INDIANS WON'T OBEY
Objectto Official Order to Cut
.Off Their Hair.
DEEM RIGHTS ARE ATTACKED
Umatilla Brave Will Appeal to the
Courts Before Parting With Their
Hirsute Appendages Damasea
Have Been Paid Heretofore.
FEXDLETON, Or., Jan. 28. Indians on
the Umatilla reservation are not Inclined
to obey the order emanating from Indian
Commissioner Jones recently. In "which it
Is said that residents of the reserves
must conform to the customs of the
whites and cut off their long hair, and
in other ways alter their practices. The
Indians look upon the order in the same
light as do whites when their legal rights
are attacked. They think they have the
right to wear their hair as long as they
choose. In proof of this they cite the
case that arose here upon the Umatilla
reserve a few years ago, when Judge
James A. Feo rendered a. decision that the
Indians who accepted lands in severalty
are citizens and entitled to all the rights
and privileges thereunto pertaining. In
the case to which reference is .made, Ed
Brisbo, an Indian policeman employed
upon the reservation here, was ordered to
arrest an Indian named Jack Weet Soot,
tho order emanating from the Court of
Indian Offenses, and the offense for which
the arrest was made being getting drunk.
The court was duly authorized by the
Interior Department, and the punishment
Inflicted had the sanction of the depart
ment.. This punishment was to have his
hair cut off. Policeman Brisbo obeyed
the court's order and cut off "Weet Soot's
hair. "Weet Soot employed counsel, Col
onel William Parsons, and took the case
into the State Court hero, demanding
damages for the cutting off of his hair.
The court rendered a decision that, under
the Dawes and Slater acts, and having
taken lands In allotment and severed
tribal relations, the Indians were citizens
in all the meaning of the word. Brisbo
paid $200 damages to "Weet Soot.
It is apparent the Indians here will pay
no attention to the order. In the event it
be Interpreted to mean that they must cut
off their hair or cease wearing the bril
liant robes that are their especial delight
and which the most of them prefer to or
dinary white man's clothing. If the au
thorities attempt to enforce the order the
Indians will take the case into the courts.

