GET RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams' Pink PlHa Strene,Uien
the Stomach ami Enable It to
Do Its Work.
When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter
fereuoe with other organs, especially
with the action of tho heart and lungs.
These gases have other ill effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, ho
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
despondency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach la
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs a tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment.
Miss Minerva C. Ladd, of Ipswich,
Mass., says : "I had a weak stomach
from the time I was a little child.
Whenever I took hearty food it would
cause terrible faintuess, aud I would
finally vomit what I had eaten. At
times there would be tho1 most intense
pains through the upper part of ray
body. For days in succession, I would
have to lie down most of the time.
The distress was often so great that I
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spells were very
disagreeable, too.
" My doctor's medicines gave me little
relief and it was not until I tried Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills that I found a cure.
Within three weeks a decided improve
nieut was noticeable. The belching
spells were 'less frequent, the pains
through my body were not so intense,
my food wasTetained and after taking
the pills for a few weeks longer I found
that I was altogether free from the
miseries I had so long suffered."

FOOD HELPS.
In Management of a R. R.
Speaking of food, a railroad mam
says:
"My work puts me out In all kinds
of weather, subject to irregular hours
for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds of food.
"For 7 years I was constantly trou
bled with indigestion, caused by eat
ing heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poor
ly cooked food, such as are the most
accessible to men in my business. Gen
erally each meal oV lunch was fol
lowed by distressing pains and burn
ing sensations in say stomach, which
destroyed my sleep and almost un
fitted me for work. .My brain was so
muddy and foggy that it was hard for
me to discharge my duties properlv.
"This lasted till about a year ago,
when my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad.
and I concluded to try it Since then
I have used Grape-Nuts at nearly ev
ery meal, and sometimes between
meals. We railroad men have little
chance to prepare our food in our ca
booses and I find Grape-Nuts mighty
handy, for It is ready cooked.
"To make a long story short, Grape
Nuts has made a new man of me. I
have no more burning distress In my
stomach, nor any other symptom of
Indigestion. I can digest anything so
long as I eat Grape-Nuts, and my
brain works as clearly and accurately
as an engineer's watch, and my old
nervous troubles have disappeared en
tirely." Name given by Postom Co,

A Vindication for Dr. Pierce.
Decision by the Supreme Court of the
State, Against the Ladies Home
Journal.
A verdict has been rendered in
favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit
brought against the Ladies' . Home
Journal (published by the Curtis Pub
lishing Co.) by the World's Dis
pensary Medical Association, of which
Dr. R. V. Pierce is president The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co.,
for making false statements about one
of his standard family medicines
known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. In the May number of the
Ladies' Home Journal (1904), Mr. Ed
ward Boh. the editor, stated that Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con
tained alcohol and some other harm
ful ingredients, and Dr. Pierce had
hi the action alleged that the defend
ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
matter. Dr. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con
tained In his "Favorite Prescription,"
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
terious ingredients whatever; that Mr.'
Bok's statement, pretending to. give
some of the ingredients of said medi-,
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the Vice
President of the World's Dispensary
Medical Association stated, that the
ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden Seal,
Blue Cohosh, Lady's' Slipper. Black
Cohosh and Unicorn, by means of
pure glycerine. He was asked how
he knew, as a physician and ex
perienced medical man, that the, "Fa
vorite Prescription" was a cure for
the diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante
version retro-version, and he stated
that he knew such was the fact be
cause of his professional experience
and the many thousands of women
whose ills had been cured by this
"Prescription." The Vice-President,
being asked to give his authorities,
read from the standard works, such
as the United States Dispensatory,
The American Dispensatory and many
other standard medical books.
The retraction printed by the Cur
tis Publishing Company two months
after the libelous statement appeared
and nearly two months after the suit
had been begun stated definitely that
analyses had been made at their re
quest and that the "Favorite Prescrip
tion" did not contain either alcohol,
opium or digitalis.

