Two Old Timers.

Most old timers in Idaho will remember John
Condron, who spent most of his time for the past
thirty years in Idaho. He left this state seven or
eight years ago and moved to Spokane, where he
has been very successful in the financial world.
Mr.. Condron has purchased half interest in the
Cullen Hotel in Salt Lake City and is going to move
there to live His partner in this famous old hostel
ry is Mr.. Benjamin B. Haywood former United
States Marshal of Utah, and prince of good fell
lows.
Responding to interview the subject in the
Salt Lake Tribune few days since, Mr.. Condron
gave expression to the following characteristic senti
ments, by which many people know him we'll:
Ben and l were "tlicums" He used to make a
little money in the cattle business, to town
and stay as long his funds would permit | came
down here to winter every year. There was no rail
road into Wood river then, and if [ didn't leave
there in the fall simply got showed in and couldn't
come away. Ben and [ got pretty close and we have
been trying to get together ever since.
Mr.. Condron is native of California, and has
travelled extensively over Nevada Utah, Wyoming,
Idaho, Montana and Washington and it is most
pleasing to the Scinitar that after having spent
life of knocking about the West he can settle
down to easier life in of the great cities of
the western country in which he has spent so many
interesting years.

There is still a likelihood that many

be put back, as the estimators from

DIR. Pierce's medicines, however, form
a single and therefore striking exception
TO the above rule. Their claim TO the
confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their owners and makers
say-so or praise. Their ingredients are
matters of public knowledge, being
printed on each separate bottle-wrap-
per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken
into DR.. Pierce's full confidence. Scores
OF leading medical men have written
enough TO fill volumes in praise of the
curative value OF the several ingredients
entering into these well known med
icines.
In favor of DR.. Pierce's medicines is
the frank, confiding, open, honest state
ment OF their full composition, giving
every ingredient in plain English, with
out fear OF successful criticism and with
confidence that the good sense OF the
afflicted will lead them to appreciate
this honorable manner OF confding TO
them what they are taking into their
stomachs when making use of these
medicines.
WHAT THEY CURE. People often
ask -What do DR.. Pierce's two leading
medicines Golden Medical Discovery
and Favorite Prescription cure?"
Briefly, the answer is that Golden
Medical Discovery is q most potent al.
teratiye, or bIood-purifer, and tonic, or
lnyigorator, and acts especially favor
ably In Z curative way upon all the
mucousiIining surfaces, as Of the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom-
ach, bowels and bladder curing large
percentage OF catarrhal cases whether
the disease affects the nasal passages,
the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach
las catarrhal dyspepsia, bowels as
mucous diarrhea), bladder, uterus or
other pelvic organs. Even in the chronic
or nlcerative stages OF these affections,
il is generally successful in affecting
cures. In fact the Golden Medical
Discovery 10 without doubt, the most
successful constitutional remedy for all
forms OF catarrhal diseases known to
modern medical science. In Chronic
Nasal Catarrh DR.! Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy fluid should be used for washing
and cleansing out the nasal passages
while taking the discovery for Its
blood cleansing and specific, healing
effects upon the mucous lining MEM

eral treatment will cure q very large
percentage OF the worst cases OF chronic
nasal catarrh, no matter OF how many
years standing they may be.
