75 Miles
It's a fact, strange as it may seem. If your
hair is of only ordinary thickness and about a
yard long, and if you should' place each hair
end to end, you would have 75 miles of hair!
It's a gray line, with age; a black line,
with Ayer's Hair Vigor. It's a ragged line,
when the hairs split at the end; a smooth line,
when the hair is fed with Ayer's Hair Vigor.
There's an immense amount of satisfaction in
every bottle of it.
M My hair was falling out very fat, was rapidly turning p,ray, and was very
harsh and dry. I tried Ayer's Hair Vigor, and toon my hair began to be soft
and glossy. In a short time it stopped falling out and all the old color was
restored. Then It commenced to grow very rapidly, and it is now five feet
five Inches long," Mrs. Lydia Kuykendali, Claremont, 111.

"I am over 72 years old nnd have long
suffered from kidney nnd liver trouble.
Not long ago I called a physician who did
mo no good, and .a friend recommended
Warnor'a Safe Cure. I began taking It
without hope that It would bo of any ser
vice, but at once I began to notice a change
for the better. In addition to kidney and
liver trouble, I havo suffered from rheuma
tism, Tho latter has entirely disappeared,
and I feel like u young girl. I am willing
at all times to recommend this greatest
of alt remedies. Thankfully yours,

policy prevailed of building cheaply. It
was thought almost anything would do no
long as tho roof did not leak nor the walls
cave. A wlce departure In recent years
has been made. The new hospital for the
lnaiini at Cherokee, tho Liberal Arts build
ing nt lowu City nnd the new buildings nt
both Ames and Cedar Falls nro excellent
In character. Thoso competent to Judge
have used this seemingly extrnvagunt
language In connection with the hospltnl
for thu Insane nt Cherokee; "The world
may and probably somo time will have a
better planned nnd more completely
equipped hospital, but It has none
better now." Tho tlmo for any
thing other than commodious build
ing of modern architecture nnd
of strictly tlreproof construction, has
passed, lei u do nopcu, in tins state.
I ' State Architect,
' T . I . ... J
n inii coiinrouon, i uesiro lo indorse
most heartily tho recommendation of tho
Board of Control that tho state architect
bo relloved from, designing educational
buildings. I am Of the onlnlnn Ihut ,!.
signs for all public buildings should bo
thrown open to competltoit. and tho plans,
beforo selection, examined by men of recog
nized nblllty and of national reputation.
The buildings hereafter to be erected
should be such as will stand tho test arch
Itecturnlly. i.n well as mechanically, not
only of this, but of subsequent, centuries.
niu wur in no one man win meet
these requirements. A building admir
able In Itself may not harmonize with
those already orectod a enmitiinriitinn
of great Importance. Neither will
success In ono Instance afford n guar
anty against signal failure In the next.
Architecture Is expression, nnd thereforo
cuucntionni. tiven mo sacrea writings
contain, tho lnnguagc and characteristic
expressions of more than sixty nuthors,
each Inspired, and their valuo nnd Interest
Is largely enhanced thereby.
Educational liistltutlnun.
Our -Unto educational Institutions uro of
great Importance and should be liberally
dealt with. It takes money to build a uni
versity. Iowa need not oxinct fn nnmnnt
v.ith Institutions that nro tho recipients of
donations aggregating millions .with meager
blennlnl appropriations. Thu Collego of
Agriculture nnd Mechanic Arts nt Ames Is.
admittedly, thu best of Its class In the
United States. The Union Htock yards of
Chicago expects to spend $10,000 at this In
stitution In tho department of nnlmal Iiub
bandry, believing there Is no place where
so good returns can be obtained. This fact
Is an Indorsement that shntilil mmnun.1
tho Institution to tho very favorable con
sideration or your nonoraDie uoay.
I.nssea Br Fire.
During the cast year both thn Rtntr. i
verslty and tho' College of Agriculture nnd
Mechanic Arts lost useful though not valu
able buildings. Temporary relief was
