Temple of Diana One of
Worlds SeUer Wonders

One of the seven wonders Of the an
cient world was the Temple of Diana
at EpheSus, built in the Fourth century
before Christ, and burned by the
Goths in 262 A. ID. But the temple
was doomed TO early destruction at the
hands Of q half-craZed Greek named
Herostratus In. 1856 Il. c., on the night
when Alexander the Great was born,
he burned the temple to the ground.
When he was arraigned for his crime
he said he had done it TO make an i'm
mortal name for himself, and he had
chosen the night Alexander was born
because Diana was the goddess of
childbirth, and he believed hat she
would be in Macedonia to bless the lit
tie princes arrival.
A new temple, started in $50, became
n stOrehouse for great gifts. In 262 A.
ID. invading Goths destroyed the city
and burned the temple. Only a few of
the columns escaped, and they were
used in the mosque of st. Sophia at

CHARACTER TELLS
THE STORY

People throughout this country arc
giving more thought to hygiene and to
the purity of remedies on the markeh
but no one doubts the purity of Doctor
Pierce's vegetable medicines, for they
have been so favorably known for over
fifty years that everyone knows they ara
just what they are claimed to be. These
medicines are the result of long research
by a we'll known physician, R. V. Pierce.
M. D., who compounded them from
health giving herbs and roots long used
in sickness by the Indians. DIR. Pieroc's
reputation as a leading and honored
citizen of Buffalo, is a sufficient guaran-
tee for the purity of that splendid tonic
and blood medicine, the Golden Medicai
Discovery, and the equally fine nerve
tonic and system builder for women's
ailments, DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. Send l0c. for trial pkg. tablets to
