n THE OMAHA' DAILY BEK: KTXPAY, MARCH IP. lDOff. A rr nivvv rnv Thero is one man who stands out honestly and squarely upon the merits of his well-known remedies. Dr. R. V. PIERCE, who is author of one of the best-known medical books, the " People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," which has reached its GGth Edition, over Two Million One Hundred Thousand Copies having been printed, and who is head of one of the best Sanitariums and Surgical Institutes in the country, was the first physioian to use pure, triple-refined glycerine in the preparation of his vegetable compounds instead of alcohol. V V I j J 14 f v. , Nearly Forty Years Ago, "Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine of proper strength is a better solvent and preservative of the active medicf nal principle residing in most of our indig enous or natf.ve medicinal plants than ia alcohol. As its use is entirely unobjectionable, while alcohol as is well known wbVrj used even in small portions, for a protracted period, do;s lasting injury to the human system, espe cially in the case of delicate women and children. He foun1 that the glycerine, besides being entirely harmless,, possesses intrinsic medicinal properties, of great value. Its nutritive properties, Dr. Fierce believes, far HurpaM. those 6f cod-liver oil, entitling it to favorable con sideration in all cases of incipient consumption, especially whev it is combined with the active -medicinal principles extmcted from Black Cherrybark, Queen's root, Stone roof, Golden Seal root and Bloodroot, as in his ready puT-op -medicine the "Golden Medical Discovery.' Be ifx its superior nutritive propsrties, glycerine is a very valuable demulcent and thereby greatly enhances Ike remedial action of all the foregoing roots in the cure of severe coughs, bronchial, throat, laryngeal and other kindred affections 'of the air-passages and lungs. In all ."wasting diseases," where there is loss of flesh and gradual "running-down" of the sys-. teru, the glycerine certainly plays an important part in lessening the breaking - down and wasting of tissue, ar.d in promoting assimilation and increase of bodily weight. It is, in Dr. Pierce's estimation, a powerful reconstructive agent in all cases of impaired vitality and especially valuable when associated . and combined with such superior alteratives and tonics as in "Golden Med ical Discovery." Its wonderful solvent properties also play an important part in the cure of gall-stones, severe constipation, with dry and almost impacted stools. Gly cerine is also one of the very best anti-ferments and as -.jfach counteracts the excessive fermentation of Foods in the stomach, present in most cases of indigestion or dys pepsia. Thus the pain, belching of noxious gas, bloating and other disagreeable symptoms are overcome and the Stone root, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot and other ingre dients of " Golden Medical Discovery " are greatly as sisted in their action in completing a cure. As will be seen from the writings of Drs. Bartholow, King, Scudder, Coe, Ellingwood and other high authorities, these agents can confidently be depended upon for the most positive, curative action in all atonic, or weak, states of the stom ach, accompanied with distressing indigestion 6r dyspep sia. Read from the writings of the authorities quoted, under headings of Golden Seal root, Stone root. Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot, Queen's root and Mandrake root and you will find that all these ingredients are recom mended as remedies for indigestion or. dyspepsia. All are . in gredi" Jits of "Golden Medical Discovery," combined in such f crportious . that each enhances the curative action of alt t'ie others. $0r fOOLOeN GOLDEN SB TIL ROOT (Hydrastis). Trofessor Roberts Bartholow, M. D., was the first of the old school of medicine to publicly recommend (in 1887) Hydrastis or Golden Seal root. At that time Dr. Pierce had used this preparation as a principal in gredient in his "Golden Medical Discovery" for over twenty years. Since then Hydrastis has become of Na tional reputation as a remedy for mucous membrane diseases, especially in throat ailments and in inflamma tory Conditions of the lining membranes. GOLDEN SEAL ROOT (Hydrastis Canadensis). Dr. Robert Bartholow, Jefferson Medical College of Philadel phia, a reeofnUed authority on Mnternt Medico, and 2 War Hties, ssvs of Hydrastis (Golden fseal): "Very useful as