Babies

Fat is of great account
to a baby; that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby is scrawny, SCOTS
e m u sion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as fat what it does
not need Immediately for
bone and muscle. Fat
babies are happy they do
not cry they are rich :.
their fat is ! aid up for
time of need. They are
happy because t hey are
comfortable. The fat sur-
rounds their little nerves
md cushions them. When
they are scrawny tn ose
nerves are hurt at every
ungentle touch. They
delight in SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t is as sweet as
wholesome to them.

Much more, did space permit, could
be quoted from prominent authorities
as to the wonderful curative properties
possessed by Golden Seal root.
We want to assure the reader that
rGolden Medical Discovery" can be
relied upon to do all that is claimed for
Golden Seal root in the cure of all the
various diseases as set forth in the
above brief extracts, for its most
prominent and important ingredient is
Golden Seal root This agent is, how
ever, strongly reinforced, and its cura-
tive action greatly enhanced by the
addition, in just the right proportion
of Queens root, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Bloodroot, Mandrake root
and chemically pure glycerine. All OF
these are happily and harmoniously
blended into a most perfect phar-
maceutical compound, now favorably
known throughout most of the civilized
countries of the world. Bear in mind
that each and every ingredient entering
in the uDiscovery" has received the
endorsement of the leading medical
men of our land, who extol each article
named above in the highest terms.
What other medicine put up for sale
through druggists can show any such
professional endorsement For dys-
pepsia, liver troubles, all chronic catar-
rhal affections of whatever name or
nature, lingering coughs, bronchial,
throat and lung affections, the "Dis-
covery" can be relied upon as a sover-
egn remedy.
BY reading the little book noted
below any one will readily see the
applicability of the rGolden Medical
going list of diseases as well as many
other chronic affections, especially
those of the heart, kidneys, bladder,
skin and blood.
A little book of extracts treating of
all the several ingredients entering into
DR.. Pierce's medicines, being extracts
from standard medical works, of the
different schools of practice will be
mailed free to any one asking (by postal
card or letter., for the same, addressed
to DR.. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, and
giving the writer's full post-office ad-

In cases of chronic ailments, at

Weighty Professional Endorsements.

That the several American medicinal
roots, the concentrated glyceric extracts
of which make up DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, have the strongest
kind of endorsement by scores of lead
ing medical writer's of all the several
schools of practice, a brief glance at
the standard works on Materia Medica
will show. Of Golden Seal root, which
is one of the prominent ingredients of
~Golden Medical Discovery, )" DR.. Roberts
Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical Col
lege, says: rVery useful as a stom-
achic (stom ach) tonic and in atomic
dyspepsia. Cures gastric (stomach)
catarrh and headaches accompanying
same" He also mentions catarrh of
the gall due {, jaundice and constipa-
ton as diseases which the use of
Golden Seal root overcomes also
catarrh of the intestines, even when
it has proceeded to liberation, is
remarkably benefited by Hydrastis

DR.. Grover Coe, of New York, says:

ular diseases, cutaneous eruptions, in
digestion, debility, chronic diarrh9a,
constipation, also in several affections
peculiar to women, and in all chronic
arrangements of the liver; also for
chronic inflammation of bladder, for
which DR.. Coe says cit is one of the
most reliable agents of cure"
Prof. Hobart A. Hare, M. D., of the
University of Pa, says of Golden Seal
root that it is uof service in chronic
catarrh of the stomach and bowels,
following abuse of alcohol, and as
tonic after malarial fever" He further
says, it vhas a distinct anti-malarial
influence" Also "good in all catarrhal
conditions, as uterine catarrh, leucor-
rh9a, etc., and as "a curative agent in
chronic dyspepsia"
Prof. Laurence johnson, M. D., of
the Medical Department, University
City of N. Y, is equally loud in his
praise of Golden Seal root, especially
for its tonic effects in convalescence
from acute diseases and its special
tonic influence upon mucous surfaces
and upon the gall bladder.
Doctors Barton and Tully recon-
mended Golden Seal root as a pure
tonic and as an alternative in dis
eased conditions of the mucous men,
branes.
Prof. John King, M. D., late of Gin
cinnati, author of the AMERICAN DIS
PENsAToRY, gives it a prominent place
among medicinal agents, reiterates all
the foregoing writer's have said about
it, as does also Prof. John M. Scudder,
M. D., late of Cincinnati. DIR. Scud-
der says: ut stimulates the digestive
processes and increases the assimilation
of food. By these means the blood is
enriched, the consequent
on the glandular and
nervous systems are natural results"
DR.. Scudder further says, uin relation
to its general effect upon the system,
there is no medicine in use about Which
there is such general unanimity of
opinion. 1t is universally regarded as
the tonic, useful in all debilitated

els j. Lantry, Commissioner Of Chari-
ties and Corrections, yesterday began
the construction Of a forty-ton ice
machine capable OF turning out $1,000

water piped TO the island from city
mains, and there will be storage space
nearby for about 900 tons. It is esti-
mated that the ice VII cost the city
not more than s1.S5 a ton and that tho
total cost Of installing the plant viii
not exceed $4,000 of which $4,000

THREAT TO EXPEL
$500 LODGE Men
Grand Master Of Odd Fellows
in New Jersey Begins War
on Saloon Men
BACKED BY AN OLD LAW

with the support Of the Sovereign
Lodge law, passed in 1895. but which
never has been enforced, Wesley b..
Stout, Grand Master Of the Grand
Lodge Of odd Fellows of New Jersey,
has opened war upon saloon keepers,
bartenders and gamblers in an effort
to drive them out Of the lodges It
will mean the expulsion OF about
thirty-fve hundred members from the
craft.
These questions are now being asked
in circulars which have been sent out:
HAS any of you members since
January /, 1896. become a saloon keep
er. bartender or professional gambler?
If so. is he still in such business?
Have you initiated or taken into your
lodge since January /, 1896, any saloon
keeper, bartender or professional gam
bler?"
Each lodge is given until August 20
to notify all such persons to abandon
such pursuits Failure Of the men 20
quit such business will be followed by
dismissal from the lodge.
This move comes with stunning force
upon the lodges In view Of the fact
that the law in question has never been
enforced. On the contrary, saloon
keepers especially have been initiated
without question in great numbers IN
the populous cities.
Grand Master Stout lives at Ocean
Grove. He is a strong prohibitionist
land is at the head Of the prohibition
movement in Monmouth county He
is also a trustee and official i'm the First
Methodist Church Of Asbury Park. He
is a lawyer.
Many lodges in Newark, New Jersey
city, Camden, Trenton, Paterson, Pas
sale and the larger cities practically
have ignored the law Of 1895. although
nine successive attempts i'm the Sover-
eign Lodge to have it repealed have
failed.
or the twenty-seven thousand MEM
bers in New Jersey there are probably
three thousand amliated who come
under the provisions OF the prohibition
This number. 1t is stated. is rapidly
increasing, and certain officers Of the
lGrand Lodge. realizing that the saloon
element might eventually become so
strong as to be menacing to the in
terests OF the order, called attention
to the law and the Grand Masters
action followed.
Many Of the saloon keepers are
