A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DR. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which 1t extracts and
holds In solution much better than alco-
hol would. IL also possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being a valuable
demulcent, nu.ritive, antiseptic and anti
ferment. II adds greatly to the efficacy
OF the Black Cherrybark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root, con-
tained in Golden Medical Discovery in
subduing chronic, or, lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all of which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medical authorities
In all cases where there Is a wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the early stages Of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glycerine acts as q valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about a healthy condition
of the whole system. OF course, IL must
not be expected to work miracles. II will
not cure consumption except in its earlier
stages. IL will cure very severe, obstin-
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn-
geal troubles, and chronic sore throat

animals live only in the purest wa

for every condition there is a life to

In all ocean basins, hills and ridges,

Some Of the animals of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need of them;
others have a hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest

age depth is over 10000 feet. Twice

less than 20 feet. The natural power
that controls the tide is a tremendous
