When the appetite fails there is no use in
| trying to tempt the palate with delicate food
No matter how good and well-cooked and
.appetizing F" the food may be, it cannot
give any nounshment unless the stomach is
able to digest it. Nature indicates the state
of the constitution by the loss of appetite
This IS an unfailing indicator. It shows
| that something is fundamentally wrong
with the nutritive functions.
The only true natural relief must be as
searching and fundamental Ss the trouble it
aims to overcome. 1t is the thorough Deep
searching character of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which causes the mar

difficulties. It creates that hea1thful vitality
OF the entire digestive and nutritive organ
ism which produces both the natural desire

late and transform it into nourishing, reviv-
flying blood and healthy tissue. It gives
appetite, digestion and sound sleep, and
builds up solid muscular strength and
vital nerve energy

HOW To FIND OFT.

Fill bottle or common glass with

sediment or settling indicates an un-

THROUGH THE CLOUDS.

If like Joseph's kline we are to
have seven fat years and seven lean
ones, the fat years are due to ar
rive, to borrow phrase from the
transportation lines, very soon;
for the Barring crisis in 1890 was
the turning point il the CONNER
ci2l world. The down turn was
sharply accelerated in this country
in 1898, but the world wide dc
preston began here as elsewhere
in 1890.
1t is not easy to say what caused
it; but if we attribute it to the
paralyzing shock that the Barring
trouble brought to over trading,
over manufacturing, over specula-
ton, we shall not be far from the
truth. The world-this part Of
it in particnlar-Ras under Il high
pressure, every scheme was prom
ising and everybody apparently
prosperous. The great and sud
den London disaster, springing
from over confidence in Argentina,
startled thoughtful men, aud from
that day in 1890 distrust began 10
creep in, und disasters to follow
Only the ignorant, OF knavish
in politics, ascribe such wide
spread business depression to
tariff bills, currency bills or other
form of legislation. Confidence
among business men received a
staggering blow, and is not itself
again.
Will it be in the near future,
Are seven fat years about to bc
begun?
These questions are trifc too
hard. Definite answers should not
be expected. All know, however,
that periods of depression have
heretofore been followed by pc
riods of activity, and no one can
say that the business world of to-
day differs in any essential respect
from the business world of past
times. All know, too, that we
are harvesting great wheat crop,
and that the world crop of bread
making grain is again short. All
hope, too, that great crops of corn
and cotton will be added by sun
shine and rainfalls.
Perhaps the answer should be
put in this way so far as the coun-
try is concerned: The economy
and selfsdenial of seventy millions
of people are, at the close of seven
lean years about to be reinforced
by splendid crops, and the grand
result may be, not good times,
but better times, with a chance
that confidence will come limp
ingly back to stay with us seven
years, becoming each year more
effective and fruitful.
