EOUND DEAD.

Why did he do it? He had everything
to live for,-happy home, wife, friends,
money; but he shot himself through the
heart. Whyl
He couldn't have given a good reason
himself But everything looked gloomy
to him. He was in gloomy frame of mind.
1t was the way he looked at life that day.
He had been living in too much of hurry,
rushing and driving at business, hustling
through his meals, cutting short his sleep.
His nerves got on edge; his stomach and
liver got out of order; he grew dyspeptic
and melancholy.
When the digestion Is out of order there
is little use trying to look on the bright side
of things, practically there isn't any bright
side. This is dangerous condition to get
into. Yet it is easy to get into and mighty
hard to get out of it, unless you 60 about it
in the right way.
There is remedy that has pulled thou
despair. 1t is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t acts directly upon the stom-
ach and liver. 1t restores their natural
capacity to norrish and purify the system.
1t purges away bilious poisons, feeds the
nerve-centres with healthy, highly vitalized
blood, and drives out the blue devils " of
melancholy and nervousness.
]. l.. Warner No. 1900 Street, Sacramento,
Cal, writes " During the last five years l have
been doctoring with as many as six different doc
tors here and in San Francisco for diseased stom-
ach; but none of the doctors gave me even tenn
porary relief Two years ago completely col
iapsed, and had to give up all work. / have felt
many times that would like to leave this world.
In looking over the ads III the San Francisco
Examiner ran across yours, and now owe my
life and present good health to DR. Pierce's med
icines. / have taken fourteen bottles of the
Golden Medical Discovery and four little walls
of Pleasant Pellets and am entirely well of
all stomach trouble. Can sleep nine hours every
MICH and am now ready to 60 to work again"

THE SURPRISE OF All,

Mr.. James Jones, Of the drug firm OF
Jones IL Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking
OF DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pena
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav-
ing DIR. Kings New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of 1t, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise Of all she be-
gan to get better from first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her eound
and well. DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds is guar
anteed to do this good work. Try 1t. Free
trial bottles at any drug store.

A CLOSE CALL.

Last Friday night between the hours
of eight and nine o'clock, Mr.. Ed Pas

pistol, which sent ball whistling
through his store window, just over his
head. Mr.. Pascal conducts a general
merchandise business in Marks Greek

when the shot was fired. Had not Mr..
