If his coolness fails or his nerve gives way, disaster ami death reach out for him. It's the giving w ay of the "nave" which proves fatal to so many a man. Per haps he is simply crossing the street, as he has done ten thousand times. He hearsa shout, stops, hesitates, gets " rattled " and is run over. When a man finds that his memory plays him false often, when he starts off to get something and forgets what he went for, when he snows he has locked the front door and yet an irritating uncertainty compels hnn to get up and verify his knowledge, then that man is in dan ger at any minute when confronted by a trilling danger. He is unnerved. This condition can be perfectly cured by the use of Dr. Pierre's Golden Med ical Discovery. It strengthens the stom ach, nourishes the nerves, and purifies the blood. It contains no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant.

Those who favor the erec tion of a High school assert there will be no dlfllculty In securing a petition contain- nK enough slcnatures. nnd the proposition nlny yet be voted on at tho April election. Superintendent Wolfe reported that the night school Is dwindling in attendance, only fifteen pupils now receiving Instructions In each room. The question of discontinuing tho night school has been left with tho trachcrs' committee. Dr. Wolfe Plated that , the attendance at Highland school had fallen off until only about 130 pupils were present at tho dally sessions. The fear of small pox In that locality tends to keep pupils nway trom tho school, but as all danger has passed now, It Is expected that parents will allow their children to resumo their studies.

When ho found that he was really getting bet ter, ho told tbo doctor what ho hud dona and dismissed him, continuing tho medi cine, nud in three months this dying mini was about his usual duties, thoso of an expressman, and mh dually cured. On tho strength of this cure 1 got a bottlo ami dropped all oilier medicine. My doctoin sent mo to Kansas, as a good placo to go, out of their Jurisdiction, and to die.
