THE WAY 1T WAS.
The Pcdiast Man Who Got Up
and Went to Business.

This is the way it was. The man had
been sick with rrheumatism and a COM
plication of troubles" and had been bed
fast all winter. He had three of the best
physiciansin attendance, but hiscondition
baffled their skill. Then it CHANGED that
a pamphlet was put into his hands. He
read Of cures of men and women whose
condition suggested his own, and he said:
THAT medicine is Just wAat 4 need.
Send for bottle at onee.n
If every sick person would reason as
logically and act as promptly as did this
man, there would be many more bedfast
people able to be up and go to business.

low in his body as in any other mans
If millfonaire's blood be impure, his
wealth can't preserve him from the skin
eruptions which usually indicate the
blood's impurity. And if either king or
millionaire wants to be cured, he has to
use the means open to the poorest person
in the land. There is no royal road to
health more than to learning.
ALL PEOPLE ARE ALIKE.
Since we are all alike, flesh and blood,
then what cures disease of flesh and
blood in one case should cure it in any
case under similar conditions. That was
the argument of the man who was bed
fast and the sequel proved it to be sound
and logical.
uQuite number of years ago, when I
was a girl at home, my father was pros
trated upon a bed of Sickness writes
Mrs. P. M. Wheeler, of No. Ann Place,
Bradford, Pa. vHe had rheumatism and
a complication of troubles which baffled
the skill of three of our best physicians.
All through the winter months he lay
upon his bed, suffering severely at times
with rheumatism in his limbs. While in
this condition pamphlet containing
description of DR.. Pierce's remedies fell
into his hands. I do not remember
whether it was left at the door or came
through the mails, but I do remember
of his sitting up in bed and reading it
through and then exclaiming, That
medicine is just what need Send for
a bottle at once ! Just then neighbor
came along who was going to town I'VE
lived in the country, five miles from the
nearest drug storey and we sent for a
bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. We laid aside the DOCTORS

father the Golden Medical Discovery

days he felt worse, as is often the case.
After that he commenced to gain. His

DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has an unsurpassed record as blood
purifying medicine. Not only does it
cure rheumatism but diseases in general
which have their cause in an impure
condition of the blood, such as eczema,
scrofula, erysipelas, boils, pimples, ul-
GERS, sores, etc. The cures effected by
uGolden Medical Discovery are perfect

AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Will Be Waged by Railroad Officials
 for Through Traffic.


 Chicago, March 11.-Otficials of rail- roads east of Chicago are preparing to wage an active campaign for through business to the Pacific coast. Within q comparatively short period six east ern lines have appointed coast agents, with Jurisdiction over all territory be- tween Chicago and the Pacific coast.
 The latest appointment is that of II. R. Deering, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania. Hereafter Mir Deering's Jurisdiction will extend clear to the coast and he will be eN- pected to make frequent trips there in The interest of his company. Speaking of his enlarged Jurisdiction MT Deer ing said that it meant that eastern roads were beginning to realize the growing importance of passenger traf- lie to the western country. The amaz- ing growth of travel west in the last two years has resulted in the eastern roads perfecting organizations along the coast, from the far north to San Diego on the south. A great deal Of attention also is going to be paid to in termediate points, owing to the 1m- portance recently assumed by Cobra do. Utah and the northwest and the southwest as tourist centers.

ANGLo-JApANEsE TREATY.
Tremendous Surprise And Act of High
 Political Wisdom.

Political Wisdom.
 St Petersburg, Feb. I9.-The Rus sian press has had extraordinarily lit- tie to say about the Anglo-Japanesc treaty. Neither the Novoye Fremya nor the St Petersburg Vedomosta the two newspapers which are usually most interested ill the far east, have had a word of comment. The SvJet published a para graph briefly reflect ing the official view. The Noyosti de- voted, to the suject one of it's usual colorless articles. Tie Bouboe Ga- zette, alone inspired information closely To-day one finds a sarcastic and ironical article in the extreme reactionary Moscow Nedomosti ill which the treaty is characterized as being as complete a fiasco as the An glo-German agreement and as having merely Journalistic importance Of course, says this paper, it cannot change the Oriental policy of Russia.
 The explanation of thu. silence of tine press, saving those papers which arc content merely to mirror official ylews is simple Count Lamsdorff. the for eign minister, immediately gave the newspapers notice that ue did not de- sire unfavorable comment on the treaty or such comment as would indicate chagrin.
 What do you think of the treaty." The Associated press correspondent asked one responsible editor.
 T think 1t is not very nice for Russia he replied, but I dare not say so in my paper"
 Apparently Count Lamsdorff's in- Junction did not reach the provinces. The comment of the Odessa papers is in a different vein. The Jujnoc Obozrenie Southern Review) says.
 ''The real importance of such tr aaties rarely corresponds precisely to the text. Therefore, one must suspend judgment. At present t would seem that the principal obje:t ill view is the naturalization of France in case of war between Russia and Japan"
 Tie paper Italicizes the last sen te ce.
 The Odessa Novosti peonounces tle treaty q tremendous surprise and an act of the highest political wisdom. The Approchement of Japan and China naturally lends the treaty incr aased importance in British eyes since 1t creates sort of Dre;bund foe the maintenance of the Status Quo ill the far East.
