A VIRGINIA
WON4AN'S ADVICE.

Roanoke, We. members Of my
family have used Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. Ny husband used
it for cough and to make him stronger.
lie used only little and his cough
was cured by It. Others of the family
have received like benefit. It has be-
come family remedy and has never
failed us.0-MRs. JOHN G. DAVIS, 81
9TH Ave, N. E., Roanoke, Va.
The best time to cure a cough Is
when Il starts. Ordinarily, a few
doses Of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will cure cough at the
beginning. But even when the cough
is deep-scated and the body Is wasted
by enaciation, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will In most cases
effect permanent cure.
Get DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery to-day from any medicine dealer;
it is a powerful blood purifier, SO pene'
trating that it even gets at the I'M
pure deposits in the joints and carries
them out of the system.
Depend upon this grand remedy to
give you the kind of blood that makes
The skin clear, the mind alert, the
vision kcener, and puts ambition and
energy into the entire body. You will
not Sc disappointed. For free advice OF

i've l5T.Sll
BAD HOUSING.

Why are. tuberculosis and contagious
diseases especially prevalent among
the poor OF the 3tenements?
Not one, but number of factors
are responsible.
Congestion, poverty, immortality,
drunkenness, lack of cleanliness i'm
pure air. and poor foods-these are
some OF the causes.
Bad housing is one of the most i'm
portant factors. When the home CON
ditions are bad. ideals and ambition
are replaced by ca:elessness, drunken
ness and immortality.
What is meant By bad housing ? Does
it mean tho ramshackle, dilapidated
frame building facing some alley OF
the old beautiful structure, once the
home Of some wealthy resident, but
now occupied by half a dozen fam
tlles7 4.
Bad houging means both. For in
both types there are dark and unyent1'
lated rooms, ina dequate toilet and sink
facilities, lack OF proper water facili'
ties, defective plumbing, Inadequate
IRE escapes, damp basement or low
attic rooms that are occupied, dark
stairs and Railways and an excessive
number of occupants per room.
Bad housing means housing that
breeds disease.
