SLEIGH MEN CRUEL.
Drivers Of Ice Conveyances
Abuse Their Horses,
KEPT ON A RUN ALL DAY.

Somc Means should he Devised of
Reaching Them Through the Humane
Society OF Rock Island or Davenport
Cause of Much Conn iaint.
Complaint has been made of the
cruelty exhibited by the sleigh dri-
vers who ply the frozen river betwee en-
this city and Davenport. One horse
Is used to a 2-seated conveyance and
the animal is kept on the run from
morning until night between the two
shores. The trip either way is made
In a dash, from two to three minutes
being consumed in the ride from one
shore to the other, and the passenger
or passengers are hardly landed on
one side until away goes the sleigh
back again. the horse being driven on
n Jump almost constantly, the rest
being 81 such short duration at best
that the animal is hardly permitted
TO gain its breath. Aside from the
unnatural strain that attends the
brutal act of the sleighmau. the
horse becomes so oyerheated that
when lull in business permits a
rest it is apt to contract a cold.
Time to Act.
Ii Is high time for the humane
agencies of Rock Island or Daven-
port. or both. to take hold of this
question, for it is cruelty in one of
its worst forms. The object of the
sleighman is not to expedite traffic
between the two cities. The aim to
accommodate the traveller is not the
part Of the hackman or sleigh drivers
makeup. He is simply driving his
horse to death in his eagerness to
get all the dimes he can, and there
should be some concerted plan of
action adopted to put an end to the
outrage.
An ARGUS representative who in
vestigated this matter saw one horse
last evening so fatigued that it
nearly fell down when it reached the
Rock Island shore after one Of the
runs from the Iowa side, and vet
the driver as soon rs he found pas
senger whipped the overworked
animal up and beat him all the way
back to davenport again. Some of
the sleigh drivers horses have been
ruined for anything else. As soon
rs sleigh is loaded they start out
on n gallop. Notwithstanding their
legs will scarcely carry them. but
with the characteristic fathfulness
OF the equine kingdom they will run
until they drop. and their drivers
will give them no rest until they do.
Stop the cruelty on the river.

GlQdness Comes

N/ith n better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentie efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to constipated condi-
ton OF the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important. in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
Ii in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Fever. Fully one-sixth
of all the deaths that occur in the world are
caused by consumption. And consumption
San be cured. Doctors used to say that il
was incurabIe, but the doctors were merely
mistaken. 1t would be strange if medical
science did not make some progress. Many
things were once considered impossible.
The ocean steamer, the locomotive, the
telegraph and telephone, the phonoeraph,
the electric light-all these were once i'm
possible, and once il was impossible to cure
consumption. That was before the time
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Taken according to directions this standard
remedy will cure % per cent. of all cases of
consumption. Consumption is a disease of
the blood. 1t used TO be considered dis
ease by itself It is not. 1t is caused and
fostered by impurity in the blood. Purify
the blood and restore the healthy action to
the various organs of the body and con-
and loss of vitality in the blood. It is cureG
by purity and richness of the blood-surely,
certainly cured. Those who have consump-
ton or any lingering bronchial, throat or
lung disease, and those who are on the road
to them, have positive remedy at hand.
Any condition of the body that indicates
weakness, any indication of impurity in the
blood, should be attended to at once. Loss
of appetite, loss of flesh, loss of vitality,
nervousness, weakness and unnatural wear
iness, are indications that the body is run
ming down. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes the appetite good, the di
gestion strong. 1t builds rp solid, healthy
flesh and vigorous strength. Thousands of
people have testified that it has really saved
their lives. Some of these testimonials
together with hundreds of things that ev-
erybody ought to know about health and
sickness and medicine, have been enbod-
led in DR.. Pierce's Common Sense Med
