Blood

If the blood in sufficient guam
tty leaves the body because of
a wound or hemorrhage of the
lungs the result is death.
Life depends on the blood
because the blood carries to all
parts of the body the nutritive
elements necessary to sustain it.
What if these nutritive ele-
ments are absent?
What If they are supplanted
by poisonous, effete matter and
disease germs?
The first result is disease-par-
tial death. The final result is the
same as from loss of blood.
All disease is traceable to i'm
purity or weakness of the blood
and that is the reason the
Golden Medical Discovery"
cures so many different diseases
it purifes and vitalizes the
blood-makes it rich, red and
healthy-hlls il with nutriment
for the starving nerves and
tissues.
Consumption is properly a dis
ease of the blood-so is scrofula
so is rheumatism. They look
like different diseases but one
medicine will relieve all three.
liam using a good many of your
medicines in my practice" writes
DR.. Joseph Fike, of Lost Springs,
Marion Co., Kansas. Ten years
ago a patient of mine was badly af-
fected with that dreadful disease,
scrofula. Her mouth and throat
were in an awful condition, and
there were Jumps on the outside be-
low the jaws the size of a hens egg.
Other doctors said it was a fatal case.
1 felt confident that Hone of my
remedies would benefit her any. It
came TO my mind that DIT. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery was rec
commended for such cases so / gave
il to her as directed. Five bottles
cured her and she is well to-day.
She is married now and has three
healthy children"

A Good Year 10 Square Up.

The REGISTER has not made any
special effort to collect the amounts
due it on subscription, for several
years for the reason that times have
been close and money hard to get and
it did not want to put any subscriber
to inconvenience. During these
years there has not been a day when
we were not paying interest on debts
that we could have settled in full If
the sums due on subscription had
been paid, but we preferred to do it
rather than impose hardship upon
our friends.
This year. however. the crops are
good, everybody has money, and
there doesn't seem to be any good
reason why every account on the
REGISTERS books should not be
brought up to date, or pushed a year
or two ahead. Beginning with Octo-

sent to all subscribers in arrears with

County, Penn, in 1856. He early
evinced a marked inclination for the
consumption of victuals. and while
the direction has changed the ten
dency seems undated. The year
selected for his initial appearance
seems to have been intended to pre-
clude membership in the G.. A. II.
but carefully calculated to allow sd-
mission into the ). of V. His fatheE
was soldier in F. company, Tooth.
Pennsylvania Vol. Infantry, and
later surgeon at Port Royal, South
Carolina, and captain in the 1st. s.
G. Colored Inf. Vols, under Colonel
T. w. Higginson.
From 1854 to 1871 Mr.. Randolph
lived mostly on Port Royal, Hilton
Head, and Edisto Islands, ). c. de-
voting himself largely to the shrimp
and hard-shell crab fishing industries
and during this period he usually de-
voured the products of his own efforts
together with what he could safely
accumulate from the result of his
neighbours toll.
During 1870 and just prior to the
battle of Sedan, Mr.. Randolph began
to develop a marked prediction for
fresh Goober peas and done yams.
He never before having displayed any
desire to obtain an education, his sur.
viving parent, out of the abundance
of precaution, brought him to Kansas
Since reaching this State Mr. Ran
dolph has been actively engaged in
