PROPERTY.

Every citizen of America increases the
national honor by aiding to shackle
falsity whether that falsity be by direct
robbery or by flching the good name
of a neighbor. Therefore DR.. Pierce
makes public the ingredients of that
wonderful tonic and blood medicine,
called DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t is misnomer to call it
patent medicine, for it is not, as DR..
Pierce makes known the ingredients as
here given. In calling your attention
to this preparation we are not asking
you to make trial of new discovery
1t is happy combination Of the medi-
cinal virtues extracted from some of
our well-known plants. During the
last forty years this medicine has cured
thousands of people of those stomach
disorders which cause untold ills
shown in the poisoned blood, in ex-
haustion of nervous force and general
debility. 1T has become the standard
remedy of thousands of bones in the
United States.
THE OPEN SECKEr.
Every one should know that DR..
Pierce has nothing to conceal, but that
his x Golden Medical Discovery" con-
tains the medicinal properties, scienti-
fcally extracted from the following
medicinal plants and roots:
Golden Seal (Hydrastis Ca,aadems;s).
Queens root (Stillingia Sy1vatica).
Stone root (Collinsouia Canadensis).
Cherrybark P,ssnats Vssyimiana).
BIoodroot (Sanguinaria Characteristics.
Mandrake (Podophyllasm Peltatuna).
Combining these ingredients in just
the right proportion to make an har-
monious and efficient remedy, without
the use of alcohol or other dangerous
agents. Only one of the efficient med
ical ingredients is
HYDRAsTIs Golden Seal root.
Kings American Dispensatory says
of this valuable extract: Kit was in
extensive use among certain early
Indian tribes as medicine.
aAids digestion; cures dyspepsia, gas
belching, eczema and skin diseases
due to CASTRO intestinal disturbances
valuable in convalescence from general
debility, protracted fevers, infamma-
tory affections. Specially useful in catar-
rhal states of the mucous membranes. 2
Why is it so many have been
strengthened and benefited by the
tonic effect of Doctor Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery? 1T is because al
this time of the year people feel ruI
down, neryeless, sleepless and worn
/ out. Poisons have accumulated in
their body during the long winter
Their blood stores up 2 lot Of waste

product which poisons the system.
That is why in the spring and early
summer a tonic is almost a neces-
sity. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery being made of medicinal plants,
is next to nature and the best tonic you
can use. For the same reason that
vegetables and green's are good for the
system at this time of the year, so is it
true that tonic made up entirely of
plants and flowers, without the use of
alcohol, is the proper medicine to take
at this time. It fills the blood with rich,
red blood corpuscles. It gives you a
feeling of strength, and it puts sunshine
into your system as no other remedy
can. That is why Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has been such a
favorlte for the past forty years. He
is not afraid to open his laboratory to
the public, and he invites every one to
visit his Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, to see how
systematically the sick are taken care
of and cured, as we'll as looking over
his huge laboratory and seeing the
scientific methods of preparing this
wonderful tonic Neither man nor
woman can be handsome who has i'm
purities in the blood, for it will show
in pimples, boils, and eruptions, in the
dark circles under the eyes and in
the sallow complexion. After taking
0Golden Medical Discovery" you are
! bound to have pink cheeks and fresh
complexion. The muscles get the
good, rich, red blood, that puts on
strength. It is flesh builder, but
not a fat builder.
AS as an example of the good results
thus obtained, note the following letter:
vln the year 1899, had an attack of
indigestion and got SO bad that my
home doctor said he could not do me
any good" writes Mr.. G. Trent, of Cor
donville, Texas. II wrote to you and
you advised me to use Dr.. itrce's
Golden Medical Discovery, SO I bought
six bottles, and when | commenced
using it I was so weak could hardly
walk about the house. By the time /
had used one bottle my stomach and
bowels commenced to heal There
were strips of the lining of my bowels
as large as mans two fingers passed
and | had great deal of misery in my
stomach and bowels, and also in the
rectum especially. I could not eat
anything without having much distress

). eight bottles of the Golden Medical
i Discovery was sound and well, and
could eat anything / pleased without
suffering in the least. Could also do
as much work in a day as / ever could.

His first part however of any real i'm

of the famous minstrel, T. D. Rice, in
1888, when he was only 4 years old. At
that time Rice was delighting the public
in famous negro Characterization of
"Jim Crow" The little Jefferson lad be-
came infatuated with the character OF
elm Crow and studied it closely, with
the result that he gave an almost perfect
imitation of the older man. Rice saw him
initiating him one day and was so struck
with it that he decided to take him on
with him. ~
Young Jefferson accompanied Eis father

days was made by canal boats steam
boats and stages, and entertainments

devoted wife and members Of his family
gathered at the bedside, Mr.. Jefferson
coherently babe them farewell, and then
expressed wish to once more gaze
across the waters that roared at his
