STANDARD TIME. A Table of the Hour Reckonings of All Nations. The difficulty of appreciating the difference in time that prevails between different countries is very general, and the following list is printed for the purpose of a ready reference guide by which to calculate the time of any occurrence in another country. All nations except Spain, Portugal and Russia calculate their time from the meridian of Greenwich, accepting as stand and some even hour meridian east or west of Greenwich. For instance: Western European time, or that of the meridian of Greenwich, is legal in England, Belgium, Holland and Luxemburg. Central European time, or one hour east of Greenwich, is legal in Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Kongo Free State, Denmark, Italy, Servia, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland. Eastern European time, or two hours east of Greenwich, is adopted by Bulgaria, Roumania, Natal and Turkey in Europe. Eight hours east of Greenwich applies to the Philippines. Nine hours east of Greenwich is adopted by central Australia and Japan. Ten hours east of Greenwich is official in Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania. Eleven and a half hours east has been adopted by New Zealand. The United States, Canada and Mexico have adopted the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth hours west of Greenwich. The Hawaiian Islands adopt the meridian of 10½ hours west. In Spain the meridian of Madrid, 14 minutes 45 seconds west of Greenwich, is legal; in Portugal, that of Lisbon, or 36 minutes 39 seconds west, and in Russia, that of St. Petersburg, or 2 hours, 1 minute and 13 seconds east of Greenwich.—Detroit Free Press. THE PIANO AT ITS BEST. Four Times a Year None Too Often to Have a Piano Tuned. “There are plenty of people,” said a piano tuner, “who let their pianos go one, two, three years without tuning, and in some cases pianos thus neglected may not get very, very woefully off, but a piano should be tuned every three months. That would be none too often.” THE GREATEST BORE. It’s the Man Who Has Just Moved Into the Country. The man in the rear seat of the open car looked wan and haggard. “No,” he replied in answer to a question, “I'm not sick, but I'm tired—very tired. I've just been talked at for two hours by a friend who recently took a summer home in the country. It's the first time he ever lived in the country in his life. That's why I'm tired. If you are wise, which I'm not, you'll never permit a man who has spent a couple of months in the country or in the suburbs for the first time in his life to jam you up against a pillar and converse at you. “He takes it for granted you don't know the difference between a turnpike and a tollgate. He is perfectly convinced from the beginning that you don't know what a chicken looks like except when you see it swimming around in the gravy of a potpie, and he regards it as a matter of course that the only kind of a bird you've ever seen outside of a circus or a picture book is the common or garden variety of English sparrow. “He wants to tell you about those radishes that he planted himself and that actually seem to be growing right out of the ground, and he expects you to be startled over this. He shouts at you that you ought to see his lawn and the lawn mower he has picked up at a phenomenal bargain for the purpose of beautifying this lawn. “He insists upon expatiating at great length upon the superiority of his particular kind of garden hose to all other kinds of garden hose. He's got a few hens out in his back yard, and his amazement over the fact that they actually do lay sure enough, really and truly eggs—egg—eggs—and not bogus, would be, imitation eggs, is written all over him, and he's got to talk about it or bust. He has seen a man driving quite a flock of honest Injun cows past his house, and he can't get over it—cows, you know, that we get the milk from, and going right past my house, with the bells around their necks—a tinkling! “And there's a peach tree and a cherry tree on his place, and he's going to be able to pick peaches and cherries right in his own yard—what d'yе think of that? If you don't exhibit signs of collapse over the wonder of this, he thinks you're jealous. But he goes on to tell you that you don't know what the meaning of a bird's song is—that you think you do, but you don't. Then he describes with great minuteness all the different brands of birds that fly around his place—specimens of the eggs of which you robbed about 30 years ago—and endeavors to whistle limitations of their respective songs. “He's a whole heap of a bore, is the garrulous man passing through his first experience away from the city, and he ports himself a few times.” General Debility Day in and out there is that feeling of weakness that makes a burden of itself. Food does not strengthen. Sleep does not refresh. It is hard to do, hard to bear, what should be easy—vitality is on the ebb, and the whole system suffers. For this condition take Hood's Sarsaparilla It vitalizes the blood, gives vigor and tone to all the organs and functions, and is positively unequalled for all run-down or debilitated conditions. Hood's PILLS cure constipation. 25 cents. THE PIANO AT ITS BEST. Four Times a Year None Too Often to Have a Piano Tuned. “There are plenty of people,” said a piano tuner, “who let their pianos go one, two, three years without tuning, and in some cases pianos thus neglected may not get very, very woefully off, but a piano should be tuned every three months. That would be none too often to keep it in order. “As a matter of fact, a piano begins to get out of tune again at once after it has been tuned. How could it be otherwise? Nothing stands still. This difference would at first be so slight as scarcely to be perceptible to any but the practiced and sensitive ear of an expert tuner, but it is there. Doesn’t a clock begin to run down as soon as it is wound up? Four times a year a piano ought to be tuned, but only a comparatively small percentage of people give their pianos that attention which is needed to keep them in their most perfect loveliness of tone. Piano makers and dealers of course are looking after the tuning of their pianos in stock scrupulously and carefully all the time. You don’t hear pianos out of tune in a piano warroom. They never let them get out of tune there. They aim, in fact, at keeping them as near perfection as they can. “We are pretty sure to find in every new piano something pleasing and attractive. Some share at least of this pleasing quality comes from its being in perfect tune. In fact, to keep any piano at its best it must be kept in tune, and to attain the results most satisfactory to all, to the owner and the neighbors alike, a tuning tonic should be administered to every piano not less than four times a year.”—New York Sun. Two Anecdotes of Colonel Ingersoll. Senators Morrill, Voorhees and Gorman were conversing together outside the senate chamber. Colonel Ingersoll chanced to pass by. Mr. Voorhees greeted him and sald: “We are discussing the meaning of ‘improbable.’ What is your definition of the word?” Promptly Colonel Ingersoll replied, “It is a negro going in an opposite direction from a brass band.” Colonel Ingersoll was a temperate man, but not a teetotaler. One day Mrs. James G. Blaine was passing through Fifteenth street opposite the treasury department, when out from a liquid refreshment salon came Colonel Ingersoll and a friend. “My dear colonel,” said she, “you would not be seen coming out of such a place, would you?” “My dear madam,” replied he, “would you expect me to stay there all the time?”—Washington Times. Making the Choir Sing. Many conscientious ministers have had trouble with wayward choirs, but not all have had Dr. Samuel West’s witty address or management. There had been difficulty with the singers and they had given out that they should not sing on the next Sunday. This was told to Dr. West. “Well well, we will see,” he said and on Sunday morning gave out his bymn. After it he said very emphatically, “And there’s a peach tree and a cherries tree on his place, and he’s going to be able to pick peaches and cherries right in his own yard—what d’ye think of that! If you don’t exhibit signs of collapse over the wonder of this, he thinks you’re jealous. But he goes on to tell you that you don’t know what the meaning of a bird-song is—that you think you do, but you don’t. Then he describes with great minuteness all the different brands of birds that fly around his place—specimens of the eggs of which you robbed about 30 years ago—and endeavors to whistle imitations of their respective songs. “He’s a whole heap of a bore, is the garrulous man passing through his first experience away from the city, and he needs to get next to himself a few times.”—Washington Star.

