The majority of diseases begin with some
trouble Of the digestive organs or of the
liver. which prevents the supply Of proper
nourishment to the system. The best
remedy for these troubles is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, because it gives
the digestive and blood making organs
power to assimilate food and transform It
into pure, nourishing blood, vitalized with
an abundance of red corpuscles.
II acts directly upon the liver and gives
it capacity to filter all bilious impurities
out of the circulation. It builds up solid,
muscular flesh and healthy nerve force.
In obstinate constipation the Discoy-

DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the most nat
ural and thoroughly scientific laxative ever
devised The pellets " regulate and in
vigorate the stomach, liver and bowels.

MORRIS BAER,s HEAVY DOSE.
Took Forty Grains of Bismuth, But
His Life Was Saved.

Morris Baer took forty grains of bismuth
and opium last night, and the physicians
wondered last night why it did not kill him,
as three grains is an ordinary dose. Baer
is a stranger in the city, and has been
stopping at Emrich's. BY profession he is
a nurse, employed at Mount Siani Hos
pital, New York city, and his knowledge
of medicine and antidotes probably saved
his life. Baer has been in the city for
several days and had been drinking yes
terday, and was not feeling well.
According to his own statement, he is
addicted to the use Of morphine in large
quantities. and it is probable that this is
one reason why the opiate had so little
effect upon him. AS result Of drink, his
hand was unsteady, and he took an over
dose of the opiate In short time he
discovered his mistake, and had presence
of mind enough to inquire the directions
to the Emergency Hospital, and made
haste in getting there

The first lighthouse on Minots Ledge
was built in 1S4S. 1t was an octagonal
tower resting on the tops of eight
wrought iron piles eight inches in di-
ameter and sixty feet high, with their
bases sunk five feet in the rock. These
piles were braced together in many
ways, and, as they offered less surface
to the waves than a solid structure,
this lighthouse was considered by all
authorities upon the subject to be ex-
ceptionally strong.
