Incapacitate him for many days. He
was engaged as a driver, nnd yesterday
morning the mule became vicious nnd
kicked him severely In the side. Ex
tensive external bruises were indicted
and possibly Internal Injuries. In en
deavoring to loose the vicious nnlmal
from the trip his fingers became
tangled In the stretcher and one of
them was nearly twisted from his
hand. The member was so severely
lacerated that It was feared amputa

the finger by treatment and Is endeav

Tho Conquering Power of Aggression
In Evory Benlm of Life.
America, the mighty conqueror,
stands before tho world today a grand
Imperial power! Tho petty sneers of
continental nations are silenced by the
far-resounding echoes of our guns.
Those shallow critics who Imagined be
cause these United States were tho
homo of many peoples, that wo were
composed of Jarring, Inharmonious ele
ments, have suddenly learned that wo
ate one Indivisible nntlon, united in its
purpose nnd Its destiny.
True to tho Instincts of n vallnnt
race, America assumed the offensive
from the very start, but taking the
bold initiative at every point. From
Manila to Santiago tho cry was con
stantly heard: "On! On to the At
tack!" until the foolish Spaniards,
rudely awakened from their scornful.
Incredulous dream, found themselves
threatened In their own peninsula, and
were, at last, forced to petition for
mercy.
To "carry the war Into Africa," to
"beard the Hon In his den," to strike
the enemy In his own chosen domain
this Is tho surprising and audacious
policy which throughout all history
has ever characterized the boldest and
most successful nations.
THE WORDS OF A GREAT GEN
ERAL. In the unhappy days of the early
"sixties," when timorous Union men
were anxiously inquiring: "How shall
Washington be defended?" Gr t
gave the answer that told In two wr us
the conquering metal of which he was
moulded: "Attack Richmond!"
Not to defend but to attack is the
secret of success In every realm of hu
man achievement. The great business
man does not wait for opposition, he
opens tho attack and fires the first gun;
tho great lawyer so marshals his evi
dence that the other side shall be put
upon the defensive; the great physician
looks upon disease as an enemy that
must be searched out and overwhelmed
In its chosen stronghold, and routed as
thoroughly and completely as a fort
ressed army.
No physician of the present century
believes more sincerely In this splendid
and forceful conception of the cam
paign! asalnst disease than Dr. R. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. From his
earliest practice ho has held to the
opinion that this was the only true and
radical standpoint from which physical
aliments could be successfully combat
ed and ultimately overcome.
THE ELEMENT THAT MAKES SUC
CESS. Not to temporize with disease nor
wait for it to develope Its attack; not
to skirmish merely with Its outposts;
not to be content with n bare allevia
tion of Its superficial aspects; but to
strike deep and quickly at Its hidden
sources and drive It radically nnd un
sparingly from tho secret corners of
the physical constitution this has been
the unvarying purpose of Dr. Pierce's
long nnd successful career In the medi
cal profession; this Is the element that
has given his wonderful "Golden Medi
cal Discovery" Its unmatched potency
In curing what had hitherto been con
sidered almost hopeless diseases.
This grand "Discovery" attacks with
supreme alterative power tho Inner
most channels of the human nutritive
system; gives tonlo vigor to tho diges
tive processes; cleanses and strength
ens the liver; promotes the perfect Al
teration of morbid bilious products;
and enables tho blood-making glands
to produce that abundance of highly
vitalized blood which sweeps away
bacterial poisons from every part of
the organism; reconstructs healthy tis
sue and nerve-fiber; nnd recreates or
ganic power and normal energy.
It pursues dlseuso into the ultimate
sources of nutrition, where almost all
dlseas.es have their origin nnd primal
Inception. It combats the very begin
nings of dlsense more strongly nnd vig
orously than all the conventional
stereotyped remedies of any routine
practitioner: it rebuilds and rehabili
tates permanent health in cases which
no other medicine can possibly effect.
It does what no other medicine and no
other treatment has ever been able to
accomplish.
THE TRUE FOUNDATION.
It Is the product of deep study, thor
ough education and wide practical ex
perience. Its originator has been for
over thirty years chief consulting phy
sician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgl-
"W T " fi sJy
cal Institute of nuffalo, N. Y and dur
ing his long incumbency of this distin
guished position, surrounded by an as
sociate staff of eminent specialists, has
treated either personally or by malt J
more cases of severe chronlo disease
than any other physician In America.
"I had n terrible cough something
over a year ago and could find noth
ing to stop It, or even to do mo a par
ticle of good." says J. M. Farr, esq.,
of Cameron, Screven county, Ga., In an
earnest letter to Dr. Pierce. "I chanced
to see an advertisement of your In
valuable 'Golden Medical Discovery.'
Before I had taken half n bottle I was
entirely well.
"Winter besforc last my oldest boy
(who Is now nearly five yenrs old) had
n terrible cougft; he had It tho whole
winter nnd summer. Physicians did
him no good nnd nothing my wife and
I could do, did him any good. After
your 'Discovery' hnd cured me so
quickly I wrote to my wife to bring
him back from tho country, Bho having
carried him there to see If the change
would do him good. We were living In
Savannah, Ga., at Alio time. She
brought him back and after giving him
your great 'Golden Medical Discovery'
for a time, he entirely recovered."
