in his hut overlooking the Siuslaw,

ideal retreat for him, and the poet
is determined to extract all the en
joyment possible from it."

s-.ite board of health, through Bac
teriologist, Ralph Matson, has de
clared the water supply of Eugene
to ba unsanitary and will take
steps to enforce Alteration of all
water used for drinking and domes
tic purposes. The typhoid fever
epidemie, which swept the valley
town last spring, is directly trace
able to polluted water, and now
that it is discovered that the water
is still impure, the health board is
determined to take no chances cn a
repetition of the fever. It is alleged
by the Eugene authorities, that the
water is filtered before being used,
but this is found to be doubtful.
Many are even drinking it without
boiling, ajnd the health board great
ly fears sickness as the result of
ouch1 carelessness.'

Standing ont in bold relief, oil alone,

for all diECisos arising from thin, watery
or impuro blood, as scrofulous and skin
affections.
Each bottle of the above medicines
bears upon its wrapper a bade of hon

This frank and open publicity places
these medicino3 in a class all by'ihem

merits. They cannot be classed as patent
nor secret medicines for they are neither
being of lamum ccmpcs-Uicm.
Dr. Pierce feels that he cr.n afford to
take the alilicted into his full coniidenco
and lay all the ingredients of his medi
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores c the
most eminent medical writers as cures
for the diseases for which these medi

Dr. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative valno of his medicines for cer
tain easily recognized diseases.
A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and
no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter
into Dr. Pierce's medicines, they being
wholly compounded of glyceric extracts
of the roots of native, American forest
plants. Thase are best and safest for
