The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scaldS it thoroughly after using, and gives
It sun bath TO sWeeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made In it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
ceSses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste In the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption Of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
nation of disease throughout the body
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-ab solutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotcheS,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
cores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, conStlpated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliOuSness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by the writings
of leading teachers and practitioners of
all the several schools of medical practice,
have been skillfully and harmoniously
combined in DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction
il YOU will but mail postal card request
to DIR. R. V. Pierce. Buffalo, n. Y, for a
free copy of his booklet of extracts from
the standard medical authorities, giving
the names of all the ingredients entering
into his world-famed medicines and show
ing what the most eminent medical mel
of the age say Of them.

Whiting. Mr.. st. John has been. sick
for the past eleven months. AT this

the gondola car, which they were load
ing. Mr.. st. John was man Of ex-

in two. throwing him to the ground,
and part of 1t also struck him in the
side. Mr. ST John was taken home in
the company's ambulance. and was
never able to resume his duties after
that He has been treated by Chicago
specialists, took mud baths at Mudlavia,
which for a time seemed to improve
his condition. More recently he has
been taking electrical treatments from
a Hammond physician. and both he and
his wife thought this would be the
means of curing him. as he was more
able to get around. At noon yesterday
he is said to have partaken of a very
hearty dinner and shortly before sup
per he was standing in the door. and
is said to have fallen over dead.
The deceased is a member of the Mu-
tual Benefit and Aid association of the

very popular in Masonic circles. The
funeral arrangements have not yet
been made, but will no doubt be con-
Quoted by the Masons.
