show man the way to long and healthy
life
Common sense teaches that man should
not over-work or over-worry; that he should
take ample time for his meals, for resting
and for recreation and sleep; that he should
not neglect the little ills of life, because
they are the precursors of serious and fatal
maladies. Chemistry has enabled men to
make combinations of drugs that were inn
Jossible in the days of the alchemists.
Medical science has taught when, how ard
why these combinations of drugs should
be used. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covcry is the most valuable of all health
restoring medicines, and the most effective.
Its first work is upon the fountain head of
life-the stomach. A man who has a weak
and impaired stomach and who does not
properly digest his food will soon find that
his blood has become weak and impover-
ishcd, and that his whole body is improp-
crly and insuffciently nourished This
medicine makes the stomach strong, facil-
itates the flow Of digestive juices, restores
the lost appetite, makes assimilation per-
feet, invigorates the liver and purifes and
enriches the blood. II is the great blood
maker, flesh builder and nerve tonic. It
makes men strong in body, active in MUD
and cool in Judgment.
It does not make dabby fat, but solid,
muscular fesh, nerve force and vital en-
ergy All medicine dealers sell it.

Gan to spit up blood, was troubled with night

Almost Ideal Weather. {.

| Boston, Sept. 20.-The weather the past
week was seasonable and almost ideal.
The early part was cool in all sections.
and frosts occurred in parts of all the
states. The closing days were much
warmer. The abundant sunshine with
the warm hours of mid day served to
ripen vegetables and crops generally.
and to color fruits. The cool nights
checked vegetable growth and aided in
maturing products Owing to the small
amount of foul weather, rapid progress
was made in all farming operations, con-
slsting generally of harvesting potato
digging and fall blowing and seeding.
Rain is greatly needed in Maine, where
pastures have in many sections failed
Water is also needed for stock where
streams are low. The soil continues too
dry Tor blowing or seeding. The dry
weather is also felt in many sections of
New Hampshire and Vermont. In parts
of Rhode Island and Connecticut the
surface OF the ground is becoming quite
dry, and roads are very dusty.
Corn is mostly secured in good cond-
tion; the crop Is generally large. Buck
wheat harvest Is about completed and the
crop Is large. The conditions favored
fall seeding, which, Maine excepted. Is
nearing completion. Warm rains would
be of much benefit to the seed sown.
The bountiful crops of hay have filled
barns to overlooking; winter feed will be
abundant. Except where drought pre-
walls, meadows and pastures continue
green and fall feed Is plentiful
Apples in most sections are ripening
fast and are ready for picking. The crop
is light, but the fruit is generally large
and well colored. Grapes are slow in
rlpening, and in many cases will not
mature. This crop as "a rule is not salts

crossed slowly. The berries suffered