rrantcd In each Instance from thn ,mr.
gency fund, wisely provided by the last
general assembly. Commodious and per
manent buildings should he provided at tho
earnest uaio consistent wun tno available
resources ot tue state.
Normal Hchnolit.
Our single state normal school Is over
crowded. Tho attendance (over 2,000), In
my Judgment. Is In excess of what can bo
cared for with best results under one man
agement. Two years ago I recommended
tho location of tour additional normal
schools to be equipped and put In opera
tion from tlmo to time, as thn finances
of tho state might Justify. 1 recommended
J. C, AVER CO., Liwtll, Mats.
tho location of four. In view' of the fact
that every effort to establish one hail
failed, and I hoped four might be located
nt ono time without serious difficulty. Tho
nttcmpt was again made to locate one, but
rival Interests defeated It, as usual.
Itnrnl clinnlM,
In this connection, I again call atten
tion to the Inadcqunto educational advanta
ges In rural districts. Tho average country
school teacher receives less thnn $25 per
month, exclusive of board, less, we are
told, than In any other northern state, and
less than In several southern states. It
must be thnt the miliar nart of thn 1S.00O.-
000 annually spent by the stato for public
rchools is expended In cities nnd towns. It
Is exceedingly unfortunate that the rural
schools are of such n character that the
uvcrago farmer boy leaves nt It or 15 years
ot age. This lamentable condition will bo
painfully npparent In ten years, If It Is not
already. No number of colleges or univer
sities will meet tho demand or curo the
evil. The vi larto and city school Is espe
cially planned for those who begin nt fi
years of age and continue until graduation
without Intermission, It is n poor
place for a child from the rural
community. I have In previous com
munications discussed this question at
somo length. It has nlso received con
sideration wise consideration, I think
from the superintendent of public Instruc
tion, t bullevo with him that central
townshln schools with provision for con
veying the pupils to and fro nt public ex
pense, will afford greater relief than any
other proposed system. If to this could be
added a provision for tho employment of
a county superintendent at an adequate
salary, to be chosen In the same manner
ns city superintendents, nnd with analo
gous duties and responsibilities, It would
revolutionize our school system for good.
The salary should bo fixed by law or the
position would bo let to tho lowest bidder,
ns our rural schools largely arc at present.
It Is feared that somo of the teachers have
little else to commend them thnn kinship
to tho director. Nepotism Is generally con
doned If the compensation Is low enough.
Neither can very much bo expected of n
county superlntendency tinder it system
thnt invites considerations of nvnllnhllltv
only. If theso changes were made, somo
of you gentlemen might not be returned,
but you enn afford to sacrifice your po
litical lives If by so doing you shall servo
nnd save tho youth of Iowa. They will
hnvo no committee on legislation. Other
Interests will be represented. I appeal to
vou. Ecnttemcn. directly. Much of the evil
so manifest Is tho rcsultnnt of n wave of
sentiment that has In comparatively recent
years crenieu tnc impression tnat economy
Is the synonym of statesmanship.
Capitol Improvement Comnildsloii.
Tho Twontv-elchth ecnernl nssembly nu-
thorlzed tho creation of a commission to
Investigate nnd recommend such Improve
ment of the capltol and other property
ot tho state connected therewith. Includ
ing decorations, works of art, electric light
ing nnu uurginr inarms, ns in me opinion
of the commission would "place the cnpltol
hiilldlnc In a state of perfect reniilr." nnd
equip tho same with modern Improvements.
in ouecuoncn to tins provision, lion, reter
A. Dey, who was a member of the original
capltol commission, and who boro n con
spicuous part In erecting the present cdl
flco: I'rof. Charles A. dimming, nu artist
of more than state reputation, nnd Henry
