Some people in tie world persist in
cliugiug to cid methods. There are men
who still use a forked stick III place of
modern plow. There are also men, who,
when they are troubled with disorde-ed
stomach or liver, resort to the old-fastioiIed
violent remedies that rack and 1end the
whole body, and while they give temporary
relief, in the long run do the entire system
q great amount of harm.
Modern science has discovered remedies
infinitely superior to these old-fashIored
drugs. that do their work by promoting the
natural processes of excretion and secre-
ton ard gently correcting all circulatory
disturbances. When a man feels generally
out of sorts, when he loses sleep at night.
when he gets up headaciey and with bad
taste IN his mouth IL, the. morning, when he
feels dull and lethargic all day, when his
appetite is poor and his food distresses
kim, wilen work comes hard ard recreation
is an i.npossibility, that man, though he
NAV not believe it, is pretty sick man.
He is on the road 10 consumption, nervous
prostration, malaria, or some serious blood
disease. In cases Of this description man
should resort at once to Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. Il is the best medicine
for a weak stomach, impaired digestion
and disordered liver. II is the great blood
maker and purifier, fiesh-builder and nerve
tonic 1t cures e3 per cent. of all cases OF
consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs
and kindred ailments. Thousands have

From the Chicago Post.
One of the most noteworthy utter
ances of the German press in regard
to the effect of our present war with
Spain is that of the vorwaerts, the
chief Social Democrat organ in Ber-
lin. After 'ikening our declaration
Of war to the throwing of a stone
"into the putrid swamp of European
politics, it says:
The great republic on yonder side
of the ocean, without castle, mobiles OF
standing army, has suddenly sprung
out of her position of neutrality to
Europe, and one European state
which has slaughtered myriads OF
men wrestling for freedom is IN
done. Old Europe in consequence
is shaken to its foundations by a new
power-no militarism, no huge feet
yet mighty, overwhelmingly
mighty, elemental power.
In Asl0 the same phenomenon Oc-
CURED. The new power became the
tongue of the scales. Even if the talk
Of alliance with England comes to
nothing the new American position
In the far East crosses every combina
ton hitherto effected.
The importance of this lies in the
fact that it represents the views of the
thinking masses of Germany and
does not EN- anate from the court. II
sees that there is something working
on their Continent far removed from
the politics and intrigues of European
courts and that bids defiance to ali
their schemes Of conquest and ag,
grandizement.
