SEVENTY YEARS OLD.
Former President Cleveland Enters
Upon Seventeen Year Sunday.

Princeton. n. j., March 17.-Former
President Cleveland enters upon his
SEVENTEEN year tomorrow. He win
pass the day quietly with his family.
The ex-President shows few signs of
his age. His fishing and hunting and
other forms of outdoor enjoyment
have kept him robust and healthy.
II has now been twenty-one years
since Mr.. Cleveland was first inaugu-
rated. Other presidents have sur
vived longer than that after taking
the oath OF Office. John Adams, in
augurated in 1897, lived twenty-nine
years afterward, to die on the same
day as Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson
survived twenty-five years after be-
ginning his first term. Madison's rec
ord was two years better. John
Quincy Adams made a record of
twenty-nine years. Martin Van Buren,
twenty-five and Tyler twenty-one. the
same as Cleveland. Fillmore survived
twenty-four years. II is significant
fact. and one that goes to show how
much greater is the strain of office
now than in the time of Fillmore. that
Mr.. Cleveland is the only man who
has lived a score Of years after be-
coming president since the Fillmore
administration.

COMMON SENSE

Leads most intelligent people to use only
medicines OF known composition. There
fore it is that DR.. Pierce's medicines, the
makers of which print every ingredient
entering into them upon the bottle wrap
pers and attest its correctness under oath,
are daily growing in favor. The COM
position of DR.. Pierce'S medicines is open
to everybody, DR.. Pierce being desirous
OF having the search light of investiga-
tion turned fully upon his formula. being
confident that the better the composition
OF these medicines is known the more
will their great curative merits be recog-
nized. Being wholly made of the active
medicinal principles extracted from ma
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with DR.. Pierce, and without the
use of drop of alcohol, triple-refned and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving. the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-the same as sworn to by
DR.. Pierce, and you will find that his
"Golden Medical Discovery" the great,
blood-purifier, stomach tonic and bowel
regulator-the medicine which, while not
recommended to cure consumption in it's
advanced stages (no medicine will do that
yet does cure all those catarrhal condi-
tions of head and throat, weak stomach,
torpid liver and bronchial troubles, weak
lungs and hang-On-coughs, which, if neg
lected or badly treated lead up to and
finally terminate in consumption.
Take the UGolden Medical Discovery
iq1 time and it is not likely to disappoint
you if only you give it thorough and
fair trial. Don't expect miracles. 1t
won't do supernatural things. You must
exercise your patience and persevere in its
use for a reasonable length OF time to get
its full benefits. The ingredients of which
DR.. Pierce's medicines are composed have
the unqualified endorsement of scores OF
medical leaderS-better than any amount
of lay, or non-professonal, testimonials.
They are not given away to be expert
mented with but are sold by all dealers in
medicines at reasonable prices.
