jlt.i1 we have done 50 In eo far a It was possible. We have had fome thirty ppeclal deputies rnsaj?ed in the duty of arresting, conveying and guarding thete prisoners. "You will understand that we have had nt times some six or Ff-ven hundred persons under arret or detention. Cut that number has been reduced to fixty-tlve. and after the setting nf the Federal Court at Moscow the number will be much less. I state, therefore, that wo wilt be able to take entire charge of the prisoners! after Nov. 1. It should be stated .here, however, that the?e men have not been under arrest by reason of Indictments upon the part of the State, but because they were men whom we could not permit to be at large under the present condition of affairs in that section. The men who were held under Indictments found by state grand Jury, and whom we des!red to try. escaped prison a few days before the regular term of the court, at which time all preparations had been made to try them."

LETTISH FROM STKHI1EH. Idaho Governor Snym He Will Accept All Responsibility COLUMBUS. O.. Oct. 23.

The letter was written voluntarily, it la said, by the Governor, owing to the criticism whicn has been made of the federal government. Governor Steunenberg nays: "While it Is not necessary to inform you of the relative positions of the State of Idaho and the general government In this matter, as this status is clearly defined by ctatute. Mill It may be proper, for pur- . pose of general information, to add that the State of Idaho is responsible for all that has been done in Shoshone county relative, to the call for troops, the arrest, detention and care of prisoners, the regulations under which th-? mints can and have been operated from the time of the Insurrection up to the present time and the regulations of all matters concerning the employment of men in these mines, all of the above matters having been under the Immediate supervision, control and direction of the offices and representatives of the State if Idaho, and not in any way of the federal troops. I further state that the State of Idaho assumes and acknowledges all responsibility for the manner in which affairs are conducted in the Cour d'Alenes so Ion; as martial law, as proclaimed, prevails."