WHISKY MEDICINES.” THE VOICE, The Leading Temperance Paper, Sounds the Call to a New Crusade in the Following Article. ANOTHER HEAD ON THE HYDRA.” “It is time attention was drawn to a form of alcoholic traffic that seems to have been overlooked by those engaged in the crusade against the rum power. If as is believed and taught, alcohol is most dangerous when it fights in ambush, if it is most to be dreaded when it finds its first entrance to the system in the pleasant sauces and dishes of the home, then the form of alcoholic traffic in question is doubly dangerous, for it comes in the guise of medicine and attacks a system prepared by weakness to easily surrender to the assault. In many PATENT MEDICINES which are largely consumed throughout the country, by all classes of people, there is a percentage of alcohol which puts them on a level with beer, rum and whisky as intoxicants. It is the smallness only of the dose prescribed which prevents a prompt recognition of the intoxicating effects of these so-called medicines by those who use them. “It is safe to affirm that they are MEDICINES IN NAME ONLY. The chief value lies in their alcoholic effect as a stimulant. In fact, those who know, attribute the benefits ascribed to this class of medicines wholly to the stimulative effect of the alcohol they contain. They are used largely by persons not in the habit of drinking liquors, and the little dose taken three or four time a day is as stimulating to these people as his regular “finger” of “bitters” is to the regular liquor-drinker. WHAT CAN BE DONE? “What ought to be done at least is to compel every patent-medicine manufacturer to put on the wrapper of his bottle the quantity of alcohol it contains. That would at least leave people to exercise their own judgments. More than that,</td> A great many women are subject spells of dizziness, spots before the head, and a ringing noise in the head.

