The Sure Witness" !"

Inc Sure witness.
"Ths nineteenth century is the age
of novels" remarks literary histor-
ian-he might have added with equal
truth, "and novel impositions. Stud
led politeness has been passed off on
us for native refinement, the forms of
devotion for its essence, and specula-
tion for science, until we look askance
at every new person or thing, and to
an assertion of merit, invariably ex-
claim, prove itT' In brief, Satan
has made himself so omnipresent, that
we look for his cloven foot every
where-even in a bottle of medicine.
Imagine a lady, having complexion
so sallow that you would deny her
claims to the Caucasian type if her
features did not conform to it, pur-
chasing her first bottle of the Golden
Medical Discovery The one dollar
is paid in the very Identical manner
in which Mr., Taylor might be expect
ed to purchase lottery ticket after
his experience with "No. lO4, l63,"
with this difference, his doubt would
be the result of personal experience,
while hers would be founded on what
certain practitioner (who has been
whole year trying to correct her re-
fractory liver has said concerning it.
At home, she examines the bottle half
suspiciously, tastes Of its contents
carefully, takes the prescribed dose
more carefully, and then proceeds to
watch the result with as much anxie-
ty as practitioner would count the
pulse beats of dying man. She
takes another dose, and another, and
shows the bottle to her friends, telling
them she feels better Her skin
loses its bilious tint, her eyes regain
their lustre her accustomed energy
returns, and the fact thatshe purchase
ed another was sure witness that she
has found the Golden Medical Dis
covery to be reliable remedy for the
disease indicated. The lady wisely
resolved that in future her estimate
of any medicine will be based upon
a personal k''oarledye of the effects, and
not upon what some practitioner (who
always makes long bills rhyme with
pills. may say of it. DR.. Pierce is
in receipt Of letters from hundreds of
the largest Wholesale and retail drug
gists in the United States stating that
at the present time there is greater
demand for the Golden Medical Dis
covery and Purgative Pellets than
ever before. In affections of the liver
and blood they are unsurpassed.
PERHAPS riotous spirits in this state
are not aware that the cost of the
property they destroy will come back
upon them again in the form of taxes.
Section l of article so of the public
general laws provides that "if in any
county or incorporated town or city
of this state, any church, chapel or
convent, or any dwelling-house, or
any house used or designed by any
person or any body corporate as a
place for the transaction of business
or the deposit of property =
shall be injured or destroyed by any
riotous or tumultuous assemblage of
people, the full amount of damage so
done shall be recoverable by the suf-
ferer or sufferers by suit at law against
the county, town or city, within whose
jurisdiction such riot or tumult OF.
CURED" The mob that is menacing
the property of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad should therefore bear
in mind that the damage they may
do may not be the company's loss, but
the city's. Indeed, as the road pays
no taxes it would not have to bear.
even the incidental burden entalied
by higher taxes.-Baltimlorc Gazette.