a etora aehie tonio (stomach tonic) and in atonic dyspepsia. Cores gastric catarrh (catarrh of stomach) and headaches accompanying same. In catarrh of the gall doct and jaun dice, it is of especial utility. Constipation, dependent npon different deficient secre tions, with hard and dry stools, may be overcome by the remedy. Chronic catarrh of the intestines, even if it has proceeded to ulceration, is re markably benefited by Hydrastis." The foregoing is certainly a wonderfully strong en dorsement of one of Dr. Pierce's chief ingredients used in his "Golden Medical Discovery." From "Organic Medicines," by GroTer Coe, M. D., of Xew York, we extract the following: "Hydrastis (Golden Peal) zeroises an especial influence over mucous surfaces. Upon the liver it acts with equal certainty and efficacy. As a cholegogue (liver invigorator), it has few equals. In affections of the spleen, and abdominal viscera generally, it is an efficient and reliable remedy. Also in scrofula, glandular diseases generally, cutane ous eruptions, indigestion, debility, diarrhoea and dysentery, constipation, piles and all morbid and critical discharges." QUEEN'S ROOT (Stilllngia Sylvatlea). Prof. John King, M. D., says : "An alterative (blood-purifier) unsurpassed by tew it any other ot the known alteratives; most successful in skin and scrrfulous affections. Beneficial in bronchial affections 1 permsnently cures bronchitis relieves irritations an impor tant cough remedy coughs of years' stand ing being cured. Aids in blood-making and nutrition, and may be taken without harm for long periods." R. Bartholow, M. D., L. L. D., says : "Stillineia has long been in repute as an alterative and employed for scrofula in its various forms. Most satisfactory results have been obtained from its use in syphilitic affections. Recommended in habitual constipation, torpidity of liver, jaundice, piles, ascites (dropsy), due to hepatic (liver) changes' or obstructions." STONE ROOT (Colllnsenla Canadensis). "Alterative, tonic, stimulant. Valuable in laryngitis ' minis ters' sore throat. XiTOriB J HOOT ROOT In diseases of stomach and intestines im proves appetite, promotes flow of gastrin juice; tonic effect npon organs involved. A good remedy in indigestion, dyspepsia, chronic gastritis, increasing the secretion from kidneys and skin." American Dis pensatory. "There is no doubt of Collinsonia's action on the urinary organs. It has cured dis orders supposed to be due to gravel, ca tarrh of tbe bladder and dropsy from defi cient action of the kidnevs. Cures irritation of the cardiao (heart) nerves, with rapid, regular or irregular beating. Useful in valvular diseases." Edwin M. Hale, M. D., prof. Materia Medica in Hahnemann Medical College, Chicago. Wra. Paine, M. D., Author of Paine's Epitome of Medicine, New School Practice of Medicine and of the Medical Properties and uses of Concentrated Medicines, writing of Collinsonin (the active medicinal principle residing in Collinsonia Canadensis, or Hone root), says: "1, not long aince, had a patient who was so much oppressed with a valvular disease of the heart that his friends were obliged to carry him np-stairs. He, however, gradually recovered under the influence of Collinsonin, and is now attending to bis bnisness. Heretofore physicians knew of no remedy for tbe removal of so distressing and so dangerous a malady. With them it was alt guess-work, and it fearfully warned the afflicted that death was near at hand. Collinsonin unquestionably affords relief in such cases, and in most instances effects a cure." He further says:' "In a case of persistent ascites (dropsy), where the ordinary remedies fail to afford anything more than a temporary relief, Collinsonin produced a permanent cure." Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., in his treatise entitled "8pecifle Medication." . says : "Collinsonia (Stone root), is a specific hi ' ministers sore throat' (chronic laryngitis)." He continues: "It proves beneficial in other cases of chronic laryngitis, in chronic bronchitis and phthisis (consumption), allaying irrita tion ar.d checking cough. It also exerts a favorable influence upon the digestive processes, improving the appetite, facilitating digestion and acting as a general tonic. It passes off through the kidneys and exerts a tonic influence upon the entire extent of the urinary tract. I regard it as one of the most direct and valuable agents of the Materia Medica and one that icill give