QUAY LOSING VOTES
Blundering Tactics of His Sup
porters. THE CASE PRACTICALLY SHELVED
Strons Fight Will Be Mode In tbe
Home Asalnst the Tariff ProTlalou
In Puerto Rlcan. BUI.
WASHINGTON. April 3. The' Quayltes
In the Senate woke up to a fact- which
had escaped them up to the present time
thattho unanimous consent agreement
entered Into some weeks ago that tbe
Quay case should be taken up today and
pressed to a vote really meant the In
definite postponement of the case until all
other business was out of the way. which
-would give the Senate an opportunity to
adjourn sine die before a vote could be
had on the Quay case. Of course. It was
a blundering agreement for the Quay
men to .-make. Had they a majority ot
the Senate In favor of considering the
case, they need not have allowed the ap
propriation bills.and the Philippine bill to
come in ahead, but the facts are that
while It is well understood If the Quay
.case comes to an actual vote there is
probably a majority for seating him, there
are, at the same time, a large number of
Republicans who desire to avoid a vote,
and they will use every parliamentary
expedient and every bill of importance to
prevent final action. It is true that Sen
ator Hoar, who was trying to do some
thing for" the Quay case, was "buncoed"
when he accepted the unanimous agree
ment, but it is not the less true that un
der it the Quay case can be shunted any
time a bill of Importance is being consid
ered. By their opposition to the Philippine bill
today the Quayltes lost some votes on tbe
Republican side. Lodge, who wanted to
get his Philippine bill up, is known to
have favored the seating of Quay when
the" vote waa reached. He has probably
been made an opponent by the tactics of
Wolcott, Chandler, Penrose .and others,
who intend to force consideration of the
Quay case. Other Republican Senators
who will, of necessity, have to vote for
Quay if a vote, is ever reached, will now
prepare to push in appropriation bills and
other legislation to prevent such a vote
The determination -to put over tho Quay
case will, no doubt, put oft the Clark case
as well, as the Quay men will never allow
any other election case to be considered
until action is had upon this.
Home -Will Attack Tariff Bill.
The Puerto Rlcan protectionists In the
Senate arejiow sorry they did not force
through the House bill as it came ov.
In order to avoid any danger that may
be in store for tbe amended bill when it
reaches the "House, where it originated.
Republicans who opposed a tariff In the
House will make every effort to gather in
a few extra votes so- as to strike out the
tariff provision. The probabilities are
that the bill, having reached this stage,
cannot be amended so as to affect the
tariff en Puerto Rlcan goods. The control
of the House being In the hands of pro
tectionists, they will no doubt manipulate
so as to prevent any such consummation
as the rfee-traders are trying to bring
about.
There was Intense interest In the vote
on Puerto .Rico, and both tbe Oregon and
Washington members of the House were
among the 150 of that body that watched
the proceedings. The Oregon Senators di
vided. Senator Simon voting as he de
clared 'his Intention to do, for free trade
with Puerto Rico.
Tonirue Will Work for Anderson.
Representative Tongue has taken up the
case of Anderson, the Oregon man in
charge of the Philippine schools, and will
Insist upon his retention unless his re
moval be brought about for good and
sufficient cause.' He will vigorously prp
test against his being removed to make
way for such an antt-expanslonlst as At.
klnson, under any circumstances.
Bryan an Impossibility.
After sizing up the situation generally;
the verdict of the Eastern press, that
portion generally considered conservative
in Its estimate of political situations, is
that Bryan is an impossibility. After
scanning the Lincoln platform, recently
adopted by the Nebraska Democracy,
which was approved, if not prepared, by
Bryan, the thinking public has come
to the conclusion that, notwithstanding
the faults of the McIClnley administra
tion. Puerto Rlcan tariff and all. tho De
mocracy Is bent upon self-destruction and
that In Its- selection of Bryan for its
candidate It Is going to inevitable defeat.
Of course, this is Eastern sentiment, and
the Eastern press generally would be very
glad to see somo other man than Bryan
selected for the place. Tet these state
ments come from some papers that care
very little about Bryan, but state the
case plainly as they cee It.
Improilnc Penrl. Harbor.
