It win, perhaps, require q little stretch Of
the imagination on the part Of the reader to
recognize the fact that the two portraits at
the head of this article are Of the same in
dividual and yet they are truthful sketches
made from photographs, taken only a few
months apart, of q very much esteemed citi-
zen of Minois-Mr. G. H. Harris, whose ad-
dress is No. 1,623 Second Avenue, Rock
Island, Ill. The following extract from a let
ter written by MIR. Harris explains the mar
Vicious changein his personal appearance. He
writes "Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery saved my life and has made me a
man. Myhome physician says I am good for
forty years yet. You will remember that l
was just between life and death, and oil of
my friends were sure it was a case of death,
until | commenced taking a second bottle OF
Golden Medical Discovery when I became
better, and the bleeding from. mi lun0s
stopped, and before l had taken six bottles Of
the Golden Medical Discovery my cough
ceased and I was a new man and ready for
business.
I now feel that it is a duty that I owe to
my fellow-men to recommend to them the
Golden Medical Discovery which saved my
life when doctors and all other medicines
failed to do me any good.

tiographs are faithfully reproduced at tho
head Of this article.
Mr.. Harris's experience in the use Of " Gold
en- Medical Discovery" is not an exceptional
one. Thousands of eminent people in all
parts cf the world testify, in Just as emphatic
language, to its marvellous curative powers
over all chronic bronchial, throat and lung
diseases, chronic nasal catarrh, asthma, and
kindred diseases.
Eminent physicians prescribe Golden
Medical Discovery" when any Of their dear
ones lives are imperilled by that dread dis
ease, Consumption. Under such circum-
stances only the most reliable remedy would
be depended upon. The following letter il to
the point. It is from an eminent physician Of
Stamps, Lafayette Co., Ark. He says !:
Consumption is hereditary in my wife's
family some have already died with tho dis
ease. My wife has q sister, Mrs. +. A.
Cleary, that was taken with consumption.
She used DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. and, to the surprise of her many friends,
she got well. Ny wife has also had hem

lea. and BOuiIIon.
No formal notice has as yet been taken bF
the temperance societies of the fact that tha
men are each winter moro and more closely
following the example Of the women In the
matter of hor drinks. II was only few years
ago that some enterprising druggist added
beef tea to his soda water iispensary. As
long as he limited his warming beverages 10
hot soda there was no chance TO caLture the
man with his mawkish drink, but beef rea,
with dash of celery salt. was a little lesa
girly-girly, says the New York Sun. and tina
man began to sneak in on very cold days and
warm up on this behind the shelter of ths
soda fountain. Then clam broth was added,
and the man knew of the good cheer and the
good qualities OF that drink because he had
been in the habit of taxing il in saloons. And
when he found 1t was just as nice and cents
cheaper in the drug store than it was In the
saloon, and that he did not have to treat any,
body. he began to go more frequently to the
shop.
The cake dealers and restaurant men were
not slow TO see which way things were going,
and the cheering sign, Warm up and be
glad, met the man on every block. The list
of drinks increased, and this winter there
seems to be regular furore for hot non
intoxicating drinks. Tea, coffee, cocoa and
chocolate, beef tea, beef bouillon, chicken
bouillon, clam broth, oyster broth, ginger
tea-the list is q long one and the man finds
that cup OF any OF them, served in dainty
china, is Just as good for warminx-up pur-
poses a. whisky or hot Scotch, and some
times he almost thinks it is a good deal bet
ter. He finds, too, that now he has lots OF
male company. and that there are lots OF
other men who ara thinking and doing the
same as he
The saloons have found out the defeetions
from their cash registers, and are adding hot
non-spirituous drinks to their bar list, bur
