Disease makes a man just as helpless as if he were tied with ropes. Weary .iassitude makes his muscles useless-slug
 gish circulation of impure blood fills his brain with useless clogging matter. Ef- fort is distastef,tl and brings scant results. The trouble usually starts with the diges- ton. Too much brain work takes needed blood from stomach to head and retards i. the ,stomaeh's work. The body is not fed. The nerves rebel. Sleep becomes :, a stranger. Loss of appetite is followed by loss of flesh--and all for the want of the right medicine at the right time. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is for the man who is losing flesh and vitality. It is for the man whose digestion needS help and whose nerves and brain are overworked. It is the greatest of all tonics. No matter what seems to be your trouble, the "Golden Medical Discovery" will cure it. It cures by making the blood pure, rich and plenty, and by fur nishing food for nerves and brain. Noth- ing has ever been found to equal it, but dishonest druggists sometimes try to make you believe that something more profitable to them is l" just as good" Do not be deceived. Get what you ask for. i Constipation if neglected brings with 1t atrain of na1adies that unfit the sufferer for either the duties or pleasures of fife Sick and bilious head
 aches and multitude.of other ills are due to con- stipation. Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets cure con- stipatiou promptly and permanently. Druggists sslhthem.- Nothing else is just the same"

OF course. the reasons above given

whatever, was experienced in securing
a lease of the range for another year
and the officials at jefferson Barracks
have, for month or more past, had
the written agreement of every one of
the property holders consentiug 10 a

that the other reasons given by the

diculOus. Of course, the crowd that

ness against the Valley would not hes
itate to do anything to accomplish their