From present indications. It would seem
that active operations will be begun on
the new naval station and dry-dock to be
constructed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
some time in the coming summer. v The
special board appointed by the Secretary
of the Navy to determine upon a location
for the station and dock is soon to report,
and if its recommendations aro approved
and the necessary appropriation can be
secured, there is no reason why work
should not begin at once. The Department
la ready to take up the work and anxious
to push It to a speedy conclusion. In order
to make such a dock available. It will bo
oecesbary to expend tlOO.OW for dredging
nn adequate channel over the outer reef,
so as to accommodate the heavier draft
vessels.
Unfortunately the land which was ceded
to the United States several years ago for
a coaling station at Pearl Harbor, and for
which an appropriation of 1200.000 was
made, has reverted into the hands of pri
vate owners, and the Government will
now be obliged to purchase a site for its
naval station on that harbor. "While It
will require fully $2,000,000. if not more
properly to equip such a station, no such
amount will be asked for at this time, but
only a sufficient sum to begin the work. In
addition to the drydock. It will be neces
sary to erect and equip shops and ma
chinery for repairing vessels. The great
advantage possessed by Pearl Harbor Is
its location, which is such that it can
easily be defended In time of war.
ANOTHER CANAL COMPANY.
Incorporated Under the Lam of Xe-w
Jersey.
TRENTON. N. J.. April 1 The Inter
oceanic Canal Company was Incorporated
today with an authorized capital of $100,
O00.W0 to construct, own and operate a

PEARL HARBOR.
Jiaval Authorities Want It Improved
at Once.
NEW YORK. .April"". A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The Naval authorities want Pearl Har
bor, which they regard as the most im
portant post of the United States in the
Pacific, made available for Naval pur
poses without further dday, and on appeal
will be made to Congress in a few days
to authorize the necessary Improvements.
The board which has been studying the
plans for the harbor has completed its
work, and recommends the purchase of
certain lands inside the harbor for Naval
repair, dockyard and storehouse, as well
as sites for the erection of defensive
works. They favor the immediate expen
diture of $500,000, which will make the
harbor accessible and provide all the land
required for further Improvements.
Pearl Harbor is the only harbor worthy
of the name In the Hawaiian group, the
other landing places, tndudlng that at
Honolulu. being utterly Indefensible
against an enemy. For military purposes
the Hawaiian group Is regarded as a
menace to the United States In time of
war until Pearl Harbor can be entered
and used as a rendezvous for war vessels.
THE DOUBLE TURRETS.
Xnvnl Officers Recommend Farther
Trials.
NEW YORK. April X Rear-Admlra!
O'Nell, Chief of Ordnance, has given a
statement to the Washington correspond
ent of the Herald In regard to the recent
performance of the battle-ship Kearsarge.
"I did not suppose for l moment." ha
said, ".that the turret structure of the
vessel would prove deficient In any respect,
as both have been carefully worked out by
the Bureau of Construction and Review,
as have also tbe various mechanical diffi
culties which tbe scheme presented. It will
be necessary, however, to determine what
will be the result of rapid and prolonged
firing, and other tests under varying con
dltlons of weather at sea are desirable."
Rear-Admlra! Hlchbom, Chief Naval
Constructor, agrees with Admiral O'Nell
that further tests of the superimposed tur.
rets are desirable. He says:
"Tho Board of Inspection and Survey
will supervise the trial of the ship tomor
row, but the trial will be merely for the
purpose of ascertaining if she Is complete
In all respects and in accordance with the
provisions of tho contract and "specifica
tions under which she was built. One ot
the disadvantages of the system, it seems
to me. arises from the Inability to train
the guns on different portions of tho ship
at the same time.
"The efficiency ot the guns installed In
superimposed turrets is less than It they
wero mounted in separate turrets. If the
13-Inch turret were disabled, the eight-Inch
turret would also be thrown out of action.
and, under" rapid-fire conditions, the heat
and gases In the superimposed turret
would become Insufferable."
THE Sl'CALLA PROMOTION".
Precedent Established May Advance
Schley- and Sampson.
