WHEN YOUR EYES SMILE TOO. When your eyes smile too—when your eyes smile too, It's then you know your hidden heart is laughing out with you. It's often you have your lips go searching up a smilAnd oh, I somehow knew your heart was grieving all the while, And the sky was dark and gloomy and the bird songs were so few, And the sun forgot its shining—till your eyes smiled too! When your eyes smile too—when your eyes smile too, Oh, the listen of the willows and the glisten of the dew! Oh, the brightness of the meadow and the lightness of the grain, And the music of the little winds that laugh along the lane! Oh, the whisper of the valley and the deepness of the blue, And the glory just of living when your eyes smile too! —New York Press. FIRING ON THE MOB. The Scene After the Death Dealing Volley Had Done Its Work. The yelling mass below neared the walls. A whistle pierced the tumult. From the windows jetted swift lines of flame, and a shattering volley tore the air. A crash, and then stillness on the mob, an intense hush, a swift paralysis; a blue gray smoke cloud floated up the walls and out over the jailyard. Men gasped, then held their breath. From their nests in the eaves startled sparrows flew above the crowd with frightened twitterings. In the jail corridor sounded the clink, clink of empty shells falling to the floor as nervous fingers fumbled at boxes or shoved fresh cartridges home with a snap snapping of breechblocks, while staring eyes were fixed upon the scene outside. From below came a new sound, the noise of agony. On the outskirts of the crowd men were running. The mob surged back from the jail walls. In the space left clear lay prostrate forms outstretched or huddled in attitudes of grotesque horror on the stone paved way. One figure half arose, wavered backward and then fell toward the retreating mob with a gasping cry. Men running back from the crowd with apprehensive glances at the windows carried off the limp forms. In the crowd men bore up other men who reeled and staggered to and fro. The corridor was very still. The guard stood in silence. Here and there one drew a long breath, with a slow heaving of the chest and a lifting of the shoulders. Turning their eyes with an effort from the mob they glanced at SHOE HIEROGLYPHICS. Occult Symbols That Have Been Devised to Deceive Womankind. "People often ask me the meaning of the apparently crazy hieroglyphs and figures that are stamped on the inner side of the uppers of ready made shoes nowadays," said an F street shoe dealer, "As every shoe manufactory has a secret stamp code of its own and there is, therefore, no possibility of the general public learning more than that such codes exist, I may as well tell you that the vanity of modern mortals, and especially women, is at the bottom of these peculiar stamped characters and figures. You'd be surprised to know, for instance, how many women there are who imagine that they wear a No. 3 shoe when in reality their size is a couple of figures larger. A shoe salesman who understands his business can tell precisely the number of the shoe a woman customer wears at a glance. But as often as not a woman whose foot is a No. 5 calls for a shoe a couple of sizes smaller, and the mysterious stamped hieroglyph scheme was devised for the purpose of encouraging her in the belief that her foot is a couple of sizes smaller than it really measures in shoe leather. "When a woman calls for a No. 3 to fit a No. 5 foot, no shoe salesman of this era who cares anything for his job is going to say, 'Madam, your foot requires a No. 5.' He simply breaks out a shoe of the style she requests that he feels confident will fit her comfortably and lets it go at that. "A woman rarely thinks to inquire if the shoe is really of the size she asked for, for she takes it for granted that the salesman has given her what she demanded. But when a woman does ask, for instance, 'This is a No. 8, is it?' It's the salesman's business to unblushingly reply, 'Yes'm, it's a No. 3.' The woman customer might examine the hieroglyphs inside the uppers for a week without finding out any different, and even if she had the key to the puzzle it would only make her feel bad; so what would be the use?" —Washington Star. ARITHMETIC 1700 B.C. Suma Over Which Egyptian Children Puzzled Their Brains. Probably the oldest copy book for home lessons in arithmetic was recently unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus, which was found in excellent condition, dates from the period about 1700 B.C.—that is, about 100 years before the time of Moses, or almost 8,600 years ago. It proves that the Egyptians had a thorough knowledge of elementary mathe- BURNS AND SCALDS. Remedies That Should Be Used Before the Doctor Arrives. A burn may result from excessive heat applied in any way—hot air or hot water, steam, flame or electricity—or even from extreme cold. The injury resulting from contact with hot water or steam is usually called a scald, but is practically the same in its results as a burn. Surgeons speak of different degrees of a burn, according to the amount of tissue destroyed by it. Thus a burn of the first degree is one that simply redens and irritates the skin; a burn of the second degree is one that causes actual inflammation of the skin with formation of blisters, while a burn of the third degree destroys the skin