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.1 William Rockefeller was to-day elected a member of the executive committee of the New York Central Company at the meeting which authorized an issue of 113,000.X)) additional stock. The World Fays: "The election of Mr. Rockefeller to the executive council of the New York Central system is ot far reaching importance, as it marks the surrender of the New York. New Haven & Hartford system to the New York Central. ?.Ir. Rockefeller was elected a director in the New York Central a few weeks ago. He and his brother, John V. Rockefeller, have never heretofore commanded any influence In New York Central a flairs, although they have for several years held a big block of its stock. Rut they have been Important factors In the management of the New York, New Haven & Hartford. William Rockefeller's election to the executive committee of the Central Is, therefore, accepted as an indication that the union of the two systems will shortly follow. "Charles P. Clark retired from the presidency of the New Haven a short time ago. it was reported at the time this resignation as in deference to the wishes of tho Rockefeller-Morgan interests. John M. Hall, the first vice president of the New Haven, will. It Is said, be promoted to the presidency, and will be In thorough accord with the iollcy to be agreed on by Mr. Rockefeller and J. Plerpont Morgan on the one hand and the Vanderbllts on the other. "The next step in the deal started yesterday will, it Is believed by railway men, be the absorption of th Boston & Albany, the Uoston & Maine, the Fttchburg and the Maine Central. The amalgamation of these Interests under the auspices of the Vanderbllts will end the war between the New Kngland roads, which has continued for years. It may, of course, be some months before the consolidation of all the New Kngland roads Is accomplished under the Vanderbilt plan, but the union of the Rockefeller and Vanderbilt Interests yesterday is viewed as the first step towards Its accomplishment.-"It is understood that the absorption of the New Haven by the Vanderbllts, whlcii is expected to be oincially consummated within a few weeks, will not Interfere with the traffic arrangements between the New Haven and the Pennsylvania, which eraftloyes the New Haven facilities to expedite ts New Kngland business. "The addition of 13.0UO,000 to ihe capital stock of the New York Central system was voted unanimously or. the recommen dation of W. K. Vanderbilt. Pre.4.deiU. Calloway said. In a report to thi executive committee, that the earnings of the read during the present year ouil have been greatly increased if It were ncr fcr the scarcity of rolling stock of ihe road, wh:ch, he declared, was entirely Inadequate to meet the demands. "A few months' ago the company contracted for freight cars to cost S3.000,CO. W. K. Vanderbilt is said to have advanced the money for the new equipment, much of which Is now In use. Under the terms of the advance he was to be paid at the rate of 5O).0X a year. Rut the new equipment did not meet the demands, and It was decided to increase the capital stock 15,0u0.000. Of this. f;.oc?.(00 is to fce turned over to Mr. Vanderbilt. end $10,000,000 used for the purchase of additional rolling stock. The Central stockholders will save about $300,000 a year In Interest on the new stock. The interest on the $10,000.0!;O to be used for the purchase of new equipment, computed at 4 per cent., will be JiiX).0CO. which. In the opinion of Vanderbilt officials will be earned by the increased facilities.' A stockholders' meeting to ratify the Increase will be called In a few days. "The report of the Central system for the quarter ending Sept. 30 shows that the balance available last year for the parallel quarter was 1.52 per cent. This year it Is stated to be 2.56 per cent. If the increase is sustained the amount available for dividends will be in excess of 10 per cent, a year. The increase in mileage over the same quarter last year is given as 243 miles, making a total of 2.82S.04. The earnings from operations during the quarter were J14.1S4.31S. The net income was J2.643.737, and the amount available for dividends $2,558.370." , RATIFIED BY UNIVERSALISTS. Chicago Platform of Principle Adopted by a Large Majority. BOSTON", Mass., Oct. 23. The , biennial convention of the Unlversallst Church waa opened here to-day after nearly a week of preliminary meetings. Charles I. Hutchinson of Chicago presided, and the preliminary devotional service was conducted by the Rev. Joseph Crocker Snow of Haverhill. The first business taken up was introduced by a motion to ratify a new platform of principles by the acceptance of which the Unlversallst body gives up forever the Winchester confession of faith adopted by it in 1S03. The new declaration Is the result of a conference of Boston Unlversallst ministers and was drawn up by the chairman of that committee. Rev. George T. Knight, of Tuft's College. It was adopted by the Unlversallst body at its last biennial convention In Chicago, but under the by-laws had to lie over two years for ratification. Rev. Henry B. Metcalf, of Pawtucket, R. I., moVed its ratification. The Chicago declaration is as follows: The essential principles of the Unlversallst faith are the universal fatherhood of God: the spiritual authority an J leadership of His son, Jesus Christ, the trustworthiness of the Bible as containing a revelation from God; a certainty of retribution for sin: the final peace and harmony of all souls with God. The ratification was voted: 132 in favor: 10 adverse. The most important feature of the proceedings aside from the adoption of the new articles of faith was the admission of a delegation headed by Rev. Everett Hale, of the Unitarian general body, for conference on the subject of a union of the two denominations. Dr. Hale addressed the convention. He said the leading feature of Unitailan life, as Dr. Lyman Abott described it to the speaker, was the forward took, combined with the- determination to keep fast our historical relation to the leader of Christianity. At the evening session Governor Wolcott spoke of the Unlversallst creed as he understood it. and gave the delegates a cordial welcome to the State. - Dr. Lymann Abbott, of Brooklyn, followed, speaking for the Congregatlonallsts. He declared himself with the Unlversallsts in that he did not believe in the doctrine of eternal punishment. He differed with his hearers by daring to believe that a universe In which there is n hell and heaven is better than a universe where there is neither. He said that the must awful and splendid fact in human life is that God puts the reins Into one's own hands to do as he pleases. 1. E. MItonary Council. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23.

M'CABE DEAD catholic priest who aidkd john doyle o'reilly to escape. Changed Clothe with the Irish Toet While the Lutter Warn a Political Trlnoner in Australia. WASECA. Minn.. Oct. 23. Rev. P. M. McCabe, the well-known Roman Catholic clergyman, died Saturday evening of Brighfs disease at St. Mary's, a small mission near here. His death recalls an exploit in which he was a conspicuous actor. It was Father McCabe who was instrumental in liberating the political prisoner, John Boyle O'Reilly, who afterwards became the noted American poet. O'Reilly was detected propagating Fenianlsm in England. He was arrested and sentenced to penal servitude. It happened that Father McCabe was stationed at the Australian prison as chaplain. To him O'Reilly confided his intention of making his escape. The priest offered to hide him. On a dark night in 1SC3 the two met by appointment and the priest and the prisoner exchanged clothes. In this disgulie O'Reilly departed in an open boat without food or drink. After three days of terrible exposure to the perils of the sea O'Reilly was picked up by an American whaler and carried to Liverpool. Thence he made his way quietly to the United States. The priest reported to the prison officials that he had been waylaid by the convict who compelled him to make the exchange of clothing. When the truth leaked out later on Father McCabe was obliged to make a hasty departure from Australia. He came to this country and applied to Risop Ireland for a charge In this diocese eighteen years ago. He has remained In Minnesota ever since. George II. Chadwlck. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.

