HEART TURNED AROUND.
Surgeons Find Remarkable Condi-
t ion Of Judge HcKeighan's Organs.

BALTIMORE. April 22.-surgeons bend
ing over the opened body of Judge John
E. McKeighan Of st. Louis as it lay on
the operating table at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital several hours after he had died
of a battling malady were astonisaed as
they looked within the cavity to discover
that instead of the usual setting CT the
organs, those in the body were scattered
about in almost unbelievable places.
His heart was turned in position OPP
posite the normal his kidneys were
united by a ligament in the shape Of a
horseshoe and the liver was upside down,
with the gall bladder on top. Many of
the smaller organs were a chaos of en-
taugling cords and fatty substances.
How Judge McKeighan lived with such
a strange transposition of the machinery
of his body appears marvellous. Surgeons
are mystihed at 1t. Whether he was born
with his organs In abnormal positions or
they were put in this state throus. dis
ease or some freak Of nature Is not
known.
Judge McKeighan lived to be sixty-six
years old, and was considered one Of the
ablest lawyers Of st. Louis. His brain
did not seem to suffer through the state
of his organs. and he was able to eat
heartily until within few weeks of
March 1. when he was brought to the
Hopkins Hospital in a critical condition.

AN AGE OF PROGRESS
In Medicine as Well as in Art

This is an age Of progress in the world Of
medicine well as in arts and science. This
is demonstrated by the remarkable discovery
after years of research by two eminent French
chemists. OF the process by which the curative,
medicinal elements Of the Gods Liver may be
separated from the oil, thus getting rid of that
nauseating part of this valuable remedy.
In yinol modern science has given to the
world a most delicious cod liver preparation
without oil made by a scientific. extractive and
concentrating process from fresh Gods nvers
combining with peptonate-of-iro all the medici-

cines without the use of a drop of
alcohol, so generally employed
and yet so harmful, in the long
run, to most invalids when its use
is long continued, even in small
doses, cost DR.. Pierce several
years of careful study and labor,
with the aid of skilled pharma-
cists and chemists to assist him.
Naturally, he does not care to give
away his scientific and exactproc-
esses for preparing these medi-
cines, but he does want to deal in
the most open manner with all
his patrons and patients, and un-
der this frank, open and honest
way of dealing, they may know
exactly what they are taking
when using his medicines.
WHAT DO THEY CURE?
This question is often asked con-
corning DR.. Pierce's two leading
medicines, Golden Medical Dis
covery" and "Favorite Prescrip-
tion."
The answer is that Golden
Medical Discovery" is most po-
tent Alternative or blood-purifer,
and tonic or invigorator and acts
especially favorably in a curative
and healing way upon all the mu-
cous lining surfaces as of the
nasal passages, throat, bronchial
tubes. stomach, bowels and blad-
der. curing a large per cent Of
catarrhal cases whether the dis
ease affects the nasal passages, the
throat. larynx. bronchia, stomach
Gas catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels,
Gas mucous diarrhea), bladder,
uterus or other pelvic organs.
Even in the chronic or Lucrative
stages Of these affections it is
often successful in efecting cures.
The "Favorite Prescription" is
advised for the cure of one class
of diseases only-those peculiar
weaknesses, arrangements and If
regularities incident to women. It
is powerful yet gently acting in
MIGRATING tonic and strengthen
ing nervine. For weak, wornout,
overworked women-no matter
what has caused the breakdown,
"Favorite Prescription" will be
found most effective in building
up the strength, regulating the
womanly functions, subduing pain
and bringing about healthy, Wig
orous condition of the whole sys-
tenn.
Women suffering from diseases
of long standing are invited to

The most eminent and leading
medical teachers and writers OF
all the several schools of practice
have Endorsed each of the ingredl-
ents entering into DIR. Pierces
medicines in the strongest posi-
BILE terms. The makers of DIR.
Pierce's medicines believe that IN
telligent people do not wish to
open their mouths like a lot OF
Young birds and gulp down what
ever is presented to them, either
in the way OF food, drink or medl-
cine, without knowing something
of the properties and harmless
character of the agents employed.
They believe that health is too
sacred heritage to be expert
r1ented with, and that people
should not take medicines OF the
composition of which they are
Kept in ignorance. DR.. Pierce's
medicines are made wholly from
the roots of plants found growing
in the depths of our American tor
ests. They are so compounded
that they cannot do harm in any
case. even to the most delicate
woman or child. By open publ

cines out of the list of secret nos

made them REMEDIES or
KNOWN COMPOS ITION N.
They are. therefore. in a class all
bv themselves, being absolutely
and in every sense non-secret.
By this bold step DIR. Pierce has
shown that his formulas are OF
such excellence that he is not
afraid to subject them to the tull-
est scrutiny.
There is a badge OF honesty on
every bottle of DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines in the full list of its ingredi-
ents duly attested as correct un-
der solemn oath.
No other medicines put up for
general use through druggists can
make claim to any such distinc-
ton. and none other than DR..
Pierce's medicines,have any such
professional Endorsement of their
ingredients. Such professional in
dorsement should have far more
weight with the afflicted than any
amount of lay. or non-profes-

monials.
Of course. the exact proportion

Giving Legislators $3.50 a Year
Salary Takes Place of SIS a Day

fact Saturday night that the first
constitutional amendment, thought.
to have been defeated, has been
adopted. This is the amendment
putting the members of the general

of $3.50.
Heretofore they have received SIS

Cannon Rule is Supreme.

Washington, Nov. a. Evidence
daily piles up showing the tremen-
dous obstacles to be overcome by
President-elect Taft if he seriously
undertakes to overthrow the Can
non machine in the House of Rep
resentatives. Each incoming Re-
publican Congressman pooh-poohs
the idea of a clash between Taft
and Cannon, saying that Cannon is
sure to be elected and intimating
that Taft had better keep hands of.
In his experience President Roos-
evelt has not dared to assail the
House organization openly. The
controlling crowd in the House re-
gard the elections as having in
dorsed them, and they are intrench-
ing more firmly than ever. Repre-
sentative Kennedy, Of Ohio, said at
the White House to-day
Il know Mr.. Taft pretty well and
l know Speaker Cannon. I do not
believe that Mr.. Taft will oppose
the Speakers reelection. and / feel
sure he will be reelected. The