and more or less of the flesh beneath it; or even chars and kills all the tissues, including the bone itself. The effects of a burn depend partly upon its degree, but not entirely, for a burn even of the first degree may cause death if it involves a very large portion of the surface of the body. This it does by interfering with the necessary excretion of waste matter which is constantly taking place through the skin. A curious effect of a severe burn in any part of the body is ulceration of the bowels following very intense congestion of the entire digestive canal. The bronchial tubes and the lungs are sometimes injured by the inhalation of steam or very hot air, but even apart from such an accident a person who has been burned about the chest or back is very liable to have an attack of bronchitis or pneumonia in consequence. The first thing to be done in the case of a burn of any degree is to stop the pain. This should be done not only from the natural impulse to relieve suffering, but because the shock resulting from the injury may be so greatly increased by the agony as to cause the death of the patient, even when the burns in themselves would not do so. Covering the part with any bland substance, such as olive oil, vaseline, sweet butter or flour paste, to keep off the air will often afford great relief, and in burns of the first degree nothing more may be needed. Carron oil, the name given to a mixture of equal quantities of linseed oil and limewater, was formerly and is still in many workshopsthe favorite application for a burn. Better still is bicarbonate of soda (cooking soda) or calcoined magnesia, made into an ointment with vaseline or lard or dusted thickly over the skin. Another application which is often exceedingly grateful is a solution of nitrate of potash (nitrite). Hunters oft The guard stood in silence. Here and there one drew a long breath, with a slow heaving of the chest and a lifting of the shoulders. Turning their eyes with an effort from the mob, they glanced at each other as though seeking confirmation for their thoughts, to be assured that all this thing had happened, that the dark forms on the pavement below had been a grim reality. A slight, pale faced private threw his rifle to the floor and turned his face from the window, with a burst of shuddering sobs. Others swore apparently at nothing and busied themselves with their weapons. No one paid any heed to the private who wept except that his next rank man stooped and picked up his rifle. The smell of burned powder hung in the air.—H. H. Bennett in Lippincott's. Doghouses and Dog Kennels. Doghouses is the name applied to a house made for a dog to live in out of doors; dog kennel to a house or box built for a dog's quarters indoors. The doghouse is likely to be for a big dog; the kennel, in private houses, for a little dog. There are few doghouses used in the city, and in proportion to the number of pet dogs not a great many kennels, but still the number of kennels in the aggregate is considerable. Doghouses are made with a sloping roof to shed rain. No such necessity exists in the case of the kennel, and kennels are always made with a flat top. Things may be placed on top of them: The kennel is practically an oblong box made of yellow or white pine or of whitewood, and customarily painted white and without ornamentation. The kennel has a grated opening in the top for purposes of ventilation, with a cover to put over to prevent draft. Formerly the doors of such kennels were made of wire cloth; now they are all made with bars of a very small sized gas piping. The kennel of this kind is so made that it is raised at the corners enough to make the bottom clear the floor, and it is often mounted on casters, so that it can be conveniently moved about from room to room. Such kennels are made by carpenters, and they cost $5 to $10 each, according to the size.—New York Sun. What "Goes" on the Yukon. In The Century there is an article on "The River Trip to the Klondike," written by John Sidney Webb. Mr. Webb says: Alaska is a country of more square miles than square meals, and the legendary governor of North Carolina would have found little else but muddy Yukon water, assaying 50 per cent solids to the liquid ton, in which quench his celebrated thirst. "Do as you please" is the motto. In civilization coats are worn for various reasons, "on the Yukon" because it blows up cold or rains. Napkins, tablecloths, sheets and pillows do not "go" on the Yukon, or have not even if she had the key to the puzzle it would only make her feel bad; so what would be the use?"—Washington Star. ARITHMETIC 1700 B. C. Sums Over Which Egyptian Children Puzzled Their Brains. Probably the oldest copy book for home lessons in arithmetic was recently unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus, which was found in excellent condition, dates from the period about 1700 B. C.