A wealthy bachelor declared that
horrid hag had glared ait him through

but he insisted that the house was
haunted. He grew i'll, complaining OF
extreme heaviness in the stomach, his
appetite failed, he grew sallow, emaci-
ated and despondent, believing he was
going to die the spook being a warn
ing. and declared he could hear funeral
bells ringing in his ears, and even hint
ed at suicide. A friend induced him to
use DR.. Plerce's Golden Medical Dis

spooks and all his distressing symp-
toms disappearing. A torpid liver and
