Dr. Pierce's medicines, however, form a single and therefore striking exception to the above rule. Their claim to the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon their owners and makers say-so or praise. Their ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottle-wrap- per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. Scores of leading medical men have written enough to fill volumes in praise of the curative value of the several ingredients entering into these we'll known med icines.
 In favor of Dr. Pierce's medicines is the frank, confding, open, honest state nent of their full composition, giving every ingredient 70 pldi,s English, with out fear of successful criticism and with confidence that the good sense of the afflicted will lead them to appreciate this honorable manner of confding to them what they are taking into their stomachs when making use of these medicines.
 WHAT THEY CURE. People often ask uWhat do Dr. Pierce's two leading medicines Golden Medical Discovery and Favorite Prescription cure2"
 Briefly, the answer is that vGolden Medical Discovery is most potent aI terative. or blood-puri6er, and tonic, or inviEorator, and acts especially favor ably ln 9 curative way upon all the mucous lining surfaces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom- ach, bowels and bladder curing large percentage of catarrhal cases whether the disease affects the nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach i(as catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels as mucous diarrhea), bladder, uterus or pther pelvic organs. Even in the chronic br uleerative stages of these affections, it is generally successful in affecting cures. In fact the vGolden Medical Discovery" is without doubt, the most successful constitutional remedy for all forms of catarrhal diseases known to modern medical science. In Chronic Nasal Catarrh Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy fluid should be used for washing and cleansing out the nasal passages while taking the rDiscovery6 for its blood cleansing and specific, healing effects upon the mucous lining mem branes. This combined local and gen eral treatment will cure very large percentage of the worst cases of chronic nasal catarrh, no matter of how many years standing they may be.
 As to the oF2Yorite Prescription,n it is advised for the cure of one class oi diseases only-those weaknesses, de- rangements and irregularities peculiar to women. It is a powerful, yet gently acting, invigorating tonic and neryine.

Delivered the Goo ds.

The late Senator M. S. Quay of Pennsylvania. kept all the letters his constituents wrote to him asking for tavors, says the Saturday Evening Post. He had stacks of them when his last great fight for the senate came along. Then he sorted out the letters, eliminating those from people who were dead and on the back of each letter wrote: Dear John or Bill Do you remember when you wrote me this letter and do you remember that I did what you asked? I want your help now in my fight for the senate. Can l have it?" The politicians in Pennsylvania say those letters mailed to the original senders with Quay's re. quest on the backs of them. had as much as any one thing to do with Quay's winning his fight.

CARDS CURSE OF BLINDNESS.
Affiiction Little Heeded by the Fatal
 ists of the Gast.

The first thing that impresses the stranger at Cairo is the number of olind-men, women and children-to be found everywhere in the shops and on the streets. Ophthalmia is very prevalent throughout Egypt Because of superstition concerning the evil eye" the native mothers of the middle or the lower class do not wash the eyes of their babes at all. Watching the flies buzzing un- needed around and upon these blind children, stranger hastens to buy a fly whisk. These are for sale every where, and are quite attractive with their ornaments of fancy beads and palm leaf fiber. Blind beggars greet one at every corner Even in the high class Egyptian families there are many blind The lower classes of Egyptians are given much to hasheesh that is, the lower classes in the large cities-and, although it is against the law to sell it, one will have the hasheesh places pointed out and the men who smoke the drug are seen everywhere. They are distin- guished by the peculiar appearance of their eyes, which become red, swollen and baggy underneath, and by the peculiar color of the skin, which resembles somewhat the skin of a Chinese opium smoker.
