"Have by some surgeon Shylock on
thy charge to stop his wounds lest he
do bleed to death" People can bleed
to death. The loss Of blood Weakens
the body. It must follow that gain Of
blood gives the body strength. The
strengthening effect Of Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in large
part due to its action on the blood
making glands and the increased sup
ply Of pure, rich blood it produces.
It is only when the blood Is impover-
ished and impure that disease finds q
soil in which to root. The "Discov-
cry" purifes the blood and makes it
a~ntagonistic TO disease. When the
body Is emaciated, the lungs are weak.
and there is obstinate lingering cough.
"Golden Medical Discovery" puts the
body on a fighting footing against dis
ease, and SO increases the vitality that
disease is thrown off, and physical
health perfectly and permanently re-
stored. It has cured thousands who
were hopeless and helpless, and who
had tried all other means of cure
without avail. Twerty-one one-cent

An Effective DunninE Letter.

A youth was engaged as junior
clerk by a firm of lawyers and by way
Of filling in his time and testing his
worth on his first day he was told
to write a letter demanding payment
Of a debt from a client who was long
in arrears. To the great surprise Of
his employers a check for the amount
arrived the next day. They sent for
the young clerk and asked him to pro-
duce a copy Of the letter which had
had such an astonishing result. The
Letter ran as follows: Dear Sir: If
you do not at once remit payment Of
the amount which you owe us we will
take steps that win amaze you."-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

Daniel Beall left the boarding house of
John b. Swauger, Barton, Jan. p, so very
mysteriously that Swauger's neighbors
limited murder" This suggestion grew
louder and louder until Swauger determined
to clear himself. Nearly three months after
ward he heard of a man working at West :
saw-mill, 20 miles distant, answering to
Bealrs description. He at once visited the
mill and was overjOyed to find Beall alive
and well. Upon explanation of Swaugers
situation he agreed to return to Barton and
testify orally as well as IN p,opria persona
that he was not dead. That is what a Bar
ton scholar wrote of the affair stating also
that Mr.. Beall left Swaugers because some
of the boarders were person" no" yr"f".

No locks, no bars no burglar crimes
No politicians left to steal.
These last liv'd out their little time
And heap'd their puny pile of pelf;
They shone conspicuous in crime
And left no name behind but self.

Rockefellers, Carnegies, etc. of that day
would a thousand years hence be doing
good under names long since changed.
