The Old Story.

The morning sunlight looked in through the
 silken curtains, lighting the room as with an
 angels smile, suddenly enveloping the face of
 US occupant with a strange brightness and
 transforming her pale brown hair into waves
 of glistening gold. Said the sunlight: ''Maid-
 en, missed you from the garden where I
 used to find you every morning, and 1 came
 here to seek you. Summer will soon be here
 wilh her roses almost as bright as your cheeks
 Are you ill ?' 70, no !" responded the maid
 den warming her thin, bloodless hands in the
 sunbeam, ''ouly little weak; I shall soon be
 out in the garden to greet you-to-morrow
 perhaps l was just planning how should ar-
 range my flowers this year, when you peeped
 in. Are my lllies up yet?'' ''Yes, your lilies
 are up; have just been warming them I
 have tired you" said the sunlight as he notic- ed the wearily dropping eyelids; II will come again to morrow if you are not in the garden" and silently withdrew, leaving the fair slum-
 berer alone in the gloom. A few hours later
 the moonlight stole softly through the silken
 curtains, which were gently rustlng in the
 night breeze. ''How cold !''l said the moon- light, as she touched the pallid brow, and then
 gently laid her hand on the pulseless heart. Dead !'' she shudderingly whispered, as she withdrew through tilesoftly rustling curtains
 It is the old; old story of consumption. How she fatters her victims at morning with hope's honled words and at evening makes
 them the prey of the spoiler! r Statistics show
 that one-third of mankind die of this disease, and of these, far the greater part are young persons between the ages of fifteen and twen- | ty-five, in the dawn of manhood and woman
 hood. For many years, consumption was generelly believed to be incHrable. But med icine in her triumphant march against disease has already added consumption to her list of
 conquered. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery cures this dread disease if resorted to in time. For full consideration of this dis ease and it's rational method. of treatment, read the articleson Consumption in the Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser, the Diseases | and their Remedies, yet published Prce$1.- 50.
