There is another fact about the, cures effected {

heart trouble and proGration." The
"Discovery" made complete cue-not only
of the diseased stomach, but also of the kidneys
and heart Golden Medical Discovery" cures
through the stomach discusses of organs which
seem remote from the stomach when these dis
eases have their origin in the diseased condition
of the stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition. The philosophy of such cures is
easy to understand. When the stomach is weak
there is failure of the digestive and assmilative
powers. The result is that the nutrition con-
tanned in food is only partly extracted, and as
consequence the body is only partly nourished.
Then as the body includes heart, liver, lungs,
kidneys, and other organs it's parts it follows
that insufficient nutrition for the body means
insufficient nutrition for the heart, liver, lungs,
kidneys, and the organs which go to make up
the body But lack of nutrition means weak
ness. For that reason "weak" stomach leads
to weak" heart, "weak" lungs, "weak" kid
neys, ETC., and when the "weak " stomach is
cured and the body and its organs are perfectly
nourished the other "weak" organs are cured

If we want to get an idea Of the wide preva-
lence of stomach "trouble" we have only to
note the numerous advertisements of so-caled
''remedies for disorders of the stomach. 1t
is in part due to the abundance of these prepa-
rations that diseases Of the stomach reach such
painful aud serious proportions The earlier
symptoms of stomach trouble, sour or bitter
risngs, helchngs and feeling of undue full
ness after eating, may be relieved by the use of
these simple palliatives. But though the
pleasant symptoms are relieved, the disease
goes right on until some day it reaches an acute
stage where palliatives powerless, and even
the ordinary treatment of physicians is unable
to afford moro than temporary relief
DR., Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
gaining wider recognition every day as one of
the most valuable of medicines, because of its
cures of diseases of the stomach and other Or
gans of digestion and nutrit On. The cures
effected BY the use of "Golden Medical Dscov-
cry" include a remarkable number of so-caIed
"hopeless cases." cases diagnosed by local ply
scians catarrh of the stomach intestinal dys-
pepsia and other forms of acute disease of the
stomach. These cures are so many and so va
rious that no matter what form of stomach
trouble one may be afflicted with he may begin
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry with the assurance that cure is certain
if it is within the scope of medicine to cure at
all. In forty nine cases out of fifty where it is
faithfully used the " Discovery" will cure.

He Will Devote His Time for

sOnal Business.
The State, 10Th.

considerable speculation as to
what would be Gov. McSweeney's
course in politics this year. Many
have thought that he would stand
for reelection as governor, and
more recently the belief has be-
come somewhat general that he
would stand for the senate. He
has persistently declined to have
anything to say on the subject of
his course even to many who had
written to him. Now, however,
he announced that he will not
stand for either of the offices indi-
Gated, but will devote his time to
his personal business for a while
at least.
when asked by corresp pondents
for statement as to his intentions
the governor yesterday said: 81

times in the past few months
what intended to do politically.
a great many of my friends have
showed a very kind interest in
my future and seemed anxious to
know what | intended to do. l
have Invariably replied that had
not fully determined my plans
and therefore could give them no
definite answer. Many of my
friends in different parts of the
State have urged me to become
candidate for reelection to the
Office of governor. 1 appreciate
more than | can say their kindly
interest and voluntary offers of
support and especially their COM
mendation of my course as gov
ernor. During my term of office
have endeavored to discharge my
duties faithfully and conscien-
tiously, and my purpose had al
ways been so to act in all matters
presented to me that l would feel
right about whatever action |
might take. Any man in public
office, especially in the position
OF governor, may expect to have
his actions criticised. There are
always those who will find fault,
and 1 have never objected to
honest, legitimate and fair crit
icism. l have given to the press
every official act, whether it was
the granting of a pardon or a com
mutation or the refusal of one,
whether it was the issuing of a
proclamation of any kind or the
appointment of an official, for
have held that the people were
entitled to know what was being
done by their servants. | have

acts have been an open book to
