WHICH ORIGINATE IN
THE STOMACH MUST BE CURED
THROUGH THE STOMACH"

This would seem To be a Self-eVident
proposition. Take an illustration in
the flower garden at your home. There's
a rose for example. Its leaves begin to
curl, its petals to droop, it does not
grow. You know that the life of the
plant comes from the soil. It's in the
soil you must look for the cause of the
failing rose tree. You can give the
rose a supporting stan, a crutch to lean
on, but while this supports the rose it
won't save it. 1T still drOops and weak
ems. Go down into thc.soil search out
the cause at the roots. It's from the soil
that the flower gets its nourishment, its
life, its strength, its color In the soil
lies the secret of it's disease. What the
soil is TO the plant the blood Is to the
body-thc source of vitality, II is
from the blood that come the strength
of body, brightness OF brain clearness
Of complexion, which are the supreme
signs of health. And the blood out of
which the, whole physical fabric of the
body is built is manufactured in the
laboratory of the stomach and its as

filled In fearful wrestling match with
the monster Disease on the edge OF
the precipice of death.
The trouble Is that people in this con-
dition are often content to seek some
palliative, some tablet or other. which
will relieve the immediate trouble.
This merely hides the symptoms. 1t
temporarily stops the manifestation of
disease but it does nothing to cure the
ailment. A man might as well suppose
that he could stop the flight of time by
stopping his watch, as to imagine he
has stopped disease by stopping it's
symptoms.
The need in such condition is a
radical remedy, a remedy which will
begin with the cause Of the trouble and
reach out to the various effects. The
need is of a remedy which can be
counted on to cure, and in curing to re-
establish the entire system on sound
basis of health. To provide such a
medicine as this many physicians have
tried and one physician has succeeded.
1t has been the pleasure of DIR. II. V.
Pierce, chief consulting physician to
the lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical lnsti-
tute. of Buffalo. n. Y, to have devised

that healing preparation, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. The sue
cess of this medicine in curing diseases
of the stomach and alimentary and nu-
titive system, places it above every
known remedy available to the sick
and suffering The action of this rem
edy is entirely philosophic, Its ingredi-
ents, carefully sought in years Of pa
tient experiment and compounded with
regard to their Alternative properties,
properties which give the Discovery
the power to alter or change the NOR
bid OF unhealthy condition of the sew
eral organs upon which the health of
the entire body depends. Experiment
and experience have established the
fact that n large percentage of diseases
have their origin in deranged Condi-
ton of the stomach, the organs OF di-
gestion and nutrition and the blood
making glands. 1t was found that af-
fcctions of the liver, the lungs, the

DREAMS WHICH come TRUE
People Who Are "Warned
i'm a Dream"
Dreams are true while they last
And do we not live in dreams?

There are people who believe that
every dream has some peculiar and
personal significance. Whenever they
dream they consult a dream book to
find whether the things dreamed of
were favorable or unfavorable to their
fortunes. There are other matter-of-
fact people who refer dreams to physi-
cal conditions, who ascribe them as
did Solomon to "the multitude of af-
fairs" or in a more modern spirit TO
deranged stomach. These people have
dream book, too. It's title is the
Peoples Common Sense Medical Ad-
wiser. And when they dream they turn
the pages of Dr. Pierce's famous work
to find out what the cause of the dis
turbed condition is, and what they must
do to correct 1t. They realize that
healthful sleep is a dreamless sleep.
and in so far as the sleep is broken by
dreams, so far there are physical con-
ditions unfavorable to health. A path
illogical consideration of dreams would
reveal that In certain cases dreams of

Discussing the PHILIPPINE question
the Japanese press generally favors
the retention of the islands by the
United States. There would be no
objection to their transfer to Great
Britain
Japan's interests, however, forbid
their passing into the hands of Ger

Power Tn any event, the japanese

impossible.

