What Do They Cruet The above question Is often asked concerning Dr. Pierce’s two leading medicines, "Golden Medical Discovery” and "Favorite Prescription.” • The answer is that "Golden Medical Discovery ” la a most potent alterative or blood-punQer, and tonic or invigorator and acts especially favorably in a curative way upon all the mucous lining surfaces, as, of the nasal, passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and a large peroent. of catarrhal cates whether 4he disease affects the nasal piMm, the fhaont, larynx, bronchla,;stomachN/aa eattrhhal dyspepsia), Is a powerful yel gently acting In v igors ting tonic and nervine. For weak wornout, over-worked women—no matter what has caused the broak-down, "Favorite Prescription "will be fouqd most effcvtivn In building np the strength, regulatingthe womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing atxxit a healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system. A book of particulars wraps each bottle giving the formula*of both medicines and quoting what scores of emincut medical authors, whoso works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of pract ice as guides in prescribing, say of each ingredient entering Into these medicines. The words of praise bestowed on the several Ingredients entering Into Doctor Pierce’s medicines by such writers should have more weight than an* amount of non - professional testimonials, because such men are writing for the guidance of their medical brethren and know whereof they speak. Doth medicines are non-alcoholic, nonsecret, and contain no harmful babltformlng drugs’, being composed of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American medicinal forest plants. They are both sold by dealers in mediclife. You can’t afford to accept as a substitute for one of these medicines of known any secret nostrum.

Jesse A. Snyder returned last evening from Indianapolis where he was operated on for appendicitis.

Only about six months ago Jeate weighed 198 pounds and now he Weighs only 158, and is correspondingly reduced in health. The' specialist that operated on him found a very bad cas3 of the disease and had the operation been much longer delayed it would probably have cost his life. Jc ’~ T7 u rT- :~rv 1 - - -y-- -• - —=r-~ - Mr. James Cooper died on Wednesday morning at his home on Pearl street, at the age of 82, after a long and gradual decline.

Many are reporting that these pears are ripening much quicker this year than they usually dp, and that they are not going to keep nearly so long as they have during previous years.
