SIX BOOKS FOR THE SICK. What I Learned After 30 Years.

Our sole knowledge of the peo ple on other worlds and how far the people there differ from our inhabitants, can only be guessed by cotrpariaon with animal nature on this smell sphere of ours. More important to us is a knowledge of ourselves. "Know Thysfxp" was an old Greek thought. How to take care of one's own body is not sc "jle as some think; the human mechanist is a wonderful thing and requires waLching. One man who has done more to teach the American people how to care for their bodies than almost any other, is Dr. R. V Pierce, of Buffalo. N V tie Author of the "Common Sense Medk?.l Adviser." He says : It is not the quantity of the food eaten which produces strength and health (for some people can keep strong on a very meagre diet), but it is how much food is absorbed and assimilated by the blood and carried to nourish every organ of the body: It is, therefore, vitally necessary for the body that the stomach be in a healthy state. If disease of the stomach, or what is called "stomach trouble," prevents proper nutrition then the heart, liver, lung, and kidneys do not get proper food they are not fed on rich red blood, and in consequence, begin to show signs of distress. Outwardly these signs may be pimples and eruptions on skin, pale face, sleepless nights, tired, languid feelings, or, by reason of the nerves not being fed on pure blood, they become starved, and we receive a trarning in the pain we call neuralgia Rheumatism, too. is a blood disease. After years of practice and stud Dr. Pierce found that an Alterative Extract, which he named "Dt Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery , made from the extracts of several plants, invariably produced a tonic effect upon the system. It helped the process of absorption of the healthy elements in the food and increased the red corpuscles of the blood, as well as eliminated the poisons from the system. Business is business. No time for beadsches. Constipation causes them. Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure them by curing the cause. Laxativ nd mild.

Many so-called pile remedies will afford the user slight temporary relief, and the majority of sufferers do not expect more than this. Women especially, aft-r having tried every preparation recommended for the cure of piles, have come to the conclusion that thre is no cure except by an operation. This is rightfully viewed with dread, because of the shock to the delicate nervous system of MMR, and many of those afflicted have resigned themselves to the situation with never a thought that there is any help in suht fr them. We Invite the attention of all such to the experience of the lady whose address is given below: "I fee! it my duty to recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering ten years with a most distressing form of piles I am entirely cured, thanks to this remedy. Anyone doubting this can write to Margaret Brady. 15 Whitman street. Cleveland, O." Ten months later she writes: "I am glad to say that 1 am still perfectly free from pilcM. and have not lü" the slightest trouble since I flrSt used your remedy. I am well-known in Cleveland and have advertised Pyramid Pile 'ure extensively here. I take pleasure in doing so as it saved me from an operation, which I always dreaded, and you are assured the remedy can have no rtrmer advocate than I.' Testimony like this should convince the lost skeptical, that Pyramid Pile Cure not only eures, but cures to stay cured. It is in the form of a suppository; can be applied tn the privacy of the home, directly to the ports affected, and does its work MUickly and painlessly. Druggists sell this famous remedy for fifty cents a package, and we urge all Ufferers to li .v , ; i' r. tu, now and give it o trial to-night. Accept no substitutes. Write Pyramid lrug Company, Marshall. Iftch., for th"ir little hook on the cause and cure of piles, which is sent free for the asking.

TIPPECANOE Nominations Made Only After Many Ball ts Indorsements of the Resolutions. OTHER STATE POLITICS Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind.. March o.-Republie-ans of Tippecanoe county chose candidates this afternoon in the most exciting county convention ever held in Lafayette. For three offices, those of representative, county treasurer and county surveyor, the fight was close and determined and the successful ones were selected after many ballots. Thomas M. Andrew, of West Iafayette. was nominated for representative, defeating Clarence F. Jamison on the second ballot by a vote of 120 to 100, but as the total number of votes cast exceeded the number of delegates a third ballot was called for. This time Mr. Andrew received 123 and Jamison 99. Mr. Jamison moved to make the nomination unanimous and won loud applause by promising to help the successful nominee roll the largest plurality ever known in Tippecanoe county. There was a three-cornered tight for county treasurer. After three ballots were taken the crowd present to watch the proceedings became so enthusiastic in cheering for their respective favorites that they surged onto the floor and an attempt was made to clear it. This was accomplished after a great deal of trouble. J. Lyna Van Natta finally won after Darius Frazier had withdrawn amid wild cheering. Van Natta received 128 to 90 for J. W. Milligsn. John B. Ray was nominated for herfft by acclamation and the battle for the county surveyorshlp followed. After two ballots G. H. Stevenson was chosen over the other candidate. The convention closed with the nomination of county commissioners. Theodore McCabe was chosen after a long struggle and W. C. Davisson was elected by acclamation. The crowd in attendance was enthusiastic in the extreme and the demonstrations were prophetic of the interest Republicans of Tippecanoe will enter into the election. Secretary of State Daniel E. Storms and Deputy Frank L Grubbs were present, as was also J. Frank Hauly and other distinguished political leaders. The resolutions indorse Roosevelt for nomination and election, indorse Fairbanks for Vice President, pledge support to Beveridge for re-election, as also to Congressman Crumpaeker, commend the administrations of Roosevelt and Durbin and congratulate the people of State and Nation on the ahlding prosperity following the inauguration of Republican policies.

