechanism It starts
the vital engines and then keeps them
going at a proper regulated speed
Tanlac, the ideal tonic, invigoranfc,
appetizer and builder of tissues, is
being introduced in Columbia at the
Page & Hamilton drug store, where
the Tanlac Man daily explains its mer
its and what may be expected from
its use

and womanhood, and some in the
the buoyant flush of hopeful
youth have been gathered in by
the Grim Reaper, and to me
their memory is "Like the touch
of a hand-that has vanished and
a voice that forever is stilled."
As the affairs of this region
are not of interest to you people,
I'll say that the ravages of the
summer flood is as the sweep of
desolation. While cotton is
sweet sixteen, the crop is very
short, and the price of food crops
is tangoing with the stars.
Many excellent farmers will not
make a bushel of corn, and their
land is seriously injured. All
that such people can do is to
trust God and keep their powder
dry. The estimated damage to
cromp in this county is $200,000;
while the expense of rebuilding
bridges, will be $150,000. Our
excellent sand clay roads were
somewhat injured, but these
were built by bond issues, and
are to be repaired in same way.
The phones were badly injured
by wind and electric storms, ie.,
the lines; but the work of repair
and reconstruction goes brave
ly on. You may say what you
please of the poor soil, poverty
of .people in this region, but in
meeting emergencies they are
redoubtable. The extravagance
and corruption of Reconstruction
shamefully robbed the South,
but like the fabled Phenix they
rose from the ruins. At one
time the poll tax of Cleveland

county, North Carolina was sev
en dollars, and the rapacious
carpetbagger preyed like a cor
morant on their substance. But
men, women and children went
to work, and at length the wil
derness blossomed, The school
master is now abroad, the mel
ody of Christian worship rises
from the temples consecrated to
the living God, we have state
wide prohibition, and the negro
is no longer a menace in politics.
By this is not meant that the
Millennium has dawned, or that
the year of Jubilee has come, for
here as elsewhere, the trail of
the serpent is over them all. But
in Fertile regions the thrift, en
ergy and economy that is so ev
ident in North Carolina is not ap
parent. In some Southern
States the 'white man looks upon
manual labor as ignoble, and de
pends "on negroes to cultivate the
soil. Here nearly everybody
works. The slave oligarchy was
responsible for this delusion; and
hence the West has outstripped
the South in material prosperity.
The counties of Scotland and
Robeson are the most prosperous
in this State, and many college
men, with degreesare success

work.
The political pot is boiling, and
democratic success is a foregone
conclusion. We are for Wood

ucated at Davidson College of
North Carolina, and T. W. Bick
