Dobbin1* Electric Soap.
Having ootained the agency of this cele-
brated Soap for Brenham and .vicinity, i
append the opinion of some of our best
people as to its merits.
We hereby certify that we have used
Dobbins' Electric Soap, made by i. L.
Cragin & Co., Philadelphia, Pa., and state
that its use has given general satisfaction.
That it is a pure soap, and although a little
higher priced than other common rosin
soaps, it is worth more than the difference
in price. \Ye therefore recommend it to all
who dssire a strictly lirst-class soap.
M Rs. F. A. Engelke,
Mrs. J. A. Wii.ki.ns,
Mrs. J. R. Simon.
i desire all my friends and customers to
give this Soap one trial, so they may know
lust how good the best Soap in the United
States is. C. W. KL.EDEN,
Brenham, Texas. Sole Agent.
Clifford's Fobriftige.
In the cure of Fever and Ague this rem-
edy displays extraordinary powers. Prop-
erly used, no case can resist it, and other
diseases of an intermittent character, in*
c't'ding that most distressing disease, peri-
odicafKeuralgia, have been found to yield,
with equal certair.tv, to its influence. It
eradicates all malaria from the system,
gives tone and vigor to the wiiole body,;
and prevents disease from becoming seated, j
1 ry Clifford's Febrifuge; it is sure, sale '

regret buying the first bottle, and you will
have discovered a friend you can not af-
ford to loose.

An Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of tlie American peo
pie are to-day dying from the effects of
Dyspeps'i or disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the masses of intelli-
gent and valuable people is most alarming,
making life actually a burden instead of a
pleasant existence of enjoyment and useful- thf statk op tpvk
ness as it ought to be. There is no good I " . ? TEXAS>
reason for this, if you will only throw aside 1. 10 tht Sheriff or any Constable of Wa
prejudice and skepticism, take the adviceof in6ton county, Greeting:
Druggists and your friends, and try one
bottle of Creen's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles
of this medicine have been given away to
try its virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You c?n buy a sample bottle
for 10 cents to try. Three doses will relieve
the worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
