A great tnany people will be interested in seeing the form of the grip
bacillus which appears in the border of this article. In the ten years or
more since the Russian grip first invaded this country, it has proved fatal
to hundreds of thousands of people. From 1889 to the date of the pres
ent epidemic, it is said that in New York State alone more than 52,000
deaths have been caused by grip. The present epidemic seems to be more
disastrous in its results and even morewide spread than that which intro
duced the disease to this country and added a new word to the popular
vocabulary. "What is grip?" people asked when the term first came
into use. It took little time for the public to realize that this disease
was more fatal than small-pox and more to be dreaded by reason of its after
consequences. Small-pox scars the skin, but leaves the body strong.
Grip leaves no outward scars, but so undermines the physical strength
that it leaves the system a prey to any chance disease. It commonly
results in chronic debility and frequently is followed by insanity.
The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will not only result
in a quick cure of grip, but will generally prevent the disastrous after
effects which are often more to be dreaded than the disease itself,
painful as that is. Persons suffering from grip need to build up
the body and fortify it against the after; consequences of this peculiar
malady. This can be effectually done by the use of "Golden Medical
Discovery." It restores the vigor and vitality of the body gives new
blood andfUew; life,' . ...
" I.nst spring I had o severe attack of la Grippe;" writes Miss Eucy M. Van Wey,
of Mitcliellcreek, Tioga Co., Penn'a," and was under treatment of one of tbe best
physiciuns in this part of the country from March until in July, and although greatly' '
benefited by his treatment yet I was left in a miserable condition. Nervous prostra
tion seemed to be the leading trouble; was very despondent; would awake mornings
with n dull, heavy pain over my eyes; had bilious headache a great share of the time;
great distress after eating; stomach would bloat and I was very weak. The least
exertion would completely tire me out. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's medicines,
1 wrote a letter of consultation to tbe Doctor and received a prompt and very satisfac
tory reply. I immediately bought a bottle of ' Golden Medical Discovery 1 and one of
' Favorite Prescription,' also a vial of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, and took them as
directed, lty the time I had taken two-thirds of these medicines I felt such a decided
change for the better that I bought half-a-dozen bottles more three of ' Golden Med
ical Discovery ' and three of ' Favorite Prescription.' I can truly say that I feel bet
ter than in five years before. One by one my symptoms gradually disappeared. No
more weakness, 'despondency, nor blues. Am well and happy, and 1 truly thank God
that Dr. Pierce has been permitted to live to prepare and send out such valuable
medicines fur the relief of suffering humanity. I would say to all sufferers, 'Write
to the World's Dispensary Medical Association, then give Dr. Pierce's medicines a
thorough trial, and it is my sincere belief that you will just as sure get your health as
that day follows night."
The .source of all physical strength is food, which after digestion is
converted into nutrition and in the form of blood becomes the sustenance
of the body. When disease attacks the stomach or other organs of diges
tion and nutrition, or when the stomach is "weak," as it is after an attack
of disense like the grip, the whole body is weak because of lack of nutri
tion. The only way to gain strength is by nourishing the body, and the
only way to flourish the body is to enable the assimilation of food by
strengthening The "weak" stomach and curing the diseases of the stomach
and digestive and nutritive tracts. This is perfectly accomplished by Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It does not make strength, no medi
cine can do that, because all strength is made from food properly digested
and assimilated. It is by enabling the perfect digestion and asimilation
of food that "Golden Medical Discovery " restores physical strength and
sound health. No matter what organ is affected by disease through,
stomach weakness and lack of nutrition, whether heart, lungs, kidneys,
liver, or any other organ, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery may be
relied upon in almost all cases to give strength aud health. It always
helps.' It almost always cures.
"I feel very grateful for the home-treatment given me by the World's Dispensary
Medical Association," writes T. J. P. l.lrown, Ksq., of Sands, Watauga Co., N. C. "I
had catarrh for several years, then took Grip, and had hemorrhage from the lungs.
I had the best medical 'attention, but only to bring partial relief. I got up for a few
mouths, but had more hemorrhages. I took Dr. K- 's Discovery (twenty-five or
thirty bottlesl, hut ill a few mouths I had more spells of bleeding. I wrote to Dr.
rierce ami received directions wnat kind ot medicine to use; 1 commenced taking 111s
'Ooldetl Medical Discovery ' and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. I hail only taken one
bottle wiieu I could see I was improving. I used three bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, aud five bottles of the ' Discovery.' I have been able to do any kind of
lals)r for more than twelve mouths. Well, I just simply owe my life to the World's
Dispensary Medical Association."
Sick people are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All cor
respondence is held as strictly private and confidential. Address Dr.
R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
The dealer who tries to palm off a substitute for "Golden Medical Dis
covery," does so in order to make the little more profit paid by the sale
of less meritorious preparations. Insist on having Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and take nothing else.