As the result of a decision made in the New York Court of Appeals, David R. Paige, formerly congressman from this district, and now living in New York, and his brother. City Commissioner Albert T. Paige, of this city, will become rich once more. The troubles of David R. Paige, about ten years ago, are historical. The Paiges and Gen. D. M. Carey, of Cleveland, composed the firm of Paige, Carey & Co., which had contracts for six miles of the Croton aqueduct, in New York city. When tho work was concluded claims for about $7,000,000 for extras were thrown out. and payment was refused. Of this amount, Paige, Carey & Co. held nearly $2,000,000. On top of this came the explosion regarding over $700,000 worth of paper given by Dr. Paige, and bearing the indorsement of Millionaire John Huntington, of Cleveland. Huntington was on his death bed in Europe and died before he could testify whether the notes were genuine. After his death his executors refused to honor the notes, claiming that the indorsees were forgeries. Paige tied to South America. In 1SJ5 he returned and compromised the Huntington notes for 20 per cent, in cash and 30 per cent, in new notes, secured by the claims held against the city of New York. He then devoted all his energies to securing a decision In the courts in regard to the aqueduct work. A test case finally was pushed through, and the decision Is now from the court of last resort. After all the obligations of the Paiges are paid a comfortable fortune will be left for each, and for the widow of Carey, who was killed by a fall, several years ago. A MARK-UP IN WHISKY.

What theCorreapondenta Say About the Fight at Elnndslangte. LONDON, Oct. 21. Interesting and graphO ic accounts are supplied by the war correspondents of the battle of Elandslaagte, from which extracts are given below. The Dally Mail publishes the following description of the battle from G. W. Steevens, filed at Ladysmlth: . "The battle was a brilliant, complete srucce?s. The Boers numbered from 1,200 to 2,000 and probably had about 100 killed and 150 wounded. The fight itself was, like a practical Illustration of handbook tactics, each arm reported doing -its proper work to perfection. The Gordon Highlanders in their attack advanced in magnificent order. They were Immediately saluted with a heavy fire which told from the first. Their major fell with a bullet In his leg, but as he lay where he fell, he lit a pipe and xmoked placidly, while the advance continued. As man after man dropped, supports were rushed into the tiring line, our men darting from cover to cover, splendidly led and ever advancing. Yet, as ridge after ridge was won, the Highlanders still found a new ridge confronting them and thus they fought their bleeding way until the final ridge was neared, with nearly every officer down. Then, slamming every available man into the firing line. Manchesters, Devons and Light Horse all mixed, with bugles cha?iting the advance, bagpipes shrieking and the battle a confuted surge, our men swept yelling forward, but the position was won. Meanwhile squadrons of lancers and dragoons leaped round the Boer left flank, catching the enemy as they retired in disorder, goring and stamping them to pieces." The Daily Telegraph's correspondent aiys: "General French commenced the action at 6:3 a. m. The eremy had only just finished coffee when they were surprli and neary all our prisoners were caught In the vicinity of the captured train. The mining and railway ofheial3 escipcd the enemy and came in to us. to the number of thirty-seven whites, besides many natives and coolies. Both of the latter classes had been robbed and compelled to work by the Boers, but the whites were treated fairly well, though they were made to take an oath to remain neutral, etc. A Boer fvreant, a native of Cape Colony, hid his rifle and came in with twerty of his late' captives. "The Manchester Regiment, with the characteristic hardihood of Britl5h Infantry, all marched straight bnck at the enemy, too often careless of taking cover, deppite the rattling, hissing and s pitting of the Mauser bullets. Tommy Atkins says In ef fect: " 'What! Hide from Yokels? Let 'em shoot!' ' "Discipline has Its drawback as well as Its advantages, and our soldiers, who have learned the Boer tactics, are now capable of readjusting the mistakes of the past. "The panorama was heightened and colored by the red hue of gun flashes, and shells tore along, roaring through the air like express trains in a tunnel, bursting noisily and spouting flame, lead ana steel. which hissed like hoi Iron dropped into