There had been difficulty with the singers and they had given out that they should not sing on the next Sunday. This was told to Dr. West. "Well well, we will see," he said and on Sunday morning gave out his hymn. After reading it he said very emphatically "You will begin with the second verse:" "Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God." The hymn was sung. A Scoop.

Their chief value lies in their alcoholic effect as a stimulant. In fact, those who know, attribute the benefits ascribed to this class of medicines wholly to the stimulative effect of the alcohol they contain. They are used largely by persons not in the habit of drinking liquors, and the little dose taken three or four time a day is as stimulating to these people as his regular "finger" of "bitters" is to the regular liquor-drinker. WHAT CAN BE DONE? "What ought to be done at least is to compel every patent-medicine manufacturer to put on the wrapper of his bottle the quantity of alcohol it contains. That would at least leave people to exercise their own judgments. More than that, no paper truly interested in temperance reform should print the advertisement of any alcoholic medicine. It should be the duty of every temperance organization and branch in the country to look into this question, agitate it, and deal with the facts just as earnestly and as honestly as other facts have been dealt with." Appreciating the gravity of the issue raised by the strong statement of facts made in the foregoing article, we wish to call general attention to the fact that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription contain NO ALCOHOL, NO WHISKY, NO INTOXICANT OF ANY KIND. These medicines are equally free from opium and other narcotics. They are in the strictest meaning of the words temperance medicines. Of no other medicine, put up especially for woman's use can it be truthfully affirmed, as of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, that it contains neither alcohol nor opium or other narcotic in any form. While the negative features of Doctor Pierce's medicines may only interest some of the readers of this article, the positive features of these medicines must be of interest to every one. The great value of "Golden Medical Discovery" in the cure of diseased or deranged conditions of the stomach and digestive and nutritive organs is testified to by tens of thousands who have found health and healing in this great remedy. The "Discovery" increases the action of the blood-making glands, and by curing the diseases which corrupt and cripple the stomach and digestive and nutritive organs, it enables a full and pure supply of blood to be sent to every part of the body. WOMEN KNOW ITS WORTH. Women who are always appreciative of benefits, have been especially appreciative of the benefits following the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its wonderful cures of irregularities, inflammations, ulcerations and female troubles, have caused women to name it, "that God-send to women." It is entitled to wear the "blue ribbon" of merit as well as the blue ribbon of temperance. A great many women are subject spells of dizziness, spots before the head, and a ringing noise in the head. The symptoms are commonly associated liver "trouble" as the result of a discondition of the stomach and other gans of digestion and nutrition. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures through the stomach diarrhea seemingly remote from that organ which have their origin in a discondition of the stomach and digests and nutritive system. Hence, curse heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and organs are constantly effected by use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medicalcovery. There is no alcohol in the "Discovery" and it is free from opium, cocaine, all other narcotics. Some dealers may offer a substitute "just as good" as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. There's more in substitutes for the dealer. More health in the "Discovery" for Don't be imposed on. "It is with the greatest pleasure I wish the benefit my mother has received from 'Golden Medical Discovery.'" says Miss Johnson, of Lowesville, Amherst Co., New York. She suffered untold misery with uterine and nervousness, and had a constant and ringing noise in her head. After six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medicalcovery she was entirely cured."