CHAPTER XI. Continued.
The poor fellow looks piteously at
Miss Pauline, then goes to the win
dow, and looks out, with his head rest
ing disconsolately on his hands, and
his elbows on the sill.- Meanwhile
Miss Pauline in low tones describes
the recent daring exploits that have
made Colonel Bob a hero and a lion
"In Paris, while the girl listens with
open-eyed wonder. Presently she
rpakes the amende honorable Bob
feels a 'warm breath near his cheek,
then his name is whispered in the
softest of tones:
"Bob! oh, Bob!"
He answers not, nor turns his head
then a rounded arm slips around
his neck, and the voice of the charmer
Is heard again: ,
"Bob, dear Bob, forgive your little
Dora!"
With exceeding delicacy Dick and
Miss Pauline have turned their backs
upon the couple at the window,
though both smile broadly In the
midst of their conversation when a
very positive smack is heard, imme
diately followed by a low cry of, "You
naughty Bob."
' Tt's made up, thank goodness,"
says Pauline.
They're happy again," sighs Dick,
with such a look upon his face that
the girl from New York laughs out
right "If the divine passion brings such
nps and downs In its train, what folly
for people to seek Its favor," she re
marks, with a twinkle in her eyes that
Dick' catches.
"Still it is a universal falling has
been from the time of Eve, and will
be -to the end. We cannot change
our natures any more than the leopard
can his spots," he says, stoutly, and
something in his look causes her to
turn rosy.
"These desperate men, how they
must hate, you. The Mexican does J
mzri so. mciurzs'F
not -hesitate to stoop low in order to
win his point What will they at
tempt next?"
"Well, they won't have much more
of an opportunity to get at us in
France, as we shake the dust of Paris
from our feet in twenty hours and
by the next morning sail from Havre."
"You have decided to go with us?"
and another blush follows the attempt
to' appear calm.
"Certainly. Now that this man
seems to have decided upon harsh
measures against you pardon me,
Miss Pauline, but you need a protec
tor," and his glance grows ardent
"I have always been able to pro
tect myself very well up to this time,"
she replies, rather coldly.
"Nevertheless, unless you order me
away, I am going with you to Mexico,.
I mean to see the last of Senor Lopez,
and checkmate him at his game. May
I go, Pauline?"
She laughs merrily.
"You decide first, and then ask per
mission. Yes, you may go. There
now it is late. Good-night, gentle
men." CHAPTER XII.
The Message
Miss Pauline Did Not
Receive.
' There Is nothing for it but to obey,
and the two gentlemen depart for
their rooms, which is not a great way
off, the colonel in a transport of de
light, while Dick Is feeling rather
elated himself.
The last night In Paris has turned
out to be quite an adventurous one.
Only a few more hours remain before
day mu6t come. Dick sleeps uneasily
he has before his mind the impos
ing, figure of the New York girl, who
came alone at the most dismal hour
of the night to warn him of sudden
danger. What though it was too late
her intentions were all the same.
No wonder he cannot sleep as of
yore his days and nights of bachelor
freedom and ease are numbered with

