TITLED HERMIT Is DEAD,

ST. CROIX, Wis. Jan. 29-[Spe-
cial. John Maidmendt, an heir to Brit
ish titles and wealth in his earlier years,
is dead at the Wisconsin asylum for the
insane at Mendoza, aged 80. He is said
to have been a near relative of Baroness
Burdette Couttes, and his career has
been one Of considerable mystery.
Maidmendt came from England years
ago. He was a graduate of Hiedel-
berg. He drifted to Wisconsin and pur-
chased a farm, where he lost much
money in trying to raise blooded stock
About forty years ago he visited Eng
land and brought back much money and
jewelry, some of which he deposited in
banks and $4,000 are supposed to be
buried on the farm. He lived alone and
scarcely exchanged a word with his
neighbOrs for years at a time.

Natures Way Is Best.

The function strengthening and tissue
building plan of treating chronic, linger-
ing and obstinate cases Of disease as pur-
sued by DR.. Pierce, is following after
Natures plan OF restoring health.
He uses natural remedies, that Is
extracts from native medicinal roots,
prepared by processes wrought out by
Inc expenditure of much time and
money, without the use of alcohol, and
proportions.
Used as ingredients of DR.. Pierce,s
Golden Medical Discovery, Black cherry
bark, Queens root, Golden Seal root,
Bloodroot and Stone root, specially exert
their influence in cases OF lung, bronchial
and throat troubles, and this "DIsCov-
cry" Is, therefore, a sovereign remedy
for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs,
catarrh and kindred ailments
The above native roots also have the
strongest possible endorsement from the.
leading medical writer's, of all the several
schools of practice, for the cure not only
OF the diseases named above but also for
Indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious
bladder bles and catarrh, no matter
where located.
You don't have to take DR.. Pierce's
sAy-so alone as to this; what he claims
for his discovery is backed up by the
writings of the most eminent men in the
medical profession: A request by postal
