This offer is not to be confounded
with those offers of "free medical adj
vice." which are made without any evil
dence of medical qualification or profess
sional standing. For more than thirty
years DIR. Pierce, as chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, of Buffalo. N. Y, as
sisted by his medical staff OF nearly a
score of physicians, has treated and
cured many thousands of men and
women who had been given up by
friends and physicians as incurable.
DIR. Pierce's success has been founded
on the fact that he cures so-called vim
curables." There are thousands of men
and women to-day, living in the enjoy
ment of perfect health, who bless the
day when they wrote the first letter to
DR.. Pierce. Who can wonder that these
people are enthusiastic over DIR. Pierce's
medicines and advice? Write to DIR.
Pierce. 1t may be to you as it has been
to many others-the first step to health.

Sometimes a dealer tempted by the
little more profit paid by less meritori-

Harrison's Last Days.

The last intelligent words spoken by
Gen. Harrison were to his wife Tuesday
afternoon, shortly before he lapsed into
total Inconsistencies. At that time
Mrs. Harrison asked him if he recog-
nized her, and he replied that he did.
At noon of the same day he recognized
his aunt, Mrs. Newcomer, feebly greet
ing her as "Aunty" when she came to
his bedside.
In the sick mans delirium, which
lasted from late Sunday night until he
became totally unconscious Tuesday
afternoon. his mind wandered back over
the great scenes of his life-charging
with his column, or speaking before
some great political convention.
A. L. Mason, personal friend, in tel
ling of his last call on Gen. Harrison,
just before his last illness, said;
I'VE conversed on a variety of sub
iects. / had Just finished reading his
article on the Boer war and rallied him
by saving that when he should 20 abroad
the next time he would not be an ac-
ceptable guest at the English court. He
answered with great quickness, / can 90
to see Kruger. He talked for time
about the Presbyterian creed. He was
the chairman Of the committee on re-
vision He took up the Cuban question
His point on this was that we had placed
ourselves in position before the world
where our sincerity in dealing with
Cuba could justly be questioned. He
was empha sizing his former statement
that the moral law bound the honor OF
nations as well as of individuals. His
reference to the Philippines and Porto
Rico matters expressed snrprise that the
Supreme court Of the United States had
not vet handed down it's decision.
Later the conversation turned on
trusts He said he had very dehnate
ideas on the regulation Of trusts, and
believed that the problem is fairly with
in the reach of legislation that would
commend itself to the common sense Of
all good people He quoted at length
from memory from the articles of in
corporation Of the steel trust. and ez-
pressed a belief that a corporation
should not be admitted 10 do business
in any State unless il carried on its
principal bushes in the State where IT
was organized and was an actual and
bona fide corporation Of that State, not
only in law but in fact He remarked
that many Of the great trust combina-
tions organized under the laws OF New
Jersey transacted no business in that
State and were not intended 10 transact
any business there.

At Tien-Tsin, China. the seaport of
Pekin, last week, the British and
Russians were disputing over the limits
Of railway property in the Russian con-
cession, and the guards Of the two
nations were in close proximity TO each
other. The British had been strongly
reinforced and trouble was imminent.
The British were acting uuder orders to
lay a siding, by force, If necessary, and
this the Russians were opposing.

On Saturday the English railway
authorities put men to work building a
siding near the station. The Russians
drove them off for trespassing on their
new concessions The laboreTs. who
were roughly handled. returned, sup
ported by several hundred British
troops. The Russians responded by
calling out their whole force and pre-
pairing for battle. Upon seeing this the
British desisted from their purpose Of
bringing back laborers to work by force.

WASHINGTON.

The War Department cabled instruc-
tions to Gen. Chaffee in China, last
week, to take all the American troops
from that country to Manila, excepting
a picked company for legation guard.
This action was probably taken in view
OF the impending struggle between
Russia and England for the possession
Of Tien Tsin, the seaport of Pekin, and
which the Chinese seem to have ceded
to Russia.

WARTS AND WEEDS.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WISHING AND WORKING.

1t is popularity believed that warts can
be wished away. But the farmer who
sat down and tried to clear his field by
wishing the weeds away would soon find
his crops gone. 1t takes working to get
rid of weeds, and the man with the hoe
must put in many long day before he
can take we'll earned rest.
1t is singular fact that great many
people treat certain forms of disease as
warts are said to be treated-by wishing.
This is especially so in the ease of

Wanamaker on Harrison.

benjamin Harrison will ever stand
as a rare type of American character.
In the combination Of gifts he possessed
ne approached Gladstone nearer than
any other American statesman. de
lived in light that made every ques-
ton of dnty clear to him, and out OF his
clear brain and apt speech he shed light
on every subject he discussed Few
men had the epigrammatic expression
that was given to him. Two words
were never spoken by him where one
wou!3 do. Strange as it may appear TO
thos- xho only knew him in his official
life as President of the United States,
there are hosts of his old army com
ra.ies aud Of other close friends who
have .ixays known his personal attract
iyeness. When he became President
his personality was merged in an allah
sorbing devotion to affairs Of state that
left him without thought or care OF
his own principal interests.
By day and by night he was as one
haunted by the heavy responsibilities OF
his Office. In cabinet wherein sat the
illustrions Blaine and Window, he led
them and his associates all in breadth OF
vision. keenness of business perception
and immense fidelity to even the most
minute Of public affairs. Always saga
cious, fearless and firm. never feeble nor
foolish. with a wisdom of speech and
wisdom to act born Of true heart, his
life was a glorifcation Of simplicity,
straightforwardness and fruthfulness.
If there was anything he hated more
than anything else it was a falsehood.
Never false himself, he was the implac-
able foe of falsity in others. He had
great soul and loved his country. Tax
ing together his soldier, senatorial and
presidential record, Benjamin Harrison
stands in the highest rank Of American
statesmen. Time will show how deep
in the hearts of the people Benjamin
Harrison truly lives.
