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.
d!ycerine 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 a 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 dav with DR.. Sage's S
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough
course OF treatment generally cures
even in the worst cases.
In coughs and koarseness caus.
ed by bronchial. throat and lung
affections, except consumption in
its advanced stages, the Golden

ent remedy, especially in those OBJ
stinate, hang-on-coughs caused by
irritation and congestion of the

CESS widely known travelling sales
man whose home was at this place,
d!ed Tuesday night in Johns Hopkins
Hospital. Baltimore. He had under.
gone a surgical operation some weeks

one knew him, was the only son Of
Mr.. Warren Burgess, and was born in
1858. while his father was fighting for
his country in the Confederate ar,ry
III Virginia, and laid down his life
without ever seeing his baby boy. In
the midst Of the adversities following
the war the boy grew up, taking a
clerkship in a store while in his teens.
Later he was interested in a mercan-
tile partnership for few years. then
took up the work of a travelling sales
man. He first travelled for the house
OF Mccain & Co., Of Charleston. but
for several years past he had been
connected with the wholesale dry
goods house OF John E. Hurst e. Co..
Of Baltimore. He was one of the high
est salaried men on the road, and was
held in the highest esteem by his en-
ployers and, also by his patrons
throughout the State. The work that
he commenced in tender years, to care
for his widowed mother, was contin-
ued unremittingly until the good 'wo-
men died few months ago. No one
that ever knew him has anything but
kindest words to say Of Ned Burgess.
His body will arrive here on Friday
morning, and the funeral will take
place from the train.-News and Cou-
rier.
Mr.. Burgess worked here for many
years as a salesman and was WELL
known in this city. His many friends

Dear Sirs: Two cans OF paint look

They are far from alike one is

The gallons price Is not far from

takes 10 gallons to paint house: the
other takes 20. The cost Of one job
Is $50; the other $1O0--it may be $40
the job that cost least Is the good
one: wears twice as long as the other.
There are two ways of telling good

" Discovery" is not 50 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.
icine that can be taken.
It's an insult to your intelIi-
gence for a dealer to endeavor to
palm off upon you some nostrum
OF unknoum COMPOSITION 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 of the several
diseases for which these medicines
are recommended.
With tricky dealers it Is diff.
ferent.