mathematician who undertaken to de
scribe tbe dimensions oi heaven. Ton,
ireniue takes as a basis for hia cal
culations tbe verse, "And he measured
tbe city with ihi reeris twelve tbouaand
furlooKS. Tbe length and breadth and
tbe height of it are equal . " Tbe results
o. tbie mathematician's work are de
scribed by a writer ia tbe Chicago Tri
bune as follows: "Tbe entire apace re

theru would be more than 100 of tbe six.

R-jotevelt should go home and re
main there. The parading of tbe presi
dential family baa already coBt the lile of
u trusted secret service official, came
nearly losing the nation its chief ' execu
tive and hie nrivato aecrotarv. and yes
terday tbe little Roosevelt peppered a
railroad man with ebot, the fai'nre to
kill him not being the fault of tbe "kid
with tbe gun." If tbe presidential party
continues its trip a few days longer the
papers may yet get material for scare
heads of the Tracy and Mount Pelea or
oer. East Dragoman.
Tbe indicatiocs are that tlio board of
directors of this city bave made au ex
cellent selection for superintendent cf
our schools. The recommendations of
Prof. Adams are of tbe highest order and
of a character to indinateltbeir value. In
keeping up the splendid reputation
our schools the board doea tbe proper
thing, and will be backed by our citizens
in everything tbat iB required to increase
their efficiency. Good schools mean
progress for Albany, and we cannot go
too far to make tbem tbe best, not med
iocre, but first class.
The lorost fires which have been rag-
lug in the Northwest are the woret in tbe
history of thispartof thocountry. They
are alt tbe reBult of cnriessueos. Every
one hue been started from a match in a
manner for which there was no excuse
Notwithstanding tbufact that we have a
stringent law auaiaat setting foreBt fires
aud tbe government ia spending thou
sands for foreBt rangers, there are more
fireB than ever. Theso laagers should
edrn their money by at least causing the
arrest of a few offenders and setting a
needed example.
A significant statement in a dispatch
announcing the endorsement of Koose
volt for President at the election in
November, 1904 is tbat tbe trusts will
not oppose him at tbe time. Certainly
not. Tbey can aee through tbe thickest
political mountain. Any one of average
intelligence knows that there ia no dan
iter to tbe trusts eo long as tbe present
tariff is upheld.

A big broom trust has been formed in

very mucb as if the President's anti
trust speeches were taken very eeriously.
A train of 35 cars loaded exclusively
with salmon left Portland last Friday
for tbe east. There wsb 1,225,000
pounds of fish. That ought to impress
tbe east with the importance cf this
Northwest country.
The fool killer needa to jump into the

The Guard and Register of Eugene
are having a red hot personal fight over
a discussion of the King of the Opium
Riiig performance. Mr. Tout of the Guard
and the Register -man are slinging Latin

recent emoke wasn't in it at all.
Some foot scientists in Denver bave
advanced tbe theory that forest fires
have been starting from metenrB falling

Fires ueneially bave been started from

TELEGRAPHIC.
A First street man baB discovered tbe
fact that the forest fires will be a good
thing for those having homesteads
burned out. These of course under the
li'w are more valuablb for agricultural
purposes than for timber and hence it is
a favor according to his reasoning to have
tho limber buined off.