MANY HOGS ARE DYING.
Majority of Farmers Concede PIarue
Exists Near Pendleton.
PENDLETON, Or., Jan. 2S. As Inquiry
continues regarding the losses from swine
plague In Umatilla County, the situation
Is revealed as serious enough to warrant
quick actlpn by the authorities. There
has been systematic covering up of the
facts. For weeks, hogs have been dyjng,
and, In one Instance, a butcher lost GO
head, and yet the fact was not made
known until a day or two a'go. From a
dozen quarters come authentic reports of
hog-raisers losing from six to GO head
each from this disease. Dr. Christie, a
veterinary surgeon of standing, affirms
that It Is beyond doubt swine plague,
commonly known as hog cholera. He has
carefully examined a large number of
cases, and has no doubt In the premises.
Some of the owners claim It is something
else, but the diagnosis of Dr. Christie Is
supported by the majority.
Positive Information already received
shows not less than 000 hogs have died
from this plague, and It is believed that
there are many cases not yet reported.
Alarm Is felt by all who are Interested In
the Industry hereabouts.
One of the worst features of the situa
tion is that the dead carcasses have been
thrown Into the creeks, In many In
stances, It having been ascertained that
In one place on McKay Creek no less
than 50 bodies were seen lying where they
could Infect the water, and endanger all
animals drinking from the creek below.
It is understood that the matter has
been called to the attention of Dr. 11c-
Lean, State Veterinarian, and he will be
asked tb deputize someone to attend to it.
The latest report of deaths among the
swine Is that Pat Klne. living one mile
below Pendleton, lost 60 head some time
ago, and the disease has gained a footing
on the Indian reservation.
ANEXT TEACHERS' EXAMINATIONS.
Important Ruling of State Board la a
Benton County Case.
CORTVALLIS, Jan. 28. County School
Superintendent Denman has Just received
the decision of the State Board of Edu
cation on the petition of a Benton County
applicant for a primary certificate, which
Is of more than passing interest. The
facts in the case, briefly stated, are as
follows: The petitioner, Mrs. Jennie S.
Pratt, presented herself before the county
board in August, 1901, as an applicant for
a primary certificate. She passed In all
the branches except written arithmetic.
During the examination a question arose
as to whether the examination should be
on written or mental arithmetic It was
agreed between the Superintendent and
the applicant that the examination should
be on written arithmetic, and the mat
ter referred to the State Superintendent,
and In case that official decided In favor
of mental arithmetic, she should be al
lowed a special examination. The State
Superintendent rendered an opinion that
the examination should have been on
written arithmetic, and as the applicant
made no objection to writing on such
branch during the examination, she was
entitled to no special examination. The
State Board of Education concurred in
this decision, and the opinion just received
by Superintendent Denman Is signed by
Superintendent Ackerman, Governor Geer
and Secretary Dunbar, comprising the
State Board.
The State Board, however, makes an ex
ception in the case under consideration, in
view of the question as to which branch
of arithmetic the applicant should have
written on, and authorizes a special ex
amination in her behalf. That part of the
decision of the board on this point Is as
follows:
It appearing to the board from the evidence
submitted that the programme cent out by the
board, and published by the County Superin
tendent of Benton County, was somewhat un
certain as to whether applicants should be ex
amined on the subject of written or mental
arithmetic, for which uncertainty the State
Board of Education assumes all blame. It Is.
therefore, hereby ordered that the said Jennie
8. Pratt be allowed to appear before the Coun
ty Board of Examiners of Benton County dur
ing the next regular examination for primary
certificates to be held In February. 1002, and
at such time write on the Bubject of arith
metic on such questions as shall be prepared
on such subject by the Stae Board of Educa
tion for applicants for primary certificates,
and that her standing In all the other branches
secured during the examination In August,
1001, be allowed to stand as the regular ex
amination In such' branches, and that tho
County Board of Examiners for Benton Coun
ty Is hereby authorized to Issue to her a pri
mary certificate dating from February, 1002.
providing, that In the February examination,
1002, her standing In arithmetic, together with
the standings secured In August, 1001, In the
other branches, shall legally entitle her to such
primary certificate.
SJIELTER. FOR SOUTHERN OREGON.
Mining Men Meet and Decide on
Merlin as the Place for It.
GRANT'S PASS, Or., Jan. 2S. A num
ber of prominent mining men are taking
active steps toward putting In a smelter
In Southern Oregon. A meeting of min
ing men. among whom was C. R. John
son, of Montana, has just been held at
Merlin, a mining camp eight miles north
of here, and the matter of a smelter was
considered. Merlin being more centrally
located in the Northern Josephine mineral
region, has been chosen as the most de
sirable site for a smelter. , It would be
easily reached by the mines and plenty
of water and fuel would also .be available.
Another meeting - of mining men fur
ther to consider this question will be held
In the near future, at which time a perma
nent organization will be perfected. As
It Is now, all the ores from Southern Ore
gon have to be shipped to California
smelters.
Cyanide PInnt Installed.
Anew cyanide plant has just been in
stalled at the Gold Blug mine, in the
Mount Reuben district. This will enable
the owners to save the values of the tail
ings, which run $15 per ton. All the tail
ings have been saved by cribbing, and
will be worked over. A new two-cage
hoist and additional stamps are also to
be installed at the Gold Bug soon. De
velopment in this mine Is proceeding by
five levels, the longest being 750 feet, and
a depth of 350 feet being rcachd. The
ore body is found In a true fissure vein,
possessing a width of 16 feet and carrying
an average value of S30 per ton. The
monthly clean-ups run from 512,000 to 515,
000. A five-stamp mill and a crew of SO
men are constantly employed. The Gold
Bug is the property of Senator S. P.
Jones, of Nevada, S. L. Jones and H. M.
Gorham. The company is a close corpor
ation, no stock being for sale.

