Pierce manufactured this Discovery" from roots and harSs-a
corrective remedy, the ingredients of which nature had put in the heldI
and forests, for keeping us healthy. Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used this Golden Medical Discovery
for the stomach, liver and heart, Evidence of the wonderful sale
of this medicine is recorded in the books of DR.. Pierce3 Laboratory
in Buffalo, N. Y, showing that over twentyIour million bottles OF
this tonic and blood remedy have been sold in this country. No
one can fight the battles of life and hold his own if his blood is
not pure. No one suffers from colds, "fu' and catarrh who has
plenty Of red corpuscles and a good digestion. As cen-nutriton
depends upon the blood, impurities in the blood, together with a
lowered bodily resistance, cause catarrh. Introduce pure red blood
into the system, and health is assured.

The abbreviations that we cusco- i

employed with humorous effect. Lin

as well as rhymes, until you solve the
twist on the abbreviation used as the
standard. Thus:
There once was doleful young Or.
Who picked un pistol and CT.
To blow of his head
But, however instead,
He took her to Isaac's and hr.

that you can get to rhyme with a

with her. From his hospital bed he
then retained Francis Y. Renninger,

as private counsel. Yesterdays incl

District Attorney Renninger early
today said in reference to the case:
THE children were not kidnapped.
Admittedly little clever work devel-
oped in securing custody of them. Mrs.
Hauser wilfully deserted her husband,
and Mr.. Hauser, under the circum

children.
