Van Buren, people should have shown

nesday. A few signs of encouragement
are most cheering to men in their
positions.
Fakirs of all kinds are now holding
forth in the city, fleeing the gullible
into buying their worthless prepar-
ations. 1t is strange, but yet truth
that a large proportion of the American
public likes to be humbugged and is
willing to pay for it. People who can
motor would not-raise so cents to pay
an honest debt can easily rake up q
dollar to give to one of these gentry for

are the natural home of game fish, but

soon kill off what so far has escaped, as
the small fry suffers most from such

Fishing for Health.

When a man breaks down with that
dread disease, consumption, and recognizes
his condition, he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing and that thing.
He consults this doctor and that doctor.
He INDUCES in all kinds of absurd athletic
exercises. He tries first one climate and
then another. He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. He grows steadily worse.
That is the story of most consumptives.
Finally, when the consumptive dies, the
doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces
consumption incurable A thirty years.
test of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has demonstrated that it cures %
per cent of all cases of consumption, If
taken in the earlier stages of the disease,
before the lungs are too far wasted In
consumptive there is a weaker spot than
even the lungs. That spot is the stomach.
A consumptive never really begins to die
until his stomach gives out. The Golden
Medical Discovery" not only braces up
the stomach, but acts directly on the
lungs, healing them and driving out all
impurities Honest medicine dealers will
not urge you to take an inferior substitute.

writes Mrs Cara A. Mcintyre, Box III, Ash

Medical Discovery, and, thank the Lord, did
SO. BY the time I had taken half of the first
bottle felt much better. l kept on until had
taken three bottles. That WIS all needed.

Whenever constipation is one of the CON-
plicating causes of disease, the most perfect
remedy is DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
which are always effective, yet absolutely
mild and harmless. There never was any
remedy invented which can take their
place. They never grippe.
