er operators at different points along
the line. We would call each other up,
and then every man would deal him
self a hand, making his discards and
helping as desired. OF course, we had
to trust to mutual honor as to cheating,
but think everybody was on the
square. All played freeze out, and the
loser had to treat when we got togeth-
er at headquarters, which was about
once month. l must confess that the
action was a little slow, but the game
was more exciting than one might
imagine. Almost all the old operators
have played cards by telegraph at
some time Or another" - Chicago

Discovery

81 have been thinking of writing to
you for some time" writes Mrs. w. D.
Benson, OF Maxton, Robson Co., N. c.,
ito let you know what wonderful thing
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
did for my little boy. He was taken
with indigestion when he was a year
and a half old, and he was under the
doctors treatment for five long wears.
We spent all we made for doctors bills,
and it did no good. He could not eat
anything only little milk and cracker,
and sometimes even this would make
him sick, and he got very weak; could
not sit up all day, and l gave up all hope
of his ever getting any better. Looking
over one Of your books noticed DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery rec
commended for indigestion. We bought
some and gave to our boy. Two bottles
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoy-
cry cured him. He is we'll as can be,
and can eat anything that he wants and
it does not hurt him. He has not been
sick day since, and it has been three
years since he took your medicine. l
pray that God will always bless you and
your medicine
