LONG DIsTANCE sTEAMING.
strated That They Are Good
Ocean Travellers.

The recent performances of the
United States battleship Oregon and
TIE gunboat Marietta in steaming
from high up along the North Ameri-
can coast around Cape Horn to the
West Indies have very properly chal-.
lengcd the admiration OF the whole
world, says Casters Magazine. Until
quite recently much more had been
heard cf the failings of warships than
of their good points, and one was al
most tempted to believe that the av-
erage modern naval vessel was so deli
cately constructed and so complex a
piece of machinery as to be scarcely
fitted 20 withstand in due measure
the rough usages of war or the knock
ing about of a protracted sea voyage
under the pressure Of high speed and
with all kinds of weather. When sew
eral years ago the United States cruis-
er Columbia crossed over from South
ampton to Sandy Hook, at the en-
trance 10 New York harbor, in little
less than seven days, racing SUCCESS
fully against one of the crack ocean
liners, her performance stood unpar-
alleled in naval history. It bordered
in fact, on what had long been con-
sidered impossible. What the Oregon
and the Marietta have done, however,
is a worthy counterpart of that earlier
magnificent performance, and admir-
ably demonstrates what may be ac-
complished by good engineering, even
when subject to the exacting condi-
tions of naval restrictions.

have to be a physician to understand the
causes Of impure blood, or its lar-rcaching
effects When a mans digestion is disor-
dcred, his liver sluggish, his bowels mac
tive, the blood is deprived of the proper
food elements, and the sluggish liver and
bowels supply in their place, the foulest
of poisons. The blood IS the life-stream.
When it is full of foul poisons, 1t carries
and deposits them in every organ and its-
sue Of the body. Bone, sinew, muscle, and
flcsh-tissre the brain cells and the nerve
fibres are all fed upon bad poisonous food.
Serious ill-health is bound TO result The
man is weakened in every fiber of his body.
lie is weakened physically mentally and
morally. He suffers from sick headache,
distress in stomach after meals, giddiuess
and drowsiuess, loss Of appetite and sleep,
bad taste in the mouth, shakiness in the
morning, and dullness throughout tire day,
and lassitude and an indisposition to work
Sooner or later these conditions develop
consumption, nervous prostration, malaria,
rheumatism or some blood or skin disease.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery IS
the best of all known medicines for ambi-
tious, hard-working men and women. It is
the great blood-maker and hesh-builder
II makes the appetite keen and hearty, and
the digestion and assimilation perfect the
liver active. the blood pure and rich, the
nerves steady. the body vigorous and the
brain alert Where shere is also coustipa-
ton DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be
used. Both Of these great medicines are
