and nervous force is used when you take
an Alternative extract of herbs and roots,
without the use of alcohol, like DR.. Picrce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This vegetable
medicine coaxes the digestive functions
%and helps in the assimilation of food, or
rather takes from the food just the nutri-
ment the blood requires.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
purifes the blood and entirely eradicates
the poisons that breed and feed disease.
1t thus cures scrofula, eczema, erysipelas,
boils, pimples, and other eruptions that
mar and scar the skin. Pure blood is
essential to good health. The weak, run
down, debilitated condition which so many
people experience is commonly the effect
of impure blood DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery not only cleanses the
blood of impurities, but it increases the ac-
tivity of the blood-making glands, and it
enriches the body with an abundant supply
of pure, rich blood.
No matter how powerful the intellect or
the resources of intellectual power, it must
be backed up by physical force. Every
day the youth or man must manufacture
a pint of rich, arterial blood, that is pure,
stimulating to the brain, and that can re-
build the tissues that were destroyed in
yesterdays work.
Dr.. Pierce's Pellets cure biliousness.

The wonder Of Women

From the New York American.
How can we call lovely women coy
and hard to please when a vulgar per-
SIN with martial mania, named
Hoch. succeeded in marrying some
sixty of them, and was saved from be-
ing hanged for the murder of one or
| two because of an unknown lady,
seeming charmed with his record, and
ready to becomt the siXty-first, put up
the money necessary to secure new
trial? And then there is the case OF
the Indiana man who seems to have
furnished new proof of the adage,
"Unlucky in war, lucky 10 love. "
Having suffered the loss Of two legs,
the news docs not specify how, he ad-
vertlsed for wife, not neglecting to
explain his loss and its partial repara-
Jion with legs of cork. Result 12S
eager applicants.
And now, If not in our midst. at
least somewhere in this vicitity, is
lurking a gentlemen, not over beauti-
ful according to his pictures, with
Dinkelspiellan sort OF name, who has
been following the pleasant profession
OF marrying, borrowing and skipping.
His total of wives the police estimate
at 100; his best record IN a seven.day-
go-as you please was one wife a day,
his biggest haul thus far reported was
81 800 borrowed from blushing
widow who accompanied him to the
altar without being led or otherwise
cOerced.
Seriously however, it is a certain
this facility with which
women fall prey to cool rascals who
offer marriage. Hoch is universally |
described as vulgar of habit and |
ape 'ch, and repellant in person. Witt.
hoff seems to be more presentable but |
quite as vlllainouS. Carleton, who is
in all in Brooklin, charged with all
sorGs of crimes was vicious and Oh
scure. Yet to each Of these women
came readily making no study of their
antecedents, scarcely questioning
their lying stories, asking only the
formality OF marriage" which the
earlier ties Of the men made wholly
worthless.

Rheumatic twinges, headache, and the
pains of dsordered stomach are frequent
reminders of the strain and hardships OF an

are affected too seriously to right themselves,
and prompt treatment is necessary The best
treatment consists of DR.. Miles Restorative
Nervine, which restores vitality to the nerves
and helps them to throw of various dis riders
which bring about pain and suffering. There
is nothing so good for the stomach and bow

act directly upon the nerves of the digestive
organs, speedily restoring them to normal
activity.
