"The Blood is The Life"

Science has never gone beyond tho
above simple statement of scripture.
But it has illuminated that statement
and given it n meaning ever broadening
with the increasing breadth of knowl-
edge. When the blood is bad or i'm
pure it is not alone the body which
suffers through disease. The brain is
also clouded, the mind and judgement
are effected, and many an evil deed or
impure thought may be directly traced
to the impurity of the blood. Foul,
impure blood can be made pure by the
use of DR.. Pierce Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t enriches and puriiies the
blood thereby curing, pimples, blotches,
eruptions and other cutaneous affections,
as eczema, letter, or snlt-rheum, hives
and other manifestations OF impure
blood.

JUST A CARD.

If trying to secure dollar for dollar

wrong and in contempt oil court then
am guilty. |, probably more than
any other one person. am responsible
for the agreement whereby Messrs
Freeman and Chapman agree to put
$4,000 worth Of property. and, along
with Mr.. Hampton, to advance $4,000
in cash, and whereby Messrs. Chap
man and Hampton agree to leave their
deposits of nearly $4,000 in the bank
until every creditor is paid. 1t will
be remembered that when Receiver
itors' meeting at Red Men hall 1t
looked very dubious. It was figured
that the best that would be forthcom-
ing would be less than so cents on the
dollar. Mr.. Boyle figured less than
so. 900 liability of stockholders-mon
ey that could be collected-and on the
receivers report the Democrat came
ont next morning and said depositors
could not look LOT more tndn 20 OF oV
cents on the dollar. The depositors
committee was sore and said 1t had
been unable to secure any satisfactory
settlement with Messrs. Freeman.
Chapman and Eldredge. Chairman
Jackson felt dubious and the meeting
adjourned in bad humor. Unbeknown
TO the advisory committee or any OF
the depositors, called on Mr.. Free
man the following night and put In
over four hours trying to outline some
way of securing settlement for the
protection OF creditors. Mr.. Freeman
was informed in very plain terms that
he must be willing to meet the com
mittee and do everything in his pow
er: he was told that If he did lot do
this that he could not count on any
clemency. And we found Mr.. Free
man perfectly willing to talk business.
The result was that next morning.

to by the Democrat and those who say

manhood to stand up for proposition

that it is compelled to resort to false
