A Misunderxtandinx.

There is funny story told in the senate
OF the mistake made by member Of that
body AT the time Of General Arson Nc
Cooks marriage some half dozen years ago.
Senator Dolph undertook to get up q sub
scriprion for a suitable wedding present,
and offering the paper to one Of his col
leagues who was somewhat deaf explained
the case and asked for what amount he
might put his name down in the list. The
senator from Oregon was somewhat non
plussed and considerably nettled to meet
with point blank refusal The affair was
the more inexplicable as the senator Of
whom the contribution was desired was
known to be warm personal friend Of Gen
eral McCook.
Later in the day the situation was I'M
consciously explained by the offending SEN
ator, who remarked to group OF his
friends: What the deuce do you suppose
Dolph meanss He came to me today, and
after telling me that his cook was going to
be married actually asked me to contrib
ute for wedding present. Kate Fields

work in recognizing her navy that he
was warmly praised by the emperor and
made superintendent Of the Chinese Ma

Of all cases of consumption can, If taken in
the earlier stages of the disease be cured
This may seem like bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally in use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions. extract
OF malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like paiIidliyes
Although by many believed to be incura-
Bile, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
6eHtdge Of cases and we believe fniIy 0S
per cent are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration tinclud-
ing tubercular natter, great loss of flesh
and extreme enaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to Us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for It. They have, in nearly every
instance. been 50 pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
trial Of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
II surpasses, IN curative power over this
iatil ma!ady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
bt or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number Of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 80
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.
