A joint resolution is before the
present Legislature seeking to amend
the constitution So as TO permit cities
and counties by a vote of the major
ity of the qualified tax payers to
exempt from taxes for a term of
years manufacturing enterprises.
While believing that all property
should bear its just share of the bur
den of taxation it does seem that the
adoption of this amendment would
be good business inducement Just at
this time Texas needs factories
more than any other one thing and
relief from taxation for time
would likely have the effect of Undue

STATE BUILDING
NEAR COMPLETION
COMMISSIONER WIGGlNS BACK
FROM PORTLAND
Says That California VIII Make an
Excellent Display at the
Lewis and CLARK
Exposition

"The California building for the Lewis
and Clark exposition at Portland is
about finished" said Deputy Commits
sloner Frank Virgins yesterday on his
return from an official trip of two
weeks i'm the north.
MIR. Virgins. accompanied by Deputy
Commissioner Filcher of San Francisco,
had inspected all of the exposition
buildings at Portland and found all well
advanced toward completion.
Mr.. Virgins said: THE California
building is one of the handsomest on
the grounds. and is constructed SO
that It can be used to advantage for a
fine exhibit of products of the state, for
lectures, for art displays and for recep-
tions
"The exposition will open on June
and will close on October l5
"A large part of the California eX-
hibit is now in the building and more
will follow from different parts of the
state during the next ten days.
Deputy Commissioner Filcher will
return to Portland next Saturday and |
will go to Portland about April 20 to
remain until the close of the eXposi-
tion" "
Los Angeles herald., 1905-04-09

A high class manufacturer is not likely
to put an utterly worthless medicine on
the market, for it would react on his
good standing, would decrease his busi-
ness and lower his reputation, and in
cur pecuniary loss. It's not always the
case that a remedy which is easily pro-
cured at the drug store is put up in
a laboratory as thoroughly equipped
with every scientific appliance as the
Worlds Dispensary, in Buffalo, N. Y.
The founder and chief physician at this
great institution is DR.. r. V. Pierce.
There are dozen other qualified ply
sicians with diplomas from as many
thorough schools of medicine, such as
The College of Physicians and Surgeons,
Cv Columbia" ~ N. Y; The Buffalo Uni
versity, Medical Department; Harvard
University; Niagara University; Syra-
cuse University; Eclectic Medical Col
lege, New York, together with chemists
who are regular graduates of the School
of Pharmacy, Buffalo University, In
direct charge of the making OF Doctor
Pierce's Family Medicines.
With qualified chemists in charge OF
the large laboratory, with q dozen ply
sicians and surgeons employed to de-
termine and prescribe such remedies
and such means of cure as seem best
suited to the many thousands of cases
of chronic sufferers from diseases, who
call or write for medical advice, the
public are safe-guarded from harm by
the fact that these remedies are put up
in a thoroughly scientific manner and
are prescribed by these physicians
whenever one of their well known
remedies suits the case. The people
who refuse to use a thoroughly estab-
lished remedy of known composition
merely because it is a so-called "patent
medicine" are guilty of narrow-minded
fanaticism. There is habit nowadays
to decry the patent medicine, declaring
that it does more harm than good.
Undoubtedly there are patent medi.
cines whose virtues are exaggerated
and lauded to the sky which have little

THE MANUFACTURE OF
MODERN REMEDIES.
How Scientific Men Have Improved
and Developed This Branch
of Medicine.

The governments of civilized countries
favor the inventor, the discoverer, the
author by bestowing patent rights and
copvrights. This is to encourage further
and other Investigations and all for the
benefit of mankind. How much more is
the discoverer of remedy or combina-
ton of remedies entitled to honor and
reward when the medicine is known to
restore health and prolong life. He is
certainly entitled to success and profit,
particularly when it is necessary to main
tain large, well-equipped laboratories,
invest large capital and pay large sala-
ries to expert chemists, bacterlologlsts,
physicians and surgeons.
There is no guesswork about the
making OF DR., Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. The formula is exact; so
much of this root; so much of that
bark; so much menstruum-all must be
kept at the boiling point for certain
number of hours. The materials must
be of certain standard; the best OBJ
tainable. Chemists analyze them and
see that they are. The analysis is not
a rhit or miss" affair. 1t is os exact
as medical and chemical skill can make
it. Another thing you have the per-
sonal guarantee of DR.. K. Y. Pierce
that his "Favorite Prescription, for
weak and sick women, does not con-
tain a particle of alcohol, opium, digi-
tails or harmful drugs; this is also true
of his "Golden Medical Discovery"
consequently you are perfectly safe in
using either of these reliable we'll
proved medicines.
DR.. Pierce invites you to inspect his
enormous laboratory, located at Buf-
falo, N. Y, and see for yourself. Visi-
tors are welcome.
