a Judicious Inquiry.

"A well known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire Of customers
who asked for cough medicine
whether it was wanted for child or
for an adult, and if for child they
almost invariably recommend Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The rea-
son for this is that they know there
is no danger from it and that it al
vays cures. There is not the least
danger in giving it, and for coughs.

Cafes nj lunch-rooms are filled with men
and women who seem to give all their time
and attention to thoughts of properly or
improperly feeding their stomachs. VT is
of course best to eat slowly, but not too
rnuch,p says DIR. Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. In this
Goth century people devote SO much time
TO head work that their brain is tagged and
there isn't sufficient blood left to properly
take care of the other organs Of the body.
The stomach must be assisted IN its hard
work-the liver started into action-by the
use of a good stomach tonic, which should
be entirely of vegetable ingredients and
without alcohol. After years of experience
in an active practice, DR.. Pierce discovered
a remedy that suited these conditions in a
blood maker and tis~sue-builder. He called
il DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
An Alternative extract that assists IN the
digestion and assimilation of the food in

it needs for food and oxidation, the liver is

ter. When the blood is pure and rich, all
the organs WEEK without effort, and the
