Lawns in Central Park responded promptly

where the grass was burned out for lack Of

The outbreak Of plague in Egypt and Persia
Is creating more alarm than 10 generally
acknowledged among the scientific men and
intelligent inhabitants OF Europe. who are
gradually awakening to sense OF tho possible
danger OF the disease spreading stop by step
westward until 1t shall have gained Arm foot
hold in the heart OF Europe. That these fears
are justified to q certain extent would appear
to be borne out by a considerat OF the his
tory OF former epidemics as well as by the I'M
sanitary conditions prevailing In large
number OF European cities and districts
The old superstitious dread OF the plague has
almost died out. and for eome years the people
OF Europe have lulled themselves into sense
OF security as regards the danger Of Infection
They have come to regard themselves as in a
high degree proof against the plague. basing
their faith chiefly on the fact that in India

have been the only victims. The occurrences

and the mortality from the disease among
the white population OF Alexandria has
tended to still further throw doubt on this
comforting belief
Itmay be fairly assum ed that. given the con-
ditons favorable to it's growth. there Is no
valid reason to infer that once the plague has

The witness then rehearsed the story
of Barnets Illness, He said that when
he left Barnet that evening ne was In
good condition. He did not have occa-
sion to go to the club house again for
three or four days, when he learned
that DR.. Douglass had charge of the
case of Mr.. Barnet and that he had

Phillips said that when he first saw
Barnet there were no symptoms of
diphtheria, although they might have
developed subsequently. He said that
from what Barnet told him he was
certain that he suspected who it was
who had sent him the powder although
he did not mention the name of any
one in this Connection.
Then the witness was Intercepted on
the part he played in Cornish's sickness.
He said that he found Cornish quite i'll
and that from what he observed there
appeared to be a marked similarity be-
tween him and Barnet's sickness. He
said that he did not take charge Of the
case, because DIR. Coffin had reached the
sick man before he did He said that
Cornish was very sick when he reached
the room and that he and Dr. Coffin

replied that it was just a Woman's sub

Advanced Medical Science knows of no more
powerful Alternative medicine than Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Alternative medicines
soca1ed because they alter or change the condition
lof the system, have ranked among the most valued
Iof medicines prescribed by physicians 1t is by the
'skillful and scientific combination of several such
alternatives that DR.. Pierce has produced an altera
tive remedy, having the specific value of each in
gredient and the combined and concentrated power
of all these alternatives in union, which are so
blended and SO balanced that they unite the great
est delicacy of operation with the utmost healing
power. 1t is these facts which give this greatest
of alternatives a genuine claim to the title of a
Discovery"
The action of Golden Medical Discovery is
primarily directed to the stomach and the nutritiue
or digestive system. Here is a common starting
place of disease.
what weak Stomach" Means.
There never was strong man with "weak
stomach" And so-caled weak stomach NAV
and often does mean weak heart weak liver or weak
lungs. Why? Because in the stomach the nour-
ishment for each organ of the body is prepared and
from the stomach it is distributed Bread kneaded
in sour trough will take the faint of the trough
Food mixed and prepared in tainted stomach will
take the faint and poison of that stomach all over
the SYSTEM to finally lodge at the weakest point of
some weak organ. Hence it Is that in curing the
stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri-
tion and in increasing the activity of the blood
making glands, Golden Medical Discovery at
once begins to send throughout the body an in
creased supply of pure blood, because the blood is
made from the food taken into the stomach and
with the weak stomach " made strong and foul
blood made pure, comes change to other organs
which gather strength to throw off disease
Golden Medical Discovery" works with Nature
it puts into Natures hand the only weapon with
which she can fight disease.
SIXTEEN YEARS OF SUFFERING.
The power of the Discovery" is best exempl-
fed in its cures of chronic cases. where after years
Of suffering, and when doctors had utterly failed to
help, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has

that of Mrs. Suggs.