s. Josseiyn, n lenmeu ami practical archi
tect, wcro seicctcu. 'ineir report is on
file, nnd Ih commended to vour careful
perusal and favorable consideration. This
commission n commends the expendlturo In
the nggngute of $250,000. I think It should
nil bo provided for nt one time, but It
need not nil bo made available In ono year,
I think It would be unwls& to mutilate
the recommendations. The commission
went .very thoroughly Into the subject tind ,
consulted the best authorities In the na
tion, nnd It Is doubtful If Its conclusions
can be hnstlly Improved upon. The whole
scheme has been carefully wrnueht .nut.
Those competent to Judgu believe the re
sult will do most saiisinciory. ine capitoi
Is considered tho third best In the country,
nnd Its architecture makes possible a moro
artistic Interior than any other. It will
do rememoerca mat tno original commis
sion wns suddenly and unceremoniously
discharged before tho contemplated work
was completed, as a result, ror nearly tne
fifth of a century visitors havo stood on
thn outside .of the building In great ad
miration, but havo entered It only to be
shocked nt the baro walla and unfinished
corridors. The recommendation of tnis
commission with reference to an electric
lighting plant is especially Indorsed ns a
matter of economy. A system of burglar
alarms Is also very Important. In the
samo connection, I suggest that nn arte
sian well bo bored nt the power house, tho
expenso of which can be nearly. If not
wnoiiy, snvea in one nicnnium.
Tho members of this commission have
performed the'.r duties ho thoroughly, nnd
nave so patriotically given their time to
tho work, that 1 recommend that they be
reimbursed for the expenses Incurred In
excess of the amount allowed by tho net
creating the commission.
l.nnUliinu Purchase Kxiinnltlnii.
Tho centennial of tho purchase nnd ces
sion to the. United States In 1803 of tho
larger portion of our national domain west
of tho Mississippi river Is to bo commemo
rated by what promises to be tho most
extensive exposition tho world has yet
seen. With your honorahlo body rests tho
responsibility of determining tho pnrt Iowa
shall take in this evont. wisely, this state
contributed little to tho TrunsmlsslsslppI
exposition In 1KM, nothing to' the I'an
Amerlcan exposition In 1901 and nothing to
the South Carolina and West Indian expo
sition whloh Is now In progress. But I nm
of tho onln'on that the people of this com
monwealth will approve such provision for
the Louisiana Purchase Centennial expo
sition ns will leave no doubt In the minds
of visitors that Iowa constitutes nn Im
portant pa-t of that priceless acquisition.
Something worthy of tno state, or nothing,
should bo our motto. Certainly there ought
not to bo created n commission with such
limited menns aB to bcllo our prosperity
and libel our resources.
VIckMliurir Xutloiiul l'nrk Commission.
Tho government has recently established
a national park at Vlcksburg1, and" the
Twenty-eighth general assembly authorized
a commission to locate the position of the
thirty-two Iowa regiments und other or
ganizations which took part In that memo
rable siege, and to recommend such legis
lation as shall suitably and permanently
mark the positions thus ascertained und
worthily commemorate tho valor und serv
ices of Iowa soldiers In the campaign and
sleco of Vlcksburs. This commission
was duly appointed nnd has tiled Its
report, which is submitted to your
honorable body with tha recommendation
that It bo published In suitable! form for
distribution. Tha commission recommends
tha impropriation of $150,000 for tho erec
tlon of suitable monuments. I am: of tho
ootnlon this amount Is not excessive! A
larger imoportlon of Iowa trootm took nart
In this siege than In any other battle or
siege, ana, numerically, morn soiuiers from
Iowa were there engaged than from any
other state savn Illinois. Visitors ought
never to leave this park doubting either
tho patriotism of Iowa soldiers or the ap
preciation of Iowa people. Tho Light
lirlgudo In the famous churge at Balaklava
lost CI per cent and Tennyson has Im
