luc Dauue1 or QedLu. II is the simplest thing in the world to gain and keep health, if men and women only will. For that reason 1t is almost incredi- ble that men and women will continue to neglect their health even after they must realize that they are marching under the banner of death.
 The great majority of diseases have their inception in indigestion biliousness and impure blood. Among these diseases art deadly consumption, nerve tracking, brain wrc cking nervous pr0stration and exhaus- tion, body y-torturing rheumatism, insanity breeding neuralgia, enlaciating malaria and all manner of disfguring blood and skin diseases. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery is cure for all these diseases, if taken in anything like reasonable time. It is not a cure all. but cures the diseases men, toned for the reason that they are caused and aggravated by the same disorders It makes the appetite keen, the digestion per feet the liver active, the blood pure and builds firm flesh and healthy nerve fiber. Don't be wheedled by penny grabbing dealer into taking something else.
 "Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery cured me of severe case of poisoning of the blood !" writes Mrs Selia Riccs of Coast Santa Cruz CO Cal. " Boils, one after another, would break out on my arms, and were very painful I have tried the loudly praised sarsa parillas without any benefit whatever, and not until l took the Discovery did get yell. That was two years ago, and I have not had a boil or sore of any kind since"

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
 INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of femaleweakness are invited topromptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are re- ceived, opened, read, and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

Stop! Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confding your private ills to 8 woman-a woman whose ex- perience in treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any living phy- sician, male or female.
 You can talk freely to woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to man; besides, a man does not understand, simply because he is a man.

boys is to drop this business at once
There's nothing in it.-Tribune.
EVIDENTLY our friend of the Tri-
bune is afraid of the ''young crowd" !"
and desires all young men to let him
and the rest of the old mossbacks who
have run republican politics so long,
continue to run things, The DEMO-
Graf would liks to see EVERY young
man take an interest in politics, 1t
is one of their duties az free American
citizens. We do not fear to see the
young and progressive blood inoculated
into politics; it means that live issues
of the day, and not the old, worn out
shuttle-cocks and battle-dore of past
days, will be discussed and UNDER
stood. Young men, study politics;
think for yourselves; vote for your
selves and as you understand the
issues You are lacking in manhood
if. when you become of voting age,
you take your politics from some of
the old fellows who live more in the
past than in the present. The demo:
cratic party welcomes all young and
intelligent men to its rapidly in
creasing ranks. Old fogyism has no
place in democracy's ranks.
