Weil, well, it does beal time the num
ber of sports that come out from town to
augle for the speckled trout, and the
ucor fellows don't seem to know the first
thine about the fish and game law, for
they seem as pleased to basket a trout

a lawful fry. Their aim seems either to
annihilate the mountain trout entirely
or simply to catch anything to count up
to have a large number to boast of when
they get back to town.

fies the blood,
and removes
ijf the corrupt ac-
cumuiaiions
which cause
disease. When
the blood is cleansed, pimples, tetter,
salt-rheum, boils, sores, and other results
of impure blood, are perfectly and per
manently cured.
For three years I suffered with that dreaded
disease eciema," writes Mrs. J. Koepp, of Her
man, Oregon. "I was told to try Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, which I did, and af
ter I had taken fourteen bottles I was perma
nently cured. It has been a year since I stopped
taking your medicine and it has never appeared
since. I think your medicine a wonderful cure
and hope others sufferinqr as I did, will take it
and be relieved of their suffering."
Some of the most remarkable cures
effected by "Golden Medical Discovery,"
have been of scrofulous diseases.
"I will forever thank you for advising me to
take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,"
writes mrs. jas. Murpny. ot ronaa, Pocahontas
Co., Iowa. "It has cured me of chronic scrofula
of twelve years' standing. I had dnctored for
the trouble until I was completely discouraged.
I also had chronic diarrhea for twelve years. I
am in good health now bttler than I ever was
in my life, owing to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, I took several bottles of the ' Discov
ery ' before I stopped."
Accept no substitute for "Golden Med

as good" for diseases of the stomach,
