1t is sometimes said patent medicines
are for the ignorant. The doctors foster
this idea. "The people, )" we're told, .'are
mostly ignorant when 1t comes to medical
science" Suppose they are! What a
sick man needs is not knowledge, but a
cure, and the medicine that cures is the
medicine for the sick. DIR. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery cures the "do be-
lieves' and the don't believes" There
Is no hesitance about 1t, no "if' nor "pos-
sibly." It says-"I can cure, only do as
direct" Perhaps It fails occasionally.
The makers hear of 1t when 1t does,
because they never keep the money when
the medicine fails to do good. Suppose
the doctors went on that principle. eve
beg the doctors pardon. It wouldn't do. }

Procuring Foreign Labor.


The London correspondent of the
New York World forwards the fol-
lowing copy of an advertisement
from the Welsh Herald, with the
statement that similar advertisements
have been recently printed in other
Welsh newspapers
WANTED-150slate makers steady
employment will be given and good
wages will be paid to sober men, in.
dustrious and ingenious in slate quar-
ries. For further particulars inquire
at the Office Of this paper, or address
the Vermont Slate Company, Gran
vile, New York, America.
To those who are so deluded as to
think that tariff protects American
labor this advertisement ought to be
an eye.opener. 1t shows exactly how
American labor is not protected.
The Vermont Slate Company is a
combination Of various companies
which produce the bulk of the slate
used in the United States. There is
not tighter trust or monopoly to be
found anywhere under the sun. On
certain grades of slate, the sea-green
for example, it fixes prices absolutely,
regulates all commissions, and exacts
bonds of dealers to sell at schedule
rates. The company furnishes votes
and money for the Republican party,
and in return is legally authorized to
swindle the public and rob labor of
fair compensation. 1t discharged a
number of workmen after the election
of 1888 because they did not vote for
Harrison, Morton and high tariff. 1t
has but one rule for its employees,
namely-vote as we want you to or
work for somebody else.
For its devotion to the Republican
policy of taxing all for the benefit of
a few, the trust was given an addition
al benefit in the Mckinley act, which
increases the duties on slate so per
cent, and which, with cheaper foreign
labor, will add materially to it's rev.
enues. On the heels of this increased
tariff comes the advertisements of the
company for foreign labor. In doing
this it violates all the promises made
to its workmen in 1881, and also defies
the spirit if not the letter of the con-
tract labor law. Having obtained all

American labor, or labor

Tiedman, the famous Saxon dentist,
had very valuable tortoise shell cat
that for days did. nothing but moan.
Guessing the cause, he I0oked into his
mouth, and seeing a decayed tooth soon
relieved it of its pain. The following
day there were at least ten cats at his
door. the day after twenty, and they
went on increasing at such rate that
he was obliged to keep bulldog TO
drive them away. But nothing would
help them.
A cat that had the toothache would
come any number of miles TO him. 1t
would come down the chimney even,
and not leave tAe room until he had
taken its tooth out. 1t grew such a
nuisance at last that he was never free
from one of these feline patients.
However, being one morning very
nervous. he accidentally broke the jaw
of an old tabby. The news of this
spread like wild-dre. Not single cat
ever came to him afterwards.
