Do You Want to Know &.
What You SWallo z

There is a growing sentiment in this
country in favor of MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION It Is but natural that one
should have some interest in the compo.
sition OF that which he or she Is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add to
the weil-earned reputation of his medi-
cines, DIR. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. y,
has "taken time by the forelock,' as u

stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart

ton" for weak, over worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement on
exactly what his well known medicines
are composed of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore un-
justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
of the several ingredients which enter into
Dr. Pierce's medicines. A copy of this
little book Is mailed free to any one de-
string to learn more concerning the valu-
able, native, medicinal plants which enter
into the composition of DR.. Pierce'S med
icines. Address DR.. Pierce as above. -

JAIL CATCHES AFIBE

Morgantown; Feb, The county
jail caught lire last night at nine
o'clock and for time there was dam
ger Of the building being consumed.
1t is thought the FIRE started from
an ovefheated stovepipe.
A portion Of the jail was soalscd,
aud that was probably the greatest
damage. The FIRE was soon uader
control. 1t was 4 pretty cold night
to handle hose, and the water soon
formed in ice wherever it fell, aud
the street was good skating
1t was not deemed necessary to
take the prisoners out Of jail and
there was little excitement, and lit
tie cause for any.
