Washington, March 1 j. In the .sen-
ate today.1 Turner of Washington, made
a speech attacking the policy and pro-
, visions of the Puerto Rican tariff and
government bill. He declared its en
actment would.! result in a debauchery
of our citizenship, or of our constitu
tion. He presumed that the minority
in congress would be charged with-fa-voring
a competition of the American
working peopfej with the underfed and
underpaid labor of Puerto Rico and
the Philippines,! but in this connection, j
. he said' it would have to be rcmem-

The life line is not an infallible oracle If it were
it would betwlse to select our soldiers by the length
of the life j lines in their hands. But the soldier
is selected ton the basis of stature, strength and
stomach, fop the stomach stands for the genSral
health and vitality of the man. A "weak n stomach
means a weak man, and a weak man won't do for
a soldier. I A weak stomach means a weak man
because the) body is nourished by food, and unless
the stomach and other organs of digestion and
nutrition ace in sound health, the food will be im
perfectly digested and partiallyi assimilated, and so
the entire body will be insufficiently nourished.
That is whir no man is stronger than his stomach.
That is why; "weak " heart, "weak" lungs, "weak"
kidneys and other forms of organic weakness are
often cured! when the weak stomach is cured and
the organs ire nourished into strength, j '
That xs wliy Dr. Pierce s Ooiaen Medical Discov
ery cures many forms of disease seemingly remote
from the stomach, by curing the diseased stomach
in which thjese other diseases had their origin. Dis
eases which!, originate in a diseased condition of the
stomach are cured through
the stomach. ;

I am so glad I found the risrht kind
ox medicine.,
The life and strength of the
body axe erttirel y derived from
food. ,v Wnen the digestive 4
and nutritive systems are disordered or diseased, the
channels byjr which the food supply must reach the
several organs of the body are partly obstructed.
Hence, the ( supply of nourishment falls pelow the
needs of a healthy body, and emaciation links itself
with .disease!. The? great flesh-making and body
building qualities possessed by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery are due to the fact that it cures
the disorders and diseases of the digestive and
nutritive systems, cleans out the choked channels of
nutrition, abd so opens the way for the perfect
nourishmenttof the body by food property digested
and perfectly assimilatedT It is food which builds
up the bodyj not medicine. No medicine can make
flesh. Flesh is made from food. - "Golden Medical
Discovery" drives the weak stomach power to prop
erly digest fhe food provided, and enables the per
fect assimilation of the digested food. For these
reasons the j Disco very? is superior tp cod liver oil,
emulsions, and invalid foods as a body builder, for
children as f ell as men a(nd women. It increases the
weight, notjby puffing up the body with flabby fat,
but by buildjtng up the body with firm, healthy flesh;
The remarkable promptness with which " Golden
Medical Discovery " acts, is marked in the follow
mg testimonial.:
Your medicine helped me so much that I cannot praise it too
highly," writes MrsiT C I. Brooks, of Polar d, Androscoggin Co.

tion, and my tomachas so bloated that it seemed as though
it must burst. My husband said be was going for the doctor
but I said if he would get me a bottle of the 'Golden Medicai
Discovery I would try that. I haL5 taken it long when I feit
relieved, and hae not had a touch of indigestion or stomach
trouble since. I hid been sick for four years and less than four
bottles cured me. Some people that knew me before I began
to take the Golden Medical Discovery ' tell me that they never
saw sue a caauge in any one, ana mey aiso say they don t see
bow 1 can do such large washings as I do now, when I had not
none a wssning iort so long.- ,

The relation; of other weakened organs I to the
nweak" stomach is shown most forcibly by the
wonaenui manner m wnicn wea lungs are; healed
by "Golden Medical Discovery." This is a medi
cine which strengthens the stomach and purifies the
blood. What has a medicine for the, stomach and
blood to do with the lungs ? Answer thatjquestion
by asking another. What have the: stomach and
blood to do with the lungs f ; 1 I V
Why everything. There
no life without blood, and
there's no blood without food
and food is prepared for blood
making purposes in the stom
ach. It is evident, then, that
the " weak " stomach is inti
xnately related to the weak
lungs. All phy
sicians recognize
this.! tor con
sumptives they
prescribe" cod
liver oil I and its
emulsions. This
is a food and
nothing else.
Its use is an at
tempt to reach
the : lungs
by 111-
nutrt
stomach
creased
tion. But this
treatment in
trying to reach
the weak lungs
does nothing for
the weak stom
ach, and there
fore attempts to
cure the fruit of
a disease with
out touching the
root of it, and that's why
the treatment fails.
"Golden Medical j Discov
ery " heals diseases of the
stomach and organs of di
gestion arid nutrition, and
so increases the nutrition
of the body. . It stimu
lates the action of the
blood - making- glands so
that ah abundant quantity of pure, rich blood is
supplied in a vitalizing stream to the organs whose
life is bloody- I '
People who have been given up by doctors :
peoplefwhose pbstinate coughs, hemorrhages, night-
sweats and emaciation all told the story of diseased
lungs, have beenu perfectly and permanently cured
by the use of y Golden Medical Discovery."

DELIVERED FROM THE GRAVE.
"Some two years ago I was almost a helpless victim to that
dreaded disease icousumption," writes Mr. Charles Fross. P. M.,
of Sitka.fWbite Co., Indiana. "I was confined to my room for
several months ; my friends and neighbors had given up all
hope oflmy recovery, until one day a friend advised me to take
Dr. Pierre's IGolden Medical Discovery, and after I bad taken
the consents of the second bottle I began to improve. After
taking six bottles I was, I honestly believe, delivered from the
grave and entirely cured. I am now a strong and hearty man."
' I - ' ; .
There is nq alcohol in the "Discovery." and it is
absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all nar
cotics. Accept no substitute for this medicine,
which is without an equal in the . number and
variety of its cures. Insist upon the medicine
which: cured others.

Seed potatoes, should be sorted out

for the sake of economy, be cut to two
or three eyes. If the seed is high- price-

for ah- hour and a half. Dissolve tyo
ounces of corrosive sublimate; in fifteen
gallons of water, put the r potatoes

"The soil needs to be -plowed early

farmers and gardeners still use stable -'
manure for fertilizer. The common
practice with Long Island market card-
erers. on their, light, iandy soil, is to
open the rows two and a half feet apart
with" a two-horse plow, , spread the ma
nure in the bottom of the furrow,
cover lightly with soil, drop the seed
from nine, to fifteen inches apart accord
ing to variety, and cover with a plowJ '
or a plank drag. If fertilizer is used
it is applied in the same way, mixing it
