The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her. churn. She
Scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to sWeeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritiye tracts are performed pro-
cesSes which are exactly akin to the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that If this stomach churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into il?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the echurn-absolutely
removes every tainting or cOrrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotcheS,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humOrs or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and despondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid, or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by the writings
of leading teachers and practitioners of
all the several schools of medical practice,
have been Skillfully and harmoniously
combined in DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction
if you will but mail postal card request
to DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y, for
a free copy of his booklet of extracts from
the standard medical authorities, giving
the names of all the ingredients entering

lnasmuch as the bill is identical in

amend the penal code so as to impose
death for burglary at night The au-
thor believes that the man who breaks
into a dwelling house at night is pre-
pared to take life, has murder in his

punished by the law
On Tuesday at noon the house and
senate will meet in joint session in
the hall of the house of representatives