satisfaction to whoever employs it." The above are strong endorsements of one of the most valu able ingredients contained in "Golden Medical Discovery," vis., Collinsonia, or Stone root. Its virtues, however are not over extolled, as we can attest from our experience and observation in watching the beneficial action of the "Discovery" in heart affections, laryngitis, bronchitis, incipient consumption and other ailments noted above. "Collinsonia stimulates the stomach, acts as a tonic to en feebled muscular structure of the heart and has a direct influence upon atonic (weak) and dilated or otherwise impaired conditions of the veins. It is a specific remedy in piles. In catarrhal gas tritis, where the circulation is defective, it, either alone or com bined with hydrastis, is of first importance. They increase the appetite and greatly improve the digestion and assimilation of food. Good for rectal pains and piles of the pregnant woman. Is a heart tonic of direct and permanent influence. Excellent in the bicycle heart, in rheumatic inflammation and clergyman's sore throat." F. Ellingwood, M. D. Remarks. We can not refrain, at this point, from calling attention to the wonderfully beneficial effects produced by Stone root in valvular and other diseases of the heart, as described by Drs. Paine, Hale and Ellingwood. The latter, it will be noted, nays of it, "is a heart tonic of direct and permanent influence." He especially recommends it for the so-called "bicycle heart "a WtHEWy U BARK r, ia ethsr words, for all these sssss ef irregular heart actiou caused by over exertion. The wonderful regulating and strength-' ening effect produced upon the heart by "Golden Medical Dis covery" is accounted for by tha presence in it of the active medicinal principle of Stone root, and is also partly to be credited to the Golden Seal root contained in it. Tha Golden Seal root ia a most valuable heart tonio, and in fact exerts a tonio effect upon all of the muscular tissues of the system, and, naturally it follows that the heart, being mostly composed of muscular tissue, is faversbly affected and strengthened thereby. BLACK CHERRYBARK (fYiinue Virginians). Roberta Bartholow says: "Wild Cherrybark is an excellent stomach tonic; it has long been held in great esteem in domestics practice as a remedy in catarrnai states oi the bronchial mucous membrane and in phthisis (consumption)." "The sirup is ranch used as an ingredient in cough mix' tures." "The tonic influence of this agent is more markedly apparent when it is administered in disease of the respiratory apparatus (breathing organs) of a subacute (mild) or (lingering) chronic character. A common remedy lor chronic coughs, the cough at nervous patients without apparent cause; is popular in the treat ment of mild cases of palpitation. Palpitation from disturbed condition of the stomach is directly' relieved by it." F. Elling wood, M. D. BLOODROOT (Saafalnarla Canadensis). "Stimulates digestive organs, increases action of heart and arteries stimulant and tonic. Very valu able as a cough remedy acts as a sedative further valuable as an alterative." Amer ican Dispensatory. "Overcomes congestion of the lungs, after severe cold in the chest from exposure. Given in bronchial coughs, in membrane ous croup. It equalises the circulation of the entire system, inducing warmth in the skin and in the extremities. It will assist in overcoming heoatization (solidification of Inng structure and restoring normal tone and normal func tional action." F. Ellingwood, M. D. "Has most frequently been employed in incipient phthisis, bronchitis, influensa, pneumonia, croup, asthma, diphtheria, in scarlatina, dyspnoea (short breath), dyspensis, hydrothorax (dropsy of the chest) and jaundice." Edwin M. Hale, M. D. , " Its most important therepeutlcal effects are witnessed in dis eases of the respiratory (breathing) organs. Used In croup, in functional amenorrhea (absence of menses), chronic nasal ca tarrh and nasal polypi." R. Bartholow, M. D. MANDRAKE ROOT (Podophyllum PaKatum). "Certain, sure cathartic; leaves bowels in improved condition. A gentle stimulant tonic; improves the ap petite. Particularly valuable in dyspepsia, gastric and intestinal catarrh. Beneficial in some affections of bladder." American Dispensatory. . "Recommended in biliousness with mark ed inactivity of the liver, sallow skin and conjunctiva (eyes), constipation, dry stools and bloated bowels, highly colored urss containing uric acid. or urates in great ex cess. Is given in jaundice, gall-stones, piles; is an alterative in plethoric (full blooded) conditions, in skin diseases and in scrofula and syphilis." F. Ellingwood, M. D.

