MANY REMAR CURES.

The cures effected by DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery are so many and so remarkable that
an explanation of the theory of these cures seems
almost necessary. To understand the action of the
discovery we must 60 beyond the blood. If we
follow the scarlet clue of vein or artery it leads US
at last to the stomach.
~The blood is the life True. But what r.
blood made 'FRONT.' Blood Is made chiefly from what
we eat and drink. 1t is the food, which, after being
properly digested and assimilated, nourishes the
body in the form Of blood. But when the stomach
and the allied organs Of digestion and nutrition are
diseased there cannot be a perfect digestion and
assimilation Of food. Hence, in what is called
"weak" stomach the nutrition of the body Is re-
duced, and the various organs which depend on
this blood made from food are put on short rations.
Like soldiers in a siege they win hold out on this
reduced ration as long as they can. But it is only
a question Of time when collapse comes, and uweak"
stomach is followed by r weak heart, " weak lungs,
weak kidneys or weakness of some other principal
organ. The conclusion is obvious. To help the
blood you must cure the stomach. The great Sic
cess Of Golden Medical Discovery is in chief due
to the fact that it begins with the stomach. 1t cures
diseases Of the stomach and other organs of diges.
ton and nutrition, and with these it cures diseases
which seem remote from the stomach but which
have their origin in the disease of that organ.
Accept no substitute for DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. There is no other blood puri-
flying medicine which is lust as good.n
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1900-04-29

effort is made TO reconcile the facts with the
claims made. for the latter are usually ex-
travagaJt and always unsubstantial where
population is concerned. The last local census
time l,s5o,Oo0 and. If no greater now than that,
thtCagu's position as the second largest city
OF tho country IL as clearly fixed as New lork's
as the first city. or Philaielphia's as the third.
The Federal census OF June will settle, no
doubt, many questions now in dispute MS to
the population Of American cities and States,
but as 10 the population of the whole country
there is practically little dispute OF the esti-
mates Of tho Treasury Department made con-
corning II during n long period Of wears. II

RIVAL POPULATION ESTIMATES.
Those BASED on the Work OF Enumerators and
OF Health Authoritic. Vary Greatly,

In most European countries the method Of
arriving at the population of n district or terri
tory is not through the ordinary form Of an
enumeration Of the inhabitants, such AS there IL
TO be in this country in June, but by the COLA
ton OF the health reports. Every birth and
every death is recorded. and every transfer of
residence either by those moving in or out OF
the jurisdiction of the local authorities IL kept
truck Of, with the result that NJ any given date
the population may be declared with practical
exactncss. In England and the United States
however, no such rule prevails. and enumara-
tons are depended upon for all information
required. One reason for this i found in the
imperfect character of birth reports in both
countries, and another is the rrplgnanCo Of
Americans and EngllShmpn, whose migratory
tendencies have served greatly IN the dnvci-
opnlent Of tho two countries, to ubiect thrn,-
selves to the espionage involved In Official
records OF tncir occasional truIstcrs of resi-
dencn rom one pIaC" to another.
IN, Now York the Health Board record of
deaths has been practically perfect for years
and upon the death rate figures il has hen,,
population made each year. Bur these figures
are not always exact, and important divrrceu-
Cies are sometimes shown. Thus in 1907 the

SPRING FEVER.

That is the one fever which no human being Is
exempt from. When the sap begins to rise, and
"the green gets back in the trees" when the warm
wind blows across the field laden with spring doors,
there comes the attack Of spring fever. The house
wife feels it and goes about her spring cleaning
languidly. The farmer feels it and goes YEARLY
a-feld to stumble with heavy feet behind the pillow.
Everybody knows the symptoms of spring fever; the
~languor, heavincss, and lack Of energy, the variable
appetite and ~unrestful sleep. There seems to be
no ambition. Molehills of work look as big as
mountains. And perhaps to all other discomforts
is added the breaking out Of boils or eruptions on
the body's surface.
What is the cause of this outbreak of feverl
The condition Of the blood. Winter is the time
of leisure on the farm and the farmer takes far less
exercise than in other seasons. He eats heartily OF
heavy foods. He sits at evening by the hot stove,
and not seldom breathes a vitfated atmosphere.
Thus with hearty living and diminished exercise
the body accumulates waste substances which should
be thrown off, and these substances corrupt the
blood and cause the heaviness of body and dizziness
Of brain so commonly associated with spring fever.
Health demands that these impurities shall be
purged from the blood, for they are not only the
cause of present discomfort but they offer a prepared
breeding ground for disease germs. It's Of no ulti-
mate value to resort TO stimulants or use the alco-
holic preparations sold as spring medicine. They
brace up but they don't build UP. They make you
"feel good" for the time being. but that is all.
There is a non alcoholic and non-narcotic medi-
cine which is unrivailed for its blood purifying
powers. This medicine is known throughout the
land as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
~cea,ses the blood from the impurities which clog
and corrupt it. 1t increases the activity of the
hood-making glands, so that the supply Of pure,
healthy blood is increased, and the whole body built
up with the good, sound flesh, which only pure
blood can make.
