THIEVES ROB DOCTORS.
Cases of Physicians' Instruments Carried
Away by Thisving Persons.

Now that the doctors have been driven
into exile more or less it seems as though
thieves were trying to break into the
profession. Two sets of surgical instru-
ments were stolen yesterday evening in
North Topeka.
The new black case containing the in
struments of DR.. Smith OF Granville was
stolen from the doctors buggy as it stood
in front of William Green s. Sons store
on the North side. He did not discover
the loss until he reached home, when he
telegraphed back.
In the evening the set of veterinary in
struments used by Charles E Steele was
stolen from Lodge & Colvin's livery barn.
The tools were in a fair leather case. The
police have been unable to find the stolen
property.

A general banking business is done bv
the human system, because the blood de

gain from day TO day. This wealth is laid
up against "a rainy day " as a reserve fund
we're i'll a condition Of healthy prosperity
If we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon i'll the hour of our greatest need.
There IS danger i'll getting thin, because it's
a sign of letting down in health. To gain
in blood is nearly always to gain in zcEoLe-
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia
If our liver be inactive and our blood i'm.
pure, or If our flesh be reduced belozU a
healkhV standard. What is required is an
increase in our germ fghiine Strength. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches

builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood Gifts poisons, cleanse and

of it, is surely a remedy of great value. But
when we make a positive statement that oS
per cent. of all cases of consumption can, if
taken i'll the early stages of the disease, be
CURED with the Discovery" il seems like
a bold assertion. All DR.. Pierce asks is that
you make a thorough investigation and
