The Story OF q Medicine.

Its name Golden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one Of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients = Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, Dr.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use Of pure,
triple-refined glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol
so generally employed. So the now world
famed vGolden Medical Discovery for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, tt pid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
It ever sin4e has bAen, without particle
of alcohol in its makeup.
A glance alNtAe Aux list Of its ingredi-
ents, printed On Every bottle-wrapper,
will show that It is made from the most
valuable medicinal roots found growing
in our American forestsS All these in
gradients have received the STRONGEST eTi-
doTsement from the leading medicaT exc

A little book OF these endorsements las
been compiled by DR.. &. Y. Pierce. Of
Buffalo, N. Y, and will be mailed free 10
any one asking same by postal card, or
letter addressed to the Doctor as above.
From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books of all the differ
emit schools OF practice, it will be found
that the ingredients composing the Cold

only for the cure of the above mentioned
diseases, but also for the cure of all ca
tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or
hang-on coughs, and all those wasting
affections which, If not promptly and
properly treated are liable to terminate
In consumption. Take DR.. Pierce's Dis
covery in time and persevere In it's use
until you give it fair trial and it is not
likely to disappoint. Too much must not
be expected of it. It will not perform
miracles. It win not cure consumption
In It's advanced stages No medicine WILL
It at9ll cure the affections that lead up 10

There is q more or less serious rups
lure between congress and President
Roosevelt, growing out of the para
graph in the presidents last annual
message criticising the attitude Of the
national law making body towards the
secret service and intimating that the
motives prompting this attitude were
not above reproach. Although the pres
ident, in reply to an inquiry from the
house of representatives, contends
that his language was misconssrned
and that he did not make or intend
any reflection upon the integrity of
members OF congress, the house adj
heres to it's construction OF the terms
of the, message, and has adopted Q
resolution resenting the imputations
of the chief executive and tabling the
objectionable portion OF his communi-
cation. The vote on this resolution
was overwhelmingly in the Affirmative,
and the effect Of the action is a refusal
TO consider the presidents recommen-
dations relative to the secret service.
What further step President Roosevelt
will take towards adjusting orcontinu-
ing the controversy is subject of
general interest and curiosity.

Court-Except in his suit case.
Mr.. Eddy-On drives he has
shot at the landscape but at the
landscape only, and has never
killed anything.
Mr.. Sterling-I would say as
Mr.. Eddy has said, that would
ask the Court to impose min
imum fine, and owing to the nat
ure of Mr.. Larson's position, I
hate to see him thrown into jail,
and | would ask you to make the
fine the minimum-let him off as
light as possible.
Court-Mr. Sturner, you have
talked with this gentleman, have
you not ? Have you anything
in the way of testimony you de-
sire to offer ?
Mr.. Sturner- Nothing further
than what has been said.
Court understand from the
statement of Mr.. Sterling, that
Mr.. Larson out here in this
country where we have Indians,
bears, etc., and under those con-
ditions, think Mr.. Sterling is
right and | shall sustain him in
his plea, and under the circum-
stances the minimum fine that l
, can levy upon this gentleman
will be S., 90, and the fine shall
be paid to Mr.. Sterling as his
counsel, and Mr.. Sterling can
proceed from there, and if Mr..
Larson will kindly deposit with
Mr.. Sterling, who has assured
2 me that all costs of this case will
} be paid through you, and if you
: will kindly deposit with Mr..
Sterling, your acting attorney in
e this case, shall dismiss the de-
: fendant, and the sheriff will
kindly return the weapon.
t Sheriff. would like to make
Y the suggestion that you instruct
p the prisoner to file the sight of
n this weapon, and keep it in his
: grip from now on.
O Court would ask you tC
o keep the weapon in your griI
# during the bear season at least.
