Ought, it would seem, to give exemption
from the diseases which prey upon the
residents of thickly populated cities.
But there is no exemption from disease,
and III the country, as i'll the city, one
may see the cheeks grow hollow and the
eyes grow dull while the frame wastes
away with that terrible disease, con-
sumption.
Weak lungs are made strong by the
use of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t cures obstinate and stubborn
coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs
and other symptoms which, if neglected
or unskillfully treated, terminate fatally
in consumption. The action of Golden
Medical Discovery in the curing OF vast
ing diseases is entirely philosophic.
Emaciation, and consequent loss of
weight, are among the most striking
symptoms of what are known as vast
ing diseases. The body is not being ade-
quately nourished, and the cause OF this
lack of nourislsuent is not lack of food
but lack of ability in the stomach and
the other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton to prepare the food for the assimila-
ton and nutrition of the body. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures
diseases of the stomach and the organs
OF digestion and nutrition, and 80 en-
ables the body to be nourished back to
strength in the only way by which
strength can come that is. by food per-
fectly digested and assimilated.
Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
is temperance medicine. 1t contains
no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine or
any other narcotic.
Accep no substitute for tt Discovery
There is nothing "just as good {" /o, you.

Azeler, and he had long kept at bay both
police and gendarmes A few days ago.
while AzeIer was engaged in manufac-
turing some housebreaking tools, the
sound Of a hammer striking an iron at
tracted the attention Of a forest guar
dian.
Asked what he was doing, the outlaw
fred on the guardian, and the charge
lodged in his arm. Another man named
FOugues then fired on Azeler who disap-
peared into his cave. At a late hour at
night he had not reappeared and the
gendaTmes who were waiting for him
feared TO approach the outlaws den, as
ii was difficult Of access. and they knew
Azeler would not hesitate to fire on them.
After prolonged parley. however. the
outlaw who had been wounded by the
shot from NJ FOugues' rife, consented 10
give himself up, and a rope was lowered
into the cave. AzeleT placed it under his
armpits and he was drawn up to the
top of the precipice. He was then
marched of to prison.
When the cave was examined it was
found to be completely furnished with q

was also a regular arsenal. including six