water. The places of explosion were marked by clods of earth and a nimbus of white smoke. "The enemy bobbed about over the rocks like jricks-ln-the-box, firing heavily at us and with fair accuracy, for the magazine Mauser rifle is a terrible weapon, although It inflicts clean wounds. Many of them used explosive bullets. The Boer shells were mostly iercuf slon, and threw up volcanoes of mud and stones about our gun crews. It should be noted that, especially upon rocky ground, percuss!6n shells- give better results than high-bursting shrapnel. "Colonel Scott-Chlsholm, of the Imperial Light Horse, courted disaster by waving his scarf to give encouragement to his men, who really needed none. Suddenly somebody showed a white flag, and Colonel Hamilton tried to stop the fighting, but a party of Boers, ensconced on a conical hill and caring nothing about their comrades, took advantage of the lull to deliver a heavy fire. The Gordon Highlanders and the Manchesters were rendered more savage than ever by this, and redoubled their energy, for the Boers in the hollows were delivering a flanking fire. "Our Tommies got wonderful quantities of loot from silk hats and frock coats to beaded Kaffir loin cloths. It was a sight to-day to see them loaded with their booty. "Although we gave the prisoners the best seas around the camp-fires many of the poor wounded had to He out on the bare hillsides, where they spent a terrible night, crying: 'For God's sake give us water. Get a doctor for us. Out here are British and Boers.' One man fired round after round from his rifle to attract attention to his whereabouts, for the field of battle covered miles. The Boers said the kilts of the Gordon Highlanders made them cons-plcuous targets." The correspondent of the Daily News says: "The approaching fall of darkness was a great factor' in the last phases of the fight and made the capture of the position at once absolutely imperative. By this time the crack of rifles and the rattle of Maxims had become absolutely furious. Our men understood the necessity well enough. Nothing loath, they exposed themselves gallantly in their resolution to drive the Boers from their last stand. Officers, sergeants and men fell in the lines, but nothing checked the fierce onset. Conspicuous among the Gordon Highlanders and In the fighting line throughout was Lord Ava, attached specially to the brigadier's staff. "The final rush was a sight to see. With; leveled bayonets, cheering as they went,'

our men sprang over the bowlders that were strewn at their feet. The Boers, recoiling, fired wildly and then dashed down the rugged steep to escape the annihilation threatening them. Some, desperately determined on killing, returned to the Nek, in the rear of which the Highlanders crouched behind some bowlders. These men fired on ambulance men at work among the wounded. I and others there can certify from, our own experience to this dastardly act.' GALLANTRY OX BOTH SIDES. Drltons, Hovrever, Showed Their Superiority In a Pitched Battle, LONDON, Oct. 23. Fuller accounts of Saturday's battle at Elandslaagte emphasizes the splendid gallantry exhibited on both sides and the superiority of the British In a pitched battle, although the Boers fought with the greatest tenacity to the last, only yielding when further fighting was hopeless. An armored train, with the men of the Manchester Regiment, appeared on the left at -Ladysmlth at daybreak on Saturday in support of the Johannesburg Imperial Light Horse and the Natal field ar tillery, with the object of reopening com munication "with Elandslaagte. The artillery took up a position above the town and shelled the railway station, from which the Boers ran out, and the British mounted infantry, entering; the place, released the English prisoners. The Boers, numbering some 1,000 men, with three guns, occupied a commanding position. ' They poured such a well-directed fire on the British and their scouts were so active that the British force steadily retired until reinforcements arrived, when the mounted infantry was sent to drive the Boer scouts from the ridge on the right. A large force of mixed cavalry in the meanwhile swept over the plain and up Ihe hill on the right. The Lancers met with a heavy fusllade when on the left a British battery opened fire with good effect. The British, infantry, who had debarked from the railway train in the interim, advanced steadily over the plain and up the rocky ridge previously cleared by the cavalry. The Boer artillery dropped shrapnel into the advancing columns, but the British finally scaled the hill, whence they overlooked the broad valley to three rocky hills forming the Boer's position, their camp being In the center. On the left center the Boers had a battery of three large guns. The smaller hills were also strongly held. On the Boer right was the station, In a valley on the British left. The latter's cavalry jvas on 'both flanks and a battery on the right was busy throwing shrapnel at the Boers' batteries. The British infantry formed for the attack in extended order behind the brow of a hill, the Devonshire left, with four companies of the Manchesters and some of the Gordons on the right. At about 5 p. m. the infantry advanced through the valley as steadily as on field day. Half way down the slope they met'5 a terrlflc infantry and artillery fire. The men fell rapidly and the wounded were carried to the rear. But, in spite of the steady work of the Boer guns and the sharpshooters concealed behind the rocks, the Increased fire of the advancing British infantry gradually gained the upper hand, and the Manchesters and tha Gordons, edging toward the right, gained the top of the ridge, thus outflanking the enemy's left. At 6 o'clock the bugles sounded the "charge" and the British swept ahead. The Boers fought to the last, only attempting to escape when further fighting was hopeless. In the meantime the Devonshires, pressing steadily up the left, were strongly opposed at the Boer camp and from the flanking hills, but they carried both at the charge with wild cheers and bugle blasts. By 7 o'clock the British had gained the position and "cease tire " was sounded. Three twelve-and-a-half-pounder Nordenfeldts were captured, with quantities of munitions. The Boer dead and wounded among the rocks, who were numerous, were attended to as far as possible in the dark. General French thanked the troops on the field, especially mentioning Col. Ian Hamilton's splendid handling of the Infantry. The British bivouacked on the captured position Saturday night. Some estimates place the Boer losses at 500 men, but this is probably exaggerated. Colonel Scott-Chlsholm, the highest British ottice killed, was formerly attached to the Nlr.: Lancers. He served with distinction In the Afghan war and organized the present Imperial Light Horse, a majority of whom are refugees from the Rand. The capture of General Viljoen is a severe blow to the burghers, and the death of General Kock and the capture of General Pretorius wi!l handicap the further movements of this column.