Tt begins TO look as though Presi-
dent Dole of the late Hawaiian repub-
lie were to taste the bitterness of in
gratitude. No man has been more in
sistent to regard to the annexation
than he. He has worked, planned,
and plotted for it, in season and out
of season. He has coursed back and
forth over many weary leagues of sea
and land in advancing this project,
and perhaps has contributed more to
its success than any man in our new
dependency only to find as far as
the people Of his capital are concerned
that it is dead sea fruit after all. They
do not want Mr.. Dole to be their gov
ernor. They want that debonnair

The letters followed Mr.. Briggs around

Burlington. Mr. Briggs who has
travelled extensively, was lost track

Oldest son, I. Hull had died at Las
Vegas n. M. on July 19 of consump-
ton. He was born in Hyde Park in
1871, was educated in Hyde Park and
St. Jonnsbury Academy, being in the
class of 1880 in the latter institution.
He began an active business life at an
early age in his fathers Office. He
married Emory daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. L. Goddard in 1898, and leaves
besides his wife, two children, Carroll
and Proctor. His death was not un-
expected, though the end came more
suddenly than was anticipated. Gov.
Page started for New Mexico, Mon
day, but got as far as Chicago when
his son died. Hull's wife and oldest
boy were with him at the end. He
was ayoung man Of much promise and
when a few years ago consumption
attacked his system, he made gallant
and stubborn fight against the pro-
gress of the disease and never lost
his courage until the end.

PROPOSALS FOR PEACE.

Proposals for peace were present
ed to the government by the French
minister in behalf Of Spain last week,
after long sessions by the cabinet for
several days the reply was made that
the United States would not discuss
the terms until Spain's flag is remov-
ed from the West Indies. The President
has made this reply: Spain must with
draw from the western hemisphere
absolutely and without condition, and
as soon as this is done the United
States will be willing to suspend hos
ti!ities while the terms Of permanent
peace are under discussion"
The question of the retention of the
Philippines is left open. Nothing will
be done now to embarrass us in any
plans we may have for the islands in
the future. whether we shall retain all
the Philippines or only a portion of
them will be a matter to be decid ed
when it comes to the framing OF a
treaty. In the meantime Spain can Sc
cure a truce if she will abandon Cuba
and Porto Rico, and trust the future
government to the United States.
Meanwhile the war goes on, and on
Wednesday General Miles received the
surrender of the port of Ponce which
is the principle seaport of Porto Rico
and the second city of the island. The
province of Ponce consists of about
AZ, 900 Inhabitants and the city itself
about 25OOO. The capture was not with
out struggle but without loss to our
army. The Sixth Massachusetts, Reg
iment were the first American troops
to set foot on the island and the first
to shed blood there. In fact, the sur
render Of the province was accom-
plish with very little resistance from
the Spanish, the Porto Ricans being
in sympathy with the United States
in the efforts to clean the Weat Indies
from further Spanish rule. The army
will march on San Juan and the island
will be ours in a very short time after
our soldiers arrive within shooting
distance of that city. Attacked from
the rear by our troops and bombarded
from the front by the heavy guns
from our ships the capture will pro-
ably be made on the some lines as
that Of Santiago.

HOBSON'S RETURN.

Lieutenant HobSOn was the bearer
of important messages from Admiral
Sampson to the Navy Departmentlast
week, and on his arrival in Washing
ton until the moment ofhis departure
for New York and Boston, he was the
center of attraction from high officials
down to. the humble clerk in the de-
partments in that city. Mr.. Hobson's
appearance in Washington was also
to give his opinion to the Navy De-
partment as to the feasibility of rails
ing some of the sunken ships off San.
tiago, so that they might be restored
and added to our own navy. The De-
partment was impressed with the
plans proposed and Hobson was sent
to the Merritt Wrecking Co. in New
York with power to arrange any
further details with that company to-
wards carrying out his plan. The
New Workers gave him grand recep-
ton but it was not until he reached
Boston that the climax was reached.
Crowds blocked the streets in that
city wherever Lieut.. Hobson went
and stood for hours around the build
in which he was making arrangements
for carrying out the plans he pro-
posed. The Boston papers speak Of
the event as one of the most
patriotic displays ever ac-
corded anyone who came to
that city, and old bankers and bust
ness men Of State street struggled in
the crowd to catch glimpse of the
most fearless man in the United States
Navy. This demonstration has not
tnrned Hobson's head we are glad to
say, and his quiet demeanor through
allh has made everyone admire him
