The Best Guaranty Of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle OF DR.. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y, has printed
upon Its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into It's composition. This fact
alone places DIR. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines u. a class all by themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent ct secret
medicines because they are neither. This
iswhy so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them TO
their patients. They know what they
are composed Of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DIR.

great stomach tonic, liver iuvigorator,

70 u place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, OF proper
strength, Is a better solvent and preserv-
ative of the medicinal principles resid-
Ing In our indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than Is alcohol: and, further
more, that 10 possesses valuable medicinal
properties OF its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and most efficient
antlferment.
Neither Of the above medicines con.
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as win be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ tlrem
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position of DIR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writer's of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.

be regarded as a great law giver. or

abhorred affectasions OF all kinds.
He was q natural philosopher OF no

son Mountain, in Reynolds county,
where we had camped for the night, 4,
and an old gentleman OF the neig h.
borhood came along, and with an
astonished manner listened to the
Governor as he spoke OF the grant te,
the prophyry, the sandstone and the
limestone formations which sur
rounded US, and the hundreds OF
thousands OF years which it had
probably taken to form the granite
boulders, when our guest said to
him: "Man, you do not believe In

in God" Governor Brokmeyer an.
swered In his earnest way: 81 do be-
lieve In the Bible, but not as you in
terpret It, and l want to tell you
that l am not q fool. 1t is the fool
who has said In his heart: "Ther Q
is no God'." l had frequently heard
this quotation from the Bible, but 1t
never so impressed me as when l
heard it from Governor Brokmeyer.
It came to me that night while the

that the man who could say In his

out beneath the arched heavens on

Governor Brokmeyer was full Of
sentiment, lofty sentiment. Hewas,
as Prof. Snider has told you, a poet.
He had capaclous heart also. He
put bis wife and children above all

defining his dutyto those about him:
"Man's frst duty is to his wife and
