The money in circulation is all gold and silver. It is common to see a collector walking along the street with a bag of gold on his hack. Curiously the very weight of the money—one person can hardly carry more than $40,000 in gold—often acts as a deterrent feature in embezzlement.

Doctor J. B. Evans -was arrested this afternoon on the charge of operating a “blind tiger,” last Sunday and Saturday. He will be arraigned before Mayor Hamilton this afternoon.

As a result of the fact that the doctor frem Winchester turned Ora Fryer loose when he had the smallpox an investigation may be made, which might terminate in the arrest of the physician.

Making Good Makes Friends

There is no way of making lasting friends like “Making Good”; and Dr. Pierce’s medicines well exemplify this, and their friends, after more than two decades of popularity are numbered by the hundreds of thousands. They have “made good” and they have not made drunkards. A good, honest square-deal medicine of known composition is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an immense sale, while most of the preparations that came into prominence in the earlier period of its popularity have “gone by the board” and are never more heard of. There must be some reason for this long-time popularity and that is to be found in its superior merits. When once given a fair trial for, weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections, its

superior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence it has survived and grown in popular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have suddenly flashed into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten. For a torpid liver wtttu its attendant indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, perhaps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, with distress after eating, nervousness and debility, nothing is as good as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It’s an honest, square-deal medicine with all its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper—no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug, therefore don’t accept a substitute that the dealer may make a little bigger profit. Insist on your right to have what you call for. Don’t buy Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Expecting it to prove a “ cure-all.” It is only advised for woman’s special ailments. It makes weak women strong, sick women well. Less advertised than some a g O [ its sterling curative virtues still maintain its position in the front ranks, w ... , u , nr . . . • , i • • :* Tt won’t satisfy those who want booze, tor As an invigorating tonic and strengthening nervine it is unequaled. it y there is not a drop of alcohol in it. although the first pill of their kind in the market, still lead, and when .nd Stomach, Live. and Boweb.