NEW YORK. April 1 A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Acting Secretary Allen has asked the
Attorney-General to furnish the Navy
Department with a copy of his opinion In
the case of Captain B. H. McCalla, in
which the Attorney-General decided that
McCalla had been advanced and promoted
.by the action of the Senate In confirming
ine nomination oi iieuienani-ommanaer
Pillsbury. "vice McCalla, advanced and
promoted."
There have been reports that precedents
thus established would result In the ad
vancement of Rear-Admiral Schley above
Rear-Admiral Sampson. It Is the opinion
of pffleore who have studied the decision
that if any promotions occur as a result
of the McCalla opinion, both Sampson and
Schley wiK be advanced. Captain J. F.
HIgglnson was twice nominated for pro
motion, tho nomination which was con
firmed being "vice Schley, advanced and
promoted." Commodore Schley's nomina
tion was thus worded:
"Commodore WInfleld Scott Schley to
be advanced elx numbers In rank, and to
be near-Admiral In the Navy from the
10th day of August, 1S3S, to take rank after
Rear-Admiral William T. Sampson, ad
vanced." Officers say that If Schley Is held to have
been advanced by the action of the Senate
in the HIgglnson case, then Rear-Admiral
Sampson's nomination was also confirmed,
as Schley's nomination was to rank after
Sampson "advanced."
SOUTH SEA EXPLORATION.
Professor A-rassIs "Will Return
to
Washington to Report.
SAN FRANCISc6TAprU &-Professor
A. Agasslz, who left here several months
ago in charge of a party of scientist on
board the -steamer Albatross; and has re
turned on the China, will proceed at once
to Washington to report regarding the re
sults of his voyage to the South Seas.
This scientific expedition went first to
the Pomotos, exploring the northern part
of thoso Islands, a region never before
examined by scientists. After refitting the
vessel at Tahiti, the remainder of the
Society Islands, as well as the Cook, Sav
age and the Islands of the Tonga Group
were explored. After refitting at Suva,
the Ellice. Gilbert and Marshall Islands
were explored and the Island of Guam was
visited. .
All along her course 'the Albatross mado
soundings, those between here and the
Marquesas being the first ever made along
that route. About 100 miles southeast ot
Guam a depth of 13 fathoms, or nearly
5 miles, was found. Tho Albatross Is
still at Yokohama.
A Sln-r-rlnir Combination.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 3. The mana.
gers of the leading athletic clubs which
promote prizefighting in this city have
formed a combination to prevent ruinous
competition. They declare, however, that
they have not organized a slugging trust.
In view of the fact that ring contests are
to be prohibited in New York, they think
that many pugilists of reputation will
come to this coast. The main points in
augurated by the managers for self-protection
are: First, not to bid against each
other for fights; second, to reduce the size
cf purses, and. third, in case of a palpable
fake to declare the bout "no contest" and
donate the amount to some deserving
charity. Boxers, managers or seconds con
cerned In any fake will be blacklisted and
their names sent to every club In America.

WASHINGTON, April 1 The House to
day entered upon consideration of the
substitute tor tbe Senate Hawaiian terri
torial bill, under a special order, which
will bring the question to. a vote Thurs
day afternoon at 4 o'clock. The debate
was in committee of the whole and three
ot the six speeches were pertinent to His.
bill. Knox (Rep. Mass.), chairman of tfia
committee on territories, delivered a. care
fully prepared speech In advocacy of its
passage. Robinson" (Dem. Ind.) criticised
a section In the Mil which, he said, con
tinued in force labor contracts existing In
Hawaii, denouncing It as legalizing &
system of wage slavery.. Mondell (Rep.
Wyo.) spoke generally and support
ed the bllL Lane (Rep. Ia.), one
ot the Republicans who opposed
la.), one of -the Republicans who opposed
the Puerto Rlcan tariff bill, made a vigor
ous speech, reaffirming his position and
warning his Republican associates that
the country would not support an unfair
policy toward the Puerto Rlcans. Thomas
(Dem. N. C.). Williams (Dem. Miss.), and
Boutcll (Rep. I1L), discussed imperialism.
Cooper (Rep. Wis.), chairman ot the
committee on Insular affairs, asked unani
mous consent for the consideration ot a
bill authorizing the Secretary ot the
Treasury to designate depositories in
Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines.
