Do You Want to Know
What You Swallow :?

There is a growing sentiment in this
country in favor of MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION. 1t 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 well-earned reputation OF his medl-
cines, DIR. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
has Utaken time by the forelock," as it
were. and is publishing broadcast list
of all the ingredients entering into his
leading medicines, the "Golden Medical
Discovery the popular liver invigorator,
stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart
regulator; also of his "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" for weak, over worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and Out-sp0ken movement on
the part of DIR. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore I'M
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 writer's
of the several ingredients which enter into
DIR. 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.

TIE UP THE DOCS
People in All Pats Of the City Asking
 For Protection.

The items in the Democrat last week about dogs pleased everybody about the center and in all prob- ability an effort will be made to have another order issued by the mayor requiring owners of pets to keep them off the public ways. The mer- chants are complaining now and when they get their backs up the dogs may expect to hear something drop. One of them said this after- noon that to properly care for their trade business men have to devote considerable time to the conduct of dogs and that 1t is a burning shame to have them at large in the crowded parts of the town, when they not only do a great deal of damage to property, but cause considerable un- easiness to timid folks who are con- stantly in dread of being bitten. An other man said he hopes to see law passed which will prevent man from having dog at large in any part of the town Do you know" he continued that many people enter and leave their own homes in mortal dread of brutes owned by tenants who have absolutely no use for them. The family on the first floor in the block l live in have two or three dogs that keep bowling all night and never allow anybody to go in or out without making rush for him. Is this right? I think everybody has kept his tongue in his cheek too long on this dog question. If man wants dog and has suitable place for him nobody has right to find fault, but the idea of maintaining dogs on the public streets where men, women and children have to fight their way past them is disgrace to any community and think Mayor Thoms is just the kind of man to put his foot down hard upon it." Alas, for the time when the dog was monarch of all he surveyed. It looks as if he had seen his finish and that in order to be allowed to live in the Brass city he will keep on his mas ter's property and behave even there. We'll, they say every dog has it's day so that the CUTS of Waterbury needn't wonder If they wake up some fine morning and find them- selves down and out.