ence 'the ups and downs that .mark

bachelor; enter the sighing, daring
and determined lover, eager to win a
smile from the being he adores, ignor
ing most things that formerly went to
make up his existence, in the race for
a wife.
The balance of the night passes
quietly, and with the rising of the sun
the gentlemen are astir.
Colonel Bob examines himself in
the glass, and sees that a barber may
remedy the work of the flames, so he
hastens to find one.
Dick meanwhile seeks the scene of
the previous night's conflagration, and
in the house across the way finds his
portmanteau, together with that of his
comrade.
Thanks to the foresight of the
colonel in locking them, no damage has
been done.
Securing a vehicle. Dick has the
leather trunks carried to the Grand
Continental. Bob turns up presently,
looking something like himself. The
flames mercifully spared him for
which he cannot be too thankful, for
Bob Harlan would feel lost without
his hair.
"Pardon," says an attendant, touch
ing Dick's arm. "Mamselle Is wait
ing for ze gentlemen in ze private
sitting-room. Zis way, please."
They obey with alacrity, as both of
them feel the pangs of hunger. The
room is a cozy breakfast parlor, and
both Miss Pauline and Dora are there.
Dora Is more of a companion than a
lady's maid, after all, and Miss West
erly treats her as she would a warm
friend, which fact, it may be set down
for certain, pleases a certain indi
vidual known as the Sheriff of Secora
County.
Miss Pauline has been reading aloud
from the columns of a Paris morning
paper, the Figaro, and ravishing
Dora's ears with the praise given to
the brave American who performed
such prodigies of valor in rescuing so
many lives.
"So, the conquering hero comes,"
exclaims the New York girl, as she
rises to shake hands with the blush
ing colonel, who. keeps his regards
fixed upon Dora most assidiously.
They sit down, and breakfast is
served in the way that the Grand Con
tinental is famous for, snowy damask,
delicate china, and food fit for even
rich Americans. Over the table they
are merry why not? all of them are
young, and life looks rosy indeed,
from their standpoint
They shape their plans for the day,
which is to be their last in the French
capital, and decide upon the hour of
starting for Havre, referring to the
time table of the railway, and finding
that the evening mail for the coast
leaves at 7:10:
If, as they have reason to believe,
this dastardly outrage, the burning of
the lodging- house, lias been the work
of Senor Lopez and those tools who
stand ready to aid him. they can im
agine the rage of the Mexican when
he reads the morning papers, anil finds
his plotting has been in vain that
where he would hare made annihila
tion sure, he has simply created an
opportunity for the American eagle
to scream again.
They see and hear nothing of him
during the day, but have a conscious
feeling that his spies have them un
der continual surveillance.
During an hour in the afternoon
that they have to themselves, Dick
and his comrade replenish their stock
of fire-arms. They are going now to
a country where it will be more nec
essary than ever to depend upon them
selves for protection, and both men
know full well the value of good wea
pons at such a time.
Thus the day wears away.
They all have an early dinner,
spread by the hotel management, and
paid for by Yankee gold.
Miss Pauline seems a little anxious,
as though expecting something that
has. not come.
At a quarter after six she calls a
messenger and delivers a letter.
"If we have left the hotel for the
railway station, th'e one the Havre
trains starts from, follow us. A
nepoleon l you catch us. Should you
fail, have the message sent by wire
to Havre at my expense."
The messenger bows and hurries
away. Dick happens to hear what has
been said, and wonders what business
of importance Miss Pauline has ne
glected until the last hour; but he
wisely remains silent It is none of
his affairs, he reflects, and yet later
on, upon considering the matter, he

