Come now let us Reason To-
gether.

Why do people SO frequently cay to
DR.. Pierce, II suppose your Golden
Medical Discovery cures every thing?
Because it has been the practice Of knav.
ish charitans to manufacture worthless
nostrums and attempt to dupe the iguor-
ant and credulous BY recommending them
to cure every form of disease. To such
an extent has this been practiced that it
is no wonder that many have acquired
prejudices against oil advertised rome.
dies, But DR.. Pierce does not advertise
his standard preparations as "cure.slls," !"
does not claim that they will perform
miracles, but simply publishes the fact
that they have been developed as speci.
fics for certain forms OF disease for which
he recommends them, after having tested
their efficacy in many hundred cases with
the most gratifying success. 1t is fact
known to every well.informed physician
that many single remedies possess several
different properties. Quinine, for in.
stance, has tonic quality which suggests
its use 10 case Of debility; an anti.period.
10, by which it is efiicacious 10 ague and
febrifuge property, which renders it
eficacious in cases of fever. The result
Of its administration will also vary with
the quantity given and the circumstance
under which it is employed. So, likewise
tho Golden Medical Discovery possesses
both pectoral and Alternative or blood.
cleansing properties Of the highest order.
BY reason of these two prominent prop.
critics it cures two classes OF diseases.
First, those of the respiratory organs, as
throat, bronchial and lung affections,
chronic coughs and asthma, and second,
diseases Of the blood and glandular sys.
tenn, in which affections oil skillful ply.
sicians employ alternatives, as in cases OF
blotches, eruptions, ulcers, swellings, tu.
mors, Assesses, and in torpor of the liv.
er or biliousness." While its use is,by
its combination Of properties, suggested
in cases of pulmonary consumption, yet
you need not take il expecting it will
ou.e you if your lungs are half consumed
nor because it is recommended az blood
medicine would its proprietor advise you
to take it expecting it to cure cancer. 1t
will not perform miracles, bat it will cure
many grave forms of disease.

BY kind OF necessity, each new book

and encouraging my friend to hope for

My first step was to ascertain the num-

on Mr.. Gordon

"Did you keep memorandum of the

After consulting his book, he shook
his head.
"No; these are not the notes."
My first hope was dashed, but l had still
another.
"Will you suffer me to take copy OF
the description Of the notes you did pay
Mr.. Norton ?" | asked.
The permission was given and the copy
made.
Now for hope number two.

Ralph.

in Mr.. Gordon's memorandum of the rotes

realized, and the problem solved!
1 had previously learned from Archie
that he had paid out no money between
the time of receiving the sum from Mr..
Gordon, and that at which he separated
from Grayson and that the note which
led to his arrest he had paid at jewel
er's while on his way to visit Marian, for
a ring which was to figure in the coming
ceremony. It was clear now that Rnlp
Grayson had embraced the opportunity
offered him Of replacing the contents Of

amount of the stolen money, without re-.
fecting that means might exist of tracing
and Identifying the former.
Acting on this conviction, l lost no
time in procuring a warrant for Gray.

The Life of A Reporter.

school in the world to get knowledge Of
human beings, human nature and human
ways. A nice, gentlemanly reporter-I
make no references-is we'll treated by
everybody. Just think of the wide range
of his scquaiutAnceship, his experience Of
life and society. No other occupation
brings man into such familiar social
relations with all the grades and GLASSES
OF people. The last thing at night-mid.
night-he goes browsing around after
items among the police and jailbirds in
the lookup, questioning the prisoners and
making pleasant and lasting friendships
among some Of the worst people in the
world. And the very next evening he
gets himself up regardless Of expense,
puts on oil the good clothes his friends
have got, goes and takes dinner with the
governor or commanders chief of the
district, the United States senator and
some Of the upper crust OF society. lie