Wallace wf Rochester, N. Y.. the executor of the will of hla father, Edwin Wallace. a wealthy shoe dealer. The women sued to recover legacies of 1136,000 and t7l.fr respectively, which they alleged were due rrom the executor. Charges were made that about 1200.(00 of an alleged IUO0Q, 0 was Invested In Omaha realty worth only about ene-half the former amount. Ourdon W. Wattles and George W. Wallace of Omaha were witnesses In the case, which excited considerable Interest here. It re quired six' weeks to hear the suit and the oost of It was considerable. The Boston Herald treats the experience of Juror Mange from a psychological standpoint and xaya: ; -"How a man firm In the conviction that was right refused to surrender his opin ion to the arguments c.f eleven other men; how a man listened respectfully to the ar avments of eleven other men for twenty three hours, without sleep or rest, and at , the end of thai period remained unshaken; how a man srtth the sweat of anguish on WW ; 0 HOW WRINKLES COME Many a young woman is wearing; a prematurely old lootc through de fective eyesight.

It wa not stubbornneas; It was conviction. "V hen the jury which bad been listening for six long weeks to tbe testimony In lh. Wallace will suit, involving almost $300,000. filed out of the court room with the Im paseloneU oratory of Sherman I.. Whipple, counsel for the plaintiff, ringing In their eats, eleven of them had already decided against, the defendants. "The suit was brought against Oeorge E. Wailree of Rochester. N. H., a million aire shoe manufacturer, by his sister and nlc, to n-cover this money alleged to be due them from the legacy left by Edwin Wallace. The latter, when he died, left $136,010 for his daughter, who Is now Mis. Mary Oahm of Boston, and $75,000 for his grand-daughter, now Mrs. Etta Fratt of Clinton, Oa. In settlement ot their clalma against the estate the two women accepted In 18?9 the equity In certain real estate In Omaha. The property, It was alleged, proved to be of 'Ittle value, and the suit was brought to recover the amount alleged to be due them In the legacies, the claim being that 'the defendant, by alleged false representation, rauned them to make the settlement. On the stand Mrs. Pratt stated that her rea son for thinking her brother not fit to con tinue as executor of her father's will was because he was gambling so much. Attor ney Whipple was merciless In his treat ment of this alleged side of the defendant's character. Teat Ballot Before Dlaeaaalou. A teet ballot made before discussion of any kind revealed the fact that one man alone disagreed. It was not known who this man was. But they were not left long In doubt. Paul Mange atepped forward and addresaed the foreman. "Mr. Foreman," he said, "I am sorry to disagree with you, but I believe no case to 1 have been made. I wish to discuss this in detail with you. I will listen to all you say and .will give my reasons to you 'nr my position." Paul Mange has an earnest, serious face, ' well lined with wrinkles. His hair la Iron i gray, for ha la 57 years old. Ills eyes are deep set beneath eomowhat shaggy eye- , brows. His expression Is that of a man very anxious to understand correctly, and who to do so must listen Intently. He Is t not of native birth, and talks with a I marked Oerman accent, though distinctly, and with a nice choice of words. I He seated himself at one end of the jury room and began to marshal the facts which ' had led him to his verdict. He did this studiously, patiently, ' backing up every statement with a reason, sifting the avl ' dence with the acumen of a trained lawyer. , He is a man who received less than a com- mon school education, but he hss devoted himself for many years to such thoughtful reading as he found time for. One thing he proved to those eleven that he had tha case in question from be ginning to end at his finger tips. The I eleven then presented their side, and after ward put questions to him. He sat In tha corner, enswa-tng them la his serious, simple faauk. They took turns arguing with blrn. and he listened with careful at tention eaeh man. At tbe, end of sis hours another ballot aaa takeu. It stood n to I. The Jury waa summoned to the court room and given further Instructions by the