mortalized their valor. The Twenty-second
Iowa In a slnglo charge at Vlcksburg lost
82 Der cent (several other rcttiments dur.
Ing the slego lost from 50 to over 70 per
ccnii aim it win now uu uiu privilege or
tho twenty-ninth general assembly to per
manently comemmorato both their valor
and tneir awiui sncrillce.
Halarles,
I am still of tho opinion thnt tho salary
of the chief executive of this state ought
to bo Increased. A bill fixing the salary
at $5,000 passed tho lower house of tho
twenty-eighth general assembly, but for
want ot tlmo tailed to pass tho senate.
Salaries of all stato olllcers aro very low.
They wero llxed at n time when living
expenses were much lighter than at pres
ent. oniciui iiomu.
In former years tho bond of tho treas
urer of state was jaoo.ooo. This, through
tho discration lodged with the chief ex
ecutive, has been recently tncreused to
$S0i),000. t'or more than six months tho
balance In tho treasury of the state has
exceeded $1,000,000 and 1 am of the opinion
thnt tho treasurer's bond ought to ho ap
proximately large. I am also of the opinion
that this bond Hhould be furnished at the
expenso of the state, The market valuo
of tho bond now furnished by. the state
treasurer Is $1,000 per annum. Tho present
treasurer actually paid $1,500 In cash for
his bond of $300,000. The proposition on
final analysts resolves Itself thus: The
stato treasurer, If his bond shall remain
at $800,000, must pay $1,800 per annum In
excess of his salary or he must secure by
subscriptions among his friends that which
Is purchasable In tho. market. I think
similar provisions should be made with
respect to all bonds roqulred ot public
officers.
Interest on Htate Funds,
In view of the largo treasury balance
much of the tlmo I recommend that pro
vision bo made whereby the state may
receive Interest on at least the greator
portion and I am gratified that the treas
urer Joins In this opinion and recommenda
tion. Initialisation of Assessments,
The executive council, sitting as a board
of equalization In July of last year, passed
tho following resolution:
"Tho executive council recommends to
tho general assembly such modification
of tho statutes of the state as will allow
the board of review to adjust tho assess
ment of all property at' the same time, and
It suggests the fallowing ways In which
this may bo dono; Either the railroads
might be assessed primarily by the rail
road commissioners (who, In view of their
duties, should bp the better prepared than
any ono else to Judge of the rotative value
of the several roads), nnd then the ex
ecutive council adjust all assessments nt
the Jul meeting, or tho tlmo of assessing
railroads, If left with tho oxecutlve council,
might be changed from Mnrch to July, so
that the whole subject should be before
the council for adjustment nt the time."
This action was not taken for the purpose
of escaping responsibility, but In view of
the fact that the present law requires the
executive council to nssess railroads nn
nually In the month of March and equalize
the assessment of nil other nrooertv In
July following, it does not contemplate a
revision of the railroad nssessment already
made, 'ine lonnwing illustrations win, I
think. Justify tho recommendation: In
March. ISO?, the railroads were assessed at
a slight Increase over the figures of nny
previous year, but In July following It wns
found thnt real estate had been assessed
J22.OCO.000 less than two years before, In
March, 1001, while tho railroads were ns
sessed $2,5no,000 higher than In 1899. In July
it was found that real estate had been
assessed $lt,OC).000 higher than In 1899.
The I'nrote System.
Tho twentv-clehth irenernl nssemblv pro
vided for tho employment of a parole clerk
In tho ofllre of the chief executive. This
action I have Interpreted ns legislative
approval of tho policy which has grown up
In tho stato of granting conditional par
dons, and by reason of this nddltlonal as
sistance I have been able to Investigate to
somo extent the practical workings of tho
parole system.
During tnc ten yenrs prior to

