A sick person trying to keep up on mere
stimulating tonics is like any one pretend
ing TO swim while supported by a belt The
instant the support is withdrawn down
you go.
Nearly all diseases result from a deep
seated impairment of the nutritive powers
which cannot be reached by any temporary
exhilaration. The only good that any med
icine can do is to increase your own natural
powers of recovery and make you able to
swim for yourself.
The facilitating weakness, nervousness
and digestive disorder which indicates this
state Of nlal-nutrition can only be overcome
by scientific remedy like DR.. Pierce s
Golden Medical Discovery which acts di-
rectly upon the digestive and blood-tnaking
organs, and effects the tiutritive transforma-
ton of food into rich, healthy blood, which
carries genuine permanent vitality to every
corner of the system.
1t is vastly more nutritious than malt
extracts 1t does not paralyze the nerves,
but feeds them with health. 1t is better
than cod liver oil enu1sions. 1t is assi1ni-

not make fabby useless fat but muscular
strength and healthy nerve-force. 1t is the
only perfect invigorant for corpulent people.

Fall River, September 3.-Up to noon
today Manager Marston of the Fall Riv-
er base ball club had not been notified
that his club had been suspended BY the
National League, as announced in the
morning papers. The suspension as an
nounced was for failure to pay the salary
UP to October 1st of Pitcher Miles Stan
dish, who was drafted from the New York
club in June and injured while at play
two weeks later. President Friedman
would not allow Standish to sign with
Fall River, Manager Marston says, but
loaned at 5000 per month. #
This rate WAS paid until Standish was
injured and the hospital expenses of $50
were also paid. LAST week notice was
sent that $500 per month would be expect-
ed for Standish until October and this
payment has not been made. AS Presf-
dent friedman has the best end of the ar
gument under National League laws,
it is expected q settlement which will
cost something like $500 will probably be
made.

The South Portlands are confident that
they win win this game, so they will
make it very in eresting for the Murphy
Balsams. The Presumpscots are equally
confident Of winning their game, as they
are somewhat elated over their victory of
