for It's blood cleansing and specific cura-
tive effects upon the diseased mucous
membranes. It will cure very large
per cent. of all cases, even after they
have reached the ulceratiye, or chronic
stage, and no matter of how many years
standing they may be. 1t is equally
efficacious in affections oil the mucous
lining OF the larynx, bronchia and res
piratory organs in general, thus curing
bronchitis, laTyngitis and other aftec-
tions giving rise to obstinate, hang-on-
coughs. It is not so good in acute
coughs following sudden colds, as in
the lingering, chronic coughs. Nor
must the Golden Medical Discovery
be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that, but
for all obstinate hang-on.coughs due to
laryngial or bronchial irritation and
kindred affections, of the throat which,
to lead up to consumption, the Dis
covery" can be relied upon to produce
the best curative results.
The cGolden Medical Discovery" is,
from It's tonic and specific curative con-
troll over mucous surfaces, especially
efficacious in curing Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, weak stomach and Liver Com
plaint,n or biliousness. Even liberation
Of the stomach and bowels has in thou
sands of cases been cured by it; also
obstinate chronic diarrhea.
In addition to all the foregoing, not
the least valuable OF the marvelously
efficacious properties possessed by the
Ct discovery" is the unequaled regulat-
ing and strengthening effect exerted by
it over the hearts action. 1t has made
some wonderful cures Of very pro-
bounced valvular and other affections
of that organ.
The reason why vGolden Medical
Discovery" cures 30 wide range of dis
eases is made plain in booklet sent
free on request mailed to DR.. R. v.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. II interested,
send for it.
The powerful Alternative or blood pur-
flying properties possessed by the rDis-
covery" will naturally suggest its use
for the cure of blotches, pimples, erup-
tons; as eczema, salt-rheum, and other
skin affections in all of which it has
made remarkable cures; also in scrofu-
lous sores and old, open ulcers, or eat
ing sores. To heal the latter, use DIR.
Pierce's All-Healing Salve as a local
application, While taking the vGolden
Medical Discovery" to correct the blood
and cleanse the system. A box will be

scores Administration for Too Much
Interference I'm speech Made
Before the Bank Clerks.

Thomas l. Hume, president Of the
Washington Stock Exchange. in his talk
last night to the members Of the Wash
ington Chapter American Institute OF
Banking, asserted that Federal AL
thorties are interfering too much with
things beyond the purview Of their proper
activities, ranging from Supreme Court
decisions to the size Of a mans family.
Other speakers last night were George
E Allen, Of New York, and Representa-
tive MeKinIay. Of California, who dis
cussed respectively, THE Institute" and
the Panama Canal"
In discussing the Washington Stock Ex-
change and its influences, Mr.. Hume as
serted that malicious articles against the
stock exchanges are due TO the ignorance
Of the writer's He said the brokerage
business is legitimate and straightforward
and that no one who has studied il
can refute this statement.
And I'm here 10 refute any statement
to the contrary" said Mr.. Hume.
There is too much interference in the
business world these days" said Mr..
Hume. The Federal authorities try 10
regulate things ranging from Supreme
Court decisions TO the size OF a mans
family
Mr.. Hume explained that a margin
! transaction is simply an equity in the
stock handled He indicated the differ
ence between brokerage Office and bucket
shop. asserting that in the latter il is
simply case of the manager betting
that the outsider will guess wrong.
Representative Mckinley explained the
advantages Of the Panama Canal. and
asserted that If it had been opened years
ago the trip Of the Oregon would have
been lessened.
AS it takes siXty-five days for a ship
to come around from the Pacific to the
Atlantic at the present time. while hos
tile feet can visit the eastern coast from
Europe in six days. the need Of the canal
must be clearly evident" said Mr.. Nc
Kinley.
He said Columbus was the first TO see
the need OF a canal at the isthmus, and
that the explorer advised such water
way as a short cut TO the Indies.
Mr.. Allen explained the growth OF the
institute since its inception, seven years
ago, and congratulated the Washington
Chapter on its record.
