Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Minety-eighf per cent. of all
cases OF Consumption, in all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura.
bic there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
centage of cases, and we believe, JulIy %
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copiouS expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular r1atter) great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess thai
it surrasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy 'emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene.
fit, OF had only seemed to benefit little for
q short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos.
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma chronic nasal
catarxh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of I6o
pages which will be mailed to you, on re.
ccipt of address and six cents in stamps.

Late Literary News.

General Lord Wolseley makes most
important contribution to the literature
of the China-Japan war in an article
for the February Cosmopolitan. He dis
cusses the situation and does not mince
matters in saying what China must do to
this emergency. Two other noted foreign
authors contribute interesting articles to
this number. Rosita Mauri, the famous
Partisan dansepse, gives the history of
the ballet, and Emile Olivier tells the
story of the fall of Louis Philippe. From
every part of the world, drawings and
photographs have been obtained of the
instruments used to torture poor human
ity, and appear as illustrations for a
clever article, by Julian Hawthorne en-
titled, "Salvation via the Rack" Mrs.
Reginald de Koven, Anatole France, w.
Clark Russell, Albion Tourgee, and Will
lam Dean Howells are among the story
tellers for the February number of the
Cosmopolitan.

Charities Men.

80 Charities Men.
The sky was gray and the grass was green,
When the Bonnie Prince in our glen was seen;
The grass was green and the sky was gray,
When on his horse he rode away;
When he rode away with a score and ten
Who were blithe to go with Charities Men.
Oh, loath was from my love to part
Hamish the tall with the steadfast heart
But the Prince kissed lightly my cheek and
brow.
And LEND me-" he said, your sweetheart
now,
And when we return victorious, then
You shall wed the bravest of Charles Men,"
watched them springing down the brae,
For they took the short and the dangerous
way;
saw their spears CLEAN far and bright
Till the fir trees hid them from my sight,
Till faint and small as the chirp of a wren
Were the pipes that played for Charles Men,
The sky was blue, green was the grass,
When Joyful word came up the pass;
The grass was green, the sky was blue
And dark proved Malcolm's dream was truel
Although the foe for one were ten
The fight was won by Charles Men!
But other tales we had to mark
As grass grew gray, and skies were dark,
And the strath was filled with tear and sigh
For sires and sons who had marched to die;
And Hamish, my own, the pride of the glen,
Lay dead on the field with Charles Men.
might be bind, for never see
But spearheads glintin bonnillie;
l might be deaf for only hear
The pibroch ringing shrill and clear;
And by moor and meadow, on brae and ben,
My thoughts are thoughts of Charles Men.

IF Mother Would Listen.

If mother would listen to me, dears,
She would freshen that faded gown,
She would sometimes take an hours rest,
And sometimes trip to town.
And It shouldn't be all for the children,
The fun and the cheer and the play;
With the patient droop on the tired mouth,
And the Mother has had her day."
True, mother has had her day, dears,
When you were her babies three,
And she stepped about the farm and the
house,
AS busy as a bee.
When she rocked you all to sleep, dears,
And sent you all to school,
And wore herself out and did without,
And lived by the Golden Rule.
And so your turn has come, dears,
Her hair is growing white;
And her eyes are gaining the faraway look
That peers beyond the night.
One Of these days, in the morning,
Mother will not be here.
She will fade away into silence
The mother so true and dear.
Then what will you do in the daylight,
And what in the cleaning dim2
And father, tired and lonesome then.
Pray, what will you do for him9
If you want to keep your mother,
You must make her rest today;
Must give her share in the frolic,
And draw her into the play.
And il mother would listen to me, dears,
She'd buy her gown Of silk,
With buttons Of royal velvet,
And ruffles as white as milk.
And she'd let you do the trotting,
While she sat still in her chair.
That mother should have it hard all through,
1t strikes me isn't fair.

A Terrible Visitant.

Pain is always terrible visitant, and
often domiciles itself with one for life.
This inhiction is preventable, in cases of
rheumatism, by timely resort to Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which checks
. the encroachments of this obstinate and
dangerous malady at the outset. The
term dangerous" is used advisedly, for
rheumatism is always liable to attack the
vital organs AID terminate life. No tes-
timony is more conclusive and concurrent
than that of physicians who. testify. to
the excellent effect of the Bitters in this
disease. Persons incur wetting in
rainy or snowy weather, and who are ex-
posed to draughts, should use the Bitters
rs preventive of Ill effects. Malaria,
dyspepsia, liver and kidney trouble, ner-
vousness and debility are also among the
ailments to which this popular medicine
is adapted. For the infrmities, soreness
and stiffness of the aged it is highly
beneficial.

Contraries.

The truest pleasures always como through
pain,
The Jester Outlines heaves the saddest sighs
The lips oft smile while tears bedim the eye
The brightest sunshine follows close the rain;
The richest gems are hardest to obtain;
The purest pearls lie hid in deepest waves;
The jewel liberty's most priced by slaves;
The shallowest mind is ever the most vain.
Our hopes are fulfilled through others tears;
Our losses ofttimes bring others gain,
And friendships but a passing breath.
Thus runs the world throughout the gliding
years;
Most clouds are silver lined, yet man Is fain
To seek for immortal life through death.

GEMS IN VERSE.
Loves Decline.

There comes to most of us, perhaps to all,
A day when love is at its height, its best,
And as star that floats adown the west,
Ger the horizons rim, beyond recall,
Steals all the jewels from the lily's breast,
And leaves 1t shrouded In its dewy thrall;
We watch the glow in passions life decline.
A dull, dead terror seizes us; we try
To fan the flame, with Jealous heart and eye;
We will not yet believe the surest sign;
The day love doubts, it then begins to die;
Though chilled with change, our hearts will
not divine.
And yet 1t pales and DINNER grows; the frost
That sears the flowers less cruel seems to me
Than slow decay and blight in summer. We
Who would have given the world, or any cost,
For loves sweet passion once, look back and
see
Its bloom and fragrance are forever lost.
