That Aycr's Sarsaparilla is the best euro for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Complaint, is. proved by tho following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway Centre, Mich.: "Liver complaint and Indigestion made my life a burden and camo near ending my existence. For more, than four years I suffered untold ugonv, was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at all. Within the time mentioned several physicians treated mo without giving re lief. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until I commenced tho use of Aycr's Sarsaparilla, which lias produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take the Sarsapa rilla I could see an improvement In my condition. My appctito began to return and with It came tho ability to digest all tho food taken, my strength Im proved each day, and after a few months of faithful attention to your directions, I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties.

Itclknap's Sudden Drntli. Washinotov, Oct. 14. Associate Jus tice Miller, of tho United States su preme court, who was stricken with paralj-Bls several days ago, nnd whoso death was looked for hourly slnco the time of his prostration by the fatal stroke, died, last night a few minutes before 11 o'clock. Justice Altller was stricken with par alysis last Friday afternoon, wlillo walking from a Massachusetts street car to his house on Thomas circle. He fell down on his face, nnd when picked up nnd carried luto his house was un conscious. He soon regained intelll cenco nnd nnneared unite cheerful, bnt at no tlmo was much hopo of his recor-' cry enienaineu. Samuel Freeman Sillier was 1xrn In Richmond. Kv.. Atril 5. 1810. Ho graduated at the medical department of tno iransyivanla university tu Ken tucky In lb38. nnd' practlcod medicine for a few "years, hut afterwards became a lawyer. In 1830 Judge Miller removed to Iowa, where no became prominent among Republicans in that stato. In 1802 l'resident Lincoln nnnointed him associate justlco of the supremo court of tho United States. He was at tho time of his death the oldest jnstlco in con tinuous service on tho court bench. A Hard Worker. The paralytic stroke of Justice Miller was a snmriso to every one in Washing ton. His constitution has, apparently, been one of iron, nnu lie lias lor years worKeu more man twelve uours out or tho twenty-four. It was his.hablt to bo into his oilice, at his home on Massachu setts avenue, as soon as ho had finished liia breakfast in tho morning, nnd to work there upon his cases until the su preme court mot at noon. During his wholo career as a supreme court justice ho missed scarcely a day in attendance upon the supreme court when it was sit ting, and he worked far into the night writing his ojiiuions and passing upon cases after his return from tho Capitol. There has been no judgo on the oench for years who has done more work than Justlco Miller, and ho was one of the best equipped men of tho corps of jus tices. He was a self educated man, and he never had the advantage of college training. Self Etlncntcd. He Btarted life as a drug clerk and spent three yaars in making up prescrip tions. He then went to a medical school in Kentucky nnd practiced medicine after he h I gotten his diploma, for eight years, when he began to study law he took up the study of Latin and acquired a thorough knowledgo of the language. Justice Miller has always been a strong Republican. Ho made his first political speeches when he lxyjan to stuuy law ana ue was an nruent 101 lower of Henry Clay. During his long career of twenty- eight years on the bench, thero has never lieon a whisner of scandal concerning him. He has never speculated upon his information received as a justice of the Bnpreme court, and though he has received more than $250,000 in salaries from Uncle Sam, ho has not worked the machine at both ends and made a fortune out of it.
