Verdict for DR.. Pierce
AGAINST THE

Sending truth after lie. 1t is an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting it's boots
on" and no doubt hundreds of thousands

malicious attack upon DR.. r. V. Pierce

in the May l904) number of the Ladies'
Homo Journal, with its great black dis

BILE, groveling retraction, with its incon-
spicuous heading, published two months
later. 1t was boldly charged in the sand-
erous and lbelous article that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, for the cure OF
woman's weaknesses and ailments, con-
tanned alcohol and other harmful ingredi-
ents. DR.. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for 5000 ,0OO,0 90 damages.
DR.. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witty the intent of injuring his
businesSSf Furthermore. that no aiconol, or

business of DR.. Pierce was greatly injured by
the pu9lHatlon OF ne ibelGps article Wlta N
thousands who read the wickedly defamatory
article never saw the humble groveling re-
traction, set in small type and made as incon-
spicuous as possible. The matter was. how
ever brought before jury in the Supreme
Court of New York State which promptly
rendered verdict in the Doctors favor.
Thus his traducers came to grief and their

Washington in the interest of his race.
In the ten years of Indian warfare
on the plains. from 1870 to 1880, Good
Voice was a peacemaker, and was a
signer of nearly every agreement made
between the government and the Sioux
tribe.
In his dying hours he has given to
the world a statement full of interest,
defending his people, as follows:
Il always obeyed the rules of the
government.

give our children to the school. / was

to keep our children on the reservation,

used TO have war with the Indians. But
! always took the governments part
and helped them What ] mean by
helping the government is, when Gen
eral sherman had fight with the
4 Cheyennes. a Cheyenne shot horse
under Sherman, and in doing my duty
killed the Cheyenne.
The government asked the Indians
to consider whether they will help the
government by acting as scouts, which
was the first member, holding the
office as sergeant.
The government asked me to be
good, both TO the Indians and to the
whites, which the government knew |
had we'll fulfilled. In about 1876 an
Indian killed a white man and the
army officers requested the Indians to
turn the Indian over to the authorities.
But the Indians We're afraid to arrest
him. so went and arrested him ana
took him to the authorities
I'm the same year Crazy Horse. one
of our chief warriors, was arrested In
our camp. and l was ordered to take
him to the fort, which l did; and that
another time two white men who
were carrying mail from Camp Sheri-
dan to the Black Hills got into trou-
Bile which resulted in the killing of one.
Chief Spotted Tail was notified to have
the other white man arrested and
was ordered to arrest him, which kidd
and turned him over to the authorities
which afterwards hung him for his
crime.
Il have been in Washington several
times as delegate. and on these occa-
sions | have fully represented my peo-
pie on good government. / have all
ways looked for good government.
therefore | asked the government to
hear from me once moro.
Il shake hands with our agent. the

THE METHOD THAT WINS.

man began work as farm hand; ne

occasion presented itself accepted a
proposition to buy his employers

offered at $40 per acre; he had saVei
$2,0o0-think of it: and still young
man. He arranged to pay the cash
but on the day appointed the man who
was to loan him $4,000 failed him. He
was, downcast, but on telling his story
to one of our business men he was
told to go ahead and complete arrange
ments: that If he had $4,000 within a
week the necessary amount would be
placed at his, disposal. The deal was
made: this was three years ago. He
has since paid off $4,000 and the inter-
est, raised lot of live stock and few
DAYS ago received an offer of $500 per
acre for his farm which was refused
