THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME

OF Fina nciaI Legislation Not Pleasing to
Many Members of the Party.
Washington, May 23.-Advocates OF
currency reform are disappointed with
the results of the Republican caucus
committee, appointed to formulate a
legislative programme.
There were disagreements among
the members of the committee, and
even those who were prepared to en-
dorse the principle of the Indianapolis
scheme were unable to get together as
to details.
The programme proposes to adopt
definitely the gold standard, making
all obligations of the country payable
in gold on demand. The proposition to
reissue greenbacks only in exchange
for gold will, if enacted, destroy the
endless chain"
1t is proposed to permit banks to issue
notes up to the par value Of their
bonds and to permit the establishment
of banks of $4,000 capital in small
towns - =
There is no possibility of any ideal
financial legislation by the Fifty-sixth
Congress, and it is probable that even
the moderate measure proposed by the
caucus committee will fail.

sufficient evidence of the lack of knoWl-
edge and skill upon which these pa
uents had to depend for health and
even for life. Diseases may be the
same invariably, having the same ORR
gin and the same results, but people
differ. The question is, not only, does
the doctor understand the disease, but
DOES HE UNDERSTAND YOU?
You are perhaps little more delicate
ly organized, your temperament is diff
ferent from the average person, and
you need different treatment. 1t is in
the perfect adaptation of the treatment
OF chronic diseases to the individual
idiosyncrasy that Dr. Pierce owes much
of his success. For more than thirty
years as chief consulting physician of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, of Buffalo, N Y, he has devoted
his time and skill to the treatment and
cure of chronic diseases. Around him
he has gathered staff of nearly a
score of medical specialists. whose
skill can be inferred from the fact that
ninety-eight per cent. of all who have
received DR.. Pierces treatment have
been perfectly and permanently cured.
This is a remarkable record when it is
number hundreds of thousands 1t is
a common experience to find that peo-
pie have for years been treated for the
wrong disease. naturally without the
slightest benefit and having nothing
to show for hundreds of dollars paid
out in fees. Such people art of course
astonished when after asking Dr.
Pierce's advice they are recommended
to try Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, which is purely medicine
for the blood, stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition. Why" they
may say, 1.-THE trouble has been with
my heart" or my lungs are weak or
my liver and kidneys are what need
help, not my stomach" Yet after TAX
ing the medicine prescribed these peo-
pie write invariably, that the heart
trouble or lung weakness" or dis
case of kidneys or liver has entirely
disappeared and all are talking of the
wonderful cure.
These are the bare facts of the case:
the plain unvarnished tale, supported
nesses. Take the case of Mrs. N.
Bernier by way of example), who lives
at 461 Elm ST.. Oshkosh, Wis. She had
poSsi eicdteu "ltHOut SUCCESS by seven
OF our prominent Doctors before she
carsa to DR.. Pierce. Read the result:

Peirce's Favorite Prescription, and

since first began to take these RENEE
dies. Can say truthfully that your
medicine is the best | ever found for
liver complaint and dyspepsia. You
are at liberty to publish this for the
benefit of suffering people, and hope
and pray God to bless you in your noble
work."
But why is it that Golden Medical
Discovery" will do what doctors failed
in doing? That is natural question
and should receive plain and practical
answer. Nineteen times out of twenty
in DR.. Pierce's wide and long expert
ence of disease, he found that diseases
whose symptoms involved organs re-
mote from the stomach, were at the
same time solely and wholly due to the
condition of the stomach. Severe head
ache, dizziness, palpitation of the heart,
intermittent pulse, backache, side ache,
trembling limbs, cold hands and feet,
Liver trouble are only some OF the
necessary results of diseased stomach
involving the other organs of digestion
and nutrition. The proof of this state
ment is that these ailments disappear
entirely and altogether when the stom-
ach has been restored to health by the
use of Golden Medical Discovery" 1t
is no use to treat the heart or the head,
the lungs or the liver for a disease
which originating in the stomach is be-
ing fed from the stomach through the
blood, with every pulse beat. It's easy
to understand this. Suppose a pure
stream flowing through fair farm and
and providing the drinking supply OF
the farmer and his family Some day
the water is found to be foul Going
up the stream one of the boys finds
hog dead in the brook. Is it any use
to attempt to purify that water, to heal
it or cleanse it, while that corruption
remains in the stream. Not bit OF
it. But take that carrion out of the
stream and the water does not need
any healing or cleaning. 1t heals it
self. The cause of the fou<aess is re-
moved. and the effect disappears, When
it is diseased
THE STOMACH IS A SEPULCEIRE
full of uncleanness. What makes the
head dizzy? The foul gases generated
from the decaying and putrescent mat
ter in that sepulchre of the stomach
where food is merely buried. What
hurts the heart, the lungs, the liver?
The poisons which are being developed
from the foul food which the organs OF
digestion and nutrition cannot convert
into nourishment These poisons are
mixed with the blood which is made in
the stomach and their influence is felt
first and most in the weaker organs.
