Whey Take
 Puritana.
WHY THEY GET WELL.

The proof does it. That is why people begin to take Puritana.
 People find that their neighbors have tried it.
 Their friends have tried it. Men and women in every walk of life have tried it.
 A man suffers.
 Perhaps he has suffered for years, He has tried many things. They have all failed. He reads a Puritana testimonial. He reads another. He sees new ones wherever he looks.
 Some of the writers are in his own town.
 Some in his own business. Some he can see.
 Some he can write to. Some have been cured of his own ailtnent.
 Some of other ailments. All are grateful.
 All are glad to tell suffering people how Puritana gave them relief. They are approachable folks, and their voluntary testimonials count. Some live in town.
 Some in the country. Some hold office.
 Some vote.

It isn't fair to start baby WY out in life loaded down with the chairls and manacles of ill-hea1th A baby ought to have an even chance any way.
 A mother can do a great deal to give her baby fair start. She can almost always give him a strong, healthy co1stl- tuition, by taking proper care and build ing up her health during the time when baby is expected. Dr. Pierce's Favorlte Prescription has done wonders for ex- pectant mothers and their babies. It gives health and strength to the mother at the time she needs it most. It purifies the whole system; gives endurance and elasticity to the special organs of natern- ity, and healthfll tone to the nerves. It makes confinement shorter and easier; protects the mother from prostrating re- lapse and promotes a good supply of healthy nourislltnent for the child.
 It is the only medicine that does all this. It is the only medicine for women devised by regularly graduated, skilled and experienced physician. Dr. Pierce's medicines are standard remedies all over the world.
 ". R. Malcolm, of Knobei, Clay Co, Ark, writes: Since wrote you we have had a baby girl born to us. My wife took your Favorite Prescription all during pregnancy until conflne- meut, and she had no trouble to mention at con- fnement A stouter, heartier child was never born. She will be one year of age the Sth inst. and she has not been sick day. Has not had so much as the collie. And my wife had not so much fever two or three days after the child was born, although the attending physician told us she would have fever about such time. Our neighbors remarked to me that they thought my wife the stoutest litle woman they ever knew We think our good health due to the use of your family medicines and of course so told our neigh bors. If believe in anything as I do iu youi l medicines, like to recommend them.n

Puritana Patients

But all are honest and sincere. That is why any one can prove for himself the genuineness of Pt1ritana cures.
 Puritana patients get well.
 This is fact
 There are reasons for it.
 Puritana is the discovery of Prof. Dixi Crosby.
 Hewasthe greatest New Hampshire physician of his day.
 He was at the head of the Dart mouth Medical College for 2 genera ton.
 He used common sense, and found that disease or health came to the body through the stomach.
 He scientifically compounded a stomach medicine from the harmless products of nature.
 This is Puritana.
 It makes the stomach right.
 That is why 1t makes the health right.
 With a sound stomach no one can help being well.
 That is why Puritana patients get well.
 Chemists say that Puritanais good medicine.
 They also say it is well made. The materials are the purest and best that money can buy.

Druggists say it is good medicine. Their customers buyit and are more than satisfied with it's effects.
 What the people say about Puritana you have read before, and you will read again.
 The thousands of Puritana cures are becoming better known. every day. The patients are real people.
 The cures are real cures.
 They can be proven in court.
 They can be proven by any medical society.
 They have been proven before the tribunal of Public Opinion.

SARATOGA. N. Y, June Ga.-Rafars
the time for the assem- bling Of this
Democratic convention ii was given
out that Senator Hill wou3a be THIS
permanent chairman. The CONVEX,
0 was called TO order ey Chairman
Hinckley, who Introduced Mayor John
Boyd Thatcher Of Albany as ssraear~
airy chairman. In the urs al hi.
speech, on assuming the chair, he
said: Pacing Chicago, we confess
that the situation is not without peril
Circumstances, some of which, per
haps, might have been controlled
have created what we believe 10
be an financial faith, q
faith which has spread alarmingly in
the West and South ana which
has found adherents even IN the East
and North. 1t is a faith which is not
to be eradicsted with the sword. bu,
with the pen and tongue. With many
1T is a panacea for commercial dis
orders. Men hold these false views
through a misconception Of economic
truths and through not understanding
economic laws Of the times and season
OF their application. Not everything
which is signed and sealed is valid.
The stamp OF the government on a
piece OF silver can never make it
worth more than the word is willing
to give for It II we are to accomplish
our mission at Chicago we must go
there to persuade erring brothers and
not to quarrel with enemies. The
people who hold those strange views
are honest, but mistaken. We must
max them see that we are as honest
as they are and that our views are
right. At this late day, the ia
seems ]gigantidF but it is not hopeless.
II ever there should be a campaign of
education it is now"
During the call Of the roll of dele
gates there were enthusiastic and pro.
tracted cheers when the name of Will
lam G. Whitney was reached and a
demonstration of almost equal feryor
greeted the name of David 5. Hill a
few minutes later.
The convention will certainly de
clare that the present gold standard
IN the country should be preserved
until such time as there could be oh
tained an international agreement for
bimetalllsm. At the same time the
leaders OF the party will postpone the
selection of presidential electors until
the fall convention of the party. The
delegates at large to be selected are
Roswell T. Flower, David 3. Hill. Ed
ward Murphy and Frederick R. Cou-
dert.

A most effective remedy for sheep

Nicotine prepared from tobacco. Own
s-s of sheep generally are using it in
stead Of lime. sulphur and arsenic and
seem unanimous in believing that sheep
ticks and scab will soon be totally ex-
terminated. Nicotine is a deadly poi

dipping does not affect animals. In
this respect it differs from the mineral
poisons. The Skabcura Dip Co. of Chi

nicotine in the world.
