When a business man gets to the point
where he cannot sleep at night, where he IS
so shattered of nerve that it is torture to
even remain in his bed, and he has to get
up and pace the fioor--it is time for that
man to bring himself up with round turn.
If he does not, it means nervous prostration
and mental, if not physical, death.
For a man who gets into this condition
there is a remedy that will brace him up,
put him on his feet and make man of him
again 1t is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t goes to the bottom of things.
1t searches out the first cause. When a
man is in this condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots aud hit that first
cause - the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
spots. 1t promptly transforms weak sto1n-
ach into healthy one. 1t facilitates the
flow of digestive juices and makes diges-
ton and assimilation perfect. 1t gives a
man an appetite like boys. 1t invigor-
ates the liver 1t fills the blood with the
life-giving elements of the food and makes
it pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current, and when it is filled with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, it does not take long to make man
we'll and strong. 1t builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
fbers. It puts new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body. 1t
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration.
Nothing "just as good can be found at
medicine stores.
81 had suffered about eleven years with pain
In the back of my head and back, ," writes Mr..
Robert Hubbard, of Warmer Lincoln Co., Ark.
II suffered for eleven years and spent great
deal of money for doctors and medicine, but did

Golden Medical Discovery and improved great.

NO PENSIONS
For Civil War Veterans in
Recent STRUGGLE.

Men who fought in the civil war
and have since drawn pensions from
the government, will not be paid any
more pension money if they participa-
ted in the late Spanish unpleasantness.
The government takes the stand that
men who passed the physical examin-
alton last May are not entitled to a
pension.
Lieut. Col. Shumway Of the Second
Massachusetts regiment, y. S. ", was
drawing a pension at the outbreak of
the Spanish war which was granted
for double rupture which the colonel
received during the four years he
fought in the SOUTH
Col. Shumway went TO birmingham
with the regiment, supposing that he
could not pass the rigid examination.
But the doctors surprised him and gave
him his certificate
Since that time Col Shumway has
not attempted to draw his pension,
which amounts to $12 per month The
colonel says that he will not ask for
it, but believes that the government
will eventually see the matter in .
different light and rescind their or
der.
There are only a few cases like Col
Shumway's, as nearly all the veterans
Of the civil war were not anxious to
volunteer for the spanish war. They
were satisfied with what they got from

BY TUNNELS.
Sewer Department Doesn't
Care for Cold Weather.

The sewer department is suspending
operations throughout the city as rapid
ly as possible on account of the difficult
tv in pursuing work in the frozen ground.
portion of it's work, which will be
pushed with vigor, however, is that on
the separating sewer system on Green
and Water streets. In these streets the
work will be under the line of frost ana
the cold weather will assist rather than
Interfere with the work. The openings
in these streets will be in tunnels in
stead of trenches on account OF the
depth to which the department Will
have to 60
In each street there will be two per-
pendicular shafts which, with openings
at either end, will be the base OF opera
tons. In Green street there will be
openinss at Bradley and Franklin
streets, and shafts will be sunk at Har-
rison and Winter streets. In Water
street the openings will be at each end
of the street, and the shafts at Harrison
and Pond streets. The shaft at the cor
ner of Harrison and Water streets is al
ready sunk The others will be dug
this week.
These shafts will go down to a depth
of about rs feet, this exceptional depth
is necessary in order to drain the low
land lying east of the sewer in East
Worcester
The tunnel in each street will be
about five feet in diameter and the
sewer will be feet inches by feet
6 inches. The sewer department antici-
pates no difficulty in tunnelling Green
street, as all indications point to a bed
of gravel running the entire distance Of
the street. In Water street a ledge Will
have to be penetrated.
BY tunneliing the department expects
to not only make the cost lighter, but
also to add to the convenience of every
body who uses the streets. The cost
will be less than by digging trenches on
account of the great depth. Work in
the tunnels can be done with greater
facility than during the summer time
on account of the purer air.
In boring, compressed air will run the
machines and the exhaust will assist
materially in supplying pure air to the
Workmen The nearness of the shafts
to each other renders the use of an air
supply unnecessary.

A DEEP PLOT.
Socialists Think PIutocrats Want to
Freezs Them Out of Public Library

Socialists Think PIutocrats Want to
Freeze Them Out of Public Library.
A local member of the socialist labor
party has complained through the coll
umns of The Spy of the alleged i'm
proper methods of ventilation in the
Public library, it appearing to him
that the capitalists Of the city were
trying to make the effort of the work
ingmen to get knowledge as difficult as
possible. Recently, when the COM
plainant in question, who was on the
socialist aldermanic ticket, visited the
reference ROOM the WINDOWS were
open. He caught cold, and asks the
public if the windows We're opened
through a plutocratic move.
Librarian Green was seen yesterday
about the methods employed in the
ventilation of the reference room, and
said that often during the day the
windows had to be opened, so impure
had become the air. The method as in
vogue here had been approved by ven
tilation experts, and is the same as has
been adopted in the leading Libraries
of the country. namely, at New York,
Boston, st. Louis, etc.