"During the summer and fall of 1896
I became all 'run down,' " writes
Charles II. Sargent, esq., of Plain City,
Madison county, Ohio. "My nerves
were out of order and my stomach
also. I wroto to Dr. Pierce for ad
vice. He said I had general and ner
vous debility, nnd advised Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. I used' bIx
bottles; and since I stopped taking it
about one year ago, I have not taken
any medicine of any kind, and have
been able to work every day. My ap
petite Is good, I can eat three square
meals every day, and I do not feel
that miserable burning in the stomach
after eating. My blood nnd nerves are
In good shape, and well In fact, I
think I am in pretty good running or
der. The reason I delayed writing was
because I wanted to wait one year af
ter I had taken the medicine before
giving my statement."
BUILDING UP THE NERVES.
For weak and nervous women
whether thin or corpulent, and for pale,
emaciated, sickly children, this match
less "Discovery" Is the medicine par
excellence. It will not make useless
unhealthy fat: It will only make
weight where weight Is needed. It
builds up hard, muscular strength,
steady, vigorous nerve-power and vital
force.
It is a strictly temperance medicine.
It contains no alcohol nor any of Its
products. Numerous so-called "ton
ics," "sarsaparlllas" and "compounds"
contain so much alcohol that their
persistent use Is liable to Induce the
formation of Intemperate habits. The
"Golden Medical Discovery" Is a Bate
medicine to use In any family.
"About one year ago I wrote to Dr.
Pierce describing my disease," writes
Mrs. Armlntle H. Newman, of Dug
spur, Carroll county, Va. "I do not
know what did all me, my right side
nnd between my shoulders hurt me all
the time; I had no appetite, very little
sleep, falling, or prolapsus of internal
organs, and in fact I was all run down,
not able even to cook a meal, and
wns nearly blind in one eye,
"I had been to three doctors but
they did mo no good. I was determined
to try once more, and I wrote to Dr.
R. V. Pierce. I received a speedy an
swer telling me what to take for my
complaint and full directions how to
take tho medicine. I sent and got four
bottles; two of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, two of his 'Favor
ite Prescription,' and also one vial of
'Pleasant Pellets,' I took them accord
ing to directions and, thanks to God
and Dr. Pierce, I took the medicine two
months and got rid of all my pains. I
becamo strong and stout, so I could
weave without any fatigue. I could
walk four miles to singing class like
a girl of sixteen, and could sing with
a strong a voice ns the rest of them. I
wove nearly one hundred yards of
cloth In less than five months from the
time I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's
medicines."
If you are ill, and discouraged with
some slow, long-drawn out treatment
which brings you no positive cure,
write to Dr. Pierce and describe your
case. Ho will send you coud advice
promptly and without charge. He will
give you suggestions for simple, Inex
pensive, home-treatment which will un
questionably benellt you and, if per
severed in, will In all human probabil
ity result In perfect, permanent re
covery. Many people have asked If the "Gol
den Medical Discovery" Is claimed to
cure consumption. Tho answer to that
question is, it removes the causes of
consumption. It cures those weaken
ing, wasting, mal-nutrltlve conditions
of the blood-making organism which,
It neglected or Improperly treated, lead
on to consumption. It cures severe lin
gering coughs, throat nnd bronchial af
fections, nnd bleeding from tho lungs.
It has frequently cured cases of what
homo physicians had pronounced "In-
curable consumption" until they saw
the "Golden Medical Discovery" cure it.
They they concluded their diagnosis
was wrong. These aro the facts; they
speak louder than "claims."
BE NOT DECEIVED.
If you are convinced that Dr. Pierce's
Golden Mcdicnl Discovery Is what you
need, do not allow nny designing dealer
to palm oft a substitute on you under
the specious plea that tt is "Just as
good." If ho has no respect for your
Judgment show him that you have. Any
dealer can obtain this great standard
remedy for you If you Insist upon It. It
affords him a fair profit. It is his bus
iness to supply what you ask for, and
not to urge some substitute on you for
the sake of making a larger profit.
Your health Is of vastly more conse
quence than his profit. Let any sub
stituting dealer understand that.
THE BIBLE OF THE BODY.
Dr. Pierce's book has been read
wherever the English language Is spo
ken. His great thousand-page illus
trated volume, the People's Common
Senso Medical Advt',Cr, has had a
greater sale than my other medical
work ever publish' J. It has been not
inaptly referred to as "The Bible of the
Body," for It Is to the body what the
Sacred Scriptures are to the soul re
vealing light and truth. The profit
from the first edition of 750,000 copies at
$1.50 each, warranted him In Issuing a
free edition In paper covers. One copy
only to nny one family will bo sent
without charge except the bare cost
of mailing, 21 one-cent stamps, or 31
stamps for a heavier, handsomer, cloth
bound edition. Address D'r. Pierce aB