court. Then they filed out sgaln and Paul Mange became even more serious. Tbe eleven returned to the attack, and the one Usterv'4 as Intently Lo every word they said as he had at the beginning. He waa looking a bit haggaid. a bit worn out, but be showed bo sign of Impatience. The eleven did not know waat to do. "OeoiUmen,' said Paul Mange, In his quaint dialect. "I wll. still listen. But until you convince me I shall remain here forever. If you should nail me to the wall 1 should not change against my conscience. I am sorry, gentleman," ha added apohj g tit-ally. Xlgbt airaeela of tha Jaraea. The evening lengthened. Hla honor went home. The attendants went home. Every one went home except these twelve men, jne tf. whom sat In the corner listening ,'Htlently, marshalling his facts. There was one thing atone that couid love this man proof. When a statement uidc by some witness was quoted to him e aeked simply, "Did he prove ItT" When he was given figures he asked, "Are they proven' correct?" When reference was made to the touching plea made by Attorney Whipple, his own . eyes filled with the memory, but he asked: j "Did he prove anything?" Then, again, he begun In his turn, and ar rayed before them once more facts, facts, ' facts, proven faets. But they could not see them as he did. j Hour after hour slipped by, and the strain j became Intense. The men were worn out with those long six weeks back of them. 1 and these last long hours of argument. ; They were alt nervous. Irritable and their eyes and heads ached. Then in his corner ! Paul Mange prayed prayed that IX his j sight were blurred he might be made to see; prayed that if his bruin Were dulled. It ' might be sharpened. Very simply, very earnestly, he prayed, his whole heart In it He did not feel himself to be one of twelve, but a single Individual upon whose shoulders rested the burden of this whole trial. He was keenly alive to the amount ot money involved, to the great expense to which the state had beiq put, to what it meant to the sisters, but equally what It meant to the defendant. He prayed for proof If he were wrong. Then he resumed his seat and began pa tiently to listen again and to compare again, and to question himself and the eleven again. So the' night more away. It was 10:30 o'clock In the morning before these twelve heavy-eyed men once more filed Into the court room. His honor asked If further Instructions were needed. The foreman answered: "No, your honor; I did not think any instructions would aid us. I did not think it possible to agree. We have done, our utmost to convince one dissenting party, and we have not been successful." That one was Paul Mange, the man who, with pained, serious face, but with head erect, looked the court full ln the eyes. The Jury, in view of the time and money which had been expended upon the case, were asked to try again to reach an agree ment. Ho they all filed out, back to the small room where they had spent almost twenty hours. They went Into the room eleven and one. They came out eleven and one. Paul Mange had said: "I am unconvinced, and until I am con vinced we shall remain here forever." The Jury reported once more and was discharged. The eleven went their ways , and the one returned to his wife and rhil j drun. worn out, but hnppy in the knowledge : that he had done hla duty both aa a man and as a rltlsen of his adopted country. Effect oa Paal Maaare. When Paul Mange came out of the Jury room he waa dased with the awful re sponsibility he had assumed almost a nervous wreck from the prolonged strain cf pitting his brain against the brains of eleven other men. His heart was still heavy with fear of possible Injury done the women who bad watched and listened throughout the whole trial. Had not At torney Whipple pointed to them dramatic' ally and appealed to hlin aa a man to pro tect them? And he was a man, every Inch of him. And the father of eight children. All the emotional side of his nature waa with these two sisters. His heart grew big at thought of them. He had wept for them while the able attorney was making his plea. "Yes. I ll admit It," he said, earnestly "My eyoe ware rilled with tears when I heard that man. What an orator he la He pleaded with his bands, his eyes, with his voice, with his whole body, and my heart answered. II Is natural for a man to side with the weaker party. I am the fsther of children and I am not heartleaa But when Z left that room I said to ray self. 