The Scheme Did Not Work.

From the Kansas City Star.
The dignitied gentleman with the buck
skin gloves saw a pin lying on the ave
ment. He stopped to pick it up without
removing his gloves.
The first grab assayed about three
grains of dust, but the dignifled gentle
man persisted. A bootblack, a newsboy
and two loiterers stopped to see the per-
formance and with this nucleus the crowd
gathered rapidly and began offering ad-
vice.
Good for you old boy!"
Now you've got it,"
Somebody get him a spade.'
I say, amt O afraid of apoplexy?"
Stick to it," called a voice with a sus-
Picious intonation Of insincerity. Then
the pin was picked up and the dignified
man draw a small box from his waistcoat
pocket, opened it and exclaimed:
well said, my friend. Stick to it, has
always been my motto and you will find
it kown to each and every bottle of this
justly celebrated mucilage, which l am

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have ILL.,
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming aleo-
holic beverages, or by too close coniiiie-
ment to home, office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
in a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin-blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. As a result
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from. the blood GER
tain materials and return to it certain
others. It Is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work OF taking up from
ne food what 70 necessary to make good,
for tho 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 Che cure
These are found TO be safe and yet car
tain In their cleansing and invtIorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are; Golden Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there is Black Cherrybark.
The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as q solvent make tho most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined In Just tho
right proportions, as in Dr.. Piercs'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 value of tho
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure g!lycerine as a solvent and
usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,
With d1c0hoI.
The "Go]den Medical Discovery " is q
scientific preparation compounded Of the
glyceric extracts of the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains no
alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.
