feeble answer. How long journey" ?" the jester asked. Nay Archie 1 do not know" "Whither then does thy journey lcad?" "Neither do know that Archie. , 'What provision hast thou made for this journey?n None at all" sighed the nobleman. Archie looked long and hard in his masters face, then he placed his bauble in hir lords hand "Take it " lie said " for I have found a greater fool than myself"
 There is no greater folly than ignorance where knowledge is possible and vitally necessary to safety and happiness, and yet tens of tious Hnds of people walk this world linked with folly. They are ignorant of the conditions of life, ignorant of the con- stitution of their own bodies. Children grow to manhood and wonlanhood ignorant of the conditions under which nature governs. They break her laws recklessly. They exhaust themselves i'll the mistaken effort to have Q good time " while they are young.
 Some day comes the shock when nature presents hef overdraft account and de- mauds payment. Sometimes it's heart trouble, some times the stomach fails of its functions, sometime the liver refuses to tug any longer at its load, or the kidneys balk at their burden Sometimes, very often in- deed, red spot begins to burn on the cheeks, a backing cough develops, the breath grows short, the strength oozes out at night in dripping sweat, aud every day the daily walk is shortened by few steps as the strength fails. That's con sumption.
 The theory is that consumption cannot be cured, and it's a theory so deeply rooted that time is wasted in combating it. But what is cure ill such a case? Suppose man tor wOrnan) with all the symptoms of consumption takes, as thousands aid thousands have taken, Dr. PieTcc'S Golden Medical Discovery, and lives on to healthy, happy, hearty old age as these same thousands and thousands have done, and dies in the allotted time of ripened life. Two positions are possible. You can say " 1t was not really consumption he had" ]" Or it can be said he really died of consumption after all" But the unarsweT- able fact is that the man lived out his three score years and ten. What IS a cure any way? Isn't life? You don't care what disease you may be said to have if you are enjoying health and live out your long life in comfort ana content. One fact at least, is well established. That the Golden Medical Discovery does cure weak lungs, bleeding from lungs, obstinate, lingering coughs, laryngitis, bronchitis, throat dis ease, and kindred affections of the air-pas- sages, which if neglected or badly treated, lead up to consumption, can no longer be doubted in view of the many thousands Of we'll CSJdOISHSQ cures O1 SuCu eases 1SpOIl- ed by the most trustworthy citizens. Many of these cases have been pronounced consumptior-and incurable-by the best local physicians before the sufferers con- nenced the use Of pr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
 Whether the doctors have erred Ill their judgement in these numerous cases or not is not for us to decide.
 "I had a very bad cough, also night-sweats and Was almost i'll my grave with consumption" writes Mrs. Clara Mcintyre, of Ashland, Middle sex, Co.,, Mass, Box IT. A friend of mine who had died of consumption came to me i'll dream and told to take pr. Pierce'S Golden Medical DiscoN cry, aud, thank the Lord, did so. Iy the tire had taken half of the first bottle felt much better. I kept on till had taken three bottles. That was all l needed. I got well and st~oug again."
 "I had the g-;p, which left ine feeling miser- able-no strength and a cough" writes Mrs c. Maynard, of Last Lyme, New London Co.,, Conn. "As so'ue of my family died ot cousump- ton. feared that. began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. After taking the second bottle felt much better, and am now well for oue of my age (sixty-three years)."
