passions Bml prejudices of the civil war
era are forever burled In the t'nlted Ptates.
No more striking tribute was ever paid
to the martyr president than was passed
upon lilm by this former eminent confed
erate soldier. It recalls the eulogy paid
to Sumner. Just after his death, by Sena

of "the lost cause." I,oc e eulogy of Lin
coln was the lust public utterance of one
of the bravest soldiers of the south, and,
like the dying words of General Grant on
Mount McGregor, It waa an eloquent plea
for perpetual peace.
In the confederate Memorial day exer
cises In the various states w hich have held
them this year there were as fervent ex-
pressslons of loyally to the government as
w-ere ever uttered by ex-unlon soldiers or
any others In the north. At the cere
monies of the approaching Memorial day
on the national side there will be more fra
ternal mingling of the blue and the gray
than have been witnessed up to this date.
The Influences which have burled the last
trace of sectional feeling have been es
pecially busy In recent years. President
Roosevelt, In his expression of love for the
south and In hia appointments of ex-confederates
and their relatives and descendants
to federal posts, has done more to blot out
the geographical lino In politics than has
any other president of any party. An era
of good feeling has come which Is far
more striking than that of Monroe's day.
The fraternization between the sections Is
closer at this moment than it was at any
time before the civil war, for the slavery
Issue was a disturbing factor In the rela

For the first time In the country's his

longer a north or a south In the old parti
san sense, but only a nation In which all
localities have an equal part, and we can
all reverently thank God for It.

At this time of the year many auto
mobile exnerts are looking ahead to a
final test between t,he automoble and
the locomotive. Already the automo
bile has made faster time than any
locomotive, but there ia danger ahead
for all concerned in such races. This
season of the year reminds us that we
are all more or less ic a race for life in
which death overtakes many who are
run down and in a weakened condi
tion, ready to take up with the germs
of grip, pneumonia, spring fever, later
typhoid and the many weaknesses
which often end with consumption and
the grave. A reliable tonio is what is
needed, something which will put the
machinery of the body in strong, vigor

BULE8 OP HEALTH.
"Remember this, that our bodies
will not stand the strain of over-work
without good, pure blood any more
than the engine can run smoothly
without oil." Affer many years of
study in the active practice of medi
cine, Dr. R. V. Pierce found that when
the stomach waa out of order, the
blood impure and there were symp
toms of general break-down, a tonic
made of the alterative extract of the
following medicinal plants and roots
was the Lest corrective. This he called:
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
The ingredenta:
Golden Seal (Hydrnnti$ Canadmsit).
Queen's root (Utillingia Sylratica).
Stone root (eWtn.sortiVi Canadfntt) .
Cherrybark (Vunus Viritniana) .
Bloodnxit iSanguituiria Cunadrnti) .
Mandrake Podophyllum 1'rltatum).
For over a third of a century this tonic
and alwrative has been more 'largely
sold than any other blood medicine o
nerve tonic. Being made without alco
hol, this "Medical Discovery " does no
shrink up the red blood carpuscles, bub
on the other hand it increases their
number, and they become round and
healthy. It helps the stomach to as
similate or take up the "proper ele
ments from the food, thereby helping
digestion and curing dyspepsia, bears
burn and many uncomfortable eymps'
toms, such aa neart-palpitation due l
gas formed in the stomach. Jt tt
especially adapted in diseases attended
with excessive tissue waste, especially
in convalescence from the various spring
fevers, whether of a malarial or ty
phoid character. As a tonic and recon .
struotive during and after the influences
of grip it will prove of particular value.
It has been extensively used aa a re.
builder after the severity of a rheu
matic attack.
Mrs. Gertrude Vandenberg, of 061
College Avenue, Appleton, Wis., sayst
"I had always fn)oyed the best of,
health until last summer when I bad
scsrlet fever, the effects of which
seemed to remain, causing defective
hearing ; my strength did not return,
and I felt acute templo pains, and ex
haustion, also I would perspire freely,
if I made the slightest physical exer
tion. The doctor did everything he
could to drive the humor out of my
system, but was unable to do me any
good. I began to take Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and soon
found it was helping roe slowly but
surely. 1 took it for twelve weeks,
when I was restored to perfect health.
My appetite is excellent, my complexion
much improved, and I am able to at
tend to my duties with renewed vigor
and strength. I heartily recommend
your ' Golden Medical Discovery' as a
wonderful 'strength-giver.' "