MANY FRUITMEN ON HAND
NORTHWEST ASSOCIATION MEJSTS
IX ANNUAIi CONVENTION.
AH the Speakers Agree That the Sac
' ccssfal-JHan Is He Who Employs
Brain as Well as Bravrn.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Jan. 28. The
ninth annual convention of the Northwest
Fruitgrowers' Association began Its ses
sions In the courtroom this afternoon,
with a large attendance of fruitgrowers
from Washington, Oregon and Idaho, and
many railroad officials and boxmakers.
Dr. N. G. Blalock is president, and
Charles H. Vandewater secretary of the
association. A short address of welcome'
was delivered by City Attorney Blandford,
to which Dr. Blalock replied. He said

vegetables were shipped out of the Inland
Empire.
Colonel C. L. Smith being called on to
"fill In," talked for an hour. He said
the most successful t fruitgrower is the
mn who works his own brains and the
muscles of others. He Interviewed 12 men
one day at Milton on the subject of grape
growing for profit. Eight of them de
clared it could not bo done, one had made
$100 from an acre of grapes, another had
made 5250, another 5750 per acre, and the,
12th. man had made 52325 in a year on
of an acre. This showed that brains,
not climate, made success or failure of
grapegrowlng in the same section.
Hon. E. L. Smith, of Hood River, re
ported that the fruit-growers of Oregon
were losing from 25 to 50 per cent by not
using more brains in their business.
The association practically agreed to
stand by the standard apple box adopted
a year ago.
PREFERRED DEATH TO PRISON.
Yukon Offlcinl Found Short In His
Accounts Suicides.
SEATTLE, Jan. 28. A special to the
Times from Dawson. January 27, via Ash
croft, January 2S, says:
Thomas Middleton, chief accountant for
the Yukon Territory, has committed sui
cide rather than suffer the disgrace of
arrest for embezzlement. He was a na
tive of Leeds, England. He had been
missing for several days, during which
time a thorough examination was made of
his books and a shortage approximating
510,000 was discovered. A warrant was
immediately served out for Middleton's
arrest. He was found In an out-of-the-way
house, and taken to the Government
offices.
When confronted with proof of his de
falcation he attempted no excuses and
was cool and collected. When the Inter
view was terminated he excused himself
a moment to step into the toilet. A second
later the officers heard the fall of a body,
followed by groaning. Middleton had cut
his throat from ear to ear. Before medl.
cal aid could be summoned he had expired.
Middleton was one of the most popular
Government officials here, but had been
leading a life for which he found his
salary insufficient.
John Durand, of Ho-.trvil, was killed
in the shaft of the ThlrfyvFIve Sclow

going up and djspaccd a large 6tone,
which fell to the bottom of the shaft
where Durand was working. He was In

TO TEST VALIDITY OF LAW.
Ten-Hour Labor Case Will Be Car
ried to the' Supreme Court.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 2S. The law passed at
the last session of the Legislature pro
viding a penalty for employers working
their employes more than 10 hours will
at last be taken to the Supreme Court to
be tested. Labor Commissioner Black
man, on Saturday last, caused the arrest
of Manager Buchanan, of the Bon
Marche, at Seattle, for causing several of
his girl employes to work more than the
statutory 10 hours, and the case will be
heard In the Superior Court at Seattle.
i No matter which way the case terminates
In the Superior Court, It will be appealed.
At Everett, last year, a case was brought
by the Labor Commissioner against an
employer for a similar olfense. The man
was found guilty In the Justice Court, but
on appeal to the Superior Court the Judg
ment was set aside on the ground that
the law was unconstitutional. An agree
ment has now been reached by the Prose
cuting Attorneys of King and Snohomish
Counties to join In the appeal to the high
er court and thus definitely have the
question of the constitutionality of
law settled.

POORMAN WANTS TO GO HIGHER.
If Marlon's Representative Comes
Out, It "Will Be for Senator.
SALEM. Jan. 28. J. M. Poorman, of
Woodburn, a member of the lower house
of the last Legislature from-Marlon Coun
ty, was In Salem today. He says he has
not yet fully decided whether he will be
a candidate for return to the Legislature,
hut If he should determine to make the
race. It will be for a. seat in the Senate
instead of In the House of Representa
tives. He expresses himself as favoring
the renomlnntlon of Governor Geer, and
says that, from what he hears, he Judges
tho opposition to Geer Is weakening. It
Is well known In this county that the
Woodburn Republicans always have a lo
cal fight, to which state matters are sub
ordinated. In the coming campaign. w
far as now can be learned, the opposing
factions at Woodburn. will be led by Poor
man and Walter L. Tooze. The latter has
not been considered friendly to Geer'a
renominatlon.
No Politics Yet In Grant County.
Charles W. Parrish. an attorney at Can
yon City, was In Saffcm today on business
before the State Land Board. He says
that Grant County people are paying no
attention to politics as yet, for they are
too deeply Interested In the subject of
leasing the public domain and the effect
of the arid land law. The question of
leasing the public domain is of so much
Importance that Mr. Parrish anticipates
that this will be an Issue In the next Con
gressional campaign. Mr. Parrish declined
to give his views on these question for
publication.
Examination of Alleged Embezzler.
SALEM, Jan. 28. James R. Lucas, re
cently arrested at Seattle, was examined
In Judge Judah's- court today, on the
charge of embezzling 5200. The prosecu
tion attempted to show that Lucas was
foreman for Spugh & "Van Patten on Gov
ernment work at Clumawa, and that he
was given J400 to pay off the men, 530 of
that sum being for himself. He took the
money and skipped. The defense was that
he was a subcontractor, and hence the
5400 belonged to him, and the men had
only a civil claim against him. It was
also contended that since he owned part
of the money, he could not be held for
embezzlement. The case Is yet to be ar
gued and decided.

