ana anomalous position AS the commis-
sloner of Indian affairs explains It:
As their reservation has been divided
and allotted under the law, they are citi-
zens of the United States and as citizens
they are not subject to even that benevolenf
despotism exercised over non-citizen reser-
walton Indians by the government. I do
not See that there is any federal authority
that can legally convey them back against
their will to the locality where thew he

Vided by the Constitution. If they ntrude
upon an Indian reservation, the most this
department can do is to arrest and expel
them and impose "a fine of 81 900 upon any
one of them who returns to that reserva-
ton without permission. But as they have
no money, the fine would be, for all practi-
cal purposes, a nullity. Threats OF the
guard house have no terrors. for the guard
house means free food and shelter and on

There are hundreds of thousands
of people all over this blessed coun-
try of ours who have been cured OF
obstinate, chronic diseases through
the use of DR.. Pierce's Medicines,
and it is only natural that such peo-
pie should rise up and speak their
sentiments pretty freely when DR.
Pierce and his medicines are SO I'm
Justly attacked.
These grateful patients of DIR.
Pierce are to be found in almost
every hamlet and country village
and in the farmhouses and mechan-
les cottages in every nook and cor
ner of this great country. Common
gratitude prompts such people to
stand up and defend DR.. Pierce and
his medicines against unjust and ma
licious attacks.
DR.. Pierce's Medicines have been
on sale in drug stores all over this
country and in many foreign lands
for more than forty years, and yet
their sale continues to grow in a
substantial and most gratifying way.
This could not be the case if they
were not remedies of more than or
binary merit.
WHAT DO THEY CURE?
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is not advertised as Cure
ALL" but admirably ful6lls a single
ness of purpose, being a superior
and most positive remedy for one
class of diseases only-those easily
recognized weaknesses, derange-
ments, irregularities and painful dis
orders peculiar to women. 1t is a
powerful, yet gently acting, invigo-
rating tonic and strengthening nerv-
inc. For weak, WORKOUT, over
worked women-no matter what has
caused the Observation-Disclosures it
be from too frequent bearing of chill
dren or from much worry, care, or
over-exertion of any kind, "Favorite
Prescription" will be found most eff
fcient in building up the strength,
regulating all the womanly func-
tons, banishing pain and bringing
about regular and healthy, vigor-
Gus condition of the whole female
system. Thus it corrects prolapsus,
or falling of womb, retroversion,
anteversion and other displacements
of the female pelvic organs, due to
weakness or over-exertion, lifting or
fatiguing \overwork.- In short, it
makes weak women strong and sick

AS to DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-

means recommended as Cure

was worthless; that the soil would not
grow anything; that the allotments were
not sufficient that they were not allowed
to make selections: that the most fertile
parts of the reservation were given to the
white settlers: that they were allowed no
pasturage for their horses and cattle but
only got eighty acres each, and could not
support their families such a limited
area in an arid country, which, unfortu-
nately, is true. They wanted to go to the

If that were not allowed they would ask
permission to hunt on the Powder river

he could for them in every way, but could
not make any specific pledges.

cry" for its blood-cleansing and spe-
cific curative effects upon the dis
eased mucous membranes 1t will
cure very large per cent of all
cases, even after they have reached
the Lucrative or chronic stage, and
NO MATTER OF HOW MANY
YEARS STANDING THEY
MAY BE. 1t is equally efficacious
in affections of the mucous lining Of
the larynx, bronchia and respiratory
organs i'll general, thus curing bron-
chltis, laryngitis and other affec-
tons giving rise to obstinate, hang
on coughs. 1t is not so good in
acute coughs following sudden colds
as in the lingering, chronic coughs.
Nor must the Golden Medical Dis
covery' be expected to work mir
acles. 1t will not cure consumption
in its advanced stages-no medicine
will do that, but for all obstinate,
hang-on coughs due to laryngeal or
bronchial irritation and kindred af-
fections of the throat which, if neg
lected or badly treated, are likely to
lead up to consumption, the Dis
covery' can be relied upon to pro-
duce the best curative results.
THE Golden Medical Discovery"
is, from its tonic and specific cura-
tive control over mucous surfaces,
especially efficacious in curing indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, weak stomach
and Liver Complaint" or bilious
ness. Even liberation of the stomach
and bowels has in thousands of cases
been cured by it; also obstinate
chronic diarrhea.
In addition to all the foregoing.
not the least valuable of the marvel

unequaled regulating and strength

wonderful cures of very pro-

THE REASON WHY Golden

in a booklet sent free on request
mailed to DR.. R. V. Pierce, Buff

for it.
The powerful Alternative or blood
purifying properties possessed by
the Discovery" will naturally sug-
gest its use for the cure of blotches,
pimples, eruptions, as eczema, salt
rheum, and other skin affections, in
all of which it has made remarkable
cures; also in scrofulous sores and
old, open ulcers, or eating sores. To
heal the latter, use DR.. Pierce's ALL