them, It Is' believed, wero Innocent of tho
crimes cHlirged. A detailed list, giving tho
nnmes oi uu persons to wnom executive
clemencyhns been extended, und my rea
sons therefor, is this day submitted to your
nonorauio uouy us provmeu uy statute. I
refer to the subject here us preliminary to
tho following suggestions and recommen
dations. I think additional legislation
should ho had. but 1 do not favor enrnm.
Derlng the parolo system with specific re
strictions, i tnuiK me enter executive
should have nbsolute authority to release
ut pleasure any one charged with a less
offense thun murder In tho Hrst degree and
to return htm to tho penitentiary nt his
discretion. Tho statutory provision tor
shortening tho term becnuso of good con
duct should bo so amended ns to permit
the governor to declure tho samo forfeited
in case tho conduct of tho prisoner when
on parolo Is not satisfactory. Each case is
distinct from all others, and no plan can
uo formulated with sufllcleut elasticity to
meet the requirements of changed nnd
over-changing conditions. Under stnttltory
provisions, ns distinguished from froe exer
cise of nn unrestrained discretion, it Is as
easy for tho Intentionally vicious to earn
release as for thoso of honorablo and vir
tuous Instincts. I have paroled several
beforo they havo over seen tho peni
tentiary. This I havo not done, however,
uxcapt upon tho recommendation of tho
trial Judge nnd the county nttorncy who
prosecuted. ' There nro two quite distinct
classes of criminals; tho one deliberately
and permanently vicious, the other to
somo extent the creature of circumstances,
and no law can bo made that will enable a
chief oxecutlve or n pardon board to dis
criminate wisely. Mistakes will be mado
nt best, but on the whole I believe In tho
greatest possible discretion, and the free
exerciso thereof.. 1 have returned several
to tho pcnltentlnry becatwe their early
education was neglected. They had never
been taught to worK, nnu wnon released
would not nink or accept employment
They uro now In the tool fuctory at Fort
Madison acquiring what they should have
oeen taugnt in youin.
Bureau nf Labor Statistics.
The Investigations made by tho bureau
of labor statistics during the last blenulum
nro of great Importance, and tho report
will be found interesting nnd valuable.
Moro than Sou factories wero Inspected, and
tho facte ucertalned and reported lead to
the belief that It would be woll to' mako all
needed provision for the Inspection of the
nearly ls.ouo other ractones in tno cities
nml towns of Iowa, employing 00.000 nor-
sons. The sanitary conditions of many of
the factories examineu is wen nign alarm
ing, and I think demand consideration by
this general assembly. Tho department
should be clothed with authority as ample
as thn mine Inspectors, nnd H should be
mado Incumbent upon tho commissioner to
protect employes from Inadequate heat and
dangerous machinery, nnd to enforce ade
quate, flro escapes and wholesome, sanitary
conditions.