—that is, about 100 years before the time of Moses, or almost 8,600 years ago. It proves that the Egyptians had a thorough knowledge of elementary mathematics almost to the extent of our own. The papyrus has a long heading, "Direction how to attain the knowledge of all dark things," etc. Numerous examples show that their principal operations with entire units and fractions were made by means of addition and multiplication. Subtractions and divisions were not known in their present form, but correct results were obtained nevertheless. Equations are also found in the papyrus. Among the examples given is this one: Ten measures of barley are to be divided among test persons in such a manner that each subsequent person receives one-eighth of a measure less than the one before him. Another example given is: There are seven men, each one has seven cats, each cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse has eaten seven grains of barley. Each grain of barley would, if cultivated, have yielded seven measures of barley. How much barley has been lost in that way? The papyrus also contains calculations of area, the calculation of the area of a circle and its transformation into a square, and finally calculations of the cubic measurements of pyramids.—Philadelphia Record. Shaking Hands. Men shake hands with strangers of their own sex with far greater readiness than do women. Two men, on being presented to one another, will frequently extend the hand in a grasp of greeting, which gives opportunity to form a general idea of each other's make up and know whether they are attracted or repulsed. Occasionally there is a man with sufficient good nature and courage to refuse another man's hand without causing offense. There are men who have been so impressed with the discoveries of bacteriology that they maintain handshaking to be the cause of dissemination of disease germs. The bare hand comes in contact with innumerable germs looking for pasturage on some vulnerable spot of our anatomy. A cut or abrasion on the hand leaves a door open for the admission of the enemy. Therefore it is with reason that men argue against promiscuous handshaking out of the home among the men met in business life. Science long ago frowned upon the practice of promiscuous kissing, which prevailed among women. Is the unloved handshake also doomed?—New York Ledger. A Lake That Never Gives Up Its Dead. "The Great Lakes" is the subject of an article in St. Nicholas. The author, W. S. Harwood, says of Lake Superior: Another very interesting and very daring thing about this lake is that it never gives up its dead. Whoever encounters terrible disaster—happily infrequent in the tourist season—and goes down in even if she had the key to the puzzle it would only make her feel bad; so what would be the use?"—Washington Star. Covering the part with any bland substance, such as olive oil, vaseline, sweet butter or flour paste, to keep off the air will often afford great relief, and in burns of the first degree nothing more may be needed. Carron oil, the name given to a mixture of equal quantities of linseed oil and limewater, was formerly and is still in many workshops the favorite application for a burn. Better still is bicarbonate of soda (coating soda) or calcined magnesia, made into an ointment with vaseline or hard or dusted thickly over the skin. Another application which is often exceedingly grateful is a solution of nitrate of potash (nitrite). Hunters often make a paste of gunpowder for this purpose. One or other of these applications will usually suffice in mild cases, and in severe burns will help to reduce pain for the time until the doctor comes—Youth's Companion. The Popular Fox Terrier. All terriers are good. They are as shrewd, game, loyal small chaps as ever stood upon canine feet or gazed at their owner with soulful, loving eyes, and of them all I prefer the fox terrier either wire haired or smooth coated. These wristocratic, diminutive gentlemen questionably are today the most popular dogs in the wide, wide world, and there are many excellent reasons why this should be so. From the palace to the cottage those dogs have proved their sterling qualities to the satisfaction of all concerned, and they are especially well suited to the conditions which govern in crowded centers. When the big St. Bernard, mastiff, Dane or other heavy breed is panting in the contracted back yard, howling on chain, pining for exercise and freedom, the terrier is merely having fun, busying himself about the house, warning off doubtful intruders and generally attending to everything which appears to require supervision. Clever, alert and stout hearted, he never relaxes his guard, and he fears nothing. His cleverness as a rule is a safeguard against his making mistakes regarding the desirability of visiting strangers. He seems instinctively to recognize persons who are not wanted about the premises, and woefor them if their mission be evil and their desire a stealthy invasion. He protests promptly and vigorously, and he will not cease until some one of his household has appeared and taken charge of the matter.