Brewer (Dem. Ala.) objected.
A bill was passed to allow men who
served during the Spanish War In the
Philippine Insurrection, In the Army,
Navy or marine corps, who enter lands
under the homestead act, to deduct the
time of such service from the period re
quired to perfect title.
Under a special order made some time
ago, the House then went Into comml
tec of tbe whole td consider the bill for
Hawaiian civil government. Knox (Rep.
Wis.), who was In charge ot the meas
ure, made the opening speech In support
Of the bllL
Robinson devoted much of his time to
a denunciation of the contract labor sys
tem In the Hawaiian Islands, which he
characterized as practical slavery, and
which, bo said, the 10th section of the
pending bill continued In- foVce.
"It means,." said he, "that you '"would
crucify labor on the cross of landlordism
and money in Hawaii."
He charged the American commission
ers (Senators Cullom and Morgan, and
Representative Hltt) with having been
seduced and buncoed by President Dole
and Judge Freer, the Hawaiian commis
sioners. But It must remain for Congress,
he said, to determine whether money was
to bo placed above manhood and contract
slave labor above free, labor.
At S o'dock the House adjourned.
COEUR DALE.E IXVESTIGATIOjr.
Manoo-er of the Bunker Hill Mine on
the Witness Stand.
WASHINGTON, April 3. Frederick Bur.
bridge, manager of the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan mine, was the chief witness at
tho Coeur d'Alene Investigation today. It
was the mill of this company that was
blown -up In the uprising last April. Brigadier-General
Carlln was to have continued
his testimony on the insurrection in 1E3J,
but his official report of that occurrence
was accepted as sufficient, and he then
gave way to Burbrldge.
Mr. Burbrldge took charge of the mine
in 1KB. At that time the miners and la
borers wero paid $3 a day, as against
$3 50, the union scale. There were continual
threats to "clean out" the Bunker Hill
mine, but'the troops -brought there'durlng
the Coxey excitement had a calming effect.
After being closed for a time, the Bunker
Hill was started up as a stricrti- non-
t union mine. The union men had control.
however, of the aDDroaches to the Coeur
d'Alenes, and with arms frightened away
nonunion men and "scabs.'" The mine suc
ceeded, however, m manning Its plant. In
1S96, he said, dynamite was used against
tho mine, and did somo damage to the
mill. Tho mine was injured. Threats con
tinued, he said, up to the time of the
culmination ot the agitation last April.
The Miners Union ni Wnnlnw met Rnn-
day, April 2J. a week before the explosion.
ana -eni a aeiegauon to him, Burbrldge,
to oemana R so a day all around. After
fruitless conferences a strike was ordered-
The Bunker Hill employes were stopped on
the road by an armed mob. revolvers were
flourished, and the workmen were chased
inrougn ine streets, iater in the day an
armed mob took possession of the tram
way of the mine and held It for a time.
Mr. Burbrldge sajd ho received frequent
warnings that he would be killed and the
mine blown up.
Representative Sulzer asked for the
names of those" giving the warnings. Mr.
Burbrldge declined to give the names,
raying ltvwould Imperil the Uvea of those
who gave the warnings. The Idaho courts
had upheld him, he said, in this refusal
to divulge names. Sulzer protested, but
the committee, on a vote, permitted the
witness to proceed without disclosing
names.
Mr. Burbrldge told of the warning mes
sages received by hhn of the arming ot
S00 men, the putting on of masks and the
details of the march on the mill.
"Where aro these messages?" asked
Sulzer.
"Blown up with the mill," replied the
witness.
Mr. Burbrldge said he took such precau
tions as were possible fdr the protection
ot tho mill, and then, believing that he
was an object of special attack, he left
the mill and did not o the explosion.
The witness said the presence of the mili
tary, was essential to the maintenance of
peace; 'the only objections to the military
tcame from those who- wished to creak tho
law.
Crostwalte, bf. counsel for the State ot
Idaho, directed the examination, and wdj
followed by Attorney Robertson In cross
examination. This brought out 'that the
company discharged men when It was
learned they belonged to a union. The wit
ness said there was such a conflict be-'
tween union and nonunion men-that the
company took Its side with tho nonunion
men. declining to employ members of the
'union.
