why DO people so frequently say 10
DR. Pierce. II suppose your Golden
Medical Discovery cures everything p
Because it has been the practice of knav-
ish charlatans to manufacture worthless
.nostrums and attempt to dupe the igno-
rant 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,ac-
quired prejudices against all advertised
remedies. But Dr. Pierce does not ad.
vertise his standard preparations as cure.
alls,"' does not claim that they will per-
form miracles, but simply publishes the
fact that they have been developed as spe.
ciics for certain forms Of disease for
which be recommends them, after having
tested their efficacy in many hundred ca,
ses with the most gratifying success. 1t
10 fact knownto every well.informed
physician that many single remedies pos
sess several different properties. Qai.
niue, for instance, has tonic quality,
which suggests its use in cases of debili.
~; an anti periodic, by which IL is efIlca
cious in ague; and febrifuge property,
which renders it efficacious in cases of fe-
Ever. The result of its administration
will vary with the quantity given and
the circumstances under which it is en-
.ployed. SO, likewise the Golden Medi-
cal Discovery possesses both pectoral
and Alternative, or blood-cleansing prop.
critics OF the highest order. BY reason
of these two prominent properties 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 system, in
which affections all skillful physicians
employ Alternatives, as in cases of blotch.
es, eruptions, ulcers, swellings, tumors,
abscesses, and in torpor of the liver or
"billiousness While its use is, 1y its
combination Of properties, suggested in
cases of pulmonary consumption, yet you
need not take it expecting it will cure
you il your lungs are half consumed, nor
because it is recommended as blood
medicine would its proprietor advise you
to take it expecting to cure cancer. 1t
will not perform miracles, but it will cure
many grave forms OF disease. 5

WThe outlook in Eastern Europe

AEThe outlook in Eastern Europe
is as war-like as ever. The Russian ar.
my continues to prepare for hostilities,
and the accumulation OF military stores
goes or, the Government sill monopo-
lizing the transportation Of the railways
leading TO the anticipated field of oper
atoms. Gen Ignatieff, the Russian
Ambassador, is to be given large dis
cretion by the Car in the coming con-
ference. bnt, as we already know, the
Russian demands are very definite, il
not peremptorv. The opposition in En-
gland to the Turkish policy of the Dis
raeli Government found expression ves-
terday in large meeting at London,
which was addressed by Mr. Gladstone,
the Bishop Of Oxford, and others, and
re ceived the support Of the Marquis Of
B:th and the Duke Of Argyle.