'I must not let the heart come In. I mut put that aside.' Hers was a bus! a order to have amassed a fortune. I don't believe a man is dishonest because he is rich. It takes brains, ability and upright ness to mako a fortune honestly. And I will believe in a man until he Is proven dis honest. That Was what I asked for all through the trial proof. "Each night at the end of the trial I took home all my notes and then I told my wife nil about what had occurred dur ing the day. I sat up until late at night sorting out these notes and trying to get at the truth of them. I kept saying to myself, 'Here is a business man who has amasved a great deal ot prpperty. Now, if he has done what the plaintiffs claim, he has been dishonest. If I am to throw my vote for the plaintiffs I smirch his name forever. Before I do this I must have proof.' "I have great reverence for -the great laws of our country. I have great respect for a man's character. I have great re spect for women. Have I not myself for wife aa fine a woman as ever breathed? Bo it was hard for me. I did my best. I worked hard with all these things in mind and decided as before my Ood and my conscience as 1 believed to bo Just. '1 told the other jurymen that I was ready to be convinced if only they would give me proof. I must have something mart than unsupported statements. So, us fast as they gave me their reasons, I looked to see how the reasons were supported. I took each one and traced it back to Its source, always with Just one thing In mind to get at the truth. My conclusion was that I was right that the transaction had been made In good faith by the defendant. I admitted that many things had been done foolishly, but- we must stand for the result of our foolishness. It Is not for a jury to check the consequences of a foolish action. We can't straighten out such things by law. We were to deal with facts alone. My heart bled for those women, but I couldn't, as a Juror, help them out unfair To my mind they did not prove that they were entitled, on the facts, to what they demanded. So I voted aa I did. "And." he added solemnly,, "I would have remained in that room until now before I could have altered my opinion on the evi dence submitted. "Whon at last I was relieved of my du ties, I came out Into the air so weak 1 could hardly walk. I wandered about the Common for a long while before I could get my wits about me. I felt as though I were carrying some heavy burden, aa though my head were bound with Iron bands. The strain had been terrible to mo. After a while I gathered my wits to getlier and got some food, and then went home. But I felt the need in some way of expressing myself, so I sat down and wrote out a little verse. It is not very good, but I tried hsrd to say what was In my hea"d." Something- About the Maa. Paul Mange came to this country from Australia sixteen years ago. He is a chef by occupation. Ha came first to Boston, and wus steward in the Union club. From there he went to the Army and Navy club. In Washington, where, in. the course of his work as steward, he met many prominent men. He gave the club the reputation of setting the best table in that city. He then moved to Providence, where ho became su perintendent of the Providence Athletic club. He was for three years proprietor ot the Pawtuxet club. It was at that place that he met the greatest misfortune of his life. The hotel burned down one night, and with It was swept away all the sav ings of years. That is Paul Mange, the man who wept with the prosecuting attorney, but de manded proof; the man whose heart went out for the women In the case, but who de manded proof; the man who prayed to his God, but demsnded proof. His ambition Is to be known as a good American citizen, and he trusts that, in the end, his life will prove he was. by eloquent appeal to the other sealous whlga convinced them that they should not swerve from their plan of carrying the rock to a place In the town square. "The portion that first fell to the ground belongs to us," he cried, "and that we will transport with all care and diligence to its proper home." ' Twenty yoke of oxen drew the whig se tkm of Plymouth rock up the hill, amid the shouts of the throng that pushed forward around the liberty pole which was to mark the new site. The ceremony of dedicating the rock In Its new position was very Im pressive and people stood with bared heads and in reverent tones chanted their high pitched psalms In token of thanksgiving.
