AN IMITATION OF NATURES METHOD
of restoring waste of tissue and impover-
ishment of the blood and nervous force
Is used when you take an Alternative ex-
tract of herbs and roots, without the use
of alcohol, like DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. This vegetable medicine
coaxes the digestive functions and helps
In the assimilation of food, or rather
takes from the food just the nutriment
the blood requires.
Along with its use one should take
exercise in the outdoor air, get all one
can of Gods sunlight and air a mild
breathing exercise practiced each day.
This Medical Discovery" gives no false
stimulation, because it does not contain
alcohol or q narcotic. 1t helps diges-
ton and the assimilation of such ele-
ments in the food as are required for the
blood. Instead of cod liver oil, against
which the already sensitive stomach will
declare open rebellion, this tonic has a
pacifying action upon the sensitive stom-
ach and gives to the blood the food
elements the tissues require. 1t main
tains ones nutrition by enabling him to
eat, retain, digest and assimilate nutriti-
Gus food. It overcomes gastric irrita-
bility and symptoms of indigestion, and,
In this way, fever, night-sweats, head
aches, ETC., are done away with.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
purifies the blood and entirely eradicates
the poisons that breed and feed disease.
1t thus cures scrofula, eczema, erysipe-
las, boils, pimples, and other eruptions
that mar and scar the skin Pure blood
is essential to good health. The weak,
rundown, debiiated condition which sc
many people experience is commonly
the effect Of impure blood. DIR. Pierce.
Golden Medical Discovery not only
cleauses the blood of impurities, but i
increases the activity of the blood

Tine city council meeting Tuesday
night in regular session passed an or
dinance forbidding expectorating upon
sidewalks and cross walks. This ordi-
nance was drawn at the request of the
Floral & Improvement society. 1t pro-
vides for fine not to exceed s. and
that costs Of prosecution be paid by
anyone arrested for violating the edict.
The ordinance will be in effect on and
after its legal publication.
Such an ordinance is essential. Ev-
cry city should have a similar measure
on its ordinance book and the same
should be rigidiy enforced The health
of the public demands strict enforce

With the adoption of this ordinance
the question of passing an ordinance

Riot Ended In Murder.

Bridgeport, o.. Sept. 2s.-In a camp
OF colored miners near st. Clairsville
there was a general riot resulting
from a crap game. in which a dozen
negro women and a like number of
men took part. One negro was killed
by bullet which pierced his heart. A
second was shot In the wrist and
breast and possibly fatally hurt, and
several were knocked down and badly
cut and beaten. Neither the names Of
the dead and injured nor the murderer
can be learned by the sheriff, as he
cannot get the other members OF the
camp to say a word about the trouble.
After the shooting the murderer ss-
capped to the woods.