The Times has the following from Cape Town, dated Monday: "The censor's official, report says all was well at Klmberley Sunday." m REJOICING AT CAPE TOWS, Capture of Viljoen Iteeelred irtth Satisfaction Feeling: Among: Boers. CAPE TOWN. Oct. 23. The capture of General Viljoen is a cause of great satisfaction to the outlanders. He Is the author of the blasphemous and violent pamphlet virtually intended to incite the Dutch of the colony to rebellion, and it i9 sincerely hoped that he will be brought to trial and punished as he deserves. It Is difficult to gauge exactly the amount of feeling excited among the Dutch by the recent British victories. Their behavior, on the whole, is excellent, considering the great amount of sympathy they feel for the kinsmen in the Transvaal and Orange Free State. The Britishers receive the news of each success In Natal and of the grand stand at Mafeklng with the wildest enthusiasm, but the Dutch are si lent. Now. and then a few, who are more violent than the rest, express their sorrow openly, but the general feeling is perhaps one of relief at the thought that the Brit ish success will not compel them to face the possibility of giving active support to the enemy. The reports of the kind treatment accord ed to the Boer wounded meet with un stinted admiration, bringing into marked relief the magnanimity of Great Britain, a magnanimity which the Dutch admit they had not expected to be displayed toward the Boers. A difficult problem is looming, owing to the increased race feeling aroused by the war, but indications are frequent and substantial that the mists of acrimonious discussion are being dispersed by Great Britain's magnanimity and splendid tolerance, tending to make the Dutch In Cape Colony proud of their British citizenship. PIET JOUBEirrS REPORT. Belated Account of Last Friday's Fight Near Glencoe Camp. PBETORIA, Oct. 21 (delayed In transmis sion.) The Transvaal government received this morning the following dispatch from Commander General Piet Joubert: "Commandant Lucas Myer has had an engagement at Dundee. He made a plan of campaign with Commandant Erasmus by messenger. Erasmus, however, failed to appear. It is estimated that the British lost heavily. Our forces suffered, but owing to the mist it had been impossible to get all the details. It Is reported that ten of our force were killed and twenty-five wounded." GLENCOE CAMP. Oct. 23 (delayed in transmission), 12:20 p. m. The attack made by the Boer forces under General Lucas Myer on the British position Friday enabled the British forces to score a signal succes-s. The Boer column was driven pellmell over the plains, losing over three hundred killed and wounded. In addition the British captured several hundred horses and made many prisoners, who are being well cared for. The Boer hospital has been taken-under the wing of the British hospital corps, as the Boers had only a single doctor with a primitive staff, who was quite unable to cope with the wounded. RUMOR FROM PRETORIA. Kruffer Said to Taior Surrender Slaughter of Boern at Mafeklng;. LONDON, Oct. 23. A special dispatch from Cape Town, dated Sunday, says that advices received there from Pretoria report President Kruger as now being In favor of an unconditional surrender. It Is added that it is expected the Executive Council will meet on Monday or Tuesday to discuss the advisability of such a step. The report. It is stated here, must be accepted with reserve.

