Few people can understand the feel
ings of the pugilist as he is being counted
out. He hears the seconds ticked off.
He struggles to rise, but struggles in
vain. He has lost the fight.
There are some who are making
losing fight for life that can appreciate
this; those whose lungs are diseased.
With every tick of the watch, they know
that they are being counted out.
The great question is how can a quick
rally be made to continue the fight
against disease? Many who have asked
that question have found satisfactory
answer in the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
obstinate, deep-seated coughs, hemor-
rhage, night sweats, emaciation, and
other conditions which if neglected or
unskilfully treated may find a fatal
termination in consumption.

Reed, of Jefferson, Jefferson Co., Ark, III was

entirely cured of a disease from which had il
not been for your wonderful Discovery would

There are cures behind every claim
made for the "Discovery," which no
Vjust as good " medicine can show.

bodies were then riddled with bullets
The active members of the mob
numbered about so and wore masks.
The militia had been called out hv
authority of the governor about mid
night, but as everything appeared
quiet they had disbanded. when the
mob suddenly appeared and battered
down the Jail door. No resistance was
made.
The negroes had been hid in the at

found them and drove rapidly out Of
town, firing as it went After hang
ing the negroes the mob quietly dis
persed The negroes admitted the
crime. They beat young womans
brains out with rocks because she
tried to make them leave the prem

Only once did either of the boys
give any outward signs of emotion

boy was made to climb the tree, when
he broke down and cried piteous!y

been previously acquitted of the crime.