—Ed W. Sandys in Outing. The Lion of Keos. There are lions and lions, but the lion of Ioul is the lion of Hellas, says Professor J. Irving Mannatt in The Atlantic. The lions on guard around at gate of Mycene may be older, but they have lost their heads and therewith their main majesty. The lion sentinel over Leonidas' grave at Thermopyla disappeared ages ago, though we still possess the inscription written for it by Simonides: Of beasts the bravest l., of mortals he, Upon this mound of stone now watched by me. The lion of Cheroneia commemorates a great and definite event, but he has been broken to pieces. Better luck has attended the lion of Keos. Couched here on his flank in the living rock, with reverted head, 28 feet from tip to tail, every feature perfect, full of life and majesty, one can hardly think of him as a more image made with hands. He What "Goes" on the Yukon. In The Century there is an article on "The River Trip to the Klondike," written by John Sidney Webb. Mr. Webb says: Alaska is a country of more square miles than square meals, and the legendary governor of North Carolina would have found little else but muddy Yukon water, assaying 50 percent solids to the liquid ton, in which to quench his celebrated thirst. "Do as you please" is the motto. In civilization coats are worn for various reasons, "on the Yukon" because it blows up cold or rains. Napkins, tablecloths, sheets and pillows do not "go" on the Yukon, or have not heretofore. Even the Klondike millionaire packs his blankets and takes what he can get. He'd Better Trade Her Off. There is a certain Yorkshire man who has won considerable fame and some wealth as an expert handler of horses. He is also the possessor of a pleasant home, a charming wife and a bright 3-year-old boy. The latter is the delight of his father's heart, and the little fellow not only knows lots of horse talk, but takes a keen delight in a mild attempt at holding the reins over a fast gee. The wee horseman has picked up the habit of calling his parents by their first names, and the way in which he utters them is decidedly cunning. One day not long ago his father came home in a hurry and found the luncheon wasn't ready. "What do you think of that, my small man?" he cried laughingly as he tossed the 3-year-old in the air. "Here's papa come home in a terrible hurry and no luncheon ready. What ought we to do with such a terrible mamma?" The little fellow's eyes sparkled. "Trade her off, Harry; trade her off!" he shouted.—Pearson's Weekly. Seven Years in Bed "Will wonders ever cease?" inquire the friends of Mrs. L. Pease of Lawrence, Kan. They knew she had been unable to leave her bed in seven years on account of kidney and liver trouble, nervous prostration and general debility; but "Three baitles of Electric Bitters enabled me to walk," she writes, "and in three months I felt like a new person." Women suffering from headache, backache, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, fainting and dizzy spells will find it a priceless blessing. Try it. Satisfaction is guaranteed. At all druggists. Only 50 cents, A Lake That Never Gives Up Its Dead. "The Great Lakes" is the subject of an article in St. Nicholas. The author, W. S. Harwood, says of Lake Superior: Another very interesting and very thing about this lake is that it never gives up its dead. Whoever encounters terrible disaster—happily infrequent in the tourist season—and goes down in the angry, beautiful blue waters, never comes up again. From those earliest days when the daring French voyageurs in their trim birch bark canoes skirted the picturesque shores of this noble but relentless lake down to this present moment those who have met their deaths in mid-Superior still lie at the stone paved bottom. It may be that so very cold is the water some of their bodies may have been preserved through the centuries. Sometimes not far from the shore the bodies of people who have been wrecked from fishing smacks or from pleasure boats overtaken by a cruel squall have been recovered, but only after the most heroic efforts with dragnet or by the diver. Once on a trip down the lakes I met a clergyman who, as we passed a point of land some miles before entering the narrowing of the lake at the Soo, pointed out the place where the ill fated Algoma went down on the reef some eight years ago, and as he looked he said slowly: "I was at the funeral of one man who went down with her, and the only reason his body is not at the bottom today with the other 88 that were lost is because it was caught in the timbers of the vessel and could not sink." The greatest poet of Persia was Firdousi, who composed an epic called "The Shah Nameh," about the middle of the tenth century A.D. Constipated Bowels. To have good health, the body should be kept in a laxative condition, and the bowels moved at least once a day, so that all the poisonous wastes are expelled daily. Mr. G. L. Edwards, 142 N. Main St., Wichita, Kansas, writes: "I have used Herblue to regulate the liver and bowels for the past ten years, and found it a reliable remedy." 50c at Halzfeld's. The lion of Cheroneia commemorates a great and definite event, but he has been broken to pieces. Better luck has attained the lion of Keos. Couched here on his flank in the living rock, with reverted head, 28 feet from tip to tail, every feature perfect, full of life and majesty, one can hardly think of him as a mere image made with hands. He looks rather as if in some prehistoric age—the colossus of his kind—he might have lain down here alive and turned to stone, possibly after clearing the island of its first occupants, for there is a myth handed down to us by an old writer that Keos was originally inhabited by the nymphs until they were scared away by a lion and fled to Karystos, leaving to the "jumping off place" the name of Lion point. At all events the monument and the myth make a perfect fit. Our lion is the very beast-to strike terror into nymphs or any other unwelcome neighbors. The Texas Girl. Chivalry used to be described