Representative Stevens asked if this was
not a violation ot the law of Idaho, which
provides that there shall be no discrimina
tion against members of an organization.
The witness said he stated only the policy
and facts In the cose, not the law. He
conceded that the nonemployment ot union
men might have embittered them.
THE CLARK CASE.
Counsel for tbe Memorialists Benin
Their Ar-rnment.
WASHINGTON. April 3. Argument In
the case .of Senator Clark, ot Montana;
was begun by counsel for the memorialists
today before, tbe Senate committee on
privileges and elections.
Arthur A, Blerney, counsel for the me
morialists, was the first speaker.. He
began by laying down the conclusions
ot law upon which the memorialists rest
their1 case, but said no effort would be
made to make much of these, because
they .considered their case was too strong
to rest upon any mere technicality. The
facts 'were strong. Blerney contended that
Clark had become a candidate, as early
as August, 1SS8, and determined to go to
the Senate regardless of ail consideration
of virtue and morality. While claiming
the necessity of wresting control -of state
affairs from Daly. Clark, when pn the
witness stand, had been entirely .unable to
state any case in which power had been
exercised in opposition to the best inter
ests ot the state.
Blerney commented at length on Clark's
testimony, contending that tbe Senator
had presented himself -to a most unenvi
able position. Blerney had not concluded
when the committee at 1 o'clock adjourned
until Thursday. .
TO FIGHT THEj PLAGUE.
Secretary ot the Treasury Asia
for
as .Appropriation.
'NEW YORK. April 3. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The Secretary of the Treasury has sent
an urgent request to Congress to make
$500,000 Immediately available o enable the
Marine Hospital Service to fight tbe plague
and other diseases that may appear at
any moment. In tbe annual estimates,
submitted last December, $300,000 was
asked for this purpose, but it Is already
seen that this amount will be insufficient.
Burgeon-General Wyman, In his requi
sition on the Secretary for the money,
reports that on account of the continued
and Increasing danger from plague. It has
become necessary to "detail medical offi
cers of that' service for duty in the offices
ot the United States Consuls at the 'vari
ous ports of Europe from which emigrants
depart, and to prevent the Introduction of
yellow fever .from the fruit ports ot Cen
tral and South America. Medical officers
have been detailed to serve In the consular
otuces to eiuorce ine quarauunn tcsuw
tlons to bo observed at foreign ports.
Medical officers are also attached to the
American Consulates In. Yokohama, Kobo
and -Hong Kong.
Dr. Wyman further says that the plague
has recently been reported at San Fran
cisco. This state ot affairs has rendered
necessary the expenditure of greater sums
from the appropriation to fight epidemics
than were contemplated when the esti
mates were' submitted, .and It Is 'believed
that $300,000 may prove Insufficient to meet
all the emergencies likely to arise In the
coming fiscal year.

PARIS. April 3. Now that the expo
sition buildings are practically completed,
it is found that the tower of the Turkish
pavilion will-so obstruct the view of the

General of the Exposition.
Commissioner Peck has decided to dose
the National pavilion Sunday.
Although it Is less than a fortnight from
tho date of the opening of the Exposition,
the grounds are covered with fragments
of woodwork, stones and other rubbish,
and the authorities have lighted upon a
novel scavenger scheme. The Minister
of War Is to send 10.000 soldiers, who are
now being drilled for the purpose, to sweep
like an army through the grounds and
buildings April 12 for the purpose o dear

Wrangle Over the Quny Case.
Scarcely had the Puerto Rlcan bill been
disposed of when quite unexpectedly a
serious snarl over the case of ex-Senator
Quay arose. Acting under the unanimous
consent agreement reached March 16. that
the Quay case should be taken up today,
"subject to the consideration ot appropria
tion bills, conference reports, the present
unfinished business and Senate bill 2355"
the Spooner bill as t6 the government of
the Philippines Lodge moved that the
Spooner bill be made the unfinished busi
ness. This was objected to by the friends ot
Quay, and Wolcott (Rep. Colo.) moved
to adjourn. The motion was lost, 23 to 23.
