mother of liver complaint from which
she had been a sufferer for fifteen years.
We highly recommend these medicines
to all suffering people"
Diseases which seem to be remote from
the stomach, but which originate i'll the
stomach are cured through the stomach
For this reason diseases of heart. lungs
liver, kidneys, and other organs are
cured by Golden Medical Discovery
when il has cured the disease of the
stomach and its associated organs OF
digestion and nutrition.
1t has been a surprise to many people
who have taken "Golden Medical Dis
coverv" for stomach trouble" to find
that as the stomach was cured, diseases
of long standing which had affected
other organs were cured also. The
weak heart becomes strong, the slug
gsh liver active, the clogged kidneys
are cleansed, the lungs made sound.
The whole body is practically renewed,
built up with firm, healthy flesh, and not
puffcd up with nabby fat.
Some dealers desiring to make the
little more profit paid by the sale of less
meritorious medicines will sometimes
offer the customer a substitute for
"Golden Medical Discovery" claiming
it to be " lust as good" Nothing is just

medicine has a record of cures compar-
able with those effected by the use OF

The march OF Time has dlspeled the

wise administration stand out in
marked contrast beside the fllmsy the

the end OF the Spanish war the army

"War on Women and Children"
From the New York Tribune

FROM tne New YORK Tribune.
The remark was made at Westminster
the other day. that Lord Kitchener would
| be remembered in history as one who had
made war on women and children"
That intended taunt was. of course, alb
surdly unfounded. But the phrase en-
ployed suggests a sadly true application
of itself, here in our own land, at this
present day. a brutal warfare is being
waged against women and children, and
men who are themselves impcrvious to
attack are being struck at with deadly
force through their wives and families.
That is the shocking state of affairs in
some parts of the Pennsylvania coal re-
gionS today. Some men have gone on
strike. as they have a perfect right to do
Other men. for the sake of maintaining
their wives and children. have remained
at work. as they have an equally perfect
right to do These latter are assailed by
the strikers with insult. abuse and men
ace. That is a wrong and n wicked thing:
These men should no more be rallied at
for working than the others should be
for not working. But the evil does not
end there. These men are willing to en-
dure such unjust cOntumely for the sake
of feeding and clothing those dependent
upon them. whom they are bound to
care for and to cherish, and for the sake
of vndicatinG their own manhood and
the freedom and dignity Of labor. There
upon their tOrmentors turn their batteries
of abuse and menace upon the women
and children for whose sake the workers
are enduring these things. The women
and children are insulted and threatened
with physical violence. and made to feel
themselves social pariahS all because
their husbands and fathers prefer to work
and support them in comfort rather than
he idle and let them suffer. In some
cases. young women have been driven or
dismissed from honorable business en-
gagements simply because their fathers
prefer working to striking. Thus n sys-
tematlc. brutal warfare is waged against
women and children. and men are attack
ed on that vulnerable side for which
every sentiment of chivalry and fair play
should assure immunity from attack.
1t Is Il spectacle diScreuitublc to Amer-
can manhood. The strikers have no right
to interfere with the workers in any way.
But If they wish to do 50. and are willing
to incur the penalty of the law which
they thus violate. they should at LEAST
nave the courage and the manline..s to
contne their hostile attentions to able
bodied men. To attack women and chill
dren Is cowardlyland contemplate.

From the Washington Star.

From the Washington STAR
II IL evident that the striking hard-coal
miners OF Pennsylvania are determined
to force the flooding of the mines. They
nave not as vet indugcd In hostilitics,
but they have invoked n weapon even
more potent than the rifle or the torch.
They have instituted boycott proceedings
against all who now work In the mines.
Provlsionors who sell them goods are
boScotted, and the threat of starvation
is becoming menacing The children are
avoided at school. The youngsters who
work In mills are Stunned by their for
mer associates. and In some of the cstab-
llshmcnts there are threats of strikes IL
the children Of non,inon mine workers
are not discharged The street railway
union Is even threatening tn refuse to
allow the mine force to ride on the cars.
and to strike II the companies insist upon
permitting them passage.
In short, II Is the deliberate purpose OF
the strikers to force every last man out
of the mines. to bring about their flood

continue In their passive resistance Not
content with depriving the owners of the
profits of working the mines and the pub
lie of the normal supply of coal at the
usual prices. the men demand the de-
struction of half Il billion dollars worth
of property. and perhaps the permanent
extinsuishment of II great industry
The boycott is one of the most cruel
means of coercion. 1t affects the inno-
cent and ramifes with dangerous facility.