Lake Beds.
Two years ago I called attention to the
fact that tho title to the beds of n largo

t think It would he wine to memorallza
congress to protect the rights of the stato
by appropriate legislation, ucrtniniy noth

what Is now believed to be our vested

be wise to grant these lands to some one

Oil Inspection.
Rxnerlence hnn shown thnt tho pro

insufficient to protect tho public. The most
vile nnd worthless adulterations nre readily

quired to place a label upon ,the vessel

should be provided for the sale of adultera

State Boundary.
The act of concress which admitted tho
state of Iowa Into the union tlxed the west
ern boundary of this commonwealth as
the middle of tho main channel of the Mis
souri river. Since that time tha channel of
the river has chanced, nnd there Is con
siderable territory formerly In thin state
now on tho western sldo of that river. Tills
has given rlso to much controversy, and
to some litigation. At the last session of
the legislature of Nebraskn a boundary
commission was ntlthorlzcd, tho samo to
bo appointed when the legislature of Iowa
should make similar provision. The No.
braska law provides for three members to
bo appointed by the governor to receive
$10 per diem for a period not lo exceed
thirty days, nnd tho sum of $2,000 wns ap
propriated to defray tho expenses of the
commission. I recommend similar action
In this state tn tho hope thnt a permanent

by tho states Interested therein, and by the
congress of tho United States.
In Memorlnni,
During tho last blcnnlum the people of
this stato have been called to mourn the
death of Hon. John II. Gear legislator,
speaker of tho house, governor, representa
tive In congress nnd United States senn
tor n most conspicuous character In Iowa
history. Of no man has It ever been said
with greater verity, "He was tho scrvnnt
of tho people." He never hold a position
that he did not fill, nnd never filled n posi
tion of which he wns not worthy, or In
which he failed signally to honor thoso
who had honored him,
Moro recently our people were appalled
nt tho violent death of' tho best beloved of
rulers nnd the most honored of men, Wil
liam McKlnlev. president of the United
Htntes. I shall not weary you, gentlemen,
with nn attempt to recount the virtues of
that noble character. Tho Immortal words
used by Lincoln concerning Washington
and which havo been repeatedly reiterated
as applicable to their author, can now bo
said of McKlnley: "To add brightness to
tho sun nnd glory to the name of Washing
ton Is alike Impossible Let none nttcmpt
it. In solemn awe pronounce the luimu
find In Its naked, deathless splendor leave
t shining on."
Hucn a trinity or nnmes messes not tne
annals of nny country but ours, nnd no
other people cherish such a priceless legncy
of Influence.

SPENCER, Neb., Jan. 14. (Special.) No
event slnco tho incorporation of this vil
lage, about eleven years ago, has cnufed so
much genuine excitement and good feeling
as the announcement on Friday evening
by Hon. O. F. Bldwell, general manager ot
of the Fremont, Elkborn and Missouri Val
ley Railroad company, that their railroad
would be extended from Verdigris, Neb., and
located at this placo by tho first of next
Scptomber. Over one hundred town lots
changed hands on Snturday and other
transfers In real estato aro reported. Some
of tho business men from Butte havo pur
chased sites and will engage In business
hero, as the road' reachos within about
three miles of that placo when extended
from this point. Right-of-way has been
secured from Verdigris to Spencer and the
road is definitely located thlt far. Tho road
will undoubtedly bo extended from this
place at somo future date, perhaps this
season, but Just how far or In what direc
tion Is known only to the officials having
tho matter In charge. This will mako
Spencer n good town, as the larger por
tion of tho good agricultural lands of
Boyd county Is tributary thereto, bcsldei
the placo Is In ttio geographical center of
tho county and about duo north from
O'Neill. Three lumber yards have started
here within the last week, viz., Nyo &
Snyder of Fremont, Edwards & Brad

of Stuart, Several other businesses havo
also started and a new bank Is proposed.
Manager Bldwell has mado several trips
to this county this winter, Ho has made
himself nearor to the hearts of the people
of this county and Knox than any other
railroad official could possibly expect and
much credit Is duo him for his efforts tho
past four years In getting hit people to

Comedy or Tragedy ?
HouBohold Dramas on which
tho Curtain is Drawn.
The daily press, makes us familiar
enough with the scene in the tlrunVarti's
family in which the intoxicated matt
fintliiiK the meal not to hi liking, throws
it on the floor nnd proceeds to vent his
temper by smashing crockery nnd furni
ture. This is pure tiagctly to the nhtised
and helpless family, nnd to the onlooker
who through the "windows of the press
views the sad scene. But the dailv paper
never has a word lo say about the sober
and reputable man of family, who, in a
fit of irritation) dashes to the floor or out
of the window some dish not to his liking.
The press doesn't tell because it doesn't
know. Family pride nnd love draw the
curtains of privacy closely about such
acfitcs, and it is only when the long
sufTering wife appears perhaps in the
divorce court thnt the curtain is raised
for a moment and reveals the miseries
love lias long hidden. This is not a
fanciful case. There is many n good
home haunted by this skeleton "of utihap
pittess ; many a reputable business man
whose home coming is both feared and
dreaded. To an outsider the sight of a
man furiously throning a dish of cake
from the window, or savagely Vicking a
chair out of his way, would provoke a
smile. Hut to those in the man's family
his conduct provokes only tears.
THK CAUSU OK IT AI.I.. .
It is not natural ill -temper or pure
meanness which makes a man so moody,
sullen and irritable. The cause of his
condition is generally to he found in dis
ease of the stomach, often involving the
liver, kidneys or other organs. The
surest and quickest cure for disease of
the stomach nnd other organs of diges
tion and nutrition is found in the use of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
"Having seen the advertisement of
your 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and
being a great sufferer from the effects of
stomach trouble for the past eight years,
I concluded to try your medicine," writes
Mr. W. A. Maxwell, of Marshfield, Coos
Co., Oreg. "I had tried almost every
known remedy, also consulted with the
best medical skill attainable, but all with
out any relief. After reading one of your
circulars I concluded to try one bottle of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
After taking one bottle I felt so relieved
it induced me to continue. Am now on
the fourth bottle, and have not had a
spell of bloating or 'acid stomach'
(Vhich was very painful) for the last
six weeks. Before the use of your medi
cine I was in dread of every meal time,
for in twenty minutes after eating I
would be racked with pain. Indigestion
was my principal ailment, and I have
been also terribly afflicted with asthma,
which I believe was brought on through
the medium of indigestion. Now, as I
stated, after having used four bottles of
your medicine, I have not had an attack
of sour stomach or painful bloating, and
my asthma has just about disappeared.
In fact, I feel better now than for the
last ten years. As I am largely known

