Habit-forming Medicines

Whatever may be the fact as to many
of the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals Of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been Of great interest in arousing needed
attention to this subject. 1t has, in q
considerable measure, resulted In the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected Of containing the injurious ingre-
dients complained Of Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, took time by the forelock,' as it
ingredients of which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be-
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of our American forests and OF
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases Of diseases, becomes highly objcc-
tionable from its tendency to produce
craving for stimulants, DIR. Pierce en-
elycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy in many cases of chronic diseases,
being o superior demulcent, antiseptic,
antiferment and supporting nulritive.
1t enhances the curative action of the

Hale, Of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools of
practice, the foregoing agents are the

The wrestlers went on the mat and

The second and third falls were to 60

in the second bout the big chap
whipped a half Nelson over on his
antagonist and foored him, all points

The under man was squirming on

peal. Just then the under dog squirmed
and the big fellows arm slipped from

Actors Famous Boat May Be Added to

Journal Special Service.
r. Chicago, Jan. 13.-Richard Mans
fields steel schooner yacht Amorita,
which is one of the handsomest pleas
ure sailing vessels in American waters,
will probably be added to the fleet Of
the Columbia Yacht club this spring. A
member Of the club, who will not al
low his name to be used, is negotiating
for the purchase Of the vessel, which
was placed on sale in New York several
weeks ago, and has gone, so far to Sc
cure a price on it and travel to New
York for an inspection. 49,.
If the purchase is made this boat
will be the largest and handsomest
afoat on the Great Lakes. It was built
in 1896 at cost Of about $40, 900, and
was remodeled in 1901. It is not alone
a magnifcently appointed yacht, but an
unusually fast one, valuable either in
racing or cruising. The boat has a
racing length Of 60 feet, and is 99.5
foot over all. It's depth is 1876 feet
and draught IL feet.
Two more yachts from the Hamilton
/ (Ontario) Yacht club will also probably
be added to the local fleet.

clever bit of acting to get Curtis out
of the game, but Curtis certainly put
a few pounds of pressure on the Chi

Michigan should learn the ethics of
craftsmanship. The wolverines are
poor losers and the old poker adage
that "those who can't pay had better
not play" will fit pretty well in their
case.
Hereafter when any football team
defeats Michigan it will be well for
them to raise the umbrella as soon as
the game is Overland keep it up for
three months. .-...
