Why is it that one man is old and
decrepit at As, and another hale and
hearty at 80? 1t depends in the care
he takes of himself. Often a mans
body gets out Of repair-the trouble
grows until it lays him out in bed.
Whenever a man feels that he is not
as well as he ought to be, whenever
he is listless, without energy and with
ou vitality, whenever he finds that he
is losing weight and that his ordinary
work gives him undue fatigue, he
needs DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. If he keeps on working with
his liver inactive and his blood impure
he keeps his nerves and his body I'M
der a constant nervous strain. He will
not be hearty when he is old. The
''Golden Medical Discovery cures
many socalled diseases because nearly
all illness springs from the same thing
bad digestion and consequent impure
blood. The "Discovery" makes the ap-
petite good, the digestion strong, as,

TRUSTS VS.. BANKS.

The State Superintendent of Banks In
new York, Hon. Fred. D. Kilburn, in
his annual report to the legislature,
submits some remarks on trusts and
oanks that will attract the attention of
all interested in either kind of these
institutions. Says Mr.. Kilburn:
During the last two fiscal years
more than enough capital has been put
INTO new trust companies in this State
10 nave established sixty banks, capt.
talized at 100000 each. That these com
panleS have been instituted, with any
expectation that their principal bust
ness would be the acceptance and exc
cution OF trusts is not probable. Rather
IL Is IN banking functions, practically
discounts. that most of their resources
are likely to be employed. and with
this partial occupation OF the field
wherein the banks CLEAN their greatest
profits, 1t is not remarkable that the
number of the latter should fail to show

HOW NOT TO RUIN COLONIES.
