There are hundreds Of thousands of
people all over this blessed country 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 people should rise up and speak
their sentiments pretty freely when DR..
Pierce and his medicines are so unjustly
attacked.
These grateful patients of DR.. Pierce
are to be found in almost every hamlet
and country village, and in the farm
houses and mechanics cottages in every
nook and corner 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 graft
flying way. This could not be the case if
they were not remedies of more than
ordinary merit.
WHAT DO THEY CURE?
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is not
advertised as a rCure All" but admirably
fulflls a singleness of purpose, being a
superior and most positive remedy for one
class of diseases only-those easily recog-
nized weaknesses, arrangements, irregu-
larities and painful disorders peculiar to
women. It is a powerful, yet gently act
ing, invigorating, tonic and strengthening
nervine. For weak, worn-out, over-work-
ed women--no matter what has caused
the Observation-Disclosures it be from too
frequent bearing of children or from much
worry, care; or over exertion of any kind,
uFavorite Prescription" will be found
most efficient in building up the strength,
regulating all the womanly functions,
banishing pain and bringing about a reg
ular and healthy, vigorous condition of
the whole female system. Thus it cor
reefs prolapsus, OF falling of womb, retro
version, anteversion and other displace-
ments of the female pelvic organs, due to
weakness or over eXertion, lifting or IA
tiguing over-work. In short, it makes
weak women strong and sick women well.
As to DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery it has a very large range of appli-
cation, yet it is by no means recommended
as a HCure-All.n It possesses marvellous
Alternative. or blood cleansing, properties
and is at the sam time q most invigorat-
ing tonic, or strength giver. It exerts a
specific, cleansing, soothing and healing
effect upon all the lining mucou mem:
branes of the system; hence, its great
curative value in all catarrhal affections
no matter where located.

Mr.. Editor:
Here l am way up in Michigan to-
wards the north pole, on little Trav-
erse bay, where we wear overcoats
in the day and sleep under heavy
"kiver" at night-47 in the shade
this morning.
If one should sweat up here they
would think he was sick and would
Isend for the doctor.
This bay is truly beautiful, some
seven to ten miles wide and about
the shape of letter U,-often as
blue as indigo. but as ,changeable as
the glow of the sunshine.
1t is surrounded by blue sand hills
covered by towering pines, cedars,
white birch and frs, but there are
situated here and there towns and
villages around the entire bay to
which suburban trains are run every
few minutes, carrying the thousands
of tourists who visit this cool climate.
\ There is Petoskey OF coo inhabi-
tants, Bay View, Harbor Springs,
Harbor Point, Weguetonsing and
some others whose Indian names Z
would not undertake to pronounce
let alone spell.

Your committee started on its in

on July 3, 1891. We started down
the Cairo road This being a gravel
road we found same in hrst-ciass con-
dition. The bridge over Perkins
creek is I'm fair condition and Will
hardly need any repairs this yeai.
We left the gravel road az about two
miles from Lamont. went one mile be
low Lamont and took the Clark line
road, where we found Nj. Tapp with
a crew of men working this road.
From this road we went to the Wren
Cook road, to the Cairo road, then
retraced to Clark line road 10 Keyil,
from kevil to Woodvlle, from Wood
vile on Woodvllic and New Liberty
road to Ogden Landing road, then on
Ogden road TO Joppa road; thence ON

these roads all being dirt roads. We
found them in excellent condition,
even though very little work had
been done on them this year
On July 10 we went to Joppa

road cut out badly by a creek along

road. on which we went to the river.
At the river oD the Cairo landing road
we fornd a contention about the end
OF the road passing to the river There
are two roads. one old and one new.
The old road has been closed by
fence and tie new road opened is
nearly impossible. The old road is In
better shape but cannot be travelled
on account OF Il being closed by fence.
These contested roads are from the
hill at high water mark to bed of
river The road supervisor cannot
find a record OF either OF these roads
ever being opened by the counis. the
county having no right of way to
these low bottoms The committee
would suggest that the Cairo road be
worked no further than high water
mark at the top OF the hills Reirac-
ing back to Ogden land road, we went
over same to Naxon Mills to Padu-
cab. The conditions of all these
roads We found in excellent condition,
being nearly all dirt roads. having
been worked very little this year.

Guarded by Crocodi1es

more simple In the interior of his palace
the King caused to be constructed large
tank, which he kept constantly filled with
water. Then he took several teak logs which
he had bored with holes, and into these holes
he put his specie reserve. The holes were closed
up, and the logs put into the tank.
Then some crocodiles, of the largest and
fercest description, were installed in the tank,
land maintained there,-not being fed so much,
however, as to interfere with their natural
ferocity. Any person who would undertake
to reach the treasure laden logs would surely
be eaten by the crocodiles. And anyone who
would undertake to put the saurians out of his
way would undoubtedly make noise enough to
attract the attention of the human guards
