M the ha1,s of diseases that follow a tor pid liver and impure blood, nothing can take the place of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med- ical Discovery. Nothing will, after you have seen what it does. It prevents and cures by removing the cause. It invigorates the liver, purihes and enriches the blood, sharp ems the appetite, improves di- gestion, and builds up both strength and flesh, when re- duced below the standard of health. For Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint" Scrofula, or any blood-taint it's a posi- tive remedy. It acts as no other medicine does. For that reason, it's sold as no other medicine is. It's guaranteed to benefit or cure, or the money is refunded.

 He heard her go away after bit, and he went back to the glass to whisper:
 "I'll be hanged if I haven't pretty near cut my old chia off! What in Texas sils the old thing, anyhow. Pll get the hang of it if it cuts my head off I didn't have lather enough"
 He lathered some more. Then he picked up the razor and carefully examined both sides and the edge and back. Then he laid the fiat of the blade on his chin and smiled sveetly and whispered:

 Her words brought MT. Bswssr to himself. He turned back, beckoned for her to follow, and as they enter ed the bedroom he silently pointed. The razor lay on the floor, the bowl was broken in three pieces, and there was lsther everywhere
