THE HOME GOLD CURE
An Ingenious Treatment by which Drunk
ards are Being Cured Daily in
Spite of Themselves

ards are Being Cured Daily in
Spite Of Themselves
No Noxious Doses. No Weakening Of the
Nerves. A Pleasant and Positive Cure
for the Liquor Habit
1t is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness is disease and
not weakness. A body filled with poison,
and nerves completely shattered by per-
iodical or constant use of intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and eradicating this poison,
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
"HOME GOLD CURE" which has been
perfected after many years of close study
and treatment of inebriates. The faith
full use according to directions of this
wonderful discovery is positively guaran-
teed to cure the most obstinate case, no
matter how hard drinker. Our records
show the marvellous transformation of
thousands of Drunkards into sober, in
dustrious and upright men.
W Ed OOhE 1OOh n OHDANDO!!
CHILDREN CURE YOUR FATHERS!!
This remedy is in no sense nostrum but
is a specific for this disease only, and is
so skillfully devised and prepared that it
is thoroughly soluble and pleasant to the
taste, so that it can be given in cup of
tea or coffee without the knowledge of
the person taking it. Thousands of
Drunkards have cured themselves with
this priceless remedy, and as many more
have been cured and made temperate
men by having the "CURE" administered
by loving friends and relatives without
their knowledge in coffee or tea, and be-
lieve today that they discontinued drink
ing of their own free will. DO NOT
WAIT. Do not be deluded by apparent
and misleading improvement" Drive
out the disease at once and for all time.
The 'HOME GOLD CURE is sold at
the extremely low price of One Dollar,
thus placing within reach of everybody
a treatment more effectual than others
costing $25 to $50. Full directions accom-

sold without delay. No question was ever
raised as to quality or weight.
Benson's Porous Plaster sells on its repu-
tation everywhere. All the buyer wants to
be certain of is that the plaster offered him
really is Benson's, and not worthless imi-
tation of it or substitute for it.
A plaster is the best form of external rem
edy, and Benson's is the best plaster; 5000
physicians and druggists, and multitude
of people no man can number, have settled
that. "You can trust il" they say.
Coughs, colds, lame back, lumbago, mus
cular stiffness and rheumatism, troubles of
the liver and kidneys, influenza or grip,
pneumonia, and all other diseases open to
external treatment, are at once relieved and
cured by Benson's Plaster.
Do not assume that Belladonna, Capsi-
cum or Strengthening plasters are ''just as
good as' Benson's. They are vastly in
ferior.-No other plaster is as good as
Benson's.
In competition with the best-known
plasters of Europe and America, Benson's
have received fifty. flee highest Gaoards.
For sale by all druggists or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the

..LIFE'S LITTLE TRAGEDIES..
17o Days Saved by Adverse Decision.

"Mickie Brennan is charged with carrying concealed weapons" said Judge Feagin. What does Mickie say?-
 Mickie said nothing. He had paid out his cold cash for lawyer and he expected his lawyer to change this cold metal into fiery eloquence. This he proceeded to do and some colloquy ensued between judge and attorney relative to the general law of justice The attorney thought it was a matter of persecution, but the judge said it was only prosecution. The question was whether Mickie should be tried for violating the State law or the city law. He wanted to be tried for violating the city law, and moved to dismiss the State warrant. This motion was overruled as an unwarrantable procedure. he prosecutor" said the judge, "can take his choice whether to pro- ceed under the State or city law The de- fendant examined the warrant. There was no breach in it that he could see, so he answered ready"
 An officer then took the stand and told how he had arrested the defendant and found a pistol in his pocket. He knew it was a case of concealed weapons. The de- fendant knew it too, and immediately plead guilty, but stated that he was a very weak ly fellow and was carrying the pistol to it's rightful owner, and asked to be let off light account of his health. The judge said he made it a rule to fine man $100 for carrying concealed weapons, whether he was in good health or bad health. That in- asmueh as he had been tried under the State law, if he did not pay his fine he would have to work but thirty days, but if he had been tried under the city law and failed to pay his fine he would have to work 200 days. So that assuming the fine would not be paid he had saved him ITO days by overrulng his motion to dismiss the State warrant.
