Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans. both men and women, are thin, pale and puny, with LOOT circulation. because they have ill., treated their stomachs by hasty eating or tco much eating, by consuming alcO- holic beverages. or by too close confine- ment 70 home. office or factory, and in consequence the stomach must be treated in natural way before they can rectify their earlier mistakes. The muscles in many such people, in fact in every weary thin and -blooded person, do their work with great difficulty. As result fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts long, The demand for nutritiye aid is ahead of the supply. To insure perfect health every tissue. bone. nerve and muscle should take from the blood cer tain materials and return to it certain others. It is necessary to prepare the stomach for the work of taking up from the food what is necessary to make good rich, red blood We must go to Nature for the remedy. There were certain roots known to the Indians of this country before the advent of the whites which later came to the knowledge of the settlers and which are now growing rapidly in professional favor for the cure of obstinate stomach and liver troubles. These are found to be safe and yet cer- tain in their cleansing and invgorating effect upon the stomach, liver and blood. These are: Golden Seal root, Queen's root, Stone root. Bloodroot. Mandrake root. Then there is Black Cherrybark The medicinal principles residing in these native roots when extracted with give erine as solvent make the most reliable and efficient stomach tonic and liver in vigorator. when combined in just the right proportions. as in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Where there is bankrupt vitality such as nervous exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin blood. the body acquires vigor and the nerves. blood and all the tissues feel the favorable effect of this sovereign remedy.
 Although some physicians have been aware of the high medicinal valne of ths above mentioned plants, yet few have 1sed pure glycerine as a solvent anG usually the doctors prescriptions callni for the ingredients in varying amounts. rith alcohol.
 The "Golden Medical Discovery is scientific preparation compounded of tho glsceric extracts of the above mentioned vegetable ingredients and contains no alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.

 Six clubs are mentioned in the resolu- ton, one of which was the Shakespeare club, which was later changed to the Alabama club. The resolution also in- structs the Mayor to advertise the act annulling the former acts in a newspaper in Birmingham for four weeks, ,sas Is re- quired by law. Following is the title of one of the acts and the resolution:
 "An act to be entitled an act to repeal an act entitled an act to incorporate the Southside Reading club of Birmingham, Alabama . The act was approved Feb ruary 13, 1897.

 The act Is then quoted. each one be-
 
 ing separate, and naming one of the five clubs.
 Alderman Cooper explained in intro ducng the resolution that it was a matter of great interest to the people of Birmingham and one to which the alder men should give their undivided atten- ton. He stated that the passage of such acts would be great help to the Mayor and the chief of police in the crusade against gambling in Birmingham.
 The alderman also stated that he and the city attorney had tried to secure the name of every club in Birmingham which operates under one of these charters and in which gambling is supposed to take place. He said that he was reliably in- formed that gambling went on in all the clubs named. He said that similar reso- lutions and acts would be drawn if the names of any other clubs could be se- cured.
