What Do They Cure?

The above question is often asked con-
corning DIR. Pierce's two leading medi-
zines, Golden Medical Discovery" and
.Favorite Prescription"
The answer is that ~Golden Medical
Discovery Is a most potent Alternative or
blood-purifisr, and tonic or invigorator
and acts especially favorably in a cura-
faces, as of the nasal passages, throat,
bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and
bladder, curing large per cent. Of catar-
rhal cases whether the disease affects the
nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bron-
CHA, stomach as catarrhal dyspepsia,
bowels as mucous diarrhea), bladder,
uterus or other pelvic organs. Even in
the chronic or Lucrative stages OF these
affections, 1t is often successful in affect
ing cures.
The rFavorits Prescription Is advised
for the cure of one class of diseases-those
peculiar weaknesses, arrangements and
Irregularities incident to women only. 1t
Is q powerful yet gently acting invigorat-
ing tonic and nervine. For weak worn
has caused the breakdown, uFavorite
Prescription will be found most effective
In building up the strength, regulating
the womanly functions, subduing pain
and bringing about healthy, vigorous
condition Of the whole system.
A book Of particulars wraps each bottle
giving the form ulse of both medicines and
quoting what scores of eminent med
zeal authors, whose works are consulted
by physicians of all the schools Of practice
as guides in prescribing, say OF each in
gredlent entering into these medicines.
The words Of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writers should
have more weight than any amount OF
non professional testimonials, because
such men are writing for the guidance OF
their medical brethren and know whereof
they speak.
Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non
secret, and contain no harmful habit
forming drugs, being composed Of glyceric
extracts Of the roots Of native, American
medicinal forest plants They are both
sold by dealers in medicine. You cant
afford to accept as q substitute for one Of
these medicines of known composition
any secret nostrum.

The KING OF ANIMALS.

rrappers and skin Experts Give This
Title to the Black Fox.
In the estimation of trappers and
voyageurs of eastern North America
as well as in the eyes of the very rich
nobility of Russia and Siberia there is
only one king of beasts, and the name
of this beast is the big and radiantly
shining black fox, which roams over
the cold and barren hills that stretch
from east Of the Penobscot river in
Maine, through New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia and, skipping the mouth
of the st. Lawrence river, extend in
diminishing hummocks through west
ern Labrador and end in the hillocks
and Laurentian formations which sur
round Hudson bay.
Those who seek the choicest and
| most expensive furs known to man
and who will pay any price for what
| they want must go to the bleak coast
| line of eastern North America for
what they want and may have to wait
l
match perfectly with other skins
which are to go toward making up a

hunters = wears the most valuable
overcoat of any animal on earth.
AS a rule, about five perfect pelts
from black foxes are captured every
year, and of these three are bought by
the great Hudson Bay Fur company
or Its tributary associations. Though
Maine alone furnishes more than 10000
foxskins every year and though near
! ly 5000 active men spend most Of the
winter in trapping and poisoning foxes
and other animals for their furs, only
| twice in the run of twelve month.
are the combined efforts of these indi
vidual hunters able to secure a black
fox
In no way except in color does the
black fox differ from its cOngener, the
red fox, whose pelt sells for $3.50, OIL
from the gray fox, whose overcoat is
valued at from $3.50 to $400 but when
ever a hunter can secure a black FOX
and remove its skin without marrins

$500 to $500 for his trophy as if ht
had the money in his hand. Not only
is every black fox pelt bought as sooI
as taken, but a dozen Russian noble
men have paid agents travelling IL
North America all through the winter

possible that a shy and elusive blacl

Putting food into diseased stomach is
like putting money into pocket with
holes. The money is lost. All its value
goes for nothing. When the stomach is
diseased with the allied organs of digestion
and nutrition, the food which is put into
it is largely lost. The nutrition is not
extracted from it. The body is weak and
the blood impoverished.
The pocket can be mended The stom-
| ach can be cured. The sterling medicine
for the stomach and blood, Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, acts with pecu
liar promptness and power on the organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t is positive
cure for almost all disorders of these
organs, and cures also such diseases of the
heart, blood, liver and other organs, a
have their cause in weak or diseased
condition of the stomach.

A Feat of Memory.

The geographer Marcus narrates an
instance of memory probably unequal
ed. He actually witnessed the feat
and had it attested by four Venetian
mobiles. He met in Padua young Cor
sican who had SO powerful a memory
that he could repeat as many as $4,000
words read over to him only once.
Marcus, desiring to test this extraor-
binary youth in the presence of his
friends, read over to him an almost
interminable list of words strung to-
gether anyhow, in every language and
some mere gibberish. The audience
was exhausted before the list, which
had been written down for the sake
of accuracy, was completed, and at the
end of it the young Corsican smilingly
began and repeated the entire list with
out a break and without mistake.
Then to show his remarkable power he
went over it back ward. then every al
ternate word. first, third and fifth, and
so on, until his hearers were thorough
ly exhausted and had no hesitation in
certifying that tie memory of this in
dividual was without rival In the
world, ancient Or modern.

