when YOU have no adequate means
at hand to confront IT Plenty of peo-
pie die every day of durable diseases,
simply because the stereotyped, routine,
senseiess methods and remedies usually
employed are not halfway equal to the
occasion.
But when a truly scientific remedy like
Or. Pierce's great " Golden Medical Dis
covery" is brought TO bear upon the
complaints which it is designed 70 cure,
ii penetrates the tough hide-bound armor
of obstinate disease with the same un-
Srring accuracy and power with which
modern rifle penetrates a savage shield.

Arbitration was the next question
and 1t was quickly settled. The dele

We are in favor Of a permanent system Of

There was no further debate but
Miss Mixs amendment was voted down
without dissent, AS adopted, the reso-
