The next step below bronchitis is consumption. It is near the bottom on the down-grade hill of disease. The symptoms of bronchitis are tightness in the chest, difficult breathing, soreness darting, sharp, or dull and heavy pain, or a prickly, distressing sensation, accompanied usually by a nagging cough and expectoration. There is no cure for bronchitis, or for sore throat and weak and bleeding lungs, unless the blood -is purified. Those ailments will last as long as the blood remains thin and weak until the stomach is put in proper shape to make good blood.

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery i9 the safest and surest remedy for all the persistent, aggravating, wasting diseases 'of the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs that come in advance of consumption. With it the sufferer can face about the other way, and mount upward on the steps of health. It is a tonic, and creates hunger. It is an aid to digestion, and helps the weak stomach to do its work properly. It "brings about the proper assimilation of food, and thus makes the blood pure. As the pure blood courses through the veins, all the microbes ana impurities disappear, and with them the diseases which they cause.

Don't take substitutes when the dealer offers them. Substitutes for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery are not to be depended upon. They may contain alcohol or morphine. "Golden Medical Discovery" contains neither. It is a temperance remedy, and creates no desire for strong drink or narcotics.

Romance in Which te oi Chinese Empire and Great Powers Were Involved.

JUST, ESCAPED DEATH.

Empress Dowager Fearing His Influence Over the Emperor Offered Reward for His Assassination.

Cnder Kane's Influancejthe Emperor I* sued an Extraordinary Series of Kdlctl Many of Which Were Equivalent to a

Involution—Increased Liberty for th« I'ren—Rdict for Free Schools. The story of Kang Yu Wei, the great Cl.nese reformer, is one of the great romances of the age. It la a romance In which the fate of the Chinese Empire and the high politics of the great powers of the world are Involved.

Kang gained the confidence of China's Eniperor ajmost brought about FS-IvI™ ?f Cejpatial Rmpire on modb£T^l"ek"eeTcmJCt?d by the Dowager Empregji and condemned to death. Only with the aid of British war ships did he escape, There is pow a reward for his MS&saib&llGii.

A child of th§ common people, whose fathej %as a small shopkeeper, and frhose grandfather was a coolie, Kang rose from obscurity toy force of brains ahtl determination alone.

When the reform movement began to break 6ut openly in China, & year or two ago, Kang appeared at the head of it. He was a very Dr. Parkhurst. In company with the Rev. Mr. Reid, a Presbyterian missionary, he organized a club and started the first newspaper ever published in Pekin, except the Official Gazette, which has been going for 3,000 years. They called the new paper Chinese Progress, and advocated reform, the adoption of modern ideas, the right of petition and the freedom of the press.

With his almost American energy and audacity, Mr. Kang succeeded in breaking through the sacred seclusion which surrounded the Emperor. He obtained admission to His Majesty'? presence at all times, much to tha alarm and indignation of the Empress Dowager, the Princes and all conservatives. He became a sort of tutor to the Emperor.

Kang read to the Emperor the life of P^ter the Great and inspired him with a desire ti emulate that remarkable monarch, ™-ho lifted Russia out of barbarism. Through Kang the Emperor also became familiar with the development of Japan, and resolved that China should not be left behind its near neighbor in the march of progress. The Emperor became so much interested in Kang's books that he had them read to him twice, and Kang's visits to the palace sometimes lasted eight hours, exciting intense anger ifnd jealousy among the high officials.

Under Kang's influence the Emperor Kwang Su issued a series of extraordinary edicts. One of them granted the right of petition to the throne for everybody, and said that "The Baaed of Censors will hereafter be dpligflPeu with the specif] duty c£ reviving and BTHSAtias km Majesty an petitions tjiat may be presented by scholars not in office or me& o£ ihe people, persons hitherto hoF allowed to address thd ihrone, except through their respective Viceroys or GoVerhorS. The Board of Censors 18 Warned not to put obstacles in the way of people who wish to communicate with His Majesty, for only through such sources, can the Emperor learn the exact state of affairs throughout the empire."

This proceeding was regarded ae equal to a revolution by the Conservatives. Mr. Kang was in great danger, but, nevertheless, he went ahead. He persuaded the Emperor to sipn another edict recognizing the freedom of the press, which was issued on August «9. 1898. By it the editors of newspapers were granted "the special privilege of writing on political subjects In order to enlighten those in authority, and tear off the veil which hides in security the misgovernir.ent of officials. This is the primary reason for the institu tion of newspapers in all countries."

It is difficult to convey an idea of the ••ensation this edict created. Hitherto theve were no unofficial newspapers outside of the treaty ports, and any one who had the audacity to criticise an official had his head cut off, while a mere attempt to communicate with the Emperor was punished by a horrible death.

Mr. Kang is also credited with having secured an edict, for the establishment if a free school system and a number of universities at the capitals of the several provinces for instruction in modern sciences. Another edict required candidates for office to be examined as to their knowledge of modern history.

He further brought about the abolition of slings and bows and arrows as weapons in the army, and also the use of fireworks and bad odors,

Wang Tu Ho, for a quarter of a century the most powerful man at court except Prince Kung, had been the Emperor's tutor, and had great influence with him. He wae the leader of the conservative party, and undertook to oppose Reformer Kang, but he met with disaster. He was stripped of his offices and honors, banished from Pekin and forbidden to ever enter the gates of the city again. Several others who attempted to oppose the young Canton* reformer met with a similar fate, and It is believed that he, with the assistance of Kang Yen Hoon, brought about one of the numerous degradations of LI Hung Chang.

One of the great objects of Kang's policy was to bring about honesty in the financial affairs of the empire. The Empress Dowager was the greatest thief of public moneys, and it was Kang's boldness In this direction that
