fit Of the hospital ought to be largely

most worthy charity and has become
a necessity to this section.

How much property a man will leave
when he dies depends largely upon his
health. The man who suffers from ill
health stands little show of being a sue
cessfiil business man The man who comes
70 his desk in the morning with a head
ache, who suffers all day from dullness and
drowsiness who goes to his meals without
an appetite and tosses restlessly through
the night without sleep, is not likely to
leave a competence for his widow and or
phans. Success is even more dependent
upon health than upon ability.
Few men realize these truths. They
think that everything can be accomplished
by work, and that health is secondary
consideration. Work Is useless unless 1t is
good work, and good work is never done
save by thoroughly healthy man, Dr.
Piefce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
best OF all health restorers and health pre-
servers. II makes the stomach strong and
active. II sends a man to his meals thor
oughly hungry every time. II facilitates
the How Of digestive juices and makes as
similation perfect II invigorates the liver
life-giving elements of the food 1t is the
great blood maker and flesh builder. 1t
tears down inert, half. dead tissues and
builds new, hrm, muscular flesh. 1t does
not build habby fat like cod liver oil ard
does not make people more corpulent.
Mr. John Brooks, OF Boylston Mass, writes: "I

ceived from Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry was taken with bad cold which settled

BY his quick wit and pluck stephen
Mabey, an 1l-year-old River street boy,
probably saved the life of his 14-year-
old sister. Florence. yesterday. The
two children with another sister were
walking along the canal bank in the
rear of Van Bergen & Co.'S plumbing
shop, when the little girl who was run
ming along the bank fell in. Her
brother without a moments hesitation
jumped into the water and with little
difficulty succeeded in getting her out
of her dangerous position. The canal
is banked up several feet at this point
and just now the water is unusually
deep. 1t flows along at quite a rapid
speed and if the lad had not acted
promptly his sister would have ueen
whirled under the Van Bergen building
where a child was drowned a few
years ago.
