I'M the nae71G
the consumptive who's not be-
rcft of Judgment and good sense.
He's taking DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. If taken in
time and given a fair trial, it will
effect a cure. Consumption is
Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its
myriad forms, and for all Liver,
Blood and Lung diseases, the "Dis-
covery" is an unequalled remedy.
It's the only guaranteed one. If
it doesn't benefit or cure, you get
your money back. You only pay
for the good you get.
"Discovery" strengthens Weak
Lungs, and cures Splitting Of Blood,
Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis,
Severe Coughs, and kindred affec-
tions. Don't be fooled into taking
something else, said to be "just as
good" that the dealer may make a
larger profit. There's nothing at
all like the "Discovery." It con-
tains no alcohol to inebriate no
syrup or sugar to derange di-
gestion. As peculiar in it's cura-
tive effects as in it's composition.
Equally good for adults or children,

The Use OF ouinIne.

There is no questioning the fact that quii-
nine is valuable medicine as d tonic, anti.
ssovery has greatly helped the cause Of med
cine. Still in majority Of cases its use is
lot altogether satisfactory as it frequently
deranges the system, producing headache;
dizzy feelings, convulsions and sometimes
.ven paralysis. 1t was the endeavor Of the
eminent DR.. John Bull of Louisville, KY. to
invent substitute for quinine, something
that would have all the good qualities OF
evil tendencies. How admirably he sue
ceeded is evidenced by the estimation in
which his remedy Smiths Tonic Syrup is
held by the people; where it is best known
everybody uses it in place of quinine and it
never fails to give the very best Of salts
faction. In cases of chills and fever it is
absolutely a safe and cottain cure.

On more than one occasion chemists

On more than one occasion chemists
and physicians have shown that the
present fashion of having bodies rough
ly embalmed shortly after death throws
serious difficulties in the way of chem
ical analysis in cases of suspected poi
soning. In recent number of the Bos-
ton Medical and Surgical Journal. a
physician relates case in which a
young married woman died with symp-
toms resembling those of arsenical
poisoning. Before a post-mortem ex.
animation could be made the under.
taker, as matter of routine, intro.
iuced into the body large quantity OF
preserving fluid containing arsenic,
SO that the chemists examination was
fruitless and his report valueless. Chi.

The city of Newport, KY, just across
the Ohio from Cincinnati, is about to try
the experiment OF letting all money,
stocks, bonds manufactured goods, raw
materials, tools, machinery, etc, 60 en-
tirely free of municipal taxation. OF
course the hope of its citizens is that
the premium thus set upon manufactor-
les will draw in enough to build up the
city so much that the additional burden
thrown upon real estate will not be felt.
The outcome OF the experiment will be
interesting, but If it succeeds the result
can scarcely be claimed by the Henry
George single tax party as evidence that
it would be good policy to throw all tax
alton, everywhere, upon the soil. New
port will offer inducements for tho re-
moval thither of mills and factories
from other places, but if per-onal prop
erty were exempt from taxation in all
States and cities, there would be no rea-
son for change of location on any such
ground. Leader.