Lodge then, renewed his motion, and again
Wolcott moved to adjourn, but his motion
was lost. 23 to 29. A long wrangle ensued
and when, at 5:55, tho Senate adjourned,
tho situation was still strained, and the
TAXATION OF PUERTO RICO.
An Expert Ur-rri a. System to Salt
Local Conditions.
WASHINGTON. April 3. During the de
bate on the Puerto Rlcan bill today. Fair-
hanks presented the following cablegram
from Governor-General Davis, ot Puerto
Rico:
"San Juan de Puerto Rico. ."March 29.
Letter by next mail from Profesor Hol
lander, strongly advising against legisla
tive requirement of United States Internal
revenue laws, or fixed percentage thereof,
for Puerto Rico. He urges that tax sys
tem for this island should be made to
suit local conditions and harmonize with
home requirements. Hope of attaining
such a system will be unrealizable If un
eulted tax laws are forced on tho Island
and proper measures prevented.

The- Distances of the Stars.
Professor Simon Newcombe In the Youth's
Companion.
A problem In which astronomers are
now much interested Is that of the dis
tance-! of the stars, especially how far out
they extend. It was formerly thought
that the brightest stars were the nearest,
and tho faintest the most distant. But It
ia now found that this is not tho whole
truth, and that some of the brightest
stars aro as far away as those which we
cannot see without a telescope.
There are two remarkable cases of this
kind. Canopus, In the constellation Argo,
is. next to Slrius, the brightest star in
the sky. But its distance Is Immeasur
ably great, so that astronomers have not
been able to learn anything certain about
It, The most interesting conclusion from
this is that Canopus, although It Is only
a star In the sky, is really thousands of
times brighter than the sun.
Canopus Is not tho only star of which
this is true. Rlgel, la the constellation
Orion, is a sto.- ot the first magnitude;
yet its distance Is beyond all that the
most powerful' Instruments of astronomy
can fathom. There may be yet other stars
ten thousand times as bright as the sun,
and yet so far away that we do not see
them as very bright stars.
There ore now about 00 stars of whose
distance astronomers have been able to
get some idea. Tho distances of a few
of the nearest of these have been meas
ured with some approach to exactness,
but the further a star Is, the harder it
becomes to secure exactness In such meas
urements. But astronomers are always
trying to improve their Instruments, and
every year they aro finding out more and
more about the arrangement of tho stars.
Perhaps before tho 20th century shall
bo half gone they will know how far off
the Milky Way Is something they have
as .yet no certain way of learning,

H0y HE KNEW THAT
HE WAS CURED.
A Do$ Galled a a Witness to a
Cure of Dyspepsia.
"How do -I- know J -was cured? Well,
It's this way," said the man to the re
porter. ''I used to come home from work
feeling uglier than sin. When the dog
saw me comlng'he'd put his tail between
his legs and sneak under tho back porch.
When I -went into tho kitchen the cat
dived under the cookstove, and as soon
as the children heard my voice -they'd stop
their play and go and sit on the stairs and
talk in whispers. My wife looked at me
anxiously, not daring to speak until I
spoke first; and she could Judge what
mood I was In. When wo sat down to
table .the little ones could hardly eat fqr
fear of me. That's the way I was while
I was suffering from 'stomach trquWe.'
"Now when' I go home the dog comes
bounding down the road, barking a wel
ome. Little Dick and Annie race to see
who'll get to father first, and the wife
stands at the door.' waiting, with 'all her
heart In her eyes. The children laugh
and chat through supper, and romp after
ward till bed time, and their little voices
are music to me. If you don't believe me.
ask my family. No; ask the dog; he's
absolutely Impartial.'' .
"And you attribute your cure to the use
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery?" said tho reporter.
"What else can I attribute It to?" was
the reply. "I doctored for years without
any benefit. . I tried everything I could
hear of, but I kept getting worse. One
day my wife read a testimonial to a cure
of a case which was like mine. The
writer said that 'Golden Medical Discov
ery had' made a new man of him. She
'got a bottlo unbeknown to. me, and,I was
mad at her. too, for wasting" the money.
