They Do Not Apply.

To the Edftor OF the Register.
Sir:-Please let me know if the re-
cent act of the Legislature In regard
to truancy applies to the Independent
school district of Wheeling? Also does
the bill in regard to teachers insti-
tutes apply to this independent school
district? SUBSCRIBER.
Wheeling, March 4th, 1901.
Neither law applies to the i%ndepend-
ent school district of Wheeling. The
question of the application of the COM
pulsory school law, however, has been
made a subject of controversy. Attor-
ney VIM. Erskine rendered an opinion
to the Board of Education, in which he
took the position that it does not ap-
ply. 1t will be remembered that Gov
ernor G. w. Atkinson subsequently
wrote a letter to this city, in which he
defended the opposite view. Mr.. Frs
kine's view has been accepted by the
Board.-Ed.)

THE LAST IS FIRST.

The liver is sluggish because the stom-
.ach is diseased. The kidneys are dis
ordered because the stomach and its al
lied organs of digestion and nutrition
are vweak " and cannot supply adequate
nutrition for the needs of the body.
How do we know this? Because in SO
many cases, persons who had suffered
with disease of heart. liver, lungs, kid
neys, etc, have found these diseases en-
tirely cured, when DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has cured diseases of
the stomach and the other organs of di-
gesticn and nutrition.
II was afflicted with what the doctors
called nervous indigestion. Took med
icine from my family physician to no
avail. In looking over one of Doctor
Pierce's Memorandum Books" writes
Mr.. Thos. G.. Lever, of Lever, Richland
Co., S. c., IT found my case described
exactly. l wrote to you and made a
statement. You sent me a descriptive
Dist of questions, also hygienic rules. I
carried these out as best 1 could, but
thought myself incurable as l suffered SO
much with pain under my ribs and an
empty feeling in my stomach. At night
would have cold or hot feet and hands
alternately. l was getting very nervous
and suffered a great deal mentally, think
ing that death would soon claim me. Al
ways expected something unusual to
take place; was irritable and impatient,
and greatly reduced III flesh. I could
scarcely eat anything that would not
produce a bad feeling in my stomach.
After some hesitation, owing to my
prejudices against patent medicines, I
decided to try a few bottles of Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pellets After taking several bottles
of each, found I was improving. I con-
tinued for six months or more, off and

THE SIGN OF STARVATION

THE SIGN OF STARVATION
is weakness. A starved man can't work.
A starved organ can't work or at the
best it works partially and ineffectively.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
by curing diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
enables the perfect digestion and assimi-
lation of the food eaten, and this food
converted into nutrition, builds up the
body and all its parts and organs into
sound health and strength.
"After l had received the advice which
you gave me in regard to my treatment"
writes Geo. Dorner, ESQ, of 1915 Pulaski
Street, Baltimore, Md, "I used your
Golden Medical Discovery according
to directions. After using four bottles I
considered myself cured as 1 have not
felt any symptoms since. Had tried al
most all remedies that l heard of that
were good for dyspepsia, but without re-
lief. Finally L became discouraged and
wrote to you for advice, with the above
result"
TO DISCOURAGED PEoPLE.
The closing paragraph of Mr.. Dorner's
letter: uFinaIly I became discouraged
and wrote to you for advice" would ex-
press the feeling of thousands who have
written to DR.. Pierce. They have ut
terly failed to find help. They have been
growing steadily worse. AS a forlorn
hope they have written to DR.. Pierce
and have peer cured.

made to please the palate. The
palate is a creature of education.
It may be taught to crave things
bitter or things sweet; to desire
spicy or fiery condiments which
irritate the stomach or dainties
which distress It, and in which
the food value is reduced to the
minimum. AS a rule the palate is
taught to desire the most unde-
sirable things from the view
point of nutrition. The result is
that the stomach has to thresh a
great quantity of straw to obtain
one grain OF nutrition.
The body is sustained by food
properly digested and assimilated
and converted into nutrition. But
when the food lacks nutritive
value the body and its organs
must be starved. Exactly the
sane thing happens when the
food eaten is nutritious, but the
stomach and other organs of di-
gession and nutrition Being weak
ened by disease, fail to extract
the nutrition from the food pro-
Then the body is starved also.
