Climatic Influence on Health.

If cannot be denied that the influence OF
climate upon health is great, and 1t is in
of this fact that physicians send
patients suffering with pulmonary diseases
TO great distances for change OF air." But
when the sufferer happens TO be too poor to
act upon the advice his lot is hard indeed.
But it is not necessarily hopeless. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery can be
had at any medicine store, and to 1t thou
sands whose cases were considered desperate
owe their lives. r
Up to certain point in the progress OF
CONSUMPTION, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is positive remedy. But delay
is dangerous with Consumption. In all the
conditions that lead to it, the Discovery
is the remedy. With severe lingering
Coughs or Weak Lungs. nothing acts SC
| promptly. Every disease that can be reach
ed through the blood yields to this medicine
The Scrofulous affections of the lungs that
called Consumption is one OF them. 70
this and for every other form of Scrotula
for all blood d-taints and disorders, and al
chronic Bronchial, Throat, and Lung afiee
tions, the Discovery" is the Only remed
so certain that, once used, it is always
favor. ,f,

aoop TIMES ARE COMING,
What the Post Office Figures Demonstrate.


The auditors division Of the Post
Office Department has just con-,
pleted the settlement of accounts OF
most Offices for the last quarter OF the
calendar year 1904, and the figures,
as compared with those of the same
quarter of 1898, are viewed with
much satisfaction by the officials:
The volume of business transacted
by the postal service has long been
considered a reliable index OF the
condition of trade and commerce OF
the country.
When the recent panic began to
affect the business interests OF the
country that fact was at once shown
in reduced receipts at the post Offices
Now that the figures show an increase
the officials feel justified in arguing
that the bottom has been touched an'
that the country Is on the upwar'
grade.
The sale of stamps for the quartz
was $1o,4os,57I. This is said to b
the largest sum received from tina
source within the same period IN IN
history of the postal service. In
receipts for the last quarter OF I09
were SIS,I99.729

ACCORD, n. Y.-Under the old

any disease of cancerous growth
