iiy gazed breathless at this strange
tragedy of the air. Then they went back
to the sick room to tell of the terrible
struggle for life they had just witnessed.
1t did not occur to them that under their
very eyes a more terrible, more pathetic
struggle was going on daily.
There can be nothing more pitiful
than the struggle the consumptive
makes against disease. The greatest
help in this struggle is gained by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It cures obstinate coughs, weak
and bleeding lungs, emaciation, and
other ailments which if neglected OF
unskillfully treated find fatal termina-
ton i'll consumption.
UIn 1858 one of my daughters was suffering on
account of severe cough, hectic fever, wasting
of flesh and other symptoms OF diseased lungs"
writes Rev Joseph H. Fespefman, OF Bar1um
Springs Iredell Co., N. C. 81 promptly gave
her DT. r. V. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
with gratifying success, and she now enjoys
excellent health. This being true, l hereby
heartily endorse your medicines"
Accept no substitute for "Golden Med
ical Discovery" There is nothing "just
as good" for diseases of the stomach,
hloCd and lungs.

A Cure for Eczema.

My baby had eczema so bad that its
h, ad was a solid mass of scabs and its
hair all came out. I tried many remedies
but none seemed to do any permanent
good until used DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve. The eczema is cured, the scabs
are gone and the little ones scalp is per-
teetly clean and healthy, and its hair is
growing beautifully again. I cannot
give too much praise to DeWltt's Witch
Hazel Salve-Frank Farmer, Bluff City,
Ky, In buying Witch Hazel Salve look
out for counterfeits. DeWitt's is the
Original and the only one containing

ONE OF DIR. CUPID'S PRESCRIPTIONS.

That Love sometimes cures disease Is
fact that has recently been called 60 the
attention of the public by prominent
physician and college professor. In some
nervous diseases Of women, such % hys-
terra, this physician gives instances where
women were put in pleasant frame OF
mind, were made happy by falling in love,
nervous troubles-the weak, nervous sys-
tenn toned and stimulated by little DR..
Cupid became strong and vigorous, al
most without their knowledge. Many q
woman is nervous and irritable, feels drag
ged down and worn out for no reason that
she can think of. She may be ever so
much in love, but DR.. Cupid fails to cure
her. In ninety nine per cent. of these
cases it is the womaniy organism which
requires attention; the weak back, dizzy
spells and black circles about the eyes, are
only symptoms. Co to the source Of the
trouble and correct the irregularities, the
drains on the womauly system and the
other symptoms disappear. So sure OF ii
is the Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, proprietors of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, that they offer $500 reward
for women who cannot be cured of leuccr.
rhea, female weakness, prolapsus, or fall
ing Of the womb. All they ask Is q fair
and reasonable trial of their means of cure.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets clear the
complexion and sweeten the breath, they
cleanse and regulate the stomach, liver and
bowels and produce permanent benefit and
do not react on the system. One 10 q
gentle laxative.

MARKS ON MEXICAN MONEY.
Chinese Bankers Afnx Their Seals to
Guarantee Its Genuineness.


Chinese Bankers AfRx Their seals 20
Guarantee Its Genuineness.
AS everybody knows, Mexican dollars
circulate in large quantities in the far
east, where bankers send large quaint
ties of Mexican silver dollars every
year.
A year ago reporter saw one Of
the Mexican pesos that had been in
circulation in China for some time and
was surprised to find it covered with
small Chinese characters like so many
seals. This dollar was shown to LANG
Hsun, Chinese minister, who explained
the presence Of the marks as follows:
1.-The bankers, of whom there are hun
dreds In China who receive Mexican
dollars, affix to them their seals to guar
antee their legitimacy, and as pesos
circulate and go from one bank to an
other they are being marked by ali the
banks who receive them. In case the
who sealed it last has to change it for
good money and withdraw 1t from cir
2ulation.
when the pesos are completely COW
cred with seals they are sent back to
Mexico to be recoined, the expense be-
Ing paid by all the bankers whose seals
are seen on the coin. 1t is in accordance
with a recent agreement that 1t often
happens that dollars, although marked
all over their two faces, continue in
circulation and are highly esteemed, as
the seals are so many guarantees that
they are genuine. The decision to seal
pesos was taken because illegal coins
began to circulate in China." Mexican
