Not a drop of alcohol enters into
DR.. Pierce's leading medicines. A
much better agent is used both for
extracting and preserving the me
dicinal principles, viz.-pure triple
refined glycerine of proper strength.
This agent possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being a most
valuable anti-septic and anti-fer-
ment, nutritive and soothing de-
mulcent.
Glycerine plays an important
part in DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery in the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia and weak stom-
ach, attended by sour risings,
"heartburn,", foul breath, coated
tongue, poor appetite, gnawing
feeling in stomach, biliousness and
kindred arrangements of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels.
For all diseases of the mucous
membranes, the "Golden Medical
Discovery" is specific. Catarrh,
whether of the nasal passages or of
the stomach, bowels or pelvic or
gans is cured by it. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is
well, while taking the "Golden
Medical Discovery" for the neces-
sary constitutional treatment, to
cleanse the passages freely two or
three times a dav with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough
course Of treatment generally cures
even in the worst cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caus-
ed by bronchial, throat and lung
affections. except consumption in
its advanced stages, the Golden
Medical Discovery" is a most efici-
ent remedy, especially in those OBJ
stinate, hang-on-coughs caused by
irritation and congestion of the
bronchial mucous membranes. The

Discovery" is not so good for
acute coughs arising from sudden
colds, nor must it be expected to
cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that
but for all the obstinate hang-on,
or chronic coughs, which, if neg
lected, or badly treated, lead up to
consumption, it is the best med
icire that can be taken.
It's an insult to your intelIi-
gence for dealer to endeavor to
palm off upon you some nostrum
OF anknostn eombositi0n in place of
DR.. Pierce's world-famed medicines
which are OF KNOWN COMPOSITION.
Most dealers recommend Doctor
Pierce's medicines because they
know what they are made of and
that the ingredients employed are
among the most valuable that a
medicine for like purposes can be
made of. The same is true Of
leading physicians who do not hes
itate to recommend them, since
they know exactly what they con-
tain and that their ingredients are
the very best known to medical
science for the cure CT the several
diseases for which these medicines
are recommended.
With tricky dealers it is dif-
ferelt.
Something else that pays them a
little greater profit will be urged
upon you as "jast as good, )" or even
better. You can hardly afford to
accept a substitute Of nnknoum COM
position and without any particular
record of cures in place of Doctor
Pierce's medicines which are OF
KNOWN COMPOSITION and have a
record Of Jortv jca's gf eurss behind
them. You know what you want
and it is the dealers business to
supply that want. Insist upon ii.

Wife Selling In Ennland.

As late as the eighties of the Inst
century cases of wife selling were nv
no means infrcquent In England, and
the thing was given an almost judicial
air by the care with which the yender
was supposed to observe three condi.
tions-irst. that the same wife could
NOT DE sold twice; second. that the
price must exceed one shilling, and
third. that she must be delivered to
her purchaser with halter round her
neck. Thomas Hardy, however. who
made the sale Of a wife the theme OF
his novel. "The Mayor of Caster

iitio1s. -

Are Diseases increasingly

There can Ee 70 question that the
prevalence ~ certain diseases has In.
creased during the last half century.
Conspicuous among these are dia.
bctes aud insomnia, both Of which are
largely due 20 the mental stress OF q
harder struggle for existence. The In.
creased consumption Of alcohol and the
free uss Of narcotics are also respon.
slble for many morbid conditions un.
known 20 our harder forbears. But.
In comparing the present prevalence Of
diseases with that Of the past. there
are several factors for which due al.
lowanee Is often not made. One Of
these Il that our forefathcrs died, as a
rule. at considerable younger age
than their descendants: II they did not
perish by the sword they were moved
down from time TO time by the plague
and other devastating epiiemics. In
this way they escaped many Of iha
diseases. not only Of Old age. but Of I'd.
vanced middle life. Again. Il must nc.
be forgotten that each generation rep
resented 90 much larger extent than
Is now the case the survival Of the III

childhood. The triumphs Of modern
hygiene Is that Il has preserved large