EX-SOLDIER PLANS TO MAKE A
2000-MILE JOURNEY.
Expressman. Discovers Him While
Loading Up, Sapposes He Is a
1 Corpse, and Notifies Police.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jin. 2S. Two thou
sand miles across mountains and plains
was the pilgrimage that Harry M. Prouse,
a discharged soldier, formerly of Oswego,
N. Y., started upon In a drygoods box
this morning. One brief mile over cob
blestones and car tracks to the central
police station, most of the time standing
on his head, and all of the time barking
his shins and elbows, was the Journey he
really made.
Prouse was honorably discharged from
Troop A. -Eleventh United States Cav
alry, on March 13, 1901. Yesterday, with
512 capital, he resolved to join friends In
Chicago. Acting upon the Idea suggested
by the recent escape from Alcatrar Is
land of a prisoner, he secured a dryffoods
case, laid In a stock of provisions, ar
ranged with an expressman to ship the
box today, and under cover of darkness
concealed himself In the case and await
ed developments. True to his promise,
the expressman called for the box this

Deserter Leaps OverboardEscapes.
VALLEJO. Cal., Jan. 2S. Norman F.
Lambert, a prisoner on the receiving ship
Independence, awaiting trial on a charge
of desertion from ship on. the Asiatic
station, jumped overboard from the ves
sel last night and struck out for the Val
lejo hore. Pursuit was quickly made,
but all trace of the fugitive was lost, he
having escaped In the darkness or sank.
Lambert Is the man-of-war's-man who,
when arrested In Indiana, could prove
his Innocence only by proving an alibi
on board a warship when the crime was
committed. Thus he was proved a de
serter. Homesickness and a desire to
meet his wife and children caused him
to desert. He was within a few miles of
home when arrested for murder.
' SOUND FORESTRY RULES.
New Orders Show a Businesslike
Management Is In Vogue.
SALEM. Jan. 2S. Tho adoption of busi
ness methods In managing the forest re
serve Is shown by recent rules and regu
lations received In Salem by Government
officials. Under the new organization of
the Forestry Department, business relat
ing to the use of timber on the reserve
will be conducted on the same careful
plan that Is employed In other Govern
ment transactions. An illustration of this
may be seen in the form of application
and contract for the purchase of timber
on the reserve. The applicant must agree
to deposit with the Receiver of his local
land office such sum as may be required
at the time of filing his bid for the tim
ber, and further promise that in caso his
application Is favorably considered he will
deposit with the said Receiver such sum
as may be required to cover the cost of
advertising for bids for the purchase of
this timber, and In the event that he Is
awarded the timber, he Is to pay the said
Receiver the amount covered by this bid.
The contracts specify in detail the kind
of timber that may be cut, and the exact
location, the sizes of trees that may be
taken, and none of the material terms
of the contract are left to be "Implied."
The person who thus secures timber from
from the reserve must agree to the fol
lowing terms:
I will comply strictly with the laws and the
regulations governing forest reserves; submit
all timber and wood to measurement by the
forest officer before the samo Is removed: pay
in advance for all timber before cuttlns the
same; cut only timber on the area agreed upon
and blazed and marked, and not to cut any
of the live trees bounding this area; to leave
no logs, ties, logging or other material In the
woods, and to pay double the agreed price for
any material thus left in the woods; to pay
for all material used In shanties or buildings
of any kind; also for material used in the
construction of skldways, corduroy, log roads,
bridges and other Improvements; to cut only
marked timber, and to cut all marked timber;
to leave no trees lodged in process of felling;
that all mt-terlal Is marked on skldway or In
pile, the amount to be placed In plain figures
at top or on blase near by. and that no mate
rial will be piled on such stfldway or pile
after the scaling has been finished.
I furtker agree that in case my bid for this
timber Is accepted I will execute a contract
embodying the above provisions for the pur
chase of said timber, and deliver therewith a
bond which shall be satisfactory to the forest
olllcers for the faithful performance of the
conditions Imposed In said contract; and I
further agree that In case of alluro on my
'part to fulfill, all and singular, the require
ments of said contract I will forfeit the said
bond and all moneys paid to the Receiver of
Public Moneys herein mentioned.
These limitations and restrictions are
no more severe than are Imposed In Gov
ernment business In other departments,
and show a disposition upon the part of
the Department of the Interior to re
quire of loggers and lumbermen the same
security that Is required of other persons
entering Into contracts with the Govern
ment. An attempt has been made to give
out the Impression that the department
Is unduly exacting In Its contracts with
loggers, but every tlmberman knows that
It would be a poor system Indeed that
permitted Individuals or corporations to
cut timber as they pleased, leave brush
and tree tops wherever most convenient,
pile their logs as might best serve their
own Interests, and have their logs scaled
at the times that suited them best.
The limitations placed upon cutting
timber for commercial purposes are fol
lowed, so far as applicable. In granting

