comatose condition and barely alive.

after this he again lapsed into IN
consciousness and so remained until
the end came.
the past six months, the decedent had
been attending to his duties a gooc
portion of the time, but sixty days
ago, his aiiment became so pronounced
that he was forced to give up his work
altogether and take to his bed.
On April 1 he was taken co. the
Presbyterian hospital at Chicago
Here he remained but four days the
physicians holding out no hope for
either relief fer recovery and advising
that ne be taken home. Since reach

worse. His stomach has been unable
to retain food and he had suffered
g catly from nausea 1t was thought
at times that he could not survive

Early this morning he reused from
his stupor and acted as though he

must deal with the blood. 1t must be
able to eradicate and eliminate the
poisons which corrupt the blood and
breed and feed disease. When the
blood is cleansed, the pinples, blotches,
boils and other eruptions disappear,
ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh
becomes sound and healthy.
THE RIGHT WAY
to cleanse the blood from. scrofrlla is to
choose that remedy which has cured
thousands of people who suffered from
scrofula in its most grevious forms.

medicines in my practice" writes DIR.
Joseph Fike, of Lost Springs, Marion
Co, Kansas. ~Ten years ago there
was an emigration from Rusland to this
country and there was a lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her
mouth and throat were in an awful con-
dition, and there were Jumps on the out
side, below the jaws, the size of hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said it was fatal case. felt
confident that none of my remedies
would benefit her any. 1t came to my
mind that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for such
cases. so I went to the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave it to her to
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she is well to day. She is
married now and has three healthy
children
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry judged solely by the cures it has
effected is without doubt the most pow
erful and most perfect blood purifying
medicine of the century. It IS a radi-
cal remedy. 1t goes to the root of the
disease. Some preparations containing
mineral poisons such as mercury are
offered as cures for scrofula. These
medicines only suppress the symptoms

He presented to it the ground on

in England a couple of centuries ago.
At Whitehall or some other royal resi-
shrinkingly await the coming of the
king, in order to be Utouched for the

and it was the popular belief that scrof-

Hence the common name for scrofula
was Kings Evil.
Nowadays we know that scrofula is
disease of the blood and that even were

MARSHALL FIELD

The condemnation and closing of
an old road. past an ordinary rocky
Massachusetts farm, gave to the
world it's greatest merchant. Marshall
Field.
Born August Is. 1885. Gs years ago.
in Conway, Mass, as boy and youth
he grew healthy and strong. amid
the stony meadows and uplands of
the old Bay state.
The decision of the road case left
no land for Marshall. and he was APP
lprenticed. when but - years old, tn
n shrewd old Yankee storekeeper in
Pittsfield. Mass.
Up to this time he had endured
and enjoyed such labors and pleas
ures as fall to the lot of an average
New England boy on farm. His
schooling ceased AT this time, he
being fairly well grounded in the
common branches only.
There were seven other brothers
and two sisters i'm the family. The
store in which the young man was
placed was what in the smaller
towns was known as Il general
store" I'm the cities they are called
department stores.
In the opinion OF the proprietor.
the young lad would never make a
successful merchant; indeed he adj
vised his father to take him away
and teach him how To milk COWS,
about all he would be good for, ne
said.
But he did not leave the store. He
stayed with Deacon Davis till he was
81 years old; then. being out of his
apprenticeship, he left and came to
Chicago. That was in 1876.
He obtained n position with the
Wholesale dry goods firm of Cooley,
Wadsworth Il Co, doing business on
South Water street. All the capital
he possessed was health. sound prin-.
cipleS, ambition. and good business
sense. lie was never idle. He aimed
to earn for his employees much more
than they paid him. He made their
interests supreme To the end that i'm
the year 1850. four years after he
entered the house as an employe. he
came and went as partner, his
ability being the asset which com
mended him To the older members of
the firm.
Just about this time came the NUT
terings of the civil war, which was
soon to break over the lands.
When il did come, the advance in the
