A GREAT TRUTH.

All organized living things whether be-
longing to the animal or vegetable king
dom contain within themselves the germs
of death and decay.
Germs of disease are often generated
within the human system through imper-
feet digestion of food, producing various
poisons which scientists have denominated
Pf0nsdi,ses. A stomach weakened by abuse,
gorged with over eating or over burdened
with hot bread, too rich or greasy foods or
those too highly seasoned, becomes weak
ened and fails to thoroughly digest the
food. A heavy, sodden mass is accumu-
lated in the stomach to ferment as the first
step in its decay, giving off foul gases to
distend the stomach, and poison the blood,
until il becomes thin, weak and lacking in
the red corpuscles so necessary to perfect
health.
The over distended stomach presses upon
the heart, and the latter organ is also dis
turbed through sympathy, the same system
of nerves being distributed to both organs.
Thus pa1pitation and irregular action of the
heart with its attendant shortness of breath,
result and in time. disease of the heart
itself is established.
The gases and other poisons generated
from undigested, fermenting and decay
ing food in the stomach becloud the
brain, causing headaches, and pain in the
eyes.
Being absorbed into the blood these poi
sons reach every part and organ OF the sys-
TEN. The kidneys are thereby poisoned,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes. Fill
tering through the skin, troublesome skin
diseases often show themselves.
Every organ and every nerve, depending
as they do for their nourishment and
renewal upon the stomach, weak digestion
shows itself not alone in loss of appetite
and flesh but also in nervousness, debility,
bad complexion and many other derange-
ments.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
tones and regulates the stomach stimu-
lates the digestive juices; invigorates the
torpid liver promotes intestinal strength.
: clears bilious poisons and diseased germs
out of the circulation; gives the blood

. ant nutrition out of which she manufac-
lures firm flesh, strong muscles, clear skin,

gives sound, enduring, active energy to the
whole system.

LETTER FROM CONGER.
Describes Predicament to Cap.
tain Thomas of the United
States Navy.
THE MESSAGE is DATED JULY 4
Remarkably Similar to One Alleged to
Have Been Sent by Conger to
Washington July rs.

Washington, July 25.-The following
navy department:
Chcfoo, July 24.-NavigatiOn Blu
reau, Washington.-Writ message,
signed Conger, dated July 4, received
Tientsin 21st, says: Been besieged
two weeks British legation. Grave
danger general massacre by Chinese
soldiers, who are Smelling legation
daily. Relief soon, If at all. City
without government except by Chi
nese army. Determined massacre all
foreigners Pekin. Entry relief forces
into city probably hotly contested"
THOMAS.
The message comes from Captain
Charles Nj. Thomas, commander of the
Brooklyn at Taku.
Similarity of Messages
In official circles this is deemed i'm
portant. as it throws light on Conger's
alleged message transmitted to the
state department through Minister
WI. While COngers first message was
not dated, it was held by Secretary
Hay and Minister WI to have been
written In Pekin July Is. There was
nothing to show this except that ii
was sent with the taotai of Shanghais
message to WI, which was dated July
20. Congers first message said: "In
British legation under continued shot
and shell from Chinese troops. Quick
relief only can prevent general mas
Sacre."
Comparison Of the two messages
shows n remarkable similarity in
wording, while the tenor of the two
Is Identical. The opinion obtains that
the message Of the 18th and the one
received through Captain Thomas
were written July 4. On that date
Conger says "Relief soon If at ALL" If
the legation was in such grave dan
ger. then it Is held by officials here that
the probability of it's holding out two
weeks longer Is very slight.
Dispatch from Goodnow.
The state department has received
cable dispatch from Consul Good
now, but it is stated that it contains
nothing to clear up the situation at
Pekin. Mr.. Goodnow says that Ii
Hung Chang will remain In Shanghai
for the present and will conduct his
negotiations from that city. There IL
an intimatiop that Earl Ii is detained
at the request of the foreign officials,
although this was not stated by Act
ing Secretary Hill.
No Response to McSiniey's Reply.
No information has been received
from the Chinese legation or Chinese
government in response to President
McKinley's reply to the emperor. No
answer has yet been received from the
second dispatch sent to Minister Con-
ger through Minister WI, but it Is
stated that when a reply is received it
will probably set ut rest all doubts as
to its authenticity.

. Apt Illustration.


When Pooker T. Washington lee
tured in Omaha last winter he paused
In the middle of his lecture and asked:
How many negro boys in Omaha
are learning mechanical trader
And from the vast audience came
the reply:
Not one"
Then Mr.. Washington proceeded to
tell the negro boys what they should
DO. The old colored man with his
brush and pail of whitewash once
made a good living. But he was a
"whitewasher." The first thing he
knew a white man came along with
an assortment of brushes and several
colors of wash under fancy names.
The white man called himself an Gin
terror decorator" and the old colored
mans job was gone forever
"You negro boys" continued Mr..
Washington, must become interior
decorators, for the withdrawing job
is DONE"
In drawing this apt illustration Mr..
Washington conveyed a volume of
sound sense in a half-dozen sentences
to his audience.
