A Card Of Thanks,

Tie PLAIN DEALER is under special
obligations to Fred l.. Akers of De-
corah Public Opinion for column of
censure; it is so much better than a
word of commendation would be from
that source.
The particular point in his criticism
is that this paper thinks he at no
time had more than 400 actual sub
scribers. A IL page paper, column
folio, eight pages of which was print
ed by the Chicago Newspaper Union,
sent by express with weight of SO
pounds, would not as every printer
knows count out about 500 instead of
1000 as that paper proclaimed. Such
u statement of circulation from
such q weight of paper would make
Annanias turn green with envy.
Its criticism of s. q. Harris in the
same article is in exceeding bad taste.
Akers had been a friend and chum of
Harris for 10 these many years. Knew
about his dishonesty in ever phaze of
of life, from that of business to his
family relations, and associated with
him in hopes to profit by the very
dishonesty that he now condemns,
because perhaps he was injured in
stead of protited thereby as he hoped.
1t is not necessary that we cal
Akers untruthful; his article circulat
ed among the people who have known
us for the last forty years are the
jurors to decide upon his veracity.

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH. Hard Work and Indigestion go
 Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued ill, robs the stomach of necessary blood, and this is also true of hard physical labor.
 When five horse power engine is made to do ten horse power work something is going 10 break. Very often the hard worked man coming from the field or the office will "bolt D his food ill few Inin- utes which will take hours to digest. Then too, many foods are about as useful ill the stomach as a keg of nails would be in fire under boiler The ill-used stomach refuses 10 do its work without the proper stimulus which it gets from the blood and nerves. The nerves are weak and ready nourisliment they require from the blood, finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake when the overworked man at tempts to find rest ill bed.
 The application of common sense i'll the treatment of the stomach and the whole system brings to the busy man the full en- joynent of life and healthy digestion when he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to relieve bilious stomach or after too hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery 10 purify, enrich and vitalize the blood. The Pellets are tiny sugar coated pills made of highly concen- trated vegetable ingredients which relieve the stomach of all offending matters easily and thoroughly. They need only be taken for short time to cure the bliousness, constipation and slothfuness or torpor, of the liver; then the Medical Discovery" should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in- crease the blood and enrich it. It has a peculiar effect upon the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels toning up and strengthening them for all time. The whole system feels the effect of the pure blood coursing through the body and the nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called celery compounds and nerve mixtures do but refreshed and fed on the food they need for health If you suffer from indi- ,es,f,.a, "a ,:a, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any ss ",,e ;fIss which come from impure blood md d;sordered sfse,,I,,' s,I ,'ach, you can cn,e pou with Dr. PieTce,s c,6ltfe'ssn Medical Discovery which can be obtained 'ar -lIly irug store in the country.
