7 NO CHANGE IN VOTE "I can't dispute your statement, for it is undoubtedly true," said the doctor. "I have seen many cases in my practice of dyspepsia and other diseases of the stomach cured by that' Discovery of Dr. Pierce. It seems to assist in the diges tion and assimilation of the food in the stomach, and not only that but it builds up the general health by enriching the blood and stimulating the liver into healthy action. Nervous feelings of de spondency and the blues are done away with because the nerves are fed on rich pure blood and they no longer cry out for their proper food. No man or wom an can be strong or feel happy who. is suffering from indigestion, because when the stomach is diseased there's a dimi nution of the red corpuscles of the blood this is why one don't sleep well, is languid, nervous and irritable."

Senator Garber, of Lincoln, made a speech in favor of the bill, in the course of "which he said that members of the legal profession -were nrohe to promote petty and pestiferous litigation, and their cli ents stiould be made to help pay the fid dler. This stirred up Senator Moore, of King County, who made an impassioned defense of lawyers. Senator "Warburton followed with the declaration that the bill "Was in the interest of corporations. The bill was then placed on final pas sage and defeated by a vote of 17 to 24. Before the announcement of the vote, however, Senator CroW changed his vote in order to move for a reconsideration afterward.

It soon developed that the beauti ful Miss Schuj'ler thought herself a "Vegetarian." "But," said Dr. Smith, " what do you eat ? " " All kinds of veget ables and fruit," said she, "then I dnnk milk, have eggs for breakfast, besides at other meals 1 eat butter, pudding, cheese End cake, and tell every one they ought to do as I do, I feel so much better." The doctor looked astonished. "And you call that vegetarian ? My dear young woman don't you know that butter, eggs and milk are animal foods? Then, too, it is a mistake to urge others to follow you. What is good for you may not be good for others. The Esquimo of the Arctic regions couldn't support life on a vegetable diet. Some animal food is necessary to keep heat in his body. On the other hand, besides the individual peculiarities and the climate, the condi tions under -which' each person lives, would make it a mistake for you to rec ommend to everybody to follow your example." "At the same time," con tinued the doctor, "I have come to the conclusion that fully one-half of the ty to order a session of the grand jury at least once a year. H.

No thank you, I tried that when I had dys pepsia, heart palpitations and dizzy spells so bad I thought I'd go mad", and then when I struck the pump treat ment I thought I'd go madder! But fortunatery just about that time I saw something in the paper which made me stop and think. I said, if hundreds of others can be cured by such simple treat ment as taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery three times a day, I think I'll try. I did try, and in two months I was sound and well again without those horrid stomach pumps, and then best of all, I mote to Dr. R. V. Pierce, at Buf falo, N. Y., and asked his advice in my case, and he told me how to care for myself, how to exercise, diet, etc., and that didn't cost me a cent. Then I bought his book, the ' Common Sense Medical Adviser,' and now I know just exactly how to live to be a hundred in the shade." with orders to report to the commanding officer for duty.

Few People Know Ho it Useful it I in Preserving Health, and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that cnarcoM is the safest and most efficient dlsinfect 'ant and purifier in nature, but few1 real ize its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; It is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out ot the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking, or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the complexion, It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which collect In the stomach and bowels; It dis infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. ' All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed Of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges tho charcoal being mixed with honey ' The dally use of these lozenges -will soon tell In a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It Is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician In speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "i advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa tlents suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify tho breath, mouth and throat- 1 also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they coat but twenty-five cents a box at drug store and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets. If they cannot show the original signa ture of the individuals who volunteer the testimonials below, and of the writers of every testimonial among the thousands which they are constantly publishing, thus proving their genu ineness. "Words cannot express what I suffered for three years from the effects of a torpid liver," writes Jas. E. Hawkins, Esq., Presi dent Order of Golden Circle, No. 41, of America, Box 1038, St, Louis, Mo. "Had I but known of your ' Golden Medical Dis covery ' sooner what misery I might have been spared. I was bilious, tongue was coated, appetite poor, and I had frequent distressing: pains in the side and under shoulder-blades, but within a week after I commenced Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery there was a marked change for the better, so I kept on using it, three times a day, for over a month, with an occasional dose of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to regulate the bowels, and the results were all and more than I could wish. My appe tite is splendid I feel ten years younger, and am entirely free from pain of any kind. Your 'Golden Medical Discovery' is cer- J tainly all that its name implies, and I grate- luiiy cnaorsc iu Mrs. Alice Everly, of Creedville, Ohio, says : "Sometime ago I wrote you in regard my case, asking your advice, also what I needed in the medicine line.

Dr. Hirsch, referring to Sunday school stories, said: "There is not a single note In this trash th.at rings true to life or character of the child.

Their theology is damnable and their morality is below the freezing point.

It Is thought that the property could be secured for about $100,000, and the Idea is receiving serious considera tion, although it is entirely apart from the original plans, for which a fund of $150,000 is now being raised. AN OBJECT LESSON In a Restnnranr. A physician puts the query: Have you never noticed In any largo restaurant at lunch or dinner time the large number of .hearty, vigorous old men at the tables; men whose ages run from 60 to SO years: many of them bald and. all perhaps gray, but none of them feeble or senile? Perhaps the spectacle Is so common aa to have escaped your observation or com ment, but nevertheless it Is an object les son which means something. If you will notice what these hearty old fellows aro eating you will observe that they are not munching bran crackers nor gingerlv plckintr their way through a menu card of new fangled health foods; on the contrary they seem to prefer a juicy roast of beef, a properly turned loin of mutton and even the deadly broiled lobster is not altogether Ignored. The point of all this is that a vigorous old age depends upon good digestion and plenty of wholesome food and not upon dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran crackers. There Is a certain class of food cranks who seem to believe that meat, coffee and many other good things are rank poisons, but these cadaverous sickly-looking indi viduals are a weakly condemnation of their own theories. The matter in a nutshell is that if the stomach secretes the natural digestive juices in sufficient quantity any whole some food will be promptly digested; if the stomach does not do so, and certain foods cause distress one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal will remove all difficulty because they supply just what every weak stomach lacks, pep sin, hydro-chloric acid, diastase and mix. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act upon the bowels and in fact are not strictly a medicine, as they act almost entirely upon the food eaten, digesting It thoroughly and thus giving a much-needed rest and giving an appetite for the next meal. Of people who travel nine out of ten use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets knowing them to be perfectly safe to use at any time and also having found out by expe rience that they are a safeguard against indigestion in any form, and eating as they have to, at all hours and all kinds of food, the traveling public for years have pinned their faith to Stuart's Tab lets. All druggists sell them at SO cent3 for full-sized packages and any druggist from Maine to California, If his opinion were asked, will say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the most popular and suc cessful remedy for any stomach trouble.
