The carriage of a buzz-saw doesn't move very fast, but if a man s ays on it long enough he will presently be sawn asunder. The pro cess of gradual bodily decline and loss of energy which leads finally to con sumption is not always very rapid, but if it isn't stopped it will presently begi.i to saw its way into the most vital part of the body, the lungs. There would be very little consumption if every family would keep Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery in the house, and use it whenever feel ing "out of sorts." It keeps the entire body in such a high condition of health and forcefulness that wasting diseases hav( no chance to get a foot-hold. A teaspoon ful or two before meals, in a little water, gives the digestive organism power to as similate the blood-making, nerve-toning, strength -building properties of the food. It enables the liver and excretory system to clear the circulation of bilious poisons and remove all waste matter from the body. It replaces worn out tissue with hard mus cular flesh, and changes weakness and debility into active power and nerve force. The originator of this great " Discovery. " R. V. Pierce, M. D., is chief consulting physician to the great Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y., at the head of a staff of nearly a score of eminent associate physicians and surgeons. He has acquired, in his over thirty years of active practife, a reputation second to no living physician in the treatment of obstinate, chronic diseases. His prescriptions must not be confounded with the numerous "boom" remedies, "extracts," "com pounds," and "sarsaparillas," which a profit-seeking druggist is often ready to urge as a substitute. Dr. Pierce's medi cines are the product of wide experience and deep study. Any one may consult him by mail free of charge. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. By Orvlllc A. Jones.
