WELLINGTON, Loran, Co., o., Aug "a, 1874.
DR.. r. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. y:
Dear Sir-Your medicines, Golden Medical Dis
covery, DIR. Ssge's Catarrh Remedy, have proved
of the greatest service to me. Six months ago no
one thought that l could possibly live long. I had
a complication Of diseases,-scrofula, manifesting
itself in eruptions and great blotches on my head
that made such sores that could not have my
hair combed without causing me much suffering
also causing swollen glands, tonsils enlarged or
"thick neck" and large and numerous boils. ]
also suffered from terrible Chronic Catarrh, and
in fact was so diseased that life was burden to
me. had tried many doctors with no benefit. /
finally procured one-halfdozen bottles of your
Golden Medical Discovery and one dozen OF
Sage's Catarrh Remedy and commenced their use.
At first was badly discouraged, but after taking
four bottles of the Discovery began to improve,
and when had taken the remaining was well.
In addition to the use Of the Discovery, applied
solution of Iodine to the Goitre thick neck, as
disappeared. Your Discovery is certainly the
most wonderful blood medicine ever invented. |
thank God and you, from the depths of my heart,
for the great good it has done me.
Very gratefully,
Mrs. J.. CHAFFE.
Most medicines which are advertised as blood
purifiers and liver medicines contain either mercu-
ry, in some form, potassium and iodine various
ly combined. All OF these agents have strong
tendency TO break down the blood corpuscles, and
debilitate and otherwise permanently nure the
human system, and should therefore be discarded.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, on the
other hand, being composed Of the fluid extracts
of native plants, barks and ROOTS will in no case
produce injury, its effects being strengthening and
curative only. Sarsaprtla which used to enjoy
quite reputation blood purifier, Is a remedy
Of thirty years ago, and may well give place as it
is doing, to the more positive and vegetable alter
natives which latter medical investigation and dis
covery has brought to light. In scrotula or King 5

The Mining Troubles not yet
Ended
A Large and Excited Meeting Of the
Miners.

Osceola, May l3. John Siney, President of the
Miners and l.. b. Association, while addressing
a large meeting of excited miners at this place,
to-day, said that if Capt. T. Z. Clark of the police
force, received any injury the miners would not
be to blame; it would be the fault of the persons
who sent him here. He also said there were
times when persons were justified
in violating the law; that it was robbery. and
the persons who come here now seeking to take
the places of those on strike, were robbing the
children and women Of their bread, and should
be treated accordingly.
Siney then sent this infuratcd crowd up to
Poweton some three miles south OF this place to
drag the men from their work as they did at Fish
er ( Millers works yesterday. 1t is the univer-
sal belief there among disinterested citizens that
if there is blood shed the blame will rest with
Siney and Parks, who are under pay Of the NATL
organization and whs it is believed are being paid
by shippers in other regions that are now working
to keep this strike up. Siney and Parks are both
foreigners and have made some very heavy threats
against native born miners and the shippers who
are all native born.