Modest Womanhood
A becoming modesty keeps many afflicted women from consulting a doctor about femtfe diseases
and the fear of an unnecessary surgical operation keeps many others away. In this way the poor suf
fering woman who longs for relief but shrinks from seeking it, gives up in despair. But hundreds of
thousands of women in this country to-day, like Mrs. Steele, know that there is no need of giving
ufj that there is a positive home cure for female diseases within the reach of every modest woman.
made life worth living for Mrs. Steele, when the best doctors in Illinois could not help her without
an operation from which she recoiled with horror. If you are despondent, suffering female ills and
bearing pain, go to your druggist and buy a bottle of Wine of Cardui. It will relieve you.
Peoria, 111., April 5, 1901.
I have been a sufferer every month since 1 have been a woman and have been treated by the but doctors and
found no relief. The' last doctor wanted me to go to the hospital andhave my ovaries removed. He said t "This
s the only remedy 1 can sec for you, Mrs. Steele." "No, no, I will not," I said. Then I found a Ladies' Birthday
Almanac and this is the way 1 found relief and 1 am not butchered up by the doctor. 1 don't wait for my woman
friends to see your advertisement, but I go and tell them. 1 can't speak good enough for this wonderful Wine of
Cardui. 1 am a strong woman and do all my work and ride my bicycle. 1 send word to ladies I hear are suffering

