SOME SECRETS OF
PATENT MEDICINES.
The Origin Of Some of the
Famous Medicines,

F we could trace the origin of the
many things which enter into our
daily life we doubtless would be
greatly surprised at what we would
learn. In some instances we would
find their beginning in mere accident.
In other cases we would find that they
originated in some stroke of genius.
For instance, Comley's History of New
York State states that:
"Of the men who have given wealth,
stamina and character to the Empire
State, the medical profession has fur
nished example in. the successful and
Justly celebrated physician, DR.. R. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y. Especially
educated for the profession, he early
supplemented his studies by extensive
and original research in it's several de-
partments. Devoting his attention to
certain specialties of the science he has
so carefully investigated, he has been
rewarded in remarkable degree. That
his success is real is evidenced bv the
fact that his reputation as a man and
physician does not deteriorate, and the
fact that there is steady increasing
demand for his medicines proves that
they are not nostrums, but reliable
remedies for disease" DR.. Pierce's
establishment at Buffalo is one of the
show points of that fourishing city and
is well worth visit just to see how
modern medicines, even though thew
be patent, are compounded with the
utmost skill, by trained chemists, and
on the most scientific principles. It is
also worth while for the purpose of
seeing the methods followed by which
each applicant, whether he be cor
respondent or patient at the hospital,
secures the care of eminent specialists
in medicines and surgery. Once these
things are seen, it viii be speedily ac-
knowledged by the most skeptical that
all patent medicine businesses are not
the frauds which some careless papers
have declared them to be.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoy-
cry is pure medicine, made from
banks, leaves and roots of plants and
trees indigenous to America. 1t is a
remedy without alcohor or any poison
GUS Ingredient and taken from the sylvan
forests. 1t has. stood the test OF the
public's approval for the last third of a
century. For purifying the blood it
has no equal for positiveness and
safety. 1t is most effective for a
chronic cough, as it has soothing
effect upon the mucous membrane OF
the throat so that cough is smoothed
out and at the same time the blood
vessels are given stimulation which
throws off a cold, bronchitis or incipi-
emit consumption. Really cold is
nothing but the stagnation of the blood
vessels of the human system. If people
want to remain strong and healthy they
should see that their kidneys are active.

makes up a part of this good old
remedy, the "Discovery,n is the posi-
tive action it has upon the kidneys.
Many hundreds of testimonials have
been received by DR.. Pierce from those
people who have suffered from kidney
disease and have been cured by the use,
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery.
"Your Golden Medical Discovery
cured me of rheumatis after l had
tried dozen remedies without relief
and also gone West in search of
health" writes Harry Hitter, of 1915
9Th Street, Denver, Colo. "Only those
who have suffered with this dread
malady know the pain and misery 1
endured for over five years. Whenever
the weather was damp or cold nv
troubles were increased and my Joints
would be so stiff and sore that 1 was
hardly able to move about and often
unable to dress myself. I used num-
Der of highly recommended medicines,
but they had no effect whatever on me,
and I came to Colorado hoping to re-
gain my health, but failed to obtain the
relief | had hoped for. A gentlemen
in the house where 1 lived advised me
l.
Discovery, and in four months and
half after | began using it was wen
man, and have had no touch of it for
the past seven months"
The most precious possession on earth
is perfect health. 1t is the ground
work of all prosperity in life; and few
people grudge any reasonable expendi-
ture which will be the means of restor-
ing it; but one of the most disheartening
things in the world is for any one who
works hard for his money to keep pay
ing it out for doctors and medicines
that do no earthly good. It is like
throwing it into the fire.
The vGolden Medical Discovery" is .
medicine that will help you no matter
what ails you. This is true because il
works directly at the root of all disease
the digestive system, the blood, the
nerves, the liver and kidneys. Keep
these in healthy condition and you
cannot be sick.
Many of the cures of the cGoldea
Medical Discovery" seem almost mirae.
ulous. Its effect is almost immediate.
1t takes hold at once. It tones up the
stomach, invigorates the liver, regulates
the bowels.
1t gets right in the blood and carries
strength and comfort to every fiber of
the body. 1t nourishes and invigorates
the weakened, irritated nerves and puts
the, entire system in perfect tune.
1t is safe medicine. Safe for adults
safe for children. It contains no

La Crosse, Wis, Feb 1.-THE primary cleo
ton law is being used for the first time in this
city this spring, and prominent members Of both
parties are Disguised with 1t. The republicans
have been trying for two weeks to secure a can
'dfdate for mayor and a. dozen prominent men IN
that party have been approached by a committee
of twelve appointed by the republican city chair
man, all of whom have declined the nomination.
Under the primary election law, adopted last
fall by vote Of the people, petitions must be
circulated for all candidates for office and must
receive the signatures of certain per cent
Of the voters Of the city. None of the cand1-
dates whose names have been presented have de-
sired to have their names petitions to be
circulated among the voters. and as result the
republicans thus far without candidate.

nomination the republican ticket L. c..

Under the present law it is impossible to draft
candidate, as was customary under the con-
vention system, and it is necessary to have the
candidate sign his nomination paper and de-
clare himelf candidate for the office.
The democrats have not had any trouble in
this respect inasmuch Mayor Torrance has
accepted a reorganization and his nomination pa
pers have been circulated and will be filed before
March 6, when all papers must be in the hands
of the city clerk.
