The disappointing features of the
Russo Jap war is still the fact that
none of the awful names are so much
as injured.
Americans are known as a dyspeptic
people. The extent OF this disease
may be inferred from the multitude of
so called "medicines" offered as rem
edy. They are often In tablet form
and have no value except as palliatives
Of the immediate effects of dyspepsia.
The man who used them may feel bet
ter but is surely getting worse. They
do not touch the real cause Of the dis
ease. DR. Pierce's Golden medical
Discovery is a medicine specially pre-
pared to cure diseases Of the stomach
and organs OF digestion and nutrition.
Il Is not made to give temporary relief
but to effect permanent cure. In nine
ty-eight cases out OF every hundred Il
cures perfectly and permanently. 1t
has cost DR.. Pierce S25,O00 TO give
away IN the last year the copies Of his
Peoples Common Sense Medical Ad-
wiser, which have been applied for.
This book Of zoos pages is sent free on
receipt Of q one-cent stamps TO pay
expense Of mailing only. Address Dr.

She was, possessed of most pleasing disposition, and her death coming in the manner it did, in a distant city away from those most dear to her, came as a great shock to her many friends. all of whom will greatly miss her smiling face and cheery good morrow. At Normal school Miss Quin- Ian was a great favorite and her class mates can hardly realize that she has passed away. She leaves mother, Mrs John Barry of Water street, and one sister, Miss Mary Quinlan, besides host of friends, to mourn her loss. The deceased was q member of the Children of Mary.