The Deadly Grip of an
Invisible Hand. -.
The climax of some of "the most weird
ghost stories is reached in the choking
grip of an traseen hand upon the throat
of a sleeping victim. We are constantly
proving that the most fantastic stories
may have some sasis in actual fact. It
is so in the case of the strangling grip
of the invisible hand. The man who
has had a night attack of severe bron
chitis, knows the choking and gasping
which follow the paroxysm as if some
hand was tightening on the air passages,
and ttje victim was slowly suffocating.
Bronchitis can be cured. Coughs and
lung troubles generally can be cured by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
"I wrote to you for advice and you
advised me to take 'Golden Medical
Discovery and ' Pleasant Pellets,' which
I did, and to my surprise got well," writes
Mr. Joseph A. Valleroy, of Forman, 111.
(Box 3). "Had what the doctors called
bronchitis, and whenever I would take
cold would suffer greatly; but since
taking two bottles of Dr. Pierce'3 Golden
Medical Discovery and one bottle of his
' Pleasant Pellets ' have been cured of
that terrible trouble. Before taking your
medicine I weighed 120 pounds ; now I
weigh 130.
THB FATAI. END.
Thousands of people die every year
of consumption. Every one of tnose
thousands might have cured the cough
or lung trouble which ended fatally.
There is no cough, however trivial, that
does not have in it the germ of consump
tion. When bronchitis develops, the
possibility of a cough ending in con
sumption is increased to a probability.
It is no time to use cough medicines,
syrups and opiates. The need is for some
healing medicine, which will not only
cure the cough but heal the inflamed and
diseased tissues. That is the work per
formed by n Golden Medical Discovery J
It cures coughs. But it does far more
than that. It cures weak and bleeding
lungs. It takes the weak, emaciated,
tottering victim, for whom the bony
hand of consumption is already out
stretched, and leads him back to health.
It has done this in hundreds of cases
where hemorrhages were severe and fre
quent, emaciation far advanced, and the
night-sweat and hectic fever seemed to
et the seal of doom upon the weaken
ing life.
I wish to inform you that I consider
your medicine the best ever put before
the public for lung and throat trouble,
general debility and female weakness,"
writes Mrs. V. B. Miller, of South Bend
(River Park), Ind. I have been a great
sufferer for several years with bronchitis,
catarrh of stomach and female weakness.
Was so bad off this spring did not think
could live until now. Could neither eat
nor sleep, could not be on my feet but a
short time, had a terrible cough, was
very thin and nervous. I began using
Dr. Pierce's medicines and have taken
them steadily since lost May, have taken
nine bottles of each kind, ' Golden Med

wishes to cut timber on the reserve for
fuel, fences, buildings or other purposes,

and must agree to pile the brush and
tree tops In such a manner as to guard
against fire which might spread to the
live timber.

tion.' The improvement seemed slow at
first but am improving fast lately. Have
not coughed for three months. My
friends all speak of my looking so much
better. I do all my housework, have
canned one hundred and fifty quarts of
fruit this fall. You may publish" this
statement if you wish, I hope all women
so afflicted will try Dr. Pierce's medicinea
and be cured not only take a few, bot
tles, but continue their use until cured.
WHAT IS YOUR WEIGHT?
One of the first signs of pulmonary
disease is loss of flesh. The man finda
his clothes hanging a little loosely on
him. The woman finds that hejj gowns
do not fit her as. snugly as when they
were made for her. When the scales
show a steady decrease from the normal
weight of health, there is danger. If
there is a cough then the danger threat
ens the lungs, or has already attacked
them. There should be no delay in
taking measures to at once stop this loss
of flesh, and that can only be done by cur
ing the disease which causes emaciation.
Those who have been cured of lung dis
eases by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery gener
ally mention the gain in
flesh which accompanies
the cure. Sometimes this
gain is only implied, as in
the case of Mrs. Miller,
who was nvery thin," and
whose friends tell her since
using the "Discovery" how
much better she is looking.
It is implied too in the
change from a woman who
could only be on her feet
but a short time to a
woman who can do all her
own housework and can one
t hundred and fifty quarts of
lrtut., But m many cases,
as in Mr. Valleroy's, the
gain in weight is explicitly
stated: "Before taking
your medicine I weighed
120 pounds ; now I weigh 130." There's
proof positive of Ncure, when lost flesh is
regained and when weakness is changed
into strength.
"In 1900, my husband had neuralgia
and also a severe cough," writes Mrs.
Bettie E. Payne, of Kiel, Okla. "For
nearly three years his cough was so bad
he could not lie down at night. He got
no relief from the doctors we employed,
so we purchased two bottles of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Af
ter the first four doses we could see that
his cough was better, and he rested fairly
well that night. The doctor thought it
was consumption if it was, the two bot
tles of ' Golden Medical Discovery cured
him nothing else did."
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures bronchitis, deep-seated coughs,
weak and bleeding lungs, emaciation and
conditions generally, which, if neglected
or unskilfully treated, find a fatal term
ination in consumption.
Sick peopTe, especially those suffering
fronvchromc diseases, are invited to con
sult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free, and so
obtain, without charge, the opinion of a
specialist on their ailments. All corres
pondence strictly confidential. Address
Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
Sometimes a dealer tempted by the
little more profit paid on the sale of less
meritorious medicines will offer the cus
tomer a substitute as being " just as good"
as the " Discovery." It is better for the
dealer because it pays better, but it is
not as good for you if you want the
medicine that has cured others, and
which you believe will cure you.