comes to the conclusion! that perhaps,
after all, he did have a little interest
in that business. ;
"All aboard for Mexico!" calls
Colonel Bob. as a ansa announces their
carnage waning. , j
They rise from the table In some lit
tie excitement and proceed to look
after the small things. Travelers of
such long experience know just where
to find everything, and in a short time
their trunks having been sent ahead,
they enter the carriage that has come
to take them to the railway station.
The gentlemen are very attentive,
and look after everything that Is nec
essary tickets and compartments are
secured, the baggage registered, and
it is seven o'clock.
Colonel Bob enters the car; he has
been walking up and down, enjoying
the comforts of a cigar, at the same
time casting curious glances upon the
people to be seen at a Parisian rail
way station.
"Well, they're on board," he says,
smiling.
"Who is that?" demands Dick, sus
piciously. "Our friends, the enemy."
"It's nothing more nor less than I
expected I suppose they come bag
and baggage. The haughty senor "
"The beautiful senorital" says Miss
Pauline.
"And that charming bull-fighter the
great and only Barcelona I always
doted on bull-fighters!" remarks the
provoking Dora, which remark causes
Colonel Bob to grin.
"That Isn't all I have also a blood
hound on my trail, seeking my life
the shadow that has sworn to follow
me to perdition, or Mexico, or any
other hot place, in order to get even
the hornet that stings so painfully
is after me!" he cries.
"What! not that miserable bug
hunter?" says Dick.
"The darling little Professor John
aboard this train! It Is too delight
ful!" murmurs Dora.
"That same wretched specimen of
British assurance and arrogance Is
on board, also bound for Mexico, I
reckon. If we run across each other
again, I suppose I'll have to do him
up and next time I will, so me
Moses!" and as Bob thus makes use
or the professor's favorite phrase
Dora almost goes into convulsions.
Now the cry is heard, "All aboard!
Of course there is something of a
rush, for even in a well regulated
French railway station there Is always
the man who comes late, and the wom
an who at the last moment discovers
that she has forgotten to look after
her luggage, the friends who come to
see others off. and call out endearing
phrases all the sights, in fact, so
familiar to any one who spends much
time about railway depots.
"Here we go." says Dick, as with
the clang of a signal-bell the train
starts.
Miss Pauline takes one sweeping
survey of the lighted station scurry
ing figures are all around her, but she
seems to Icok in vain for the one she
seeks. Finally she sinks back, and the
others can hear her one despairing
word:
"Useless!"
Dick chances to be at a window, and
looks back into the lighted station
they are now leaving, just in time
to see a man running after the train.
It has gained too much headway for
him to catch Dick recognizes the
messenger who was to bring Miss
Pauline an answer. He says nothing
about it. since it is none of his busi
ness. If the matter is worth atten
tion, it can of course be sent on by
telegraph to the steamer at Havre.
(To be continued.)
Getting the Business Done.
A few years ago, before the Austra
lian ballot system was in use in elec
tion primaries, Attorney General Wil
liam H. Moody, who was then a law
yer at Haverhill, created no end of
amusement by a remark that was Im
mediately turned into a joke and
which has clung to the cabinet mem

In those days the "slate" was usual
ly made out before the caucus by the
party leaders, and in this particular
case "Bill" Jeffers had been selected
to present the "slate" to the assembled
voters. It was new business for Jef
fers, and he became a trifle nervous
when he secured the floor. He had
the list of names of the delegates In
his hat. which he held in his hands
as he stood up to address the chair
man. But, in his nervous plight he
seemed unable to read the names and
stillness reigned for a few moments,
while he endeavored to gain control
of his vocal organs:
Mr. Moody was standing In the rear
of the room, and after some time had
been wasted by Jeffers in trying to
gain his power of speech, Mr. Moody
addressed the chair, saying: "Mr.
Chairman, I move that the list of
names in Bill Jeffers hat be nomi
nated," and It was. amid suppressed
laughter. Boston Herald.
Plummer's Odd Passenger.
Some years ago, when the late Al
bert Plummer of Stillwater. Me., was
postmaster, and also stage driver from
Stillwater to Orono, he was doing his
stable work one morning when In
came a young fellow called Henry,
who was well known for being simple,
to engage a passage down on the
stage in the morning of the next day
for himself and a young lady he was
going to take to the circus at Ban
gor. He hardly knew how to tell Mr.
Plummer about the young lady. After
waiting a while he said: "Mr. Plum
mer, I want to go down with you in
the morning." "All right." said Mr.
P.. "I will call for you." Henry hung
around the stable awhile, and finally
he said: "Well, Mr. Plummer, there
is another young lady wants to go,
too."

many such people, in fact la every weary,
thin and tain-blooded person, do their
work with great difaculty. As a result
fatigue comes early, is extreme aad lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of tho supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood ccr
taia materials and return to it certain
others. It is necessary to prepare tho
stomach for the work of taking up frosa
the food what is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly ia professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet cer
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root. Queen's
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root Then there is Black Cherrybark.
The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glve
erine as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver ia
vigorator, when combined ia just the
right proportions, as in Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
serves, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware of the high medicinal value of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glvcerine as a solvent and
usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,
with alcohol.
The "Golden Medical Discovery'' is a
scientific preparation compounded of the
glyceric extracts of the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains ao
alcohol or harmful habit-forming dregs.
