The sight whic greetad hose who had come to aid the fjured was sickening. Down the aisles and along the outside of the pews the dead bodies of men and women were strewn. and the maimed and crippled uttered the most heartrending cries. The work of removing the bodies was begun at once. The walls of the relatives of the dead, who had waited on the outside, could be heard for several blocks Most of the dead are women. and the physicians say that in many cases they fainted and died from suffocation. A remarkable feature of the calamity is that little or no blood was seen on any of the victims. They were either crushed or died from suffocauon Killed Mis Father. Woonsocket, R.

When the blood is impure, the cheeks grow sallow, the eyes dull, the hair loses its luster, When the blood flows through the veins in a pure, rich current, the eyes sparkle, the skin is clear, the complexion beautiful, Women who use Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, find that it is a genuine beautifier, By purifying and enriching the blood it puts a bloom on the cheek and a brightness in the eyes, which tell the story of perfect health. "Golden Medical Discovery” does not make blood. No med. icine can do that, But the " Dis covery ” acts upon the blood mak- ing organs, giving them vitality, and increases the activity of the blood-making glands. It strengthens the stomach and rids the system of the waste matter which poisons the blood, and through that ‘medtum breeds disease in heart, liver, lungs and nerve or other organs, which all depend on the blood for their life and healthy activity “Golden Medical Discovery” is a temperance medicine containing no i nor other narcotics aleohol, neither cocaine, ubstitute for the " Discovery.” Substitutes are a profit to the dealer but a loss to you, because they will not do what * Discovery” will do for you, onium plum, A ACCet No s Was Tired all the Time, left weak from the doet Alice 1 Ned .