I let the bottle stay awhile, and wouldn't.
touch it. One day I thought I might as
well use the stuff up. so Ibegan." I felt
better after using that bottle, and got
some more, and I kept It -up until I felt
like a well man. I gained 13 pounds In two
months, and I never' felt'better In "my llfo
than" I do now. Of course. I give the
credit to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical" Dis
covery. If It s a coincidence, I advise
every one that wants a. similar coincidence
to use the 'Discovery.'
A GREAT SUFFERER.
"I waa a great sufferer from dyspepsia
for over two years, and I was a complete
physical wreck," writes Mr. Preston F.
Fenstermacher, of Egypt. Lehigh County.
Pa. "Had many torturing, gnawing and
aching pains I think that about all that
a dyspeptic has or ever could have. I
also suffered much with constipation. I
tried many different medicines which were
recommended to cure the trouble, but
these only made mo worse, and my con
dition -was more sluggish and weak than
before. It seemed that I was getting
worse all the time. At the same time
my stomach was so weak that the least
and easiest kind of food to digest' would
get sour In my stomach, and I had such
a weak and debilitated appearance that
it seemed as if I had hardly any blood
in my whole body. "Muscles were soft
and flabby, circulation poor and slow. Suf
fered greatly from cold hands, and ttet.
I wrote to a number of medical firms for
medicine and advice, and most .of them
asked of me a large sum ot money to
cure me. but this I could not afford. At
last I enme across an advertisement of
Dr. Plorce's. . I rend It through and
thought to myself this firm must have
some sympathy with suffering humanity.
I wrote to them, for a. question list blank,
which I fllled out and returned to them,
stating my symptoms and pains. To my
great surprise I received by return moll
the best and most substantial advice that
I ever before rend. This advice gave me
the greatest confidence in the World'3
Dispensary Medical Association, even so
great that I at once left off all former
remedies and tried Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery .and Tieasant Pellets.'
I used about eight vials of the 'Pellets'
and ten bottles of the "Discovery." which
brought mo back to my former state of
health,"
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of tho stomach and other,
organs 'of digestion and nutritjpn. When
the stomach Is cured, dHea-jes which seem
remote from the stomach are cured with
It, because many forms of disease affecting
the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys and other
organs, have their "origin In a diseased
condition of the- stomach and the digestive
and nutritive system. What Is known as
"weak stomach" Invariably brings other
organs down to a similar level of weak
ness. The body la sustained by food. All
Its strength comes from food after it has
been digested and assimilated. When tho
digestive and assimilative powers fall, the
body falls of proper nutrition, and tho
los of strength which ensues is felt pro
portionately by each organ of the body,
because each organ of tne body Is only
partly nourished. When Dr. PIerce'3
Golden Medical Discovery cures the dis
eased stomach and re-establishes the di
gestive and" assimilative powers, tho
starved nnd weakened organs at once be
gin to be nourished back Into strength.
A VERY BAD CASE.
"I wish to tell you of the great benefit I
have received from the use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery." writes Mr.
G. B Bird, of Byrnslde. Putnam County.
W. Va, "It" cured me of a very" bad case
of Indigestion associated with torpid liver.
Before I began the use of 'Golden Medical
Discovery I had no appetite; could not
sleep nor work but very little. The little
that I ate did not agree with me. was
constipated, and life was a misery to me.
I wrote to Dr. Pierce, giving- the symp
toms. andJaiked for advice.- He advised
me to try the "6olden Medical Discovery."
so I began the use ot It, and after taking
four bottles I felt so well that I went to
work, but soon got worse, so I again began
.the use of It and used.lt about eight weeks
longer, 'when I was permanently cured. I
took In all 12 bottles of the 'Discovery and
somo of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets la
connection with tBe "Discovery." "
BETTER THAN SEVEN DOCTORS.
"I have recdved more benefit from your
medicine than anything I have taken."

Oshkosh. Wis. "I had live- complaint for
the past 15 years, complicated with dys
pepsia and gall stones. I had doctored
with seven of our prominent doctors, and
not one or ell of them baa done me the
good, nor began to do what your medldnes
