t.
The above quotation applies very aptly
to the case ot any of the doctor who
lacked the requisite knowledge and skill
to cure J, D. Clark; who has been a sick
Wan for the past sixteen years. Mr. Clark
was in such a condition that he states
J he would gladly have paid a fee of a
j" $1,000 to any doctor who could have cured
d him. But ho found no such a one, though
1 he tried many. At last without hope of
being cured, but with despair and deeper-
atlon In ' Ms heart, he called upon the
United Doctors. He did not pay them
11,000, for they only demand a modest
fee less than $100. But what '.a much
mors Important to Mr. Clark, they gave
lilm back his health and life.
Speaking of the matter yesterday, Mr.
Clark said: "For over sixteen years I
.have been almost a constant sufferer
from constipation and its lung chain of
symptoms. ' If I did not take some physic
every night; nyi bowels would not move
at all. ' As' a result, of my constipation 1
bad a great deal of headache. My nerves
became a wreck and at times I was
Utterly unfit for business. The worst of
it waa the more physic I took, the more I
bad to take, and (t seemed there was do
cure for me that I would Buffer the rest
of my Jlfe." T often made the remark that
I would .gladly give. $1,000 for a cure. I
tried everything mnay doctors had failed
to cur rue and 1 tried all kind of patent
medicines. Many things helped for a
while, but none were curative. Finally I
went to see Dr. Ben W. Kinney of the
United Doctors, who have their Institute
on the second floor of the Neville block,
corner lth and Harney streets, Omaha.
Dr. Klnsey said he could cure me and
did sot charge me $1,000, nor even $100.
He has cured nie sound and well. My
ache and pains ate gone. My bowels
move naturally, my nerves are oulit up
I nd I fe.ltke a new man. I elve all
praise to the United Doctors' system of
treatment. The reason 1 went to tho
United Doctors was that I met a travel
ing man on the train, who had been cured
of rheumatism and kidney trouble by their
. treatment In the East.
. "I am ' real estate dealer. I .ravel a
1 great deal, but my permanent address U
Eureka. III., and I would gladly answer
any Inquiries about my case. I wo tl J not
take a thousand dollars or five thousand

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 17. "Of the very Import-
ant work of the coming legislature," said
W. B. Reed of Madison. "Is the enactment
of a law to guaranty bank deposits and
a law to permit the people to elect precinct
assessors." By getting rid of the county as
sessors the people will save thousands of
dollars. I believe the democratic state ad
ministration and legislature Is going to be
able to prune doWn expenses and save
money for the tax payers."
Mr. Reed Is a prominent lawyer of Madi
son and made speeches all over the Third
district for Governor-elect 8hallenberger.
He is not after any office, so he said to
day, while here attending court. Mr.' Reed
Is considered one of the big guns in the
ehaUenberger camp and owing to the
fact that the new governor!" under obll-
gatlons to him, he will have the executive
ear, It Is said, in the matter of appoint-
ments.
Editors to Be Remembered.
Democratic editors are going to fly high
and light on the feed counter for the next
two years. It is reported on good author
Ity that Oovernor-elect Shallenberger is
going to take care of a bunch of the "gang
that does the work and draws no pay." He
has already made Editor Pratt of the Hum
phrey paper an oil Inspector, and at least
three other newspaper men are under serl
ous consideration for good Jobs. While It
was reported yesterday that C. J. Bowlby
of Crete was likely slated for labor com
mlssloner, there Is a report out this morn
ing that this place may go to John Dono-
van of Madison or to Will Maupln of Lin-
coin. It Is practically certain that Dono-
van can get any Job at the hands of the

Shallenberger has taken his oalh of office 1
as governor of the state. The supreme
court set the date last October. Mr. Shal

Made of Forest Roots
Dr. Pierce believes that our American forests abound in most valuable medicinal roots for
the cure of most obstinate and fatal diseases, if we would properly investigate them; and, in
confirmation of this conviction, he points with pride to the almost marvelous cures ef
fected by his
"Golden Medical Discovery"
which has proven Itself to be the most efficient stomach tonic, liver
Invlgorator and blood cleanser known to medical science. Dyspepsia,
or Indigestion and torpid liver yield to Its curative action.
The reason w hv it cures these and manv other affections, is clearlv shown in a little Knnt
extracts from the standard medical works which is mailed free to any address by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y.t to all sending request for the" same. '
Not less marvelous. In the unparalleled cures It Is constantly making of woman's
many peculiar affections, weaknesses and distressing derangements Is .
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
as Is amply attested by thousands of unsolicited testimonials contributed hy grate
ful patients who have been cured by It, often after many other advertised medi
cines, and physicians had failed.
Both the above mentioned medicines are wholly made up from the glyceric extracts of native, medicinal
roots. The processes employed in their manufacture were original with Dr. Pierce, and they arc carried on
by skilled chemists and pharmacists with the aid of apparatus and appliances specially designed anrl built for
this purpose. Both medicines are entirely free from alcohol and all other harmful, habit-forming drugs. A
full list of their ingredients is printed on each bottle-wrapper. Don't accept secret nostrums as substitute0