as a southern virtue, and though we do not wish to imply that the men of the north are unchivalrous it is quite possible that in the south women are still regarded with a greater degree of formal reverence than elsewhere. A native of Texas describes with enthusiasm the women of his state and shows why they cannot fail to excite admiration. "They are," he declares, "sweet, polite, gracious and courageous; they do not curse or swear; they do not use slang, and are not drunkards. Most of them ride well on horseback and can use the six shooter, but do not want to take away a man's job or position." Could a more engaging picture be drawn? These lovely compounds of sweetness and strength know their power, but do not abuse it. They may resent injury in the most effective fashion, but they are not mean. They will hesitate before shooting a man who has a family dependent upon him. They are no mere amazons. The fact that they do not curse and swear shows that they possess also the gentler domestic virtues. Those who are in search of the ideal girl should purchase a ticket for Texas.—Providence Journ AND SCALDS. SHOULD BE USED BEFORE THE VECTOR Arrives. The result from excessive sunway—hot air or hotame cold. The injury re-contact with hot water or maybe called a scald, but is same in its results as a break of different degrees according to the amount of by it. Thus a burn of one that simply redens the skin; a burn of three is one that causes the skin with blisters, while a burn degree destroys the skin of the flesh beneath it and kills all the tissues on itself. A burn depend partly, but not entirely, for the first degree may cause a very large portion of the body. This it does with the necessary exertion which is con-place through the skin. Effect of a severe burn in the body is ulceration of flowing very intense con-entire digestive canal. Tubes and the lungs are irreded by the inhalation of hot air, but even apart accidenta person who has about the chest or back is have an attack of bronchonia in consequence. Being to be done in the case any degree is to stop the would be done not only from pulse to relieve suffering, the shock resulting from being so greatly increased was to cause the death of even when the burns in should not do so.

The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foot-hills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Annaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. The Terrapin Knew Him. When the late Major Moses P. Handy lived in Washington, he was frequently attending dinners at Chamberlin's.

She has no appetite for food and the choicest dishes cannot tempt her. She turns and tosses through a restless night on a couch which might woo an empress to slumber. She has no strength for household cares, no delight in social pleasure. She sits "perked up in a glistering grief wearing a golden sorrow." She is a wife and mother. But she has no happiness in either relation. She knows her husband's life is set in tune and time to the minor music of her own misery. If her child laughs or cries her nerves quiver with pain.

"I had been a constant sufferer from uterine disease for five years," writes J.A. Steorts of Yankee Dam, Clay Co., West Virginia, and for six months previous to taking your medicine I was not out of my room. Could not walk or stand, as there was such pain and drawing in left side and bearing down weight in region of uterus, accompanied with soreness. I suffered constantly with headache, pain in back, shoulders, arms and chest; had palpitation, nervous prostration, constipation, diziness, ringing in ears could not sleep and breathing was so difficult at times I could not lie down. Words fail to describe my sufferings when I wrote to you for advice. In a short time I received a kind letter from you telling me I would be greatly benefited, if not entirely cured, by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. When I had taken one bottle of the "Prescription," together with Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets and the local treatment which you advised, I could walk (with the support of a cane), the drawing and pain in side and bearing down weight were not so bad, and when I had taken three bottles of the medicine the periods were regulated. I was not so nervous, could sleep well, and the pain in side and bearing down had vanished. I have taken six bottles of 'Favorite Prescription,' two of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and four vials of 'Pellets,' and my health is better at this time than it has been in five years. "With grateful thanks for your kind advice, and with best wishes." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a most effective laxative for women. They cure biliousness and sick headache.

The confirmed opera goer drew a long breath. "That would make me happy it blew over my grave," he murmur blissfully. The woman with him looked at her doubtfully. "What's blowing?" she asked unsympathetically. "It's the perfume," he explained. "One always gets it when the curtains on the second act. The house full by that time and the odors of flowers and perfumes have grown heavy. The air is close and oppresses during the entracte, but when the coat goes up the draft sweeps out catches that indescribable odor and whirls it up here to the dress circle it's not like anything else.

