The old man who looks out at the
world with clear and healthy eyes can
not help feeling great qualification at
the thought that his children have in
herited from him no weakness or ten
dency to disease. The healthy old
man is the man who has throughout
his life kept his digestion good and his
blood pure. Not one in a thousand do
it. Germs go through the healthy
body without effect Let them once
fad lodgment or find weak spot, and
they will develop by the million and
the blood will be full of them Instead
of giving Strength to the tissues it will
force upon them innutritious matter,
and the man will lose flesh and the
more susceptible he is to disease. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the only medicine that absolutely and
infallibly cures all blood diseases, and
almost all diseases are blood diseases.
1t isn't a medicine for some one So
called disease. 1t is medicine for the
whole body. 1t forces out all the
germs of disease. and replaces impuri-
ties with rich, red blood

me 1t was morning"
Z a considerable interval of silence follow
ed these words. Then the coroner asked:
DO you know anything else that can
help us 10 find out who committed this
crime2"
Nothing. 1 was not allowed to leave
my bed during that day. / only know that
my brother is innocent. That should be
clear to everyone"

had quarreled?''
They had disagreed, but never to the
point of violence, or near It. Even when
my brother first came home, a year ago.
and when he-when his habits were not al
ways such as my father approved there
was never a moment when 1 had cause to
1ear that Will would 50 far forget himself
My brother is a gentleman, sir, as every
man of my family has been, so far as 1
know.
When you speak OF your brothers
habits" said the coroner, you mean that
he vas intemperateT
"it is true. L sorry to say. That was
the cause of his leaving home. But his an
petite was a disease Of which he has been
cured. He is now entirely recovered"
She spoke proudly of her brother though
8 there was in fact little enough to say In
his favor. He had run away from home
i've years before. and had led, by all ac-
counts, wild life in the west. Somewhat

that amount to-"
Why. 1t seems to me that the time of
the murder is approximately fixed by the
