To the Interested Public:

DEE'EA AT-We have lost our case,
for the courts have decided
against the legality of the Washington
Trading Stamp Co. Like good General,
we take our defeat gracefully, though we
are sorry that this deprives us Of an oppor-
tunity to give you some useful and beau
tiful article in exchange for those stamps.
We bow to the inevitable and to the WIS
dom Of the Judge who has SO decided. But
we made you a promise to redeem IN cash
every green stamp issued by US. We are
now ready to live up to that promise.
Bring your stamps and books to US and
those that compare with the stamps We
have issued will receive cash for same.
More we cannot do, and more you do not
expect Of us.
Some merchants may find great
pleasure in the verdict rendered, because
they were not among the patrons Of the
Washington Trading Stamp Co. We have
always been known as leaders in Wash
ington-alWays the first to share val
ues and profits with you whenever we
could The Washington public has stood
by us nobly during our fight for their
rights, and the many encouraging express
sions received from thousands of our pa
irons, unsolicited, and our plucky endeavor
to have our rights satiated, stimulated
US to secure the very best legal talent to
fight our battles and yours.

ton If the blood is pure and the tissues
sound and healthy, the deadly germs of
consumption are harmless. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the great
blood purifier and tissue builder. 1t makes
the liver active, the digestion perfect, and
the appetite keen. 1t drives out all disease
germs and builds solid, healthy flesh.
There is another and graver danger that
threatens woman in the marital relation.
It is the peril that attends maternity. No
woman can safely become mother who
suffers from weakness or ill-health of the
delicate organs that bear the burdens of
child bearing. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription robs maternity of its unnatural
terrors. 1t makes woman strong and Wig
orous where she most needs strength and
vigor 1t banishes the arnoyances of the
period of anticipation and makes the little
strangers advent easy and almost painless.
Good druggists sell both the g Golden Med
ical Discovery and the Favorite Pre-
scription and will not try to substitute in
ferior preparations.

pelvis and hurting in my back and loins, espe
cially whenever exposed myself or took cold, !"

Bilious attacks and constipation are
surely, speedily and permanently cured by
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They regu
late and invigorate stomach, liver and bow
