PImpIes, E,uptions, Rough skin.

The system being put under the influence of
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery for a
few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear,
soft and velvety, and being Illuminated with
the glow of perfect health from within, true
beauty stands forth in all its glory. Nothing
ever presented to the public as a beautifer of
the complexion ever gave such satisfaction for
this purpose as this Discovery. The effects of
all medicines which operate upon the system
through the medium of the blood are necessa-
rily somewhat slow, no matter how good the
remedy employed. While one to three bottles
clear the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions,
yellow spots, comedones, or ''grubs," adozen
may possibly be required to cure some cases
where the system is rotten with scrofulous or
virlent blood posons. The cure oiall these dis
eases, however, from the common pimple to
the worst scrofula is, with the use of this
most potent agent, only matter Of time.

There are those who pray for theirspeedinp
And Joyous rctu ming, some day,
And Hope, with her roseate cleaning,

But the ship that freighted went down
In the beauteous "long, long ago."
Nor weeping, nor waiting, nor watching
Can bring returning, know.
An argosy bright, full laden,

BY purple Islands of beauty,
And emerald outings of lea.
Pleasures and JOYS unnumbered,
Flushed fair on the radiant deck,
And the blue OF the heavens imprisoned
Not shadowy gloom nor speck.

While the vessel | loved set sail,
My heart hymned sweet jubilate,
And only the ocean made wall.
But fate that tells out life's sorrows,
Stopped mine ut n sad miserere,
And the ship that freighted went down,
In u fathOmless depth of sea,
So wait no more forever,
For my ship "to come home TO me-"
All of love and bliss that treasured,
Went down In that pitiless sea,
And | stand by the bleak sea alone
Alone with despair and regret,
Knowing that now and forever,
The sun of my hoping hath set.
There are patches of light on the Shorthand,
And white crested pillows ofsea,
But tune, to the moan of the breakers,
My trembling soul-threnody,
And see not the light on the mainland,
Nor the sheen of the sun on the wave,
But list to Tia } tidal FLASHING,
And the seething pillows rave.
So stand by the bleak sea alone,
A cry of despair on nv lips;
watch, while the breakers moan,
The CLEAN of the outgoing ships.
