 II is the uniform testimony of those who have been cured of scrofu)ous dis eases by the use of rGolden Medical Discovery" that the cure is permanent.

 From half civilized or unsanitary countries come the plaques which deci- mate the teeming popula- tions of the Orient. Sani- tary science and medical skill have banished the plaques from among our selves, but civilization has its own scourge in that form of scrofula which attacks the lungs and is popularly known as con. sumption.
 Plaques are not per. sistent. They appear and disappear q again for years. Scrofula of the lungs or consumption is a persistent disease. Every day Of every year it gathers in its victims; one-sixth of all deaths from disease being attributed to consumption. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery cures scrof- ula wherever it finds 1t.

Speaking of food a railroad man
says:
My work puts me out in all kinds
of weather, subject to irregular hours
kinds of food.
For seven years l was constantly
troubled with indigestion, caused by
eating heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy,
poorly cooked food, such as are most
accessible to men in my business Gen
orally each meal or lunch was follow
ed by distressing pains and burning
sensations in my stomach, which de-
stroyed my sleep and almost untitled
me for work. My brain was so muddy
and foggy that it was hard for me to
discharge my duties properly.
This lasted till about a year ago,
when my attention was called to Grape
Nuts food by a newspaper ad. and l
concluded to try it. Since then l have
used GrapeNuts at nearly every meal
and sometimes between meals. We
railroad men have little chance to pre-
pare our food in our cabooses and I
find Grape-Nuts mighty handy for it Is
ready cooked.
TO make a long story short, Craps
Nuts has made new man of me- I
have no more burning distress in my
stomach, nor. any other symptom of in
digestion. 1 can digest anything so

A government employer of many wo-

is bounded on the north by her clothes,
on the south by her social relations,
on the east by her private hopes, and
on the west by her income; four solid
walls that shut out very thoroughly

The Highest Railway Bridge

A notable engineering work is now
being executed in France and involves
the construction of a viaduct across tue
Sioule Valley near Vauriat. This struc-
ture, known as the Fades viaduct,
when completed will be the highest rail-
way bridge in the world, the level of
the rails being 434 feet inches above
the bed of the stream. There are two
granite masonry tower piers which are
founded on solid rock and rise to a
height of 303 feet These piers stand
ing alone have the appearance of large
chimneys, but their function is to sup
port the three steel spans, which have
the unusual length of 4I2 feet inches
for the center span and 31S feet for
each of the fianking spans. The latter
connect with masonry approach spans
formed by circular arches. This bridge
differs from other structures in the
use of masonry instead of steel for the
center towers, and the use of lattice
girder deck spans instead of the arch
construction Of either masonry or steel,

valley.-Harper's Weekly.

GET RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable IL to
Do Its Work


When the stomach is feeble the food
hes in it undigested, decays and throws
of poisonous gases that distend the
walls OF the stomach and cause inter-
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment.
Miss Minerva Q. Ladd, of Ipswich,
Mass, says: 81 had a weak stomach
from the time I was a little child.
Whenever l took hearty food it would
cause terrible faintness, and / would
finally vomit what / had eaten. At
times there would be the most intense
pains through the upper part of my
body. For days in succession, I would
have to lie down most of the time.
The distress was often so great that I
could hardly bear it, and the, frequent
and violent belching spells were very
disagreeable, too.
"My doctors medicines gave me little
relief and it was not until l tried DIR.
Williams Pink Pills that found cure.
Within three weeks decided improve
ment was noticeable. The belching
spells were less frequent, the pains
through my body were not so intense,
my food was retained and after taking
the pills for few weeks longer found
that I was altogether free from the
miseries had so long suffered"

to Eat and How to Eat" Write the DIR.

Wants to Know Too Much.

Recently there was series of burg
laries committed in the fashionable
section of Baltimore. So anxious were
the police authorities to apprehend the
culprits that instructions were issued to
roundsmen to exercise extraordinary
vigilance during their tours of inspec-
ton.
On one occasion, just after midnight
an officer saw emerging noiselessly from
a house in Eutaw place a young man,
who hastily darted down the street
The officer made after him as rapidly
as possible. When he had stopped the
young man he said
Did you come out of the corner
house just now?'
The young fellow, though of quite a
respectable air, seemed i'll at ease. Il
did" he answered, with some confu-
sion.
do you live in that house?" sternly
demanded the officer.
That's an impertinent question" re-
piled the young man in a tone of great
Indignation. Il don't see what bust
ness of yours it is, so long as her father
doesn't object. Success.

Narrow Escape of "a Trout.

A correspondent relates that he shot
a flying heron that had been fishing
in the River Colne at Uxbridge, and
as. the bird fell there dropped out of
its mouth trout nearly one-half
pound in weight
The fish was alive, though scored on
the back. A keeper procured a live
bait can, filled it with water, and put
the trout into it. After a minute Or
so the fish gained strength. In a few
hours it seemed quite resuscitated, and

OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
GIN RANTY OF MERIT.

When the maker of medicine, sold
through druggists for family use, takes
his patients fully into his confidence by
frankly and fearlessly publishing broad
cast as well as on its bottle wrappers,
full list of all its ingredients In plain
English, this action on his part is the
best possible evidence that he is not
afraid to have the search light of inves-
tigation turned full upon his formula
and that 1t will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough investigation.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the
cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional arrangements OF the or
gans distinctly feminine. is the only medi-
cine put up for sale through druggists for
woman's special use, the maker of which
is not afraid to take his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
A glance at the published ingredients
on each bottle wrapper, will show that it
is made wholly from. native, American,
medicinal roots, that 1t contains no poi
sonous or habit-forming drugs, no mar
cotics and no alcohol-pure, triple-refined
glycerine. of proper strength being used
instead Of the commonly employed alcO-
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found in
the roots of the American forest plants
employed. It is the only medicine for
women's peculiar diseases, sold by drug
centage of alcohol, which is in the long
run so harmful to woman's -delicate nerv-
Gus system. Now, glycerine is perfectly
harmless, and serves valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all its own,
and besides it enhances the curative
effect of the other ingredients entering
into the HFavorite Prescription"
Some of the ablest medical writers and
teachers endorse these views and praise
all the several ingredients Of which VA

ommending them for the cure of the

famed medicine is advised. No other
