DIR. r. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir
It is with happy heart that pen these lines
to acknowledge that yon and your Golden
Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets are
blessings to the world. These medicines can
not be too highly praised, for they have almost
brought me out Of the grave. Three months
ago was broken out with large ulcers and
sores on my body, limbs and face. I
procured your Golden Medical Discovery and
Purgative Pellets, and have taKen six bottles
and to-day am in good health all those ugly
ulcers having healed and left my skin in q
natural, healthy condition. thought at one
time could not be cured. Although I can
but poorly express my gratitude to you, yet
Gods blessing rest on you and your wonder
full medicines is the humble prayer of
Yours truly, JAMES o. BELLS.
When a medicine will promptly cure such
terrible eating ulcers and free the blood of the
vlrulent poison causing them, who can longer
doubt its wonderful virtues? DR.. Pierce,
however, does not wish to place his Golden
Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack
patent nostrums by recommending it to cure
every disease, nor does he SO recommend it
but what he does claim is this, that there is
but one form of blood disease that it will not
cure, and that disease is cancer. He does not
recommend his Discovery for that disease, vet
he knows it to be the most searching blood
cleanser yet discovered, ana thatit will free the
blood and system of all other known blood
poisons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral
The Golden Discovery is warranted by him to
cure the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as
all forms of blotches, Pimples and Eruptions,
also all Glandular Swellings, and the worst
form of Scrofulous and liberated Sores of
Neck, Legs or other parts, and all scrofulous
Diseases of the Bones, as White Swellings,
Fever Sores, Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases,
all Of which belong to Scrofulous Diseases.

MAN DRowNED.-Frtz Mumma, aged TWEEN
ty-one years, was drowned on Saturday morn
ing last, while bathing with some companions
in Gwynn's Falls, near the Western Cemetery,
LIST district. He had been employed by VIM.
wilkins Co., at their factory on the Frederick
road and resided at Rock Springs, in the same
neighborhood. The body was recovered soon
after the unfortunate occurrence, and Justice
Lehman, of the county summoned jury and
held an inquest. Several witnesses, who COM
prised the bathing party, testified that the de-
ceased asserted his ability to swim, and they
all entered the water. Mumma then jumped
on the back of one of the party, named Paul
Hebst, and, before he could extricate himself
from his (Mumma's) clutches, was nearly
drowned himself. He finally shook Mumma
off, and only then it was found that he could
not swim. Efforts to save him were made, but
without success. The body of the deceased
was taken to his late residence, and given to
his relatives for interment.

and seclusive life women holds in the East, on.

women of America have organized to help and

LOCAL MATTERS.

MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL AssoCIATIoN-The
regular monthly meetidg of the Mary land Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical Association was held
in Baltimore ON Thursday afternoon of last
week Owing to the busy season OF the year,
the meeting was not attended by as many prac-
teal farmers as usual.
MIR. Davis stated that since the last meeting
of the Association, the farmers of Montgomery
county held public meeting, at which they
passed series of resolutions approving the
district system for county road management
instead OF the present county system. The res
oIutons also endorsed the action of the Mary.
land Agricultural Association or the same SUBJ
ject.
Mr.. Davis called attention to the fact that at
the last monthly meeting the subject of taking
some steps towards protecting farmers from
the large amount of spurious or impure guano
forced upon them by the guano dealers had
been agitated. He said he thought the only
way to obviate this evil was to purchase the
guano directly from the importers, and by do
ing this the farmers would not only get pure
guano, but they would get it at the importers
prices. To do this the farmers would have to
select some agent and buy their guano direct.
ly from him. Mr.. Davis concluded his re-
marks by hoping that the farmers would not
fail to take some action in this matter.
Mr.. Sands exhibited number of the cele-
brated Colorado potato bugs, which had this
spring made their appearance in Baltimore
county for the first time.
Mr.. Davis introduced the Rev. Thomas Nc
Cormick, one of the oldest agriculturists in
MARYLAND, who read an essay on relrigerators
4dr. VIM. Brown, of Montgomery county,
was introduced, and gave a very interesting
description of blowing match which took
place four miles from Baltimore on the Fred
erick road, in 1922. At that match Mr.. Brown
took the first premium that was ever given in
Maryland for pillow. This pillow was the fiji st
ever made in this country with a cast iron
mole-board Mr.. Brown also related some
very interesting incidents of early Maryland
farming.
On the motion of Mr.. Sands, the Society then
adjourned until the first Tuesday in Septem
Der.
The Executive Committee will meet on the
10th of June, to make final arrangements for
the fall exhibition.

STRIKE OF FACTORY HANDs.-The hands en-
ployed at Warren cotton duck mills, on Sat-
urday, May 3Oth, informed Mr.. Baldwin, one
of the propretors of the mills, that unless the
hours of labor were reduced from IL to 10 hours
per day, they would stop work. AS Mr.. Bald
win did not accede to their wishes, they stop
ped work and up to last accounts the mills
were standing idle.
A call was made for meeting at Woodber-
ny, on Thursday night, June 4th, for the pur-
pose of forming cooperative union for the
protection of mill hands. The citizens of
Woodberry, however, did net respond to the
call, and no meeting was held. The projec-
tors of the union will publish another call for
a meeting in few days.

"0nce more take the liberty to address you
and to give you a short report of our last meet
ing which was held at our cozy little school
house, on Thursday evening" June 4th.
"The first item on the programme was de-
bate on extemporaneous speaking between P.
Hunter and c. Wegman. Both these gentle
men entered upon the discussion with the spirit
OF former times, which aroused, as usual, the
interest of all present.
CATER the debate we listened to some address,
es on "human life" by c. Wegman, P. Hunter,
N. Frederick and VIM. Jones. C. Wegman
spoke on Infancy, Childhood and Youth p.
Hunter on Manhood, N. Frederick on Ole Age,
whilst our President, Mr.. W. Jones, expatiated
upon Social Life and its Evils.
"The evenings becoming shorter it was
thought best to adjourn until fall. A few pa
triotic farewell speeches were made which left
a good impression upon all. vote of thanks
was rendered to the audience for their kind at
tendance as we'll as attention during the past
sessions of the association, and also especially
to G. Wegman, of New York, who, sojourning
on business among us, took an active part in
our exercises and labored necessarily for the
interest of the Society.
Yours respectfully, REC. SECRETARY"
