TO RuRN HENRY HOUSE.

A dispatch from Richmond says:
Moutville, the Colonial home of Patrick
Henry, one of the most historic places In
Virginia, is to be burned to the ground
by its owners, the great-grsndchildren
of the famous Virginian, because the
place has become overrun with bats.
Since the warm weather began there Ia
no living in or near the place. Bats by
the thousands hang about the grand par
lors and spacious bedrooms Of the Co
lossol mansion. Attempts to exter-
inmate them by poison and with clubs
have failed. They are In every room,
They hang in long strings from the
furniture. from the cesling, from thu
walls, and they are in such number
that they form curtains before the
windows, darkening the house during
the day. The house has become unin
habItsble because of the presence o.
the bats.

Not a drop of alcohol enters into
DR.. Pierce's leading medicines. A
much better agent is used both for
extracting and preserving the me-
dicinal principles, viz.-pure triple
refined glycerine of proper strength.
This agent possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being most
valuable anti-septic and anti-fer-
ment, nutritive and soothing de-
mulcent.
Glycerine plays an important
part in DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery in the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia and weak stom-
ach, attended by sour risings,
uheartburn," foul breath, coated
tongue, poor appetite, gnawing
feeling in stomach, biliousness and
kindred arrangements of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels.
For all diseases of the mucous
membranes, the uGolden Medical
Discovery is a specific. Catarrh,
whether of the nasal passages or of
the stomach, bowels or pelvic or
gans is cured by it. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is
we'll, while taking the wGolden
Medical Discovery" for the neces-
sary constitutional treatment, to
cleanse the passages freely two or
three times a day with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough
course of treatment generally cures
even in the worst cases.
In coughs and h0arseness caus.
ed by bronchial, throat and lung
affections, except consumption II
its advanced stages, the /" Colder
Medical Discovery" is most effici-
ent remedy, especially in those OBJ
stinate; hang-on-coughs caused by
irritation and congestion of The
bronchial mucous membranes. The
