Wanting to Have an Understanding

"esheAAS w Aho'O hh OhucIStAilulDSs .
A night or two since a chap about
thirty five years old, looking as if he
had crawled out of u cave to commence
life anew, entered one of the Detroit
hotels, and, waiting at the counter until
the clerk was at liberty, he asked: "Is

Yes, sir" was the reply.
Good living, good beds, and the

"Well," said the stranger, after a
long look at railroad timetable, "I
suppose you don't trust?"
"No, sir"
Wouldn't let a man stay here four
or five days until something turned up?''
"No, SIR"
"That's what I wanted to know. I
always like to have an understanding
about such things, for if anything makes
me mad it is to have great big hotel
clerk Jump in on me and kick me down
stairs on account of my Strengthened
finances"
"You had better find some other
place., suggested the clerk.
"Oh SHALL" replied the stranger.
"The outside of this hotel seemed to
smile welcome at me, but as said be-
fore, my present policy is to get along
without being kicked. I've got mental
feelings as well as anybody else, and I'm
getting 80 worn in flesh that mere COM

Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines contain
either mercury, in some form. or potassium
and iodine variously combined. Ali OF theee
agents have strong tendency to break down
the blood corpuscles and debilitate and other
wise permanently injure the human system,
and should therefore be discarded: d.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, on the
other hand, being composed Of the fluid ex-
tracts Of native plants, barks and roots, will in
no case produce injury, it's effects being
strengthening and curative only. SarsRpariIa
which used to enjoy quite q reputation as a
blood purifier, is a remedy Of thirty years ago,
and may we'll give place, as it is doing, 10 the
more positive aud valuable vegetable altcra-
tives which later medical investigation and
discovery have brought to light. In scrofula or
kings evil, white swellings, ulcers. erysipelas,
swelled neck. goiter, scrofulous inflsmmation
mercurial affections, old sores. eruptions Of
tue skin, and sore eyes, as in all other blood
diseases, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoy-
cry. has shown its great remedial powers,
curing the most obstinate and intrec able
cases. Sold by all dealers in medicines.
