A USE FOR SPIDERS.

Keep Then, In the House and You Will

1T is too bad SO many people are
prejudiced against spiders" said the
man who always finds out curious
things. IF they could stand it to
have spiders around. they would soon
get rid Of cockroaches. In the spider
the cockroach has an enemy that pur-
sues him with more inaleyolence than
does the cleaniy housewife. And not
only is this hatred more deep rooted: it
is more deadly. All things considered.
the cockroach shows mighty little re-
spect for the human race. He knows
that, although he is small he is Cbock
full of inventive geDius. and he laugh
ingly scorns the futile attempts OF men
ard women to circumyent and destroy
him.
so long has he been battling for
life against paris green. fly paper. hot
water aud wire cages that he has
learned to saunter through green lanes
of poison and wade rivers, of glue
without SO much as soiling his toes,
and when IL comes to the Scaiding BATE
he swinlS hlithely out and wriggies his
whiskers in derision at his would be
slayers. But be dares not treat the
spider with such disdain. In fact, r.
doesn't have 4 chance. for the spider
outdoes even the cockroach in cunning

mony.

&c 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
icine that can be taken.
It's an insult to your inteili-
gence for a dealer to endeavor to
palm off upon you some nostrum
of unknoun composition in place Of
DIR. 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 TIE cure OF the several
diseases for which these medicines
are recommended.
With tricky dealers 1t is diff
ferent.
Something else that pays them a
little greater profit will be urged
upon you as "just as good" or even
better. You can hardly afford to
accept a substitute Of anknoafn com
position and without any particular
record of cures in place OF Doctor
Pierce's medicines which are OF

them. Hoz know what you want
