DURING MY LONG ILLNESS THE
death OF my devoted wife occurred. Affiic-
tion thus doubled whelmed my household in
sorrow and sunk us In the depths of woe.
But in the midst of our distress we were
greatly consoled by the unsel1sh, loving at
tentlons and assistance of our neighbors and
friends These acts of human sympathy were
80 numerous. so generous, that to particular
ize them is beyond my capacity. For all
these kindly Offices, all this sympathy, and
al this aid in the hour of our trial my
family wishes to express its heartfelt ac-
acknowledgements and confess its deep sense of
gratitude. To those who SO tenderly laid my
dear wife in her grave. and covered it with
ganizations who manifested their sympathy
by their presence and their neighborly kind
ness by assistance on the occasion of the fu-
neral desire thus publicly to return nay
thanks and invoke upon them blessings.

No Orders Received to Place 1t on a
War Footing.
Governor Budd was asked yesterday
if orders had been received from Wash
ington relative to having the National
Guard placed in condition for immedi-
ate service, and he replied that there
had not.
Adjutant- General Barrett states,
however, that the National Guard of the
State could be placed in the field on
short notice and in effective condition.
He says there are f. 200 men in the serv-
ice, besides two naval battalions of 100
men each, all well-trained and equipped.
All these men could be placed in the
field in thirty hours.
There is DO doubt he says, that If
necessity demanded Il we could increase
our National Guard to $4,000 by very
little recruiting. In this State 203,OOO
men are subject to drafting and military
duty. So it is seen that California could
put large force in the field on a very
short notice"

Fever. Fully of1e-sixth
of all the deaths that occur in the world are
caused by consumption. And consumption
can be cured. Doctors used to say the It
was incurable, but the doctc~3 were mt
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 phonograph,
the electric light-all these were once i'm
possible, and once ii 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 or
consumption. Consumption is disease OF
the blood. 1t used to be considered dis
ease by itself 1t is not. 1t is caused ana
fostered by inpurity in the blood. Purify
the blood and restore the healthy action to
the various organs of the body and con-
sumption will be cured. 1t Is by weakness
and loss of vitality In the blood 1t is cured
by purity and richness of the blood-sureiy,
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 impapty in the
blood, should be attended to at once. Loss
of appetite, loss of flesh, loss OF vitality,
nervousness, weakness and unnatural wear
mess, are indications that the body 10 run
ming down. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes the appetite good, the d.
gestiou strong 1t builds up solid, healthy
flesh and vigorous strength. Thousands OF
people have testified that 1t 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 emood-
led in DR.. Pierce's Common Sense Med.