As evidence of the extent to which the ornamental precedes the useful Explorer Humboldt noted the fact that the Orinoco Indians in fair weather strutted about attired in all the finery they were able to procure, their faces painted gaudily, their heads decked with feathers, their whole aim being to strike astonishment to the beholder and no regard whatever had for comfort. When the weather was bad, Humboldt found that the same men would doff their clothing and carry it about to save it for display on future sunny days. The same traits are seen today in the North American Indians, little modified by many years of intermingling with civilization. That part of Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, running from Second to Sixth street is the favorite promenade of visiting Indians. Portions of Second and Third streets, running off the avenue, are filled with boarding houses especially patronized by the redskins and especially avoided by the whites in consequence. A number of photographers in the vicinity are the chief attractions of this neighborhood for the aborigines. Nothing so delights them as to strut gravely from their boarding houses to these art galleries to sit for solemn pictures at Uncle Sam’s expense, the bill being charged in with necessaries incidental to a visit to the great father. To deprive the visiting Indian of the privilege to sit for his photograph in full paint and feathers and a grotesque mixture of cheap ready made garments with blankets and bear claws would be the greatest hardship possible to the chieftains. Showing the same disposition Humboldt noted, the visitors get themselves up more barbarously the closer they get to civilization.—St. Louis Republic. A RARE VOLUME BY PENN.

Granville Spurgeon, one of the pioneer settlers of Santa Ana, died on the Owl train while on his way home from a St. Helena sanitarium one day last week. He was accompanied by his wife and niece, Miss Grace Spurgeon. His health had been failing for several years and about two months age he went to a sanitarium. He stood the trip homeward well as far as Bakersfield, when he began to sink rapidly. Deceased was 58 years of age and leaves a wife and daughter, Mrs. May Ballard of Butte, Mont., who, with her husband, arrived at Santa Ana a few days ago on a visit to her father. Together with his brother, W. H. Spurgeon, deceased was for many years engaged in mercantile business.

Roaming Riley, the Traveling Thirst, nailed the young man who had just emerged from the clothing store looking pretty spick and span in a spring suit. “Sir,” he began, walking alongside that young man, “I trust you won’t consider me obtrusive, but”—“To dank virgin forest,” cut in that spick and span youth. “Nothing doing,” but,” said the Traveling Thirst, “my only purpose in presuming to address you is to call your”—“Now, look a-here,” growled the young man in the new set of counter duds, pulling up and facing the Traveling Thirst.“you couldn’t panhandle me with a base ball bat if you belonged to the home ninja and had the top batting average and there were two outs and three men on their famous bunts on the pitcher.

The only known copy of Penn's issue of "Magna Charta," published in 1687 by the Bradford Press, is the property of the Meeting For Sufferings, a representative body of the Friends' yearly meeting in Philadelphia. Its title is "The Excellent Privilege of Liberty and Propriety; Being the Birthright of the Freeborn Subjects of England." The copy is not generally open to the public. The peculiar significance of this book is that a half dozen years after Penn founded his colony he wished to have the colonists keenly realize that they would have to stand for their rights in the new country as well as the old, where they had been so cruelly persecuted. He wrote this book in order that they might be informed on the constitution of their local government and know what were the legal bases of their rights as citizens. Curiously enough the only proof there is that this work was William Penn's is the statement made by Chief Justice David Lloyd in 1728, a great Quaker leader who was Penn's attorney general at the time the book was issued. Chief Justice Lloyd was also at that time an intimate friend of William Penn and consequently knew whereof he spoke. The volume was reproduced in facsimile by the Philobiblon club in 1807 for a limited number of subscribers. The original volume, however, must always remain the rare thing that it is one of the best expressions of liberty under law that the mind of the great founder could conceive.—Philadelphia Press. After a Struggle. "Georgie," said a fond mother to a little 4-year-old, "you must take the umbrella to school with you, or you will get wet. It rains hard." "I want the little one," he said, meaning the parasol. "No, my dear. That is for dry weather. You must take this and go like a good boy." Georgie did as he was bid and got to school comfortably. After school hours it had stopped raining, and Georgie trudged home with the remnants of the umbrella under his arm. "Oh, Georgie, what have you been doing with my umbrella?" said his mother when she saw the state it was in. "You should have let me had the little one," said he.