Three trains have been dispatched from Klerksdorp to fetch the wounded from Mafeklng. It is estimated there are seven hundred killed and wounded, and.it is stated at Pretoria that the British casualties are only eighteen. FIVE nUXDRED KILLED. Col. Baden-Powell Said to Have Slain Many Boers. LONDON, Oct. 24.

CAPE TOWN, Oct. 23. The Boer account of the British losses at Mafeklng Is evidently gross exaggeration, since Colonel Baden-Powell's official list shows no ohV cers killed.

Joe Choynekl, th well-known California boxer, knocked out Dick Moore, of St. Paul, to-night, in the arena of the St. Louis Athletic Club, In tho third round of what was to have been a twenty-round contest. Choynskl was In s splendid form, and after the first round simply played with the St. Paul boxer. Moore, too, was In good condition, but this availed him nothing against the superior science of the Californian. Choynskl had the advantage in height, reach and weight, but Moore was plucky and took a hard beating like a f tolc. In the first round Moore carried flght to Joe at every turn, and, forced him about the ring with rights and lefts on the body. Choynskl used a left jab, which Jarred Dick badly. In the second round Joe had his man stzed up. and after a rapid exchange sent Dick twice to tho floor with rights to the Jaw. Moore arose and made a vicious effort to retrieve his laurels, the round closing, with both men exchanging hard blows atl close quarters. The third round w;fs all In Choynski's favor, lie outpointed hia opponent at all stages, and put him down three times in succession with right-hand punches on the Jaw. Moore was game, though groggy, and managed to regain his feet twice within the count, but while essaying to do the trick a third time was counted out by the referee, Tim Hurst. As a curtain raiser Tommy Hogan, of New York, and Jack O'Keefe, of Memphis, went on for a fifteen-round bout. The latter was called on short notice to take tht place of a local man, and though untrained, made a very game flght. In the seventh round Hogan reached the vital pot. and O'Keefe went down and out. Kid McCoy was Introduced, and made a few remarks. TO MAHEll OX A FOUL. Declalon Over Ed Dunkhont In a Do at at Syracuse. SYRACUSD, N. Y., Oct. 23.

When Dunkhorst saw that he was bound to be; whipped ha deliberately violated this rule, and after repeated warnings the referee gave the decision to Maher. Dunkhorst never had a chance. He was completely outpointed by Maher, who gave him a terrlflc pummellng. Maher had little difficulty In reaching Dunkhorst's face and chin when he pleased, but could not put him out. The fighting was not very hot until the sixth round. , when Maher opened with a volley of swlngt and Jabs that would have put an end to th flght then and there had his opponent been a more vulnerable man than Dunkhorst. The latter could offer no resistance and began catching Maher's glove under his arm after every blow. He refused to stop when ordered to do to and lost the decision. A Draw In Twenty-Five Itonnda. NEW YORK. Oct. 23. At the Herculea Athletic Club, in Brooklyn, to-night, Marty McCue, of New York, and Joe Cain, of Brooklyn, fought a twenty-live round draw. Escaping From Herself. When a weak. pain-racked woman is suddenly and completely relieved of her misery it is like shaking off the clutchej of a sad, pursuing spirit. Sho escapes from her wretched, unhappy self and becomes a new self; literally another being. " My wife is up and walks about a mile every pleasant day; he feels like another peraon. writes II. Todd Huguley. Esq.. of Mount Tackon. Marion Co., Ind., in a letter to Dr. fc. V. Pierce of BuCalo. N. Y. When 1 first aaw your book referring to the cure of consumption I thought I would try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Favorite Prescription, aa the doctor had given her up. and so I thoufbt it could do no harm if it did no good. " when I try to describe the results I fail to d so in word. We shall never forget to thank God for giving us thU means of relief. I know if my wile had not taken Dr. Pierce'a medicines he would now have been in hrr grave. You can ask any one who U afflicted thus to write to me for more particulars." This only serves to show that what ordinary physicians of merely local and limited practice will often fail to accomplish, may become entirely possible to a thoroughly scientific ana radical treatment, based upon a life-long and world-wide experience with the severest and most obstinate forms of so-called incurable diseases.
