a Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or starved
liver. Il would be stupid as well as
savage thing TO beat q weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indicat ton of an ill-nourshed, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of silver
trouble" by It's wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. Tt re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the bloOd-mak
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonOus accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection Of other organs.

Golden Medical Discovery. Perhaps only
part of the above symptoms will be present
at one time and yet point to torpid liver or

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other

local treatment, pronounced it in

Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-02
AN SIGN,

One of the most encouraging signs
in the Industrial armament, particu-
larry for Omaha and Nebraska, is to be
found in the order just given for the
immediate resumption of construction
work on the Union Pacific. Mr.. Har-
riman is a shrewd business man and
will o invest his company's money
anywhere unless convinced that con
ditions warrant its outlay with a
reasonable assurance Of profitable re-
turns.
Mr.. Hartman has planned colossal
Improvements all along the Union Pa
clhc, of which the work in hand con-
stitutes an important part. Starting
the construction gangs out again at
this time means not only employment
for wage workers and the purchase of
materials, thus putting money into cir
culation, but is designed to make the
Union Pacific before long a double
track road without sharp curves or
heavy grades, and thus make il much
more serviceable as a highway for the
transportation of passengers and
freight.
Omaha as the headquarters city and
eastern terminus of the Union Pacific
cannot fail to share in the benefits &C
cruing from these Improvements and
from the Strengthening Of the Union
Pacific, the most distinctive Omaha
road, among the great railway systems
of the country. Omaha's future
growth and prosperity is bound up in
the future growth and prosperity OF
the territory to the west of us, and II
is in that territory in which the money
for the reconstruction of the Union Pa
cihc is to be spent.
