A doctor can tell you exactly what he
thinks Is the matter with you. II he fully
realized just one great truth he would come
nearer TO doing this. The thing he doesn I
fully appreciate Is the fact that the man with
pure blood and good digestion can never
have anything very serious the matter with
him. If you get your blood in good condi-
ton, and keep il rich, and pure and whole
some, you will thereby cure almost any dis
ease with which mankind are afflicted A
sewer may be pretty dirty but if YOU keep
continually flushing il with pure water, YOU
WILL eventually get it clean. The body may be
full of impurities but in the natural course
of events these impurities will be eXcreted
and, If they are not replaced by other i'm
purities the body will become pure and
healthy. If you continually pump pure,
rich blood into a diseased organ, the disease
will gradually disappear and soundness and
health of the tissues will be restored.
That is the theory and that is the actual
result of the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. II doesn't make any
difference what your doctor calls your dis
ease, the Golden Medical Discovery " will
cure it and it will cure il by making the
blood pure and rich, by stimulating the di-
gestive organs, invigorating the liver, and
by soothing and strengthening the nerves
II is the most wonderful blood maker and
flesh builder that has ever been known 1t
is the most successful medicine of its kind
that was ever prepared.
Sometimes in connection with the Golden
Medical Discovery tits wise tC take a few Of DR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are the only pos
tive and permanent cure for constipation. and as
long as constipation II present health cannot be
fully restored. Frequently the Pellets are all
that are needed One is gentle laxative a nd two
a mild cathartic. They are perfectly natural 10

New York, Dec. 26.--The Press pub
fishes the following from its Washing
ton correspondent: "Senator Morgan
is convinced of the existence of CON
spiracy in Hawaii To restore Liliuokal-
ami. The reports that the treaty of
annexation is doomed To defeat, he
believes, have encouraged the natives
in an effort against the Doe republic.
The Hawaiian delegation IN Washing
ton working against the the treaty do
not deny their purpose of restoring the
monarchy if possible. The Alabama
senator promises TO lay many startling
facts IN his possession before the senate
in executive session.
The plans of the Hawaiian annexa-
tionists have not been matured fully.
except in the purpose to accomplish,
by Joint resolution, that which in the
treaty may be defeated. The friends
of the treaty are not ready to press it
to vote. 1t is certain, therefore, that
no action will be taken until late IN
the session. The opponents of the treaty
deride the report of monarchical plots
and take no stock Whatever in the al
legged purpose of Englan or Japan to
seIze the Hawaiian islands, or establish
IA protectorate there.
Annexation is to have the support OF
the administration, President McKln-
ley is determined, If possible, TO carry
out the policy inaugUrated by Gen.
Harrison. He feels that the republican
party is committed to annexation in
its platform declarations, and that hay-
ing taken stand before the civilized
world it will not do to retreat or per-
nit the islands to pass under other con
troll. Should there be a revolt againsl

should it be discovered that foreign in
