What Do They Cure?

The above question is often asked con-
corning Dr.. Pierce's two leading medi.
cineS, HGolden Medical Discovery and

The answer is that HGolden Medica.
Discovery" is a most potent Alternative or
bloOd-purifier, and tonic or invigOrator
and acts especially favorably in cura

The words of praise bestowed on the

have more weight than any amount OF

such men are writing for the guidance Of
their medical brethren and know whereof

ADVERTISE In THE TRUE DEMOCRAT.
The Patter of the Shingie.

The Patter of the Shinsle.
When the angry passions gathering in my
mothers face see,
And she leads me to the bedroom gently
lays me on her knee,
Then know that I will catch it, and my flesh
in fancy itches,
AS I listen for the patter of the single on my
breaches.
Every tinge of the single has echo and
sting,
And a thousand burning fances into active
being spring;
And a thousand bees and hornets meath my
coat tail seem to swarm,
AS listen to the patter of the single, oh, so
warm!
In futter comes my father-whom I sup
posed had gone
To survey the situation and tell her to lay it
To see her bending Ger me as listen to the
strain
Played by her and by the single in wild
and weird refrain.
In sudden intermssiOn, which appears my
only chance,
I say: Strike gently, mother, or you'll split
my Sunday pants.
She stops moment, draws her breath, and
the shngle holds aoft,
And says: Il had not thought of that my
son-just take them off"
Holy Moses and the angels, cast your pity
ing chances down,
And thou oh family doctor, put good, soft
poultice on;
And may l. with fools and ounces, everlast-
ngly commngle,
If I ever say another word when my mother

Folks Who Don't Know What is Wrong

disposal.
Folks Who Don't Know What is Wrong.
There are many folks in this
partially enlightened land who
don't seem to know what is right,
and a vast deal of pains is being
taken to teach them. This great
work of instruction is called re-
form. There seems to be also a
lot more folks who don't know
what is wrong, but think they do,
and act with great vehemence
upon their convictions. How are
they going to be taught? It is
important to teach them, because
they lavish their strength not in
personal repentance, but in try
ing to hinder their neighbors
from actions which they con-
denim. TIA man for a woman)
thinkr some act is wrong and
doesn't do it, there is no great
harm done, whether the act is
really wrong or not. To be over
scrupulous about ones own con-
duct may be mistake, but it is
one for which the erring person
chiefly suffers. But to be over.
scrupulous about the conduct of
other persons-to condemn their
actions as wrong and get laws
passed to make them illegal
does great harm if the actions
condemned do not really deserve
condemnation. The code of dis
cipline of the Methodist Church,
for example, when voluntarily
accepted, may yield a great pro
fit. spiritually and otherwise, to
whomsoever lives up to it; where
as to hold society in general up
to the standard of the Book of
Discipline under penalty of law,
would work intolerable hardship.
Something like that is what the
folks who don't know what is
wrong seem to be trying to do,
and they are working out so
many different notions, and in so
many different lines-railroad
regulation, night-riding, prohibi-
ton, anti betting, anti-vivisec-
ton, anti-speculation, anti-cor-
porations, anti-nOn-union- labor,
anti-cigarettes, and so on-that
it makes the observer wonder
where we are coming out. Blue
laws have been tried, and have
failed and always will fail. Re-
form Legislation that rises higher
than it's source comes down
again. But it's source is the
average conscience of the COM
munity. Individual virtue can
rise far above that, and it will be
a sad day for humankind when it
doesn't. But law cannot, and
should not. More attention
should be given to the instruc-
ton of that part of our popula-
ton who have exaggerated no.
tons about what is wrong, and
want their standards legalized.
They are getting to be more dan
gerous and troublesome than the
folks who don't know what is
right. But it hard to instruct

JOHNSON AND DOUGLAS.

It follows, then, that if Governor Johnson
of Minnesota is nominated for President it
would, be great thing to name Ex-Governor
Douglas of Massachusetts for e-president.
That would make an exceptionally strong tick
ct and it would practically insure the carry
ing Of two Republican states. Both Johnson
and Douglas are highly thought Of, much re-
spected and esteemed by the thinking people
in both parties They are safe and sane They
are good Democrats, regular and fully able
to poll the full party vote. Both have demon
strated their local strength and popularity If
they could be on the ticket together it would
be great help to the cause. Each has been
elected governor in a Republican state on the
Democratic ticket. If running together it
would be reasonable to prophesy and fair to
aassume tht Minnesota and Massachusetts
would stand by their favorite sons. For pure
ly political purposes and as we'll for the good
Of the country in case Of Democratic success,
that would be most excellent arrangement

otherwise get. In order to carry out his pro-

A PEEvIsH PEERLESS LEADER.

This irritation at New York action will
injure Bryan. It will call the country's at
tention prominently to the fact that under no
conditions can he receive that States cleo
toral vote in November. And Of course as
Bryan and everybody else knows, without
New York's vote he has not the slightest
chance to win. But by proclaiming before
hand, through one of his prominent promoters,
that New York will be against him in the
election Bryan is fixing things so that he

The Philadelphia Press, an administration

that the office he holds pays for the full time