COUNTY TICKETS TO BE MADE IN ALLEN Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE. Ind.. Mrch 5. The Democratic county committee met this afternoon and decided to nominate a candidate for county treasurer, under the opinion of Mr. Harris that the act of 1903, postponing such election for two years, is invalid. This will lead the Republicans to renominate Treasurer Funk. The Democrats decided to hold their convention on the percentage plan, each voter at the primary signifying his choice for the various county offices and the percenage each candidate for each office receives of the vote cast at the primaries must be cast for him in the convention. This takes the power out of the delegata to shift his vote. The bad nominations and the defeat which followed, two years ago, led to the change.

Rok I Book : Book 3 Book 4 Book 5 Book 6

No monev is wanted. Simply select the book you need. It is my experience as a specialist of 30 years. In the book I tell how at last I found a way to reach difficult, deep-seated diseases. Thirty y. ars of earnest, ardent toil in hospitals and at bed sides made it possible for me to write these books. The book tells how I perfected my prescription Dr. Shoop's Restorative. How by scientific experiment I traced out the causes that bring on chronic diseases. I found invariably that where there was a weakness, the inside nerves wer weak. Where there was a lack of vitality, the vital nerves lacked power. Where weak organs were found. 1 always found weak nerves. Not the nerves commonly thought of. but the vital organ' nerves. The inside the invisible nerves. This was a revelation. Then my real success began. Then I combined ingredients that would strengthen, that would vitalize, these nerves. That prescription I called a restorative. It is known the world over as Dr. Shoop's Restorative. After that I did not fail to cure one rase in each hundred. In the extremely difficult cases, my failures for five years were one in each forty treated. I found cancer incurable. Cancer is for surgery, not medicine. Then how to get this prescription to sick ones everywhere was my thought. I must announce it in the public press. But. thought I. will they realize the real truth of my discovery, the real power of Dr. Shoop's Restorative? Then a way came to me like an inspiration. "I will offer it to the sick on trial. Then they will know I am sincere that my prescription is unusual."' I wrote a reliable druggist in each city and village In America. They agreed to co-operate with me. Now by any sick on. Dr. Shoop's Restorative can be taken at my risk. For a full month I will let you use it entirely at my risk. Send no money. Just write me for the book you need. When I send it I will tell you of a druggist near by who will permit the month's trial. I'se the Restorative ä month. Then decide. If you say SO the druggist. "It did not help me. that will relieve you of any expense whatever. He will bill the cost to me This is my way of clearing your mind of all doubt as to what Dr. Shoop's Restorative can do. No matter how prejudiced, you cannot dispute this absolute security I offer. You cannot resist an offer like this if you are at all sick. If you have a weakness, write me. If you can't do things like you used to do them, tell me about It, Write in confidence. As a physician I will tell you a way to help. Get my book now to-day. Address Dr. Shoop. box 5790. Racine. Wis. Mild cases, not chronic, are often cured by one or two bottles. At druggists.

LIQUOR REMONSTRANCES COT OfTIl REVENUE Town of Cayuga Forced to Take Drastic Measures of Economy to Round Out the Year. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEWPORT. Ind., March 5.-The temperance people of Cayuga have filed a remonstrance against Claytpn Allee, who had applied for a license to sell liquor at that place. They claim to have a majority of twenty-four. The saloon men filed eightyseven withdrawals the evening previous, but the remonstrators got seventeen of them to sign the remonstrance again. At the meeting of the Cayuga town board this week the salary of Marshal Wooster was reduced to one dollar per month, the members of the board agreed to serve the remainedr of their time without pay and the street lamps were ordered taken down and stored in the town building. This streak of economy and retrenchment is necessary because no corporation tax was levied last fall and the eight saloons being remonstrated out of business left the commissioners without the 11,200 previously secured from that source.
