the man who turns to Nature and lets her
help him may yet save himself, Medical
science knows this, and its highest authori-
ties affirm that the utmost medical skill
can do is to help Nature.
The great success of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery in curing wasted bodies,
weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering
coughs, is based on the recognition of
this fundamental scientific truth. +" Golden
Medical Discovery supplies Nature with
body building, tissue repairing, muscle
making materials in condensed and con-
centrated form. With this help Nature
supplies the strength to throw off diseases
of the lungs, heal the sick stomach re.
establish the digestive and nutritive organs
in sound health, purify and enrich the
blood, and nourish the nerves.
If your dealer offers something just as
good, il is probably better for INN it

cure not the profit, so there's nothing Just

The following incident is vouched for
by the captain of New England fish
ing schooner. One evening just after
dusk the captain and his crew went
down to supper, the weather being
fair, leaving the wheel In charge of
the cabin boy. He was a green hand,
said to him, Boy. steer by yonder
star, and you win be all right" But
in a short time the boy got the vessel
off her course, the consequence being
that the star appeared astern instead

If some recently published statistics are
to be trusted, the English language is
developing more than any other, past or
present. While the German contains
eighty thousand words, the italian forty
five thousand, and the French thirty thous-
and, and the Spanish only twenty thous-
and, DR.. Murray's English dictionary is
expected to contain no fewer than $50, ooc
words, more than half of which have come
into use during the last half century. A
great part of these additions are, of course
technical or scientific terms, which the
wiser German translates.

to the fact that 1898 was "record year"

TROTWOOD is an ideal road horse of
high action and fine finish, standing r6
hands and weighing over 1850 lbs, dark
bay color, with good turn of speed.
TROTWOOD has demonstrated his
string qualities both in the show ring and
in his produce which are his best adver-
tisement, showing that he transmits his
good qualities to his offspring in remark
able degree. Out of four seasons in the
stud he has produced the bay color in
every case. From mares of all color and
breading you can see the Trotwood styles
ano action.
Breeders can spend a little time in no
better way than in investigating the breed
ing and produce of the stallion you wish to
patronize, for in these times you can not
afford to spend time or money on expert
ments or uncertainties.
