Only Grave Cases Treated.
Drug cases, unless of grave possibiT-
tiles, are not treated at Emergency or
Casualty Hospitals. These hospitals
are usually crowded, and there are no
facilities for treating "dopes," it was
said yesterday. Drug cases, according
to the physicians. are dangerous, and
must be observed closely. For this
reason, il is considered better TO have
them treated at the psychopathic ward
at the Washington Asylum Hospital
The Washington Asylum Hospital at
present is more than filled. 1t has
capacity of IFS, and there are now $50
cases under treatment. In the psych-
pathic ward, there is room for sixty
patients. All cases will be attended to
in spite of crowded conditions. Super

How Soldiers Of 'Europo Flal.t,

The up.to-date soldier is taught to
hide-he learns to dig under FIRE, laying
down and scoopins out q depression for
his body protection-f he's not ordered
to char9e-he may Jet time to dig q
hole for his LEGS. 1t takes two hours
for men to dif a trench deep enoufh
to stand in and hide from the enemy's
sight. Soldiers lay in water-or stand
knee-hish in water in trenches and
await the attack-this is where they
contract rheumatism or sickness.
Pluck and stamina arc largely q ques.
ton of food health. 1t only takes one
knock-down blow to finish q man with
q headache. 1t only takes a small set.
back to disconcert q nervous and shaky
man. A bilious headachy man foes
into bankruptcy at the first embarrass-
ment. A nervous man who does mot
sleep at night and Gets up shaky in the
morning gives up the battle of business
at the first discourasement. Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the best % all health-makers and
health keepers. 1t makes pure, rich, red
blood. II forces out all impurities and
disease germs. Ii does not make any
difference what the disease may be
called, so long as it has its inception in
improper or insufficient nourishment -
this great medicine will cure it. 1t
may be called dyspepsia, kidney dis
ease, liver complaint skin or blood
disease, or nervous prostration - all
these have the same starting point.
The Golden Medical Discovery"
reaches that point. II will cure these
diseases absolutely. None of them can
retain their hold on the system when
the arteries are filled with rich, pure
blood.
The stomach is the center of the
body from which radiates our vitality,
strenuosity, our fighting strength. A
healthy stomach turns the food We eat
into nourishment for the blood stream
and the nerves. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery refreshes and tones
up the stomach walls. Removes the
poisonous gases from the system.
The first day you start to take this
reliable medicine. impure germs and
accommodations begin to separate in the
blood and are then expelled through
the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys.
In place of the impurities the Ar.
teries and veins gradually get fresh vital
lied blood and the action of this good
blood on the skin means that pimples,
boiIs, carbuncles, eczema, rash, acne
and all skin blemishes will disappear.
Then you must remember that when
the blood is right, the liver, stomach,
bowels and kidneys become healthy,
active and vigorous and you will have
no more trouble with indigestion, back.
ache, headache and constipation.