TAKING CHANCES. People Who Will Learn Only by a Perilous Personal Experience. As a rule experience is profitable only to the individual who obtains it. When the aged man tries to save youth from mistakes such as he made, the youth smiles to himself: "The idea of that old fossil thinking that an up-to-date young man is going to make mistakes." It is a peculiar trait of human nature that each man thinks he is a little smarter than the others, and that he will succeed where others failed. "Oh, yes," says Smith, "I know that poor Jones got capsized in the rapids, but Jones never was a good hand at the paddle. It's a pity people like Jones will take such chances." And he smilingly launches his canoe to follow Jones alike in his feat and in his failure. THE EXTREME OF FOLLY. The most foolhardy man who ever risked his life, or the most infatuated gambler who ever risked his fortune, is a sage compared with the man who attempts to get the best of Nature. The foolhardy man may succeed. The gambler may win. But the man who takes chances with Nature is bound to lose. If the obituaries of tens of thousands who are cut down annually in life's prime were truly written death would not be attributed to this or that form of disease, but to an attempt to evade the necessary laws of health. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, a stomach and blood medicine, cures diseases of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc., by curing diseases of the stomach and digestive and nutritive systems. "For six long years I suffered with my liver, kidneys, and indigestion, which baffled the best doctors in our country," writes Mr. E. L. Ransell, of Woolsey, Prince William Co., Va. "I suffered with my stomach and back for a long time and after taking a quantity of medicines from three doctors, I grew so bad I could hardly do a day's work. Would have death-like pains in the side, and blind spells, and thought life was hardly worth living. I decided to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce and his staff of physicians. They said my case was curable and I was greatly encouraged. I began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets,' as advised. Before I had taken half of the second bottle I began to feel relieved. I got six more bottles and used them, and am happy to say I owe my life to Dr. Pierce and his medicines. These words are truths, as I live, so if this testimonial can be used in any way to be of benefit you need not hesitate to use it. I shall stand for the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute as long as life lasts." DON'T DELAY. Disease never leaps on a man like a lion from ambush and strikes him down at a blow. However suddenly a man may be stricken and however deadly the disease, the time was when it was a little thing, easy of control. If you are suffering from indigestion, dyspepsia, or any form of stomach "trouble," don't put off the proper treatment. "Golden Medical Discovery" will cure diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition at any stage, but the cure will be quicker the earlier it is begun. "For twelve long months I suffered untold misery," writes Mrs. Mollie Colgate, of Randolph, Charlotte Co., Va. "No tongue could express the pain that I endured before I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medicine. I was not able to do anything at all. Could not eat anything except bread and tea—or if I did the top of my head hurt so it seemed it would kill me; with all that I could do it would burn like fire, but now since taking 'Golden Medical Discovery' I can eat a little of almost anything I want and can do a good day's work as well as anybody can. Am better than I have been for years. I think your medicine is the best that ever was made, for it is the only thing that ever existed." THE EXTREME OF FOLLY. The most foolhardy man who ever risked his life, or the most infatuated gambler who ever risked his fortune, is a sage compared with the man who attempts to get the best of Nature. The foolhardy man may succeed. The gambler may win. But the man who takes chances with Nature is bound to lose. If the obituaries of tens of thousands who are cut down annually in life's prime were truly written death would not be attributed to this or that form of disease, but to an attempt to evade the necessary laws of health. The weak spot in the modern man is his stomach. It is in disease of the stomach that many of the maladies begin which carry off the busy men of the day. The seed of disease once planted in the stomach grows and spreads like some climbing parasite about a tree. It throws out a tendril about the heart and presently another which grips the lungs, and others again which take hold of kidneys and liver. Then suddenly the man is smitten by heart disease or lung disease; or sucumbs to some malady of kidneys or liver. The real seat of disease is the stomach. And one of the reasons why the diseases of the other organs often fall of a cure is that the treatment ignores the stomach, and attempts to treat directly the other organs, whose diseases are only symptoms of disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. THERE'S PLENTY OF PROOF of the soundness of the proposition that diseases of other organs remote from the stomach which are caused by disease of the stomach must be cured through the stomach, and, in fact, cannot be cured in any other way. The best proof in the world is that Doctor "For twelve long months I suffered untold misery," writes Mrs. Mollie Colgate, of Randolph, Charlotte Co., Va. "No tongue could express the pain that I endured before I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medicine. I was not able to do anything at all. Could not eat anything except bread and tea—or if I did the top of my head hurt so it seemed it would kill me; with all that I could do it would burn like fire, but now since taking 'Golden Medical Discovery' I can eat a little of almost anything I want and can do a good day's work as well as anybody can. Am better than I have been for years. I think your medicine is the best that ever was made, for it is the only thing that ever did me any good. I tried many other kinds, but none did me any good but your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Favorite Prescription.' I can never praise them too highly to any one who suffers as I did."

WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Baltimore, Md., March 30, 1901. Gentlemen: — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. Underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. Then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain. F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, MD. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.
