II was suffering with what the doctors called
chronic indigestion, torpid liver. and vertigo"
writes Mrs Martha f. Barham. of MELVILLE,
Prince George Co. Va THE doctor did me
no good. My symptoms were giddiness in
the head. pains in the chest and an uneasy
feeling all over. 1 also suffered with female
weakness.
II was all rundown and could not do any
tacks. / wrote to DR.. K. v. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N Y. for advice. He advised to use DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Favorte Pre-
scription.' I did so, and used five bottles of
each. and I cannot express the benefit have
received from these medicines. / gained in
health and strength. When commenced to
use the medicines weighed only ia pounds,
now l weigh lao pounds. / thank God and
DR.. Pierce for my recovery. My husband and
friends all thought would die but to-day am
a well woman"
The wonderful effects of this great Dis
covery" are genuine and permanent; they
are not due to any false or alcoholic stimu-
lus for it contains no alcohol. Real sub
stantial healthy musuclar strength is built
up the stomach and liver are toned; the
blood is purified and vitslized; the nerves
are steadied, the entire constitution is re-
juvenated and renewed.
In case of constipation, there is nothing
quite so effective as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They act comfortably though
surely; they do not grippe; you do not be-
come slave to their use. Their effect is
lasting. There are countless substitutes;
but nothing else is like them.

THE SOLDIERS CHECK.
IL Speedily Finds Its Way Into the
Possession of the CAM
teen Man.

When the soldiers get their discharge
from the army they receive from the
local paymaster's office new. crisp
checks. These checks. calling for any
where from $50 to 500 for privates.
grow very warm in the pockets of some
Of their. owners and the first desire is
10 get rid Of them. In fact, many OF
the boys hardly wait until the ink is
dry before some friendly canteen man
has Ii in his till. Many OF he soldiers,
being unacquainted in ihe city. have
no one.to identify them at the banks,
and are forced TO have them cashed
where they trade, says the Detroit Free
Press. ...... ....
1t is no uncommon occurrence in the
paymaster's office nowadays to see peo-
pie coming in with checks in heir hands
that have been refused at the banks.
This is due TO technicality. and in
most cases is Strengthened out by the
.paymaster. One woman went TO the
office one day last week, and said she
had cashed u check for 500 for soldier.
She had sent the check. with several
others. to one Of the city banks. on
deposit. The check had been forward
ed TO Chicago bank for collection. and
the Chicago bank refused to cash it.,
for the reason that in indorsing it, the
soldier had failed to add his POSITION.
company letter and regiment number
to his signature. This is the case in
many instances. The checks are all
sent back here and Paymaster Pickett
cer,ifies TO the missing identtfications
in most cases.

AN OLD TREASURY NOTE
r..,.G ,n 1919 to ~ MeaE Of w.-
70 Debt .ef ssl4E1A URAr
New York.

A certain $40 treasury note of the
series of 1915. which was lately for
warded TO the treasury depart ment by
the Fourth national bank some time
ago. is to be paid. The note was re-
ceived at the bank about month ago
from the First National Bank Of West
field. Mass. How it came into the pos
session Of that institution is not known
here. says the New York Sun.
The note was taken to the sub
treasury and returned. as the officials
there had no.way of proving its genu-
ineness. nor any available funds to cash
it. On December IL the: note was sent
10 Washington, where after various in
spections. references and conferences
il has been identified with others Of the
same issue. The issue was authorized
on February "a. 1878. to pay arrearages
in the expenses Of the war Of 1912. II
was for $25.0OO.O00 originally. and the
act allowed the reissuance Of notes or
their conversion into bonds. Of this
amount $S.3G2. 394 was actually issued.
and $71S2. 74O reissued. The notes were
redeemable. in nine. years or convert
ibIe into government bonds. When the
notes themselves were for amounts
greater than 500 they bore interest.
but for less amounts were payable to
bearer and did not draw interest until
converted. Nearly all the issue was
soon retired. and the last note received
at the treasury prior to the one now
in hand was presented in 1872 ....
The redemption of the note will be
chargeable to the public debt matured
prior 10 1861. The note is held to be
good for its face value. because no date
of maturity is mentioned on it. Some
OF the notes of the same issue have been
declared worthless. it is said. because
they were not properly stamped and
signed,
