A Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or starved
liver. 1t would be stupid as we'll as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of wliver
trouble" by its wonderful control of the
organs Of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the Secretfons of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection of other organs.
II you have bitter or bad taste in the morn
ing, poor or variable appetite, coated tongue,
foul breath. constipated or irregular bowels
feel weak, easily tired. despondent, frequent
headaches, pain or distress in "small of back I"
gnawing or distressed feeling in stomach
perhaps nausea DlCGer or sour :" "r1S1ngS" In
throat after eating. and kindred symptoms
of weak stomach and torpid liver, no medi-
cine will relieve you more promptly or cure
you more permanently than Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Perhaps only
a part of the above symptoms will be present
at one time and vet point to torpid liver or
biliousness and weak stomach. Avoid all
hot bread and biscuits. griddle cakes and
other indigestible food and take the UGolden
Medical Discovery" regularly and stick to its
use until you are vigorous and strong.
The UDiscovery" is non-secret, non-alco-
holic, is glyceric extract OF native medici~
nal roots with a full list of its ingredients
printed on each bottle-wrapper and attested
under oath. Its ingredients are endorsed
and extolled by the most eminent medical
writer's of the age and are recommended to
cure the diseases for which 1t is a0yised.

BIRDS OF ILL NATURE.

The Cruelty of swans as Displayed
Toward other Fowls.
The graceful swan is one Of the most
ungracious in It's ways. Not only Qn
the breeding season. does q male bird
resent the intrusion of q strange gen.
tleman, but it will spend the day In
driving off from its domain any un-
lucky geese which might be plainly as
eumed to have no designs upon its do
nestle arrangements and have, indeed,
no desire beyond that for a comfortable
wash and swim. 1t will also pursue
even the most innocent of newborn
ducklings while they unwittingly re-
ioice in an early taste of their common
element
When an only child has passed out Of
the cygnet stage Of life and grown to
full physical if not mental maturity
father and mother swans have been
known to fall upon and deliberately
beat it to death with wing and beak.
The gratified parents swan gracefully
about the mere in which they lived
while the great white corpse Of their
son lay battered and dead upon the
shore The following year, after an
other had been born to them and i'll in
fancy carried upon his mothers back,
they began to treat him so roughly
that. not being pinioned liee them, lie
wisely flew away, and we saw him no
more. Curiously enough, geese which
have experienced rudeness from swans
in the lusty spring have been known
to retaliate in the calmer autumn,
when the fierceness of their enemy had
become mftigated. / have seen a gan
der leap upon the back Of a once arro-
CANT swan and pound away at it in the
full enjoyment of gratified revenge
