ting" prices leads to "cutting" goods.
For this reason and to protect the pub
lie, the genuine medicines Of DR.. r. v.
Pierce are now sold only through regu-
larly authorized agents. who can sell
only at the following long-established
prices:
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

=. Sl.OO per bottle.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription (for
woman's weaknesses and derangements),
sl.00 per bottle.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets (for the
liver, 25 cents per vial
The genuine medicines, which can be
had only at these prices, are the cheap
est remedies you can use, for they're
guaranteed. It's "value received or no
paw" In every case where DR.. Pierce's
medicines fail to give satisfaction, the
makers will return the money. But
they want to be sure that you get their
medicines, and not their bottles refilled
or tempered with. or spurious limitations.
Refuse everything offered as Dr..
Pierce's medicines ut less than the
above prices. They are generally spu-
riOus.

TABLES Of the density OF the atmos-

THE most recent observations as to
the amount of beat the earth receives

absorbed by the atmosphere and only
261z per cent. reaches the soil. This
figure rises in October to Al per cent
