"The Blood is The Life"

Science has never gone beyond the
above simple statement of scripture. But
it has illuminated that statement and
given it meaning ever broadening with
the increasing breadth of knowledge.
When the blood is rbad or impure it
is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also
clouded, the mind and judgement are
effected, and many an evil deed or impure
thought may be directly. traced to the
impurity of the blood. Foul, impure blood
can be made pure by the use of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
enricheS and purifies the blood thereby
curing, pimples, blotches, eruptions and
other cutaneous affections, as eczema,
letter, or salt-rheum, hives and other
manifestations of impure blood.

In the cure of scrofulous swellingS, en-
larged glands, open eating ulcers, or old
sores. the UGolden Medical Discovery has
performed the most marvellous cures. In
cases of old sores, or open eating ulcers,
it is well to apply to the open sores DR..
Pierce's All-Healing Salve, which pos
sesses wonderful healing potency when
used as an application to the sores in con-
junction with the use of rGolden Medical
Discovery as blood cleansing consti-
tutional treatment. II your druggist

At Anchor,

A chief of bureau in the navy de-
partment tells good story of the time
when one Of the secretaries of the navy
got the notion into his head that Of
ficers should not permit their wives to
reside at the foreign stations to which
their husbands might be attached. So
an order to that effect was promulgat-
ed Soon thereafter considerable per-
plexity and no little amusement was
afforded the secretary when he receiv-
ed the following cablegram from Com
modore Fyffe, then in command of the
Asiatic squadron:
Secretary Navy, Washington;
It becomes my painful duty to report
that my wife, Eliza Fyffe, has, in dis
obedience to my orders and in the face
of regulations of department taken up
her residence on the station and persist