THK WORST TIttNO TO UO.
Tile worst thing to do when the stom
nch is diseased and causes discomfort,
such ns belching or acidity, is to take
some of the many palliatives put up in
the form of pills, tablets, powders, etc.
These arc not remedies for the tlisease.
They only superficially change existing
conditions. Allow that they "sweeten"
the stomach, release the accumulated
f;as, check fermentation, etc. All this
s only temporary. The diseased condi
tion of the stomach is untouched. Dis
ease never stands still, and therefore the
stomach itself is getting worse instead
of better. It is the result of the use ol
some of these numerous palliatives that
men and women, when they have ex
hausted their little helpfulness, find
themselves with nit aggravated form of
stomach "trouble." If these palliatives
had not disguised nnd covered up the
earlier symptoms, the people would long
ago nnvc sougnt ana
found a real cure.
The moral is that if
your stomach is "weak"
or diseased don't trifle
with trivial palliatives
get the medicine which
cures disease of the stom
ach and other organs oi
digestion and nutrition,
Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery.
"I'or three years I suf
fered u n t o 1 tl agony,"
writes Mrs. II. R. White,
of Stanstead, KUnstead
Co., Quebec, Ilox lis. "I
would hnve spells of
trembling and being sick
nt my stomach, pain in
right side nil the time ;
then it would work tio
into my stomach, nnd such distress it fa
impossible to describe. I wrote to the
World's Dispensary Medical Association,
stating my case to them, and they very
promptly answered and told me what to
do. I took eight bottles of Dr, Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and five viala
of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Thanks
to Dr. Pierce and his medicine I am a
well woman to-day. Dr. Pierce's medi
cine also cured my mother of liver com
plaint from which she had been a suf
ferer for fifteen years. We recommend
these medicines to all suffering people."
WHAT YOU MAY KXPKCT.
You may expect from the use of
"Golden Medical Discovery" the same
results which have followed its use iu a
multitude of other cases. You may
expect that the stomach will be perfectly
nnd permanentely cured that br the
perfect digestion and assimilation of food
the whole lxdy will receive new strength;
that lost flesh will be regained. You
may expect that if the disease of the
stomach has involved the heart, liver,
kidneys or other organs, that the disease
of these organs will be cured with the
cure of the stomach.
Why may these things be expected?
Because they are the common experience
of those who have been cured by the
use of "Golden Medical Discovery."
These experiences follow the law of ex
pectations, by which we naturally expect
that an effect which has usually followed
a given cause will not cease to follow it.
By the same law you may expect
"Golden Medical Discovery" to cure
you. It has n record of cures, covering
nearly n third of a century. In ninety
eight cases out of every hundred it has
perfectly and permanently cured the dis
eases for which it is prescribed and rec
ommended. Those who suffer from chronic disease
are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter,
free. All correspondence strictly private.