Peter Jackson, the once famous pugilist, is dead. Although his death occurred nearly a month ago, it is not until now that thousands who were once glad to call themselves his friends and admirers are apprised of it. Even in Australia where it occurred, and where he came from to endeavor to take the heavyweight championship from America, the event caused little comment. All the papers in Brisbane, copies of which haye been received at Victoria by the steamship Moana, had to say was: "Peter Jackson, ex-champion heavyweight boxer, died last night at a private sanitarium at Roma from consumption. He was in his 40th year. Although his death was not altogether unexpected, the news will be received with regret in all sporting circles." The funeral took place at Brisbane. Jackson, when last in this country, a couple of years ago, was considered to be in the first stages of consumption. He had an attack of pneumonia from which he never fully recovered. When it was realized he could not live long, he was sent to his home in Australia through the efforts of friends in San Francisco. IN DEADLY PERIL. The Narrow-Path of Safety. The Alpine tourist who finds himself suddenly clinging with feet and fingers to a shelf of slippery rock overhanging a dizzy precipice, understands in a very literal sense the full meaning of the words, "There is but a step between me and death." His peril is so tragic in all its circumstances, so wild in its mountain setting, that the heart almost stands still at the thought of it. But as a matter of fact every man walks the world with his life in his hands, and the path of safety is narrow for his feet. An example of the constant peril in which we live is found in the alarming sumption so widespread? The answer found in the general neglect of which if neglected or unskillfully find a fatal termination in consume THE GERM OF CONSUMPTION IN TIRKLY HARMLESS when the lungs are healthy. In addition of health these germs are no with impunity. It is only when they are "weak" that the germ is dangled. For this reason the real danger guarded against is the incipientness of the lungs, the severe cold deep cough, and other affections organs of respiration. These can be cured perfectly and permit by the use of Dr. Pierce's Goldenical Discovery. "I was troubled with a bad cold settled on my lungs and left miserable cough," writes Mr. Joe Burns, of 318 Huestis St., Ithaca. "I used two bottles of your 'Goldenical Discovery,' after my cough disappeared tirelessly. I cannot recover your medicine too." But "Golden Discovery" is not cough medicine. To deep-seated cough chitis, etc., are tests of the meridian medicine. In many where there were rhages, night-sweating, and every disease which terminates fatally sumption, "Goldenical Discovery" has a lasting cure.

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovcues diseases of the stomach and the organs of digestion and nutrition. Cures through the stomach diseases singly remote from that organ, but have their origin in a diseased edition of the stomach and digestive nutritive system. Hence, cures of lungs, liver, kidneys, and other organs are constantly effected by the of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

The country is thoroughly aroused to the need of doing something to stop the ravages of the deadly germ of this disease. Several states have made liberal appropriations for sanitariums in favorable climates. The medical skill of the world is enlisted to fight consumption. Yet in spite of all that is done, the disease seems to gain ground instead of losing it. THE FORCE OF HABIT is strong with us. We are so accustomed to the world wide prevalence of consumption that we accept it practically as a necessary evil. If some strange disease were to break out, and destroy human life to the same extent as does consumption, such a disease would be looked upon as an appalling plague. Quarantine would be established against it, and days of fasting and prayer appointed by the churches for the mitigation of the disease. But we accept consumption as inevitable because of its familiarity. How true this is may be judged from a recent report of Sanitary Officer Gorgas, of Havana, Cuba. It has been cabled to the United States that yellow fever was epidemic in Havana. Dr. Gorgas answered that there is no epidemic. He says: "In the past month there were 72 deaths from consumption and 52 from yellow fever. Yellow fever therefore should not be considered epidemic more than consumption." What light that throws on our acceptance of consumption! A scare cry is raised that yellow fever is epidemic because of 52 deaths in one month. Not a word was said as to consumption which in the same month claimed 72 victims, or over 35% more than died of yellow fever.

