Advanced Medical Science knows of no more
powerful Alternative medicine than DR.. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery. Alternative medicines,
so-called because they alter change the condition
of the system have ranked among the most valued
of medicines prescribed by physicians. 1t is by the
skiful and scientific combination of several such
alternatives that Dr. Pierce has produced an a1tera-
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 decacy of operation with the utmost healing
power. 1t is these facts which give this greatest
of alternatives genuine claim to the title Of
" Discovery
The action of Golden Medical Discovery is
primarily directed to the stomach and the nutrtve
digestive system. Here is a common starting
place OF disease.
what "vssak Stomach - Ezaans
There never was strong man with "weak
stomach" And a so-called 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
il sour trough will take on the faint of the trough
Food mixed and prepared in a tainted stomach will
take the faint and poison of that stomach ali 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
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 y 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.
SsxTEEA YEARS OF SUFFERING.
The power of the &C Discovery" is best exempt

CIemency to a Local Criminal.

The President has granted a pardon to
Albert f. Eichelberger, who was sentenced
in 1894 to Imprisonment for seven years for
manslaughter in the District of Columbia
His term expires next August, and the
ground Of clemency is that Echeberger Is
very i'll of consumption. He is in the Albany
pententiary.
Eichelberger was indicted for murder in
the first degree by the grand jury Novem-
Der 30 1894, but by a compromise with the
prosecuting attorney he was allowed to
plead guilty to manslaughter when brought
up for trial three days later. The Prest-
dent granted the pardon upon the recon-
mendation of Attorney General Griggs and
the warden of the prison.
In the case of Charles c. Moore, con-
Victed in Cincinnati this year of sending
obscene literature through the mails, the
President has commuted the sentence to
two months. Moore was editor of the Blue
Grass Blade in Lexington county.

ner, convicted in Colorado I'm 1897 of coun-
terfeiting, has been committed to two

A chambermaid at the Burlington who
was the only one near the room in which
the shooting occurred, told the police that
she heard the men in angry conversation
just before she heard the pistol shots. One
of the men, she said, and she was positive
that it was not Masterton, said in a loud,
angry tone: II will not be satified with
that amount" Two shots were fired in
quick succession a moment later and then
three more Plumb came out of the room
