menaces not only travellers but stay at =.
homes. Its name is indigestion. 1t slowly
undermines the supports that hold up the
bridge of life and yearly precipitates untold
thousands into the dread valley of consump.

caution they can avoid this calamity and
even remedy it after it has occurred if they
will act in time.
All cases of indigestion and every disease
that has its inception in indigestion or faulty
nutrition are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t cures 90 per cent. of
all cases of consumption. 1t cures wasting
diseases. It is an unfailing remedy for nerv-
Gus prostration. 1t is the great blood maker,
fesh-builder, and nerve tonic. Thousands
have testified to its merits. There is nothing

NORFOLK DRUGGISTS VIEWS.
Convinced the Laurel Body il That O.

convinced the Laurel Body fs That of
His Former Clerk.
A Star reporter yesterday talked with
Mr.. James E. Scott, druggist, by whom
Gift was last employed, while the latter
was in Norfolk. Mr.. Scott said he was
firmly convinced that the remains were
those of his former clerk. Gift
4 did not employ Cliff permanently
said Mr.. Scott, but simply had him as a
relief clerk and to collect bills. He was a
smart man, and good druggist. On Sun
day afternoon, August 1, Cliff, at my re-
quest, took charge of my store for a>few
hours, with the understanding that he
would remain on duty until q o'clock p. m.
and went home to get some much-needed
rest. Shortly before that hour l returned
to my store and was greatly surprised to
find a friend in charge
meanwhile, Cliff had disappeared, and,
as subsequently discovered, carried off all
the money he had taken in for sales dur
ing the afternoon, amounting to S. or 81.
he mad also abandoned the store, in which
Unprotected condition it had been found
by my friend above referred to-
i also learned the next day that Gift
was seen to take an Ocean View train, and
tnat ne went in that way to Old Poin.
Where he took the steamer for Washing
ton, since which time no trace of him. SO
1ar as am aware. has been obtained"
Mr.. Scott added that he could think of no
reason why any one should wish to mur-
DER Gift, and believed he committed sui
eide.
Dissenting View.
AT McDonald's drug store in the same
city where Cliff was employed for nearly
the whole of his residence in Norfolk; The
star reporter was informed that there was
an impression among those who knew Gift
well that he is still alive, and that the
finding of the bill heads of Mr.. Scott and
other papers, which seemed to indicate
that there was no doubt of the remains
6e-ng those of Gift, was part of a plan
devised by Gift to deceive his wife as to
his wher eabouts
On on the day that Cliff disappeared from
Norfolk, the gentleman said. Mrs. Gift
was i'll in bed. Cliff babe his wife
good-bye, saying that he was going
down town and would be back to dinner
lie did not return, and no one in Norfolk
SO lar as is known, has since had any in
formation about him
Chft left his wife in a destitute condi-
ton, the gentleman said, and but for
friends she would have suffered. Finally.
her friends raised a sum of money for her
ana she was sent to the home of her pa
rents in Baltimore
