DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. II
Is natures most valuable and health giving
agent--made without the use of alcohol. 1t
contains roots, herbs and barks, and is the
concentration of natures vitality as tonnd
in the fields and woods. This remedy has
a history which speaks we'll for it because
It was given to the public by DR.. K. V;
Pierce, founder of the Irvalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y, nearly
forty years ago, and has since been sold by
druggists in ever increasing quantities.
Some medicines, tonics OF compounds, en-
ioy a large sale for few years, then disap-
pear from the public attention, but Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
proved such a reliable blood remedy and
tonic that it ohcn enjoys the confidence OF
several generations IN family, and its in.
creased sales year by year coming from the
recommendations of those who have tried
it, prove its lasting merit, so that every
bottle bears the stamp of public approval.
Every other blood-maker and tonic tor the
stomach that we know Of contains alcohol,
but Dr. Pierce guarantees that no alcohol
is contained in his Medical Discovery"

the matter of Mr.. Darby's titles
and came to the conclusion that
the land was the property of the

homestead entry under the laws of
this state. Under this opinion.
he filed his application in the land
office at Baton Rouge last June

Note Drawn by Lorenz Produced In
Postal Trial. =

Ok CQSS0u IGvaJs e ~
Washington, Feb. 4.-Shortly be.
fore adjournment Wednesday counsel
for the defense in the postal trial pro-
duced a note dated July 1, 1893, for
$4,000 drawn by George E. Lorenz in
favor of August w. Machen. In the
opening statement of the defense Mr..
Kumley, in behalf of Lorenz, said he
would prove the existence of an in
~debtedness of this amount on the part
of Lorenz to Machen., The note, he
said, was offered for this purpose and
as explaining the various remittances
forwarded by Mr.. Lorenz to Machen.
A hundred Of more notes aggregat-
ing $4,000 were identified by Presi.
dent S. D. Carr of the National Bank
Of Commerce Of Toledo, O., as having
been discounted by his bank on the
loans of Lolenz ana his brother and
Machen, the loans having been made
to enable them to develop their oil
properties in Wood county, O.
Mr.. Carr further testified that Ma
chen had sold out his interest to Lo.
REM, the bank accepting the single
enorsement of George e. Lorenz.
Earlier in the day Diller B. Croft
produced various checks in favor Of
his brother as evidence that he had
paid him all that was due as his share
of the profits. Mr.. Croft explained his
failure to send remittances to 10
renz after November, 1902, by the
fact that the government still owed
Croft Brothers $4,000 and that it was
necessary to pay the manufacturers
of the fasteners.
