"Have by some surgeon Shylock on
thy charge to stop his wounds lest he do
bleed to death" People can bleed to
death. The loss of blood weakens the
body. It must follow that gain of blood
gives the Eody strength. The strength
ening effect of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is in large part due to its
action on the blood making glands and
the increased supply of pure, rich blood
it produces. 1t is only when the blood
is impoverished and impure that disease
finds soil ia which to root The Dis
coYery purifies the blood and makes it
antagonistic to disease. When the body
is emaciated the lungs are weak and
there is obstinate, lingering cough, Coll
den Medical Discovery puts the body on
a fighting footing against disease, and
SO increases the vitality that disease is
thrown off and physical health perfectly
and permanently restored. 1t has cured
thousands who were hopeless and help
less, and who had tried all other means
of cure without avail.

Not a Religious Pirate.

Senator Bacon has announced his in
tention to oppose the ratification of the
so-called Samoan treaty when it comes
up for consideration in the executive
session. The parties to this robber
agreement are Germany and the United
States-Great Britain having transferred
her part of the plumber to the former
aad drawn out. By the terms of the
division of the plunder: Germany gets
two of the islands and this noble, chris
tian republic gets one. II has not been
thought necessary to consult the people
of the islands as to whether the arrange
ment suits them. They are not consid-
cred as having any rights in the prem~
Uses that these two robber nations are
bound to respect. This act of thievery
on large scale, like that now going on
in the Philippines, is called the acquisi-
ton of territory. Some specially pi0us

were not hypocrites. They did not claim
to rob people and murder them in the
