Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
prove an unfailing means of rescue and
restoration.
1t is a very simple though eminently
scientific medicine. 1t is not a mere slim
ulant like so many malt extracts. 1t re-
stores healthy power by reviving the in
nermost sources of vitality i'll the nutritive

good blood abundantly and rapidly so
that the immense waste of tissue and nerve

a speedy upbuilding of fresh energy and
strength.

IT is DECLARED INVALID
INSPECTION FEATURE OF TIE SOUTH
CAROLINA LIQUOR LAW.
regulation Of Original Package Sales, Valid
Decision Of U. S. Supreme Court
Shras and McKenna Dissent.

Washington, d. c., May 9.-In the
United States Supreme court to-day the
South Carolina liquor law was again
made the subject of decision which was
handed down by Justice White. The
State dispensary law having been amend
ed since the recent decisions holding it
invalid tO-day's decision deals with the
new law This law attempted to elimin-
ate the feature of the old law discrlmlna-
ting against other States in the shipment
of liquor to individuals for their own
use in South Carolina, but while this in
hibition was eliminated and the privilege
restored in the new law, it was coupled
with conditions of inspection which 1t
was claimed still amounted to diScrimina-
ton. The court in to-day's decision ac-
cepted this view of the case, holding
that the inspection provision of the law
was tantamont TO Il denial Of the right
of Interstate commerce and therefore
antagonistic to the Constitution of the
United States. The court held, however,
that the portion of law regulating the
sale of original packages within the State
was valid. The decision was rendered in
the case of Vance and Scott VS.. the
Vandercook Company, of California.
The decision in the United States Circuit
court for South Carolina, was in favor
of the California company. The Opin-
ion rendered to-day had the effect of
affirming this opinion in part and re-
versing it in part, and the case was re-
manded with instructions to proceed ac-
cordingly.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Shiras
and Mckenna dissented as to the pOr-
tion of the opinion reversing any part of
the decision of the court below. They
took the position that the law in it's en-
tirety is in violation of the Constitution,
and that the opinion antagonistic to it,
should be sutained.
The court reversed the opinion of the
Circuit court for South Carolina in the
case dealing with the seizure of liquors
shipped into South Carolina by Wander
cook & Company, on the ground that
the court had no jurisdiction.
