 Swat at the Jail.
 ''We, the undersigned subcommittee on police and sanitation, respectfully report that we have this day carefully inspected the city prison on the Northside, and we regret to have to say that we found things in what we consider very bad condition. There was decided lack of cleanliness and order manifest in nearly every part of the prison, and unhealthy odors were evident also We do not think the prison Is kept In such condition of cleanliness as 1t should be, and we recom- mend that the prison be at once thor oughly overhauled and that the warden be required to keep 1t that way.

deadliness we should see a monster which would dwarf into insignihcance all the monsters ever begotten by hu- man imagination. The microbe has this in common with the fab1ed monster, its food is human flesh and Its drink human blood. It battens on slaughter. For centuries medical science fought this microbic foe in darkness. The presence of the foe was recognized, its deadliness conceded. But 1t was ever an invisible foe, unknown and unnamed. To-day science with eye-power increased mill hou fold finds this lurking foe, knows 1t and names it.
 FINDING THE FOE
 Is tie first step, fighting it intel1igent1y is the next. We know this minute or ganism turks in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink. We know the object of attack is the blood. We know that as the microbe is bred from foulness it must be fed on foulness. Hence, we know that the microbe finds no lodgment in the body when the blood is pure. Keep the blood pure and you shut out the microbe.
 When the blood is impure nature at OuCt DCkIuS lO S1iOW tuC ACh NaASSi Sfb- nals. Boils, blotches, pimples, erup- tions begin to work upon the skin sur face, as signs and symptoms of the cor ruption of the blood When these, or any signs of blood impurity appear, the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery is confidently recommended as most powerful and perfect blood purify, ing medicine.

year or two ago was reading one of your Memorandum Books, and de- cided to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Favorite Prescription, and am entirely cured"
 Of all prevalent forms of blood dis ease, scrofu1a is the most intractable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has a remarkable record of cures of scrofulous diseases remarkable both in the number of cures and their variety as well as in the fact that these cures were effected many times in cases where all other treatment had proved utterly intellectual.
 vI cured my little girls scrofula with your Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pellets !" writes MT. Eli Ash ford of Raney, Hunt Co.,, Texas. "It has been four years since then, and there has not been any return of the disease.D
 There is no alcohol in vGo1den Med ical Discovery" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other mar cotics.
 Why does a dealer sometimes try to sell substitute for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, claiming it is cjust as good ?" Is it for the customer's ben eftl It can't be. If the two medicines are equal in merit there's no advantage to the purchaser in an e1es e.xchange. The medicines are not equal in merit, and the reason for selling substitute is only because the less meritorious med icine puts little more profit into the dealers pocket. His gain is the cus- toner's loss.