Incorporated under the Laws of the State of Delaware Capital Stock $400,000 Authorized Issue. Par value $1 per share. "May carry on any business except banking in any part of the world." The mines and mining claims are: The Old Shoes, The Red Bug, The Patsy Bolivar, The Harmony, the Standard, the Central (one half), The Polka Dot, The Bull's Eye, The Fall Moon, The Half Moon, The Meteor, the Coined Money, The Fellowship, The Little Giant, The Lookout, The Jason The Blackhawk, The Lone Star, The Lucky Boy and Sixteen to One. There is also the undisputed one-tenth of the Good Hope group of mines and claims, twelve in number. Values in pres are of gold, silver, lead, copper and some bismuth, as the product of the veins. ...OLD SHOES MINE... During the former explorations, and by sinking the shaft on the Old Shoes mining claim and vein by mill sampling, these values were found and shown to be in the ore of that vein: First: On discovery, small chips were broken off all along this Old Shoes vein, at surface droppings of the vein, for the distance of 1000 feet, these crushed and sampled down to 25 pounds, and then down to an assay sample, which, on assay, gave gold value per ton of rock in place, $6.14. Sinking by shaft was started at once, at depth: Three feet ... $8.56 Six feet ... 17.14 Twelve feet ... 47.64 Eight feet ... 19.34 Twenty-eight feet ... 16.62 Fifty-seven feet ... 26.90 Seventy-two ft.(v. in six feet) ... 20.62 Three Sections ... 8.50 2 ... 19.91 3 ... 83.45 Seventy-six feet ... 59.82 All of the outside claims and the veins thereof, as outcroppings have been sampled just as was the surface of the Old Shoes vein outer ropping. The ores are similar, and the result of values was an average of three to nine dollars per ton of the rock in place, as exposed by the veins' outer roppings. The results having been obtained from eightteen mill samples of about 25 pounds each, and each crushed and averaged down to the assay sample. It is plainly apparent that all of these claims will justify good development in search for the high-grade ore shoots of the vein. Work has been resumed and is now in progress on these properties. FUNDS FOR DEVELOPMENT To obtain and have cash funds for, and to do a special work of surveying for patents, etc., and farther exploration immediately, on and in the OLD SHoes MINE, and in the outlying group of 34 claims, at Manvel, San Bernardino county, Cal., there has been issued and placed in my hands with orders to sell a limited amount of the capital stock shares of this company, and I am selling them out NOW (remaining shares).

They're beastly, sure enough.-Philadelphia Record. Agricultural Interests of Arizona Continued from First page. The white settlers have improved on these methods, and population, agricultural development and wealth have advanced on lines parallel with the artificial application of water to the cultivation of the soil. Of the 72,268,800 acres of land surface of Arizona, only 1,935,327, or 2.7 per cent, are included in farms in 1900, and only 254,521, or 0.35 per cent, are improved. Of the improved land, 227,890 acres are located outside of the Indian reservations. The importance of irrigation is demonstrated by the fact that irrigated land outside of the Indian reservations has an average of 185,396, or 81.4 per cent of the corresponding improved land. The progress of agriculture during the decade ending with 1900 is attributable to the growing of hay and forage, cereals, vegetables, fruits and other crops. Within the ten years from 1890 to 1900, 545 miles of canals and ditches were constructed, at a cost of $1,508,469. Out of this total, $512,000 was expended in ditches into which no water had been turned before June 1, 1900. Aside from this amount, $250,000 is represented in canals which were completed within the last few years, and which utilize only a small quantity of the water appropriated for them. In 1890 the acres irrigated, outside of the reservations, numbered 65,821; in 1900 they numbered 185,396. By the opening of new ditches and canals and the enlargement of those previously constructed, the increase in irrigated land in 10 years was 119.575 acres. Most of this land was public domain in 1890. At a low estimate, its present value is $30 per acre, or $3,587,250. Irrigation has added this large amount to the farm wealth of the Territory. IF you are going East and want a through tourist car from Los Angeles, personally conducted to destination; via Ogden or New Orleans; cheapest fare and most comfortable service take the Southern Pacific. THE middle route, via Ogden, Salt Lake City, Royal Gorge and Denver is most delightful for summer travel, and the mountain scenery is equal to any in the world.

Darling, Agt. I take great pleasure in sending you this testimonial," writes Mr. Will H. Whitmire, of Arkton, Rockingham Co., Va., "and to tender you my heartfelt thanks for the restoration to health of my son, A. P. Whitmire, through the use of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellets.' Our son contracted a deep cold, and had a terrible cough. We called a doctor and he pronounced it irritation of the bronchial tubes, with asthmatic trouble, and he informed me that my son was liable to die at any time. He told me that if we could keep the bronchial tubes open, he might cure him; but after treating him several weeks and my son growing worse all the time, I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets.' I had seen several miraculous cures brought about by the use of these medicines, and, of course, I had wonderful faith in them. I am so happy to tell you that I have not been disappointed, and that my boy is well. He used three bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' at home and one vial of the 'Pellets,' and was then well enough to go to West Virginia, taking a supply with him. I am just in receipt of a letter from him from which I quote: 'I am well and hardly and getting very fleshy.' The neighbors all knew the condition of my boy and they all said he had consumption and would not live a month, and the doctor told some persons after I commenced the use of your medicine that my boy had quick consumption and would have to die.