Once Settled a Bill.
Raphael. the great Italian painter
whose celebrated Biblical pictures are
worth fabulous sums of money, was
not rich man when young. He en-
countered some of the vicisstudes OF
life, like many another genius. Once
when travelling he put up at an inn
and remained there unable to get ava.
through lack Of funds to settle his
bill. The landlord grew suspicious
that such was the case, and his re,
quests for settlement grew more and
more pressing. Finally young Raphael
In desperation resorted to the follow
ing device:
He carefully painted upon table
top In his room number of gold coins,
and, placing the table in a certain light
that gave a startling effect, he packed
his few belongings and summoned his
host.
There" he exclaimed, with a lord
ly wave of his hand toward the table
"is enough to settle my bill and more
Now kindly show the way to the door, y

bows, ushered his guest out and then

nizing the value of the art put In the
work, gladly paid him ESQ for the ia

Unnecessary Generosity.

Jose Maria, once famous Spanish
brlgand, robbed an English gentleman
and his servant of their horses and
everything they possessed save their
clothes. The Englishman was q pleas
ant, attractive youth and submitted to
the robbery with great good humor.
This appealed to Jose Maria, and as
they were forty miles from Seville,
whittier the traveller was going, he
determined that he should not walk
that distance and gave him back his
servants horse and a doubloon ($16)
out of the 200 he had taken. The youth
thanked tile robber warmly and added
that he had still a great favor to ask.
"Will you not return me my watch r
he said. ut was the parting gift of
my dear father"

Maria, land does he love you very
muchY'

and loves me-"

keep the watch, for if your father
loves you so dearly he is sure to give
you another"

Simple Acts That Are Too Difficult
For Simians to Learn.
1t would be very simple matter for
fourteen months old child to learn
to pull in, by means of a very light
toy wooden rake, an object which it
rould not reach with its hands, and yet
Jimmie. very tame Rhesus monkey
of mine, writes John B. Watson in
The World Today, spent many days in
trying to learn this simple act and
had not learned to manipulate the rake
when our patience ran out. Jimmie
was kept moderately hungry at the
time of the experiments; he was teth-
cred Just out of reach of some very
tempting food (malaga grapes). A light
top wooden rake was given him. In
stinctively he grasped it, bit 1t, then
dropped it and began straining at his
tether and reaching out as far as posi-
bic with his foreleg, making vain eff
forts to scratch in his food. The rake
was then put around one of the grapes,
and the handle extended toward Jim
ME. Instantly he grasped the handle
as before and jerked 1t, and the grape
rolled within reach of his paw. The
rake was dropped and forgotten and
the faithful paw utilized for the com
pletion of the act.
Now what happens when the grape
has been eaten? The rake is still with
In his reach, and the grapes are still
outside the pale. Does he perceive the
relationship existing between food

ergo, use rakeT' Not Jimmie And he
Is the brightest of six. AS long as you
will kindly hook the blade of the rake
around the grape and extend the han
die toward him he Will condescend to

grape, but he has never yet both
pushed out and then pulled In the rake
Of his own .initiative.
Origin of the Cross Bun.
The exact significance or origin Of
the cross bun is not too certain. A
superstition regarding baked bread on
Good Friday appears to have existed
from an early period. Bread so baked
was kept by a family all through the
ensuing year under the belief that q
few gratings of it In water would prove
a specific for any ailment.-Leeds and

to the effect that former United States

Cannon and Roosevelt.

Speaker Cannon, in his speech on
assuming the speakers chair, paid his
respects TO the president by covertly
announcing his opposition to practical
ly all of the presidents policies"
The fact is, Uncle Joe is afraid the
president will be his own successor.
He would circumvent this if he could,
and doubtless believes the best way is
to arouse the reactionaries in the hope
they will make him their leader.
The speaker is possessed of the idea
that the president, despite the en-
phatic pronouncement to the contrary,
will be a candidate. In that event
Uncle Joe would lose Illinois, and he
doubtless knows it. He would not
like to meet the president in contest
before the people. That is the reason
he opposed the direct primary law.
If the people of Illinois were to name
their choice between the president anC
Cannon, the latter would not carry 3
dozen counties. Cannon's slaughter o1
the direct primary bill, following his
defiant attitude toward union labor, has
not increased his followers.
