has certainly received great benefit from the

"For the Blood is the Life"

See Deuteronomy. xii: %. The blood be-
lag the source from which the system is built
up. and from which we derive our mental as
we'll as physical capabilities, how important
that it should be kept pure II it contain
vile, fostering posons, all organic functions
cecome enfeebed. Settling upon important
organs, as the lungs, liver, and kidneys, the
effect is most disastrous Hence it behooves
all to keep their blood in perfectly healthy
condition, and more especially does this apply
at this particular season of the year than at
any other. No matter what the exciting
cause may be, the real cause of large pro-
portion of all diseases is bad blood Now,
DR.. Pierce 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 :;
on the contrary. there are hundreds of dis.
eases that he ackno lodges it will not cure :;
but what he does claim is this, that there is
but one of blood disease that it will not cure,
and that disease is cancer. he does not re-
commend his Discovery for that disease. yet
he knows it To he the most searching blood
cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free
the bl"od and system of all other blood po>
sons, be they animal, vegetable. or mineral.
The Golden Medical Discovery is .cnrrnfed
by him to cure Bln,ches. Puppies and Erup>
tons also all Glandular SwelIiug~. and the
worst form Of Scrotulous and liberated Sores
of the Neck, Legs. or other parta, and all
Scr"fnlous Diseases Of the Bones. "a White
Swellings, Fever Sores. Hip joint and Spinal

DON'T HACK HACK! COUGH !
COUGH

Cough is u symptom by which vari-
Gus diseased conditions Of the throat,
bronchial tubes and lungs manifest them
selves. But whether it arises from the
irritation produced in the throat and
larynx by taking cold, from an attack OF
Bronchitis, from incipient Consumption
or from various other causes, nothing
will allay it more speedily Or cure it more
permanently than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t does not matter
whether it be recent attack, or q lin
gering cough, the Discovery is in either
case equally well adapted for its relief
and permanent cure. In fact, it will
cure cough in one-half the time neces-
sary to cure it with any other medicine.
and it does it, not by drying it up. but
by removing the cause, subduing the
irritation, and healing the affected parts
No time should be lost in commencing
the use Of proper medicine for the re-
lief of cough, for unless this course is
pursued, serious and dangerous disease
of the lungs is liable to result. Golden
Medical Discovery il sold by all dealers
| in medicines.

How. TO Reduce Gas Bills.

An intelligent householder says:
Probably not one person in ten who
pays gas bills knows anything about
his meter, much less how to read its
record; and, from personal experience,
can assure all such that it pays, in
more ways than one, to be possessed
of such knowledge. Do we burn our
lamps all day, or extinguish them to
save consumption Be equally care
ful with your gas, and remember that
you have not stopped consumption
when you have simply turned it off at
the burner.
You can save one-tenth of your gas
bill by going each night, or morning,
when you need no more light, and
turning it off at the meter; and the
greater the length of pipe in house,
the larger in proportion will be youl
saving; for, no matter how tight and
perfect your fittings, there is always
some leakage. This you save, il
nothing more. Again, gas is always
eondensing, and the waste from this
cause alone, at times, is beyond calcu
lation, and in certain qualities. and al
certain seasons, is greater than Others
and here, too, the greater the length
| of pipe the more waste.

The Registry Bureau.

To the Editor of the Gasette:
Much has been said by editors and the
officers OF the Bureau in favor of it's con-
tinuance. The Bureau has presented its
claims to public favor in eight articles:
LIST. In 'answer to the first article -.
Who will a plot benefit IL might be
of some advantage to real estate deal
ers. but it would carry no legal authori-
ty. II would he very costly:
2nd. In answer to the second. 1t might

costing $500 per annuin to help themp
Are not all classes of citizens burdened
sufficiently alreadyp..
Sd. In answer to the third. The Asses
sors get good pay at present for assessing
the whole property, and no one will sup
pose that an Assessor, after going to each
property, as it is their duty to do, to ex-
anime and value it, will look over the
Assessor should find each property and
assess it. II is bound for the tax with.
ont regard to who is owner.
4th. In answer to the fourth. The
Board OF Revision makes more errors
| than it corrects, and ought to be abol-
ished.
5th. In answer to the fifth w 1t l,ght
has this Bureau to NEEDLE with titles Oh
correct linesp Where do they get judi.
cial powers? It only does mischief, with
no power to correct errors, and may b,
the subject OF suits for damages for it,
intermeddling.
| 9th. In answer to the sixth. With care
full assessments it would save nothing tc
the city. Oh perhaps few hundred dol
lars ut most. But If two Assessors are
insufficient, have five or even ten; it will
cost the city no more and insure IL full
assessment. Why pay several Thousand
dollars per aunum to help Assessors who
are now well paid?
| 9TH. In answsr to the seventh. The
Bureau will be of little advantage tC
any one except real estate dealers. II
has no authority rs to purchasers or in
vesters i'll bonds and mortgages; New
Castle is the only place for authorativ,
information. The Bureau can only ado
to the trouble and costs of making pur
chases and investments. Many will b'
deceived by this Bureau pretending t.
do what it has NO power to do.
8th In answer to the eighth. The Blu
reau has already cost for books SG23 ~
besides the 81, 400 for extra clerk hire pc
annum. Would it not be economical t.
lose what has been expended and saw
the annual hire OF three clerks at a cos
of 81 400? Ii there are 1000 description
already, this is not one-fourth OF til
whole and am informed they are onl
filed, and not recorded. Now why thi
useless and additional expense? Are nc
our burdens and taxes high enough a
ready?
But there has already been petition
to have the Bureau Law repealed. VIII
are the officers supported by that la
allowed to procure remonstrants at tn
city's expense. lax PAYER.
